Three Secrets to being Irresistible!

1. Spot Light: Put the spot light on others around you

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” —Maya Angelou

a. Notice what “lights up” the one you are speaking with and light them up with your kind, sincere words!

Clothing, hair and what he or she points out are clues to what you could start with!
Listen deeply for what people value.  Reflect the growth and their values back to them!

Are they often talking about helping the environment, into sports, or a particular artist?

Authentically get curious about what you notice another is into!

“Tell me about your beautiful shirt, for example!

b. Speak often in his or her company about what you notice lights him or her up!

c. Genuinely learn more about what lights those you are often with!

Knowing what he or she values, likes and becomes happier about will give you a great ability to bring joy to the ones you are with!

For example, My Mom is one of my treasures! She is the best woman I know!

She is as busy as a mom, business women, and philanthropist could be!

So she values her time!

Generally, she rushes off the phone with most people to get to her work. She would be especially quick if you focus on topics like fashion, American Music and Environmental issues!

If you bring up Hindi music (she used to sing amazing songs), her grandkids, or charity work, she can talk for hours!

I love talking to her so I spot light on the topics she loves and guess what, we can talk for hours! My Mom calls me her “Sunshine” !

2. Tell good stories!

This one has been drilled into us since we were kids … except most still don’t get it.

Yes, stories support your irresistiblity , make solid openers, and connect with people while entertaining them, and a good story can make you a legend!

The story of how an Angel asked me to take it’s picture has been featured in a documentary Movie.

As I was leading  a trip across Italy!
I saw the Angel, the Angel said, “take a picture!”

I did. Then the rest on the bus with us could see the Angel too!
There is so much more to this story!

You can hear it here

We talk about this picture below:

Tell true, good, and inspiring stories to be irresistible!

I’m not talking about just the little anecdotes that pepper conversations. I’m talking about the story that people say, “WOW, really.”

They will forget about all the others. Tell me that one.

Chicken Soup for the soul is a great place to find stories! Jack Canfield has a lot of amazing stories he collected!  Being able to tell great stories helped him become a very loved man!

So is the Miracle Makers Broadcast on UBN!
We tell a lot of great stories about Egypt and guests we have had on Miracle Makers!

A great picture can enhance any story!

a. Interesting stories you can tell can be about your family are awesome! (share your Fathers fishing stories, mother being asked out by rock star!)

Stories that still make you laugh, (say, “in 5th grade I……. ” or “This one time in College, my roomate Blair Cason and I….”

Or stories that make you cry. (Start the story with, “Once upon a time I thought and THEN I saw this TED talk…”!)

Share a story about one of Oprah’s tear jerking episode for example!

b. The newspaper especially sports section is filled with them! Presidents and Public figure stories are great too!

Pick and plan 3 stories you can share at a gathering before you arrive at the gathering!

When attention comes your way, you’ll have at least 3 good stories you could share!
You will be irresistible because you are lit up and lovable!

Once upon a time, I was socially anxious I used sit in my car before I went anywhere! When I learned to tell stories, I became so much less socially awkward.
I would remind myself to: focus on others, remember to light them up and to be courageous!

I knew I could take attention and tension off me by just focusing on others and sharing stories! I remembered they might be nervous too!

I loved and memorized great stories from the Chicken Soup For The Soul Book until I became comfortable telling my own stories!

3. Be courageous- Meaning: Be present with your whole heart available!

You love a person who is noticing what is in the moment, sharing the moment with you!
I know that you feel it when the moment becomes alive for you again!

We all enjoy the childlike joy in seeing a

a beautiful painting, plant or person everyone can appreciate!

We all enjoy a child looking at us with fascination!
You may love looking at the world from a new perceptive, like when a child shows you his kaleidoscope view of the world!

We all love someone truly focusing on us!

Share what you see and enjoy that is available for all to experience together!

If there is a fabulous dip at the buffet share with enthusiasm your delight for it!

“To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.” —Eleanor Roosevelt

Bonus: Do not criticize.

“Criticism is futile because it puts a man on the defensive, and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a man’s precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses his resentment.” – Dale Carnegie

Leeza Gibbons Winning Celebrity Apprentice Is the Most

Irresistible Thing Ever! She won over Donald Trump with Kindness, Leadership, and Talent!  That is what it means to be irresistible!

“I’m a little surprised you made it this far. I never thought you were tough enough,” Donald Trump confessed to Leeza. “You led with kindness, and I don’t meet people like you. You do so well. You really do have tremendous talent and leadership ability.”

Unlike other contestants, the Emmy Award-winning broadcaster played the game fairly, strategically and she avoided the catfights among reality stars!

Love you!

Thank you for taking time to being “Irresistibly you”!

Sarah, during the replay about forgiveness and rage, your words impacted my soul. I cried while listening to your life experience. Maybe, I cried because it reminded me of aspects of my own life that I maybe, on some level, perhaps from ego, did not want to acknowledge.  It is heroic that you embraced your life with an open heart void of judgment so that you could move forward to help others with clarity and grace. Thank you for your courage to share your experience.

Very inspiring. Sincerely, Andrew

Armistice Day

The first Armistice Day was held at Buckingham Palace, commencing with King George V hosting a “Banquet in Honour of the President of the French Republic” during the evening hours of 10 November 1919. The first official Armistice Day events were subsequently held in the grounds of Buckingham Palace on the morning of 11 November 1919. This would set the trend for a day of Remembrance for decades to come. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armistice_Day

In a Special event: We will continue the creation, flow, and realization of what was started!
Those at war put their weapons down and made an agreement to “stop” at a particular hour on a particular day!
Those at war demanded and got those in power to agree to “stop” at 11/ 11 at the 11th hour!

Let us end all wars!
We can do this together!

We invite you to join us

Armistice Day Retreat
Nov 11th, 2025
Malibu, California

Those that know “how to hold the highest frequency” meet you on this day and
we travel together inside our hearts and on this sacred land while doing spiritual work.

We are privately in the pyramids spaces, temples, and other spiritually exotic experiences?

We will also be discussing Near-Death Experiences and messages from the spirit world!

Dr. Sarah will also be channeling messages for you and the group.
As an intuitive and medium, she will also offer guidance as specific requests or questions arise.

Dr. Sarah Larsen is trained in western and eastern medicine, is a transformational teacher and coach, a world-class speaker and entrepreneur. 

Sarah had a series of Near-Death Experiences from ages 14-19 and since that time sought knowledge in science, history, and religious traditions to explain, heal herself and expand her world view.  These insights, which transcend traditional borders, are what she offers to her clients and to her audiences around the world.  She is committed to the joining of our inner worlds with our outer worlds. She is a certified master trainer and facilitator of Neurolinguistics Programming, hypnotism and intuition development. 

She can be seen and heard throughout the world on iHeart Radio, UBN Radio/TV and CRN network – with its 25 million subscribers. 

We all are capable of reaching that state of effortless concentration and enjoyment called “flow.”

The metaphor of flow is one that many people have used to describe the sense of effortless action they feel in moments that stand out as the best in their lives. Athletes refer to it as “being in the zone,” religious mystics as being in “ecstasy,” artists and musicians as “aesthetic rapture.” I appreciate you!   Dr. Sarah  

New Year, Merkabah Activation Verse.

I have been trained by Dr Judith Long in this process!
I recommend you do this process with a trained teacher!

 Merkabah Activation: 

Merkabah, also spelled Merkaba, is the divine light vehicle allegedly used by ascended masters to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms. “Mer” means Light. “Ka” means Spirit. “Ba” means Body. Mer-Ka-Ba means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, (wheels within wheels), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transports spirit/body from one dimension to another.

Sacred Geometry

Flower of LifeThe Flower of Life is a geometrical figure composed of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles, that are arranged so that they form a flower-like pattern with a six-fold symmetry like a hexagon. In other words, the center of each circle is on the circumference of six surrounding circles of the same diameter. The Temple of Osiris at Abydos, Egypt contains the oldest to date example. it is carved in granite and may possibly represent the Eye of Ra a symbol of the authority of the pharaoh.

Other examples can be found in Phoenician, Assyrian, Indian, Asian, Middle Eastern, and medieval art. A Flower of Life pattern can be constructed with a pen, compass and paper, by creating multiple series of interlinking circles. In some renditions, the rosette on the unofficial flag of Padania is a partial version of the flower of life pattern. The Flower of Life pattern contains the basis of Metatron’s Cube. From this pattern, all five of the Platonic solids can be derived.

Mer-Ka-Ba Meditation

In modern esoteric teachings, it is taught that the MerKaBa is an interdimensional vehicle consisting of two equally sized, interlocked tetrahedra of light with a common center, where one tetrahedron points up and the other down. This point symmetric form is called a stella octangula or stellated octahedron which can also be obtained by extending the faces of a regular octahedron until they intersect again.

In his books, researcher and physicist Drunvalo Melchizedek describes this figure as a “Star Tetrahedron”, since it can be viewed as a three dimensional Star of David. By imagining two superimposed “Star Tetrahedrons” as counterrotating, along with specific “prana” breathing techniques, certain eye movements and mudras, it is taught that one can activate a non-visible ‘saucer’ shaped energy field around the human body that is anchored at the base of the spine.

Depending on the height of the person doing the exercise, this field is about 55 feet across. Once activated, this ‘saucer’ shaped field is capable of carrying ones consciousness directly to higher dimensions.

The Teaching Of Spherical Breathing: Using 18 BreathsBy Drunvalo Melchizedek

There are 17+1 breaths, where the first six are for balancing the polarity, the next seven for proper pranic flow through the entire body. The further breaths are for shifting the consciousness from 3rd to 4th dimension and finally the last three breaths is for re-creating the rotating Merkabah within and around the body. The last breath is not taught. Once each day, enter into this meditation, until the time comes when you are a conscious breather, remembering with each breath your intimate connection with God.

FIRST BREATH: Inhale

HEART: Open your heart and feel love for all life. If you cannot do this, you must at least open to this love as much as is possible for you. This is the most important instruction of all.

MIND: Become aware of the male tetrahedron (the apex facing up to the sun, the point facing to the front for male, the point to the back for females) filled with the brilliant white light surrounding your body. Visualize it the best you can. If you cannot visualize it, sense or feel it surrounding you.

BODY: At the same moment of inhalation, place your hands in the mudra of your thumb and first finger touching. Remember, lightly touch your fingers, and do not allow your fingers to touch each other or any other object. Keep your palms facing up.

BREATH: At this same moment, with empty lungs, begin to breath in a complete yogic manner. Breath through your nostrils only, except at certain places which will be described. Simply put, breath from yourstomach first, then your diaphragm, and finally your chest. Do this in one movement, not three parts. The exhale is completed either by holding the chest firm and relaxing the stomach, slowly releasing the air, or by holding the stomach firm and relaxing the chest. The most important aspect is that this breathing must be rhythmic. Begin by using seven seconds in and seven seconds out, but as you get familiar with this meditation, find your own rhythm. The following instructions for a complete Yogic Breath are from “the Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath” by Yogi Ramacharake. Perhaps this description will be helpful.

Breathing through the nostrils, inhale steadily, first filling the lower part of the lungs, which is accomplished by bringing into play the diaphragm, which descending exerts a gentle pressure on the abdominal organs, pushing forward the front walls of the abdomen. Then fill the middle part of the lungs, pushing out the lower ribs, breastbone and chest. Then fill the higher portion of the lungs, protruding the upper chest, thus lifting the chest, including the upper six or even pairs of ribs.

At first reading it may appear that this breath consists of three distinct movements. This, however, is not the correct idea. The inhalation is continuous, the entire chest cavity from the lowered diaphragm to the highest point of the chest in the region of the collar bone, being expanded with a uniform movement. Avoid a jerky series of inhalations, and strive to attain a steady continuous action. Practice will soon overcome the tendency to divide the inhalation into three movements, and will result in a uniform continuous breath. You will be able to complete the inhalation in a few seconds after a little practice.

Exhale quite slowly, holding the chest in a firm position, and drawing the abdomen in a little and lifting it upward as the air leaves the lungs. When the air is entirely exhaled, relax the chest and abdomen. A little practice will render this part of the exercise easy, and the movement once acquired will be afterward performed almost automatically.

FIRST BREATH: Exhale

HEART: Love

MIND: Become aware of the female tetrahedron, (apex pointing to the earth, point facing to the back for males, point facing to the front for females), also filled with the brilliant white light

BODY: Keep the same mudra.

BREATH: Do NOT hesitate at the top of the inhalation to begin the exhalation. Exhale quite slowly, approximately seven seconds, in the Yogic manner. When the air is out of the lungs, without forcing, relax the chest and abdomen and HOLD the breath. When you feel pressure to breathe again, after about five seconds or so, then do the following:

MIND: Be aware of the flat equilateral triangle at the top of the female tetrahedron located in the horizontal plane that passes through your chest at the sternum. In a flash, and with a pulse like energy, send that triangular plane down through the female tetrahedron. It gets smaller as it goes down and pushes out the tip or apex of the tetrahedron all the negative energy of the mudra or electrical circuit, a light will shoot out of the apex toward the center of the Earth. The Mind exercise is performed along with the following BODY movements.

BODY: Move your eyes slightly toward each other, or, in other words, slightly cross your eyes. Now bring them up to the top of their sockets, or in other words, look up. Also, this looking up motion should not be extreme. You will feel a tingling feeling between your eyes in the area of your third eye . You can now look down to the lowest point you can, as fast as you can. You should feel an electrical sensation move down your spine. The MIND and BODY must coordinate the above mental exercis e with the eye movements. The eyes look down from their up position at the same time the mind sees the triangular horizontal plane of the female tetrahedron move down to the apex of the female tetrahedron. This combined exercise will clean out the negative thoughts and feelings that have entered into your electrical system. Specifically, it will clean out the part of your electrical system that is associated with the particular mudra you are using. Immediately upon pulsing the energy down your spine, you change mudras to the next one and begin the entire cycle over again. The next five breaths are a repeat of the first breath with the following mudra changes:

Second breath mudra: Thumb and second finger together

Third breath mudra: Thumb and third finger together

Fourth breath mudra: Thumb and little finger together

Fifth breath mudra: Thumb and first finger together (same as first breath)

Sixth breath mudra: Thumb and second finger together (same as second breath)

The first part, the first six breaths, the balancing of the polarities, and the cleansing of your electrical system is now complete. You are now ready for the next part, the next seven breaths.

Here an entirely new breathing pattern begins. You do not need to visualize the star tetrahedron at this time. Only the tube that runs through the star, from the apex of the male tetrahedron above your head to the apex of the female tetrahedron below your feet, needs to be seen and worked with. This extends one hand length above your head and one hand length below your feet. The diameter of YOUR tube will be the size of the hole formed by YOUR thumb and forefinger touching.

BREATH NUMBER SEVEN: Inhale

HEART: Love. There is another refinement here that can be used after you have perfected this meditation.

MIND: Visualize or sense the tube running through your body. The instant you begin the seventh inhale, see the brilliant white light of the prana moving down the tube from the top and up the tube from the bottom at the same time. This movement is almost instantaneous. The point where these two light beams meet within your body is controlled by the mind and is a vast science known throughout the universe. In this teaching however, we will only be shown what is necessary , that which will take you from third to fourth dimensional awareness. In this case you will direct the two beams of prana to meet at your navel, or more correct, within your body at navel level, inside the tube. The moment the two beams of prana meet, which is just as the inhale begins, a sphere of white light or prana is formed at the meeting point about the size of a grapefruit centered on the tube. It all happens in an instant. As you continue to take the inhale of the seventh breath, the sphere of prana begins to concentrate and grow slowly.

BODY: For the next seven breaths use the same mudra for both inhale and exhale, the thumb, first and second touching together palms up.

BREATH: Deep rhythmic Yogic breathing, seven seconds in and seven seconds out. There is no holding of the breath from now on. The flow of prana from the two poles will not stop or change in any way when you go from inhale to exhale. It will be a continuous flow that will not stop for a long as you breath in this manner, even after death.

SEVENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The prana sphere centered at the navel continues to grow. By the time of the full exhale, the prana sphere will be approximately eight or nine inches in diameter.

BREATH: Do not force the air out of your lungs. When your lungs are empty naturally, immediately begin the next breath.

EIGHTH BREATH: Inhale

HEART: Love.

MIND: The prana sphere continues to concentrate life force energy and grow in size

EIGHT BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The prana sphere continues to grow in size and will reach maximum size at the end of this breath. This maximum size is different for each person. If you put your longest finger in the center of your navel, the line on your wrist defining your hand will show you the radius of the maximum size of this sphere for YOU. This sphere of prana cannot grow larger.

NINTH BREATH: Inhale

MIND: The prana sphere cannot grow larger, so what happens is the prana begins to concentrate within the sphere. The visual appearance is that the sphere grows BRIGHTER.

BREATH: Sphere grows brighter and brighter as you inhale.

NINTH BREATH: Exhale

BREATH: As you exhale, the sphere continues to grow brighter and brighter.

TENTH BREATH: Inhale

MIND: About half way through this inhale, as the sphere continues to brighter, the prana sphere reaches critical mass. The sphere ignites into a sun, a brilliant blinding ball of white light. You are now ready for the next step.

TENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: At the moment of exhale, the small sphere two hand lengths in diameter bulges to expand. In one second, combined with the breath talked about below, the sphere expands quickly out to the sphere of Leonardo, out at your finger tips of your extended arms. Your body is now completely enclosed within a huge sphere of brilliant white light. You have returned to the ancient form of spherical breathing. However, at this point, this sphere is not stable. You MUST breath three more times to keep the sphere stable.

BREATH: At the moment of exhale, make a small hole with your lips and blow out your air with pressure. As you feel the sphere begin to bulge, all within the first second of this exhale, let all of your air out rapidly. The sphere will expand at that moment.

ELEVENTH, TWELFTH and THIRTEENTH BREATH: Inhale and Exhale

MIND: Relax and just feel the flow of the prana flowing from the two poles and meeting at the navel and then expanding out to the large sphere

BREATH: Breath rhythmically and deeply. At the end of the thirteenth breath you have stabilized the large sphere and are ready for the important 14th breath.

THE FOURTEENTH BREATH

HEART: Love

MIND: On the inhale of the 14th breath, at the very beginning of the breath, move the point where the two beams of prana meet from the navel to the sternum, the fourth dimensional chakra. The entire large sphere, along with the original sphere, which is also still contained within the large sphere, moves up to the new meeting point within the tube. Though this is very easy to do, it is an extremely powerful movement. Breathing from this new point within the tube will inevitably change your awareness from third to fourth dimensional consciousness, or from earth consciousness to Christ consciousness.

BODY: This mudra will be used for the rest of the meditation. Place the left palm on top of the right palm for males and the right palm on top of the left palm for females. It is a mudra that relaxes.

BREATH: Rhythmic breath and deep. However, if you continue to breathe from your Christ center without moving on to the MER-KA-BA, which is what is recommended until you have made contact with yourHigher Self, then shift to a shallow breath. In other words, breath rhythmically but in a comfortable manner where your attention is more on the flow of energy moving up and down the tube meeting at the sternum and expanding out to the large sphere. Just feel the flow. Use your feminine side to just be. At this point don’t think, just breath, feel and be. Feel your connection to All Life through the Christ Breath. Remember your intimate connection with God.

The Mer-Ka-Ba, The Vehicle Of Ascension

The Last Three Breaths

You are asked not to attempt this FOURTH PART until you have made contact with your Higher Self, AND your Higher Self has given you permission to proceed. This part is to be taken seriously. The energies that will come into and around your body and spirit are of tremendous power. If you are not ready, you could hurt yourself. If your Higher Self gives you permission to enter into the MER-KA-BA, then don t fear, for you will be ready.

FIFTEENTH BREATH: Inhale:

HEART: Love

MIND: Be aware of the whole star tetrahedron. Realize that there are three whole star tetrahedrons superimposed over each other. One is the body itself, and is locked in place and never, except under certain conditions, moves. It is placed around the body according to maleness or femaleness. The second whole star tetrahedron is male in nature, it is electrical, is literally the human mind and rotates counter-clockwise relative to your body looking out, or to put it another way, it rotates toward your left side. The third whole star tetrahedron is female in nature, is magnetic, is literally the human emotional body and rotates clockwise relative to your body looking out, or to put it another way, it rotates toward your right side.

To be clear, we are not telling you to rotate the male tetrahedron one way and the female the other way. When we say rotate the whole star tetrahedron, we mean the whole thing.

On the inhale of the fifteenth breath, as you are inhaling, you will say to yourself, in your head, the code words, EQUAL SPEED. This will tell your mind that you want the two rotatable whole star tetrahedrons to begin spinning in opposite directions at equal speeds at the time of the exhale. Meaning that for every complete rotation of the mind tetrahedrons, there will be a complete rotation of the emotional tetrahedrons.

BODY: Continue the mudra of the folded hands from now on.

BREATH: Breath Yogic and rhythmically an deeply again, but only for the next three breaths, after that return to the shallow breathing.

FIFTEENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The two sets of tetrahedrons take off spinning. In an instant, they will be moving at exactly one third the speed of light at their outer tips. You probably will not be able to see this because of their tremendous speed, but you can feel it. What you have just done is to start the MOTOR of the MER-KA-BA. You will not go anywhere, or have an experience. It is just like starting the motor of a car, but having the transmission in neutral.

BREATH: Make a small hole with your lips just like you did for breath Number Ten. Blow out in the same manner, and as you do, feel the two sets of tetrahedrons take off spinning.

SIXTEENTH BREATH: Inhale

MIND: As you let out the breathe, the two sets of tetrahedrons take off from their one third speed of light setting to two third speed of light in an instant. As they approach two thirds speed of light speed a phenomena takes place. A disk about 55 feet in diameter forms around the body at the level of the base of the spine. And the sphere of energy that is centered around the two sets of tetrahedrons forms with the disk to create a shape that looks like a FLYING SAUCER around the body. This energy matrix is called the MER-KA-BA. However, it is not stable. If you see or sense the MER-KA-BA around you at this point, you will know it to be unstable. It will be slowly wobbling. Therefore Breath Number Seventeen is necessary.

BREATH: Same as breath 16, make a small hole in your lips, and blow out with pressure. It is at this point that the speeds increases. As you feel the speed increasing, let out all your breath with force. This action will cause the higher speed to be fully obtained and the MER-KA-BA to be formed.

SEVENTEENTH BREATH: Inhale

HEART: Remember, unconditional love for all life must be felt through out all of this meditation or no results will be realized.

MIND: As you breathe in, say to yourself, in your head, the code NINE TENTHS THE SPEED OF LIGHT. This code will tell your mind to increase the speed of the MER-KA-BA to nine tenths the speed of lightwhich will stabilize the rotating field of energy. It will also do something else. This third dimensional universe that we live in is tuned to 9/10 the speed of light. Every electron in your body is rotating around every atom in your body at 9/10 the speed of light. This is the reason this particular speed is selected.

BREATH: Breathe rhythmically and in a Yogic manner.

SEVENTEENTH BREATH: Exhale

MIND: The speed increases to 9/10 the speed of light and stabilizes the MER-KA-BA.

BREATH: Same as breath 15 and 16, make a small hole in your lips, and blow out with pressure. As you feel the speed take off, let all your breath out with force. You are now in your stable and Third dimensionally tuned MER-KA-BA. With the help of your Higher Self, you will understand what this really means.

EIGHTEENTH BREATH:

This very special breath will not be taught here. You must receive it from Your Higher Self. It is the breath that will take you through the speed of light into the fourth dimension. You will disappear from this world and reappear in another one that will be your new home for awhile. This is not the end, but the beginning of an ever expanding consciousness returning you HOME to your FATHER.

Merkaba

The word Merkaba or Merkava – Hebrew ‘Chariot’ or ‘to ride an animal, in a chariot’ – is used in the Bible (Ezekiel 1:4-26) to refer to the throne-chariot of God, the four-wheeled vehicle driven by four Cherubim, each of which has four wings and four faces (of a man, lion, ox, and eagle). Four means ‘time’ in alchemy.

Ezekiel, Sumerian Gods, UFO Connections Wheels Within Wheels

In medieval Judaism, the beginning of the book of Ezekiel was regarded as the most mystical passage in the Bible, and its study was discouraged, except by mature individuals with an extensive grounding in the study of traditional Jewish texts.

Jewish biblical commentaries emphasize that the imagery of the Merkaba is not meant to be taken literally; rather the chariot and its accompanying angels are analogies for the various ways that God reveals Himself in this world.

Maimonides in his 13 principles of faith emphazies that God is not limited to any particular form, as this prophesy might seem to imply.

Chassidic philosophy and Kaballah explain at length what each aspect of this vision represents in this world, and how they in no way imply that God is made up of these forms. The danger of understanding these passages as literal descriptions of God’s image likely accounts for the opposition among Torah scholars towards learning this topic without the proper initiation. Jews customarily read the Biblical passages concerning the Merkaba in their synagogues every year on the holiday of Shavuot.

We are a part of something much greater than we have been told to believe. Our minds could and should be far more advanced in intelligence as the global brain assignment goes.

In this time of change, we are about to engage a new era for which there will be a thread of history that can be traced through time on earth.

There is some basic history  that we accept among our more general populace as the normal way to think.  There was not a lot that was shared unless one was in a secret club or allowed into a certain level or class in society. The veil of secrecy came into existence and the chosen and the mystics and Shamans through time became the keepers of the stories and history. All was planned for the future in order to allow the human primitive mind to adjust over time and through generations to evolve in thought processing for the global mind.

The first ancient cities were of a continent that was once all one and was split where a great lake became an ocean now called the Atlantic Ocean. Lemuria and Mu are sometimes distinct and sometimes interchangeable names for a legendary lost continent, which, according to its proponents, existed in the Caribbean Ocean and had many of the attributes associated with Atlantis.  The mysterious lost lands of Lemuria and Mu were conceived of during the nineteenth century, when the theory of evolution was introduced and was among the advances in the sciences that challenged conventional ways of understanding life. Archaeological discoveries among the ruins of the Egyptians, Mayans, and other societies were forcing new interpretations of history, and radical forms of mysticism, such as Theosophy, were becoming popular. References to the lost continent of Mu can be traced back to 1864 and a French archaeologist named Charles-Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg.

He had become fascinated by hieroglyphics found on Mayan ruins that dated back several centuries. By the time Spanish explorers had reached the New World areas of Mexico and Central America in the 1500s, the great centers of Mayan civilization had long been abandoned and were being reclaimed by the rainforest. Brasseur traveled to Spain to look at artifacts of Mayan civilization. In a library in Madrid he discovered a purported guide to Mayan hieroglyphics. Using the guide to decipher a rare Mayan manuscript, he learned about an ancient land that had sunk into the ocean after a volcanic eruption.

Figures corresponding to letters “M” and “U” were connected with the lost land, and Brasseur determined that the lost continent was named Mu. Using that same guide, however, later scholars were unable to decipher such a story, or to even make sustained and meaningful text from the hieroglyphics. It was not until the mid-twentieth century that a thorough guide to interpreting Mayan hieroglyphics was established.

Nevertheless, Brasseur’s version of a lost continent won some favorable attention. An archaeologist named Augustus Plongeon (1825–1908) used a similar key to decipher hieroglyphics at one of the first excavations of Mayan sites. He allegedly uncovered astory about two brothers who vied for a queen named Moo (which he connected with Mu). One of the brothers was killed, and the other took power just before a catastrophe struck Mu. Queen Moo fled before the catastrophe. Speculations quickly added that she had reached Egypt, became revered as the goddess Isis, founded Egyptian civilization, and directed the building of the Sphinx.

In the mid-nineteenth century, Charles Darwin’s (1809–1882) theory of evolution, Origin of the Species, was published. Although the theory became widely accepted among scientists, it was also extremely controversial.

One point of contention concerned an animal and layers of sediment found in South Africa, the island of Madagascar, and India—all of which are in the same region but separated by expanses of water. The lemur, a predecessor of monkeys, had the same traits in each locale. According to Darwin’s theory, the animal should have developed some unique traits respective to the different environments. Similarities in sediments in each of the areas also raised questions…

Scientists began to speculate that a land bridge once existed in the Indian Ocean that connected the three areas. English zoologist Phillip L. Schlater proposed the name Lemuria after the lemur for this former land now sunk in the Indian Ocean. The land bridge idea was supported by noted scientists, including German naturalist Heinrich Haeckel (1834–1919) and Alfred Russell Wallace (1823–1913), who had developed a theory of evolution similar to Darwin’s. Seas and continents were thought to be immobile in those days before the theory of continental drift, and no fossils of early humans had yet been found. Haeckel used Lemuria, which had sunk into the sea, to explain the absence of early human fossils. Lemuria became a respected term among educated people in Europe and America.

Thus, the lost continent of Lemuria began with science, but its renown spread and has been sustained through mysticism. Science has since discounted the land bridge and lost continent theories, and evidence of early humans was found during the twentieth century in Africa. James Churchward (1832–1936) was among the first mystics to promote Lemuria as the lost continent of an advanced human race. Beginning in the 1870s, Churchward said Lemuria was a paradise of 64 million people, and that it was destroyed around 10,000 B.C.E. According to Churchward, Lemurians developed homes with transparent roofs, lived to be hundreds of years old, and were capable of telepathy, astral travel, and teleportation. Lemuria, according to Churchward, was about 5,000 miles long and 3,000 miles wide and stretched to the Pacific Ocean, where islands of the present day are former mountain peaks of the lost continent. In the 1880s, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831–1891) formed the Theosophical Society with psychic investigator Henry Steel Olcott. In her book The Secret Doctrine (1888), she claimed to have learned of Lemuria in The Book of Dzyan, which she said was composed in Atlantis and shown to her by survivors of that lost continent. Her source may have been Sanskrit legends that tell of the former continent of Rutas that sank beneath the sea. Lemurians, according to Blavatsky, were the third of seven root races of humankind. They were hermaphrodites with psychic abilities and a third eye. Atlanteans, she stated, were the fourth root race. They evolved from Lemurians after much of Lemuria sank, and they lived on the edge of the continent in the northern Atlantic.

ATLANTIS SANK AROUND 8,000 BCE

Atlantis sank around 8,000 B.C.E., according to Blavatsky, and its inhabitants fled to central Asia. Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925), who founded Anthroposophy, was another proponent of Lemuria. Other mystics have envisioned the Elders of Lemuria, known as the Thirteenth School, who moved to an uninhabited plateau of Central Asia now called Tibetbefore the catastrophe that wiped out their land. They established a library and a school of spiritual adepts known as the Great White Brotherhood. Certain land masses on the planet are supposedly the last remains of Lemuria

LEMURIA

from Pacific islands (Fiji, Hawaii, and Easter Island) to the west coast of the United States. A

According to some Lemurian enthusiasts, in 1972 the ruins of a submerged Lemurian city was found between Maui and Oahu in the Hawaiian island chain and was covered up in a top-secret project by U.S. Naval Intelligence. One of the greatest discoveries in the history of archaeology was made  off of Japan. There, spread over an amazing 311 miles on the ocean floor, are the well-preserved remains of an ancient city. Or at the very least, a number of closely related sites. In the waters around Okinawa and beyond to the small island of Yonaguni, divers located eight separate locations beginning in March 1995. That first sighting was equivocal – a provocative, squared structure, so encrusted with coral that its manmade identity was uncertain. Then, as recently as the summer of 1996, a sports diver accidentally discovered a huge, angular platform about 40 feet below the surface, off the southwestern shore of Okinawa.

The feature’s artificial provenance was beyond question. Widening their search, teams of more divers found another, different monument nearby. Then another, and another. They beheld long streets, grand boulevards, majestic staircases, magnificent archways, enormous blocks of perfectly cut and fitted stone – all harmoniously welded together in a linear architecture unlike anything they had ever seen before.

In the following weeks and months, Japan’s archaeological community joined the feeding-frenzy of discovery.

Trained professionals formed a healthy alliance with the enthusiasts who first made the find. In a progressive spirit of mutual respect an working alliance, academics and amateurs joined forces to set an example of   cooperation for the rest of the world. Their common cause soon bore rich fruit. In september, not far from the shore of the island of Yonaguni, more then 300 airline miles south from Okinawa, they found a gigantic, pyramidal structure in 100 feet of water. In what appeared to be a ceremonial center of broad promenades and flanking pylons, the gargantuan building measures 240 feet long. Exceptionally clear sub-surface clarity, with 100 foot visibility a common factor, allowed for thorough photographic documentation, both still photography and video.

ANCIENT AMERICAN AND CNN BROKE STORY

These images provided the basis of japan’s leading headlines for more than a year. Yet, not a word about the Okinawa discovery reached the US public, until the magazine, “Ancient American” broke the news. Since that scoop, only the CNN network televised a report about Japan’s underwater city. Nothing about it has been mentioned in any of the nation’s other archaeology publications, not even in any of our daily newspapers. Outside of the “Ancient American” and CNN’s single report, the pall of silence covering all the facts about Okinawa’s structures screens them from view more effectively then their location at the bottom of the sea. Why? How can this appalling neglect persist in the face of a discovery of such unparalleled magnitude?

Divers Find World’s Oldest Buildingby Trushar Barot

A STRUCTURE thought to be the world’s oldest building, nearly twice the age of the great pyramids of Egypt, has been discovered. The rectangular stone ziggurat under the sea off the coast of Japan could be the first evidence of a previously unknown Stone Age civilisation, say archeologists.The monument is 600ft wide and 90ft high and has been dated to at least 8000BC. The oldest pyramid in Egypt, the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, was constructed more than 5,000 years later. The structure off Yonaguni, a small island southwest of Okinawa, was first discovered 75ft underwater by scuba divers 10 years ago and locals believed it was a natural phenomenon.

Professor Masaki Kimura, a geologist at Ryukyu University in Okinawa, was the first scientist to investigate the site and has concluded that “The mysterious five-layer structure was man-made. The object has not been manufactured by nature. If that had been the case, one would expect debris from erosion to have collected around the site, but there are no rock fragments there,” he said.

The discovery of what appears to be a road surrounding the building was further evidence that the structure was made by humans, he added. Robert Schoch, professor of geology at Boston University, dived at the site last month. “It basically looks like a series of huge steps, each about a metre high. Essentially, it’s a cliff face like the side of a stepped pyramid. It’s a very interesting structure,” he said. “It’s possible that natural water erosion combined with the process of cracked rocks splitting created such a structure, but I haven’t come across such processes creating a structure as sharp as this.”

Further evidence that the structure is the work of humans came with the discovery of smaller underwater stone mounds nearby. Like the main building, these mini-ziggurats are made of stepped slabs and are about 10m wide and 2m high.Kimura said it was too early to know who built the monument or its purpose. “The structure could be anancient religious shrine, possibly celebrating an ancient deity resembling the god Nirai-Kanai, whom locals say gave happiness to the people of Okinawa from beyond the sea. This could be evidence of a new culture as there are no records of a people intelligent enough to have built such a monument 10,000 years ago,” he said.

“This could only have been done by a people with a high degree of technology, probably coming from the Asian continent, where the oldest civilisations originate. There would have to have been some sort of machinery involved to have created such a huge structure.”

Teruaki Ishii, professor of geology at Tokyo University, said the structure dated back to at least 8000BC when the land on which it was constructed was submerged at the end of the last ice age. “I hope this site is artificial as it would be very exciting. But at this time I feel it is too early to say. I think the structure could be natural, but part of it may have been made,” he said.

The first signs of civilization in Japan are traced to the Neolithic period around 9000BC. The people at this time lived as hunters and food- gatherers. There is nothing in the archeological record to suggest the presence of a culture advanced enough to have built a structure like the ziggurat. British archeologists are, however, cautiously enthusiastic about the discovery which will be featured this summer in a Channel 4 documentary. Jim Mower, an archeologist at University College London, said: “If it is confirmed that the site is as old as 10,000 years and is man-made, then this is going to change an awful lot of the previous thinking on southeast Asian history. It would put the people who made the monument on a par with the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley.”

ATLANTIS: A key factor to know about is that Lemuria and Atlantis had existed at the same time in history! Lemuria had 13 colonies and it was the Lemurians that decided that Atlantis would be a chosen colony for the creation and genesis of a new civilisation, genetic modification and creation of a new form of being. So when looking at the memories of Lemuria and Atlantis, they are all in the consciousness of one, there are no boundaries and therefore no distinguished difference between the two times. Atlantis was to be the first colony to commence the Mystery Schools where the ancient Lemurian knowledge would be taught. The Lemurians also knew that Atlantis was also to be the place where EGO was to be brought in and experienced. Those of Lemuria knew that eventually EGO would override and be the downfall of Atlantis and then Egypt.

LEMURIA: The Legend of Lemuria is one of an ancient lost civilization which existed prior to and during the time of Atlantis. Physically, it is believed that it existed largely in the Southern Pacific, between North America and Asia/Australia. Lemuria is also sometimes referred to as Mu, or the Motherland (of Mu). At its peak of its civilization, the Lemurian people were both highly evolved and very spiritual. While concrete physical evidence of this ancient continent may be difficult to find, many people “know” that they have a strong connection to Lemuria.

Approximately 14,000 years ago, the culture known as Lemuria was thriving. (Prior to 2000 years ago, data and time recordings were not taken – so all times are approximate). There were also other cultures on Earth, such as Atlantis, which were thriving as well. The holy people or the prophets of the time began to be realise that something was changing. They began receiving information that the Earth was going to go through a very dramatic shift. The shift that they were referring to was what you call the Great Flood. Also known as the destruction of Atlantis.

SNAKEPEOPLE & DRAGONS
The Snake People are very, very ancient. They existed approximately 5,000 to 6,000 years ago. They were descendants of the Lemurians, in particular, descendants of the original record-keepers of Lemuria. The snake, in terms of symbology, has always been used on Earth to mean wisdom and healing, so you find many cultures around Earth in which the snake, as a symbol, plays a very important role. In Eastern culture it is representative of Kundalini and in the Western culture the Lemurian snake/serpent was representative of the Medical Cadeuses.

Cadeuses Medical Symbol

The Cadeuses symbol is ancient and has been used many life times. It has been used in the Medical field, politics, government, shamanic healing, and Metaphysical healing and in the ancient writings of the Bible, Book of Enoch and more. The Staff located in the middle represents an antenna to the I AM GOD/ABSOLUTE consciousness. The complete ball in the middle is the birth of the whole universe through sacred sphere. It is the sacred symbol of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. The two serpents/snakes represent the integration of all dualities in to one – that be-ing the ONENESS, truth, LOVE. They are the combining together such as physical + metaphysical, environment inside and outside. Snakes can correspond to healing, change and awakenings via Kundalini energy. They are related to the water element which is about E-Motions. They are keepers of KNOWLEDGE. Hence why in past government, religion and positions of power the staff has been seen as the person of the STICK has the knowledge. In Egyptian days the snake/serpent was seen as inner sight and control of the universe. Overall, it is understood as the concepts of rebirth, resurrection, initiation and wisdom. In summary the Cadeuses means DIVINE KNOWLEDGE of sacred healing. This healing is about connecting to GOD and is from Lemuria.

All of this knowledge from Lemuria is older than the Mayan Calendar consciousness. Now today, you were taken to a place called Montezuma’s Well. The myth is that it’s one of the emergence points of the ancient Lemurian/Native American. Sedona is one of the places that were first inhabited by the people who were keeping the records from Lemuria. After the ancient and lost civilisation of emerged from underground, the civilization lived mostly high in the cliffs. At that time Sedona was a chain of islands, so the Lemurians had to live on higher ground. This original group from Lemuria that came from beneath the Earth lived here and, of course, procreated, so there were many generations here. This was one of many places. Sedona was chosen as an emergence point because of all the quartz crystal in the area. Quartz crystal can hold information and knowledge, which is exactly what they did with the ancient knowledge from Lemuria about the code of creation and keys of ascension to God. The ancients of the lost civilisation of Lemuria, known as the Snake People, were committed to programming that Lemurian knowledge into the rocks. This is why so many people are now drawn to Sedona in the present day.

These snake people are referred to all over the world from Metaphysical teachings such as Snake people in the Hopi tribe, Naga – Maya in India, the Yucalan in Mayan, and Japan. One of the forms of beings we had in Lemuria was a reptile like being. The reptile was androgynous and able to morph in to any shape or desire it wished. Part of this now replicated through the teachings of dragons. The dragon energy is from Lemuria and has been carried down through the medieval days, eastern culture and Viking days. The dragon energy and dragons are teachers of Unconditional Love. Many of the modern day AQUA children will talk about the dragons and see them flying. However to the human eye they are invisible as their underbelly which we see in the sky is a mirror which reflects the 3rd dimension reality to those that are not awakened to the 5th dimension of other realities. Certain modern day Healers are able to channel this amazing Dragon energy and bring with it the intensity of love from Lemuria. In the recent Harry Potter series, the character Harry Potter speaks ‘parsel tongue’ or snake language …. Certain Healers are able to do this too and speak the language of light which sounds very similar to ‘parsel tongue’. The dragon energy is one of power and knowledge from but over the years has been distorted to represent ‘evil’. The dragon realm of Lemuria is also about integration of all dualities in to the ONENESS consciousness.

KAHUNA – HUNA

The Kahuna are the shamans/healers of Hawai’i, again originally from the Lemuria and Pleiades. They were the guardians of Huna, the “profound inner knowledge”, from Lemuria. In ancient Hawai’i, the Kahuna healed and taught in the spirit and vibration of ‘Aloha’. This vibration of spirit manifesting through love. The purpose behind the ‘Kahuna’ teachings was/is the revelation of truth within each individual. In other words self realizations through Kundalini awakenings to God and the ABSOLUTE. The wisdom and knowledge of the Kahuna is very ancient, coming directly from the ancient land of Lemuria. To gain knowledge, the beings of Lemuria turned inward to connect with the Divine Cosmic Mind or UM (Universal Mind) through meditation and concentration. This has also been discussed in the Mayan Calendar and Prophecies. The wise ones had great faith and trust in the Cosmic Mind and in themselves as manifestations of the one Cosmic Mind. They were able to directly tap into it as “the source”, and GOD. They developed the art of mental telepathy and were able to sense other dimensions with great ease. In Lemuria the teachings were pure, balanced, and honored. The teachings and principles of Huna are still taught today, especially with Ka Huna massage being a direct result. You will notice in the wording ’KAHuna’ is similar to ‘Mer KA Ba’ which both are about transcending the body to a higher frequency or light body.

Having a look at the principles of Huna, they are similar to the Koran, Bible, Book of Enoch and Kabbalah. Again these are directly from the source of Lemuria. The teachings from Lemuria were from GOD about God and how to connect back to God. The symbol of KA Huna is similar to that of the Alchemy symbol used in ancient Egyptian and Medieval days as well as now.

SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF HUNA

IKE – The world is what you think it is (BE AWARE)

KALA -There are no limits, everything is possible (BE FREE)

MAKIA -Energy flows where attention goes (BE FOCUSED)

MANAWA -Now is the moment of power (BE HERE)

ALOHA -To love is to be happy with (BE HAPPY)

MANA -All power comes from within (BE CONFIDENT)

PONO -Effectiveness is the measure of truth (BE POSITIVE)

THE PYRAMID AND ALCHEMY LINKED TO LEMURIA

Egypt, Atlantis, Mayan and Lemuria and well known for the pyramid shaped buildings. These were built specifically as a means of transport and vortexes and linked to Sacred Geometry Merkaba (taught in the Millennium Modality – Medical Intuition). The pyramid shape representative many things but one was the steps of evolution and the stepping up to UM or Universal Mind, otherwise known as the cosmic mind. It was with the guidance of Beings from other galaxies including Lemuria, which these buildings were in the shape of a triangle/pyramid. The pyramid is a triangle representing truth, love and wisdom.

In alchemy and Lemuria, the truth is where you’re at, current time or current reality. Love is where you want to be or your vision. The wisdom refers to the quality you gain when you consciously focus on two points – this case, focusing on the truth and love will help you gain your reality now. In understanding what true LOVE is you can occupy a state of mind called CREATOR CONSCIOUSNESS. No matter what is taught, within each soul is a CREATOR CONSCIOUSNESS from Lemuria, where we know what we think we create. The main key is to know where are you now … are you in a state of love or fear? And once you discern that, you will create what you focus on. Know where you want to be – then focus on that and know that it will come to fruition when there is no expectation. Wisdom, according to Lemuria and beyond is the manifestation of your truth and love.

In Lemurian and now, Alchemists have always known that knowing half the truth is much more dangerous than not knowing it all. “The half wise will be dashed against the rocks by reason of their own folly.” In other words, those that are UNCONSCIOUS will hurt themselves as they do not recall they create their own world. This also means that if we do not fully embrace ourselves as the full consciousness of co creators, and the Lemurian consciousness of I AM ABSOLUTE, they will live in a victim world. Not ones to mince their words, the Alchemists and ancients from Lemuria were very direct and shared the truth so as the other soul would have an awakening to become conscious of what they create. The Alchemists form Lemuria knew the deeper secrets of manifestation – they knew the ‘whole’ truth which is life is an illusion but if your perception ad vision are with GOD/Millennium, you will always create out of love your hearts desires.

Alchemists believe that when you have the truth and love together, then you shall have wisdom, as mentioned before. The love from Lemuria is LOVE OF SELF which is not really understood here on Earth, to mean that “I AM GOD and therefore I am ABSOLUTE, I AM LOVE, I AM LOVING, I AM LOVED and I AM LOVABLE.” In Atlantis we had the High Priestess to teach this and in Lemuria we had Elders or sometimes referred to as the Fathers to teach this. In this life time they are called GOLDEN ONES. The whole role of the Golden Ones is to self realize and recall they are GOD and using alchemy to change the perception of people’ beliefs about themselves understanding we are all co creators of our own world.
Alchemy is the ability to convert and exchange one form for another or correctly said is the ability to change matter to another form through the use of human consciousness. In Lemuria we did this with the transference of energy from fear to love. This is part of the next evolutionary step of mankind now according to the Mayan calendar. In ancient science, both in Atlantis and Lemuria, the ALCHEMY was to transfer and transform a civilization from being unconscious to conscious meaning being aware that we create our own world. The word Alchemy is taken from the word CHEM which is an ancient name for wisdom. Today the Chem-ist or Chemist supposedly has wisdom about the transformation s/he makes when making prescriptions ….. Do they really have the wisdom?

God, Alchemy, Love, Integration from Lemuria

In summary, Lemuria was/is about transference and transformation of the human soul from fear to love, ending of all dualities to be whole and complete again as once created and the awakening to self realization to remember we are GOD and create whatever we want. The truth is love and all else is an illusion. (This has been taught over and over in many books, teachings and ancients’ scripts.) Now is the time of this consciousness

The earliest merkabah speculations were exegetical expositions of the prophetic visions of God in the heavens, and the divine retinue of angels, hosts, and heavenly creatures surrounding God. The earliest evidence suggests that merkabah homiletics did not give rise to ascent experiences – as one rabbinic sage states: “Many have expounded upon the merkabah without ever seeing it” (Tosefta’ Megillah 3[4]:28).

The Talmudic interdictions concerning merkabah speculation are numerous and widely held. Discussions concerning the merkabah were limited to only the most worthy sages, and admonitory legends are preserved about the dangers of overzealous speculation concerning the merkabah. The sages Rabbi Yochanan Ben Zakkai (d. ca. 80 CE) and later, Rabbi Akiva (d. 135) were deeply involved in merkabah speculation. Rabbi Akiva and his contemporary Rabbi Ishmael ben Elisha are most often the protagonists of later merkabah ascent literature.

Beyond the rabbinic community, Jewish apocalyptists also engaged in visionary speculations concerning the divine realm and the divine creatures which are remarkably similar to the rabbinic material. A small number of texts unearthed at Qumran indicate that the Dead Sea community also engaged in merkabah speculation. Recently uncovered Jewish mystical texts also evidence a deep affinity with the rabbinic merkabah homilies. Recently, considerable scholarly attention has been paid to the use of merkabah themes in early Jewish-Christian circles.

The merkabah homilies eventually consisted of detailed descriptions of multiple layered heavens (usually seven in number), often guarded over by angels, and encircled by flames and lightning. The highest heaven contains seven palaces (hekhalot), and in the innermost palace resides a supreme divine image (God’s Glory or an angelic image) seated on a throne, surrounded by awesome hosts who sing God’s praise.

When these images were combined with an actual mystical experiential motif of individual ascent (paradoxically called “descent” in most texts) and union is not precisely known. By inference, contemporary historians of Jewish mysticism usually date this development to the third century CE. Again, there is a significant dispute amongst historians over whether these ascent and unitive themes were the result of some “foreign,” usually Gnostic, influence, or a natural progression of religious dynamics within rabbinic Judaism.

The bodies of the “Chayot” are like that of a human being, but each of them had four faces, corresponding to the four directions the chariot can go (north, east south and west). The faces are that of a man, a lion, an ox (later changed to a child or cherub) and an eagle. Since there are four angels and each has four faces, there are a total of 16 faces. Each Chayot angel also has four wings.

Two of these wings spread across the length of the chariot and connected with the wings of the angel on the other side.

This created a sort of ‘box’ of wings that formed the perimeter of the chariot. With the remaining two wings, each angel covered its own body.

Below, but not attached to the feet of the “Chayot” angels are other angels that are shaped like wheels. These wheel angels, which are described as “a wheel inside of a wheel”, are called “Ophannim” – wheels, cycles or ways).

These wheels are not directly under the chariot, but are nearby and along its perimeter much like the wheels of a car. The angel with the face of the man is always on the east side and looks up at the “Likeness of a Man” that drives the chariot. The “Likeness of a Man” sits on a throne made of saphire.

The Bible later makes mention of a third type of angel found in the Merkaba called “Seraphim” (lit. burning) angels. These angels appear like flashes of fire continuously ascending and decending.

These “Seraphim” angels functioned somewhat like pistons in that they powered the movement of the chariot. In the hierarchy of these angels, “Seraphim” are the highest, that is, closest to God, followed by the “Chayot”, which are followed by the “Ophannim”.

The chariot is in a constant state of motion, and the energy behind this movement runs according to this heirarchy. The movement of the “Ofanim” is controlled by the “Chayot” while the movement of the “Chayot” is controlled by the “Serafim”. The movement of all the angels of the chariot are controlled by the “Likeness of a Man” on the Throne.

The four Chayot angels represent the basic archetypes that God used to create the current nature of the world. Ofannim, which means ways, are the ways these archetypes combine to create actual entities that exist in the world. For instance, in the basic elements of the world, the lion represents fire, the ox earth, the eagle wind, and the man water.

However, in practice, everything in the world is some combination of all four, and the particular combination of each element that exist in each thing are its particular Ofannim or ways. In another example, the four Chayot represent spring, summer, winter and fall. These four types of weather are the archetypal forms. The Ofannim would be the combination of weather that exists on a particular day, which may be a winter-like day within the summer or a summer like day within the winter or whatever.

The Man on the throne represents God, who is controlling everything that goes on in the world, and how all of the archetypes He set up should interact.

The Man on the throne, however, can only drive when the four angels connect their wings.

This means that God will not be revealed to us by us looking at all four elements (for instance) as separate and independent entities. However, when one looks at the way that earth, wind, fire and water (for instance) which all oppose each other are able to work together and coexist in complete harmony in the world, this shows that there is really a higher power (God) telling these elements how to act.

This very lesson carries over to explain how the four basic groups of animals and the four basic archetypal philosophies and personalities reveal a higher, godly source when one is able to read between the lines and see how these opposing forces can and do interact in harmony. A person should strive to be like a Merkaba, that is to say, he should realize all the different qualities, talents and inclinations he has (his angels).

They may seem to contradict, but when one directs his life to a higher goal such as doing God’s will (the man on the chair driving the chariot) he will see how they all can work together and even complement eachother.

Ultimately, we should strive to realize how all of the forces in the world, though they may seem to conflict can unite when one knows how to use them all to fulfill a higher purpose, namely to serve God.

They are: 1) Hekhalot Zutartey (“The Lesser Palaces”), which details an ascent of Rabbi Akiva; 2) Hekhalot Rabbati (“The Greater Palaces”), which details an ascent of Rabbi Ishmael; 3) Ma`aseh Merkabah (“Account of the Chariot”), a collection of hymns recited by the “descenders” and heard during their ascent; and 4) Sepher Hekhalot (“Book of Palaces,” also known as 3 Enoch), which recounts an ascent and divine transformation of the biblical figure Enoch into the archanel Metatron, as related by Rabbi Ishmael.

A fifth work provides a detailed description of the Creator as seen by the “descenders” at the climax of their ascent.

This work, preserved in various forms, is called Shi`ur Qomah (“Measurement of the Body“), and is rooted in a mystical exegesis of the Song of Songs, a book reputedly venerated by Rabbi Akiva.

The literal message of the work was repulsive to those who maintained God’s incorporeality; Maimonides (d. 1204) wrote that the book should be erased and all mention of its existence deleted.While throughout the era of merkabah mysticism the problem of creation was not of paramount importance, the treatise Sefer Yetzirah (“Book of Creation”) represents an attempt at cosmogony from within a merkabah milieu.

This text was probably composed during the seventh century CE, and evidences influence of Neoplatonism, Pythagoreanism, and Stoicism.

It features a linguistic theory of creation in which God creates the universe by combining the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, along with emanations represented by the ten numerals, or sefirot.
