Daniel Posted August 9 (edited) 8 hours ago, snowymountains said: Does any scripture cite or imply that Nachash may pretend to be Metatron, at least during first contact? Yes. Implied.. Nachash and Moshiach are equivalent gematria. 8 hours ago, snowymountains said: Also how does Shechinah differ from Metatron, other than the direction of the chariot. Think of it like the pony express? Shechina picks up the passengers and delivers any parcels ( blessings ) on earth from the HQ ( God ) that were received while the chariot is in heaven. Shechina is the feminine principle. Shechina is the will of God in the form of: welcoming, delivers blessings, miracles, healing, etc. Metatron is the will of God in the form of a masculine principle. Metatron delivers the passengers to the "foot stool of God" where they can petition the All-Mighty or plea their case before the divine authority. Metatron also receives directives of divine will from the God-head and distributes the orders ( law ) to the hosts. If those directives are blessings, healings, prophecy, miracles etc, Metatron delivers them, but not as Metatron. It's Shechina. Not because it's two different angels. That's just how it naturally appears when it is executing those tasks from the earth bound perspective. That's what the back side of the chariot "looks" like. But that's the only side that can be "seen" from earth. Imagine a giant VW mini van? Huge. The size of North America? The back half of it, like a UFO, is poking out of a cloud in the sky? From the ground, looking up, it looks like VW minivan. However, on the other side of the cloud, up above it? Beyond the range of vision of an individual on the ground? Guess what? It's a Ford F150. It's like that. The back half is Shechina. The front half is Metatron. No one sees Metatron from earth. They only see Shechina because that's the aspect which is operating in this realm. The other major distinction involves a somewhat bizarre concept known as the Ikahr. Pronounced Ee-car. Edited August 9 by Daniel 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Posted August 9 (edited) 13 hours ago, snowymountains said: So is the welcoming side appearing to those who meet him and the other side/Shechinah appears to those who reject contact with him/move away from him? No. Nothing like that. It's a chariot. A train car on a circular track. If you miss the train ( or reject it ) just catch the next one. It's on a looping schedule. 13 hours ago, snowymountains said: How does Nachash relate to Metatron-and-Shechinah ? See below. 13 hours ago, snowymountains said: I can only guess on the opposite of a chariot good guess That's the relationship between Nachash and Metatron-and-Shechinah. Nachash is the opposite of Metatron-and-Shechinah. Nachash is the opposite of The, capital T, chariot. 13 hours ago, snowymountains said: not travelling/journeying, remaining grounded on Earth. Bingo. The opposite of a chariot is stuck or.... going nowhere fast. Riding around in circles, or chaotic nonsense, or running out of gas at random intervals, while simultaneously making little bits of progress here and there in order to evade any desire to get off the train, look at a map or ask for directions from the locals. That's Nachash, a trickster, con artist , snake-oil-salesperson. However sometimes Nachash is useful. It's takes a their to catch a thief. The best example is probably Robin Hood. Many From that valence, though , it's not Nachash, it's Dan ( pronounced dahn, like dahn-tien ). Edited August 9 by Daniel 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Posted August 9 (edited) 9 hours ago, snowymountains said: Does any scripture cite or imply that Nachash may pretend to be Metatron, at least during first contact? Ah. Remember what I mentioned about the complimentary inverse? It will also resonate with the traveler if they are inclined to the direct correspondence? Remember how I mentioned that the fault condition happens often? I think this is what you're observing. There's a one to many relationship between a direct correspondence to a divinity and the inverse complimentary divinity ( "spirit" ). Think of it this way? You're walking on a street headed towards your home. When you get to your house, how many other homes did you pass along the way? There are many other homes in relation to the one house that's yours. That's the one-to-many relationship. The dark trickster is everywhere, in everything, to a degree. It's a fundamental motivating influence, arguably one of the most virile. Because of this, an individual is much more likely, by many orders of magnitude, to encounter many various and repeating forms of tricksters before they encounter a warrior-healer to emulate.

snowymountains Posted August 9 (edited) Thanks @Daniel, will read more thoroughly when I have proper access to internet. Two questions, One, could it be ( in that is that implicit in scripture?) that it is men who see the female form and women would see the male form? Two, I'm not the one who met the trickster, I don't believe one needs to meet them, at least this particular trickster. In my case it was a "direct" connection to warrior-healer archetype, when I was ready for it at least and it sort of just happened, wasn't trying to connect to anything. "My" warrior-healer is not from an abrahamic tradition, but some time before that happened I did very politely send away, another trickster, Lilith ( Cybele to be more precise) in a dream and was wondering where did that come from and eas surprised that what I saw was depicted in ancient art. For me the Lilith encounter was followed by zero synchronicities, it was just a very polite in-dream "I'm not interested, thanks but no". It somehow feels like sending away the trickster though was a prerequisite for the warrior-healer to appear some time later on. Someone else though, a long time ago, did "meet" that trickster who was introduced to them as Metatron ( the said person didn't even know what/who Metatron is, Metatron revealed the name ). That person also has zero psychotic incidents ( including the "meeting" ), that I can confirm 100% and I take their word at face value. Someone can get "rid off" the trickster but affirming no contact is welcome combined with grounding to 5 senses. It took them though 30-40 days of very very unpleasant synchronicities for that particular trickster to "leave" with that recipe. My question is spiritually/from scripture, what is the "recipe" of dealing with the trickster, after they've been introduced as Metatron? That's why I've got a stickie for Metatron btw, to see what other ways there are to send the trickster-masquarading-as-metatron away, as I found that incident intriguing ( affirmations plus grounding worked great for that person, it took a some time though) Edited August 9 by snowymountains Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Posted August 9 7 hours ago, snowymountains said: One, could it be ( in that is that implicit in scripture?) that it is men who see the female form and women would see the male form? No. King David spoke to Him. Hannah spoke to Him. Spoke, but didn't see. Because He is distant. The one with the clearest vision, so far, is Moses who saw the chariot carrying "Glory in the feminine form". Moses got the closest to it, by going up on the mountain. But he was still earth-bound. That's why he's the best example in regard to how earth-bound individuals will encounter the chariot ( Metatron-and-Shechina, in my culture it is abbreviated Z"A, we say it like this: "The Zah" or mor formally the "mercavah" ) 7 hours ago, snowymountains said: Two, I'm not the one who met the trickster, I don't believe one needs to meet them, at least this particular trickster.

Got it. ~thumbs-up~ I don't see a question here, but, it sounds like you're asking about the necessity for sending away the trickster? Sure. If they're literally flip-sides of the same coin, one would need to flip the coin over to see the other side. All angels and demons are like this. They're conjoined twins. But not at all identical, they're nested inverses. Like a Russian doll? The wooden ones? That come in a set? Each one nesting in the next? If you take one of those dolls? The outer dimension is a conjoined twin of its inner dimension. Each and every angel has a conjoined twin, it's complimentary inverse which is commonly referred to as a demon. Calling an angel is calling a demon and vice versa. Seeking a warrior-healer will also bring it's inverse. Calling for Eve will also bring Lillith, etc... And, for the reasons I wrote about earlier, when a person is seeing Eve, their odds of encountering Lilith increase dramatically. 7 hours ago, snowymountains said: Someone else though, a long time ago, did "meet" that trickster who was introduced to them as Metatron ( the said person didn't even know what/who Metatron is, Metatron revealed the name ). That person also has zero psychotic incidents ( including the "meeting" ), that I can confirm 100% and I take their word at face value. I call that one: Loki. From the norse pantheon. There's a Hebrew equivalent, but "Loki" captures it for me. 7 hours ago, snowymountains said: My question is spiritually/from scripture, what is the "recipe" of dealing with the trickster, after they've been introduced as Metatron? Good question. The only way to deal with Loki is to ignore him. You're basically using his own tools against him. In Hebrew scripture, Loki is known as the twin-serpent "Chaos-and-Void". "Void" is self-defeating. That's how to deal with Loki. 7 hours ago, snowymountains said: That's why I've got a stickie for Metatron btw, to see what other ways there are to send the trickster-masquarading-as-metatron away, as I found that incident intriguing ( affirmations plus grounding worked great for that person, it took a some time though) ~nods~ Whatever works, bro.

Daniel Posted August 9 (edited) On 8/8/2024 at 6:30 AM, snowymountains said: 🙏👍 I was wrong. Again. Sorry. Gee whiz. I played around with the pronunciation of Y'hoshua Ben Nuhn. I am so sorry. It is not y'HOshoe-uh. The final vowel is wrong. y'HOshu-ah, not "-uh", it's "ah" it's called a patach. The difference is minor, but important. The jaw is lower and relaxed for "-ah". It is contrasted with "-eh" "-uh" and "-aw". Sorry. All this talk of masculine and feminine made me realize the mistake. y + glottal stop + HO + shoo + ah "HO" is masculine and distant. "ah" is feminine and proximal. both are needed. "eh" and "uh" are masculine, not feminine, that's a significant difference in the pronunciation of the true name.

This book is part of another project, I'm trying to figure how much of Tibetan practices are of Shamanic origin, but let's leave that for another thread 🧵 ( fyi I haven't concluded in either way being/not-being of shamanic origin ) Have you read ‘Civilized Shamans’ by Samuel? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And, for the reasons I wrote about earlier, when a person is seeing Eve, their odds of encountering Lilith increase dramatically. I see the syzygies in a somewhat different way. One there's usually a syzygy of archetypes for a symbol ( e.g. a snake can represent either a corruptor or knowledge ). Two there is a progression of archetypes, so in that sense one archetype may be "bound" to another one, but each one of us has their unique progression so syzygies may not be universal in that for different persons maybe syzygies are different. So eg politely avoiding Lilith may be succeeded by different archetypes for different people. 6 hours ago, Daniel said: I call that one: Loki. From the norse pantheon.

None. It's not written anywhere. It's literally prohibited to write about it in the Talmud. The only written works I'm aware of are total rubbish.

I don't know. My struggle with this is, I cannot imagine there being any rigid progression that doesn't have beaucoup outliers and exceptions. And if that's the case, I find very little use in adopting anyone else's individualization progression for myself or others. On the other hand, people who are raised in the same cultural context, who have weathered the same "storms", perhaps not in magnitude, but in general form? Yes, maybe, that collective group would all generally benefit from a similar progression. Again, I don't know. It seems to me it's better to set aside any and all preconceived notions in these matters other than remaining focused on the desired outcome. On 8/9/2024 at 2:44 PM, snowymountains said: So eg politely avoiding Lilith may be succeeded by different archetypes for different people. To be complete?... And for some people?

And if that's the case, I find very little use in adopting anyone else's individualization progression for myself or others. I'd go as far as to say there's no progression that fits all people. Everyone's progression is highly individualised. 7 hours ago, Daniel said: To be complete?... And for some people? Lilith is exactly what's needed for that individual in that place and time. I hope you agree. For some yes, for some not. Again, it's highly individualised, depends on the dream. For some Lilith's archetype may be exactly what's needed to be integrated, depends on how they relate to women and what perception they have of their partner too. In my case Lilith was a luring to go off-track ( external interpretation of the dream ) and staying in-track instead ( which I did unconsciously/in-dream) is what unlocked at a much later time the warrior-healer archetype. It all depends on context, can't make a generic Lilith is good/bad comment. 7 hours ago, Daniel said: It's best known in ( I think? ) the akkadian dialect: Leviathan.

For men too, if they have trouble accepting a woman's wilder side. It comes down to whether the internal/symbolic interpretation of the dream or the external interpretation is the one conveying the strongest message. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
