 Chapter 4:          In the Labyrinth of our Psyche
 

 

The word "psyche" comes from the Greek word for Soul - "Psyche".

We will treat the psyche as "the Secret Realm" of our feelings, thoughts and emotions into which our searching Spirit must descend in order to discover and realize the innermost essence of our Soul. The ruler of this secret realm is the Ego, which zealously shields its achievements. In order to realize the potential of our Self, we need to persuade the Ego to release the light of our Soul. For this purpose we need to arrange our thoughts, feelings and emotions stored in the Subconscious so as to built a ladder to a higher level of Consciousness so that the Spirit can descend to enlighten the Mind of our Ego. This is the Fourth Dimension of the manifestation of the Self - the Trinity - the union of Spirit with Soul through the Cordiality of our Ego. (p.13,17,19,102,146)

Human history has always been "guided" by ancient myths, legends and folk tales about hidden treasures and adventures in search of them. A number of archaeological digs exploring ancient civilizations have found intricately constructed labyrinths in different parts of the world, the purpose and application of which is still a mystery to science. But what could actually be behind these mysterious labyrinths?

Curiosity and doubt are inherent features of the seeking Ego. It is they who lead human civilization to development and improvement, but doubt can be our "stumbling block." Just as it can motivate us to explore, prove, and discover, doubt can put us in a vicious circle of destructive emotions. When we doubt ourselves, we easily fall prey to the fears, passions, delusions, ambitions and temptations that divert us from the path to our personal Self. (p.15,17,33,34,148)

The tendency of human nature to doubt under the influence of negative emotions is expressively represented by the ancient Greek myth of "Orpheus and Eurydice". Orpheus (the seeking Ego) descends into the underworld - the Secret Realm - to regain his Eurydice - the Light of his Soul. Led by Hermes, (symbol of intuition p. 114-115,175), Orpheus is about to save Eurydice, provided if he does not turn back. Shortly before he succeeds, his fears, arising from memories of lost happiness, tempt him to doubt, and he turns to make sure Eurydice is following him. Thus Orpheus loses his will, but also his Eurydice - his faith - the most valuable wealth of the Soul. (p. 153)

 

Historically, it is the loss of faith that marks the beginning of the decline of Thracian civilization, whose symbol-belief is the "high priest of lost knowledge" - Orpheus.

The ancient Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur is the only instruction as to the purpose of the mysterious Labyrinths that we have been given so far. Life is the Labyrinth into which we descend to study, develop and realize our personal potential. Each lesson (p. 13) we must learn is taught to us on a nine-year cycle. Every nine years Life tests our psychological foundations in the material, emotional (Soul), spiritual, cordial, intuitive, mental and conscious areas. Depending on how far we have learned and applied the Lessons of Life, at the end of the cycle we will experience the trials as successes, sufferings or difficulties in the seven spheres of our manifestation. In the myth, these tests are represented as seven girls (the talents of the Yin-potential of the seven forces) and seven young men (the Yang-energy forces required to realize the seven talents) who are sacrificed to the inhabitant of the labyrinth every nine years. “The inhabitant” is our Ego in the face of the Minotaur - a symbol of the primary passion for life. In order not to “eat the life” anymore, the Ego must be defeated by our Will (Theseus), which is guided by the Good Sense (the oracle in Delphi), the Love (Aphrodite) and the Intuition (Ariadne) - the four forces of the stable psyche.

If we look at the human brain, we will find that the brain folds not only form the two halves that manage thought and action (Yin and Yang), but also shaping a kind of labyrinth in which our potential lies.

When we apply our will through the primacy of the Ego, we unconsciously let it build barriers of fears, passions, prejudices and delusions on the way to desired gains and lock our potential and talents in the dark labyrinth of emotional cyclicity. But when we let our Mind be guided by the primary power of the Spirit, we courageously open our Consciousness to the next level on the spiral of the mastery and realization of the Seven powers. In this struggle for supremacy between Spirit and Ego arises the duality of our being, which devides the reality into heaven and hell -   ruled by God and Satan.

When we deviate from the path to ourselves, Life sends us trials to awaken our Heart and Intuition and lead us out of the labyrinth of our personal delusion. The essence of our Ego manifests itself in our ability to give and receive, but also in our tendency to take and hold. Unless property is given or withdrawn from the Ego, we cannot know for sure what its nature is. The question is: who are you when you have power over hell and who are you when heaven is entrusted to you: a robber, a judge, a forgiver, or a guardian? Our ability to dismiss the negative manifestations of our Ego from their duties determines our resilience and values, the degree of the Ego's constructive or destructive role in our lives. Our ability to recognize and follow Ariadne's threads can lead us out of the Labyrinth of the Ego.

"To pray Hades for Eurydice", i.e., to convince the Ego to free our Soul from suffering, we must give it with all our love. But it depends on the power of our belief and the freedom of mind whether we will be able to unlock the Heart power and give Light on the way back, and whether our Intuition wakes up to find the way out of the labyrinth. (p.36,39,99,111,117,123,133,137,146-155,192)

The nine years that lead to the entrance or exit of the labyrinth are the nine tests for the "threefold" Self, who seeks the treasures of life in the three spheres of Existence and the three levels of Consciousness. (p. 14,106,191, 197)

The Book of Alchemy of Health

 

The Art of Living in Apogee

 

The art of being yourself

 

The Book, that you are about to leaf through, came in reply to my seven years of searching and studying the causes and treatments of cancer. This questioning of mine began when I discovered, to my surprise and that of the treating doctors, that most of the people with cancer with whom I had to communicate for one reason or another began to improve themselves, even some of them soon after a single phone conversation.  

This Guideline was compiled in exactly one month, as if under Someone's Guidance from above, what did not leave me in peace until I finished the book. This happened to me exactly a year prior the global threat called “Corona virus” to sneak around the globe and conquer the World. Today has come the time that forces every one of us to urgently apply hygiene on our thoughts, consciousness, feelings and attitude towards ourselves and others, as to save our own health, life and our loved ones. No one is born immunized against the provocations of life, but thanks to them we create our immunity and its quality is a personal responsibility. If we accept a lie today as the truth just because it takes over our heads, without experiencing it with heart, mind and consciousness, then our own understanding of the truth itself will perceive it as a lie tomorrow. Life can forgive us everything, but the rejected truth is irreconcilable and keeps coming back to open our eyes, until we learn to See. 

 This Book of Health contains an up-to-date practical interpretation, a readable and comprehensive "translation of the lost meaning” of some of the often quoted ancient texts, such as: as one of the most popular ancient Greek myths and legends, some basic principles of Creation and Life on Earth, laid down in the Bible and in the Hermetic tablets, the philosophy and healing techniques of ancient Chinese medicine - the same applied in ancient Egypt and in India, but also by the ancient Thracian high priest of the doctrine of immortality and healer Zalmoxis, who's concept “Heal the Soul and body will heal itself” was followed by the founders of Modern Medical Science - Hippocrates, Aristotle, Avicenna. The original text of the book came in Bulgarian language but its further simultaneous translation in English and German gives us more comprehensible reading of the Hidden Knowledge. This Manual, compiled in the form of an unique "colorful primer" containing an abundance of formulations of the substances of Life, will give us the answers to many worldly, universal, everyday and, at first glance, ordinary questions, which are worrying or exciting us often. It will reveal to us how wе cause and lock the destructive energies inside ourselves, activating disease processes, or how we release them in the world, causing even climate change and natural disasters.  

The Handbook will help us unlock the stagnation of the vital power in our life and in one way or another free our Ego and our being from prejudices, fears, delusions, limitations and illnesses. Until we increase the purity and vibrations of our consciousness, in order to properly perceive the energies and Love that the Supreme Mind sends us, we will have to live "under quarantine" and should stay with the “little hope” that the principle "every bad is coming for good" will order and heal our lives. 

 This Guide presents in a modern way the main messages of the ancient astrological knowledge of the Zodiac, as to reveal the Personal Mission to each of us and the Cosmic responsibilities that we carry at every moment of our Earthly existence.

This guidance will lead us to the search for the Philosopher's Stone, which transforms iron into gold, bestows strength, abundance and immortality, and cures every disease. The Secrets of Alchemy**** will activate the miraculous transformation of Your Self .

Notes on the concepts introduced on the cover

* Apogee is a term in geographical science that astronomy refers to the farthest gravitational point of a celestial body — usually the moon, a planet, or a satellite orbiting its sun or other gravitating planet. For example, when the Earth is furthest from the Sun, it is in its Apichelium relative to it. This event occurs shortly after the days of the solstice, when from the point of view of the earth's inhabitants the sun is highest in the sky at noon. Then, we often say that "the Sun is at its Apogee," because we know that the moment has come when it will begin to descend over the horizon, signaling that "Summer is beginning to seek its Autumn."

For the purposes of our research we will use the term "Apogee" in the sense of the peak of personal life and creative forces, life achievements and the degree of realized aspirations. Literally, the term means "farthest from Earth." And in the sense of the Handbook - the state in which earthly and everyday worries would not obscure our consciousness, mood, dreams and successes, because we already have solutions to the problems and have enough air “to dive into the sea of ​​trials”.

** Development of civilization. Today we apply the measurement of human life as a "high-tech assessment of socio-economic evolution and scientific and technological progress of nations", and fail to notice the fact that the qualitative measurement of earthly life was introduced before the emergence of human civilization.

The criteria of such an "ancient" measurement show that the indicators of mental, intellectual, technical and everyday development can be completely ignored in the presence of spiritual poverty, mental ignorance and heartlessness, ie. in an unbalanced social, cultural and political environment ruled by religious misery.

The Hermetic principle "What is above, this is below" suggests that the higher and richer the human Spirit is, the purer and more fertile his Soul is, but also the better and more refined his material manifestation. Conversely, the darker and more burdened a Soul is with the cares and sufferings caused by its unnaturally cultivated attachment to matter, the weaker and powerless its Spirit is in material realization.

For example, in ancient Egyptian mythology about the creation and management of life on Earth, based on the Hermetic doctrine and the principles of immortality, the quality of earthly life determines the quality of the afterlife. A key point in this teaching is the end of the soul's journey through the underworld, when Isis, the goddess of fertility and resurrection, weighs souls on a scale in the Hall of Two Truths. Her unit of weight is a feather from Maat - the winged goddess of truth, justice, balance and harmony. If the soul is heavier than the feather, it cannot pass into the Kingdom of Eternity and is brought back by its "weights". Some researchers conclude that the origins of this doctrine, which became the "religion of supremacy" in ancient Egypt between 4000 and 3500 BC, date back 50,000 years.

*** Talent - a commercial unit of weight in antiquity, valued at its equivalent in precious metal or currency. In the Bible, the term "talent" is used in three meanings - as a unit of weight, as a monetary unit and in terms of gifts, qualities, skills - ie. exchange unit for commercial, monetary and intellectual exchange.

**** Alchemy is the name of the ancient science of transforming ordinary elements into their higher manifestations. Alchemy is often mistaken for magic and the dark forces, but we due our achievements in medicine and all other areas of modern science thanks to the Alchemy’s Higher knowledge, which is leading world civilizations to prosperity since the very onset of humanity.

Its unfortunate popularity is born by the fact that the same these forces have always made incredible efforts to gain the "fruits of higher knowledge" using the fears of the ignorant human soul as a unit of exchange. In this struggle for supremacy, economic, social, political, religious and cultural crises arise, which are accompanied by incurable mass diseases and pandemics. At such moments, these are the ignorance and the fear that test the foundations of civilizations.

The higher mind would never allow itself to be dominated by lower passions and no matter if a civilization will fall down or completely destroy itself and disappear from the face of the Earth, the Higher knowledge is always coming back in order lo teach and lead the humans in their earthly being.
