Myths, Gods and Creatures

Stories From Energy Bodies 9

No.20 ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE

Their decent into Hades is among the most vivid and magical tales of Ancient Greek Myth. Orpheus was revered as the God of music and song as his lyre left the Gods, people and nature spellbound in rapture. Eurydice was his newlywed wife, when at the wedding was fatally bitten by a snake. Orpheus in utter despair and at great risk threw himself to the underworld to bring back Eurydice. After enchanting Hades and Persephone keepers of the underworld with his lyre and song, Eurydice was allowed to return to earth on the condition that Orpheus do not look back until both were out of the underworld. All was well until having just stepped out of the gates of hades, Orpheus overcome with passion turned to see Eurydice forgetting she had yet to step out, and so this time she was gone forever back to the underworld. Poor Orpheus having lost Eurydice forever swore to never love another woman and so it is said he was the first Thracian to transfer his love to young boys.

No.21 TETHERED SOULS

These are souls tethered to a mother soul. A little like the larva of Dragonflies which are called nymphs, souls also migrate through a metamorphic transformation. The mother soul a pervasive energy body throughout the universe nourishes the growth of souls. Our souls are always growing, we are always tethered to our source of energy. The metamorphosis is an evolution of our being through our discovery of the soul, that it belongs to eternity but that we are its caretaker.

No.22 NEPHELAI CLOUD NYMPHE

In Greek Mythology, Okeanid nymphs of clouds and rain rose up from the earth bearing water to the heavens and were sisters to the Naiades, nymphs of the springs. In Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound, it is the Okeanides who flew to sooth Prometheus chained to a mountain craig and he cried out, “what may be this rustling stir of birds, the air whirs with the light rush of wings”. In another myth, Ixion, King of Lapiths fell in love with Hera and tried to rape her. She told her husband Zeus, wanting to determine the truth of Hera’s accusation Zeus fashioned a cloud nymph to look like Hera and laid it by Ixion’s side. After when Ixion bragged that he had slept with Hera, Zeus punished him, tying him to a wheel that spun him away into the air and indeed the Nephele, cloud nymph, bore Kentauros from Ixion’s seed, the origins of the racethe springs. In Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound, it is the Okeanides who flew to sooth Prometheus chained to a mountain craig and he cried out, “what may be this rustling stir of birds, the air whirs with the light rush of wings”. In another myth, Ixion, King of Lapiths fell in love with Hera and tried to rape her. She told her husband Zeus, wanting to determine the truth of Hera’s accusation Zeus fashioned a cloud nymph to look like Hera and laid it by Ixion’s side. After when Ixion bragged that he had slept with Hera, Zeus punished him, tying him to a wheel that spun him away into the air and indeed the Nephele, cloud nymph, bore Kentauros from Ixion’s seed, the origins of the race of Centaurus.

No.23 EROS FLYING FROM PSYCHE

Eros in Ancient Greek, meaning “intimate love” was the primordial God of sexual love and beauty and worshiped as a fertility deity. He fell in love with a beautiful mortal named Psyche and took her as his wife on the condition she would never see his face and he would visit her only at night. Those nights were full of love and passion but Psyche began to fear that Eros might be an ugly monster. Urged by her jealous sisters she took a candle one night. As Eros slept she lit the candle and gazed on his face. Instead of a monster she saw a very handsome young man with wings. In her surprise she spilt a drop of hot wax on Eros and he awoke. Fluttering his wings above her he cried out, oh foolish Psyche, is this how you repay our love, trusting your jealous sisters and flew away forever. Here we see the teaching often implied in Greek Stories. These myths are all about the struggles and emotions of human love and relations. Seen through the lives of Gods gave profundity to mans daily struggles with himself and nature.

No.24 PSYCHE

In Ancient Greek means soul and butterfly”s were considered deceased human souls. Indeed what is more magical, etherial and free than a butterfly. And what better existence after the struggle of life and death than to become a beautiful lighthearted butterfly. Here is the Energy Body of a lovely departed soul about to emerge from its chrysalis. Energy bodies resemble in reflection the physical bodies they animate. However that resemblance is most often dramatically abstracted. The physical bodies are an outer shell coalescing an absolute universe of complex energies appearing mingled and abstracted yet are constructed of a multitude of energy cells of the finest, utterly divine and mysterious order of perfection.

No.25 THE UNIVERSE

Here out in the universe is the place of our birth. An angled eye gazing on the splendor of a passing behemothian world of transparent matter. In that eye of nothingness we can see the knowing of all and of its nature, pure innocence. A monolith red skin of leather streaked by lines of infinity, perhaps named God ? levied forever among space and planet and floating between sky, earth and water. What endless creations will come beget by the desire of unknown creatures.

No.26 ENERGY BODIES AND SOULS

We usually think of one universe, and as a physical space but there exist infinite universes not of physical space but of creative energy waiting to become matter. For example, love and beauty are creative energies of endless permutations. Formed into matter through the irrepressible urge of creativity and vision. Everything in life is reflected in spirit sometimes bearing actual resemblance but more often of a form that speaks of the nature of its soul. Each soul is a foundation of being that is unique and malleable to become the perfection of itself. It is the soul that lives in the eyes and searches to merge itself to nature and the universe.

No.27 MEDUSA

Is a tantalizing tale of many meanings. In Greek myth she was a Gorgon, a terrifying female creature. The mortal sister of the immortal Stheno and Euryale. They had the power to turn anyone to stone who looked at them. Medusa had copulated with the God Neptune in a temple of Athena as he was aroused by the golden color of her hair. Neptune’s wife Athena cursing her changed her enticing golden locks into serpents. Later Perseus killed Medusa using a shiny shield as a mirror by cutting off her head. Many stories followed that each drop of blood from Medusa’s head turned into snakes and the head was used by Athena and Perseus to turn competing suiters and enemies into stone. And thus the ancient myths are not just mythological but can be found to this day in the jealous and twisted machinations of politicians and lovers

No.28 APHRODITE

Racing at tremendous speed backwards in dark multidimensional space, passing the transparent imprints of memory through manifestation to inclination, our speed diminishes past undefined form to energy to spirit. At a full stop we stand at the center of the universe where movement is almost imperceptible, a slow woven pattern of colored forms in monumental entanglement migrating into and through each other, reforming into endless transmutations that join form and spirit into beauty.

No.29 CYCLOPS

The Greek Mythological primordial race of giants with a single eye. According to Hesiod, they were strong, stubborn and abrupt of emotion. However, their Energy Bodies evolved long before the myths, are indeed highly exquisite, intelligent entities possessed of immense insight and wisdom. Cyclops float everywhere in the vibrational and magnetic color fields. They also have a single eye that, “be warned” will spin you inward, through a million layers of past and its future to a sudden stop of nothing and from there you will fall forever.

No.30 ZIYAD

Ziyad in ancient Arabic means growth. There must have been a first everything, evolving from something. Dust blown onto space, a scratch on a rock that through the web of time rubs and larvates. Otherwise its all factory stuff, retro designs that never change. Any guy like God running a factory has to run out of ideas. Instead, stuff has to grow and grow forever changing itself, trillions of intended accidents webbed together, tethered to endless time and infinite space.

No.31 ASTRAEA

In Greek Mythology, “aster” meaning Star became Astraea the virgin Goddess of innocence. When wickedness took root in the world she left the earth and became the constellation Virgo. Wickedness is not innate evil it is the absence of innocence which contains two meanings. The unknowing of a child and an untainted heart. A child learns to know life. An untainted heart learns to know but also remains pure, free of the mind of past and future.

No.32 ENERGY BODY NUCLEI

Energy bodies in a metaphorical sense are a body of energy ganglia that animate physical form. Energy cells are the substructure of that body. Energy nuclei make up the cell itself. Very little is known about these nuclei, they are not the nuclei of Physics. They are invisible to the observation and measurement of science and are only intuited through the channeling of artistic sensibility and freedom. They are at their center nano universes of polarity that within an intangible sphere animate all of life.

No.33 ΜΑRΤΥRΕΟ

In ancient Greek means, to be a witness. The human Nervous System Is a complex labyrinth of energies, coalescing at any moment into a defined response fueled by a billion data nuclei. Knowledge and control of this process is impossible. However, the organism itself possesses an overriding mechanism functioning through observation. An ability maintained at the center of the being known as the witness easily accessed through meditation.
