Wrestling with Ladon: The mythical significance of trees
- By Mad30
"Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness."
~Kahlil Gibran
The tree is an iconic image of heraldry and symbolic significance in various cultures throughout the world. It represents many things, including the Great Mother in her nourishing, sheltering form, as well as a sacred spot of attainment and spiritual enlightenment. Deeply rooted into the evolutionary psychology of our race as well as earth’s powers, it draws water from the soil and stretches up to the heavens and eternity, acting as a world axis. In occult or Gnostic circles, it is seen as being emblematic of the “axis mundi”, the world pillar, and the center of the earth itself. It is closely linked to the symbolism of the pillar and the mountain, as well as connotations of a phallic representation, best signified by the ancient usage of obelisks for ritual and ceremonial purposes. It serves as an intermediary icon of the mysterious dimensions between the realm of gods and men. A common Shamanic concept has the “seeker” or “healer” using the world tree in order to transverse the physical realm and bring back secrets from hidden dimensions.
Uniform Deception: Government Secrets Part 1
- By P D Bowling
Government ostensibly operates for the people. The 'UNITED STATES' is set up to protect its citizens. The very Preamble to the Constitution states that the function of government is to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, and to promote general welfare. How then has the government come to be so overbearing and oppressive in our everyday lives? Our government, set up by the people and subservient to the people, has transformed into an ominous beast that forcefully removes your wages and dictates what you can and can not do even if those actions do not infringe on another's rights.
'Registrations', 'applications', and 'submissions' all keep us tied down to the political machine that controls our lives in the form of licenses, income tax, property tax, and statutory code. The problem now becomes this. What are the secrets that the government does not want us to know or understand that allows us to enter into this trapped state? I will address ten of these secrets in ten parts. The first article will deal with how the government uses the Uniform Commercial Code to make you a ward of the state.
