Manifestations
by: James Edward Carlos
With close encounters, historically versed, when speaking of others, such as prophets et al, given a primal accord and karmic pattern of mystical persuasion we discover Enoch and/as Metatron within the characteristics of coming forth, i.e., of transfiguring through a process of metamorphosis (lights within and from lights, images within images continuing). Enoch is an implicit binary configuration, a composite of both physical earth issuance as well as being simultaneously, metaphysically supernal in his spiritual investment becoming Metatron. The angelic Prince of Presence in nature. Jacob, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Aaron and Moses with Joshua et al, are “mystery” in the same sense as the androgynous Adam, and the resolution of Eve, and each essentially offers a presence that as a creation provides equally subtle nuances and shifts in language/s with various interpretations issuing. Although their encounters with light appear to differ, these are akin to this historical milestone wedding Ezekiel to the others such and especially to the eventual significant Kabbalist tradition of Hebrew mysticism. Embodied as if assumed in the encountering with light are the manifesting expansions, evolutionary, tribal histories.
I ascertain because of my own encounters to presume their own series of incarnations of becoming being again and again. Recycling incarnations are reincarnations as in resurrections implied by Isaac on the sacrificing table. Questioning his father Abraham, Isaac seeks the assurance of resurrection as providential, as being a conferring reality. Thereby a circling radiance - a living metaphor - is revealed; the wheel (ophanim) is harbinger of light and flight represented in the chariot associated with the palace-heikalot, and further associated with throne (which I tend to refer to as a circular altar with vertical round crystal columns placed atop the form) inside the chariot where rituals commence. Through such known terms a royal sovereignty is ascertained, even when misleading as to kingships, palaces, courts, and fiefdoms.
Ezekiel references rites metaphorically and symbolically, akin to Enoch’s earlier somewhat similar description of such actions. These are in a sense communion-community rituals that bring us to baptismal liquids and to the regenerative passion embracing supernal fire (indicating nourishment, subsistence, and regeneration with shifting of countenance).
Ezekiel refers to these rites (part of his telling) during his encountering light manifesting through visual symbolization with the same kind of breadth and depths found in visionary mystical reverberations. Thereof each symbol is representative of ancient principles as mentioned above implying that each such nuance symbolized royal sovereignty insofar as representing kings, pharaohs, gods, and for variegated power ships of various kinds. Such expressions are culturally manifested as to the time of the writing. With Ezekiel’s placement of the four faces in one face their symbolical histories and location-oriented temporally are coherences to the language/s invested in poetic assemblages, “as is written.” Light therein becomes credence as vocabulary manifests meteors of thought as significances. Each nuance is revelatory, beyond supposition as meaning becomes born, and conscience is a resolution ultimately as consciousness rebounding.
By prophecy I mean revelation, not merely an exposition about any time-past assimilation or futuristic imposition of information, nor given to an interpretation of philosophic implications. Rather, revelation is a spiritual coming-to within a wider vastness than from a specific religious order, and in accordance, from any theological concentration as to a stated religion. With implications of light as sun, time and orbiting are conferring implications that inveigh memory as to the human consciousness. Understanding and Wisdom are manifestations issued from Keter – the Light of and a beyond for the physicality of Ein Sof manifesting actuality. Of this triad the ladder of Jacob becomes circumspectual, a gift aroused by Daath, or Da’at being the process of potential cohesion while remaining light as infinity, as informing (in-forming), as mystical.
Memory is implicit as well as explicit, therefore, but prophecy from revelation remains in the “extinct” past, even suddenly past, from that former moment of awareness; nonetheless, in our present consciousness time continues as teleological and forward in nature sequentially moment by moment. Evolving seemingly upends any probable contradiction as to light being planetary thus issuing time through orbiting. Despite the recycling processes of time as an aspect of larger spiraling, multi-universal significances, this geometrical spiraling is indicative of energy vortexes connected with warping of time and altering the usual notions we humans have of space, other than for similar expositions of memory as described above.
The memory expeditions literally are Kabbalah, and are in one form or another part of the encounter lessons; we become invested in the processes about these movements as stages being enacted by which we soon measure each concept as to possible interpretations. Allusions of embodiments come forth as the sefirothic ladder of Jacob’s dream, each state expansive in meaning. By each moment, I infer that being part of a vast multi-verse consciousness these moments are implicitly beyond any temporal localization as explicated in our scientific experimentations while inclusive of such. Included, too, are the thought experiments of some of our most renowned physicists et al. While being aware that we decipher these experiences we come to the realization that momentum is additionally multi-implicated despite any renditions otherwise in verse or theory that set aside such situations parenthetically.
