Mystics Magic

an Excerpt from Spiritual Symbols with Their Meanings Book (AoL Book #8) by Nataša Pantović

The Guardians of the Oracle Mysteries

The Mystics, the Magi initiates, the guardians of the oracle mysteries acquired deep knowledge of the laws of the  world and their interaction with the sense world.  Some of them worked hard all through their lives to decipher the spiritual forces behind the of nature and to learn how to control the elements.

The Mystics of India

In ancient India the philosophers and the yogis observed the world as an illusion. Yet, the magic of the spiritual world stayed deeply connected to the sense world.  Within the science of yoga, the science of mind, body and soul is beautifully correlated.  The way we breathe influences the world around us, our perception of the worldly phenomena, our happiness.  The way we treat our spine influences our health and wellbeing.  And finally the way we treat our thoughts, or the science of mindfulness and meditation influences our current incarnation and the incarnations to come.  

Patanjali, within his Yoga Sutras, gives a foundation of the science of , or the ‘Kingly Science of the Soul’, mapping the step by step rules, and methods, to make a man perfect, leading  him or her from an average person, through to initiates, to a master yogi.  A yogi aims to free him / herself from the moods, longings, desires, and emotional reactions that are ruling the life of an average person and has arrived at the point of peace.

The Mystics of Greece

For the philosophers of ancient Babylonia and Greece the sense world was not considered an illusion. 

In the search for Divine, they turned towards art, towards symbols and signs within myths and legends. They created such a marvel of art that every detail became an expression of the spiritual.  In mysterious ways the wisdom of the initiates poured into poets, artists, and thinkers.  They awakened powers of thought and feeling that are not directly stimulated by the spiritual world.  Manipulating the elements, they turned towards the Lady Science and carried her principles to the point that we are now able to manipulate the sound, the light, the matter and its manifestation.

The Mystics of China

Chinese created I Ching that within its symbolism reflects the universe in miniature.  The book is at the heart of Confucian thought and Taoism, but also a common tool amongst the fortune tellers that use it as a divination text and a roadside oracle. 

The I Ching starts with the hexagrams Qian and Kun. Qian is heaven and Kun is earth. When heaven and earth are born, the whole of creation comes into being.  All the lines of Qian are masculine, its symbol is the dragon.  Kun is earth.  It is purely feminine.  Earth creates the world and the whole of creation counts on it for nurture and growth.  Kun is the female horse.

The Mystics of Kabbalah

 Kabbalists designed the Tree of Life and the Tarot symbolism followed it.  Kabbalah is an esoteric teaching, a science that explores metaphysical principles of the universe.  Any material object and action from both the micro and the macro world is controlled by the spiritual forces. 

Kabbalah attempts to understand these spiritual sources, to know their nature and properties.  Within the basic structure of the Tree of Life we find the ten Sefirots, each corresponding to a divine quality.  They divide into masculine and feminine qualities.  The Sefirots are a blue-print of all the phenomena from cosmic forces to human relationships.  The Sefirots are linked together in precise relationships and governed by the three divine principles: balance - Will, expansion – Mercy, and constraint - Justice.

The Tarot is used as a symbolic reflection of the Tree of Life, a remarkable repository of esoteric knowledge and a powerful tool for spiritual and psychological exploration.

Mystics Magic and God

To a Chinese sage, a Yogi, and a Cabbalist Mystic, the earth is a field of activity that has to be transformed, so that it carries an imprint of human will.  

Just as God is hidden, so are the inner secrets of Her divine message.  We read about them, hear them uttered, but we can not possibly comprehend their meaning unless we have a direct experience of their truth.  That is why to be able to talk to our souls we use meditation, we use rituals, symbols and signs, we use dreams and careful observation of souls’ subconscious messages.  The mystics of our past help us in this quest.  From Zarathustra who comes from the ancient Persian spiritual culture, to Pythagoras who comes from the Greco-Latin cultural epoch, to Lao Tzu, Buddha and Christ, they all carry the keys to the secrets of the most varied mysteries.
