Beschreibung

In magic a special language is spoken - not the spells, not the old languages that nobody uses for thousands of years, not the language of grimoires ... but the language of images. This language is direct and sincere and true - it is what it is, it tells how it is, it shows the innermost essence of what is signified ... the words of this language are a reflection of what they point to. The language of magic needs the connection to what it wants, it must be accurate, without inner contradiction ... otherwise this language has no magical effect. The language of magic works in the subconsciousness - and the subconsciousness is not judgmental, it is not moral, it hides nothing, it sees everything ... and that is where magic works. The words of magic direct the life-force - and what is the life-force but the "substance" of the subconsciousness? ... therefore the language of the magicians must be a True Language. The language of magic in astrology is the Moon: the inner images, the dreams, the dream journeys, the visions, the symbols, the omens, the fairy tales, the myths ... the language of magic is the "Language of the Moon"

I The House of Consciousness

I 1. The structure of the house

The house of consciousness is very simple and functional:

In it there is an office with a desk on which all the data needed for the momentary situation are gathered – the waking consciousness.

This is the normal state.

On the office desk there is a lamp, the spotlight of which is sometimes turned on and directed to a single thing on the desk when it is existentially important – the ecstasy state.

This state occurs when the subject is in fear, pain or lust, or when he is meditating in one-pointedness.

In the house there is also an archive in which all present perceptions and all memories are present in a well-ordered way – the subconsciousness.

This archive is seen in dreams and on dream journeys. You can also call it the "dream-consciousness".

The house itself is empty at first, but carries and contains everything else like a white canvas the picture on it or the silence the sounds in it – the deep sleep consciousness.

This consciousness is perceived in silent meditation.

This house does not stand alone in the forest, but in a city together with the houses of all the other people. These houses are all telepathically and telekinetically connected with each other, creating a large network, which also has a memory for everything that has ever happened in this network. This is, so to speak, the city archive – the collective subconscious.

This is the realm of the archetypes, of the deities.

Then there is the landscape, in which this city is situated – the fundamental all-encompassing consciousness, that has no contents, but wherein everything happens.

This consciousness is usually called "God".

I 2. Images

These five types of consciousness differ in the amount of information that is present in them simultaneously. To each of these forms of consciousness also belongs a certain frequency in the EEG – these frequencies form octaves to each other, i.e. they are respectively twice as high or half as high as the frequency of the neighboring state of consciousness.

I 3. Thinking

The different number of consciousness contents in these forms of consciousness leads to different structures in these forms of consciousness, thus to different forms of "thinking":

In deep sleep consciousness there are no contents, which means that there is also no contemplation of structures, thus no thinking.

In this consciousness one is simply there – one is just conscious of being conscious.

In the state of ecstasy, the entire consciousness is focused on a single thing, which is why there can be no "normal thinking" here either.

In this state of consciousness, one is completely one-pointed – as in orgasm, panic or deep meditation.

In the waking consciousness there are the contents that are needed for the momentary situation. The task of the waking consciousness is to recognize the optimal behavior in the current situation. So the thinking compares possibilities and makes a decision, i.e. it chooses one possibility and rejects the others. Here everything is evaluated and a ranking is created.

In this consciousness one is focused on one's own egoism and on the situation and tries to combine both in the best possible way – one tries to assert oneself or to use the situation in the best possible way. This "normal thinking" is therefore a selection tool.

In the individual subconscious all contents are present. So there is no evaluation and selection, amplification and suppression, but everything is considered in the same way – the subconscious is therefore the place where one can get an overview of the whole. This means that in the subconscious things look as they are, because in a good archive everything is well ordered, easy to find and in no way distorted or distorted. Of course, this also means that the images in this archive also contain all the feelings that may still be associated with these images. So this archive is not quiet and boring and dusty, but in it it is quite alive and loud and moving.

Consequently, thinking in the subconscious mind is just the clear view of all things inside oneself – as they are.

The same is true for the collective subconscious as for the individual subconscious, only that in the collective archive the images of all mankind are gathered in an orderly way.

The sections of this huge archive are the main themes, the archetypes, the deities and their myths. The deities also present their theme as it is. Therefore, one can learn from the deities what the wholesome form of a theme looks and feels like.

Thus, thinking occurs only in the waking consciousness as well as in the individual subconsciousness and in the collective subconsciousness. Since thinking has very different tasks in these two forms of consciousness, it also has a very different approach in both: in waking consciousness thinking is a combining of selected facts for a special pupose – in subconsciousness thinking is the ordering of all facts (perceptions and memories) in a large picture that contains a lot of different themes.

The waking consciousness depends on a good supply of information from the archive. The waking consciousness can also only make beneficial decisions if it allows the perception of all relevant information from the archive. Therefore a good cooperation between the office of the waking consciousness and the archive of the subconsciousness is essential for a prospering of one's own life.

Which means that the waking consciousness should learn as thoroughly as possible the language of the subconsciousness …

I 4. Feeling

Since thinking is clearly different in the different areas of consciousness, it is natural to take a closer look at feeling in these areas.

For the sake of simplicity, thoughts can be generally understood as "structures", feeling as "impulses" and images as more or less strongly processed "perceptual memories". The image is therefore the "vessel" that stands in certain contexts (thinking) and carries an impulse in itself (feelings).

In deep sleep consciousness, which is without contents, the only impulse should be the "being there" – one is what one is.

The feelings are here consequently a completely self-evident "being as one is". One rests in oneself.

In subconscious all contents are equally. However, they can contain different old feelings, which come from the time when a certain picture was created or was completed by another picture with the same theme.

If a memory is "intact", the feelings in this image are relaxed and one feels with this picture, if one perceives it from the waking consciousness, either simply a smirk or nothing at all. In the case of memories that have not yet been processed, however, the feelings in this image can urge the person concerned more or less massively to react immediately in situations that have a similarity to the image in question – either out of pleasure or out of fear.

A special form of the "emotionally charged image" is the trauma, in which the feeling of an existential threat is stored and which can therefore massively influence conscious decision-making.

In the subconscious are all the feelings that exist in the person concerned.

In waking consciousness are the relevant contents for the current situation and are processed there.

Consequently, in the waking consciousness are present the feelings that are relevant to the momentary situation – ideally all feelings, but none of them so dominant (trauma) that the waking consciousness can no longer realistically assess the situation.

In the ecstatic state there is only one content of consciousness.

Obviously it is just so important that all attention and consequently all actual feelings refer to this one content. Consequently, the feelings reach their maximum intensity.

Probably the same is valid for the collective subconscious as for the individual subconscious.

In it, too, all feelings are stored and are visible and effective.

Also with regard to the feelings, the subconscious archive is the place where everything can be seen as it is.

I 5. The nature of the images

The images one sees differ according to the source from which they come. First of all, externally perceived images are something different from internally perceived images such as in dreams. But the inward images are by no means uniform, but can originate from quite different inner realms and then look distinctly different in each case.

I 5. a) External perception

The outer perception happens with the eyes. One sees things that emit light or that are illuminated by light when this light reaches the eye. The optical impression in the brain represents the external form of what is seen.

In waking consciousness, one perceives the entire situation; in the state of ecstasy, one perceives only the one important thing – the hungry lion, the beautiful woman and so on.

I 5. b) The transition to inner perception

The transition to inner perception is e.g. the beginning of a dream journey in which one steps through an imagined door or inwardly addresses a deity. The beginning of a daydream is also such a transition – even if not a conscious one. The awakening in the morning from a dream is also one of these transitions (but in the other direction than the beginning of a daydrem).

Likewise, the beginning of imaginations during a ritual is such a transition, or the laying of hands on a tree when one wants to converse with it. Looking into a crystal ball or a mirror is also one of these transitions, as is shifting one's consciousness into the body of another person when one wants to see what is wrong with him or when one wants to heal him. Furthermore, the conscious practice of telepathy and telekinesis as well as hypnosis also belong to these transitions. The transition from the waking consciousness to the subconsciousness shows a great variety …

From the point of view of perception as well as from the point of view of imagination, first impressions, lines, symbols, color impressions, silhouettes, etc. arise during this transition, which then gradually become clearer.

I 5. c) Perception in the Psyche

The perception or imagination in the subconsciousness (dream consciousness) consists of only slightly colored black, grey and white images. The scenery is filled everywhere with a diffuse light that has no discernible light source. Things move, the scenes sometimes change abruptly, you yourself are part of the action.

This area corresponds to the perception that is artificially evoked by hashish, among other things – however, this state is also much more easily (and moreover legally) attainable by a dream journey.

I 5. d) The transition to the Soul

At this transition, things partly start to glow from within, they become mostly colored, they have unnaturally sharp contours and they constantly change into new forms, whereby these transformations look as if clay is being deformed more and more – they are flowing transformations.

This kind of perception is typical for LSD and for quite deep meditations – it is often depicted in psychedelic art (and in the MCU-film "Dr. Strange"). Also anesthetic injections (e.g. at the dentist) can sometimes have this effect – it then looks something like the things you look at for a while seem to form bubbles and start to "bubble".

I 5. e) Perception in the Soul Realm

The images are usually still images (they do not move or change). Now and then they are symbols. They are colored and they glow from within. These pictures have a great intensity and a deep meaning that can be felt, even if it is not necessarily understood right away. Especially the eys of souls, if they appear in the inner vision in the shape of a human, are very intense.

I 5. f) The transition to the Deity Realm

Things begin to glow more intense and they also begin to become transparent. This means that you can see everything from any place. Intense feelings can occur here because the boundaries begin to dissolve – which sometimes manifests itself in the vision of a bottomless abyss into which one is supposed to jump.

I 5. g) Perception in the Deity Realm

Here contours are found in the light. This realm is a continuum, i.e., there are no demarcations. Here one can only define oneself by one's own quality, but not by a delimitation – one is part of an endless continuum. This is the realm of the deities.

I 5. h) The transition to Unity

At this transition there are two important experiences:

One is home, a connectedness with everything, a rediscovery of one's own "family." The drug "ecstasy" is an attempt to bring man into contact with this realm in a chemical way.

The other experience is the "light storm", which is an completely unrestricted selfexpression.

I 5. i) Perception in the Unity Realm

The perception of this realm is glistening white light or shining blackness – which is a difference only in words. This area is the unity, undivided, boundless … and fulfilling …

The "home", the "storm of light" and the "oneness" can be experienced, among other things, in dream journeys to the sage.

I 6. Why pictures?

The reason for the subconscious mind to consist mainly of images is quite simple: Language is (from the whole evolutionary point of view) a rather new invention of mankind. The sensory perception and thus also the memories of humans do not consist mainly of words, but to 80% of optical perceptions. The human being is an "eye-being".

Consequently, man still has in his subconscious the old "optical processing system of experiences" (image associations), which is also found in all other mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians.

II The properties of images

To understand the language of images, it is helpful to look at them more closely. The most important questions to ask are:

What are their words?

What is their grammar?

What is their substance?

And as a complement to this, the question:

Where does this language appear in a chart?

II 1. The words of the picture language

The "words" of the picture language are the individual pictures. They are perceptions or stored perceptions, i.e. memories. To these memories also belong the impulse and the motivation, i.e. the feeling, which is possibly still bound to this picture.

Since all contents are present in the subconscious mind completely and without exceptions, there are images that come to the fore because they are more central (e.g., the image of one's mother) or are still emotionally charged (e.g., the longing for a person or the memory of an accident), but all images are in their place in this great archive.

All these images can therefore be seen in the dream – if there is an occasion that highlights these images in the night in question. This is what makes the examination of one's dreams so revealing …

In the subconscious there are no deceptions and no hiding, embellishing or catastrophising – one sees things there as they are. Each image is the best possible expression of the relevant content of the psyche – it is a memory, a reflection of a past event.

This sincerity of the images in the subconscious makes it so valuable to learn the language of dreams.

II 2. The grammar of the picture language

The images do not stand alone in the subconscious – the language of dreams also has a grammar. This grammar is very simple: similar things make contact – like looks for like.

By this process of "thematic sorting" symbols are created – this ancient Greek word means "to bring together, to compare". This process of associating similar images with each other enables quick orientation.

This process is also the basis of "instinctive learning": similar situations are recognized again, which is the reason for either behaving like the previous time (if that was successful) or trying something else (if that was unsuccessful).

Also the training of animals (and sometimes also humans) with the help of punishment and reward uses this association principle ("Pavlov's reflex").

Finally also little children (and to some extend also adults) learn easiest by the imitation of a role model.

This association logic gives rise to a pictorial language that uses similarity rather than causality as a link.

The oldest known languages like the ancient Egyptian and the Sumerian have still partly this pictorial logic and possess hardly such logical particles like "if", "then", "but", "like", "after", "possibly", "nevertheless" and the like. Therefore, in these languages there are sentences like "Pharaoh in the palace, sun in the sky." It is not too difficult to see what is meant by this: "The mighty Pharaoh shines in his palace like the all-ruling sun in the sky." So there is a grammar possible that does not use (or use very little) the logic of causality and the logical particles …

This self-organization of the inner pictures by the assemblage of memories with the same subject leads also to the emergence of archetypes via the formation of symbols. The connection between these archetypes then finally develops into one's own inner mythology.

This mythology formation process runs in the following graphic from left to right – the effect of this mythology on the behavior of the human being runs from right to left. Of course, many more memories are combined to one symbol than only two as in the graphic – and also much more symbols to one archetype etc. The graphic is only to show the principle, how the archive of the subconscious is built up.

In the subconscious mind there seem to be two fundamentally different phases of activity:

the use of inner images for orientation in the world during the waking state during the day, and

the sorting of the experiences of the day during the dream state at night.

This "inner tidying up" is also the reason for sleep, which is actually a life-threatening affair, since during sleep one cannot perceive what is happening all around one. Thus the existence of sleep must have an existential function that just cannot be ommited.
