The Feast of All Hallows and Summer's End

The clocks go back an hour, the evenings are darker and the nights are longer.

In some traditions, the end of October and the end of summer was celebrated as the beginning of the New Year.

It was a time when it's believed that the veil between the natural and the supernatural world is removed and the "dead walk among us".

Samhain (Summer's End) was a Celtic fire festival that was celebrated from 31 October to 2 November.

31 October was their eve of All Hallows (All Saints), Hallowed Evening, shortened to Hallow-e'en.

On 1 November, the Celtic gods and goddesses were honoured.

On 2 November, the spirits and wisdom of their ancestors were honoured.

In Christianity, these days are celebrated as All Saints Day and All Souls Day.

In the Mexican tradition, it is celebrated as the Day of the Dead.

Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness & Creativity by David Lynch

David Lynch has been a dedicated practitioner of Transcendental Meditation for over 30 years and has created the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace. This organisation provides scholarships and resources for teaching children and teenagers the art of Transcendental Meditation.

In his book, Catching the Big Fish, David Lynch talks about how meditation has influenced his creativity and helped him to come up with the unusual ideas, iconic images and concepts that have populated his work throughout his career.

However the book deals more with the connection between meditation and the creative processes than the techniques of meditation itself.

It is a personal look at how meditation has influenced one artist's life.

David Lynch: Kids and Meditation

David Lynch, the creator of Twin Peaks and the director of the Elephant Man, is launching a campaign in the UK to promote the practice of Transcendental Meditation in schools.

Lynch believes that Transcendental Meditation helps to develop creativity and academic ability as well as improving the emotional well-being, health and stress levels of children.

He has already launched a similar campaign in the United States with approximately 20,000 schoolkids practising the two 20 minute sessions every day.

Saved by the Bottle

A man was saved from drowning this week by a 2 litre plastic bottle when he fell of a tanker off the Kamaishi coast on Tuesday night.

He used the bottle to keep afloat for ten hours and was rescued the following morning by a passing fishing boat.

Lucky Number Seven

Why aren’t there eight days of the week? Why aren’t there nine deadly sins?

Seven is said to be a sacred number in all cultures and traditions.

From the sublime to the ridiculous, there are:

● Seven ages of man
● Seven colours of the rainbow,
● Seven wonders of the ancient world
● Seven gates of hell
● Seven primary chakras
● Seven Christian sacraments
● Seven Sisters (the Pleiades)
● Seven dwarfs

And many other magnificent sevens too numerous to list in this post.

The Hebrew word for Seven comes from the root of a word that means complete.
Ancient Egyptians saw the number 7 as a symbol of Eternal Life.

Seven is also said to symbolise the universe. It represents the Collective Mind and Universal Love. It is associated with feelings and instincts.

It is seen as a symbol of spiritual perfection.

Apparently when asked to think of a number between 1 and 10, most people think of the number 7.

Seven Veils of Mystical Experience

Yesterday I wrote about the Seven Veils of Mystical Experience in connection with the Dance of the Seven Veils.

The Seven Veils of Mystical Experience were also known as the Seven Rays by the Merkabah Mystics who are said to have practised the earliest form of Jewish mysticism.

The Seven Rays are Dreams, Reason, Passion, Bliss, Courage, Compassion, and Knowledge.

Merkabah means the ‘throne or chariot of God’ in Hebrew. The aim of Merkabah Mystics was to see God on his throne. To achieve this goal, they had to pass through the Seven Veils of Mystical Experience also known as the Seven Rays.

They had to give the guardian of each Ray (or Celestial Palace) a password or special talisman in order to continue.

In physical terms, this means they had to fast, chant and pray to induce trance states in order that they could make an ascent and reach a spiritual state where they could see the throne of God.

Each Ray was linked to a planet:

● Dreams (or Imagination) was linked to the Moon.
● Reason was linked to Mercury
● Passion to Venus
● Bliss to the Sun
● Courage to Mars
● Compassion to Jupiter
● Knowledge (or Gnosis) was linked to Saturn

Apparently of the four Merkabah Mystics who tried to travel through the Seven Veils of Mystical Experience, only one of them, Rabbi Akiba succeeded.

Of the other three, it is said that one died, the other became mentally ill and the third became agnostic.

Shades of Icarus.

This wasn’t exactly the ending to the story that I was looking for when I started researching this subject.

Oh well.

Salome and the Seven Veils of Illusion

It is strange how myths can be transformed into facts. Or how ancient concepts can reemerge disguised in the modern imagination.

Take the story of Salome.

The opera Salome (and the dance of the Seven Veils) is based on the biblical story of the beheading of John the Baptist.

However Herod’s stepdaughter is not referred to by the name Salome in the bible. Nor is there mention of a Dance of the Seven Veils. Nor did the dance exist in Middle Eastern tradition. It appears to have originated in Western imagination.

The famous image of the belly-dancing minx seems to come from the play by Oscar Wilde written in 1894. He also seems to have dreamed up the concept of the Dance of the Seven Veils.

In Salome, the opera by Richard Strauss, the character Salome performs the Dance of the Seven Veils, removing the veils one at a time until she is completely nude.

The idea of the Dance of the Seven Veils seems to be based on the concept of the Seven Veils of Mystical Experience of the Merkabah Mystics, who were forerunners of the medieval Qabalists.

The Seven Veils of Mystical Experience are Dreams, Reason, Passion, Bliss, Courage, Compassion, and Knowledge.

Mandalas and Meditation

Meditation, in its simplest sense, is the art of focusing your mind on one thing.

So there are many creative forms of meditation which don't involve emptying the mind, sitting in a lotus position and counting the breath.

For example, working with mandalas is a form of meditation which can connect you with the unconscious part of your self and evoke relaxation, healing and enhance your spiritual awareness and intuition.

Mandalas are said to originate from Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism.

The word 'mandala' is from the Sanskrit language. It is often translated as 'circle' or 'sacred circle'.

Mandalas are usually in a circular form composed of symmetrical shapes with a deity or a symbol in the centre.

You can meditate with a mandala by contemplating the central which can symbolise your Inner Self. After gazing at the mandala for several minutes, when you close your eyes, your mind's eye will be able to reproduce the mandala. With closed eyes, you can watch the mandala. The colours may change. The patterns may pulsate. You may experience a strong feeling of well-being.

Creating a mandala can also be an act of meditation - whether it be colouring it in, drawing one, painting one, or constructing one out of wood, rice, jewels or sand.

Traditionally, before creating a mandala, Tibetan monks would chant in meditation before creating the outline of the mandala.

Mandalas can also be created or used to purify your environment and create a sacred space.
