NUMBER THIRTEEN

Having an inner knowing in the destiny of humans based on the star system I can't have my inner peace until I am able to reach out to you and those who'd care to listen regarding the US presidntial elections which will be held again in early Nov., 2012, this year, after the four-year term of the incumbent is completed, and open for a possible re-election.  This happens to coincide with the Double Venus Transit occurring as a return of the Goddess on June 6, 2012, coming from its initial entry last June 6, 2004. My interest in the US 2008 voting process has nothing to do with partisan politics as I am not an American citizen, but it simply stems from an inner knowledge of the Oneness of all life, an esoteric concept which happens to be a personal advocacy.

I'd like to make a review of my blog done in February 2008, and move it forward to this date, June 4, 2012 to demonstrate what changes have taken place in America regarding its attitude towards the reality of their current economic status as compared with their previous perception of their seemingly prosperous status in previous years. I say “seemingly” because everything changes and at this time of acceleration to Ascension, much more rapid pace is noted than in earlier times as we move into the great Shift in world consciousness and the economies of the world are collapsing. . This blog is integrated with the article on the “Sacred Feminine” written by Meryl Ann Butler, author, artist and educator -- in whose veins run the blood of two American patriots: Payne and Wheeler, signers of the Articles of Confederation --the precursor to the US Constitution. In a while I will discuss the symbolic meaning of number 13 in the US Constitution in connection with the Sacred Feminine, "that life force within every sentient being, every man and woman, to create, to nourish and to intuit and be in cooperative relationships with others" I blogged about in another article, The Rise of the Sacred Feminine, following “13”

WAR-FOCUSED AMERICA AND THE IMBALANCE OF THE WORLD

If you view the competitive, hierarchical, technological and war-focused direction of America, you can see that the imbalances to do with its impending recession at this time which can affect all of us world-wide are largely caused by the overzealous glorification of masculine attributes that are very apparent. The awakening of the World's Mind to the understanding of the tragic loss of feminine leadership in our culture (American or Filipino) is underscored by the custom of avoiding thirteen in the numbering of floors in skyscrapers, hotel rooms, elevators, staircases, also racecars. You can see the ''fear" evoked by 13, which is the number of the Sacred Feminine. Somehow something rings like a tiny bell eliciting a mysterious fear deep inside the human psyche when people think of the number 13. They have no clear, rational or logical explanation for it. It simply resonates with a dread of a possible misfortune, like Friday the 13th? It may be due to an unconscious guilt of the latter patriarchal generations of the male-dominant sky-god religions for having put into oblivion the higher power of the divine Mother when it's only the Father who is always addressed in their prayers.

”Thirteen” is also associated with Jesus' birth through the Epiphany, the date when the Magi arrived with gifts, occurring thirteen days after Christmas on January 6th. He was the 13th in a circle of 12 disciples. He embraced grace (right brain/feminine) over the (left brain/patriarch) law of "an eye for an eye" to signify the replacing of karma with “grace” a phenomenal Christic gift which I tried to explicate in my latest post of May, 2012, The Pleaidian Agenda and Cosmic Christ.

In the Gospel of St. Luke, when Jesus healed the crippled woman on the Sabbath, which was forbidden by law, he showed that he followed a higher law -- the law of the heart. Again in reverence to the Sacred Mother. In Jesus' preference for teaching in parables, he quietly endorsed the power of oral myth and story, the feminine mode of imparting knowledge, as the means to embody the greater Truths. He was radical in his inclusion of women like his mother and Mary Magdalene in his ministry, a glimpse of the way he honored women. In its purest form, Christianity, which remains the religion of the American majority, represents a movement toward the recovery of the masculine/feminine equilibrium.

Back in ages of unrecorded time, the inhabitants of planet Earth were in close contact with the cosmic Universe, and the Mayan Calendar dates it at the 3rd storey of the human evolution pyramid labeled as 13 kinchiltuns, or familial cycle, 41,000,000 years ago. I have covered the Mayan Code in my previous blogs which can be scrolled back if the reader wishes to go into a deeper scrutiny of this ancient knowledge.

NUMBER 13 -- SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FALL OF MAN 

The Sacred Feminine was symbolized by female deities and earth goddesses-- something drastic happened to change that phenomenon, something to do with the Fall of Man, resulting in man’s disconnection or separation from the Creator and Cosmic Universe after an apocalyptic deluge, and later when human life was regained, covering millennia, we see that the earthly representatives of the Goddess were suppressed by the male-dominated, sky-god religions, leaving our world unbalanced and wracked with war. Now as we climb the 8th-9th storeys of the pyramid, called the Galactic cycle (1999-2011), the Sacred Feminine is back.

She is back to restore the loss of the Earth's All-important Balance. At this point, I hear from a great distance the voice of Hillary Clinton joyously exclaiming, “We are back!!” this was during the presidential campaign in 2008 wherein Hillary ran for the office but lost to Barack Obama who as everyone knows is the current US President. She was yelling then, “We are back! America is back!” after it was announced that she had won the New Hampshire, Nevada and Florida early primaries in late January, 2008. But the fervor for the return of the divine feminine couldn’t be sustained. Ms Clinton was later integrated with Obama’s cabinet as Secretary of State, doing her best to reconcile warring or openly hostile countries with the help of other world diplomatic channels at this time to prevent another global war from breaking out. She’s actually doing the balancing act of the sacred feminine force, towards the end of this post you’ll see why such a force is present in her, though not yet sufficiently emphasized. 

To show us how significant or meaningful the Sacred Feminine energy is to America's destiny you will observe that the number 13 of the Divine Feminine has figured prominently in American symbolism pertaining to its Constitution and the signers of the Declaration of Independence led by Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, two of the American Founding Fathers who were said to belong to a mystery school, the Rosicrucians, and therefore knew about the ancient symbols of cosmology.


13 NUMBER OF DIVINE FEMININE FIGURES PROMINENTLY IN AMERICAN SYMBOLISM IN ITS CONSTITUTION

Jefferson, America's third president, was born April 13, 1743. In the original flag, the 13 colonies were represented by 13 stars forming a circle. The current US flag has 13 stripes. On both the obverse and reverse of the Great Seal of the United States (see the figures above) the number 13 is seen in abundance. There are 13 stars in the crest, 13 stripes in the shield, 13 letters in Annuti Coeptis, 13 letters in E Pluribus Unum and 13 courses of stone in the pyramid. The eagle (national bird) holds an olive branch with 13 leaves and 13 olives in its right talons, representing peace and the feminine, and 13 arrows in the left, representing war and the masculine. The gaze of the eagle, however, is firmly set upon the olive branches, indicating America's focus and destiny toward peace. But before one can achieve peace, America has to, if necessary, go to war. Two of Jefferson’s quotes invite us to reflect, on the occasion of April 2004, says Meryl Ann Butler, the month with the greatest loss of American lives since the Iraq war began:

A little rebellion now and then is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government..... I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.

Thirteen is the number traditionally associated with the Divine Feminine. In ancient times there were "13 moonths" in a year since there are thirteen full moons, and thus, women have thirteen menstrual cycles, yearly. And also, we rejoice for the bonus in our paycheck, the 13th month pay, in December, a gift of the Divine Mother. The thirteenth letter of the alphabet is "M," a letter associated with many things feminine. including mother, mom, mama, mammary glands, and one of the most powerful feminine archetypes in the world, the Virgin "Mama" Mary. I know, you'd object since English is only one of many languages of humanity -- well, consider that English is currently accepted "universal language" of the world, apparently on the basis of US superiority on certain levels, culturally, militarily, as the policeman of the universe to secure balance of power. You are either a universal type of leader or you are not, with due respect.

To continue our discourse on the American symbolism: In its purest sense, American democracy is a reclamation of the balance, in the masculine and feminine dance, a waltz which has suffered from the imbalances of patriarchy or the rule of men, for the past 5,000 years. Let me bow for a brief exit now, to come back to blog about a woman named Hillary who was a frontrunner in the 2008 US Primary elections, and who I discovered in her astrological chart (and she may not know it) has the distinction of having been awarded with the high initiation symbol of “Isis Key” attributed to Isis, the Egyptian goddess in an ancient lifetime, and, in another medieval lifetime, a Knight of the Holy Grail, seeing such esoteric symbols in the nativity chart of Ms Clinton manifests a mystical link between earth’s physical reality and its underlying spiritual reality usually unknown to us who are not in pursuit of profound esoteric studies, unless we are starting to be a student of the Ageless wisdom of the past as the wisdom of the eternal Now. .
