B113 Archangel Cassiel

大天使凱希爾

B113 - 翡翠綠/中調橄欖綠

Born 08:00am BST on September 5th, 2015

大天使凱希爾與土星有關。凱希爾掌管了安息日或休息天,就是每週那短暫的回顧。翡翠綠與中調橄欖綠的結合,帶領我們由太陽神經叢到內心的旅程。當我們放下過往的失望,它給我們機會去轉變到新層次的希望。怨恨和痛苦被轉化成新希望,而不是期待。

凱希爾經常被視為觀察者,從Aura-Soma 的角度,它的能量與珊瑚色或淡珊瑚色相似。除非被召喚,凱希爾通常只是觀察,而不是活躍或乾涉人類的存在狀態。在卡巴拉的捲宗摘要特定指出凱希爾是不允許干涉我們人類的領域。

從Aura-Soma 的角度,我們是需要被支持的。尤其是此時,當我們心中的真理能夠和所觀察到的那個'不知道'連接。這個說法似乎有些複雜但事實上是很簡單的。知道我們所‘不知道’是關鍵。通過感恩,通過空性至到深層且超越摯愛的層次,打開了通往愛的存在源頭之門。在這個時間點上,凱希爾代表了這個能量的某些部分,通過對'自我'的重新評價,我們能夠與這股能量產生互動。

一個新的靈性自信觀點已誕生。

凱希爾也是一個與深層的細胞記憶有關的大天使,尤其是環繞矩陣或結構體的細胞記憶,修整那些對內心產生的緊張模式。如果我們可以想像凱希爾是'超越一切認知的愛' ,一個全然無限(無界限)的愛,那凱希爾就能協助我們釋放內心的痛,背叛或失望。大天使凱希爾時常在卡巴拉與猶太基督教的傳統中被重用。他/她通常是那個沒有被指名的大天使,因為他/她被表達在所有的捲宗摘要。傳說中,凱希爾是個獨居的大天使,不常與其它大天使連接。孤獨且帶著悲傷,凱希爾經由釋放淚水和深層的哀傷帶來新的空間與位置。鴿子則把我們的煩惱和生命的困難一一帶走。當方向變成更清楚時,我們的困難都會經由深度的愛被轉化。

凱希爾的其中一個作用是當我們越靠近內心的真理時我們感覺深層的孤單,這從英語的觀點來看,這深層的孤單與'全體合一'相似。這個是這個能量的某部分。統一,新的靈性關鍵,一個超越傳統或形式的感覺。

我們也可以將凱希爾看成是火之大天使,淨化之火,類似原創之火。在這裡我想特別指出,這對Aura-Soma是新開始,一個從開始就存在的脈動。 Aura-Soma 的開始原自Doh 八度音的重新啟動,這也重新建立了Aura-Soma系統的新開始。這帶來了各種共時性,太多的例子使我們無法在這一一道出,但重要的是這大天使是來支持我們重新建立與原始的脈動。將Aura-Soma運生的原始脈動,就是30多年前首次啟發了維琪女士的Doh 八度音。經由凱希爾帶來的鼓舞把這音度帶去另一層次。

另一個重點是,凱希爾可以平衡我們內在的男性面與女性面,光明面與黑暗面。那個深藏在我們內在的智慧與幸福。

凱希爾的形象通常與騎著龍的國王和塔羅牌中的隱士相似,更有趣的是這大天使誕生於處女座。他和大天使桑德風有關聯。大天使桑德風通常被視為淚之天使,與小孩子來到與離開這世界的過程有關,這也是真實的凱希爾。

他所掌管的是星期六,就如我們把阿努比士視為這個世界與另一個世界的守護者,凱希爾也分擔此任。另一個有趣的參考是他也是七重天的掌管者,那最神聖的天堂包含了榮耀的寶座,這寶座是被其它7個行星的大天使所遵從。土星的年齡,聯繫著古老而博大精深的智慧,所以土星與太陽相近。當冰層加速解凍,迅速的氣體蒸發形成圓環。

他的範圍與因果報應有關,協助我們穿越固體化的因果業力,也與農作業有關,協助我們開展新耕種方法,去看見心態對地球生物的間接影響。

他的範圍也與靜心有關,同時也幫助我們明白時間與死亡的關係。

凱希爾與幾個主題有關,包括靈性自信,通過了解本質的價值而來的自信。靈性自信似乎與我從文章的開頭談到的'不知道'而不是知道有點自相矛盾。也許'知道我所不知道'是信任我們的內在之星,信任我們的天賦,去看見橄欖綠通往心的開啟的連接。這些部分都是此時凱希爾帶給我們的理解。

在Aura-Soma系統裡我們認為第10號瓶子,綠色對綠色,代表因果:種什麼種子結什麼果。我們可以將這看成,當下的體驗就是過去的行動所帶來的結果,而我們當下所做的將創造未來的結果。更重要的是我們要認知到真理是會帶來喜悅與慶典。凱希爾身為觀察者,是不擁有任何與批判有關的觀點,而是帶著樂趣去看見所觀察的一切。賦予我們腦裡的想法一個空間,好讓隱藏在這之後的藍天能夠被展示。

和凱希爾有關的動物是烏鴉,這在德魯伊教的傳統裡與基督能量還有其它的影響有聯繫。

凱希爾也掌管長者,針對遺囑和死亡。和凱希爾最有聯繫的花朵是白百合,還有維琪女士最喜愛的紫羅蘭。

我想這個瓶子會超乎想像地充滿能量活力,因為它特別結合了水晶寶石提煉的酊劑。出乎意料的,綠寶石和黑曜石是在一起的,還有鑽石和瑪瑙,都是非常有趣的組合。另一個對凱希爾很重要的水晶石是藍寶石,尤其是淡藍和中調藍寶石。這一股能量,連接著大天使和其它被隱藏的特質。這水晶石可以協助帶來豐盛,放下我們的匱乏或釋放阻止我們活得豐盛的模式。

凱希爾也帶來另一個可能性,讓我們能更深入靜心去清理因果的模式,以更覺醒的見解帶來我們真實的靈性深度。

凱希爾可以協助帶來洞察力。當我們想到翡翠和橄欖綠色,我們不會馬上聯想到看清晰的特質,而是想到我們所了解的全面的覺察,超越我們位置的界限去看見。凱希爾所帶來的清晰度是能夠把自己放在對方的位置去洞察和覺察,協助我們真正地連接自身的內在直覺。

我們不只是將這大天使看作是節制(113 = 14),凱希爾也支持我們表達個人與集體的真相,通過表達內在智慧,讓擅長解析的頭腦與更高的直覺達到平衡。這能夠支持我們安靜完整地表達自己,平靜地表達內在的深層智慧。

我們不會特別將翡翠和中調橄欖連接喉輪,但這獨特的綜合能夠協助清理阻塞和困難,尤其是清晰表達和說出內在真理這些方面。

凱希爾鼓勵我們追尋寂靜好讓我們能連接更深入的靜心體驗。在心靈寂靜中的沉默就是我們放下因果模式的方法。

凱希爾是個帶來健康的大天使,協助我們連接內在天賦那美好的一面和深層的本質。當我們認知到表達了內在的意圖和心態的美好,凱希爾就能協助我們連接。我們將能夠放下那些過往匱乏的心態,放下那些阻止靈魂的美好被看見或顯現的阻礙。凱希爾帶給我們新的真相和生命的豐盛。

前面有提到凱希爾在塔羅牌裡是隱士,在占星中和處女座有關。在塔羅牌,節制的牌卡畫面,是凱希爾的另一個面向,那是節制天使。節制的天使通常以站立的姿勢,一個腳在水里而另一個腳在地上,象徵意識與潛意識的特質,也是理解凱希爾的一部分。這顯示了煉金的過程,將金色液體從一個杯子倒進另一個杯子。

凱希爾也被稱為寧靜天使。

凱希爾的其中一個屬性是他/她讓我們能更獨立地認出月亮的增光和減光的力量,而不是被動的受影響。

凱希爾支持我們跟隨內在的真理,協助我們在對的地方在對的時間點裡,找到連接神性的道路,在地球上對的位置執行我們在神聖藍圖中的使命,完成我們來此之前的承諾。

凱希爾也在於協助那些對水有恐懼的人有好的聲望,幫助那些不喜歡水的人。凱希爾能協助船和海上的航行。很奇怪的一點是這些屬性的作用,尤其是我們是由十分之七的水所組成,而我們到底是在害怕什麼而不去看見內在的真理?

與愛與光

Archangel Cassiel

B113 - Emerald Green/Mid Tone Olive

Born 08:00am BST on September 5th, 2015

B113 Archangel Cassiel is associated with Saturn. Cassiel rules the Sabbath or the day of rest, the pause in our week for reflection. The combination of Emerald Green/Mid Tone Olive brings together the journey from the solar plexus towards the heart. It gives us the opportunity to make that transition to a new level of hope as we let go of the disappointments of the past. The resentments and bitterness transformed, not to wishful thinking but to a new sense of hope.

Cassiel is often seen as the Watcher, the one that we may think of from an Aura-Soma perspective as the same energy as we perceive in the Coral or the Pale Coral. In a sense Cassiel watches rather than being active or interfering in the circumstance of human existence, unless he is called. It is particularly stated in Kabbalistic texts that Cassiel is not allowed to interfere in our human domain.

What is really important from an Aura-Soma perspective is that we need support, especially at this time, that the truth that lies in our hearts can connect with the watching, the ‘not knowing’. This may seem quite a complicated statement but in actual fact it is really simple. To know that ‘we don’t know’ is fundamental. It is something that opens the door through gratitude, through a sense of emptiness to a deep sense of something that is beyond the beloved, the source of love in existence. At this point in time Cassiel represents something of this energy, how we might interact with this energy for ourselves through a re-evaluation of the ‘I AM’.

A new perspective of spiritual self confidence is born.

Cassiel is also an Archangel that relates to deep levels of cellular memory, particularly the cellular memory around the matrix or the constructs that are the patterns of tension that have produced the modification of the heart. If we can imagine Cassiel as a love that is ‘beyond all understanding’, a love that is absolutely without limits (boundless) then Cassiel could help us to release our heartache, our sense of betrayal or disappointment. Archangel Cassiel has been very much worked with and invoked in the Kabbalistic, Judaic-Christian tradition. He/she is an Archangel without attribution in the way in which it is expressed in all the texts. It is said that Cassiel is a solitary Archangel not normally in association with other Archangels. Alone and melancholy Cassiel sheds tears of release and through the deep sadness brings a new sense of space and place. The dove of peace carries away that which troubles us on or in the arena of life. As the direction becomes clearer, our difficulties are transformed through the depth of love.

Part of Cassiel’s functionality as we come closer to the truth of the heart is a sense of deep loneliness and aloneness which, from an English perspective, is similar to ‘all-one-ness.’ This is part of the energy of this combination. The unification, the new spiritual keynote, a feeling of unity beyond tradition or form.

We can also view Cassiel as an Archangel of Fire, a fire of purification, a fire like original creation. Here I want to mention that there is a sense of a new beginning in Aura-Soma, the same impulse that was there at the beginning. A re-sounding of the DOH of the octave through which Aura-Soma began, to re-establish the new beginnings in the system of Aura-Soma. There are numerous synchronicities with this, too many to go into here but suffice to say that this Archangel is there to support us in re-establishing with the original impulse that brought Aura-Soma into being; what was given to Vicky Wall, what was inspired through her in that first sounding of the DOH more than thirty years ago. It sounds again at another level with the inspiration that Cassiel brings.

It is also important to mention that Cassiel can be a balancer in relation to the male/female aspects within ourselves, the light and the dark. The wisdom and bliss that lies at the deeper levels of our being.

Cassiel can also be seen in many images as a King riding a dragon and also as a figure similar to that depicted in the Hermit tarot card so it is an interesting fact that this Archangel is born in Virgo. He is related to the Archangel Sandalphon. As with Sandalphon, who, in the process of the children coming and going in this world is often seen as an angel of tears, this is also true of Cassiel.

His day of the week is Saturday and in the same way as we think of Anubis as the guardian between this world and the next world, we can also think of Cassiel sharing this role. An interesting reference that also comes to mind is that he is the ruler of the Seventh Heaven, the Holiest of the Heavens that houses the Throne of Glory which is attended by the other seven planetary Archangels. The age of Saturn, of ancient and profound wisdom until it was that Saturn got too close to the sun. The rings that formed in the rapid gaseous evaporation that occurred as the ice caps thawed at an accelerated rate.

Cassiel’s work is to do with karma to help us to get through the condensation of the karmic lessons taking place, and also to do with farming to help us unfold what the new farming methods need to have implicitly within their attitude towards the being of the earth.

His work also relates to meditation as well as helping us to understand the relationship between time and death.

There is a certain amount of keynote to do with Cassiel which is spiritual self confidence, a sense of confidence that comes through an understanding of the true nature of self worth. It almost seems contrary or paradoxical to talk about spiritual self confidence when in the beginnings of this piece I was mentioning about the sense of ‘I don’t know’ rather than I do. Maybe somewhere to know that ‘we don’t know’ is a sense of trusting our star, trusting the essence of ourselves and how that relates to the opening through the olive towards the heart. This in fact becomes part of the understanding that Cassiel brings to us at this point in time.

In the Aura-Soma system we think of the 10 bottle, Green over Green, as karma: as you sow so shall you reap. We can think of this as what we experience now as a consequence of our actions of the past, what we do now will create the consequences for who we are yet to be. It is also important that we think of truth as being something that brings joy and celebration. Part of Cassiel as a watcher is not to have an opinion in any way to do with judgement, but more to delight in that which is seeing whatever it is that is being watched. The scenarios that appear in the mind are given space to reveal the blue sky hidden within.

The animal associated with Cassiel is the crow or the raven which, within the Druidic tradition, is very much associated with the Christ energy besides many other influences.

Cassiel also rules the elderly, to do with wills and with death. The flower that is most associated with Cassiel is the white lily and also Vicky’s favourite flower, the violet.

I think that it will be quite unusual energetically because of the particular combination of stones that have been called forth in the spagyric tinctures. Surprising that turquoise and obsidian are together, a very interesting combination, as well as diamond and onyx. Another stone which is really important in relation to Cassiel is Sapphire, especially the pale blue or mid blue sapphire. It is an energy which links the Archangel with other qualities that are otherwise hidden. It is a stone which can really help to bring a sense of abundance, letting go of our sense of lack or what is holding the patterns in place that deny ourselves the possibility of an abundant life.

Cassiel also brings the possibility for us to go deeper in meditation towards clearing the karmic patterns, towards the more enlightened view to help to bring about our real spiritual depth.

Cassiel can help to bring about clairvoyance. When we think of the colours of Emerald and Olive we would not immediately associate them with the quality of clear seeing, but think in terms of our understanding of panoramic awareness, being able to see things that are beyond the limitations of our own position. The clairvoyance and awareness of being able to put oneself in the position of another is the clarity that Cassiel brings about, to help somebody to really get in touch with their deeper sense of intuition.

We can think of this Archangel not only in terms of Temperance (113 = 14) but also particularly in relation to how Cassiel can support us in expressing our truth, both on an individual basis and also in the public context, through the expression of the wisdom that lies within that brings the quality of the analytical mind into balance with the higher intuition. The support to express oneself quietly with integrity, to calmly express what lies at the deeper level of the wisdom that lies within.

We would not particularly think of the effectiveness of emerald and mid tone olive in relation to the throat chakra but this particular combination is going to be very helpful in clearing the blockages and obstacles in relation to our ability to speak clearly and to express the truth within ourselves.

Cassiel encourages us to seek solitude that we might get in touch with the deepest level of meditative experience. To find silence in the solitude of spirit is how we may let go of the karmic patterns.

Cassiel is a health bringing Archangel who helps us to get in touch with a beauty that is coming from the inner essence, the deeper core within ourselves. When we think of how beauty is an expression of intention and attitude that lies within, then Cassiel can also help us to get in touch with this. Our patterns of the past in relation to our attitudes to do with lack, that prevent the beauty of the soul being realised or coming into being, may be put behind us. Cassiel brings us into a new sense of truth and wonder in the abundance that life has to offer.

In a previous paragraph there is reference to Cassiel as The Hermit in the tarot, associated astrologically with Virgo. The card Temperance in many tarot images, more closely relates to another aspect of Cassiel, who is also known as the Angel of Temperance. In the image very often the Angel of Temperance stands with one foot in the water and one foot on the land symbolising the conscious and unconscious aspects that are part of the understanding of Cassiel. That gives an idea about the alchemical process, the pouring of the golden fluids from one cup to another.

Cassiel is also known as the Angel of Serenity.

One of the attributes of Cassiel is also that he/she enables us to become more independent in relation to how we identify with the forces of the waxing and waning of the moon rather than being subject to them.

Cassiel supports us in following the truth within ourselves that helps us to be in the right place at the right time, particularly helping us to find our way to where we can connect with the Divine, the right place on earth to do what we need to do to connect with the Divine plan, what we agreed to before we came in.

Cassiel also has a reputation of being helpful for those with ‘a fear of water’, who find that they do not like water. Cassiel is helpful in relation to boats and sea travel. It is strange how some of these attributions work, especially when we consider the fact that we are seven tenths water and what is it that we are afraid of that stops us realising the truth of ourselves?

With Love, as ever
