Numerology Reveals Your All by Abp Frank Bugge
Finally the book that Abp Frank wrote quite a few years ago has now been published.  
Great mathematicians have stated that the whole Universe exists because of numbers....and that everything in Creation has a resonant frequency or vibration, whether it be light, sound or water...or ourselves.  This rare system of numerology is for the primary purpose of getting to know one's self - to realise the shortcomings of our own personality, and help in overcoming them.  Abp Frank has used this art of numerology for over 30 years to counsel and understand those who are in need of help.  "Like any other skill" he advises, "do not for one moment think you shall gain the instant ability to use this system without some practice, but with very little effort you will soon see the results and will improve each time you read a birthdate.  The accuracy of the system will never cease to astound you as your ability grows".

Gerald Gardner and the Cauldron of Inspiration  by Philip Heselton
Gerald Gardner is a fully initiated witch who was also a priest in the lineage of a church that was to become the Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch.  His Apostolic lines are genuine and cannot be disputed. This book shows that "GENUINE" witchcraft and Christianity CAN be harmonious.  Now so many of the myths of evil witches ( Witch actually meaning Wise woman) can be put to bed as simply the imagination of Hollywood, or fear based ignorant primitives.
ISBN     1861631642

Also recommended is the book by Philip Heselton's that was the fore-runner to this book --- "WICCAN ROOTS".
   
Both books are available at Capall Bann Publishing U.K.

The Centre Workshops

3/11/2013

                           The Centres Workshops

These workshops constitute a comprehensive exploration of the ancient art and spiritual practice of MARU.  This is the world's oldest set of spiritual practices, and is one of the seven great "keys" to the spiritual mysteries.

There are four "levels of Workshop" corresponding to the four levels of spiritual practice.

                             (I). Level One - Introduction to the Centres

At this level the student is introduced to the basic practice of "Centre Work".  This ancient spiritual practice is the basis of the later concept of the "chakras".

The origins and brief history of "Centre Work" will be briefly discussed and the "Garden of Eden", the "Pictish Symbol", the Northumbrian Runic Pattern and the "esoteric significance of the Enneagram" in relation to the Centres will be discussed.

You will learn how to "build" and "develop" the Centres for the purposes of "spiritual development".  You will learn the basic spiritual practices of the hand positions, body postures, sounds, colours, cardinal directions and other methods for working with physical spiritual and earth energy for peace and tranquillity, and health of mind body and spirit.  These practices are the first steps in learning "Spiritual Alchemy", in the practice of "continuous spiritual knowledge" (maintaining conscious knowledge from lifetime to lifetime) which is also called "spiritual immortality".  This practice is also the basis of "controlled energy reception and transmission".

The workshops are designed for all levels from "personal development" up to "instructor levels". Because of the nature of MARU we can teach people on all contemporary spiritual pathways how to deepen and enhance their spiritual lives.  If you are a “spiritual seeker", or have no particular spiritual tradition you can still use these methods. 

If you are already a "practitioner" of an existing spiritual tradition please inform your instructor as slight variations in the teaching methods may be required.

Persons attending the level 1 workshop will be required to sign the following declaration:

I acknowledge that I have received instruction in Level I MARU (Centre Work) practices.  This information is for myself and private spiritual practice, and I will not purport to teach this information to others for profit without specific authorization from a registered and recognized MARU instructor or trainer.  I acknowledge that these methods and techniques remain the intellectual property of the teachers of MARU

This declaration shall constitute a legally binding contract.

Persons who have attended Level I Workshops, who wish to attend workshops of this level for a second time are entitled to a 50% discount for subsequent workshops at this level for a period of three years.
                                             (II). Level Two - "Static" Centre Work

                          Further details will be posted as this Work Shop becomes available.

                              (III). Level Three - "Dynamic" Centre Work.

                          Further details will be posted as this Work Shop becomes available.

                                  (IV). Level Four - Specific Applications.
These are a series of "specific applications" of Centre work to many different kinds of spiritual and physical applications.  Many different religious spiritual and "alternative healing" applications will be explored each in a separate workshop.

                          Further details will be posted as these Work Shops becomes available.

Did You Know Red Hair

DID YOU KNOW

Did you know that Jesus and his Mother Mary had red hair?

Written by the Presiding Archbishop of The Australian Church of Antioch, The Most Reverend Frank Bugge.  © Frank Bugge 2012

Evidence of the colour of Jesus’ & Mary’s Hair

I know you probably won’t believe this of me, but I got into a bit of a rumble in an esoteric group last week about whether or not Jesus and Mary had red hair. The first part I posted follows here in the first paragraph. I then got questioned on many things by a bit of a ???? let’s not even give him a name or title…. From the 2nd paragraph on are my answers for anyone interested. I cannot include his questions as he deleted them all at the end of the discussion. You may get the gist of it from my answers. 

Red hair is associated with the genetics of indo European speakers. There was an Indo European element in early Israel and this is demonstrated in “The Armana Letters” where the Prince of Jerusalem had an Indo European name. Furthermore see Analysis by Graves & Patti “In Hebrew Myths” and also “Raglan the Hero”. For indo European influence on pre-Christian lore the argument is simply that the natives of Gallilee were a mixture of Indo European & Semitic elements. Furthermore red heads were known in ancient Egypt as we know from Plutarch. They were associated with the Cult of the God Set, which early Egyptians such as Apion identified as being the God of Israel. Moreover King David was of an Edomite tribe being descended from Caleb; compare the genealogy in Chronicles and Kings of Salma. Note that edom means red. There was therefore a Jewish tradition that King David had red hair which is mentioned in the Talmud. Finally ancient Catholic tradition holds that the earliest portraits of Jesus and Mary were painted by Saint Luke and the earliest known copies of these images show both Jesus & Mary as having redish brown hair. See also the discussion by Graves, “In King Jesus” which although a novel is based on serious scholarship. Redish brown hair colour is also mentioned in the Apocryphal Letter of King Agabas of Edessa which is based on early sources. I have given only a small example of what I believe to be evidence. 

In relation to the myth of Isirus and Egyptian parallels we regard these as ancient prophecies this is a quite Orthodox Christian viewpoint see for example Eusebus – “Preparation for the Gospel” & St. Augustine – “City of God”, who hold that the prophecy of the coming of Jesus was revealed to all human beings everywhere at the beginning of humanity. Therefore we regard the parallels you mention as prophecies. Rather than Christianity being derived from Egyptian mythology, we see Egyptian mythology as being derived from the original Christian Prophecy. As far as an esoteric view on this point. See Rudolph Steiner’s “Christianity as Mystical Fact”.

In regard to the fact of bronze & words of many waters, there are two considerations.
1. We are not claiming that Jesus or Mary had white skin, merely that they had red hair. This is not genetically inconsistent with Indo European ancestry, but it would have to be a mixed ancestry. Our comments are not meant to be racial in any way but rather concern visage. (the early icons are after all also facts).

2. The next aspect you have ignored from an esoteric viewpoint is that “the voice of many waters” is a reference to an internal state of consciousness related to the mercury energies within the body. It should be noted that mercury’s metallic symbol is brass and indicating the feet as brass is a way of indicating bringing mercury energy from the feet to the mouth where it becomes “the sound of many waters”.

Note that Jesus Christ was considered the equivalent of mercury because mercury is a symbol of the Logos word (or sound of many waters) in Greek Mythology. This equation is also found in alchemy.

In regard to the black Mary Icons, these are an ancient symbol of the embodiment of Wisdom. See Ean Begg, “The Black Madonna”, and Idris Shah, who explains that black equals wise in Sufiism. We regard this also as a prophecy of the coming incarnation of The Divine Wisdom (Sophia in Greek) in human form. 

Once again Prophecy not Mythology.

The Cosmic Doctrine by Dion Fortune (Violet Firth).
This book describes the creation from the psychic point of view. This is an amazing book and while it is deep to wade through, it will give more insight each time you read through it. It is informative and makes sense of mystery. It describes the actual construction and forming of the Trinity, which is the basic God energy that controls all.    It is a book only for those who are very serious about delving into deep study of the principles of reaction within the Creation.

Marriage of Likeness by John Boswell
This book reveals the truth about the attitude of the Mainstream Churches to Homosexual, Bisexual and Lesbian marriages up until the 15th century. Listed within are several of the rituals and services of marriage for these three groups of people within the Anglican, Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. At this time there was little if any bigotry about what we call GAY people. This shows how often society, not religion changes the opinions of the church, when the church should be upholding the truth and showing compassion and understanding.

When Women Were Priests by Karen Jo Torjesen
Some facts about when women were priests in the Roman Church long before they were outlawed by a misogynistic Pope in the fifth century AD. This outlines the lies of the Church to hide these facts that are now coming to the fore with the discovery of more ancient texts revealing the presence of Women in the clergy roles.
