The Aeon Of Harpocrates 

According to Plutarch's Moralia, Harpocrates was conceived by Osiris and Isis after the Death of Osiris, during his process of resurrection.

In Moralia, Osiris was said to be regarded as the Water of the Nile, and Isis as the Earth. The Nile flows over the Earth, nourishing and fertilizing it, uniting with it.
Horus is said to be the surrounding Air

 Disintegration, Particles

 Solve Et Coagula
The Dissolution necessary for Unity, and Evolution.
Much like the disintegration of Osiris, or the Alchemical King. The King is divided into pieces, each piece  washed clean, and then reconstructed again as a whole. Resurrected and reborn as a Pure, Clean Soul.

The Bodhisattva is said to visit depths of Hell to Cleanse the level of Hell (within the Soul) before being able to enter its corresponding Heaven. It is said to be like the 'Twelve tasks of Hercules' And through these tasks cleansing and absolute liberation is achieved. 

The Face of the Aeon of Horus.
His eye the Sun, Father Osiris
And his eye the Moon, Mother Isis


Tetragrammaton

Twin Hermits, Holding Balanced Scales of Lanterns.

The Feather and The Cup inside the lanterns, represent the Heart and Mind- the Feather (Mind) and Cup (Heart).

In the Egyptian Book of the Dead,  Anubis places the Mind and Heart on scales to look for Equilibrium. If the Heart and Mind are not in Balance, then the Soul cannot enter Heaven. 

Lamed represents the heart, but also the Hearts Understanding or Wisdom. 

In my work the Heart and Mind are Balanced in the Hermits Lanterns. Illumination must first be ignited within the Heart. Prajna; the 'The light that must Burn in your heart'.

To have Prajna, is to have understanding of Ultimate Reality.

The Gold Dimensions, Sephirot
The Gold Forms the Tree of Life

The Tree of Life amongst

 A thousand Broken Mirrors.

When Cain murdered his brother, Able, his Soul was said to be split into seemingly infinite negative manifestations, as a result of what he did. It created the EGO, false self. To act on the dark desires, is to choose illusion and suffering. The Shadow, is only a shadow. No matter how dark and frightening it may be.
It disappears with Light.

The Soul is only ever one, though infinite, and one of the Infinite All, as All is a part of the One.

Other negative Manifestations are Ego, Illusions, Mirrors.
To break a thousand Mirrors, is to Awaken from Maya- Illusion. Tear down all the illusions and veils of the Soul and hear it directly.
 It is piercing Clarity and Understanding of Reality. 

Understanding True Will.

The Infinite

 Married with the Infinite ALL.

Particles wed, with all things in one moment, infinite limitless space, and bearing no consequence of travel or time.

Dante and Beatrice 

Divinity and Creation

Marriage of Consciousness
Unity

Paradise is a Garden, a Beautiful Garden. Souls are born, they grow, bloom, flourish, dance, breath in ecstasy and, eventually, they once again begin to inhale back into the earth..........their petals slowly drop, they become one with the earth again, into the womb of paradise, ready to be born and exhale again.

 The Petals of Our Chakras, work the same as petals on flowers in a Garden.
 Birth is our great Exhale- the Great Grandeur of Existence, Growth and Bloom of Life...and eventually ......... there is our Inhalation, soft disintegration, petals falling, return to the Womb from which we were born. Like a flower disintegrates and returns to the earth.

 Then when we are ready, The same flower grows again.
New Life, Birth, Exhalation again...

Love, Life and Ecstasy

Garden- Earthly Paradise

As described in the Divine Comedy, Dante would see Paradiso Twice, both while he was alive and when he was to die.

Paradiso, Heaven, is to be experienced in this lifetime, on earth while alive. Heaven is a higher Dimension than mundanely perceived reality, as Hell is a Shadow of mundanely perceived reality.

Rising through the Heavenly Spheres, Dante reaches an Enormous Rose, which symbolises Love. All the Souls in Heaven, in Paradise, have their home in this Rose. Angels Fly around the Rose like Bees.  Dante's Love and Guide Beatrice, returns to her place in the Rose, and Dante is directly connected with the Infinite All.

Letter Hei.

In the painting are my Grandparents Edna and John Frater, and my beautiful Cat Hendrix.

Like the lark that soars in the air, first singing, then silent, content with the last sweetness that satiates it, such seemed to me that image, the imprint of the Eternal Pleasure.
