The Merkaba.pdfSaved to Dropbox Jun 27, 2018 at 5?57 PMThe MerkabaAncient mystical traditions (such as the Kabbalah), and contemporary channelled information (such as the “Keys of Enoch”) speak of the Merkaba as a vehicle for inter-dimensionaltravel. As we approach the moment of the Shift, formerly secret teachings about the Merkaba are coming to light. Is it possible to create a living Merkaba field through meditation?Does such a field facilitate communication with your higher self? Is the Merkaba a means of Ascension?Contents:Pranic BreathingThe MerkabaThe Merkaba in the BibleMerkaba MeditationTHE MERKABAThe word Merkaba is made up of three smaller words — Mer, Ka, and Ba, which, as we are using them, came from ancient Egyptian texts. It is also pronounced in various languagesas Merkabah, Merkava, and Merkavah. Though there are several pronunciations of the word, generally we can pronounce it as if the three words were separate (i.e., with somewhatequal accents on each syllable).“Mer” refers to a specific kind of light that what understood in Egypt only during the 18thDynasty. It was seen as a two counter-rotating fields of light spinning in the same space,which are generated under certain breathing.“Ka” refers to the individual spirit’s interpretation of its particular reality.In our particular reality, “Ba” is usually defined as the body or physical reality.In other realities where spirits don’t have bodies, Ba refers to their concepts or interpretation of the reality that they bring to them.So, the Merkaba is a counter-rotating field of light that affects spirit and body simultaneously. It is a vehicle that can take spirit and body (or one’s interpretation of reality) from oneworld, or dimension into another. In fact, the Merkaba is much more than this, because it can create reality as well as move through realities. For our purpose here however, we willfocus mainly on its aspect as an interdimensional vehicle (Merkaba means “chariot” in Hebrew), that will help us return to our original higher state of consciousness.Once the Merkaba field around your body is initiated, it will create a disk that extends 55ft out of the base of your spine, which actually looks just like a flying saucer. When you are inthe Merkaba, your thoughts and feelings become thousands of times more powerful. You will also be able to create a magnetic field that will keep your memories intact so that you willbecome immortal. In other words, there will be no break in your memory. Those who are unable to initiate their Merkaba’s will ultimately have their memories and minds erased whenthe magnetic field around the Earth collapses, and they will have to start all over again. You see, it is not exactly like re-incarnation. It is more like unplugging a computer and losing allof the programming.You’ll be able to move through the dimensional levels, but you will lose awareness on the other side. However, certain highly evolved people (two, working together to construct aMerkaba), will be able to bring approximately 150,000 people with them.To be clear, returning to our original state is a natural process which can be easy or difficult according to our belief patterns. However, just becoming involved with the technicalrelationships of the Merkaba, such as correcting our breathing patterns or mentally realizing the infinite connections to all patterns of Life, for example, is not enough. Indeed, there is atleast one other factor that is even more important than the Merkaba itself, and that is the understanding, realization, and living of Divine Love. For it is Divine Love (sometimes referredto as Unconditional Love), that is the primary factor that allows the Merkaba to become a living field of light. Without Divine Love, the Merkaba is just a machine, and this machinewill have limitations that will never allow the spirit that created it to return “home”, and reach the highest levels of consciousness — the place where there are no levels.We must be experiencing and expressing Divine love in order to move beyond a certain dimension (and the world is fast heading toward that higher place!). Indeed, we are movingaway from the place of separatism where we see only ourselves inside the body looking out. That view will be gone soon, to be replaced with a different view of reality, where we’llhave the sense of absolute unity with all life; and that sense will grow more and more as we continue to move upward through each level on our journey HOME.THE MERKABA IN THE BIBLEAlthough “Mer-ka-ba” is usually considered to be an Egyptian word, it also appears in the Hebrew language. In the English versions of the Bible, it is usually translated as “chariot”.The Hebrew letters that spell out the word Mer-ka-ba are Mem-Resh-Caph-Beth, from the root word, Resh-Caph-Beth, meaning to “ride”. Mer-ka-ba, and two related words, mer-kaband re-kev, are usually translated as “chariot”, or sometimes as “wagon”, but they really are equivalent to the English word “vehicle”, or “conveyance”, that is, something that transportyou somewhere. This root has come down in modern Hebrew in the word rakevet, which means “railroad”.Now the story gets more interesting when we remember that the most ancient teaching of the Kabbalah, (i.e., the occult and mystical tradition within Judaism) was the Merkabameditation. The Talmud mentions the Merkaba meditation when it says that Judah the Prince forbade any mention of it in the Mishnah, presumably because it was mystical teaching.However, references to it in the Tosefta, which is kind of a appendix to the Mishnah, as well as some surviving manuscripts point to Merkaba meditation being practised at least as farback as the second century B.C.Although we can only speculate, it appears that Merkaba practitioners combined meditation, prayer, and yogic postures in such a way that they ascended, or descended, in theirMerkaba’s, in their “vehicles”, to realms where they literally saw Angels, celestial halls, and the throne of glory itself. Now one question that comes to mind is, “Where did theKabbalists really go?” The answer would seem to be that, “they travelled to other dimensions of reality.”Both the scientific community, and those of mystical/occult leanings seem to be headed toward a shared understanding that, as far as reality goes, what we see, isn’t all we get, that is,the physical reality that we perceive isn’t the only one that there is. It’s the only one we’re tuned to, and it is increasingly clear that there are other realities, or dimensions of reality, ifyou will, that exist simultaneously in time and space with this one. It is sought of like channels on your TV. If someone said to you, “ My TV doesn’t get SBS, but last night I hooked upa satellite dish and I watched a movie on SBS”, you wouldn’t say to him, “ You only dreamed you watched SBS”, or “You only hallucinated that you watched a movie on SBS”. Wewould accept that the satellite dish allowed him to tune into a wavelength that his TV couldn’t normally receive. In a similar way, the practitioners of the Merkaba meditation, and theprophets as well, I would propose, had mastered an art of tuning into different, and higher, dimensions of reality.
The multi-dimensional nature of reality, as well as the ability to move between dimension, also explains how beings such as angels are able to disappear at will, merely by tuning into,and then out of our dimension of reality. Devas, faerie, and Ufos can be similarly explained. In fact, the Masters teach us that the dimensional levels are separated by a wavelength ( e.g.the 3rd dimension has a wavelength of 7.3 cm), and 90 degrees. You may have heard stories of Ufos striking across the sky, taking a 90 degree turn, and disappearing. The beings on thisUFO have linked together their consciousness, and made a specific change inside of themselves, which happens to be related to this 90 degrees. When they do so through their breathingand their connection, they can make the entire ship disappear, and move into the dimensional level that they tuned to. But let’s get back to the Bible.The most striking example of Merkaba meditation is found in yet another prophetic book, second Kings, in the story of Elijah. Now in the Jewish tradition, Elijah is the most beloved ofall the prophets. A glass of wine for him at the Passover seder, and a chair is set aside for him at ritual circumcision. These symbolic gestures invite Elijah to join in these celebrations.Why is Elijah invited, and not any other figure of the Bible, or Jewish history and legend? Because Jewish tradition holds that it will be Elijah that comes to announce the arrival of theRedemption. In the Gospels, Elijah is mentioned over 24 times (under his Greek name “Elias”), and it is always in this connection. So why does Elijah have this honour? Why notMoses, or King David, who after all, is the root of the line that is supposed to produce the Messiah?Jewish tradition holds that Elijah will be the forerunner of the Messiah because.ELIJAH NEVER DIED!! It says so in the Bible! In the second chapter of the second book of Kings,we read that Elijah, and his disciple Elisha, were on a walking tour of Judah. At Bethel, the brotherhood of prophets came out to greet Elijah, and 50 of the brotherhood follow them tothe ford in the Jordan. Who were those brotherhood of prophets? The Hebrew phrase that describes them is b’naiha-nevi’im, and it appears NOWHERE ELSE in the Bible. This factalone hints at something very special, perhaps these brotherhoods were ancient Jewish mystery schools, akin to the mystery schools of Egypt and Persia, where inter-dimensional travelwas taught.The story continues. Elijah and Elisha cross the Jordan. Suddenly a Merkaba of fire appears, and Elijah disappears in a whirlwind. That is it. On the third dimension of reality, the onewe’re are tuned to, Elijah has disappeared!Now most scholars of the rationalist bent explain these verses in the following way: Elisha had a “vision” of a war chariot of fire, and in his disassociated state, he “imagined”something chaotic (the “whirlwind”), and that this was how he experienced the physical death of his master. Nevertheless, we find something very curious going on with this word“whirlwind”, which indicates, one could believe, that we are dealing here with more than a hallucination.It is known that inter-dimensional travel involves counter-rotating energy fields, vortices if you like, or “whirlwinds” if you are viewing it from the perspective of 850 BC. This detail inthe story supports the notion that Elijah travelled somewhere else. For many people, this seems far-fetched, and so, perhaps one more detail which suggests very strongly that there issome mystery hidden in the story of Elijah’s Ascension. And that is that these two verses, and nowhere else in the Hebrew bible, the word for “whirlwind” is misspelled.For the Masoretic scholars in Tiberius, who fixed the pronunciation of the Hebrew Bible in 900 AD, to have misspelled “whirlwind” in only these two verses, implies that there was anoral tradition that was kept alive since the Babylonian exile, that is, for 1400 years that said, “Spell it s’oroh everywhere else in the Bible, but in these two verses, spell it suh-orah!” Thesurvival of this odd pronunciation, diligently passed on orally from generation to generation, through all of the wanderings and dislocations of the Jewish people, indicates somethingvery special in these verses.Any interpretation of documents and traditions this ancient, it open to question. Nevertheless, it seems obvious that this unbroken tradition of the misspelling of the Hebrew word forwhirlwind is meant to alert us to something very uncanny in this story. Would it be far-fetched to say that this is saying to us: Do not accept that Elisha has a vision of a war chariot offire, and a whirlwind that Elijah seemed to disappear into.Imagine, rather, that Elijah entered a Merkaba, a thought-formed vehicle, and ascended out of our dimension of reality, in counter-rotating fields of energy, the whirlwind, withoutleaving his physical body.In a little-known Kabbalistic text, the Midrash to Proverbs, Rabbi Ishmael says:If there comes before God one who is learned in the Talmud, the Holy One says to him: “My son, since you have studied the Talmud, why have you not also studied the Merkaba, toperceive my splendour? For none of the pleasure I have in my creation is equal to that which is given me when scholars look beyond the Torah and see and behold and meditate on: Mythrone, and the hashmal seen by Ezekial, and the fiery streams under my throne, and the bridges that cross it, and the ofanim [a class of angels], and the gilgalim [another class ofangels]. And is this not my greatness, and My glory and My beauty: that my Children know My splendour by seeing all this?Rabbi Ishmael concludes:And this is what King David meant when he wrote in Psalms: “O Lord, how manifold are thy works!”PRANIC BREATHINGLet’s go back to Atlantis, when things began to fall apart on the dimensional levels. We, at this time, fell from a very high level of consciousness, down, down, down, all the way to thisthird dimensional Earth, which is almost the bottom of the barrel of consciousness, or self awareness. In fact, science tells us that we are the highest beings on the planet, but nothingcould be further from the truth.Indeed, before we fell, we use to breathe in a way that was totally different than today. The air around you is filled with oxygen, hydrogen, carbon-dioxide, and all the trace elements.However, there is something else beside the air that the Hindu’s call “prana”. It is the life-force energy itself. However, prana, unlike air which cannot pass through walls and solidmatter, is able, and does, pass through anything and everything, even great voids—prana is everywhere, and is everything.We used to take air in through our mouths, nose and lungs, but we also took in prana via the top of our head
