I.

I went about the task of resolving the elemental conception of the Eastern

Medicine Paradigm, with the elemental conception of Hermetic andQabalistic thought in terms of The Tree of Life. Once my understanding of

the elements had been retooled, I then turned my attention to working out a

satisfactory system of attributions, relating and assigning each of the 12 signs

of the zodiac to the 12 meridians of the human body. We will begin by

retooling our understanding of the pentagram.

What I feel is important is that the Eastern Medicine paradigm understands

the elements in terms of health and the human body. If we can somehow align

our conceptions of Hermetic and Qabalistic elemental theory with the

principles of energy circulation of the human body, we are working with a

much deeper and more true to life conception of the elements. The first thing

we will do is go over a brief understanding of how the Eastern MedicineParadigm, and the subsequent pentagram, represents a model of control

(called the constraining cycle), as well as a perfect representation of

Tetragrammaton (called the generative cycle). We will need to understand

Tetragrammaton as revolving, or self-generating, as Crowley conceived of it.

The Eastern Medicine Paradigm formulates 5 elements: Fire, Water, Earth,

Wood, and Metal. The following interaction of these elements describes thegenerative cycle.

Fire Generates Earth by Burning Wood. The ashes becomepart of the soil.

Earth Generates Metal. We find polished Metals deepbeneath the surface of the Earth.

Metal Generates Water. The minerals inside of rockssweat to create Water. What is important here is the

idea of a Rock, or stone, being the union of Earth andMetal.

Water Generates Wood and other things that burn,making possible Fire.

Using the following conversion table, we will gain a basic understanding of

how the Generative Cycle of the Eastern Medicine Paradigm is analogous with

Tetragrammaton.

Table 1

The correspondences are not exact. We are dealing with two different

scales of measurement, as when we compare the temperature scales of Celsius

and Fahrenheit. Table 1 is used to provide a theoretical basis for comparison.

Using Table 1, begin with Hermetic Earth, and the Qabalistic Daughter, The

Heh Final of Tetragrammaton. The table reveals that these elemental

principles are similar to Eastern Medicine Paradigm Metal. If we refer to the

Eastern Medicine generative cycle, we see that Metal and Earth need to unite

to create Water. In Qabalistic Terms we say, The Heh final Daughter

(Hermetic Earth), must unite with Vau the Son (Hermetic Air), so she can beset upon the throne of the Mother (Hermetic Water). There is an

interesting Alchemical similarity in the phrase Visita Interiora Terrae

Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem. The hidden stone in the

interior parts of the earth is the same sweating stone in our Eastern

Medicine Paradigm. After creating Water in the Eastern Medicine system, the

Water generates Wood. In Qabalistic language: the daughter, having been set

upon the throne of the Mother, Awakens the Eld of the all father. Hence,

Wood. Fire then burns Wood as Passion burns up desire, giving birth to theEastern Medicine Earth, Hermetic Air, and the Qabalistic Vau/Son of

Tetragrammaton (see Table 1). The Son in turn creates the Heh final

Daughter, Hermetic Earth, and the Eastern Medicine Metal. Thus, the Eastern

Medicine generative cycle of the elements is Tetragrammaton

Next, we will look at the Eastern Medicine Constraining Cycle. We will

give the common Eastern Medicine axioms, as well as provide generic axiomsusing our conversion table from above to gain once again a simple

understanding of the correlation. I will repeat that these correlations are

being used as a basis of understanding only, the eastern and western

conceptions express different aspects of a whole energy, just as Celsius and

Fahrenheit are different ways of expressing the one concept of temperature.

Eastern Medicine Wood Controls Earth Trees sustain themselves by

drawing nutrients from the soil.

Hermetic Science Spirit Controls Air As it is said when the spirit

moves you.

Eastern Medicine Metal Controls Wood As in taking an Axe, orchainsaw, to a tree.

Hermetic Science Earth Controls Spirit Through the use of Free Will,

we cause spirit to indwell on (in) the earth.

Eastern Medicine/Hermetic Science Water Controls Fire The secret of

firefighting for centuries.

Eastern Medicine Fire Controls Metal As in forging a sword.

Hermetic Science Fire Controls Earth The popular system of warfare.

Eastern Medicine Earth Controls Water Earth absorbs Water.

Hermetic Science Air Controls Water Use the air to fill your sails, use

air pressure to pump water, use the air to fly over theoceans.

Tetragrammaton flows in a clockwise direction around the outside, and the

constraining/controlling cycle forms the pentagram in the middle of the

circle. In ritual work, Banishing an element; for example Fire; is really a

matter of invoking Water to Control Fire. So, to banish Fire, start and endthe Pentagram with Water. When you want to invoke or evoke Fire, start and

end the pentagram with Fire, passing its controlling element just before youcomplete the invocation. The emphasis is on invoking a controlled and

balanced (integrated) manifestation of the element by using its controlling

principle just before the element is called in or called forth.

Later, because the two elemental systems have a very different emphasis,

being two different systems of measurement, we will create a totally new scaleof measure and rename the elements themselves. For now, we will use our

new understanding to resolve the 12 meridians of the human energy body

with the 12 signs of the western zodiac.

II.

When we use Eastern Medicine Elemental theory to understand the

meridians, a sixth element in the Eastern Medicine Paradigm is used. This

element is called Supplemental Fire. The 12 meridians of the human body

are each named by the internal organ that they govern. A Meridian is easily

thought about like a vein. Veins carry blood, and meridians carry energy.

The energy circulation through these 12 meridians flows in a definite

direction. The order is as follows: Lungs-Large Intestine- Stomach- Spleen-Heart- Small Intestine- Urinary Bladder- Kidneys- Pericardium- Triple

Warmer- Gall Bladder- Liver- Lungs- etc. The 12 meridians are divided into 6

pairs, with each meridian of the pair representing the Yin and Yang aspect ofits element respectively. It is then necessary to divide the 12 signs of the

zodiac in the following way:


6/13

Divide the signs into their Cardinal (beginning), Fixed(maintain), and Mutable (change) Categories. (3

groups of 4 signs, each sign in the group representing

one of the 4 Hermetic elements of Fire, Water, Air, and

Earth)

The Cardinal signs become the Yang Meridians oftheir respective element, using Table 1. (Aries becomes

Yang Fire, Cancer becomes Yang Water, Libra becomes

Yang Earth (as in Eastern Medicine Earth), and

Capricorn becomes Yang Metal)

The fixed signs become the Yin Meridians of theirrespective element, in the same manner as the YangMeridians were assigned their zodiac attributions.

The Mutable signs are first divided into 2 pairs, 2 yang,and 2 yin meridians. Fire and Air (Gemini and

Sagittarius), being the male elements (QabalisticFather and Son) are given to Yang. Water and Earth

(Pisces and Virgo) are given to the Yin Meridians.

Pisces and Sagittarius are Supplemental Fire, Geminiand Virgo are Wood.

This arrangement is summarized in Table 2. What is more important is the

diagram that results when you draw the energy flow of the meridians in its

proper order natural to the human body on the belt of the zodiac. Some

interesting and easily adaptable correspondences are derived when you look

at the sign of the zodiac and its organ attribution. For example, Taurus isrelated to the Lung Meridian, the lungs being the physical organ surrounding

the 4th chakra, or Tiphareth in traditional Qabalah, and Taurus being the

Hebrew letter Vau of Tetragrammaton (Tiphareth). Taurus being the Bull,

which is sacred to Aleph, and the lungs being the organ of breathe etc. etc.

Leo is attributed to the Heart Meridian, the heart of a lion; this attribution

makes easy intuitive sense.

The more knowledge one has about the function of the internal organs in

terms of Eastern Medicine philosophy, the more light can actually be shown

onto the nature of the signs of the zodiac, and their corresponding TarotTrumps. One final interesting connection is Cancer as attributed to the

Urinary Bladder meridian. The Urinary Bladder Meridian is very long, and

hence, has exactly 69 acupressure points that lye along the meridian line.

III.

Now that we have a model for all the meridians in the human body, and

understand how energy flows in the body in terms of western style element

classifications, we can invent a more rational view of the elements by relating

them to the 4 fold classification that modern science uses today. This willelevate our interpretation of the formula from the magic/mythic perspective,

to a more rational interpretation.

Table 3 relates the elements of the Eastern Medicine Paradigm, with the

Hermetic classification and the Qabalistic interpretation, and shows how

NOOS 31 classifies them. We can then use our stargram models to express the

principle of spirit in action (evolution by lover under will, transcend andembrace, Eros and Agape).

The principle 5=6=12 implies a connection and active communication with

the divine psychic being such that all works become a consecration in his

name for the will of the divine. How is this accomplished? Normally, our

minds perception of the world is our guide, but for this work, this perceptionmust be filled with the divine light. If we look at our pentagram when

formulated with the NOOS 31 scale of measurement (Figure 3), we see:

We must look beyond our own perception if we are to find issue from thestruggle of the ignorance of involution that we find ourselves in. The ultimate

purpose being the transmutation of our mind into Kosmic Konsciousness.Before our mind can be thus transmuted, we must fully give over the control

of our lower faculties to this divine mind within us, this spark of the supreme.

We must become one with; awaken as; our holy guardian angel. To effect this

transformation we must turn our attention to the divine light, represented by

figure 4.

IV.

When you denote a diagram as symbolic of something, you empower it as arepresentation of a specific set of ideas in the brain, which are also translated

as experiences in the body. Our purpose in using Stargrams is to program the

brain to access certain sets of symbols in the neo-cortex, thereby producing

very specific types of neuro-peptides associated with the functions the

stargram is symbolic of. These neuro-peptides are the way the brain talks to

the rest of your body by its informational transmission to each cell in your

body, and can also be experienced as a psycho-somatic sensation of Ki energy.

By use of the stargram, we can conduct by conscious choice the orchestra of

energies flowing through our body. Because these energies havecorrespondences in all 4 quadrants of Integral Post-metaphysics, these

stargrams may also be used mentally to stimulate the experience of certain

states of energy circulation in all quadrants.

These stargrams represent a formula of nature. This means an experienceof energy in nature. They are investigated truths, considered truth because

when the subtle body circulates energy based on these principles, we

experience physical health in the physical body. Hence, the mind must

operate by the same principles if we are to expect a full integration of mindand body. The Noosphere must fully embrace the biosphere.

Practicing these stargrams through ritualized personal ceremony will

communicate to the mind the proper circulation of energy, thereby

circulating the mind in complete harmony with nature, of both the inner and

outer worlds, the macrocosm and the microcosm, involution and evolution,

the singular and the plural, emptiness and form, etc. It is when these

stargrams are so well known that they are ingrained into the subconscious

patterning, they will begin to influence the life of the practitioner and bring

about the necessary experiences and teachings which will assist the magicianin his/her mission of transmutation of the gross instruments into a divine

expression of a transcendent existence.

The hands are intimately connected to the brain because they are generally

called upon as a first resort (along with the feet) when confronted with acommand to act. By moving our hands and focusing on the patterns we

envision to have created with their movement, we can then experience in our

mental sphere and brain the energy flow of the imaginary model. This is

important. Sri Aurobindo defines status of knowledge as: A Supramental

Realization which is prepared by mental representatives through various

mental principles in us and once attained again reflects more perfectly in allthe members of our being.

Through use of these stargrams in a prayer, ritual, magickal, or other

practice setting, we affirm our understanding of the universe in a way that isin harmonious principle with the healthy energy flow of our bodies.
