in okay so but today we’re talking about the eye of odin the sacrifice specifically of the eye we’re also going to look at its correlation with the full journey of the ultimate sacrifice in the nine nights and nine days uh as odin sacrifices himself to unto himself we’re going to look at the correspondence between shiva and we’re also going to be looking at what this actually means as a method to liberate your own soul in the process of personal soul retrieval i’m adam knox and remember to live deliciously [Music] [Music] there’s many mythologies and many historical stories that i think captures a lot of our attention especially for those of us in the mystical and magical paths and very few of them is as enduring and as is mixed with controversy as that of odin odin the all father uh is one of these essential archetypes the famous psychologist carl young was a famed supporter of a lot of the nordic ideas himself having germanic descent in fact many believe that he went quite a long way to impress these ideas inside of his work his philosophy along with a couple of other modern interpretations allows us to see the nature of the organic consciousness and it’s very interesting how a lot of its prefabricated ideas or early levels of manifestation were oftentimes misassociated to things like nazism and racism and all of these things and in light of recent events in the white house uh during the american election even more plagiarized where many i think true cultists were deeply offended by the people that broke the law in many ways sporting you know the sporting nordic ideas which didn’t really represent the philosophy and possibly not even truly understood the culture in fact myself and many other practitioners of the magical part felt that it was a setback and an insult in many ways to see these people blatantly point out symbols and wear them in protest in ways that they do not understand their origin and meaning in fact many people will look at the mystical path magical path and make very quick assumptions due to their propaganda due to their lack of information more than their true search this is why people like yourself i think are in the 10 percent you are the rare few free thinkers that is obsessed with finding the real information and getting the real solutions so let’s dive into a little bit of that now there are many ways to interpret aspects of the myth of odin and there are many lessons that we can glean from the journey first thing that i love the most is that it wasn’t the most regular there’s no point in these ancient parts where the gods are being made out to be holier than thou they may have more powers or more abilities or more knowledge or more immortality but they’re still human in many kind of ways they’re amongst us they are like us in certain ways and i think it is because of our personal relationships and the metaphors that we can take from many of these stories many of these ideas the nordic witch herself shares in her youtube channel a story about how odin himself has to suffer and how he speaks in the havamal about the suffering of the greatest sickness is the one where we lose the will to live and i think this is such a powerful idea and such a core concept because it is one of the biggest struggles not just for occultists but for many for a cultist it may be more common because one finds oneself at the age of the intellectual palette you are not simply as a true qualities feasting on superstition mythology and ancient rites and hidden secrets but you are at the cusp of exploring science and technology and you’re yet able to hold contradicting ideas inside of your mind without feeling obliged to choose one or the other without further investigation and experimentation but understanding the place and the possibility of both your capacity to do that can sometimes dull you to the experiences of life in fact it’s one of the classic faustian ideas how there’s these many interpretations of the story of fast and one of its more rooted ideas was not uh that the devil was tempting the soul of dr faustus but instead that vastus made the agreement the idea very much like dee in certain ways to say if you could give me something of true or true beauty then i will go gladly with you and it is this sense of awe the sense of beauty that we find ourselves longing for and i find that this is such an essential thing when we look at however our soul gets broken our life our journey gets broken because this happens to each and every one of us we come into the world smiling or screaming children but we’re very soon enchanted by the beauty of life and the possibility and the wonder we’re caught up in the beauty because we’re so enriched of our soul before it gets tainted before parts of it get broken that first time your parents scolded you and you didn’t really do anything wrong but they were in a bad mood and you were too young to understand what to do with this and they maybe didn’t have enough emotional and psychological resources in order to help you with that to that first breakup you know that embarrassing moment at school that you know being rejected whatever it was whatever you did as a result of these things slowly and systemically fractured your beauty and we find our beauty then lost in other people and in memories and in projections of the future because we’re either looking at the past because of where we felt beautiful and longing to have our beauty back thinking it’s that person that place that time thing or even or we’re projected that we’ve gotten so much shame attached to us that we’re projecting in the future someday when or when if whatever then then i’ll have and many people understand this intellectually but still do this emotionally many of us no matter how long you’ve been on the path it’s very easy to succumb to this and you’re a fool if you think that you’re immune to it i love the work of robert greene in the area of our nature where he speaks and identifies that these laws of human nature is not something that you’re immune to understanding it doesn’t make you immune to it sometimes you know knowledge is not in and of itself a cure knowledge is in and of itself a guide to the probability of a cure but it’s only through walking the way like odin going on the quest of knowledge going on the search that one makes it but there is this beautiful component of the journey of odin and there are many essential components i think that we can glean from that and to really go into it will take volumes and lectures and details and by the way there is selfless plug an entire module dedicated to it in the in the cult of view but you know that aside there are two key points inside of the journey that i would like us to focus on today it is the sacrifice of the eye of odin because that’s the first part right he has to sacrifice his eye for the attainment of knowledge and then further down the road he sacrifices himself to himself for the knowledge of the runes i think there’s so much beauty here there’s so much deep profound meaning that is often overlooked when we look at these simple points of the mythology let’s first start with the most basic of this understanding and or the biggest event inside of this which is a culmination to the ideas but i think it’ll help us illustrate the initial point a little bit better odin sacrifices himself on the life tree for nine days and nine nights nine according to the sciences of numbers allows us to recognize the number of man now firstly we see nine cropping up in every single aspect of the path the secret name of god the shema methoras is 72 letters and 72 names 7 plus 2 is 9. the goesha the counter if you will to the shema is also obviously 72 also again equating to 9. even the beast the beast itself 666 again boils down to nine nine is the number of man nine is often times attributed to in the tree of life and upon our bodies to yes the sephiroth of yesod or its counter gamma lil it’s interesting that we find attributed to this position inside of the tree side of the tree the gateway into the astral the gateway into the unconscious the cave of lilith the cave of the subconscious mind the doorway of our sexuality and it’s because at the root of our identity sets our sexual identity now one can very easily confuse the notion when an occultist or a magician would say that all things are sexual even freud himself postulated the idea that everything was driven by this sexual impulse and crowley himself identifies the concept is when men man realize that god is sex and sex is god that liberation begins it is in that recognition that he’s speaking of here as the tetragrammaton the holy four-lettered name of god the these four ideas that represent the four elemental dimensions of our songs the four sheath of the body the four archetypes of the sovereign magician warrior lover the four attachment styles all these aspects of our nature which is the result of our relationship with signals of pleasure or love and signals of pain or fear our yin yang of influence the duality by which we find ourselves subjugated to reality it is this duality that creates the attachment biochemically inside of our body that produces the hallucination of me my sense of self is the result of my attachment it is what i avoid what i’m trying to disassociate from or move away from is the nlp term and what i want to move towards is the nlp term whereas tony robbins says the pain and the pleasure or is the you know bible says the heaven and the howl the ying and the yang these dualities that are consistently affecting our drive and one of the core ideas in the occult principles and the spiritual traditions is the resolution of duality deepak chopra talks about in these seven spiritual laws of love that the first law is to be natural and to be natural which is the key behind traction is to accept one’s duality to not try and make amends for your imperfections but to embrace them to see their beauty and to allow that and even if you decide to work on it to improve it you still don’t do it because you’re rejecting it you’re still not separating yourself further from self and causing further incongruences in fact you are reaching a deeper state of congruence and i think this is so pertinent because we see the sacrifice of odin on the tree of life and the tree of life can be very much seen as the structure the blueprint upon which identity is created he sacrifices himself unto himself as a way of saying i am sacrificing my current persona my current hallucinated model of self that’s come as a result of this duality as a result of what i’m attached to through pain and through pleasure you know in order to myself to sacrifice it to myself as as christ would give it unto his father as you know so many others you know again would have to go through this journey jesus sacrifices himself or is sacrificed and dies before he is resurrected in in the right hand myth in essence both archetypes descend beneath the persona beneath the ego mind beneath the false self to reach its roots the origin stories of these components in order to dismantle and change from that science this is so powerful i think is a core idea and it’s echoed again in the work of joe dispenza joda spenza’s work has a very nice catch phrase to it he says personality creates personal reality and i think it brings these mythical ideas back down to something practical and that’s the core concept here it is when we recognize the roots of the personality and this is more than just oh your behavior changes this is literally your brain changes your neurological structure in your brain changes meaning you access different things from the inner mind you access different things from the universe or from god or from whatever you want to call it and you start to unlock more of this as odin himself then through this process of sacrifice descends down the tree and comes up with the knowledge of the runes the 24 runes this is great this is so powerful because i think it tops back into what we spoke about previously in the doctrine of death you see in the doctrine of death we identified that kali is in and of herself time and we spoke about how necessary it is when these infinite concepts of consciousness these deep dreams of our world and our life needs to be brought down into doable actionable steps we need to recognize the value of time and not be wasting it as napoleon’s heel in um outwitting the devil points out that you know the devil in that mythology is us losing presence our skiing being caught up in the daydream and not actioning where are you not actioning what are the components of the persona of the personality that’s preventing you from developing the true will and executing on the vision that you’ve been receiving through your rituals your meditations and your prayers and your spiritual work because this is the idea that a lot of people don’t get of magic it’s when we go into the ceremony you go into the sacred work it’s not boom suddenly everything’s done for you no not maybe but most of the times no it is often a case that a great inspiration or a great idea comes but then you have to go and you have to go work and evolve yourself transmute self die to the current self you need to sacrifice yourself unto yourself in order to do the work to cultivate the true world to bring to ground this grand vision into reality through action now there’s a there’s a great phrase in the in the afrikaans tradition where the concept of even christ was referred to as the dardessy and the son of action and this notion is great because it’s this concept that the divine is only grounded through action and if you’re not taking action that you’re not getting the result in fact that’s part of the beauty there’s this philosophy of the law of attraction that says oh i need to feel good and feel if it doesn’t feel good don’t do it look you’re never going to feel good about getting out of bed at 5 00 am you know it’s just not gonna happen you know you’re not gonna feel good when you’re sitting and relaxing and it’s time to go to the gym but when you’re doing it oh then you feel good that comes afterwards so if we’re gonna be judging ourselves based upon our feel good we’re gonna lose the game completely that’s not what is meant what is meant is when it’s ground in your identity it’s ground in who you are because it’s who i am i will get up and i will do that 5 8 5 30 meditation every single day no matter what happens no matter how tired i am because i’m cultivating my will my strength my power now here is though the big question and this is the next part and that’s why i stamped earlier and i said you know we’re going to look back to the other part about the sacrifice of the eye it is oftentimes depicted to the eyes that one is almost looking in the future and one is looking to the past it’s the uh concept of juno of younos which one face looks to the past one to the to the future and one to the present these three points but it’s very common that we experience these two and then we see the depiction of the centaur with a singular eye we see the eyes shiva the singular eye of destruction we see the mind’s eye all these depictions all these ideas come back to highlight to us a very fundamental concept why don’t you want to get out of bed that morning you know why why are you staying in longer than you should you see before we can get to that state of sacrificing ourselves for ourselves we need to begin with these systematic portions of the journey you know that odin takes us through these lessons that are embedded inside of it he sacrifices the eye for knowledge for for gnosis every problem in spirituality can oftentimes be traced back maybe not everyone a lot of problems in our spirituality can be traced back by the fact that we live in our past and how do you live in your past a great example of this is in the tree of life and in the tree of life when we raise up the tree of life we come to tifaret and in tifaret there’s many translations or ideas and concepts attributed to this and my favorite is the attribution of beauty and the attribution of imagination different is the beauty because different represents very much the higher self in that sense or at least in the at least the solar self if we will and by representing the solar self we find this the part of ourselves that gets fragmented now remember we started off this journey and we talked about you know how mommy and daddy did something wrong and it started fragmenting you know a relationship broke it started fragmenting this is our own clip-off this is the light that comes in and the current sephiroth isn’t strong enough to handle it so it shatters and the cleat path is created but the clip power even it has the friction and everything inside of it and its root is still the need to suit in other words that initial light is still inside there our job is to go in and to retrieve it not wallow in it you know not i’m a black magician no it’s go into it transmute the darkness unlock its power and lock its light and then re-integrate the portion finish the journey it’s a journey it’s not just a get stuck in one spot the lesson is so beautifully put in the sacrifice of the eye you see because when the when one eye is sacrificed and we have left with only one eye we need to look at what’s right in front of us we can’t be daydreaming off into the future off into the past we are forced almost to become completely present when there’s this phrase that says there were this this idea that when certain sentences are lost for example if your sight is lost suddenly your hearing improves because you’re you’re wasting less time and that energy i want you to think of that eye as you looking to your past and i want you to think about where in your past or even where in your future is your beauty now i’m not saying that you you stop seeing you know stop having great memories and i’m not saying you stop having great goals i am saying though that you start recognizing that based upon the principles of vibration unless you’re going to start resonating with the thing you seek you are not going to find it and this is at least a philosophy we can all agree on at some level or another whether you’re saying that it’s true from a quantum mechanical point of view it’s true from a spiritual point of view or it’s simply true from a behavioral science point of view if you’re going to act like an [ __ ] you’re not going to find love or you’re at least you’re not going to attract the right kind of people in your life if you’re going to vibrate and behave in an empowering way you’re going to attract the right people if we give up our eye it means that we give up looking to the past for our beauty looking to the future for our beauty and this is very important in terms of spirituality as well because how many of us do that when i get that initiation or i get that degree or i get that then i’ll have then i’ll be when i get that goal then i’ll be then i’ll have it’s the same as putting your power inside of other people and go like if they act a certain way then i’ll feel a certain thing feeling lost and spiraling down a rabbit hole where you’re always going to be in reaction and never really in response in other words never really inside your own self never really accessing your own godhood and able to unlock its wisdom its knowledge its notice for that moment because you have lost as eckhart tolle says presence you are outside of the presence that was his definition of the spiritual eternal now but how do we do that how do we sacrifice because it’s an elusive obvious you don’t even know that you’re sometimes doing it if you have gone through a breakup recently and or at any point and you still find yourself thinking back about the x that’s not because the x was so wonderful you know if the x was so wonderful they would still be in your life if the company if it was a company or a job that was still so what it would still be in your life if it was a position maybe it was your health maybe it was your fitness maybe it was something else if that was still so wonderful that was truly your destiny truly your beauty it would still be here the reason you miss it is because your beauty which is you which is your teeth for it which is your soul is stuck in there you have infused it and this is a process of anchoring you see we anchor neurologically this is how we build up this identity this version of ourselves in our head we simply go we’re in a peak emotional state and whatever happens around us at that point you that is unique we link up is the same thing now when you’re in a relationship or in a business and you’re in peak emotional states when you’re in your beauty that person is around that places around those people around they link up your brain merges the two so when that’s gone you feel like a part of you is gone because it is you have left your beauty inside of that you need to give up that eye you need to give up because that’s what what is the i do the i seeks beauty it looks for beauty in other words it looks for yourself because you are the source of your beauty you are the source of that which you seek in life your partner isn’t the beauty you may make them beautiful but it’s they’re beautiful because of you because of the eyes through which you see them if you were tainted and too damaged you wouldn’t see that beauty and you would never experience it how many people would you die to be with but there’s someone that treats them like crap that doesn’t see their value that’s because that person’s not putting their beauty in them same thing with futures what futures are just so amazing to you that you know other people would scoff at and what is something you’d scoff at that other people would kill for we all have countless examples of this beauty is in the eye of the beholder but it’s about learning to understand where we have gotten misattached where we are trying to move forward but we’re looking back without realizing it and sacrificing the eye when we sacrifice the eye we recognize part of the teachings and the idea of the eye of shiva and in the eye of shiva we recognize that through the eye of shiva all of time and space is destroyed why time and space because attachment is when we have anchored against an event or a person or a place or a timer thing that is inside that is measured inside of time and space this is literally because it’s how the neocortex functions joe despain’s work goes in dipped around this idea so you know if you’re not joining the cult now then please at least pick up one of his books and have a look at the breaking undoing the habit of being yourself a very well recommended piece of reading to help you deepen your understanding about the subject even further now what i want to leave you with is a little bit of a map a little bit of a what now you understand now that you know the mystery of odin is the secret teaching about sacrificing ourselves that the limit of our access to our knowledge our mastery over time and our ability to do our well is very much our attachments our old self our limited self and you understand now that the biggest cause of that the biggest struggle of that is because we’re constantly looking at the past we’re constantly looking to the future for our beauty if your beauty is stuck in the past or stuck in the future now i recommend doing soul travel or soul retrieval work in order to really unlock that and in fact very soon i’m going to be releasing a talk with a really good friend of mine an amazing amazing man and sorcerer i’m going to give you a hint his name is enoch he’s written a book the black witch him and i speak quite in depth about the subject of soul retrieval and mental health in the occult world and i really recommend you you listen to that if you’re serious about your path and we discuss these values but one of the core ideas and one of the core concepts that comes through in that talk as well as well you’ll realize when you recognize and i want to kind of impart this one to you now though is that the only reason the past or the pure or the future is so beautiful is because of your projection inside of it because you accessed in a moment your beauty a state of beauty within you which we can call your soul and you linked it through repetition to that past or that future that person that place that time that thing or event and i’m not telling you to let go and give that up but i am telling you that you will suffer as long and you’ll be stuck this is why you’re not taking action this is why you’re not following through because you’re look you’re you’ve got mixed emotions mixed meanings of what it’ll mean if you know that the action that you need to take will lead you to true beauty and is your true beauty this is purity this is the fundamental principle of occult purity a cult parody doesn’t mean that you stop drinking and stop having sex heck we’re not that path it means that you have unlocked the singular eye you have a single purpose a single beauty so you see where you’ve been you see you look back at your life in your past and you see the beauty of the people that have been in it in the moments that you’ve had but you recognize that that beauty was you you look at the future and where you’re going what you’re going to create and the journeys that you’re going to take but you realize you are that beauty that you’re after and then you begin to believe in your own beauty and you begin to truly see yourself as beautiful how many people suffer from this magician or muggle you know how many women how many men suffer that they don’t want to go into places and people because they don’t think that they’re enough they don’t want to take on those challenges in those dreams because they don’t think they’re enough to do it you know they don’t have enough resources they don’t have enough time they don’t have enough most psychological problems that lead to mental imbalances issues with mental health that lead to physical illnesses oftentimes as well is the result of us thinking we are fundamentally not enough not good enough not pretty enough not whatever the enough is and this is because what we have done is we have placed our fundamental beauty outside of our own house and we are trained in society to go begging for it you know you have to earn a living you have to prove your worth i’m not saying that you shouldn’t earn i’m not saying that you shouldn’t push and prove but i am saying that if you love your body and you enjoy seeing it grow you have emotional fuel if you look at your body as you know a failure if you look at yourself as a failure you’re losing emotional fuel there’s a fundamental attitude difference here in the one you’re not good enough and you’re purely driven by pain that may really motivate you at first and it’s good to use that to keep yourself going to the next level but it’s one that ultimately drains you if on the other hand you see yourself as resourceful you see yourself as beautiful you see yourself as good enough as capable suddenly you have the feel the energy in order to do it when you face your challenges and you go i’m never going to be able to do this i don’t have that and you look at other people like they’re the beauty in other words they’re bitter they’re more capable they’ve got everything sorted out all you’re doing is you’re focusing not on them you’re focusing on your own lack of it you’re focusing on your ugly and not in your beauty i want you to listen to me very carefully in fact i don’t want you to listen to me at all i want you to listen to your heart because it’s not wrong even though it might have led you in times in journeys that have ended up in heartache and in pain it’s not a bad heart you don’t have to hide it anymore the parts where you had faith we had secret dreams and secret hopes and it failed and you got old or you made mistakes no you don’t go and walk into a gym and go work your biceps or your abs your back or your muscles whatever and then the next day their sores hick and go woof clearly that is law of attraction telling me i should never go back to the gym you understand that that hurt that pain is a sign of growth so when you extract your beauty from the environment and from people places times and things and you claim it back when you start retrieving your soul there’s gonna be hurt that doesn’t mean your heart was wrong it means it had to go through those breaks in order to become strong you had to go through your own clip i your own tree of death and you will still go through it many many times as long as you are alive on this planet because that is how you grow that is how you expand to become a more powerful being and the more greater your vision is the more you’re going to have to overcome not because that’s the that’s what it costs in order to strengthen steel to become a sword that is what it takes to become the magi that is what it takes and you wouldn’t have been on that path if you weren’t capable of it but the reason you don’t see your capacity is because you’re looking with the other eye that needs to be sacrificed for the gnosis you need to stop looking at your past longing for the future you need to stop wishing for how good things were or wishing you could get to something better and away from the pain you’re experiencing now stop doing that take back that part of you retrieve your soul bring it back into this moment become present again find out what’s distracting you give that up sacrifice that to the all father sacrifice that in your ritual sacrifice your lie until you realize the truth that you you’re the beauty that this world needs show up show up completely and let us see you but we can only do that when you see you because we want to hear your story i’m adam knox and remember
