Start for freeThe Second Gate of Creation: Libra's Portal
As we continue our journey through the 12 Gates of Creation, we find ourselves at the second portal - the Gate of Libra. This gate, associated with Mother Mary and guided by Mother Anna, offers us a unique opportunity to delve deeper into our inner world and align more closely with our soul's purpose.
Understanding the 12 Gates of Creation
Unlike the seven days of creation, the 12 Gates of Creation work with the frequencies of the zodiac. This represents a more mature approach to our life's journey, especially as we progress through the solar journey on the zodiacal wheel. These gates are intricately connected with the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 apostles, weaving together a rich tapestry of spiritual significance.
The Gnostic Christmas and Zodiac Activation
During these 12 Days of Christmas, we're not just celebrating in the traditional sense. We're working with the Gnostic Christmas - the true Christmas - and activating the Zodiac wheel in its entirety. This process serves as an energetic primer, setting the stage for a beautiful solar year ahead.
By activating these seeds of creation now, we're preparing ourselves for the lunar cycles that will follow. This preparation allows our spiritual essence (SE) to bloom and flourish, bringing forth what we're truly meant to manifest in this world.
The Christmas Tree as a Symbol of the Tree of Life
When we think of Christmas, the image of a decorated Christmas tree often comes to mind. However, this symbol holds a deeper spiritual meaning. In the context of the Garden of Eden, there were two trees - the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the Tree of Life. The Christmas tree we decorate represents the activation of the true Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life is a template for our soul, found in various mythologies and spiritual traditions. In the goddess Kabbalah, it's represented by different sephirot or spheres. When we decorate a Christmas tree with lights, we're symbolically illuminating these different aspects of our spiritual being.
The presents placed beneath the tree symbolize the gifts we receive when our inner Tree of Life is fully illuminated - abundance, gratitude, miracles, and blessings. This area at the base of the tree corresponds to Malkuth, the earthly realm where we incarnate.
Libra: The Portal of Harmony
Libra, the focus of this second day of creation, holds a powerful teaching known as the Shekinah - the spiritual beauty that awakens within us when there's harmony in our life. As we enter this portal, we're invited to expand and activate harmony in all aspects of our being:
- Physical Harmony
- Inner Harmony
- Emotional Harmony
- Spiritual Harmony
- Mental Harmony
The Letter Lamed and Elevation
The Hebrew letter associated with Libra is Lamed, symbolizing elevation. This letter teaches us to have faith and trust in the divine feminine, represented by Mother Anna and Mother Mary. By connecting with this energy, we can release and relax, trusting that we are held and supported by the Divine Mother.
A physical practice to embody this concept involves raising your arm high, tilting your head back, and allowing yourself to relax into the posture. This act of surrender can help you feel the connection to the divine and the elevation of your spirit.
The Prince of Peace and Divine Government
Isaiah 9:6-7 speaks of a child to be born, a son to be given, upon whose shoulders the government will rest. This prophecy, often associated with Jesus (Yeshua), describes him as the Prince of Peace, whose dominion will be vast and whose prosperity will never end.
This concept of "government on his shoulders" extends beyond political structures. It refers to a form of self-governance and spiritual authority that can discern the limits of energy and influence.
Understanding Lilith in this Context
In this particular spiritual stream, Lilith is viewed as a force of destruction, contrasting with Eve as the mother of creation. Lilith represents the dark forces that oppose the light, symbolizing unpurified sexual energy and destructive tendencies.
Historically, Lilith bowls were used in ancient Babylonian and Sumerian practices to remove dark energies. While other traditions may view Lilith differently, in this context, she represents the opposition to the lineage of light and truth.
The Spiritual Whip and Self-Governance
The letter Lamed also symbolizes a spiritual whip. On this day of creation, we're called to extend our spiritual whip and use it to combat our negative tendencies. This practice involves:
- Recognizing destructive thoughts or behaviors
- Mentally "whipping" them away
- Allowing unconditional love to bubble up in their place
This practice of self-governance helps us remember our true nature as the light of creation. By clearing away negative influences, we allow our inner teacher to awaken and our truth to be expressed in the external world.
The Mantra: "Ana Rahem"
The mantra for this day is "Ana Rahem," which translates to "I am the love of the Divine Mother." This phrase encapsulates the unconditional love of the Divine Mother, going beyond physical manifestation to encompass a love that transcends all boundaries.
Practicing this mantra helps us embody the essence of pure, unconditional love. It's not about saying "I love you" to others, but about becoming the very condition of love itself - loving the unfinished, the finished, and everything in between.
The Tribe of Asher and Abundance
The second creation code is associated with the tribe of Asher, who lived in northern Israel near Phoenicia (modern-day Lebanon). Their symbol is the olive tree, representing pure abundance in all its forms:
- Abundance in resources
- Abundance in blood (vitality)
- Abundance in breath (life force)
- Abundance in wealth
- Abundance in light
- Abundance in fertility
Genesis describes Asher's blessings, saying "Asher's food will be rich; he will provide delicacies fit for a king." This tribe is known for wealth and prosperity due to the fertile land they inhabited.
The Apostle Nathaniel
The apostle associated with this gate is Nathaniel (also known as Bartholomew). He was a missionary who took the teachings of Jesus to Asia, particularly Turkey. Tragically, he was martyred in Armenia for his preaching.
This connection reinforces the importance of protecting and nurturing the seeds of creation that we're working with during these 12 days. It reminds us of the power and significance of these teachings.
Archangel Raphael: The Divine Healer
The archangel associated with this gate is Raphael, whose name means "God heals" or "Divine Healer." Raphael brings us gifts of healing and shows us how to heal through love and joy. Working with Raphael can help us:
- Use the Lamed to "whip away" negative influences
- Return to our divine source
- Identify what needs healing in our lives
- Restore harmony to our physical bodies
Raphael's energy can be particularly helpful in addressing physical ailments, as disease often occurs when cells are in disharmony or disconnected from the whole.
Practical Application: The Myrrh Ceremony
To fully embody the energies of this gate, you can perform a myrrh ceremony. If you have myrrh oil mixed with olive oil, follow these steps:
- Activate the oil (if you know how; if not, simply set an intention)
- Imagine sitting under an olive tree, connecting with the energy of prophecy and inspiration
- Anoint your feet and head with the oil
- As you anoint yourself, invoke the energy of "Ana Rahem" or recite The Magnificat
- Visualize the inner creative waters holding the seed of your divine purpose
- Connect with the mental clarity associated with Libra
Remember, Libra energy is mentally balanced, allowing for clear discernment. Use this energy to protect your inner seed of creation and make choices that align with your highest good.
Embracing Abundance
This second day of creation calls us to embrace abundance in all its forms. Consider ways to activate abundance in your life:
- Purchase a new candle or some flowers
- Declutter your space to create more room for abundance
- Say no to commitments that don't serve you, creating abundance of time
- Spend time in nature, connecting with the abundance of the natural world
Remember, abundance doesn't always require spending money. It's about cultivating a feeling of richness and fullness in your life.
Conclusion: Integrating Libra's Lessons
As we move through this second gate of creation, we're called to embrace the harmony, balance, and abundance that Libra represents. By working with the energies of the Divine Mother, the tribe of Asher, and Archangel Raphael, we can cultivate a deeper sense of inner peace and alignment with our soul's purpose.
Remember to use your spiritual whip to clear away negative influences, practice the "Ana Rahem" mantra to embody divine love, and seek ways to invite more abundance into your life. As you do so, you'll be laying a strong foundation for the remaining gates of creation and setting the stage for a truly transformative year ahead.
May your journey through this gate be filled with harmony, love, and the sweet abundance of the olive tree. Trust in the process, knowing that you are held and supported by the Divine Mother every step of the way.
