Thirty-Two Birthdays

Chronicles of Dreams & Wishes : V

The Assyrians in an early part of history provided a curious understanding of the constituent of the self in their practices. The community assembled thirty-two different idolatry aspects of God and brought it to one place to accommodate it and represent the experience as the house of God.

The Indic, in the first attempt to unify India, reportedly brought together thirty-two separate kingdoms in the continent to form the one self of Bharat that came to be presented as the personality of the Indic experience. They called the collation of such aspects as the sampradaya of the self. Beyond the social circle and state this is today referenced as the component parts of the organization of the individual and the world.

The understanding of this phenomenon continues to be a part of our occult experience in which the passions appear to have some intimation of its meaning. The issue serves our interest today for the concerns we have about physical reality. Human insight appears to suggest that in the experience of the transmigration of the soul, it experiences thirty-two such lives and denizenry in its encounters.

Our thoughts and passions, in the experience of the individual, serve such a circle of our own survival. This brings up the curious notion that at any one time all thirty-two of such lives may be manifest in different parts of the world and the one individual relates to the other through the scopophilia as kin.

As such our experience as one individual in relation to the world contains much that we have yet to discover. Where some part of these is human and others allocated as anima, plants, crystals, divine qualities and new specie, it truly refers to an experience of the world in itself.

In the Bhagavad Gita, the Guru representation of the divine quality is quoted as saying, ' Consider my sacred mystery Arjuna. The world is in me not I in the world.' However it is possible that given thirty-two aspects of the experience of the self, each may report a different version of the experience.

Viewed this way, each part of the experience of the self is a specialization of the skills and knowledge we need, to perfect our evolution to the final specie of being. In a final exercise we may well bring all such qualities to unite them into one individual self. That may be the final resting place for all, God and man alike. Curious.
