Jeez, all these attempts to explain Kate getting pi wrong. Couldn't she just have screwed up? How easy would it be to mishear "zero" as "three one" when copying it down?
Yes, KaTe could have got Pi screwed up, but it's fun to think otherwise... ;D
Ray of Light: Pi and Ascension Magick
KaTe sings the first 78 digits of Pi correctly. THERE ARE 78 TAROT CARDS IN THE DECK. So these first sung 78 digits might represent the complete 78 Tarot Cards. Kate then misses out 22 digits. THERE ARE 22 MAJOR ARCANA TAROT CARDS. So these missing 22 digits might represent the 22 Major Arcana Tarot Cards.
Kate then sings 5 digits, and then misses out the SIXTH digit, which is a ZERO. Kate then sings 25 digits, and then misses out another ZERO. Kate then sings 5 more digits before closing the song.
KaTe sings Pi to the 137th decimal place (missing out the 24 digits noted above). The Number 137 corresponds with Aerial light: ONE single wavelength consisting of THREE primary rays (red, yellow, and blue), and SEVEN spectrum rays (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet). [Newton originally (1672) named only five primary colours: red, yellow, green, blue and violet. Only later did he introduce orange and indigo, giving seven colours by analogy to the number of notes in a musical scale.]
The Number 137 might also refer to the Solar Logos, the Solar Trinity, and the Seven Rays attributed to specific forces and realms.THE LOGOSThe Logos is a term that was used by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus to describe the underlying force of the universe. Logos translates to "word" but can also mean "principle" or "order," and is associated with the laws of nature. To the Greeks, logic was the guiding force of the universe, giving it structure and form. The Logos could be said to be a precursor to our concept of the collective consciousness. In much later periods, it has been compared to the concept of the Tao in Chinese mysticism or the Om sound of creation in Hinduism.
By the time of the classical Greek scholars, Plato, and Aristotle, the Logos was personalized as the individual's reason and faculty for knowledge. Plato believed that the soul was divided up into three parts: the epithymia, the desire, which resides in the belly; the thumos, the will, which lives in the heart; and the immortal logos, the divine self, which is associated with the head and intellect. Plato personified the logos, describing it as a living being.
For individuals, the Logos can be said to be the higher self, the oversoul or monad, the divine wise part of the self. The Logos is the higher aspect of creation, what to the Greeks was the guiding logic of the universe, the divine intelligence guiding creation, similar to the Hermetic concept of the Divine Mind.
In other traditions, the Logos is seen less as pure reason or logic, giving structure and form to the universe, and more as the wisdom and redemptive quality of the universe. In Christianity, the Logos is equated with Jesus Christ, as the Word of God incarnated. The creator god of Judaism and Christianity is also considered to be the Logos, for this Creator creates reality through the power of his words. The Logos is the creative power emanating from the prime Creator. We can relate this concept to the seventh dimension. The logos is responsible for the manifestation of all reality. In Christianity, the Logos, or Word, is said to be the second part of the divine trinity, yet in ascension, the Logos is, or contains, the trinity.
In ascension lore, the Logos is the higher self of creation. As there are many levels of each individual being paralleling the many levels of creation, the Logos manifests on many levels. Each Logos is responsible for the development of life in its domain. The concept of the Cosmic Logos is the closest thing we can understand as the creator of all universes, and all reality. From the Cosmic Logos flows the Universal Logos. The Universal Logos is epitomized by the Great Central Sun of our universe. It is the holy, formless fire in the center of the universe... The universal fire is found in many traditions, myths, and stories. The flow continues to the Galactic Logos, the Solar Logos, and finally the Planetary Logos level. Each universe has its own prime higher self, as does each galaxy, solar system, and planet.
Once can think of the structure of each system in a manner similar to the model presented in the Gaia hypothesis. We are like cells in the body of the Earth, as are all living things. Each has its own purpose for the greater functioning of the being, just as the cells within the organs of our body have their own individual purpose. Each planet is like an organ in the solar being's body. Each star is a part of the galactic being's body. Each galaxy is part of the universal being's body, and each universe is a part of the cosmic being's body. One can take the model of offices and the cosmic hierarchy boardroom flow chart and replace it with the image of anatomy, organs, and cells in varying levels of complexity, in bigger and bigger beings. But we know that each "cell," each "organ," is alive, and each level of beings has a higher self, a spiritual Logos, guiding this level.
Humanity is more concerned with the Solar Logos and Planetary Logos on a personal level. Our planet, along with the others in the solar system, is said to be one of the chakras, or spiritual organs, in the Solar Logos's body. In ascension lore, the Solar Logos is known as Helios, named after the Greek Titan of the Sun, a precursor to the solar figure Apollo. Perhaps the old myths of Helios show the ancient Greeks had knowledge of the Solar Logos, or perhaps the new ascension models are simply borrowing names from Greek mythology. From the Solar Logos emanates the hierarchy associated with our planet.
THE TRINITYThe first emanation from the Logos is a trinity of forces. Each Logos manifests its own trinity. The Solar Logos is said to manifest a solar trinity. The Planetary Logos manifests its own trinity as well. Much of the ascension lore from the time of Alice Bailey is filled with Christian terms, including the use of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to describe the trinity of the Solar Logos. Some know the third aspect as the Holy Ghost or the Holy Sophia, the feminine wisdom aspect of creation, bringing balance to an otherwise male-dominated image. Many think of the aspects as father, child, and mother principles. as one aspect is the impetus to create, the second is the redeeming or connecting force, and the third, the Holy Spirit, is the spark of the divine residing in all things, material and nonmaterial.
Though we can think of the trinity principle in Christian terms, the concept of triune powers is universal. In Hinduism, the concept is embodied by the gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, Brahma is the generative force, Vishnu is the preserving force, and Shiva is the dissolving force, The Hindu form of the "Word," or an interpretation of the Logos, is the mantra Om, or Aum, as the trinity manifests through the three letters A-U-M. In astrology, the three powers manifest in the energies of the cardinal, fixed, and mutable signs. In ceremonial magick, the forces are personified as Isis, Apophis, and Osiris, borrowing symbolism from Egypt. Others see a parallel between the Egyptian trinity of Osiris, Horus, and Isis and the early Christian church that looked at the third aspect of the trinity as the mother wisdom principle, or Holy Sophia. In alchemy, the three created principles are described as sulfur, mercury, and salt, the combustive, absorbing, and materializing forces. In witchcraft and paganism, the triple goddess or the three fates are the triune powers. Many modern mystics use the term GOD as an acronym for generating, organizing, and destroying. The three-ray teaching has parallels in the Celtic lore of the Druids and bards, with the symbol of
awen, or divine inspiration, manifesting as three rays of light emanating from three dots. The three rays correspond to the three worlds of the Celts; the three parts of the soul; the earth, sea, and sky; the letters I, O, and U; and the principles of love, wisdom, and truth.
In the Theosophical system, the trinity manifests as The Three Rays of Aspect, the first three of the seven rays. The divine energy, viewed as light, is said to be divided into various "rays," or frequencies, of divine energy, each with specific attributes. The divine light first manifests from this trinity into three rays that we associate with the primary colors - red, blue, and yellow. The three principles of these rays are will, love, and intelligence. The principle embodied by the first ray, the red ray, is will. The second ray, or blue ray, embodies the power of love. The third ray, the yellow ray, manifests the power of active intelligence.
The trinity of three rays manifests in the various orders of beings in the cosmos. Angelic beings are said to be a primary manifestation of the red ray, enacting the will of the divine and having no free will of their own. The spirits of the natural world - plants, animals, stones, and the entities that guide them - embody the heart and love of the Creator and are aligned with the powers of the blue ray. Humans - or any humanoid, incarnate race - manifest from the mind of divinity, aligned with the yellow ray. The Principle of Mentalism shows us that the nature of creation is mental, and we, having minds like the Creator, are able to create. We are like creator gods, made in the divine image. But we also have difficulty learning to master the mind. Spiritual techniques such as yoga, meditation, and magick are techniques to give us greater mastery over the mind and bring it into harmony with will and love. Though we have a strong mental nature, we also have free will and the capacity to love - a trifold nature.
The power of the Logos is said to manifest through the second ray, with the first and third flanking it, as it is through the Logos and the second ray that we become more aware of our divine nature and reconcile the two other aspects of creation. The second and third rays, seen as embodying the "son" and "mother" principles, share a unique relationship that is often overlooked. Though the mother aspect is strongly associated with love, the mother rules the third ray of the mind and humanity, which at first glance seems more male orientated. At first we would probably see the mother principle as being more in tune with the ray of love, until we see that she is the spark, the life force, in all of creation, and creation is but a construct of divine mental energy, is really ruled by the second ray of love. Through the choice of love, humans find their way to spiritual awakening and empowerment.
In ascension teachings, all humans have a triple flame with their heart, manifesting the blessings of these three principles. Sometimes described as power, love, and wisdom, or power, love, and intelligence, they are the three core principles of ascension. The three principles work together to create a balance. Love without intelligence and power is ineffective. Power not tempered by intelligence and love is harsh. Intelligence without power and love to put it into action is useless. Getting in touch with all three principles is an important step in remaining grounded and stable on the ascension path, giving you the ability to act, discern and love in equal measures. When you lack one, it's easy to stray off your path and become unbalanced.
THE SEVEN RAYSThe Logos refracts the light of divinity much as a prism refracts light, expressing it in a spectrum of seven colors emanating from the source. Each ray is an archetypal energy representing a form of consciousness and development in the world. These emanations are much like those of the Qabalah, as the divine descends into ten colored spheres, each manifesting one aspect of creation. The science of the rays - using them to understand the universe and our place in the universe - is much like the study of the Qabalah.
The rays play a large part in our ascension cosmology, but they are not to be confused with the dimensions, for the rays shine through and permeate all the dimensions. Mystics can connect to these manifestations of consciousness in any dimension. There are "higher," or more enlightened, expressions of each ray, and lower, or baser, expressions of each ray, based upon the consciousness that is expressing the ray into form. The lower expression of the first ray, the red ray of will and power, can manifest as simple survival or as a craving for power. At a higher level it manifests as the spiritual warrior and guardian of truth and divine will.
The three primary rays, known as the Rays of Aspect, are the manifestation of the trinity, as previously discussed. According to Theosophical teachings, the remaining four rays, known as the Rays of Attribute, manifest from the third ray. They have more to do with human realms and the concerns of civilization, although in meditative vision, my guides have shown me a new model, in which the rays manifest like paints from the three primary colors swirling together. The seven rays of light, much like the colors of the rainbow spectrum, express seven different facets of divinity. One thing that is difficult for new students to understand about the rays is the order of their colors. When compared to the order of the colors in the rainbow spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet), the order of red, blue, yellow, green, orange, indigo, and violet seems illogical. If you think of the order of the rays in terms of primary and secondary colors (first the primary colors and then the secondary colors), then it makes more sense.
The seven rays are attributed to specific forces and realms The light of the seven rays reaches us through the Sun, the Solar Logos. In channeled material it is often stated that such high-vibrational celestial energies have to be modified as they move down through the various dimensions, much like an electrical current moving through a series of transformers, in order to reach us at the appropriate frequency. The various energy transformers are associated with the star systems around us, linking our spiritual evolution to other stars and the spirits residing in those star systems. The rays are said to be focused through the stars of Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Polaris, the Pleiades, and Sirius before reaching our Sun. As they move from these stars into the Sun, they continue to move through the body of the Solar Logos by passing through the seven sacred planets of the ancients, the chakras of the Solar Logos's body. According to the ancients, these seven planets were the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The rays are further transformed as they move through the planetary energy centers, the chakras of the Earth, and then they resonate with our own individual energy centers.
