Cutting the Key for the Ultimate Keyhole

Musings on unlocking great mysteries

By Katherine D. GrahamPublished 2 months ago 6 min read

I see the keyhole. Light shines through it, but like the Sun, it is not easy to see beyond the seething gases and fires that burn and create all that opens a portal to another world.

I have a box of keys in my possession. I might be able to unlock the door.

Perhaps I hold natural gifts and using the gentle art of moving the key within the keyhole, might be able to unlock and open the door.

But the chances are slim. My understanding of information of the magic spells and incantations possessed in grimoires is limited to basic theory. I do not understand how the circles of fourths and fifths relate to transitions between major and minor keys.

I have however opened other doors, using simple enough for my simple mind mnemonic rhymes, stories and acronyms that let me recreate the needed patterns to lead me along the ladder of a thought process, that others can follow.

I move along my Jacob's ladder, where angels carrying fleeting winged thoughts, ascend and descend between the heavenly divine to the mortal world. These self-moving angels carry messages born of the fire of Jacob’s dreams that appeared when he lay his bones, protecting the crystal palace of his mind, upon the electrum stone alloy of silver and gold.

Electrum is thought to be soma, the nonphysical electromagnetic life force energy that activates all things It flows from sacred waves that pass through the liquid, solid and gaseous states of matter, and releases the miracle, an anti-anxiety, sedative hypnotic intoxicating drug that personifies god and permits the viewer to see the future.

The angels carry the divine breath of the sages. Buddhists describe the lung, meaning breath or wind, that carries the force of earth, fire, water, air and space in mind, speech and body, when gratitude for work and rest, compassion to others and the responsibility to do good is present while detaching from what hinders flow. They can move joy and laughter out in the ‘ha’ exhalation and bring in the chi or Ki force in the ‘ho’ inhalations.

Haho.

Electrum is abundant in locations of antiquity, such as the Upper Nile River Valley in ancient Egypt. Homeric Poems describe the Trojan war between Greeks and the defenders of the city of Troy, in Lydia (modern Turkey). The Lydians were the first people to mint electrum coins used for financial transactions and for storing wealth. One part of gold was equal in value to two and one-half parts of silver. Patterns repeat in theoretical to theosophical traditions. Electrum is a popular bitcoin wallet.

Lydia, in Ossetia, also passed on a wealth of stories. Nart spirits, a mythical tribe of tall, courageous good-hearted nomad warriors, also capable of cruelty, envy, and forceful measures to settle disputes, once roamed freely from eastern Europe to western China, and their myths parallel those of the Indian, Norse, Greek and Chinese.

The Chinese Imperial Yellow Dragon was said to rain down as electrum. Yellow dust originates in the deserts of Mongolia and forms clouds of yellow sands in China. The transfer of minerals is not perceived but sparks conditions that resonates through geological and neurological levels.

An exponential recursion moves from the concept of a fundamental tone, known as Sheng, to society’s place in the cosmic order.

Electrum flows from pyramidal mountains onto the sea and feeds the Golden Diptera larva, Arelmia oudneyi, that are eaten by koi, Cyprinus, making their skin turn yellow because of the harmful yellow pigmented anaerobic bacteria and endophytic fungi.

The bacteria are associated with medicinal plants that can be the cause and results of cravings, related to situations, that are often built on relationships that depend on memory.

Electrum may be the fairy dust that contains endogenously produced hormonal templates that are activated by a number of triggers. It can enhance DNA activation, electrochemical conductivity and endogenous chemicals thought to increase consciousness.

A selected serpent brotherhood, who understands the movement of interacting serpentine waves, holds an image in the mind’s eye. They want to protect freedom without closing the gap within the realm of possibility using secrets and mystic clues of the black arts, chemistry, alchemy, transmutation, astrology and astronomy.

They quarrel with what is known as God given truth to cut the Electrum key. They compile, protect and interpret, to the best of their capacity and ability, so they can use the key to steer between possibilities, without abandoning the extremes of sages, who laid the ground that reconciles of the gap between nature and the spirit, so they can function as a whole.

The human mind deciphers what road they will follow, amidst multiple possibilities. Appreciating the space between the limits, they seek a key that can apply the law of the lever to spaces, connected in ratios, so transverse energy waves can pass. They allow transformations in any combination and sequence, where reflection, rotation and reciprocals formed when weak forces accumulate can form a synthesis that is more than algorithms installed into a matrix can predict.

Electrum is an element with a bimetallic phase that is important in nanotechnology. Electrum defies classical thermodynamics at the nanoscale because changing states are not linearly proportional to the number of particles. Synergy results from coherent collective oscillations.

Synergy often occurs in Mathematics espectially in the number nine that is defined as a lucky number and a happy number and a magic number. There are nine Vedic planets, nine halls or the Lo Shu or Magic squares used as a means of divination, nine families of subatomic particles that blossom out from the sun and form magnetic reconnections of particles and waves.

The spirit of electrum flows between light and sound. Balzac’s describes Svedenborg, in Seraphina, referring to twelve tones and harmonics that burst forward connecting consciousness to an endless grid where the patterns of clocks, calendars and the zodiac wheels exist. Svedenborg described the nine pointed enneagram.

The human beast uses the number nine in probability, as a measure of the logarithmic probability of an event occurring as a rule of thumb. The tale of the Eloquent peasant, from around 1800 BC., spoke of a landowner who tricked a peasant to cross on his land so he could take possession of the peasant’s donkey. The peasant argued his case for nine days, wrote nine elegant speeches and eventually got justice and the evil doer was punished.

There are nine qualities of mindfulness and awareness. The nine Hindu Rasas: art, dance, theatre, music, literature treatment, interpretation, usage and performance pass through the nine doors: the mouth, two ears, nostrils, eyes and defecation and procreation. The nine gods who hold the transcendence at the point of creation of the primordial abyss of sky and waters formed the Ennead.

There are nine gifts of the Holy spirit, wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment of spirits, speaking and interpreting tongues. There are nine fruits of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Norse mythology that divided the universe into nine worlds connected by the world tree Yggdrasil. Dante wrote of the nine concentric circle levels of heaven and hell .

The nine-pointed Enneagram of ancient sages decided if Horus or Set should rule the world. A set has come to mean parts that make up of an apparatus that can be put into a specific shape or scene and make a catapult that can swing matter, thought or action of an electronic apparatus. Forces of attraction and repulsion move through the many ways of a set.

There are nine gaps in the Sephirot Tree of Life of the Jewish Kabbalah and Hermetic Qabalah that represent the peels or shells of evil impure, spiritual forces.

Three overlapping triangles form the Sri Yantra, where energy comes from nine points and connects at the central Bindu point, where manifestation and dissipation occur at a point of cosmic potency. The Bindu is where the words of the knowledge, and the universe originates, and Wisdom and experience lets the power of the universe pass and move to bring new life.

I see the light that passes through the keyhole. I can feel perceptions stir. I do not know if what is revealed beyond the hole will delight or blind the viewer.

There are nine essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Foods that contain nine Amino acids are complete. They include : beef, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, soy, quinoa and buckwheat. Oxytocin is a nine amino acid molecule. Oxytocin, produced in the hypothalamus, is associated with trust in delayed gratification, and affects the temporal parietal junction that controls impulse control and empathy.

I am drawn to see if this is the key to unlock the door. As I add and remove bits and bytes of information I cut the key hoping that it will fit the keyhole so I can pass through the door that leads to an infinity mirror of mysteries.
