AEONISM A Path to the Ancient Way To Thine Ownself Be True About the Temple Of AEON - Ancient Energy Of Nature Temple of A.E.O.N. - Ancient Energy of Nature is a Sacred Space. The Sacred Sanctuary of the Global Supreme Aeonist High Priestess, DarkMoon BlackSwan. It is a place of LOVE, Understanding, Compassion, Peace and a place to discuss Metaphysics, Theosophacy, Theology and Philosophy. It is a place to Meditate and find Self. Personal Spiritual Belief is always mostly Eclectic. We Mirror our own God/ Goddess. Your own "Faith" starts with the Heart and ends with your Head. You Own it. It is as uniquely individual as YOU are. There is no Right or Wrong Way there is only Your Way. In the Dreamtime, the gods walked the earth and shaped it according to their creative whims and their serious needs. That creation of the 'world' also structured it for us; it provided the frame for the 'mirror' with which we reflect 'heaven'. In ritual, we leave linear, secular time and enter the sacred time of the Dreamtime. In that space, we can communicate with the gods directly, learn from them and possibly acquire spiritual knowledge of the type that is forever beyond language. In such rituals, we explore other dimensions of the 'world' and dimensions of ourselves that are not reachable otherwise. If we cannot do so directly, the shaman will do so for us with the difficult techniques of ecstasy, for that is his sacred trust. When the shaman returns from spirit-soul journeys, he or she communicates the experience to the clan and all are enriched and made wiser by the experience. We think that the Dreamtime is specific to the native Australian Aboriginals but the historical record suggests otherwise. These extraordinary people are 'simply' the last stewards of the Dreamtime; they have miraculously preserved it into the 20th century. Have we lost our Dreamtime? Have progress and modern day living obliterated our connection to the Ancient Ones? We all need to find our roots and re-locate the Traditional Dreamtime of our ancestors. When our Bicameral Minds Broke Down (c.3,000 BC - 0 AD) and Consciousness with its Self Awareness and narrative 'I' appeared, we lost the easy ability to talk to the gods. We MUST regain it if our overall 'health' is to be restored. Isolated regions of recovery, as promoted by Western reductionist science when working alone, will not suffice. We thereby hold in our hands the ultimate power, the possibility of affecting the QUALITY of our emotional/spiritual lives and also the possibility of the affecting the QUALITY of Gaia -Mother Earth - the global ecosystem. We can all be bodhisattvas to Gaia if we choose. The Temple of the DarkMoon - Temple of A.E.O.N. (Ancient Energy Of Nature) embraces the Aboriginal magic of the Native Indigenous First People; Druidry, Shamanism, Thelema Magic and to a small degree, philosophically, the Buddhist religion and Theosophical teachings. The Temple of A.E.O.N. is not a Religion but a Spiritual Philosophy - The Aeonist philosophy is Ecumenical - it encompasses all paths, beliefs and religions (except for the Children of Abraham ie: Christianity, Judaism Islam), as it is not a religion or faith but rather a Philosophy of Being (please refer to our Credo). The Goal ofThe Temple of the DarkMoon (the Outer Circle) & the Temple of A.E.O.N.(Inner Circle) is to bring each person into the Spirit of Sacredness through UNITY of the Collective Qualities which comprise Our Being and Race, thus Uniting the Holy Guardian Angel as well as the Animus Mundi (World Soul) within the Consciousness of every Man and Woman. Ascension is possible. The Spirit Within can be the Spirit Without. We Continue to strive to bring about through Self-Reflection and Contemplation as well as through Direct Action towards a Continual Gradual Developing of the Attributes of our Interconnected and Wholistic; Body, Mind, Spirit and Soul. This Gradual Evolution which has been recorded and imprinted in our Genetical Makeup through DNA Encoding as well as through the Collective Experience of Mankind stored in the Collective Unconscious of Man is believed to be able to be directed through the ‘Chiah’ or ‘Will’ of Man in Accord with His/Her True Spiritual Essence. Whatever the religion or the belief, Aeonists are the messengers of the "Deities". A Shaman, if you wish to call him or her such. A member of a certain tribal society who acts as a medium between the visible world and an invisible spirit world and who practices magic or sorcery for purposes of healing, divination, shadow/spirit walking and control over natural events. The Path is not monotheistic. It totally depends on your path. The Aeonist Path is not a religion or a faith. It is a philosophy and encumbers all paths. The ancient Pagan Beliefs had One Supreme God and/ or Goddess...Zeus, Jupiter, Isis, Diana, Odin, Dadga, Vishnu, Danu etc. YOU mirror your own God or Goddess. The Buddhist and Hindu believe that we all have inner Deity. We ARE the Fallen; the Watchers; the Guardian Angels of the Ancient Texts, who seek SELF redemption and SELF absolution through our Compassion & Kind Deeds and Actions. William Shakespeare once wrote and I quote: "To Thine Own Self Be True." Loyalty to Oneself, Ones Hearth/ Family, Ones friends and loved Ones, and Ones Tribe/ Community and the commitment to those loyalties are the most desired qualities personally obtainable. We are ALL a part of the Mother. We are ALL a part of NATURE and our Environment. We Are ALL the Five Sacred Elements of Air; Fire; Water; Earth and Spirit. We are Spiritual Beings experiencing a Human Existence. THE REALITY OF SPIRITUAL BEING The Universal Being of Divineness. 1: Articulate the Potential of All Beings. The lives of the deities articulate - actualise - all that is possible for the beings, be they human or gods. This complete potential might be termed totipotential; the totality of potential. This totality of potential carries no implication of values, no commitment to 'good' or 'compassion' versus 'bad' or 'evil. Such concepts are forever relative within various philosophies and there is no possibility of 'objectivity' in either linguistic definition or actual behaviour. Nonetheless, the undesirable, destructiveness of the 'dark side' of human and god nature is clear, and does not need elaborate explanation. The mytho-poetic lives of the gods explore the complete range of the possible. That panorama presents to us the full spectrum of what might be possible under 'ideal' conditions for human transformation. This full range of possibilities contains both 'black' and 'white' powers; sorcerers may do good or evil. But more importantly, it contains possibilities for more than 'power'; it reveals the potential for spiritual transformation. If the Buddhists are right, that is our unique legacy; our unique potential. 2: WISDOM HAPPINESS LOVE Immortality be damned! In any case, that attribute may be uniquely reserved for the gods. The unique legacy of human beings is the possibility for spiritual transformation and the acquisition of global compassion; love for all beings without exception. The gods, for all their awesome powers, are forever fixed in the particular spiritual state of their niche. Those who acquire compassion, acquire wisdom, happiness and love. Those qualities may be applied to one's close and intimate daily relationships and/or humanity and Gaia at large. We thereby hold in our hands the ultimate power, the possibility of affecting the QUALITY of our emotional/spiritual lives and also the possibility of the affecting the QUALITY of Gaia -Mother Earth - the global ecosystem. We can all be bodhisattvas to Gaia if we choose. 3: Create the Structure of Human Society The fundamentals of human society; family, clan and tribe with their attendant rituals did not spring de novo from the mind of humankind. Our societies, with their passions, complexity, happiness and unhappiness mirror that of gods. We MUST mirror the gods, not because we are inferior parrots, but because the closest of reciprocal relationships provides the most complete, multilevel nourishment for ALL, both the gods and us. The mirror reflects reciprocity and the possibility for the healthiest of symbiosis. If our social and mytho-poetic structures did not mirror 'heaven' then the reciprocal nurturing behavior which leads to the best of all possible 'worlds' would be much more difficult. When our Bicameral Minds Broke Down(c.3,000 BC - 0 AD) and Consciousness with its Self Awareness and narrative 'I' appeared, we lost the easy ability to talk to the gods. We MUST regain it if our overall 'health' is to be restored. Isolated regions of recovery, as promoted by Western reductionist science when working alone, will not suffice. 4: Society NEEDS Nurture from the Gods In principle the rationale is simple. Do you wish to be 'healthy' on both the spiritual and physical planes? Of course, you say. Well, there is a price to pay; everything is not possible in all 'worlds'. You must pick and choose and be content with the gains and losses. The exercise of raw, exploitative power in whatever realm can not coincide with the achievement of a totipotent 'health'. The narcotic highs produced by physical or verbal abuse, the pursuits of material wealth, the acquisition of ecological power and the indulgence of psychological or physical obsessions are forever incompatible with a spiritual and compassionate life. They are also incompatible with the achievement of happiness and love, those forever indefinable, but we 'know-it-when-we-find-it' psychic states. 5: The Gods REQUIRE Nurture from Society. Yes, the Gods do require and NEED us. Not simply for the ego gratification of having something worship you. The Gods are dependent upon us for spiritual nourishment, love, respect and acknowledgment that life is rich and worth living. Sounds like some of the qualities of a good human relationship, doesn't it? Well it is; the Gods need our love or they are left alone with themselves and that is not conducive to their happiness. The objective truth is that they possess, as do we, an intense need for intimacy. Love and intimacy appear to be global needs, global truths; there are very few beings who can legitimately do without them. Their existence serves only to illustrate the statistical fluctuations from the mean that are possible in large populations; they do not indicate a life path that most of us can follow towards fulfilment. If you don't believe this, contemplate the death of the so-called pagan gods and above all, the near extinction of the Great Goddess. Physically she is immortal, but that is not the point. At the hands of a judgmental, power-oriented, chauvinistic Christianity, she nearly died a spiritual death. 6: That Food is Dreamtime Ritual Today, we think that the Dreamtime is specific tothe native Australians but the historical record suggestsotherwise. These extraordinary people are 'simply' the last stewards of the Dreamtime; they have miraculously preserved it into the 20th century. In the Dreamtime, the gods walked the earth and shaped it according to their creative whims and their serious needs. That creation of the 'world' also structured it for us; it provided the frame for the 'mirror' with which we reflect 'heaven'. In ritual, we leave linear, secular time and enter the sacred time of the Dreamtime. In that space, we can communicate with the gods directly, learn from them and possibly acquire spiritual knowledge of the type that is forever beyond language. In such mytho-poetic rituals, we explore other dimensions of the 'world' and dimensions of ourselves that are not reachable otherwise. If we cannot do so directly, the shaman will do so for us with the difficult techniques of ecstasy, for that is his sacred trust. When the shaman returns from spirit-soul journeys, he or she communicates the experience to the clan and all are enriched and made wiser by the experience. 7: 'Nurture' Allows the Gods to Live and Create. Nourished by the APPROPRIATE rituals, the gods have their health renewed and are able to continue to live out their mytho-poetic lives and create. BUT, the rituals must be appropriate, they must possess spiritual integrity. Almost any behavior can become ritualistic if repeated within a recognizable structure but all rituals are neither spiritual nor healthy. The obsessive behaviour of the autistic person is ritualistic but cannot lead to spiritual growth. Our society's indulgence in the acquisition of material wealth and power, 'professional' sports, material exploitation of the earth, and the obsessive feeding of our immature egos through distorted, immature and often abusive relationships all have ritualistic aspects. However, anyone with a little insight would not label such activities as spiritual ritual. The common element that flows through our impoverished 'rituals' is the infatuation with power and the ego. For ritual to possess integrity and the potential to the contact the Dreamtime, those elements must be absent. 8: Embody the Evolutionary Process. Healthy Mytho-poetica is stable, contextual and ever-changing. The embodiment of evolutionary potential is transferred to us, the humans, yet all evolutionary change is not necessarily for the better. The Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind was an epochal evolutionary event and left us with a much more complex 'world' and the gains and losses are difficult to assess. Would you trade 'consciousness', 'self awareness' and the 'narrative I' for a greater sense of spiritual well being? Would you trade modern technological Western society, with all of its material wonders (including this computer!) for a near guarantee of spiritual happiness? Is it necessary to trade ,is this concept of gains and losses beside the point? Can we have it all? Can we have great technological understanding with its unavoidable, intense use of the ecology and a Unicameral Mind that is at ease with communication with the gods and is capable of benefiting from such a relationship? Can you imagine a ttechnological West with compassion towards Gaia and all the beings? 9: Reality of Spiritual Transformation Unknown shamen, Zoroaster, Vardhamana, Buddha, Confucius, Lao-tzu, Jesus Christ, Mohammed Tao, simply translates as The Way, and the simplest definition of Tao, is that IT is the WILL of the Supreme Spirit. ' "I am The Way, the Truth, the Life..." sayest the Lord.' Vyasa, Abraham, Mahavira, Moses, Lao Tse, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, Babaji Maharaji, Gosvami Maharaji, Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Bhagavan Sri Sai Baba, Dali Lama among others, were or are, although not in the true religious sense, Aeonists. In other words, Aeonists, 'Mistresses & Masters of the Ancient Ways', are messengers of the Deities sent to show the multitude The Ancient Ways. The Ancient Way to EXIST; The Ancient Way to LIVE; The Ancient Way to LOVE; The Ancient Way to DIVINENESS. The Gnostics state and I quote: "Would you rather be a child and follow blindly what you are taught? Or would you rather be an Adult and Free Thinker and teach yourself?" I AM AN ADULT! I AM an Aeonist! We all make the mistake to place philosophy and religion in the same sentence or statement ... this is WRONG ...as thet are two different entities in themselves. A spiritual philsophy is not a religion ... unless believers practice it as such. That is when aphilosophy evolves into a faith ... not before. All beliefs and faiths and religions are right and they are also WRONG, because we (or rather our ancestors) rushed in and politicised them. That is what is wrong with controlled and organized religions. Even the regimentation in most Covens and Communities. Politics and Religion should not mix but they do and that is why we have wars. Organized Religions be Damned. It matters not how Eclectic your practice and/ or path Be ... Walk Your Talk. If your practice/ path/ faith works for YOU ... OWN IT and Be PROUD! I, myself, am technically a Druidic Shaman (Celtic) and a "Medicine" Woman (Wiradjuri - Australian Indigenous "First People") as this is my Heritage. I accepted some teachings of the Asatru and Golden Dawn in formulating my own path and practices. My philosophy is a mixture of Toaism, Buddhism and Theosophy ... Eclectic but still old World/ Ancestral. It Works for me although it may not work for others. Within You is Your Deity be it God or Goddess. Within You is Your Temple and Your Sacred Space. Only you can commune with your Sacredness. Only You can commune with YOUR Deity. Your Deity and Your Sacred Space are uniquely YOURS. Many of you may think me Insane well considering the Sanity of the World we live in I gladly embrace MY insanity. This is what my Temple is about. This is what I am about.

(Temple of the DarkMoon) & Matriarch & Archdruidess of Tintean Clann Danu DEFINITIONS Aeon The word aeon /'i:on/, also spelled eon, originally means "life" or "being", though it then tended to mean "age" in the sense of TIME - Ages - "forever" or "for eternity". It is a Latin transliteration from the koine Greek word o[aiwu (ho aion), from the archaic aiFwv (aiwon). In Homer it typically refers to life or lifespan. Its latest meaning is more or less similar to the Sanskritword kalpa and Hebrew word olam. A cognate Latin word aevum or aeuum (cf. aiFwv) for "age" is present in words such aslongevity and mediaeval.[1] Although the term aeon may be used in reference to a period of a billion years (especially in geology, cosmology orastronomy), its more common usage is for any long, indefinite, period. Aeon can also refer to the four aeons on theGeologic Time Scale that make up the Earth's history, the Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and the current aeonPhanerozoic. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeon Aeon (Thelema) In the religion of Thelema, it is believed that the history of humanity can be divided into a series of aeons, each of which was accompanied by its own forms of "magical and religious expression".[1] The first of these was the Aeon of Isis, which Thelemites believed occurred during prehistory and which saw mankind worshipping a Great Goddess, symbolised by the ancient Egyptian deity Isis. In Thelemite beliefs, this was followed by the Aeon of Osiris, a period that took place in the classical and mediaeval centuries, when humanity worshipped a singular male god, symbolised by the Egyptian god Osiris, and was therefore dominated by patriarchal values. And finally the third aeon, the Aeon of Horus, which was controlled by the child god, symbolised by Horus. In this new aeon, Thelemites believe that humanity will enter a time of self-realization and self-actualization. Within the Thelemite religion, each of these aeons is believed to be "characterized by their [own specific] magical formula", the use of which "is very important and fundamental to the understanding of ... Thelemic Magick".[2] Source; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeon_(Thelema) Aion (deity) Aion (Greek: aiwv) is a Hellenistic deity associated with time, the orb or circle encompassing the universe, and the zodiac. The "time" represented by Aion is unbounded, in contrast to Chronos as empirical time divided into past, present, and future.[1] He is thus a god of eternity, associated withmystery religions concerned with the afterlife, such as the mysteries ofCybele, Dionysus, Orpheus, and Mithras. In Latin the concept of the deity may appear as Aevum or Saeculum.[2] He is typically in the company of an earth or mot Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aion_(deity) CHRONUS & AEON KHRONOS (or Chronus) was the Protogenos(primeval god) of time, a divinity who emerged self-formed at the beginning of creation in the Orphic cosmogonies. Khronos was imagined as an incorporeal god, serpentine in form, with three heads--that of a man, a bull, and a lion. He and his consort, serpentine Ananke(Inevitability), circled the primal world-egg in their coils and split it apart to form the ordered universe of earth, sea and sky. Khronos and Ananke continued to circle the cosmos after creation-their passage driving the circling of heaven and the eternal passage of time. The figure of Khronos was essentially a cosmological doubling of the Titan Kronos (also "Father Time"). The Orphics occasionally combined Khronos with their creator-godPhanes, and identified him with Ophion. His equivalent in the Phoenician cosmogony was probably Olam (Eternal Time), or Oulomos, as his name appears in Greek transcriptions. Khronos was represented in Greco-Roman mosaic as Aion, "eternity" personified. He stands against the sky holding a wheel inscribed with the signs of the zodiac. Beneath his feet Gaia (Mother Earth) is usually seen reclining. The poet Nonnus describes Aion as an old man with long white hair and beard. Mosaics, however, present a youthful figure CHRONOS-AEON GOD OF TIME Outside of the Orphic Theogonies, Khronos, god of time, and Kronos, father of Zeus, are usually identical (cf. Pindar and Cicero below). Nonnus' Aion (Eternity), however, is the primordial Orphic god. Pindar, Olympian 2. 17 ff (trans. Conway) (Greek lyric C5th B.C.) : "Of things come to pass in justice or unjust, not Khronos (Time) the father of all can make the end unaccomplished." Pindar, Odes Olympian 10. 50 ff : "[Herakles founds the Olympic Games :] And he [Herakles] named the Hill of Kronos, for long years while Oinomaos ruled, a hill nameless and showered with winter's snow. Now in that birthday hour [of the Games] the Moirai (Fates) stood by, this new-established rite to consecrate, and Khronos (Time), whose proof at last stands the sole judge of truth that shall abide." [N.B. the Titan Kronos was worshipped at Olympia, on the hill of the same name.] Pindar, Nemean Ode 4. 41 ff : "For me, whatever share of excellence the throne of Fate endowed, I know full well that Khronos (Time), although his foot be slow, shall bring it to the end ordained." Pindar, Paean 2 (trans. Sandys) (Greek lyric C5th B.C.) : "May mighty Khronos (Time), as it draweth on, never weary of a settled course for me." Bacchylides, Fragment 7 (trans. Campbell, Vol. Greek Lyric IV) (Greek lyric C5th B.C.) : "Radiant daughter of Khronos (Time) and Nyx (Night), you the sixteenth day [i.e. day personified, Hemera] of the fiftieth month." Aeschylus, Agamemnon 983 ff (trans. Weir Smyth) (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.) : "Khronos (Time) has collected the sands of the shore upon the cables cast thereon when the shipborn army sped forth for Ilion." Aeschylus, Libation Bearers 963 ff : "But soon time (khronos) that accomplishes all will pass the portals of our house, and then all pollution will be expelled from the hearth by cleansing rites that drive out calamity. The dice of fortune (tykhai) will turn as they fall and lie with faces all lovely to behold, favorably disposed to whoever stays in our house." Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound 981 ff : "Prometheus : But ever-ageing Time (gêraskôn khronos) teaches all things. Hermes : Yes, but you at least have not yet learned to keep a sober mind." Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 4. 673 ff (trans. Rieu) (Greek epic C3rd B.C.) : "A number of creatures whose ill-assorted limbs declared them to be neither man nor beast had gathered round her [Kirke the witch] like a great flock of sheep following their shepherd from the fold, Nondescript monsters such as these, fitted with miscellaneous limbs, were once produced spontaneously by Ge out of the primeval mud, when she had not yet solidified under a rainless sky and was deriving no moisture from the blazing sun. But Khronos (Time), combining this with that, brought the animal creation into order." Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy 12. 189 ff (trans. Way) (Greek epic C4th A.D.) : "Zeus . . . charioted upon the Anemoi (Wind-Gods), Euros (the East), Boreas (the North), Zephyros (the West-wind), and Notos (the South) [presumably the four-wind gods had assumed the shape of horses] : for Iris rainbow-plumed led 'neath the yoke of his eternal car that stormy team, the car which Aion (Time) the immortal framed for him of adamant with never-wearying hands."
