The Book
As above in consciousness, so below in matter - Michael Sharp
The Book is an metaphorical representation for the complete set of archetypes (i.e., book pages) that comprise the planetary level creation template of this earth. As such, The Book provides a pre-defined set of ideas, concepts, and explanations of this world (i.e. answers to the Big Questions which guide, according to the principle "as above in consciousness, so below in matter," the manifestation of the broad political, social, psychological, and economic contours of this world. If the ideas in our head determine the reality around us, then The Book determines the ideas in our head.
The idea of The Book is abstract and is generally expressed in specific "implementations." The western tarot, for example, with its collection of archetypal images, is one comprehensive implementation of The Book (in this case it is an implementation of the Old Book). You can also see single book pages in popular/elite cultural products, religious and spiritual texts, and embedded in various forms of person to person communication.
We may distinguish between the Old Book and the New Book. The old book is the collection of archetypes that provide support for the manifestation of The System. The new book is an emerging set of archetypes designed to assist with the expansion of consciousness into the physical unit (i.e., The Shift, and transition this planet out of slavery. A canonical version of New Book archetypes, expressed in the context of the erasure of old world archetypes, can be found in The Book of the Triumph of Spirit Master Key
As outlined in The Book of the Triumph of Spirit Master Key , The Old Book has five basic "chapters." These are:
- Identity - The Fool in School
- Authority and Power
- Judgment and Punishment
- Gender
- Initiation
Each of these chapters carries several ideas which together create the mental structures responsible for the manifestation of The System.\
