The Zodiac
of Eden
The 12
Seasons of Influence
Traditionally,
on Earth the 12 signs of the Zodiac are simply conventional names for 30-degree
segments of the 360 degrees of the celestial sky. The Zodiac is based upon the apparent path of
the sun over the course of the year. It begins in Aries, at 0 degrees and ends
in Pisces.1
The ZOE is
somewhat different, of course, because of the geocentric paradigm of Eden. Eden is the cosmic center around which the
Suns and the perpendicular solar systems of Earth and Lovea spin.
Thus,
Aries of Eden will not be the same as Aries of Earth.
The ZOE
can be thought of as 12 divisions of the cyclical passage of time, or the 12
months. Each division has its own set of
characteristics, as influenced by the stars visible in the night sky during the
specified time. In the Suturian mythos,
the Stars are actually the past lives of Paradox (God), thus the influence is
actually the past life influences of God on current events.
As Eden’s
sky is composed of two separate star systems, one for Order and one for Chaos,
so too does the ZOE consists of two separate yet interworking Zodiacs: the
Order ZOE and the Chaos ZOE.
Thus the
ZOE is actually made up of the 12 signs presented twice, once positive, and
once negative. Furthermore, the complete
ZOE is not a circle, but rather a sphere -- The Cosmic Egg as a Color
Sphere. Additionally, just like with the
Suturian Trees, the ZOE looks different dependent upon who is looking, so the
ZOE has both an Absolute and Relative state.
The Zodiac
of Eden also reflects Crowley’s much debated “double loop.” 2 This double loop is also reflected in the
Suturian Trees as the 4&5 paradox.
The movement along these two Zodiacs, utilizing Crowley’s double loop,
becomes of course, a quadruple loop, and presents itself as a double helix.
The Absolute
Order ZOE
One of the
biggest leaps in the Suturian system is starting the Order ZOE with Scorpio and
Autumn and the resultant association of the season Autumn with fire/Father and
with the color +Blue (-Yellow).
Hot flames
burn blue, so the association of fire to blue is an easy one.
It takes a
bit more to justify the starting point as Autumn, but it basically comes down
to “Which came first, the seed or the tree?”
The answer
is, of course, both simultaneously, for that is the concept of concurrent
downward and upward causality. However,
in the Order paradigm, downward causality takes center stage, thus, the answer
becomes “the seed.”
What comes
in fall but the harvest? What is harvest
but fruit? What is fruit but seeds? What are seeds if not the “Father”?
The
fruit(seed) falls in autumn to the ground.
It is the time of fertilization.
(Masculine)
The fruit
is dormant in the winter. A time of
rest, or renewing. Renewal through
death. Father Winter. Old Man Winter. Father Time.
(Masculine)
The fruit
gestates in the spring, aka Pregnancy & Birth. (The Female grows and then
expels the fetus, thus Female) The
concept of giving birth as a “passive” concept is absurd to me, an idea
generated in a time when what goes on inside the body was not understood. For that matter, the concept of negative
energy being passive is absurd, in and of itself.
The plant lives in the summer. The materialization of life in matter upon
Mother Earth. The material world of
Earth, aka pentacles, aka Feminine.
Additionally,
some plants, such as the banksia, will only release their seeds if there is a
fire. Fire cleans the ground of
competitors and fertilizes the ground with ashes, offering a renewed growing
zone. 3,4
Thus,
Autumn represents the fire from which the Phoenix rises.
Locating
the Zoe on the Trees
The ZOE
can be found in multiple places on the Trees, both in the paths and in the
spheres. Those signs of the primary
colors repeat, both on a path and in a sphere.
Those signs of the secondary colors only appear once per tree, on the
paths.
