I do not think so.

But the schools strides, as what is called <oneness> is not defineable, or relateable, until it reaches the next level, polarity, <twoness>, that gives an option to distict between the one and the other, defineable.

So actually, one could philosophical say that one is zero, as it is in no way defineable, and also limitless.

"Pure existence"

A parallelll to to this concept is the conscious level of "pure existence."
( i.e. achieved the yoga or meditation way, by mentally holding the the E sound until trance, for me)

"Pure existence" , is not the same as defined existence, and does not imply the ego conception. The difference is <AM> to <I AM> .

When the feeling or ide that what exists is in any way defined, one leaves the level of pure existence, and enters the spectre of defined existence, which implies an ego consciousness, as opposed to universal unity consciousness, which is not defineable, as there is nothing to compare with, and nothing to relate to.

Kabbalah, Tarot, Gematria and Astology

This sphære, or rather path or passage, referers to the Tarot trumph the Fool or The Magus (The Magician), the wings of the schools strides.

Tarot is Kabbalah in pictures, also astology in pictures. The classical esoterical masonic education rest at the teachings of Kabbalah, Tarot, Astology, Gematria, and of course Alchemy, all various aspects of the same. This link considers with comparativity between these branches, but I have not read the site and cannot garantee its correct, but the principe is.

However of sources on holistic comparativity of these arts, I may recommend this search

Besides other teachings of Kabbalah, the Book of Thoth should at least be known, its a classical cornerstone in the western definition of it. Eat the bait off the hook.

The Royal Art and Sang Real

These studies are also called " The art of the Kings", or " The Royal Art" and it is certainly not for all. Depends if one is a carrier of the Sang Real or not. For essential sources, I recommend this book.
The Da Vinci Code is a populistic ripoff of this, and may be good enough for the masses, but less than worthless for the serious student of high arts.

The Scrolls of The Order

How I can write this with such confidence? According to the Kabbalic initiatory systems my esoterical title would be Magister Tæmpli, not because I am a former lodge master of an Memphis & Mizraim lodge, have studied kabbalah and numberless other mystical magical systems for 30 years and have educated many of those that educated those that educates on Kabbalah, Tarot, Gematria, Ritual practice, Temple practice, Runic mysteries and invocations, but more because of personal experiences, and ability to communicate ideas.

I left the order and returned my charter, when I found it secteric, and have after that run varios circuses on own basist. But I do not like organized mystic, or religions. Its for the masses. I rather like to manipulate the masses for use to own agenda.

For those that do not know these arts, this is worthless speculations. But I could not care less, and would not lift a finger to illuminate the non illuminated. It is not my funeral. This arts keeps me young and healthy, and provides me with everything I need, in modest ways.

Small time magic

I can also blow away warts and cure skin diseases, also make and stop rain,and can also if pleased, in many cases visit females telepathic, and have sex with them, in a way that it feels physical to both, I am a great projector. ( For the records, 17 is too young for me to visit, would be irresponsible )

For the females that does not believe me, just send me a picture and a name, that is all I need, and if the object is attractive to me, I may come flying...LOL

Another king, king Arthur was by Merlin lent this gift to visit his beloved one, and the great god Frey is a master of this, he even is known to be able to make females pregnant at distance. I am not that clever, but have no problems with accepting the idea of virgins giving birth to children this way.

But visiting people is not especially high arts, its may occure at the astralplane, if the physicalplane are compared to the ground floor, the astralplane would be the 1.floor, the mental "body" the 2., and the monadic spiritual "body" the 4.floor.

The Inquisitions

I have no problems understanding why the Inquisition would have investegated me. Did you by the way know that Masonic lodges have their own internal Inquisition apparate? Do you think it is comfortable to receive a formal letter from the Grand Inquisitor, claiming explainations? It certainly is not, it is a fly or fall challenge. I came good out of it, but left the order soon after, by own free will.

Life should be entertaining

Yes, yes, life may be entertaing like an adventure, dont you think?...

I you that read this, like to, you may take all this as crap, what do I care?

And I still got my Blue Book, the handbook for lodge masters, I bet many of you would pay me well for that one , but of course,it is not for sale...

A rather generous posting, I would say.

I am a spirit AND a body, and hence I think that the poll would be more interesting and more naturalistic if one could choose more than just one alternative. As it is, my choice would be equally misunderstood were I to choose just 'I am a body' or just 'I am a soul'. The latter would to many people mean that I consider the 'inner' life, dreams and fantasy more valuable than 'outer' life. The former would to many people mean that I'm a materialist. Neither of these positions describe well my views.

Multiple choices would fit other points of view as well. The 'mind over matter' view would have the option of choosing 'I am a soul' AND 'I have a body', while the spiritual materialist, who considers spiritual life a secondary artifact resulting from bodily functions, could choose 'I am a body' AND 'I have a soul'. The extreme materialist could choose just 'I am a body' and the extreme spiritualist could choose just 'I am a soul'.

Body and immortal Soul for me

Body and soul, of course.
