Why Ceremony? The ceremony is meant as an aid to FOCUS on the INTENT. It must be UNDERSTOOD as a PROCESS of ORDER around which CREATIVE  RESULTS can be attained. Without realising it we conduct many ceremonies every day.  Before we can access to the internet we must go through a very strict protocol of “clicks”. To be “legal on the road” a strict administrative procedure has to be followed. The salute to the flag along with the national anthem. The knock on the door of another one’s home before entering.

So, any idea about the protocol within the INFINITE UNIVERSE? Not just of the Spirit world, but the world of  Feeling as well. The SENSITIVITY  that we apply in Ceremony has a LONG RANGE EFFECT.  Much farther and longer than that of today’s most advanced computer, which is at least one hundred million years behind the computing capacity of a simple cell! Each object used in a Ceremony is like a “software” that we can use to expand on the Communication with the Greater World, of ONENESS.

Consider the world we live in to be a tiny part of Creator’s Body, which is Great Mystery.  The more we connect with the Greater World the greater our FREEDOM can be. This is the reason why many Ancient Ceremonies were forbidden by those who have been trying to subject the Human to the Ritual of the Confining Matrix, such as the military parades and the sacrifice on the battlefield (altar of death) to defend a symbol (flag).

The Principle of creating the Ceremonial Scene is  the SAME as how Creation could come about and how it is REALISED by the UNION and then PERPETUATED. So, the Ceremony in the creative sense has five stages:

• Create the Polarity/Portal to generate energy  (purpose of the altar).
• Acknowledge/Invite the different sources of energy and mention the Purpose of the Ceremony.
• Unify/Structure the released Energy around the FOCUS.
• Release the Unified Energy in the form of CONSCIOUSNESS (with the Consciousness Re-creation becomes possible).
• Thank “all our relations”.

Moreover

A Ceremony is used to Focus on a Plan of Approach towards the WHOLE or ONENESS, to be STRUCTURED around a Principle. Drama can be included to highlight the context in which the ritual is held.

• Focus: To centre all potentials within the context where the realisation of the plan is initiated.
• Plan of Approach: The orientation towards manifestation.
• Structure: Using the elements, space and time, to crystallise the plan.
• Principle: The constant around which order can be created.
• Drama: To emphasise the realisation of the plan with enthusiasm..

The most simple and powerful ceremony is constantly held around the eternal constant of the Infinite Universe, which is CHANGE. Thus Creation grows with the never ending ceremony, of Life.

Since the Human is the Microcosm of Creation, we must maintain ourselves in constant ceremony too. This we do by maintaining ourselves within the Life-cycle. Basically we are a link within the FOOD-cycle. Thus as a Microcosm we must relate to the Macrocosm by the:

• Growing of Food.
• Preparing of Food.
• Eating of Food.
• Assimilation of Food.
• Becoming Food for our Greatest Aspirations!

The first four stages we must daily observe in ceremony or in a sacred manner (sacred way of eating).

The last stage  must complete a cycle of CONSCIOUSNESS within a larger context. Therefore we Externally create a Contrast to the Potential Within. Thus, depending on what we want to highlight, the "fifth ceremony" must in essence MIRROR (dramatise) that that was brought forth by the "first four ceremonies". For this reason traditional ceremonies include Food offerings. The last offering is the EGO or "no existing me", to make place for the SELF, I AM or eternal me" who is in every one within the Circle.

The complete setting of the "fifth ceremony" requires us to observe:

• Focus:

Let participants know what the purpose is of the ceremony.

• Plan of Approach:

Include only ceremonial objects (medicine) which are meaningful to the plan (certain approach towards Self-realisation).

• Structure: 

Place the ceremonial objects in a harmonious order. As much as possible according to the order that exists within Creation.

• Principle:

Throughout the ceremony there must be a constant, so that each part can add up to the climax. The best constant is Change. Thus each stage must change into the next, so that beginning and end can meet as One. For this reason it is important that the Circle of all participants remains unbroken throughout the ceremony. Since the centre is the contracted circle....each one of the circle will then get to connect with the COMMON DENOMINATOR, which is the Centre that is in each one of the Circle, too. As such the ceremony will serve the ONENESS or GREATEST.

• Drama:

Every one of the participants can contribute by their own ability and capacity, to CARRY the ENERGY that the ceremony generates. It can be in silence or by any the expression that can add to the Consciousness by which the ceremony can resonate into the greater world or Whole. The ceremonies of a nation consider  their oneness or wholeness within a space that is bordered according to lines drawn on a map. The true ceremony has no boundaries and thus offers the challenge to "hold the space" at the time of the ritual.

Although the above tries to explain the specifics of different stages.... in the ceremony any MOMENT must resonate all the stages in a harmonious whole. In other words, each stage contains all stages. This principle is that of "the tree is in the seed and the seed is in the tree".

About Structure

It is known that when city-water has gone through the pipe system, it  looses one electron that will make the water contribute to the creation of disease, In other words, the water will then enhance chaos or the destructuring of the complex cell. This destructive condition we can remedy by letting the water flow through a spiralic pattern or even by consciously stirring it by a constructive pattern. This explains the specific setting of objects in a ceremony, to have the image of a certain STRUCTURE create the "ripple effect". Also certain shapes, colours, odours, tastes and minerals can be used to enhance certain structuring processes.

The ceremony with the use of medicine objects is not just of "pagans". Just observe the symbols and designs of all the Christian churches and that of the military during parades. Moreover, the symbols on money, the flag along with the national anthem, by which a whole nation can be steered into the sacrifice of many bodies, minds and souls, on the politically/economic created battlefield or ultimate altar of an inferior god.
