The Great Bands of Emanations and the Coat of Many Colors
#1
From the Fire From Within:

"The Eagle's emanations are always grouped in clusters, he went on. "The old seers called those clusters the great bands of emanations. "They aren't really bands, but the name stuck."
"Think of the great bands as being like trees. all of them bear fruit; they produce containers filled with emanations."
I have been reluctant to write this post being that it will be kind of long, so it will probably take more than a few postings to relate it. Also, it has to do with a personal experience and my interpretation of that experience has changed somewhat over time. Or, maybe it would be more accurate to say that my perspective is "added to" as time goes on. This is the way I see it at this period of my life.
"Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a coat of many colors." Gen. 37:3
I was sitting in my living room with my wife and my friend Mark. We were discussing spiritual things as we always do when Mark and I get together.
A thought went through my mind.
I had lately been bothered by something. It was that at our church it seemed that we all too often held our minister/teacher above us. In the respect that often times happens in occult circles the teacher is looked at as "more than human". This is not healthy, but it is a fact of life and a block in our understanding spiritual things. I had come to the conclusion that our teacher, though a remarkable man and very "spiritual", nevertheless was just "one of the bretheren".
The thought that went through my mind was this,...
If John,(my teacher) was one of the bretheren, then Jesus..."
I never finished the thought!
Great beams of light came down on me from above. I was enveloped in a power or powers that pinned me to my chair.
The beams of light were alive, I could sense that. They moved back and forth over me, through me and around me for the space of three or four feet. Those beams of light extended from above from forever, I could not tell how far they extended. The same is true for how far they reached into or through the earth. They moved like search lights, only straight up and down. They were of every color of the rainbow and many more colors.
Interspersed with those beams were flames of colored light.
The flames "licked" me both inside and out and "danced" around me and through me. The flames, also were of every concievable color and beyond that. All clear as crystal, but more colorful than anything I've experienced on earth.
The feeling that I was going through was a mixture of awe and exstacy. Though the colors were contantly changing, one thing was the same throughout. Both the flames and the beams nearer to the center of this column of light stayed whithin shades of Pink, though changing shades constantly.
Throughout this experience which lasted probably about ten minutes, all I could do was pray. I felt as if I was wrapped up in a cloak of beautiful power and colored light from above.
" What makes those eight bands produce awareness?" I asked.
"The Eagle bestows awareness through it's emanations," he replied.
His answer made me argue with him. I told him that to say the Eagle bestows awareness through it's emanations is like what a religious man would say about God, that God bestows life through love. It does not mean anything.
"The two statements are not made from the same point of view", he patiently said. "And yet, I think they mean the same thing. The difference is that seers SEE how the Eagle bestows awareness through it's emanations and religious men don't SEE how God bestows life through his love."
He said that the way the Eagle bestows awareness is by means of three giant bundles of emanations that run through eight great bands. These bundles are quite peculiar because they make seers feel a hue. One bundle gives the feeling of being beige-pink..."
"So it is a matter of seeing a hue when seers SEE that the Eagle bestows awareness through it's emanations," he went on. "Religious men don't SEE God's love, but if they would SEE it, they would know that it either Pink, Peach or Amber."
He explained that the gret bands are neither flat nor round, but indescribably clustered together, like a pile of hay, which is held together in midair by the force of the hand that pitched it. Thus, there is no order to the emanations; to say that there is a central part or that there are edges is misleading, but necessary to understanding."

Joseph's Dream
Ge 37:4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
Ge 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
Ge 37:6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
Ge 37:7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
Ge 37:8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
I wanted to point out some things here because;
1. Joseph is a dreamer and an interpreter of dreams. There are mysteries here that may be important, especially to some on this list.
2. There are similarities with the teachings of Don Juan that deal with both dreaming in particular and heightened awareness in general.
Joseph and his brothers are parts of us. Faculties within the human condition. Levi is love. Simeon is hearing, Reuben is seeing. etc.
These Faculties must come together in balance so that the complete person can function as we were intended to do. To reach the totality of ourselves in other words.
Different individuals exibit more or less of particular faculties. You may call this "talent' or a "spiritual gift" if it is more evolved.
Joseph falls into this latter catagory. His was a "spiritual gift which he never took credit for, but always said that it came from God.
We as human beings are "bundles of emanations" or "awareness".
You will notice in the dream related above, that the way Joseph and his brothers are portrayed is as "sheaves". Now we all know what a sheave is. Those bundles of corn that people tie together and stand in their front yards at Halloween. Those are sheaves of corn. In this Bible story, they would have been sheaves of wheat, as there was no corn in Palestine. That was discovered with the New World much later.
Notice also, that Joseph's sheave is different than his brother's sheaves. His stands on end, upright while his brother's are bowed down.
Notice the similarities with the sheaves and Don Juan's "great bands of awareness" and my description of the vision that I call "the Coat of Many Colors".
Now Joseph's brothers hate him because of the coat, and because of the dream. The dream that THEY have interpreted, mind you.
Anyway, because of that hate, his brothers throw him into a pit, sell him to slavers, he is a slave in Egypt, then wrongly accused of a crime and thrown into prison. He later interprets the Pharoah's dream and is raised up by the pharoah himself and put in charge of the entire Empire of Egypt. Second only to the Pharoah. There is a famine throughout all of the land of Egypt and Canaan and Joseph's brothers have to come begging their brother for food, though they don't recognise him at first.
It is here that the dream that started it all comes to pass, because at this "reunion" of the twelve brothers, we find the eleven, BOWING DOWN TO JOSEPH.
Just as in his dream.
So, in effect, it is there hate for him that brings about the thing that they were upset about in the first place. Them bowing down to him.
Now remember that Joseph AND his brothers are part of us.
It takes time and patience to let that part in us which is aware of the invisible, Joseph, to lead us. To let the spiritual side of us to be in charge, or to take control of our lives.
Joseph means "adding to" or multiplying our awareness.
He is a "stranger in a strange land" as Abraham was. As we are when going through some of those strange things that we experience.
In Moses blessing on the son's of Jacob, (or Israel as he is called sometimes), he says of Joseph; "Joseph is a fruitful bough whose branches reach over the wall..."
Is he speaking here about the "Wall of Fog?", or just a barrier of some sort?
I don't know. Think about these things. I'm sure that there are important Truths hidden here for some of you.
I know there have been for me and that I have not yet become aware of all of these Truths as yet.

Bright Flame,
Fascinating posts!
To correlate the CC info with the old testament and adding your own experience does wonders for thought. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us.

I am still piecing this together, and by no means think that I know what I am talking about. Only that I have seen and experienced some things in the past That seem to fit into more than one system of thought.
the bible and the Kabalah have long been linked together. The Kabalah, the study of the "Tree of Life" began to be written down much later than the Bible. It was commentaries upon the Scriptures past on by word of mouth and then written down much later.
Anyway, I see some parallels which may or may not "hold water", so to speak. But these are the things that jump out at me.
Jacob (The Supplanter or Following After the Lord), the Father of the twelve, (Joseph and his brothers) had many one on one expeiences with God and Angels. Each time, his name was changed for a time to Israel (Who is as God or Power with God.)
One of these experiences is seeing a Ladder that reached from heaven to earth. upon this Ladder were angels ascending and descending. At that point in time, he had an awareness, and said; "surely God is in this place and I knew it not."
This is an awareness of God being HERE, NOW..! Wherever we happen to be.
Now in the Kabbalah, the "Tree of Life" is sometimes referred to as "Jacobs Ladder" or "The Ladder of Lights".
THIS is what, I believe, is what Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jacob being one "generation" of understanding and Joseph being the next "generation". Both are us. Just, hopefully a bit further along the path. We build upon where we have gone before. That is the meaning of the coat being a gift from father to son. But also, the "Father" refers o the Gift originating with the "Father" in Heaven, the Creator, or Nagual, Power, etc.
The lights are the "beams of light" and the "angels" are the flames that dance among the beams.
So, in essence, the Coat of many colors is a vision of the "Tree of Life", one of the "Great Bands of Emanations", "Jacob's Ladder", and the "ladder of Lights".
By the way, the ten "Sephiroth" upon the Tree are referred to as "Emanations". They donote the ten powers of God.
The twelve "sheaves", or stacks of wheat or straw, in Joseph's dream I see as the "Luminous Eggs" made of light fibers of the brothers.
Joseph's "sheave" stood upright. Joseph's "sheave" was clothed in a "Coat of Many Colors", which was given to him by his "Father".
Joseph is that faculty within us that first steps into the "Spiritual Realm". The other "faculties" do not trust Joseph at first. But eventually the Father brings them together.
They all must eventually learn to trust the "forerunner" Joseph; he who was "separate from his bretheren". And eventually will, because the Father means for this to happen. When the dream of the reunion of the brothers is fulfilled, The brother's "eyes are opened",.. and they realize that it is indeed Joseph standing over them as ruler of the known world.
Josephs comment to his brothers is; "..be not greived or angry with yourselves, that you sold me hither; for God did send me before you..."
He also said "you meant it for evil, but God meant it for good."
What I get out of this is that there is a plan and reasons for the things we go through, even when we can't see it. And that we should excecise patience and faith that we are bound for something. Travelers who will eventually reach our destination.

Have you wondered if this was an experience of the mould of man?

Unless when percieving the great bands you feel their cataclysmic effects in TIME of your own tonal.. you are not truly percieving them...
A lifetime of re-coiling during horror movies or console games or spiders or snakes...has the unbalancing effect of enabling rational safeguards during VISIONS.
It is vital that when you see something real that you embrace it!

After 20 some years since experiencing this vision, I have come to know that it is many things.
The Mould of Man? Maybe, if that means the pattern by which we were created to function as more than Natural mankind.
It speaks of God coming down to man, and of inheritance,.. The Tree of life and the Coat of Many Colors.
Jacob's vision of the ladder that reached from heaven to earth and the promise "to his seed" after him to inherit the land. 
His realization that "Surely the Lord is in this place and I knew it not." "This Place" being wherever we happen to be.
The "land" being that awareness. 
His "seed" Joseph's actual wearing of the vision that Jacob had.
Joseph's growing in power and awareness down in Egypt (obscurity) and the promise of his eventual reunion with the brothers. (the Totality of ourselves)
The growing consciousness of "Christ in us, the hope of glory", the "Mystery hidden from generations and ages", growing inside of us also in obscurity, (Egypt.)
The promise of the birth of Manassah and Ephraim (Wisdom and Understanding) to the awareness that is Joseph.
The realization that Jesus is our brother and that we are fellow heirs with him.
The promise to Nathanael that he would see "angels ascending and descending upon the son of man."
The tongues of flames resting on the disciples at Pentecost.
The baptism of air, in that it came as a rushing and mighty wind.
The promise of the baptism of fire to come.
The promise of the return of Joseph in the New Jerusalem as one of the Gates which are one pearl in the wall surrounding that city.
That wall which is one Stone as Jasper, clear as Crystal.
When everything will be clear as chrystal.
And through that gate I will enter. There are twelve gates, but I think that one will be mine.
I am still learning from this vision and I wish that everyone could experience it, or something like it.
If not the vision, then the realizations that the vision has brought me.
The promises that it has brought to my attention and the fulfilment of those promises
And the promise of more to come.
Because even True Spiritual Vision is not as important as the realizations that it brings you.
All the best,
Bob

Prehaps you lightened up a new set of Emmanations ...a realization that the point can be moved from within  like a chicken inside an egg. What comes first Bob? Church or the truth. Persistant immpeccabilbity thats hard work, we live in objective seizure and subjective levity, the new seers might say your wasting your time. Tom dick and harry arn't all the same is it not glaringly obvious. Did they call an ambulance.....Bobs an ambulance.....how far will you go blow...give adam the old right hander. You see that the problem is that you should never judge by appearances.

have a nice day
