Why Ancient Gods Sit This Way: The Forgotten Posture Hidden in Sacred Art. — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:08Across our shared world iconography,
2. 0:11from India to Rome and from pagan Europe
3. 0:15to the Renaissance,
4. 0:17a single subtle yet powerful posture
5. 0:20appears again and again. deities and
6. 0:25masters with a heel drawn inward toward
7. 0:28the paranium,
8. 0:30the anatomical gateway at the very base
9. 0:33of the torso.
10. 0:37At first glance, it seems incidental.
11. 0:40But when you compare traditions, take an
12. 0:43interest in energy work, study the
13. 0:47anatomy, and look closely at the
14. 0:49artwork, you realize something truly
15. 0:52astonishing.
16. 0:54That this posture is a practical method
17. 0:57for initiating the ascent of the
18. 0:59condalini serpent and activating the
19. 1:03inner eye at the head center.
20. 1:07In the Vadic tradition, this
21. 1:10configuration closely resembles Sid
22. 1:13Hazana or the accomplished pose. A
23. 1:18posture long associated with the
24. 1:20awakening of condundalini and the upward
25. 1:24movement of vital force.
26. 1:28Here sages sit with the heel pressing
27. 1:31toward the ga mama point and the
28. 1:35mulhadara chakra the anatomical root of
29. 1:39the conserved creative energy at the
30. 1:42paranium.
31. 1:46In Dowist and Chinese traditions, the
32. 1:49same point is known as Hoy Yin, the
33. 1:53convergence of the Ren D and Chong
34. 1:58meridian channels.
35. 2:00This region is the gateway through which
36. 2:03the conserved creative force enters the
37. 2:06spinal column.
38. 2:08When the heel draws toward this point,
39. 2:12it provides leverage at the hinge-like
40. 2:15pubic symphysis
41. 2:17stimulates the sacral or sacred plexus
42. 2:21nerve bundle in the lower back and
43. 2:24encourages the upward movement of the
44. 2:27powerful vital force into the lumbar
45. 2:31vertebrae.
46. 2:33As this energy rises, it begins to
47. 2:36influence the ventricles and sinuses of
48. 2:39the brain, the cerebral spinal fluid,
49. 2:43the phalamus or inner chamber, and the
50. 2:47sensory pathways,
51. 2:49thus contributing to the awakening of
52. 2:52the head center and the opening of the
53. 2:55inner eye. the seat of illumination
54. 2:59spoken of by so many of our wise and
55. 3:03subtle ancestors.
56. 3:06So what appears to be a simple posture
57. 3:09is in truth an anatomical mechanism with
58. 3:14profound energetic implications.
59. 3:20And this same configuration appears in
60. 3:22western sacred art too. On the
61. 3:26Gundastrop cauldron, Cerninus sits with
62. 3:29his heel tucked into the paranium.
63. 3:32Serpent in hand, antlers rising,
64. 3:37a triad of symbols pointing to the great
65. 3:40energetic ascent.
66. 3:44In the Vatican statue of Mithra, the
67. 3:47mediator god subdues the bull, the
68. 3:50material body, while a serpent rises
69. 3:54from a cracked rock, echoing the
70. 3:57condundalini emerging from the sacrum.
71. 4:01A scorpion grips the bull's gonads, a
72. 4:04stark reminder of the power of creative
73. 4:08force conservation.
74. 4:11Even Michelangelo's creation of Adam can
75. 4:14be read as an anatomical allegory.
76. 4:18Here, Adam's heel subtly draws toward
77. 4:21the sacred point, mirroring Vadic sages,
78. 4:26while the entire fresco becomes a
79. 4:29depiction of awakening the head center
80. 4:32and the connection to the divine that
81. 4:35follows.
82. 4:37These artworks are not coincidences.
83. 4:40They are instructions
84. 4:43encoded by initiates
85. 4:45preserved by artists
86. 4:48and just waiting to be rediscovered.
87. 4:54But why, you may ask, would artists and
88. 4:56patrons encode such subtle esoteric
89. 5:00knowledge into their masterpieces?
90. 5:03Well, it's because the process they
91. 5:06depict is ancient, transformative, and
92. 5:09reveals the hidden potential of the
93. 5:12human body.
94. 5:14Please remember that every revolutionary
95. 5:17idea seems impossible until that moment
96. 5:20it becomes obvious. And this one, with
97. 5:23the spread of technology and access to
98. 5:26all, is now starting to become obvious
99. 5:30once again.
100. 5:32The practices hinted at in these
101. 5:34artworks are age-old,
102. 5:37powerful, revolutionary,
103. 5:40and ripe for rediscovery.
104. 5:46To make this symbolism practical, we can
105. 5:49now explore three simple nonsexual
106. 5:52anatomically focused awareness exercises
107. 5:55inspired by the posture itself.
108. 5:58The first is the heel to paraneium
109. 6:01configuration.
110. 6:03Sitting comfortably, draw one heel
111. 6:05toward the pelvic floor region, applying
112. 6:09gentle pressure to the paranium.
113. 6:12This position naturally engages the
114. 6:15lower spine and sacral area, helping the
115. 6:19body release tension that can accumulate
116. 6:23during periods of high activity, stress,
117. 6:27and especially during periods of
118. 6:30disciplined creative energy work.
119. 6:34The gentle leverage at the pubic
120. 6:37symphysis encourages the lower spine to
121. 6:40open, allowing the vital force to rise
122. 6:44more freely toward the head center.
123. 6:49The second practice uses the hand in
124. 6:52[clears throat] the horns gesture
125. 6:54configuration.
126. 6:56Please see my hand signs YouTube video
127. 6:59for more on this.
128. 7:02By forming this gesture and placing the
129. 7:04knuckles at the paranium, the
130. 7:06practitioner can bring awareness to the
131. 7:09hoy yin or ga mama point region.
132. 7:14Here the knuckles act as a subtal
133. 7:17pressure point engaging the same
134. 7:20anatomical gateway as the heel and
135. 7:23encouraging the same upward movement of
136. 7:26energy into the spinal column.
137. 7:29This is a simple somatic gesture that
138. 7:33mirrors the symbolic hand positions seen
139. 7:36in Vadic and Buddhist art.
140. 7:40The shin hand gesture common in
141. 7:43Renaissance artwork can also be used to
142. 7:46pull on the pubic symphysis,
143. 7:50helping to release tension and relieve
144. 7:53pain and stiffness [laughter] that can
145. 7:55be experienced when conserving the
146. 7:58powerful creative energy.
147. 8:03The third practice uses a simple tennis
148. 8:07ball as a tool for somatic pressure.
149. 8:10This may be the easiest for those
150. 8:13experiencing difficulties with their
151. 8:15legs or hands.
152. 8:18Sitting on a soft surface, place the
153. 8:21ball behind the pubic symphysis and lean
154. 8:24forward until pressure is felt.
155. 8:28This helps leverage the hinge-like pubic
156. 8:31symphysis and apply pressure to the
157. 8:34surrounding muscles, encouraging
158. 8:36relaxation and supporting the same
159. 8:39upward movement of vitality that the
160. 8:42heel and hand practices facilitate.
161. 8:47A simple modern tool can therefore serve
162. 8:49the same anatomical purpose as the
163. 8:52ancient postures encoded in sacred art.
164. 8:57If you'd like to explore these
165. 8:59anatomical and energetic principles in
166. 9:02greater depth, you can find them
167. 9:04expanded throughout my book, The
168. 9:06Anatomical Alchemist Weapons of the
169. 9:10Gods.
170. 9:12So sometimes the greatest discoveries
171. 9:16are not new truths, but ancient truths
172. 9:20remembered.
173. 9:22What was once hidden in stone, symbol,
174. 9:26and sacred art may ultimately reveal the
175. 9:29untapped potential within ourselves
176. 9:33and a forgotten path to the awakening of
177. 9:38humanity.
