The Supreme God
While the Gods are real. Their persona's where also lent to the alchemical culture of symbolism. Which represented the formula for the perfection of the soul. This is where the stories also become allegory.
In the ancient world our God in the symbolic sense was depicted as being blue, and eternally young. Remember in the Rig Veda the oldest text, the title of our religion as Sanat-ana Dharma is stated.
Ana as the prefix of Ananta Shesha which is the primordial serpent. Depicted as a serpent in a golden circle clutching its tail. The sign of the Magnum Opus. This golden serpent Is given the title of "Eternity" [Ananta]. And refers to the title of "Lord of Time." As time in this sense relates to the perfection of the soul.
Dharma relates to this as well. The Chinese Dao or Taoism is stated be mean the same as Dharma. Tao also relates the element of ether the Tao Cross. And the staff is also called a Tau. And we have Taus Melek. As a title for Satan. Who has the Serpent and Peacock. The symbols of the Magnum Opus.
Ananta Shesha is depicted as the seven headed serpent in the ancient world. In Sumeria ENKI was symbolically depicted in this fashion resting upon the cosmic ocean.
And we have the fact Sanat is an anagram for Satan.
Sanatana Dharma relates to our Creator God. It translates to Eternal Life or Perfection.
Going deeper into the symbolism of our God in the ancient Tradition we find.
Its known the Vedic Sun God [Agni/Surya]. Was the God Osiris in Egypt. And if one does enough research Ptah and Osiris are interchangeable to the point they are the same God. Ptah's staff is connected to the star Sirius. Which is the star Isis rules. Osiris's name is related to this power principal the combination of the energies of the soul. Ptah is born from the egg via a serpents mouth. So is Osiris shown emerging reborn from the mouth of a serpent. Etc
Ptah and Osiris are both depicted as blue.
In the Osiris tradition. Horus [titled actually Hari] is created by a divine union of Osiris and Isis. Horus then brings his father back to life. This is important because it relates to the avatar concept. Horus as the texts state is the resurrected [transformed] Osiris. This is an allegory for the union of the male and female aspects of the souls. And the rebirth of the new soul that comes from it. The symbol of Hari [Horus] transformed or perfected state is the six pointed star. Or hexagram.
The Jews stole this symbol not all that long ago in history and tried to apply it to their imposter diety. Judaism exposed:

Horus bears the title proper of Hari Krist but in all reality going right back to the Sanskrit it would be Krisna. Krisna was in this region as the title for the sun god among other spelling. So we have Hari Krisna of Egypt. Further images of him in Egypt found in some regions show him to be identical in appearance to Krisna of India. In Egypt he is shown as the blue coloured child, holding his finger to his mouth and a clay pot in the other. Same as Krisna of India. The Greek version of him as Harpocrates from the Egyptian Har-Pa-Khered: "Horus The Child." Shows him sitting with the clay pot [like Krisna's butter pot] feather in his hair and all. Identical to the images of the God in India. This God also rests upon the serpent or lotus flower. Identical to Krisna of India once again The eagle and Falcon are interrelated as well. Just as the Peacock is the Phoenix in Egypt. The eagle plays prominently in the avatar tradition in India.
As DM. Murdock points out in the earlier traditions of Krisna. He like Horus[Hari] is crucified , in this case upon a tree by being pinned or pierced to it by arrows and later resurrected or ascends. Upon this the tree which is next to the river, regenerates and grows and rains lotus blossoms and gives off fragrances.
This is allegorical for the rebirth of the soul the tree represents the soul the spinial column and the branches the nadis. The fragrances and lotus the energy of the purified soul. The arrows symbolize fixing the energy. As Krisna is as ancient texts state as is an avatar of Ananta Shesha the serpentine life force. As all avatars are. Before it was a man on a tree or cross it was a crucified serpent. The point of all this being to raise the serpent and turn the chakra's into gold.
In India the symbol on the banner of the supreme God, Lord Narayan is the six pointed star or Hexagram. Narayan is Krisna. Who is shown with the Peacock and his flute has the Peacock at the end of it. The flute represents the Mount Meru or spinal column and the Peacock standing upon the top. The same as the Phoenix of Egypt upon the Tet Pillar of Ptah-Osiris.
Krisna is stated to be eternally young, [Sanat Kumara literally, Eternal Youth] blue God.
This is why Murugan symbol is the six pointed star as well. Murugan as proven is Sanat Kumara in Sri Lanka. Siva and the Goddess unification generates Murugan. Murugan is the White stage of the work. His totem is the Peacock because the Peacock represents the Phoenix or purified soul. In Sri Lanka the Peacock is shown sitting on top the Mount Meru Pillar.Another symbol which represents the Phoenix is the grail.
In Greece its know that Dionysus is also Osiris the tale of Zeus or Zan [All] who is depicted as blue in colour like Osiris-Ptah. Dionysus [the perfected Zeus] is brought forth from the cosmic egg, [and is the eternally young one]. like Ptah and Brahma. Ptah, Amun and Ra. Where the original Trinity in Egypt by finds. Ra also comes forth from the Cosmic Egg. The Egg symbolises the ether element that all the elements generate from the micro of the universe. Just a new life is formed in the egg by the union of the male and female and manifests into life and grows till its hatched from the egg "reborn" so does the soul. Remember the majority of serpents give birth by egg.
Its stated in the Eastern texts that the Tapa's or spiritual practices which generate the internal spiritual fire that purify and unify the soul. Bring forth the new soul just as the warming of the egg by a Hen generates the new chick to hatch forth.
If we go to the America's we will find the same Blue Creator God worshipped from South, Central and North America. With the same symbols, concepts and titles. From Votan to Nagi Tanka.etc
In the East we find ENKI as Matsya [ The Fish] who saves human kind from being wiped out in a great flood. Matsya is identically depicted to Oannes. Another title for ENKI in the Near East:
Ichthys, or the Fish, was one of the names of Dionysus and the divine phallus
was also shown in the shape of fish. The phallus is the spinal column with the
kundalini full risen. EA [Oannes] is also shown as a Fish cloaked God in the ME
and Lord of the Water for the same reason. The life force.

With the Grail legends we always have the Fisher King. Who is another alias of our God:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JoSNewsletter/message/210
The reborn soul is shown coming forth from out of a Yoni [upwards Fish] in many cases. The Yoni is also egg shaped.
One of the symbols Narayan carries is the golden or solar disk which is the ancient symbol of the grail as well. The disk represents the golden circle of the Magnum Opus. This disk relates to the round table in the Arthurian legends as well to the concept of the temple of the sun. Which ancient writers stated was a flat round solar disk divided into 12 parts. The 12 steps of the Magnum Opus. We see this in Egypt as the Aton.
Its been stated that originally in the East all the avatars of Visnu. Are infact avatars of Brahma originally. The sun God [Satan] from the Vedic period under the title of Surya among many other titles. Was depicted as Blue and four armed, wearing the sacred crown that represents the top on the Mount Meru column with the cap stone or cap that sits upon it. Ie the Magnum Opus. The title for this God is Narayan
Originally this title is for Brahma, even images of Brahma upon the lotus show him in the image of Narayan as does the images of him in his temple in India. Today people believe this image to be of Visnu.
Brahma upon the lotus is the same image of Horus [Hari] upon the Lotus. Hari is another title for Brahma originally. Brahma is depicted as the Eternal Youth in many icons.
This is important as the Visnu religion of today is a recreation of an older but its been rewritten.
The yantra that is associated with Visnu's is based upon the sixty four number grid of the Mercury and a circle with a square. If you look at all the ancient temples in the East are built to look like a huge Linga and Yoni. A circle within a square. This also represents the Meru Axis. The Circle within a Square is the symbol of the union of the male and female aspects of the soul and the perfected stated.
Note in Egypt the Pyramid at Giza is built to code of the Mercury square and the Egyptians called it "Mer." Or "The place of Ascension [transformation]." The ancient term Mer relates to the light of the soul and the perfected state. Hence Mer-cury or Mer-u. Mero was another title for the Gods and perfected ones. And another title for Satan. As Mero was another title of Enki.
Waddel stated that sanskirt "Meru" has the same meaning as the Sumerian "Edin." Even within the title Sumerian is what is also called in the East, the Sumeru axis the Sanskirt Su and Meru together. Edin was the Sumerian Atlantis. Which in the East, Sanat Kumara ruled over.
At the top of this Meru Axis symbol is depicted the realm of Brahma. This is also where the Phoenix or Peacock sits. The symbol of Satan.
This is why the Mer-cury square is depicted within the yantra for the Magnum Opus. As the Eastern texts state the purified Mercury represents Siva. But Siva in this period has taken the place of Brahma. So originally Brahma relates to this. And hence why the Staff of Mer-cury was originally called the "Staff of Brahma."
The statues of Brahma have this symbol of the circle within the square which we can see is related to the Mercury perfected. The White Stage which Brahma represents.
In the West where our God was worshipped as Wod, Wodan, Budhaya. Which as shown by Higgin's is another spelling of Ptah. We can known what colour he was depicted as. The warriors would rub a BLUE paint sacred to the war God [Woden] which was called Wod. Upon themselves before battle for spiritual protection. Budhaya is Mercury in sanskirt.
This is why Brahma is originally depicted as being Blue and four armed in the image of the Narayan [All]. The Blue in this case symbolizes the colour of the ether or Mer-cury element, perfected. As part of this the perfection of the four elements hence the four arms represent. The fifth being the whole being together.
Hence the title of "All." The unification of the soul and the energy centers and powers with govern it into one whole. Thus the title of being made whole, or healed in the alchemical traditions of the ancient world.
This is the reason the 6 pointed star was the symbol of Narayan originally. The Hexagram represents the union of the male and female into a whole. And this relates to Saturn because Saturn represents the Gold in the working. Hence the symbolic rulership of Saturn over the Golden Age in Western Hermetic Tradition. Saturn in this tradition is symbolized as the Phoenix.
In the East we have the Sat-ya Yuga as the Golden Age. Brahma as Hari means "The Golden one."
In Sanskirt SAT means Truth. Truth in the ancient world was another name for illumination and transformation of the soul. When the kundalini power rises it brings a person to SAT by illumination of the consciousness it brings which is what they where depicting by the title of Truth. We can see SATyam rules the crown charka in the Vedic Gayatri mantra. Saturn rules the root chakra where the kundalini energy rests. Rising to the crown to bring Sat. This is why the strength of the soul is its ability to reach levels of truth in the Egyptian texts. Levels of empowerment.
This is also depicted as being Mercury. The horned serpent. Enki has a staff with the Ram's head upon the top in Sumeria for the same reason.
As stated before:
Ana as the prefix of Ananta Shesha which is the primordial serpent. Depicted as a serpent in a golden circle clutching its tail. The sign of the Magnum Opus. This golden serpent Is given the title of "Eternity" [Ananta]. And refers to the title of "Lord of Time." As time in this sense relates to the perfection of the soul.
This is why Satan [Sanat] rules Saturn. Saturn as the ancient Pagan, Roman writer and initiate, Macrobius stated is another title for the sun. Saturn and Opis [the serpent] being among two of the most ancient deities of the region. Saturn is also referred to as the Lord of Time.
Saturn and Opis as the ancients mentioned where also Ptah-Osiris and Isis in Egypt.
This is why Brahma holds the title of Lord of Time. Within this title
is B-RA-hma. The ancient Egyptians stated the creation of the body of Ra as the Magnum Opus as well. And called the Chak-RA's. The seven souls of Ra. We have Raja Yoga as the ancient title for Yoga. And the 8 fold path being called the Brahmayana. The straight path to Godhead.
We also find the same again with Mithras as the Lion headed Lord of Time or Aeon in the West. Which corresponds to another one of Brahma's avatars in the East: Narasimha.
Mithras is another eternally young God.
Another note of this is in China. Which had thousands of Vedic Temples within it. And their spiritual texts are full of passages from the Vedic ones. We find Brahma as the highest God of Taoism. Yaun Shin Tien Tsun.

The Avatar concept relates to the Magnum Opus. It's a title for one who has unified the soul. And thus become in the symbolic image of the God who icon and mythos represents this. Hence why Brahma was the title for the one who had finished the Magnum Opus in the ancient East.
Every Avatar is a symbolic tale of the Magnum Opus.
An interesting example Is Rama who conquerors the asura's leading an army of monkeys under his aid Hanuman. To regain his female lover from the enemy city. And once he slays the asura king and his army. Unites with SIta in their kingdom [soul] and is crowned the Dharma King. The Magnum Opus.
Hanuman is shown carrying a mace within it is the Tau symbol and he rules over Vayu. The monkey army is symbolic of the energies of the soul flooding the body and purifying it of the dross or asuric element. No different then the Olympians fighting the Titans. Vayu is the wind which relates to the life force energy or mercury. The energy pathways ware called the "wind channels." In the East. And obviously monkeys live in tree's. And have great strength. Just as the Elephant or lion is used to depicted this energy.
In Rama's quest you can see the Western Grail mythos. Where the rewrites of the Krisna epic are sad. The epic of Rama while altered. Still contains many elements of the Heroic cycle within them. A Hero who conquerors immorality and builds a Golden Age Empire. Much like Arthur.
