Visions of ancient places?

[Satan_is_our_Father666]

I very rarely get visions. My astral sight (almost all senses) suck and it takes me a lot to stimulate the eye to see something.
But lately, mostly when fresh from Ritual (of course) I've been seeing on multiple occasions what look like ancient places, murals with lines, dots and colors, and just moments ago (what made me decide to write a topic in here) what looked like a temple room with three larger oil burner on each side (so six burners) and a final burner in the center of the room to the far end. The 2 sets were in a "canal" filled with water, the final burner on a small rock pedestal.

To be honest I thought of the chakras immediately. I visualized the 3 from each side moving in axis with the final one and burning with a much fiercer fire, and felt it was something powerful. So far this was the clearer vision I got, easy to imagine its meaning.

What do you think it means? Perhaps that my first six chakras have to be "moved" in some way and this will activate the 7 fully and raise the serpent?

The Ritual removes blockages and curses upon our soul, it readily allows us to access some things about ourselves that we may have struggled to do so before, this includes past-life memories. What you saw may have been a brief flash of memory from a past life of something you actually physically looked upon at some point.

This has happened to me in regards my own past life somewhere between the 1100s and 1400s. It was a brief view of looking through my eyes at a town market and looking up at the sky casually, it felt like I was physically there for the few seconds it lasted. This gave me some trivial insight on medieval towns and how they were structured. They're nothing like the organized cities of today. They were very tightly compact with no rhyme or reason to house positions, no roads, just cluttered and messy, none of the houses even really faced the same direction. Very claustrophobic, unhygienic and unsanitary.

The only order there seemed to have been was clearings for the castles and churches, rough pathways weaving through the buildings and a couple open area patches of which some businesses like barbers (don't even get me started on how awful those were) were run. When I did some research on medieval towns afterwords to confirm this, I found a couple of the most preserved locations that showed this to be highly accurate, and mind you I never knew this prior.

With these flashes of memory they're just fun little things to see and may even help you know about where you were, who you were, etc, etc in a past life.

I'm glad you feel motivated, just remember to recognize your limits which is probably a joke coming from me.

No need to apologize for writing so much either, people with high air do that, we love communication, information, speech, etc, this is why the vast majority of my responses to people are so long and thought out. I enjoy reading what people have to share and I enjoy communicating what I have to share, I practically live on this forum when I'm not meditating.

And in regards to my 'sticking with fire' comment, fire is my dominant element. It's the element I'm most prominent in and have the most connection to, the concept of pyrokinesis has always been a favourite of mine. But I am also Earth and Air. These three elements are very high in me and almost perfectly balanced with fire only being slightly higher, so I'm almost equally drawn to all three of these elements and their properties.

I like to amuse myself in regards to my animal, the dragon, regarding this, in that traditional dragons are spiritually symbolical of just these three elements (fire breath, earthly lairs and materialistic hoards, wings for flight the sky and air) and are masters over them, but not water.

I have no planets with water so I was severely lacking in it and have to invoke that manually when it gets too low; It's actually kind of gotten too high lately so I've been leaving it on it's own for a while. So you see you can have other high elements and be interested in them as well, this doesn't mean you've 'betrayed' the element that represents you and that you're most connected with. We should learn to master all.

I'm also glad you're discovering things about yourself, knowing who you are really helps with personal advancement in ways most people don't realize.

I'm glad you said that too. I think I'm the same here, always heeded HP Pythia's advice on going slowly and easily AT FIRST, but then taking it a step further very quickly, especially with Elements. I guess it's a good thing I always was so resistant to energy or I could have fucked myself up very often.

Your Element situation sounds a lot like mine, with the difference that my Air is the slightly stronger than the balanced rest, and Earth is completely absent. I guess your all time fascination with Pyrokinesis compares to mine with TK given our dominant Elements. Sorry if I repeat myself sometimes, I just find this so curious and interesting now that I managed to 'crack the solution' somehow after so long, sometimes I feel like I have to prove to myself I know my Elements and what I have been good at. I could use Fire and Water as well (a duality that deeply fascinated me since forever to be honest), but I don't know how well one would use them both being them so opposite in nature. This is why I started absorbing and using Fire yesterday after the morning Rituals and to my surprise I felt it greatly, with no side effects at all. If anything, my lacking of a strong connection between my heart/shoulders/hand chakras became more apparent, like Fire easily 'pointed them out'. I need to work on them much more, making it a habit wherever I am.

I love dragons. I know they live in the astral of course but don't know much about it yet, never had a successful astral projection yet (if that's what you used to reach it and visit it, I read very differing reports concerning astral projection, some even just saying they didn't experience anything other than the normal physical reality while in spiritual form, no ghosts, no Demons, nor other creatures).

'Betraying' my Element is something I am actually concerned with, so thank You for stating it. Now that I know enough about Air and how it would make sense to use it in an aggressive way, I also understand how difficult that would be for me in my current state. For some reason, I still tend to think "want firepower? Use Fire instead". Certainly has to do with my belief that Fire is "the ultimate Element for destruction", and that concept in these troubled days has only gotten stronger. That, along with Haures showing up after years of silence on the eve of my choosing Fire and destruction... made it all the more clear to me what I should do. Won't even count for the good results I had absorbing Fire: other than the obvious 'you touch Fire, you get scorched', I could handle it pretty well.
Knowing myself, I'm definitely going back to Air after I acknowledge my current limitations with Fire and will want an Element I can tolerate more (probably drifting through Water briefly in order to see if I had improved at all during this period, but I doubt I'll stick with it long again).

I do, of course, tend to value the advice of the Gods more than anything in the end, so Fire will remain my choice as suggested by my experience with Haures. (Yesterday, also, I thought the blonde goddess wearing white with a STRONG golden aura I saw might have been Her again. Can't be too sure yet as the vision was too brief and fuzzy perhaps, but it just feels right.

I think I'll try to do what I know is right, balancing all of the Elements while I try to get a better feel for each and see what news they bring. One good thing about Elemental magick, you can never get bored with it, it's always leading to something new, a new realization, a new concept, an unexpected improvement. If a trail, other than Fire, becomes so damn obvious I can't ignore it, I'll follow it too and see what it leads to.

Sometimes we need to objectively see how we were so we can figure out how we want to be.

That's splendid advice, man. I often use old diaries to see how I was years ago and check how much I improved. I only wonder what it's going to feel like in a few years, when I will definitely be improved and more skilled and read of my old weaker self.
