What is Astroshamanism?

This 53rd issue of PAN heralds the forthcoming entrance of the Sun in Scorpio (Sector 8), announcing the voyage into the deep autumnal mysteries of death and regeneration. The Scorpio energy is outstandingly boosted on Tuesday, 24 October 2006, when six planets will be simultaneously treading on that sign. This is a most suitable time for activating major transformation and release processes, including the unbending dedication to, and implementation of, profound ancestral passions and desires. That day is particularly appropriate for release healing practices, such as the Basic Ritual of the Sacred Cone, both at an individual and collective level. On that occasion within the astroshamanic network we are promoting a series of ceremonies and meetings. If you feel drawn, please join us and then share any vision or experience you receive in the process.
Thw Scorpio cycle offers increased opportunities for letting go of secret and grieving stories that continue to cause damage in the personal and collective environment. The first step in releasing is acknowledging, being transparent. This is the most delicate step, as well as the most powerful. It involves taking the risk of facing the issue, of giving it shape, of honestly recapitulating it and challenging denials. This is the first step in healing because it is the gateway to healing. It is a most courageous and decisive enterprise for this step does not provide the perception that healing is actually taking place. This is the challenge. Healing is indeed copiously occurring, yet at a level which is beyond my perception. Hence releasing is an act of trust, and this trust is more easily available when the release is preceded by an Intent. The protocol of the Basic Ritual of the Sacred Cone involves first focusing on an Intent and then proceeding to the Release stage, followed by the third stage of integration and healing.
The current PAN covers the captivating eve leading to Samhain, which for Celtic and other ancient cultures represented the end of the old year and the start of the new. This festival, lasting from sunset on 31 October to sunset on 1 November, is regarded as a time when the veil between the ordinary separated reality, or Human Arbitrary Configuration (HAC), and other bordering dimensions is thinner. On this occasion it was believed that ancestors could return and celebrate with their tribe and families. For ancient people Samhain was primarily an official HAC-free zone, a point outside ordinary time and perception in which the artificial order of life would unveil its gaps and crash. This is what indiscriminately happens at the moment of death, as well as during sleep and other non-ordinary states of consciousness. In this respect Samhain and Scorpio, with all their seemingly obnoxious references to mortality, shed light on the golden gateway of liberation, the bridge between HAC (the reality based on separation) and the Core Multidimensional Identity (CMI), i.e. the galactic centre, the realm of unity, or web of life.
Scorpio is the custodian of the mysteries of what we truly are beyond the identification with the physical body. This identification inescapably expires through death, yet the awareness of death for Scorpio is at work at all times since it abides right at the threshold of the multidimensional gateway. The awareness of these mysteries has been guarded in most restricted circles and maintained in brotherhoods and sisterhoods, such as the Provisional Order, who made it almost inaccessible to initiates and definitely out of bound for the bulk of ordinary mankind. It seems as if now a time has come for allowing a strategic part of this awareness to flow into the ordinary HAC world. Yet it has to be made clear that this unveiling appears to have cyclically happened on this planet and is more part of a loop script dynamic rather than the result of evolutionary processes. According to the game tactics employed by some esoteric orders who guard the access to the multidimensional threshold this time is identified by the years from 2000 to 2012, and in particular 2007-2012 (see full details in PAN issue 52 and some minor references in the article below, titled Approaching the Gateway Zone).
As a result of the above developments most forthcoming astroshamanic events will take a closer and unprecedented experiential look into the mysteries of space-time gateways and our multidimensional nature. An innovative workshop, titled Awakening Your Multidimensional Self: Astroshamanic Healing through Time and Space (see details in the calendar below), will be held in several European cities with the aim of activating and promoting multidimensional reawakening in highly populated zones, with particular regards to political, cultural and financial centres. The first workshop takes place on 25-26 November 2006 in Frankfurt (Germany), organized by Holistic Dialogue (emansson@hotmail.com), the second in Rome (16-17 December 2007), then Edinburgh (5-7 January 2007), London (10-11 February 2007) and other European cities.
Please contact me if you wish to know more about any aspect of astroshamanic work. If you are drawn by some of the themes dealt with in PAN I invite you to take part in forthcoming astroshamanic events, courses, trainings, group or individual sessions. If you want to verify whether astroshamanism is the right thing for you and can truly serve you, please feel free to contact me and arrange a free appointment.
With profuse love and admiration of your unique multidimensional nature, Franco

PAN is available free to anyone who has attended astroshamanic events/sessions or simply wishes to receive it. If you find PAN useful, inspiring, appealing or perhaps even revealing, any donation (small, medium or big) would be greatly appreciated (for further details contact PAN@astroshamanism.org). Donations will encourage us to continue on this path and possibly further develop PAN. Donations will also support our project of creating an Astroshamanic Healing centre. The total amount of donations received so far in more than one year is £ 100 (all given by the same donor, to whom we are very grateful). We are open to receive contributions also from other donors.

Approaching the Gateway Zone. The Human Arbitrary Configuration (HAC), i.e. human ordinary reality, is bound by linear time and cause-effect patterns. This means that HAC inhabitants (i.e. ordinary human beings) define themselves according to what they have been in the past. What they are now depends on what they have been ten, twenty or thirty years or even ten, twenty or thirty minutes later. Whatever they experience now is the result of things happened in linear time, the effect of a later cause. A multidimensional being, i.e. an astroshaman or anyone open to non-HAC, alternatively, bases his identity in terms of who she is shape-shifting into, and not on who he has been in the past. Non-HAC transcends linear time and all related ordinary individualities, it is devoid of causes and is based on effects, or rather causes and effects are not based on linear time, which means that something happening today may be caused by something happening in one year. A multidimensional being is therefore able to move beyond HAC, enjoying free circulation through infinite configurations, shape-shifting in any form at will, and being able in any moment to choose where to emerge or disappear both in time and space. For ages on this HAC planet this capacity has only be available to an insignificant minority of intrepid shamans and most marginal folks who had the guts to venture through the terrifying boundaries that separate HAC from non-HAC. Since this frontier zone is extremely dangerous, most of them were annihilated in their endeavour, they were locked in the gap, trapped in a frightening limbo from which they may never return. In the Epic of the Sacred Cone this limbo zone is the Paheka Rubhe. The strategic context of the current HAC linear time involves the possibility of an easier access to non-HAC. The years from 2007 to 2012 appear crucial in this respect. These six years (related to the last six signs, from Libra to Pisces) sustain the labour for the emergence of the multidimensional body out of the final dissolution of the individual body. This radical shift from individual to multidimensional, which the years from 2007 to 2012 are alleged to implement, entails becoming fully aware that HAC is a gateway meant either to facilitate or to block the birthing of multidimensional awareness. The process of facilitation involves acquiring experiential and operative identification with larger collective and multidimensional bodies. The novelty of this development is that the identification moves beyond the confinement of HAC linear time, embracing parallel realities, unseen spaces and whatever has been split so far from human consciousness up to the complete alignment with the Core Multidimensional Identity (CMI). This means that it will be a multidimensional phenomenon, potentially releasing our HAC state of detention and opening up the gates from linear into non-linear time. Reactivating our multidimensional body and moving beyond the confinement of our HAC identities may be a more available opportunity for those who are determined to take a quantum leap. Astroshamanism is strategically and playfully embracing this enterprise. (Franco Santoro)


Mindfulness at work, claiming the multidimensional self at the work place by Valérie Saintot

Valérie is French, married to a swede, they live in Germany and are the parent of a boy of 3 years and a half. As a convinced European she works in European arenas for the last 12 years. She is living in Frankfurt for 7 years. Besides her work she is active in the field of personal and spiritual development, hosting groups and leading seminars.

After choosing the business world as my daily playground, I have chosen to try and live a business life where I care for both my professional performance and my spiritual practice. Working for a European institution was since my late teenage and early adulthood answering to a deep desire to contribute to the European peace project and the building of a political ideal born in post WWII times.
I have the chance to have already been able to work in two European institutions, once at the start of my career in Luxembourg 12 years ago and now in Frankfurt for the last seven years. In itself this is not so special. I explain all this as it underlines my quest for making peace and unity a daily reality also in the work place. After a visioning process to receive clear guidance on my way of fulfilling my life mission in the present phase of my life, I was shown the path of mindfulness as a mean to bring this peace into my work place or at least in a small corner of my work place as it is always useful to create a platform out of which one can lead by example.
Between the vision and its manifestation, three years of aborted and misunderstood attempts had to take place before a positive response was given to my request of having a dedicated room for meditation practices. This happened the last working day of last year. I got a phone call telling me that Room NN in building MM was free and I could use it for meditation practices. Very ego comforting to have a vision but very much ego frightening to have the chance to give it a shape! After having physically externalise my paralysis provoked by the simple thought of having to move forward with this project, I lost my voice for one week while leading a four-day Sylvester retreat. It is only one month later that I could really start acting upon this marvellous opportunity. I finally committed to materialize this vision and started to gather some more strength. I could find colleagues ready to financially and morally support this project. We needed to buy mats and cushions, put a class offer together, and inform all our colleagues. This last aspect of informing everybody was very essential to me as I wanted to live up to an important value for me namely transparency. When the colleague from the premises department called somewhat perplex how he should name this room on the sign outside in the corridor, I simply said “meditation room”. The next challenge was the drafting of the first e-mail to all 1300 colleagues. I was practicing myself for a while mindfulness, following the very well thought through model of Jon Kabat-Zinn, a medical doctor from the University of Massachusetts (http://www.umassmed.edu/cfm/). I decided to follow his approach and also explained that meditation was not for the fainthearted. The e-mail was short, not very sexy and rather low profile. Once I had clicked on the send button I just left my desk animated by a high level of insecurity. When I came back 45 min later I could simply not believe my eyes, e-mails declaring interest for this initiative were raining on my computer screen (20% of the colleagues asked to be kept informed). Amazed by this demonstration of attention for such activities we started to consider ways of managing this interest, knowing that our precious meditation room is only 23 m2 big…Ten months later we are running our third program, offering six classes a week with an attendance rate of 30-40 persons a week across the six classes. Participants are mainly beginners in the field of body mind and soul awakening but are very curious and motivated. I keep for another occasion the description of the practices in our classes, the needs we meet with this offer and the overall theme of work life balance. I would be happy to be in contact with others who may want to share in more details on this topic (mindfulness at work & spirituality in the work place). Always ready to give support and feedback to those of you who may consider a similar adventure.

What Will We Tell Them? by Carol Day
When they take us back into the arms of our maker, what will we tell them? When we have breathed our last breath in the bodies of our current identities and we return, what will we say? When they look us in the eyes with those angelic smiling faces glowing upon us and within us, will we really smile back? Will we be pleased? Will we have got it? Will they be pleased? Will anybody think anything?
As far as I can remember, it will all seem like a dream. As far as I remember all this pain will be irrelevant. As far as I remember, there is no war up there, only service and light. As far as I can remember, it will be like giving birth. You forget the pain and then you decide to do it again anyway. Or like a fairground ride, you feel more complete for having braved it.
But now I am tired of braving it, tired of doing it again and again. And I see through the veils. I am with my higher self, I know my different star groupings, I know the archetypes that sweep through me. I know the rules of this game. I know that we are meant to untie it all, not be foiled by the drama, detach ourselves and keep loving. I know that I can walk this tight-rope if I wish. I have tapped into the layers and I have gathered enough know-how and skills to keep myself alive. I know that what I am living here holds all the symbols and metaphors of the multi-dimensional reality. I know there are clues and props everywhere to support me in my learning. I know it is one big symphony of humming genius and I just have to keep on going. Keep pressing forward. Keep moving without being distracted. Keep my heart wide-open and keep strolling merrily on.
But, as Vladimir says, ‘I can’t go on.’
There is something profoundly missing. It is joy. It’s not fun right now. It’s getting more and more like the more aware I get, the less I am here. And I can’t remember this being the agreement. I search my library of past-lives to recall. I guess I do remember. In Egypt and Lemuria. There was a sense of being so utterly connected to something else. The disaster areas were when the connections got broken off. When the controlling took over and the systems collapsed. It’s taken all this time to correct it all again. All this time and diligence to work towards realignment. I have been so focused, and meanwhile the stage show of life continues. But in the backdrop my higher self is ticking away. And you know what, it’s not just in this life. It’s in all the rest too.
Every step that I take in this life now has a profound effect upon the rest. Every movement I make towards peace and alliance and bringing the truth to the surface, corrects the past and the present. It’s like steering a ship with the most excruciating storms, and a crew that drifts in and out, losing awareness and concentration on the true task. It’s like thinking in a dense cell with no lights. It is hard work, man. And there’s no encouragement on this level. No encouragement when you’re in it. The moments of distraction and inspiration and acts of love and friendship are beautiful. But when you are on your own, in the night, or in the street and truly connecting, adhoc, never when you plan, with all the characters in your karmic history shouting through the airwaves for your attention, leading you like a magnetised zombie to the unknown port of a strangled intuition, to make that connection, say that word, write that line, acknowledge that truth and weld it into the script. Man, it’s hard. It’s a responsibility which weighs far heavier than anything imaginable. It’s the true and only bloody reason for you being here.
I am fed up of it. J’en ai marre. I am so worn down by it. It is just rubbish to be so in it. To ask for truth all my life and end up with this. It’s heavy. It’s too much.
I suppose the truth is, that when it’s kept quiet, when it’s unconscious, when it’s kept under a hat and not broadcast, aired or valued, that’s when it becomes too much. That’s when the joy is squashed out of it. The only way out is to be perfectly loud about this. To create with this. To be so outspoken and inconsolable about it, that I have to make it energise me rather than de-energise me. My ancestors applaud. Get it out.
These players in different times and places. Do you know them too? The characters of your multi-dimensional self, splintered through time, posted by karma, can you describe them, can you hear what they are saying? Can we write with them and through them? Can we hear what they are trying to say?
I ask my soul for guidance. There is a single voice to guide this project. There are many players. The title is The Restoration Project. We can start right now. It is ready.
It is a book but it is a reality too.

Bardo: Scorpio holds much of the awareness of the gap between life, death and rebirth. This intermediate zone is what in Tibetan is called bardo, which literally means “that which lies between”, or “gap”. The bardo, which in Sanskrit is called antarabhava, is not only the interval after death. It encompasses all kinds of suspension in life, such as moments of frustration, uncertainty, crisis, and also dreams, fantasies, etc. The Bardo Thodol (literally: "liberation through hearing in the intermediate state”), mainly known as The Tibetan Book of the Dead, differentiates the intermediate states between lives into three bardos: the chikhai bardo or "bardo of the moment of death", the chonyid bardo or "bardo of the experiencing of reality" and the sidpa bardo or "bardo of rebirth", which correspond astroshamanically to the three Levels.[ii] The chikhai bardo involves the experience of the "clear light of reality", which is the nearest possible approximation to the Core Multidimensional Identity (CMI). The chonyid bardo features visions of various high spirit forms, while the sidpa bardo includes karmically incited hallucinations which may eventually result in rebirth. The Bardo Thodol also refers to three other bardos: the kye ne bardo or “bardo of life” or ordinary awareness, the milam bardo, or “bardo of dream” (all mental activities during sleep), and the samtem bardo, or “bardo of meditation” (all types of meditative or expanded consciousness conditions). All bardos provide most powerful opportunities for liberation and enlightenment. Bardos are available permanently throughout both life and death. They are transitional state between HAC and CMI. The bona fide aim of astroshamanic work is to provide training for effectively navigating in the bardo labyrinth.
The general way for ordinary human beings to access the bardo and CMI is through unconsciousness, which is what happens regularly as part of their daily routine. This is because the connection with CMI is essential for the survival of any other possible identity and reality, no matter how bogus it is. Hence, all individuals, in order to function, necessitate a recurrent rapport with the CMI, just as they need to eat, drink, breath and sleep. Yet, while eating, drinking, breathing and sleeping are usually conscious or accepted activities, devoid of any opposition or denial from HAC, this is not the case for the rapport with CMI. Since HAC is based on the conscious denial of CMI, it follows that human beings, although they constantly experience it, do not have any clue about what CMI is simply because this experience is unconscious.
Human separated reality is a huge complex organisation with a copious amount of departments and specialisations. In this context, although strategically undisclosed, a most cryptic area deals with all affairs related with the bardo. This domain is herewith tactically and epically defined as the Provisional Order. The function of the Provisional Order is to serve both the interests of CMI and HAC. As such, the Provisional Order is a most controversial and classified system. It is indeed the domain of shamans.
The whole human paradigm strategically sustains the perception of a separate reality, purging away the awareness of other realities. It is like a multi-sensory virtual theatre piece. The enactment of this play is the result of the interaction of many factors. These factors allow the play to be visible on stage, though they are mainly excluded from the main focus of attention, which is merely the stage. Shamans have access to all stages of theatre production. They are aware of what exists behind the stage curtains. At the same time they know that their role is quite exceptional.
Shamans perceive the links with other realities, while this does not apply to most of the other characters they meet on the path. Moreover, they play at least three parts at the same time, i.e. the role in the separated reality, or HAC, in the multi-dimensional realm, or CMI, and in the bardo, or Provisional Order. This may generate confusion and misunderstanding in their rapport with ordinary human beings. The Provisional Order operates in conjunction with the consensus reality (HAC) that governs human perception, which is strategically based on the denial of the multi-dimensional reality and whatever comes before or after physical life. In this respect it appears as the most cherished ally of conventional reality as well as the greatest threat. The Provisional Order holds the memory between birth, death and rebirth.

Binaries:

8.8: This is the combination of the New Moon in Scorpio. It is a pattern that obviously amplifies all major Scorpio features, generating most passionate, determined, secretive, powerful and magnetic folks.
8.9: This is a blend of Fixed Water and Mutable Fire. The pattern Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Sagittarius fuses Scorpio’s intensity, depth, magnetism and passion with Sagittarius’s adventure, expansion, freedom and thirst for truth. Those who resonate with this combination are most determined beings, abundant with integrity and zeal for truth, able to endure major enterprises in order to reach their target, which is usually of an idealistic or spiritual nature. Their nature thrives with potential enthusiasm for all aspects of life, especially those involving mystery and controversies. Loyal, stern, ardent and forthright about their beliefs, they can go to extreme lengths to hit their ultimate target.
8.10: It is a blend of Fixed Water and Cardinal Earth. The pattern Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Capricorn integrates Scorpio’s intensity, depth, magnetism and passion with Capricorn’s ambition, discipline, practicability and determination. Those who resonate with this combination are most purposeful and committed beings, hard-working and passionate, able to direct abundant energies for the defiant manifestation of enduring intentions. Loyal to their cause, tough, tenacious, stern, they figure out as natural leaders and may pursue any intent they set themselves with ruthless resolution.
8.11: This is a blend of Fixed Water and Fixed Air. The pattern Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Aquarius integrates Scorpio’s intensity, depth, magnetism and passion with Aquarius’s originality, rebelliousness and collective consciousness. Those who resonate with this combination are major enigmas in the Human Arbitrary Configuration, able to cover the widest spans of frequencies, penetrating the darkest scenarios as well as ascending proscribed peaks. While being involved in daily activities, they appear to abide in other realms, covertly hinting the connection with arcane sources and emanating a depth that very few can comprehend. Light and darkness, death and life merge in this binary, allowing them to dispense unpredictable gifts and bewildering shifts within rigid structures. Here the most dramatic tragedies may become major hilarious comedies or vice versa, cultivating the capacity of embracing the paradox and tapping into the matrix of the Game. Italian actor and director Roberto Benigni (8.11.10) and most of his movies provide a classic example of this pattern. With 8.11 the Moon enters the First Quarter phase, when the Moon square the Sun. This is traditionally a time to focus on making the necessary changes and adjustments so that the Intent activate with the New Moon can be implemented. It is a crucial moment, for what is set in motion now will develop through the rest of the lunar cycle.
8.12: It is a blend of Fixed Water and Mutable Water. The pattern Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Pisces integrates Scorpio’s intensity, depth, magnetism and passion with Pisces’s deep intuitions, imagination, compassion, healing and inspiration. Those who resonate with this combination are most inspiring and imaginative beings, ready to surrender themselves to the waves of passion and achieving major multi-dimensional accomplishments with unbending determination. Their creativity reaches amazing peaks and depth, benefiting from dramatic overtones and romantic fantasies. Intensely emotional and compassionate, they are champions of empathy and dedicated healing, endowed with a profound understanding of human nature and ready to venture to the bottom of situations that trigger their spiritual motivation. All binaries terminating with 12 entail the attainment of a provisional state of unity, a blessing before returning to the binaries based on 1. 8.12 and 8.1 constitute the Scorpio multi-dimensional gateway. They include the border zone, the gap between the bona fide horny bit (the direct link with CMI) and the consciousness diverting mechanism (the rerouting device aimed at shifting perception from multi-dimensional awareness to HAC).
8.1: This is a blend of Fixed Water and Cardinal Fire. The pattern Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Aries blends Scorpio’s intensity, depth, magnetism and passion with Aries’s courage, assertiveness and pioneering spirit. Those who resonate with this combination are extremely focused being, ready to do whatever in order to achieve specific tasks, often rather impulsive, yet adamant in their endeavour and forcefulness. When their passion and sense of mission is at work, they lay aside everything else, without being distracted and showing no concern for those who are not aligned with their assignment. Admired for their courage and their totality, 8.1 beings are natural shamanic warriors, rash and enduring in their healing enterprises, the kind of folks to rely upon in moments of sheer emergency. 8.1 incorporates the warrior shamanic spirit of the female mysteries, the Amazon and Women Who Run With Wolves type, yet astroshamanically applied to both genders.
All combinations involving the Moon in Aries are crucial in the astroshamanic healing recycling process of grievances. All the network of relationships elaborated during the zodiac cycle reaches its climax in the gap zone between Pisces and Aries, the moment when from 12 I go back to square 1. This gap is exemplified by the “bardo of death”, which is indeed the climax of life. The goal of any relationship is reaching this climax, which is the most potent of all for at that stage the Human Arbitrary Configuration (HAC) is swept away and dies. Hence for HAC (Human Arbitrary Configuration) the climax is tantamount to death, because it marks the end of the relationship, the shift from 3D (3rd dimension) to 4D (4th dimension). This is an unacceptable development for HAC since HAC is based on the denial of 4D. Hence the aim of a sacred relationship is to encourage a conscious climax and offer as much support as possible to ensure a powerful voyage through the bardo of death. It follows that the most important moment in a relationship is not the honeymoon, the first meeting, the “falling in love” stage or any evidence of 3D unity. The crucial and decisive stage occurs when there is a 3D separation, i.e. when the relationship comes to a 3D end because a partner leaves, dies, etc. Here the relationship is tested in its original integrity, whether it is aimed at supporting the bardo or not. Unfortunately in ordinary relationships 3D separation from a partner is regarded as the most disgraceful event and a failure in the relationship itself. And due to this state of affair human relationships are the major productive fields for grievances and collective wounds. All 3D relationships are bound to end with a 3D separation. If this inevitable outcome is denied and does not receive conscious attention, this will generate grievances. Hence sacred relationships, as I see them, are based upon the acceptance of the bardo and aimed at healing the gap between 3D and 4D.

The Epic of the Sacred Cone References:
Please click here for reports on other binaries and nations of the Handorian States.

Epic State References: The sign of Scorpio and Sector 8 are epically related with the State of Friaan, the 8th State of the Handorian State System.[iii] This is the largest state of the System, an immense articulation of terrains resonating the loving fury of the Handorians. According to the astroshamanic system of the 144 binary rapports, or Paheka Rubhe[iv] the following are the nations associated with the binaries of this PAN.
8.8 is associated with Friaan, one of the 12 nations of the State of Friaan. This nation - together with Turian (8.2), Hurzang (8.2) and portions of Kobar (8.1) and Triman (8.3) – is part of the original territory of the State of Friaan, which later developed as the largest State of the Handorian State System. The capital (Frian) is also the largest capital district.
8.9 is associated with Nedhan, one of the 12 nations of the State of Friaan. This nation, being a realm of shamanic voyagers and navigators, plays a special role in the Provisional Order.
8.10 is associated with Skota, one of the 12 nations of the State of Friaan. Skota is quite a mysterious and remote dark land even to Friaan standards. Its name has evident affinities with Scotland, a word deriving from the Latin for an Irish tribal name (Scotti) whose origins are rather uncertain. Scotia (Σκωτία) is a Greek word signifying “darkness”, which appears to be a possible etymology.
8.11 is associated with Varhan, one of the 12 nations of the State of Friaan. This nation is the largest nation of the Handorian State System, after the nation of Friaan (8.8). The nations of the State of Friaan are huge compared to those of other states. Considering that most of the Frianian territory has consistent developments also below its surface, this makes the State of Friaan like quite a totally different realm. Indeed there was a time in which Friaan and Handor were two entirely separate entities, one (Friaan) incorporating the Moon’s power and the other (Handor) resonating with the Sun’s. Varhan is a recent assimilation in the State of Friaan. It stands out as a most unfathomable zone, with intense and erratic shifts of brightness and obscurity. It used to operate as one of the four Directional Reservoirs, aimed at storing darkness for Game-related purposes. Since the incorporation of the reservoirs into the Handorian State System, Varhan has gone through novel developments, yet it still holds a most prominent role in the Handorian sexual energy supply and distribution system.
8.12 is associated with Helgol, one of the 12 nations of the State of Friaan. Helgol is a remote mythic island, which was basically uncharted and out of bound in the Low and Middle Handorian Age. It was incorporated in the State of Friaan only in the third epoch of the High Handorian Age.
8.1 is associated with Kobar, one of the 12 nations of the State of Friaan. Kobar is a nation of outstanding warriors, strenuous and implacable historical defenders of the northern Handorian borders. The most celebrated feature in Kobar is a huge sacred pine tree, called the Great Tree of Kobar. Kobar also hosts the original headquarters of the Kobarian Forces, whose function is to protect the Sacred Cone Circle.

[iii] The Handorian State System is a mythical matrix reality aimed at integrating 3rd-dimensional perception with multidimensional states of consciousness. Its functions sustain both the undoing of separation and its preservation. These functions, although apparently contradictory when expressed through conventional languages, constitute the foundations of the ecstatic multidimensional realms existing beyond human limited perception. The Handorian State System consists of 12 States, each composed of 12 Nations, and one Central State, called Handor. The strategic counterpart of Handor is Rodnah.

[iv] According to the Epic of the Sacred Cone, the current ordinary human DNA is limited to 2 sectors due to the block caused by the Paheka Rubhe. Such term, which can be translated as the Binary Net of Totem Spirits, indicates the 144 combinations of the 12 Paheka or Totem Spirits’ double polarities that prevent the expansion of human perception. Undoing these combinations and re-establishing the 12-sector system is one of the strategic tasks of astroshamanic work.
