On Tartar Sauce and Typhoons

"All good things sensible me must ask from the gods" begins Plutarch's Isis and Osiris, "for we believe that there is nothing more important for man to recieve, or more enobling of That Which Is to grant, than the truth." Indeed, in a world designed around deliberate deception, we must always seek to arrive at the truth lest we fall into superstitions and atheistic amorphisms. "For the deity is not blessed by reason of his possession of gold and silver, nor strong because of thunder and lightning, but through knowledge and intelligence."

Homer alluded to this thought thought most beautifully when he said:

"Both, indeed, were lineage one, and of the same country. Yet was Zeus the earlier borne and his knowledge was greater." Thus, as Plutarch describes, Zeus is nobler since it is "elder in knowledge and wisdom." Yet elder to what manifestation is this allusion referred to? I dare say that if one see's the word INRI, one would realise that the summation of the values of the Letters reveal that

I = 9 = 45
N = 14 = 105
R = 18 = 171
I = 9 = 45

45+105+171+45 = 366

ZEUS, too, has a value of 366, yet how this is so is sealed within the Isisian Mysteries. That INRI and ZEUS become as competitors in an eternal struggle one realises as one seeks to discern from truth and deceptions. Plutarch adds, "Therefore, the effort to arrive at the Truth, and especially the truth about the gods, is a longing for the divine."

Yet how does one arrive at the truth when the design is that of chaos and delusion, from which is hinted by the word DELUGE? One need not read far to understand this most difficult of tasks for one finds soon in Plutarch's Isis and Osiris, "For Isis is a Greek word, and so too is Typhon, her enemy, who is conceited, as his name implies, because of his ignorance and self-deception. He tears to pieces and scatters to the winds the sacred writings, which the Goddess collects and puts together and gives into the keeping of those that are initiated..."

So within the studies of the various "Secret Societies", or "Schools of Initiations" one may expect, if one is patient and of sound mind and ear and eye, to view the feint adumbrations of the truth, which, when viewed as a composite whole, should reveal to the Seeker of Wisdom of Old what is euphemistically called "The Truth" for which as is stated in Isis and Osiris, "...the end and aim of which is the knowledge of Him who is the First, the Lord of All, the Ideal One. Him does the Goddess urge us to seek, since he is near her and in close communion."

Thus we turn to the US Dollar bill. In the upper right corner, in the left crest, can be found a small hidden Owl, overlooking the "1". The Owl is She who is "in close communion with the "ideal one", yet this too hides a seeming great mystery, for why the OWL? It is simple:

Imagine a Circle, O with a Diameter. The beginning of the Diameter is as O, the Center of the Circle is as 1, and the end of the Diameter is 2. O - 1 - 2, or Zero, One, Two. The TWO is the OWL, and if one spins the L 180 degrees on it's center, it becomes the T, and thus the OWL is "wise" as is "the Goddess". The coloring of the world and the framing of the created world begins to show color. An adumbration.

Yet within these mysteries reveal a series of "onion rings" yet to be peeled away, for within the monetary system of the United States is a hidden mystery. For is the 1 is the Center, is not the Center and the "cent" as in the "Penney", wherein the Pen is said to be "Osiris" while the "paper" is Isis? The Penney is a "Cent" and thus a "Cent" is akin to the "center", yet there are 100 "cents" to every "dollar", and yet is not a "doll" and a "female" equally linked in allegory? And if there are 100 "Cents" to every "dollar", and a "doll", or a "dollar" is akin to 100, which is akin again to the Letter C, and the C is akin to the covering of the Moon by the shadow of the Earth at the time of an eclipse (Occultation), then within the monetary system of the United States is encoded a series of Isisian Occultic principles.

How this is so becomes a revealing of "The Truth", and it's absolute understanding sets the Seeker into a Sea of Wisdom from which the chaos of this world becomes more ordered, and thus manipulateable. Plutarch too says of this, "The name of Her shrine also clearly promises knowledge and comprehension of reality; for it is named Iseion, to indicate that we shall comprehend reality if in a reasonable and devout frame of mind we pass within the portals of Her shrines."

Of Tartar Sauce and Typhoons. Reality reveals itself through the very "Letters" which is caste before the aspirant. Of Tartar Sauce and Typhoons, for the Owl is the Two is wisdom, and the relationship of L to T, and the fact that these "letters" are the root letters of the word LTR's, or LETTERS, reveals subtle reflections of the "Truth" which, if sought for in sincerity, in time reveals itself.

"For this reason they call the First of the Muses at Hermopolis Isis as well as Justice: for she is wise, as I have said, and discloses the divine mysteries to those who truly and justly have the name of "bearers of the sacred vessels" and "wearers of the sacred robes. These are they that who within their own soul, as though within a casket, bear the sacred writings about the gods clear of all superstition and pedantry; and cloak them in with secrecy, thus giving intimations, some dark and shadowy, some clear and bright, of their concepts about the gods, intimations of the same sort as are clearly evidenced in the wearing of the sacred garb."

Of Tartar Sauce and Typhoons, one force of light, the other of dark. What is one's garb is another's "garbage". It is really all rather simple once one is able to rise above the deliberate confusion of all things: the Letters are "the gods", the Alphabet is "the God", yet if we see that "The God" is the "ideal one", yet this is linked to the Owl, or the Two, and the One is the Center, then the "one" becomes likened as unto a "Spoke".

And herein is another simple adumbration. The Sign of Isis is that of Air and also that of the Sword of the Tarot. The Sword, then, being the TWO or the OWL which is in "close proximity to the One" is set against a mathematical reality that a "spoke" will reveal the "one" or the Diameter. Thus the "sacred vessels", or the Letters, reveal the Truth, for the SWORD, linked to the Owl and Isis must too be linked to the "spoken word" traditions, and from (S)poken (WORD) do we derive SWORD.

If the SPOKE is the 1, then what is the WORD save for the Circumference, or that of Pi.

The "WORD" then, is "PI", for here is where the 1 and the O are in in communion with each other. The "Truth" is contained in the OWL, and the relationship of L to T, for the OWL is the TWO, and how this is so reveals an apperception of the conceptual. "It is fact", states Plutarch, "that having a beard and wearing a cloak does not make philosophers, nor does dressing in linen and shaving the hair make a votary of Isis;; but the true votary of Isis is he who, when he has legitimately received what is set forth in the ceremonies connected with these gods, uses reason in investigating and in studying the truth contained therein."

These "gods" are these Letters.

That ISIS is 9+19+9+19 = 56 and this value is akin to SPEECH at 19+16+5+5+3+8 = 56 is not of chance; one man's "esoteric significance" cannot be arbitrarily dismissed because the Letter form changes, nor indeed can it be assumed to be esoterically significant because the Letter form changes, but in this one can be assured:

ISIS = 9+19+9+19 = 56 = 19+16+5+5+3+8 = SPEECH
OSIRIS = 15+19+9+18+9+19 = 89 = 18+5+12+9+7+9+15+14 = RELIGION

That ONE of these sacred words equalled the value as shown perhaps could be a coincidence. That BOTH Isis and Osiris have values which equate to the marriage of SPEECH to RELIGION cannot be so easily dismissed as to how this is so.

Of Tartar Sauce and Typhoons. A study of the Speech Religion of the Gods, or what we refer to as the Isisian Mysteries, reveals a world of form which when taken as a whole can only lead one to the inescapable truth, that of a Universe set against a binary coding.

"It is true that most people are unaware of this very ordinary and minor matter: the reason why the priests remove hair and wear linen garments. Some persons do not care at all to have any knowledge about such things, while others say the priests, because they revere the sheep, abstain from using its wool, as well as its flesh; and that they shave their heads as a sign of mourning.." begins Chapter 4 of Isis and Osiris. Plutarch elaborates, "But for all this there is only one true reason, which is to be found in the words of Plato:'for the impure to touch the Pure is contrary to divine ordinance."

What is being spoken of here is the relationship of that which "lives" and that which is a product of "decay" or which is a product of "death". For hair and nails and furis derived from "forms of surplus" which "grows" not from of its own accord, but rather as a process of what can be termed as "decay". Thus "hair" and "nails" and "fur" grow as a product of the death at the source of life, and as such, can be deemed an outward manifestation of death relative to a life which exists internal and is unseen. Thus the unseen "life" is "celebrated" while the outward manifestation, or the hair and nails and fur is seen as an expression of death unfolding.

In this manner we can surmise that the sects that involve themselves in the shaving of hair from their bodies, as in the Eastern Monastic traditions, preserve a concept contained in the Isisian Mysteries. Further, we can view a series of corruptions as they become manifest: "So it would be ridiculous that these persons in their holy living should remove their hair by shaving and making their bodies smooth all over, and then should put on and wear the hair of domestic animals."

As we view the use of "sheepskin aprons" in the Initiated Orders of Masonry, we can surmise that the use of this element would be seen as an affront to more "precise" sects contained within the vast network of Mystery Schools. Indeed, we wonder how such a sect could have invoked such an element in such clear violation of a simple Isisian Maxim, save for reasons which can be discussed at a later period and in due course.

For in the keeping of rituals and ceremonies regarding the gods, it is advised that "surplus matter" be avoided, and the use of "flax" be used as the garment of choice. Not only does flax yield edible seeds, but it, as Plutarch adds, "is suitable for every season and, as they say, is least apt to breed lice." Plutarch continues equally, "..but this topic is treated elsewhere."

This sequence reveals a subtle known and little spoken "secret" of the ways of the orders. "Know thee the madness by the forms which it takes" for by altaring the rites does truth become a victim. More pragmatically, with the decay of the Isisian and Osirian Mystery schools, and indeed it's eventual co-opting, by this period, around 351CE, it was a known fact that the schools were already terribly infiltrated by forces aligned with Typhon who had risen to power with the murder of Osiris. Thus the wise should understand a direct link between "accepted authority" meaning that which is controlled via a process of Initiations, and the direct bearing on the concept of "surplus" to "sheepskin" to "that which breeds lice".

In the profane world, the relationship of various "state sanctioned enterprises" which require "testing" and other forms of "bars" through which one must show one to be above, appears as a form of "initiatory craft" known as "Licensing". The idea of "lice" and its allegorical meanings of being of a "parasitic nature" and that of "licensing" is a subtle hint at the way in which the world became crafted after the fall of the Osirian and Isisian Mystery Schools and the subsequent corruptions which would become so great that by the time of 1800's, the vast knowledge which had survived to appear as the founding of the United States had been ultimately destroyed, and as we say, Isisian Paganism had "sank below the waves of Kabballist Masonry".

What is clear is that "the Mysteries", rooted in concepts which spanned the globe, was smashed nearly absolutely. This knowledge can be further ascertained by the way in which certain allegorical concepts were encoded. It all leads to Typhoons and Tartar sauce.

"The priests feel such a repugnance for things that are of a superfluous nature that they not only eschew most legumes, as well as mutton and pork, but they also use no salt with their food during holy living." In this is held an alchemical secret which few in the West have ever been apprised and for which I shall reveal here.

Salt is the essence of Life as taught by Taoist Masters trained in the Arts of Metanumerics. As explained, it is simple: take a pan and fill it with water. Is water the key to life? The experiment works as follows: now boil away the water and ask again, "Is water the essence of life?" To test this question, dampen your finger and touch the base of the pan and taste then your finger. What do you find?

Salt.

Salt is the essence of Life for Salt is that which controls the PH balance which then defends against any series of micro-organisms. A recent case in Utah highlighted this fact. A young child who was thirsty was forced then to drink large amounts of water as punishment by her parents. Tragically, the excess water caused the young girl to die. The cause of death? The excess water caused the ph level in her blood to no longer sustain her life.

Salt is the essence of life.

So if "salt" is the "essence of life", one may ask, why then is Salt eschewed by the Isisian Priests as referenced here? Simple: because by this stage of the decline of the Mysteries, the priests no longer had access to "pure salt". This implies that the salt which we partake of is of an impure nature, derived from the surplus's but itself is impure. The alchemists of Plutarch's day hinted around this concept: "To consider salt impure, because, as Aristagoras has said, when it is crystallizing many minute creatures are caught in it and die there, is certainly silly."

Aristagoras was putting forward a sound maxim: salt is impure. If one disagreed as to "why it is impure" only argued with the hypothesis, not the over-riding truth, which was the fact that salt was impure. This key point needs to be fully remembered as one solves the riddle of Typhoons and Tartar Sauce, for if one has yet to see that Typhoons derive from the Sea and that Tartar sauce too is used on fish from the sea, then one misses the alchemical lesson which salt has to that of the philosopher, for within the philosopher is an adumbration of the word Sulpher, or the key element which has been removed from Salt as a process of this decay.

Within the "tales" surrounding the "god" is indeed a huge alchemical riddle linked to political and religious intriques. This is the domain of the Isisian Mysteries.
