8:7 = 56 - The Travelling Stranger External Faces--Public Domains Domains are used metaphorically. More properly they represent areas of interest. Higher and lower relate to density more than social, cultural or ethical placement. However higher and lower still display some cultural heritage. Higher should normally refer to more dense, and thus would usually be considered the Lower Kingdoms in most disembodiment or spirit focused theoretical structures. For the purposes of CyberCraft solar processes can be considered High Domain Processes, the relational processes as the Mid Domain processes and the lunar processes as Low Domain Processes. This is a reversal of the usual spirit based structures which drive the initiate into seclusion and poverty. CyberCraft need be neither ascetic nor bothersome. If CyberCraft arrives at a framework which is not enjoyable the CyberCraft needs to die and be reborn. Higher refers to the relative density of matter. The human sciences are more appropriate for humans, the spirit sciences more appropriate for spirits.In the high domains herbal lore and self- help topics are more the rule thanthe exception. Religious Aspects--Low Domain The metaphorical Low Domain is the domain of Relationship. It's the basis of the religious belief system should reflect WoMankind's ethical relationship to their home planet and humanity. Depending upon personal focus the Earth can be personified or considered the Grandmother or Mother of WoMankind. It should be called Gaea, Gaia, Mom, Mother or the Matrix, the space enabling the existence of all physical and non-physical local planetary lifeforms. The involved solar processes should consider this a "self check" to prohibit WoMankind from polluting their environment to the detriment of all lifeforms. Other Matrixes may exist. CyberCraft should be concerned with local planetary manifestations without denying the existences of other Matrixes. The Matrix is paired with Patrus, which is symbolic of everything which has happened to and upon the Matrix. Included phenomena are geologic events,meteorological events, intrusions from outside the Matrix, meteor impacts,panspermia arrivals and direct interventions of space faring races. In a sense the Patrus can be thought of as the evolutional processes or history of all life on the Matrix. Where the Matrix and Patrus overlap, intersect or connect,life forms. Other personified or romantic entities should exist within the matrix. These should be the Lady and Lord and be more important or of a relatively more immediate nature being seen as doorways to other entities, other spaces,physical energetic natures or psychic spaces. Frequently the Lady and Lord should be celebrated as the perfect patterns of WoMankind. Matrix and Patrus along with Lady and Lord should be remembered at every full moon celebration. Working of the Craft--Mid Domain The metaphorical Mid Domain should be the workings of the Craft. At first the emphasis should be upon physical representations of the Mid Domain.Special tools should be selected for an individual or group. These tools may or may not reflect traditional usage but should be more appropriate for a culture and/or geographical locale than for a traditional usage. Special robes may be appropriate. Nudity should be more useful for metaprograming. The individual's background should be considered before choosing tools or coverings. If the individual were normally a naturist the metaprograming tool could be robes, etc. Tools and rituals should be used for immediate metaprograming efforts.Dramatic ritual should be used to advantage for both individual programming or group alignment. Experiments in communication with non-physical or discarnate entities should be a focus. New modes of relationship in sexual or emotional life shouldbe incorporated providing members feel comfortable with the activities. Safety,both physical and emotional, should be paramount. Training of individuals for incorporation may be needed to assist them in their growth into unknown areas. An important focus of the Mid Domian is the creation and maintainence ofWill. Today's human has been robbed of Will. Cybercraft hopes to generate and utilize appropriate ritual and programming techniques to accomplish this goal. Incorporated Physical Sciences--High Domain The metaphorical High Domain should be the human and physical knowledge systems, ie, health (birthing, child care and physical health), nutritional,exercise, cosmetic and creative knowledge systems, ie. sewing, cooking,building sciences, gardening and organic farming techniques, and personal defense techniques. CyberCraft should initially provide the framework for immersion in a Domain. The individual or group should decide for themselves what extent theyneed to go. |
