This practice of incubation in silence seems to be like the meditation tank experience John Lily pioneered, but seems only he rediscovered it.
I have been describing the cult of Apollo and that it was based on healing and prophecy; two features attributed to the god Apollo. A list of his sons only attests to this. In “The White Goddess” Apollo is noted to have been a king of a mouse race and he cheated his way to becoming Apollo and the God of healing.
Asclepius is a prime example of one of Apollo’s sons. Some myths say he was a man that became a god, but he was noted for being a ‘son of Apollo’ and was associated, like his ‘father’, iconographically with the serpent. The hissing of a serpent is what is important to note – it is the hissing sound of silence and stillness (hesychia) that is obtained through the focus on the sound of silence that opens the door to another state. Asklepios had a cult of healing evolve around him and his teachings, which would be found typically in a sanctuary or Asklepion whereby the participants would come to lie down and incubate with the god and the divine in order to learn (prophecy) what to do to alleviate their situations.
When I began to drink Ayausaca I was initiated into this group miraculously with no previous knowledge of the ancients or Magick or hermetcs, nothing. I was illiterate and I was met in the underworld by the Caduceus. This is part of my own true will as a healer. A healer of the soul. Incubation was about initiation encoded into alchemical and hermetic texts. When I first descended into the underworld it was into their plane of consciousness. They met me and helped heal me. I remember quick intense conversations with blue beings. I had my first conscious shared psychic visions there with them and my wife.
I’ll never forget this giant blue pulsating Caduceus at the foot of the mountain. I suppose the Goddess blessed or cursed me with that vision. I feel very connected to Parmenides. I figured everything out from that one image in my unconscious. Quite amazing to me as I look back thankfully. Personally, my transformation had net positive effects across the board. I lost my family and friends, but I gained my self, that could be seen as a positive
Bahahaha
What does all this mean in the grand scheme I can’t say. But I know I found where I come from and they brought me back to life whatever they or I really am came to me right as I was about to fail at my life, but I was spared for another day.
I know I prepare for a day when I shall walk into the Sun.
That is my destiny.
