The Secret Science of Angels, Crystals, Colors, and Metals with Dr. Robert Gilbert #471

Archangel Michael

Dr. Robert Gilbert explains that Archangel Michael is a cosmic intelligence who understands how fragmented pieces fit together. Michael is often depicted in various traditions, not just the Western monotheistic ones, and is considered the archangel of the sun 1. This connection to the sun symbolizes Michael's role as a source of light and life, much like the sun itself 2.

Archangel Michael is a being that has the ability to understand how all the fragmented pieces fit together.

Michael's imagery varies across cultures, reflecting different symbolic representations of this non-physical being.

   

Spiritual Hierarchies

The concept of spiritual hierarchies involves different ranks of beings, each more evolved than the last. Dr. Gilbert describes how angels, archangels, and other higher beings interact with both the physical and higher worlds 3. These beings are often associated with celestial bodies, such as planets and stars, which have their own consciousness and spiritual significance 4.

In classical initiation, there would be exercises to develop direct perception and communication with these higher intelligences.

--- Dr. Robert Gilbert

This understanding helps bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern spiritual practices.

   

Solar Initiation

Solar initiation is a process that connects human beings to higher spiritual realities through the forces of the sun and moon. Dr. Gilbert explains that this concept has roots in ancient traditions, including the Rosicrucian and early Christian teachings 5. The Christ being, or Christos, is seen as an emanation of the sun's spiritual energy, facilitating a form of solar yoga or initiation 6.

The solar logos, the Christos, was moving into the sheaths as a type of solar yoga, a type of solar initiation.

--- Dr. Robert Gilbert

This initiation aims to activate higher consciousness and spiritual evolution in individuals.
