"It is the world soul and the force of history that now calls for, and causes, the Djed to be raised. Like the flag with its emblem raised aloft in the thick of battle to rally the flagging energies of the army, the Djed is a beacon raised in the battle for the soul of the planet.  And, like the warrior heroes who have throughout history stood tall as champions of the many during times of great danger and crisis, the Djedi come forth that the Djed may be raised."


MOIRA TIMMS

S’aha djed, uadjat, seshp b’me ankh-akh, ta nun er nuit, kheprer sba s-tehen thamit er uben mir atchaas, uadjat.”

HAPPY EGYPTIAN NU YEAR on 23 July.  This date marks what is known as the 'heliacal rising of Sirius', Sirius being the second brightest star visible in our heavens and 'heliacal' relates to our brightest star, the sun.  On the 23rd of July, Sirius once again becomes visible after having been in conjunction with the sun for 70 days.  This date was of great importance to the ancient Egyptians, who celebrated their 'new year' then, which symbolized the re-birth of Isis, represented by Sirius.

Last year at this time Liesbet and I were visiting our friend Arne Erickson on Flinders Island, Tasmania, having just arrived for a visit of what would eventually be four months long.  In anticipation of the Egyptian New Year coming up, I decided to build a hill-billy version of a Djed pillar that we could erect in the center of a large medicine wheel we had begun, in honour of our very first medicine wheel built at Arne's there in 2009.

See the excerpts from Moira Timms below on the significance and symbology of the Djed pillar.  The 'raising of the Djed' symbolizes, literally, the 'return of the Djedi.'

My mind reels in awe when I think back on our four months at Arne's last year, how hard we worked and how much we got done in terms of making a massive effort to grow all our own food, to live totally off the grid, to maximize our creative output and take every dimension of our relationships with each other and with the worlds of spirit and infinite creativity to the next level many times over.  Our ten gardens and extensive 'Mother Earth Temple' are still there now, a testament to our hard work and love of life.

Since we left, however, Arne has succumbed to acute 'gold fever' and has essentially abandoned his place to the forces of nature, which is ultimately not a bad thing, except for all the hard work and cleaning up that needs to be done before Mother Earth can successfully and healthily reclaim what is truly hers there.  Liesbet and I hope to return there sometime in the next couple months and pick back up on our various projects, including helping Arne to take proper care of his beautiful property which is in dire need of some love and attention.

For the past month Liesbet has been in Belgium visiting her family and old friends for the first time since we were there in 2008.  This is a wonderful opportunity for her to re-connect with the land and culture where she grew up, and to bring her amazing talent, creativity and very special angel-energy to the northern hemisphere, who is also in very dire need of love and caring from homo sapiens. 

Liesbet's been seeing quite a few chem-trails up there;  I've only seen one in a month of being in New South Wales and Victoria, with more than half the days being clear.  No telling what goes on at night or above the clouds, however.  She is taking plenty of power-nutrients to help combat her exposure to Fukushima radiation which continues to saturate the entire planetary biosphere with thousands of synthetic radio-nuclides.  NO where is completely safe from it but the northern hemisphere in general is vastly more contaminated than the southerly latitudes, but only for the immediae future.

Right now Liesbet is camping out with her friend Anne somewhere in southern Belgium for the weekend, and I'm visiting our great friends Peter and Rosie at their new place near Yandoit, Victoria, where they're working hard to create their own perma-cultural 'garden of Eden' with cool cabins for rent and heaps of gardens and dams.  The frogs here are amazing, and some of them are the same kinds we heard at Arne's on Flinders Island.  Liesbet has heard frogs in Belgium, too, which is a very good sign that the amphibians are still doing ok up there.

Liesbet and I have both been doing massive art projects, she painting some chairs for her aunt and I did a large mural for my great friend Toshi at Happy Organics in Goonengerry NSW, which is in the Wollumbin (Mt. Warning) extinct volcanic crater near Byron Bay.

In the next few days I'll be working on another art project in the area here and visiting some friends, then heading to Adelaide to do a mural for a back-packer there.  Liesbet is returning to Sydney towards the end of August, at which point we'll catch up.  Our course is not yet charted, but eventually we'll head for the Flinders Ranges, to return to Wilpena Pound and then up to William Creek, where the Painted Hills are, a landscape of immense colour.  We may then head up to the central desert to visit Uluru for the first time together, and hopefully to Gosse's Bluff, an ancient meteor crater on the way.  After that we may head further north to Katherine and the 'top end' to get a dose of tropical warmth...Liesbet is having some northern hemisphere summer right now, but it seems like I've been in perpetual winter for over a year and a half.

I am concerned about Liesbet being so close to London with the Olympics coming up soon and this being 2012...the year that 'something is going to happen.'

Let us ALL tune into the highest frequencies of love and awakening that we can access and RAISE OUR OWN INNER 'DJED PILLARS' in honour of the Egyptian Nu Year...'nu' being the Greek letter symbolizing 'frequency.'

And may we all focus more of our energy on a sense of gratitude for all that we have...we are all very lucky to be here now on Mothership Earth. In this spirit I would like to say a big 'thank you' to ALL our friends and family, 'mitakuye oyasin, but in particular, to Arne 'Balarni' Erickson, to John & Peggy-anne Garlick, to Barry Brailsford and Cushla Denton, to Ian McAllister, to Jack & Jenny Oldridge, to Peter Cholmondeley, to Michael Spratt, to Martie Bear, Urs, Samitha & Toshi at Happy Organics, to Peter, Rosie and Marianne here at Yandoit, to Liesbet's parents Emile and Grietje, to Snoetje, Teddy, Wally, and Freddy, our wee 'creatures', and to my beautiful partner of five years, Liesbet Verstraeten...the most wonderful person I have ever had the opportunity to know...I love you!
 
And may the DJEDI return...

'RAISING THE DJED'  MOIRA TIMMS

http://renavigating-the-human-process.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/art-for-consciousness-transformation.htmlhttp://renavigating-the-human-process.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/art-for-consciousness-transformation.html

"According to the Mayan and Egyptian calendars, we are now in the “beak of time”, a “window” or a “sacred moment in time” which occurs once every 26,000 years;  at this time the winter solstice point of our sun’s position in the sky gradually aligns with the hunab ku, the galactic center in Sagitarrius.  During this window transformative consciousness streams into us via the sun and assists in our creation of and ascension to a higher-dimensional reality continuum!

            At the top is the centrel symbol of Egyptian spirituality, the Djed pillar, Osiris’s backbone and symbol of regeneration and cosmic stability and harmony.  Within the upraised Djed is the Chinese symbol “yung” meaning “eternity.”  To either side of the Djed pillar is the Eye of Horus, or Uadjat, representing divine guidance and protection.  These uadjats are painted in their androgynous manifestations.

            Counterclockwise, the next grouping of symbols means “inspiration” or literally “light-life moving within.”  The next grouping translates as “place of origin” “instantly “ or “ here and now.”

            Then beginning at 4:00 we have three glyphs;  the triangle with star and semi-circle is “Ast”, ancient name for Sirius/Isis.  Beside it is “tiet”, a bow which is another name for Isis.  Above these is “sia”, meaning “intelligence of the heart.”
            Finally, the glyph in the next region is “atchaas”, or “primeval wisdom.”
In Egyptian, the entire band of hieroglyphics would read

S’aha djed, uadjat, seshp b’me ankh-akh, ta nun er nuit, kheprer sba s-tehen thamit er uben mir atchaas, uadjat.”

            In English, this would mean “Djed be raised, divine guidance and inspiration, originating here and now, transforming star-lightning awareness into sun-rise-love, Isis, intelligence of the heart, primeval wisdom, giving guidance and protection.”

http://alignment2012.com/djed.html
The Djed was the Eqyptian symbol of human, planetary, and cosmic stability, continuity, and regeneration,. As the cosmic axis, it was the "cylinder," the column of light, that linked Earth to the pole star-the still point, or stable point of reference, around which the heavens revolved. To raise the Djed was also to erect the backbone of Osiris, the lunar, underworld, god of regeneration. The Djed represented continuity of nature's cycles, as well as ascension and resurrection of the human spirit.

Historically, the Djed was raised at crucial transitional times between cycles, evoking light and stability to dispel darkness and chaos. Such periods were the annual Winter solstices, the failing years of a reigning monarch or the coronation of a new one. However, according to the texts of the Temple of Horus at Edfu, the Djed served its greatest purpose and revealed its greatest mystery at the ending of one world age, and the beginning of another.

The Djed

The Djed is a pillar, a type of the central World Tree, representing stability, continuity, and regeneration. The Festival of The Raising of the Djed dates back more than 5,000 years to predynastic times--as does the Egyptian Book of the Dead which identifies the Djed as both the backbone of Osiris and the support and backbone of the universe. The Djed, however, is more than just an object; it is a mythic complex that existed long before Osiris emerged from the dark realm of the collective unconscious.

Historically, the Djed was raised at crucial transitional times between cycles, evoking light and stability to dispel darkness and disorder. Such periods were the Winter solstices, the failing years of a reigning monarch or the coronation of a new one. However, according to the texts of the Temple of Horus at Edfu, the Djed served its greatest purpose and revealed its greatest mystery at the ending of one world age and the beginning of another. This is such time!

The Djed is the supreme unifying symbol of all polarities, connecting us to the transcendent reality of the whole, the One. It symbolizes the macro and microcosmic "axis." As the cosmic axis the Djed is the "cylinder," the column of light linking the Earth to the pole star. It represents stability because it aligns the North pole of Earth with the still-point of the revolving "dome" of the heavens--the pole star. Beyond the pole star were/are the realms of the "gods" and higher dimensions of being. In the microcosm, within us, the human axis is the spinal column, the time-tunnel of the transformative journey from the gross materialism of homosapiens to the Self-realization of homoChristos at the crown chakra. It is through this chakra that we, too, are aligned with the energies of the pole star.2
 
At a time when the planetary grid (Earth's geometrically arranged energy system web) was understood and, it is believed, consciously administrated by a global network of high initiate engineers, the Djed was a sacred instrument in the powerful technology of "cosmos regeneration" (a domain explored by the work of Reich and Tesla.) From the geodetic and astronomic perspective, the raised Djed is the fixed reference point which makes firm the bond between Earth and sky, evoking geophysical stability at a time of increased potential for Earth changes. And, as we approach the end of the prophecy sequence and the final 20 years of the current cycle, the Djed replaces the prospect of Earth changes and geophysical "pole shift" with that of "pole stability."3

The Djed is being raised again--globally, annually, at the Winter solstice (and various other times--the 1996 Spring equinox, in particular) until the closing of the cycle in 2012AD. Because Egypt is at the center of the Earth's land mass, and the place where the Djed originated around the beginning of the present cycle (3,100BC), it is appropriate that The Raising of the Djed, be reinaugurated at its original site in Egypt. However, readers are reminded that in the holographic model every sacred site, every community gathering, is also the "Center"--as is every individual. Re-errecting the Djed today serves well its ancient purpose, for it is the archetype of stability and continuity for the current transitional phase.

BECOMING THE OSIRIS

Osiris "Djedi" was a title of Osiris, as the Great One,8 Lord of the Universe (the universal, Self-generating life principle of the Center--i.e. the transcendent Self). The "Djedi" were the "stable ones"--wisdom keepers of one mind and one spirit who, as initiates of the Osirian mysteries, comprised the living, terrestrial body of the archetypal, celestial Osiris. Contemporary Djedi are self-selecting regenerators of cosmos. They are those who, regardless of race or creed, are awakening to mission in service to the planet and the epochal imperatives of stability, continuity and regeneration. 

Egyptologist Sir Wallis Budge quotes the ancient expectation that "Since Osiris was raised to life by the words and ceremonies which Thoth taught Isis, and since Osiris has gained immortality by means of them, these same words and ceremonies will raise us to life and give us immortality also."9 The "secret Books of Thoth" containing those formulae no longer exist. But they are deeply encoded within the repository of our collective dreamtime, informing our DNA and waiting like seeds to be activated in due season by the right evolutionary imperative and guiding initiatory archetype.
It is the world soul and the force of history that now calls for, and causes, the Djed to be raised. Like the flag with its emblem raised aloft in the thick of battle to rally the flagging energies of the army, the Djed is a beacon raised in the battle for the soul of the planet. (Horus and Set are at it again . . .) And, like the warrior heroes who have throughout history stood tall as champions of the many during times of great danger and crisis, the Djedi come forth that the Djed may be raised.

The Djedi sense, and know Osiris's arising as their own. As Osiris awakens from the sleep of the aeon, the Djedi also "rise to the occasion," moving into resonant relationship as the reconstellated members of the collective Osiris. Therefore, as the mighty bones creek and the ancient One stirs, let the Djedi return. This is the historical moment of our awakening and our call. The impulse and the need for us to ritualize these events in global celebration arise, naturally, in resonance with the mythic awakening of the archetype and because it is now alive in each of us. 

Now, we move from the quickening to the gathering."
