Hi mate. It is great that someone cares a bit about trying to educate the community in these times of Koreans throwing their money to anything that shines. Please, accept as suggestion: make it more attractive and put some graphs and references. Nice to meet a pro.
I will start doing that soon. I just created a few Currencies, and am finding new Coins to join. So I will just have a bunch of Coins and Tokens and Assets and Steem and everything soon, and I will take Pictures as I am doing everything. I will show everyone how to go from a Currency that has a small or helpful community that helps new people get Coins, to Tokens and Assets, to Steem, then to in an upward, growing, spiral from there. I will also continue finding new Coins for everyone to be a part of, and we will be creating our own Graphene and HyperLedger Blockchains, so we will have Websites like Steemit Eventually, and I will find other people who are creating Websites and share them. So that way everyone will be able to go from a more comfortable Social Media Platform, of their choice rather than just a Reddit Clone (reddit is kind of like 4chan, not really for everyone), to an exchange, to Bitcoin and other Coins. And if they already have Money, and they want to spend money juicing up their accounts on those Websites without making their own Currency, or joining a new one, they can do that too. Or they can go through the process of joining a new coin, or making their own Coin, and then getting into everything else form there. But I will take pictures when I do things on exchanges, so that people can see it with our Coins and Tokens and Assets and everything, then to the other platforms. So everyone can always start from scratch. |

Everyone read through some of this, this is how Government Software Works. Police Search Engines and Databases, Library Search Engines and Databases, DMV, Search Engines, FBI Search Engines and Databases, NSA Search Engines, 311 Systems, the Water Department Database https://dhs.iowa.gov/sites/default/files/MED12001_MMISTechnicalProposal%28Accenture%29.pdfAnd it all works through Bids. Request for Proposals (RFPs) and Proposals. Once we have Coins on Exchanges, we will be sending people to the Project Management Institute, to start doing Six Sigma and stuff. https://www.pmi.org/That way everyone can start creating their own Companies within our Cryptocurrency Network. |

I have downloaded the wallet but it says "out of sync" for several hours now. Anyone knows how to fix this or maybe the blockchain still not active? Still working on the translations. Thanks for anyone who can answer.
Hi Dev, my temple coin it has been like that for like more than a day now. It is not syncing. I do hope you can address this one so that you can help me make the wallet work. Also do you have a step by step guide on how to mine using a laptop? And of course the wallet. Thanks. You may need to take your Wallet.bat file and then redownload the Wallet. Or, load the Blockchain on another Computer, and then send your Balance from the one that is stuck to the one that works. |

We are now in the DrowningPool Mining Pool http://aura.drowningpool.net/#/Here is the Facebook Group. Join the Facebook Group and add people to it from your Friends list, and tell them that Aura is about to be huge. https://www.facebook.com/groups/507638146242642/about/We should start Creating Aura Facebook groups too. I will start one for my Coins and Aura in a few days, and I will add a bunch of people and put information about Aura there. Everyone should start creating Cryptocurrency Facebook Groups, or joining other ones from this thread and adding their Friends and Family to those Facebook groups. |

That is Ethereum, Ethereum allows people to create Smart-Contracts/Tokens, right? Bitshares was the first Coin to do that, and the Bitshares Tokens are called User Issued Assets (UIAs). The OpenLedger Platform is a Decentralized Exchange Platform, where Nodes are held open by people who are Voted for. So no single person or Company really operates it, it exists on a Blockchain.  Here is OpenLedger https://openledger.info/Here is the Cryptofresh Blockchain Explorer, which keeps track of the Transactions on OpenLedger. http://cryptofresh.com/All of that is on the Blockchain. Here is the OpenLedger Github Repo https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-coreBitshares UI https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-uiSo, that is the Smart Contracts and the Exchange. Now, more recently Steemit was made. Which is like OpenLedger, but Social. And it is like Reddit, where you can Vote. https://steemit.com/Here is an example of a Steemit Fork https://github.com/Someguy123/understeemSteemit Copied Synero Synero https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=827782.0https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2413752.0http://www.synereo.com/https://themerkle.com/synereo-bringing-crypto-and-social-media-on-a-revolutionary-platform/Synereo Git Repo https://github.com/synereo/synereoHere is the Graphene Blockchain https://github.com/cryptonomex/grapheneHere is how to use it https://objectcomputing.com/resources/publications/sett/march-2017-graphene-an-open-source-blockchain/And we are just trying to create any kind of Social Media Platform on the Blockchain.

Of all the Social Media Websites on the Internet, Reddit is not really the best example. Reddit is almost secondary. Everyone is either on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, or all of them. But Reddit is Secondary, like YouTube. Steemit would do much better as a YouTube platform, where videos are uploaded and earn money, instead of Blogs. We will be launching a YouTube Graphene Clone eventually if someone else doesn’t. That explains Steemit on a superficial level. I am not saying that Steemit is a failure, I am saying that it would be better if there were a YouTube version. So secondly, Steemit is a platoform connected to a Coin. There is a backend to Steemit, called Steemd, and you can look at Steemd, just google it. And there are other things, like Blocktrades, which actually connects Steemit and Bitshares. The coin called STEEM, is a DPoWS, which stands for Delegated Proof of Work and Stake. So let me explain what Delegated Proof of Work and Stake means: Proof of Work is like Bitcoin and Litecoin and Dogecoin, where everyone Mines with Mining Machines. Proof of Stake is like Temple Coin or PeerCoin or various other Coins. The way Proof of Stake Works in Steemit, is that anyone that has Coins, has Coins that gain value. And they gain value at a very very high rate the first year or something, then they don’t gain as much after that. And you get coins via Proof of Work, or via Delegated Votes on your Steemit posts, which awards you STEEM from the Blockchain. Delegated means that the Proof of Work is Voted on, this is done through the “Witness” system. And any Computer or Server or Laptop or anything can be a Node and be a Witness. And Witnesses have the Obligation to Hold Open Nodes, and Mine Coins, which processes transactions and keeps the Blockchain moving. And they get a lot of Coins out of that. Delegated also applies to the Voting on Posts. On Steemit, you get paid when you get Votes, you get paid for Voting (more for posts that end up being popular and you voted early), and you can get votes on your Comments on Steemit. So the Delegated part is important to Steemit. Here is the Witness page on Steemit https://steemit.com/~witnessesWitnesses are secretly very important to Steemit, and anyone can become one by being voted for, but they don’t advertise that because they don’t want to get taken over. So that is the basics of how Steemit works. Once you have Bitshares and Bitshares UI donwloaded, here is what you are supposed to do dhcp19:graphene phil$ cd programs/witness_node

new >>> At this point, you can use the help command to explore how to use the wallet interface. Programming with Graphene The basic API for Graphene is based on remote procedure calls. The specific functions available depend on the terms of the contracts, defined by a particular blockchain instance. A common authentication module is accessed first through the login API. After authenticating, the client application is able to gather other remote object references and make calls to them. The FC library is used to manage the transport details, allowing the nodes to accept a variety of transport protocols. As currently delivered, the witness_node application is configured to accept HTTP formatted requests. From a C++ application, the Graphene apps library and FC library work together to provide a simple programming model for such access. Here is an example, taken from the cli_wallet application, showing how to connect to the node server, log in, and make additional calls. fc::http::websocket_client client;
idump((wdata.ws_server));
auto con = client.connect( wdata.ws_server );
auto apic = std::make_shared<fc::rpc::websocket_api_connection>(*con);
auto remote_api = apic->get_remote_api< login_api >(1);
edump((wdata.ws_user)(wdata.ws_password) );
// TODO: Error message here
FC_ASSERT( remote_api->login( wdata.ws_user, wdata.ws_password ) );
auto wapiptr = std::make_shared<wallet_api>( wdata, remote_api );
wapiptr->set_wallet_filename( wallet_file.generic_string() );
wapiptr->load_wallet_file();
fc::api<wallet_api> wapi(wapiptr);
auto wallet_cli = std::make_shared<fc::rpc::cli>();
for( auto& name_formatter : wapiptr->get_result_formatters() )
wallet_cli->format_result( name_formatter.first, name_formatter.second );
Without getting too deep, what is shown here is that wdata is some collection of initialization information collected from the command line, config files, etc. This is then used to create a client connection, log in (asserting that it was successful), creating an instance of the wallet API that communicates through the authenticated reference to make further calls.

That is Ethereum, Ethereum allows people to create Smart-Contracts/Tokens, right? Bitshares was the first Coin to do that, and the Bitshares Tokens are called User Issued Assets (UIAs). The OpenLedger Platform is a Decentralized Exchange Platform, where Nodes are held open by people who are Voted for. So no single person or Company really operates it, it exists on a Blockchain. Here is OpenLedger https://openledger.info/Here is the Cryptofresh Blockchain Explorer, which keeps track of the Transactions on OpenLedger. http://cryptofresh.com/All of that is on the Blockchain. Here is the OpenLedger Github Repo https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-coreBitshares UI https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-uiSo, that is the Smart Contracts and the Exchange. Now, more recently Steemit was made. Which is like OpenLedger, but Social.

new >>> At this point, you can use the help command to explore how to use the wallet interface. Programming with Graphene The basic API for Graphene is based on remote procedure calls. The specific functions available depend on the terms of the contracts, defined by a particular blockchain instance. A common authentication module is accessed first through the login API. After authenticating, the client application is able to gather other remote object references and make calls to them. The FC library is used to manage the transport details, allowing the nodes to accept a variety of transport protocols. As currently delivered, the witness_node application is configured to accept HTTP formatted requests. From a C++ application, the Graphene apps library and FC library work together to provide a simple programming model for such access. Here is an example, taken from the cli_wallet application, showing how to connect to the node server, log in, and make additional calls. fc::http::websocket_client client;
idump((wdata.ws_server));
auto con = client.connect( wdata.ws_server );
auto apic = std::make_shared<fc::rpc::websocket_api_connection>(*con);
auto remote_api = apic->get_remote_api< login_api >(1);
edump((wdata.ws_user)(wdata.ws_password) );
// TODO: Error message here
FC_ASSERT( remote_api->login( wdata.ws_user, wdata.ws_password ) );
auto wapiptr = std::make_shared<wallet_api>( wdata, remote_api );
wapiptr->set_wallet_filename( wallet_file.generic_string() );
wapiptr->load_wallet_file();
fc::api<wallet_api> wapi(wapiptr);
auto wallet_cli = std::make_shared<fc::rpc::cli>();
for( auto& name_formatter : wapiptr->get_result_formatters() )
wallet_cli->format_result( name_formatter.first, name_formatter.second );
Without getting too deep, what is shown here is that wdata is some collection of initialization information collected from the command line, config files, etc. This is then used to create a client connection, log in (asserting that it was successful), creating an instance of the wallet API that communicates through the authenticated reference to make further calls.

FBI Memo, written by J. Edgar Hoover on October 11, 1919
MEMORANDUM FOR MR. RIDGELY.
I am transmitting herewith a communication which has come to my attention from the Panama Canal, Washington office, relative to the activities of MARCUS GARVEY. Garvey is a West-Indian negro and in addition to his activities in endeavoring to establish the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation he has also been particularly active among the radical elements in New York City in agitating the negro movement. Unfortunately, however, he has not as yet violated any federal law whereby he could be proceeded against on the grounds of being an undesirable alien, from the point of view of deportation. It occurs to me, however, from the attached clipping that there might be some proceeding against him for fraud in connection with his Black Star Line propaganda and for this reason I am transmitting the communication to you for your appropriate attention.
The following is a brief statement of Marcus Garvey and his activities:
Subject a native of the West Indies and one of the most prominent negro agitators in New York;
He is a founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League;
He is the promulgator of the Black Star Line and is the managing editor of the Negro World;
He is an exceptionally fine orator, creating much excitement among the negroes through his steamship proposition;
In his paper the "Negro World" the Soviet Russian Rule is upheld and there is open advocation of Bolshevism.
Respectfully,
J.E. Hoover

For anyone who is looking to Buy Bitcoin right now, read this before you Buy: Bitcoin is currently hitting a Bottle Neck. That is not being talked about by very many people. The Bottle Neck is in Transactions. Recently, BitPay stopped processing Transactions under $100, simply because if it is smaller than that, then you are losing more money than it is worth. If you try to send Bitcoins today, it costs you at least $5 just to send the Bitcoin, and if you want it to go quickly, it costs more than $5; and if you use less than $5, the Network may not even accept your Transaction, and you will get your funds returned rather than put into a Transaction on the Blockchain (the $5 minimum is likely to go up as more people start using Bitcoin). The reason for this is because the people Mining Bitcoin are operating a "Knight Company" type Monopoly, the kind where they aren't doing it on purpose, but aren't mad it is happening and aren't stopping it. The Knight Company was a Sugar Company in the United States who in the early 1900s, had a Monopoly on the Sugar Market in America, and were producing and selling 99% of the Country's Sugar. The Supreme Court declared that this was not a "Monopoly" in the true sense of the Word, because a Monopoly is when the King decides that only 1 Company is allowed to do something. So the "True" meaning of Monopoly is when a Law grants 1 Company, or a "Trust" of Companies the ability to do something, and bars anyone else in the Country from engaging the in the same Practices. The Bitcoiners are like the Sugar Company. Bitcoin is currently something that everyone from kids to grandparents know the name of, and have some understanding of it. They have 99% of the Market, but it is because the kids and the grandparents; and the companies around the World, gave it to them; not because they plotted to take the Market in a secret Trust group/Cartel. You want to use Bitcoin, you don't want to use Ethereum, or Litecoin, or Dogecoin. So that creates the Monopoly, because they are Mining it, which processes your Transactions. So now, they decide which Transactions go through. If you are buying Bitcoins because there is a retailer or something that accepts them, then use Bitcoins. But if you are buying Bitcoins as an investment, as something that you want to earn money on, and "Cash Out" rather than Spend; then buy a different Currency than Bitcoin.  |

Just so everyone understands
The best way to get Aura to spread to as many people as possible is to share information about it on your Social Media pages, or with Flyers, or in casual Discussion. It's not just about Bitcointalk and this [ANN] thread. Everyone needs to do what we can to help new people get involved. It might even be good for everyone to give some Aura out for Free to your Friends and Family.
Once Aura is on an exchange, you can also still sell it person-to-person, you could accept cash in exchange for Aura, and you just send it directly to their wallet. Aura/YouStocks can be the easy way for everyone to go from Cash to Bitcoin, as long as they know someone with some Aura/YouStocks. We don't neccissarily just want "Bitcoin Users", we also want people who want to be Bitcoin users, but find the process of going from Bank to Coinbase to Exchanges too complicated.
|
|
|
|
Btw, everyone involved with Aura right now is going to be a Multi-Millionaire.
As soon as it is on an exchange, we can buy it at a low price, and I have a bunch of people who aren't good with computers who are right now waiting to buy it when it is cheap on the exchange, because they don't know how to mine, and can't figure it out, so they are just going to buy it instead.
Yes, it's a nice idea. When do you plan to have it on an exchange? I would be glad if it's on Bittrex. By the way, can you add it to MinerGate so we could mine it there? For now I have been going through all the Mining Pools and asking them to add us, February I will start going to exchanges, after we have a few Tokens on the Aura Network. Once we are all launching Tokens in this thread, and making [ANN] threads in the Token section for out Aura Tokens/YouStocks, then we will be extremely close to being on an exchange. |
|
|
|
Does anyone know the value of 1 token aura?
There is no current value. It was created 3 days ago, from now on, the value is based on the Community. |
|
|
|
so what's this all about? why is it in the ANN section?too much words that i don't want to read anymore.  So, our Coin has an International Human Rights Case against 2 States and the DEA, and we are going to have a Religious Marijuana Exemption very soon. TL;DR Version: Temple Coin is part of the First Federally Recognized Religious Marijuana Program |

I know it might not be instantly clicking in everyone's heads right now, because it's only been 72 hours or so, but we are creating a Community. We are a Community. I am not the Aura Coin Dev, but I have plans for Aura, the same way like IBM has plans for HyperLedger. I am going to be using Aura to create Wealth within an existing Community. And so the Community we are building here, and the Community I have put together already (who don't know anything about Cryptocurrencies and need help getting into it, so I am creating Currencies, and finding new Currencies they can use), will benefit each other. What I am doing is finding people who want to create Currencies for their Home Towns,Companies, etc. And Aura is the platform I am going to use to help people create Tokens if they don't know how to program at all. So, we will be having people creating Tokens for their Religion, or their Company, or their Town. Each Blockchain and Each Token will have their own Communities, and we will all benefit from each other.I created this thread, and if you want to use it to create your own Currency, feel free. But me and the Temple Coin group and soon going to be launching a series of Cryptonotes, that are meant to represent your Community and other Communities. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2622444We are starting with Temple Coin this week, and soon we will launch the next coins, which will be based on specific cities, not on ambigious random things, like "Star Coin" or "Bitcoin" or "Doge Coin" or "Kanye Coin", honestly Temple Coin is almost too ambiguous for me, but in the process of making coins I actually created 3 prototypes and decided to use Temple Coin as the Pilot Coin, or Proof of Concept. Calling Bitcoin the Internet of Money, which is what the Bitcoin community did, confused people. And my Coins are going to represent a new kind of Coin, created for a reason. For example. Create a Coin for your Religion (which is what this Temple Coin is), or create a Coin for your Town, or a Coin for your State, or a Coin for your Company, or anything. This is not going to be the Internet of Money, it is the Hashtags of Money. The same way Cryptonote created a sytem where anyone can create a Coin, and Forknote created a more streamlined version. I am going to add to that, and I will teach everyone who wants to learn, how to make their own Coin using the page where the Religious Coin files are. So I will take the Cryptonote information, and the Bytecoin information, and everything I have done to figure it out, and the things we went through to make their Instructions work. And I will make it easy for everyone, and since everyone's first question is probably "What would I make a Coin for?", my main point will be to Answer that Question for everyone. For your Town, for your Religion, for your Church, for your Charity, for your Government Organization, for your anything. Create a Coin. Then I will teach people how to get the Coin used by more people. The Cryptocoin system is no different than the Stock Market, or Currency Exchanging between Countries Currencies. It is the same. And it would make a lot more sense if they had meaning. And btw, I want to explain something about how the Market works for everyone, and about how we can make some money once our Coin has Value. A "Bitcoin Whale" is a person who has a ton of Bitcoin, the concept also exists in other things like Stocks. A Bitcoin Whale has so many Bitcoin, that if they sell a percentage of them, they can actually change the entire Bitcoin market. So, they use this leverage to make Money. The worst/best example is a Bear Whale. A Bear Whale drops the prices so low it scares everyone, then everyone Sells. So then the Bear Whale buys all the Coins everyone is frantically Selling Lower and Lower, they get a bunch of cheap Bitcoins, then they raise the Price back up. So, the first 100 or so people that are involved in mining and bounties of my Currencies, will have that kind of Power over the regional coin's market. And we can make a lot of Money with that by itself, or that mixed with Bitshares Assets, or that mixed with another Currency we make later, etc. We are also currently setting up a Cryptonote Mining Pool, so that when we begin launching these Cryptonotes, we can just add them to our own Pool. So anyone who is interested in Mining, and knows a little about Programming, this is a way where once there are Hundreds and Thousands of people Mining our Coins, their best bet to get the most Coins will be to join a Pool, put their Mining power toward the Pool, get a portion of all the Coins the Pool gets from every Block, and the owner of the Pool collects a small amount of fees from everyone. But once the Coin is up and running, people can start setting up Pools. And you can set up Pools for various Coins, so you can add new Coins that you want people to mine to your Pool. Think about it this way, why do you buy a Stock? Because you heard that Google or Apple or Tesla are launching something new. The US Dollar Represents a County, the British Pound Represents a County, the Chinese Yuan Represents a Country. What does Bitcoin Represent? Imagine if when #IceBucketChallenge happened, instead of doing it to get people to Donate, what if you could have mined #IceBucket coin, and given money to Research that way? They could even Premine 50% of the Coin Automatically in the Code (our Coin won't have premine, but the purpose would usually be fundraising), then launched the #IceBucketChallenge, and you can actually Mine the Hashtag, and make money from the Hashtag while the creator of the Hashtag makes money. But you can also do it for your Town, for your Company, for your Temple or Church, for anything. And share it like a Hashtag, and people don't have to dedicate themselves to 1 Coin, you can mine as many as you want. And with Cryptonotes, the big Mining Farms can't take all of the Coins, because they are made for Computer and Laptop Mining. So these are Coins that can't really become to hard for anyone to mine, as long as everyone knows where the new ones are. We are going to be creating Currencies that are meant to be used by you, and your City, or you, and your Church, or you, and your Employees and Customers; not coins that are meant to be shared with people who already mine Coins like Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum. We almost don't even want those people to know about these Coins; because the more directly involved they are in the growth of these coins, the less they will actually connected to the communities they claim to represent. If a bunch of MIT Bitcoiners get involved with a Coin called "Eskimo Coin", and no Eskimos are using it, but all the MIT guys are using it, then how is it really Eskimo Coin? We almost have to keep the Bitcoin people out, until each coin gets its footing in its community, then present the Currency (e.g. Eskimo Coin) as a representation of that Community, no different from a Stock representing Apple or Google and their Employees and profits. ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ ॐ Temple Coin and Shaligram are Sister Coins, and will be the Backbone of an entire network of Coins made by people all over the World to represent their Home Towns, Countries, and other Real World Concepts. Shaligram is for Mining, while Temple Coin is handed out for Free. The Temple Coin ICO will go through February, and will be Free; Free Coins will continue to be handed out even after we get on an exchange. If you want to buy Coins so that you have more, that is also available as part of the ICO through one of our Other Team Members. Our Team will be introduced in this thread today. Wallets are at the bottom of this post.

Zerodrama here (worked on bitcoin, litecoin, feathercoin, catcoin code and community building).
The Shaligram node is up.
The code has been fixed to build on Ubuntu 16.04.

Have fun
More instructions and details coming.
Temple Coin Temple Coin ॐ[TMPC]ॐ is a Scypt Coin, Proof-of-Stake (PoS) of 8% per year. The ICO started on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, so we already have a Community and are simply presenting that Community to the Bitcoin World. This may very well be the first Coin that is not about itself, but is part of an existing Community, and tied to something larger than itself, and that larger thing it is tied to is not called Bitcoin. Temple Coin ॐ[TMPC]ॐ is not a single Coin, but the Backbone of a Community and a Network of Coins and we will be finding people around the World to create Coins with the name of their Home Towns and Countries. We will soon have an Ethereum Clone and a Bitshares Clone that we are currently working on now. If anyone would like to complete that now, you can get a Bounty for it, but our Team is currently doing it also, but are always willing to accept a New Coin into the Network. http://shaivitetemple.org/Forum/topic/information-about-the-shaivite-temple/The first 10,000 Blocks had 300 Coins each in them, and were mined by people from advertisments of the Coin on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter; we wanted to bring in New People, not create a Coin for Bitcointalk. So before you have a chance to say “I don’t want to use a New Coin unless it has New Code”, I would just like to point out that we don’t care and we already have a Community. There will only ever be 138,461,538 Temple Coins total, and it was 9% premined, which is being used to hand out for Free in the ICO (still going on, maybe all the way through February) as well as for the Bounties. There are already 100+ users total, as 50,000 Coins each was handed out to various individuals on Social Media and spread to their friends and family.

Types of Color Blindness    Color Blindness Test  Sasha Shulgin suggested that Psychedelics could be used to answer questions like “Is your Orange actually my Green?”. All we have to do is create Light scales and Color scales and Sound scales and Taste scales, etc for different Psychedelics, then someone could use a Psychedelic the same way an eye doctor uses the different lenses to find out what your prescription should be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NV4pzPm55IFor example, the Dress.

STEP 1-Christmas- Launch Temple Coin, a Proof-of-Stake Litecoin Clone, and Spread it on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, while keeping it away from people who already have a ton of different coins, so as to create a new Community, instead of getting existing Bitcoiners to come into our Community. Week after Christmas- Create Chat Room, Create Currency Symbol, Recruit Temple Coin Emissaries First Month- Launch a Cryptonote Mining Pool for when we start launching Cryptonotes, Launch the first Town Based Cryptonote, January 20th 2018 make the first Temple Coin sale for Malawi Strains, Give out as many Temple Coins as possible. That first sale will create value for the Coin. The first Bitcoin sale was 10,000 Bitcoins for 2 Pizzas. That is now over $10,000,000 in Bitcoin. And I was there when Bitcoin was $5 and we personally had to go in large numbers beg companies like Paypal to accept Bitcoins. I was part of Bitcoin becoming what it is, it is guaranteed that I can get value for Currencies I make. I know what I am doing. STEP 2-Second Month- Announce Temple Coin, the first Temple Coin sales, and the Community and the Chat Room and the Cryptonote Mining Pool on Bitcointalk, Bitsharestalk, and all Cryptocurrency related forums. Find an Exchange- At this point we will begin contacting Exchanges to let them know about the Community we have that they can collect fees from if they add our coin to their exchange. And if there is anyone that has Temple Coins but no patience, you can go ahead and start contacting Exchanges and asking them to list Temple Coin. I will get it listed somewhere by some time in February, but if you really really just have no patience, go ahead and start asking websites like these to list us: https://novaexchange.com/markets/https://c-cex.com/ STEP 3- Creating ValueOnce we are on an exchange, we will just start making money hand over fist. (A) First, what I will do, is this: even if the coin is only $0.001 each or something, I will take a large portion of the Coins I have, and I will buy Silver with them. Then I will start offering Silver for sale in exchange for Temple Coins and our Town Currencies. This will create a flood of people who want to buy the Coin, because if they buy the Coin and hold it in their Wallet, it will gain 8% interest per year, and they could either wait for the Coin to go up in value a little, then use it to buy Silver, or use that 8% every year to buy Silver. And because you will be able to do that, the value will go up. I will also create Ethereum Tokens and Bitshares Assets, that we can use for Trading; and we will create a Steemit group where we all create accounts with tons of voting power. (B) Then, once we have Silver being traded for Coins, then we will get land and start building a physical Temple. And once we have a Physical Temple, we will begin to fill it with these things:   Trading Sacred Items for Coins Japa mala or Mala (माला), meaning: garland, is a set of beads commonly used by Hindus and Buddhists, usually made from 108 beads, though other numbers are also used. Malas are used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a mantra or the name or names of a deity. This practice is known in Sanskrit as japa.

Generally, it is used to denote the sacred ash which is made of burnt dried wood in Vedic rituals. Hindu devotees apply vibhuti traditionally as three horizontal lines across the forehead and other parts of the body to please the god Shiva. Vibhuti smeared across the forehead to the end of both eyebrows is called Tripundra. https://www.vedicvaani.com/bhasma-vibhooti-powderPuranas describe these faces of Shiva as: “Sadyojata, Vamdeva, Tatpurusha & Aghora are the four faces, The fifth is Ishana, unknowable even to the seers” Ishana (sanskr. Īśāna) – name of aspect of Shiva. The name Ishana is also mentioned in Shiva Mahapurana as one of five names of the god. Īśāna has its roots in the word “ish”, which means the invisible power that governs the universe. The wielder of this power, or this power itself, is “Īśāna”. It is synonymous with Ishwar, which means “The Lord”. In Hindu Scriptures this is a name given to Shiva. As per Hindu scriptures Shiva has five heads, each denoting one of the five tattvas (elements) namely Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Ether (also called as Sky-element or aakash-tattva in sanskrit) that make up the universe. This fifth head of Shiva faces the upward direction, towards the sky. Īśāna signifies the subtle ethereal form of Shiva that represents transcendental knowledge. This dimension is reinforced by Vaastu Shastra, which says that Ishanya-disha (north-eastern direction) represents Prosperity and Knowledge. So Īśāna also has a symbolic meaning. In Hindu customs, north represents wealth and happiness while the east symbolizes knowledge and peace; Īśāna is a combination of both. It is also considered to be the name of the god of Vastu Śāstra. the Brahman splits into male (Parashiva) and female (Parasakti) and manifests as the universe. The Parashiva has five aspects: Sadyojata – west aspect that propagates manifest Brahman-associated with brahma – represents earth. Vamadeva – north aspect that sustains manifest Brahman – associated with Vishnu – represents water Aghora – south aspect that rejuvenates manifest Brahman – associated with Rudra – represents fire Tatpurusha – east aspects Rishi, Muni, Jnani, yogi – represents air Isana – internal aspect that conceals – associated with all that exist – represents ether http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/108-Natural-Nepal-Small-Rudraksha-With_938193375.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Rose-Quartz-Bracelets-with-Rudraksha-red_50014875243.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/SB6323-Nepal-Rudraksha-Beads-Rudraksha-Mala_1543378759.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Nepal-Bodhi-Beads-Rudraksha-Seeds-Catholic_60236703533.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/PRIMERO-Nepal-Rudraksha-muslim-prayer-beads_60329024964.htmlhttp://reseller.alibaba.com/product-detail/Jasper-Rudraksha-Wooden-Beaded-Buddha-Bracelet_60453942744.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Nepal-Rudraksha-Vajra-Bodhi-beads-bracelets_60528331568.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Tibetan-108-Beads-mala-necklace-Seed_60314270576.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Indian-Nose-Rings-Stone-Nath-Jewelry_60208070007.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/BIG-HOOP-NATH-press-NOSE-RING_50025532050.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/BestDance-New-Colorful-Belly-Dance-Nose_60473784422.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/designer-bangles-kadas-and-bracelets-from_1719882606.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Fashion-Arm-Band-Tribal-Bangle-Armlet_60501623142.html?s=phttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Various-Boho-Turquoise-Bracelet-16-Items_60328128484.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Arm-jewelry-accessories-armlet_60272653121.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Indian-Ethnic-Bollywood-Wedding-Saree-Waist_50018801598.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/BRIDAL-WEAR-SILVER-TONE-TRADITIONAL-KAMAR_140335448.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Traditional-Belly-Dance-Gold-Tone-Women_134309718.htmlhttp://reseller.alibaba.com/product-detail/Fashion-Long-Jhumka-Style-Earring-Blue_60551693819.html?s=phttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/EYQ-00012-crystal-elegant-long-large_60510332111.html?s=phttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/White-Gold-Plated-Crystal-Drop-Bindi_60472498992.html?s=phttp://reseller.alibaba.com/product-detail/Head-Chain-Indian-Bollywood-Matha-Patti_60545619726.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Gold-plated-jewellery-headpiece-exports-supply_50015624438.htmlhttp://reseller.alibaba.com/product-detail/CR085-Grecian-Crown-Infinity-Chain-Alloy_60511365858.htmlhttp://wholesaler.alibaba.com/product-detail/Indian-head-chain-jewelry-wholesale_60285847856.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Waist-Chain-for-Lady-Belly-Chain_60502449473.html?s=phttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Indian-Style-Alloy-Gold-Silver-Plated_60517985045.html?s=phttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/New-Simple-Style-Alloy-Jewelry-Belly_60172019469.htmlhttp://wholesaler.alibaba.com/product-detail/Summer-Beach-Blue-Beads-Charm-and_60497072041.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Vintage-Handmade-Kantha-Scarves-Stoles-Duppatta_50000129783.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Indian-Silk-Sarees_50031189825.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Assam-Silk-Sarees-Mekhela-Chadar_50002739809.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Patiala-salwar-with-designer-kurta_50016069390.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Pale-Haldi-Yellow-With-Mix-Dark_144256513.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Indian-Pakistani-Salwar-Kameez-Ethnic-Anarkali_60415282830.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Indian-Designer-Banflori-SIlk-Blouse-banglori_60415616636.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/LANGA-STYLE-SAREE_143998997.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/online-shopping-dhoti-patiala-salwar-Suits_50031971415.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/women-wide-cashmere-shawl-made-in_60459845109.htmlhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/colorful-girls-cashmere-shawls_558315101.html STEP 4-From here it gets a little harder to explain as a point by point operation, so I will more generally explain what I am trying to say. If you live in America you probably think that Religion is all about Heaven and Hell, but it turns out most Religions don’t even believe in those things. In Hinduism Cows are considered important, and you have probably wondered why. It is because Cows give us milk, so they are considered one of your Mothers. And even today Milk is right along side Orange juice as a staple in many people’s fridge. Cows are pretty much treated like people because they are seen as a representation of the Mother Goddess Kamadhenu. No Temples are dedicated to her, but the Cows are her Temples. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KamadhenuThe 7 Mothers are known as Matrikas or Matara and are important to Shaktism, which is the worship of the Feminine forces of nature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MatrikasAnd if you look in to other Polytheistic Religions they treat Cows similarly, but they would also eat the Cow. They just thought it was fun to treat it nice first. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apis_%28god%29The word “Yoga” means “to add” or “to join” or “combined”, and it can be visualized as putting a Yoke onto an Ox, in that you are employing your body for a purpose. Yoga practice is meant to be focused on the 5 Sheaths or 5 Kosha, which are: Foodstuff, Energy, Mnd-stuff, Wisdom & Bliss. The goal is to practice these things and line your body up with them so that the 5 Kosha are working together and at full capacity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KoshaAn important part of this process is learning about your Prana, which is in your breathing & heart. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PranaAccording to the Doctrine of the Three bodies in Hinduism, the human being is composed of three sariras or “bodies” emanating from Brahman by avidya, “ignorance” or “nescience”. They are often equated with the five koshas (sheets), which cover the atman. The Three Bodies Doctrine is an essential doctrine in Hinduism. Shaktipat or Śaktipāta (Sanskrit, from shakti – “(psychic) energy” – and pāta, “to fall”) refers in Hinduism to the conferring of spiritual “energy” upon one person by another. Shaktipat can be transmitted with a sacred word or mantra, or by a look, thought or touch – the last usually to the ajna chakra or third eye of the recipient. A Mantrik or mantric is someone who specializes in practicing mantra. In India the word mantrik & similar names are synonymous with magician in different languages. Generally a mantrik is supposed to derive his powers from the use of charms, mantras, spells and other methods. A Hindu mantrik is known to worship Kali and is often mentioned in the same breath as tantric, though there are subtle differences. A Mantrik is one who chants to please a god or evil spirit for his benefit. Mantras are sacred chantings containing magical and mystical words. Sahasrara (Sanskrit: सहस्रार, IAST: Sahasrāra, English: “thousand-petaled”) or crown chakra is the seventh primary chakra, according to Hindu tradition. Ajna (Sanskrit: आज्ञा, IAST: Ājñā, English: “command”) or third-eye chakra is the sixth primary chakra according to Hindu tradition. Vishuddha (Sanskrit: विशुद्ध, IAST: Viśuddha, English: “especially pure”), or Vishuddhi, or throat chakra is the fifth primary chakra according to the Hindu tradition. Anahata (Sanskrit: अनाहत, IAST: Anāhata, English: “unstruck”) or heart chakra is the fourth primary chakra, according to Hindu Yogic, Shakta and Buddhist Tantric traditions. In Sanskrit, anahata means “unhurt, unstruck and unbeaten”. Anahata Nad refers to the Vedic concept of unstruck sound (the sound of the celestial realm). Ananhata is associated with a calm, serene sound devoid of violence. Manipura (Sanskrit: मणिपूर, IAST: Maṇipūra, English: “jewel city”) or solar plexus/navel chakra is the third primary chakra according to Hindu tradition. Svadhishthana (Sanskrit: स्वाधिष्ठान, IAST: Svādhiṣṭhāna, English: “one’s own base”) or sacral chakra is the second primary chakra according to Hinduism. Muladhara (Sanskrit: मूलाधार, IAST: Mūlādhāra, English: “root support”) or root chakra is one of the seven primary chakras according to Hinduism. It may be represented by the color red, but its root square form is usually yellow. Yoga, including breathing techniques and postures (asana), is employed to balance the energies in the body/mind. Mudras, or gestures Mantras: syllables, words, and phrases Mandalas Yantras: symbolic diagrams of forces at work in the universe Identification with deities Many people don’t know this, but 92 Percent of the World’s Diamond Industry is centered in Surat India. Diamonds are actually not as expensive as we make them, and supposedly one Jewelry company owns more diamonds than the rest of the world combined. Diamonds were not a popular engagement gift in America until around the 1940s and the whole process to create diamonds that reflect light comes from the Hindu religion. When Britain owned most of the world they spread Diamonds to everyone, just like tea, and the Cullinan Diamond (the biggest diamond in the world) is still kept by the Royal family. Diamonds are pretty much unbreakable, which is what makes them so useful. They are used on the tips of tools so that etchings can be made in rocks, or metal. But the main thing that people think of when they think of a Diamond are the facets. Diamond cutting is about getting all the right angles so that the light is most utilized and shines out in all directions as much as possible. This comes from Hindu tradition. You can see the same idea in a Rudraksha bead. A Rudraksha bead is meant to symbolize Shiva’s Eyes, the word for Diamond in Sankrit is Vairja which is the same word for lightning bolt, and lightning is associated with the God Indra. The Vairja is important to both Hindu and Buddhist cultures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VajraThe picture of an orange seed is a Rudraksha Seed, you can see it has many faces just like a diamond. Ancient Hindu scriptures mention eight types of diamonds 1. Hanspati: transparent white color like a conch, 2. Kamlapati: transparent pinkish white, like lotus petal. 3. Vajraneel: transparent blue-white, like the color of the neck of a blue jay, 4. Vanaspati: transparent green-white, like fresh blade of grass, 5. Shyamvajra: transparent smoky-grey color 6. Telia: oily,and dark color. 7. Sanloyi: yellow-green or pale green color, The 2 topped, tapered, or scroll looking object is a ritual object is known as a Vairja, and it is meant to represent lightning and diamonds.   Plants considered Sacred to Shiva: Marijuana, Golden Apples (Bael fruit), Ashoka Trees, Peepal Trees, Banyan Trees, Coconut Trees, Red Sandalwood Trees, Kesara Trees & Champaka Trees.

Mercury (Parad) is considered sacred to Shiva. Venus = ♀ Mars = ♂ Saturn = Saturday = Lead Sun = Sunday = Gold Moon = Monday = Silver Mars = Tuesday = Iron Mercury = Wednesday = Mercury Jupiter = Thursday = Tin Venus = Friday = Copper Ashtadhatu is a mixture of all metals.

Every day the Sun comes up in a slightly different spot than the day before, and in 365 days it goes back to the original spot. This is how Egyptians and Mayans had such great Calendars, they just made a wall to act as a fake Horizon for the Sun, then they would mark a line on the wall where the Sun rose, and at the end of the year they had 365 marks. And as the Sun seems to move around the Earth throughout the year, it passes through different Stars, and these Stars became the Constellations. Aries, the Ram=April=Amethyst Taurus, the Bull=May=Agate Gemini, the Twins=June=Beryl Cancer, the Crab=July=Emerald Leo, the Lion=August=Ruby Virgo, the Virgin=September=Jasper Libra, the Balance=October=Diamond Scorpio, the Scorpion=November=Topaz Sagittarius, the Archer=December=Carbuncle Capricorn, the Goat=January=Onyx Chalcedony Aquarius, the Waterbearer=February=Sapphire Pisces, the Fishes=March =Chrysolite The Ogdoad can be found as a theme throughout most modern religions and some ancient Religions. An example of this is ancient Egypt. In the picture above you can see that the Sun has been placed in a boat, this is known as the Solar boat and it is thought to be part of the force that moves the Sun and the Moon across the sky. But if you look in the Solar boat you will see more Gods than just the Sun and moon, this is because the Egyptians noticed the Planets in the sky and called them Gods, just like the Sun is a God. This religion can be found in Ancient Egypt, Ancient Sumeria, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome and Modern India/Hinduism. Then there was Horus who represented the Horizon, but he was the planet Mars. They figured out the Cycle of Mars just like the Sun, and they also had the Moon’s Cycles (And Moon Cycles give the lengths of our Months) and the Cycles of various planets. Even the Jewish Nomads knew about some of the Planets, they called Mars ‘The Blushing One’. And in Christianity the 7 known planets of the time can be found in the Ancient Greek Christian Gnostic idea of The 7 Heavens which represented the Bodies in the Heavens the Heavenly Bodies or Planets. Some people like to say “They Planets were named after the Gods, the Gods weren’t named after the planets” but that would only be true if Greece and Rome discovered the planets independently, but Greece found them first and gave them to Rome. And Egypt and Sumeria actually found them first. The 7 Heavenly bodies can still be found in our days of the week “Sun day” for the Sun, “Mon Day” for the Moon, etc. And the spoked wheel spread with this knowledge, an the spokes and their function are themselves a symbol of this. A lot of people see statues of Zeus now a days and think that Ancient people thought Zeus threw lightning bolts at them, but before people knew about Gravity and the Atmosphere, they thought the Planets controlled the weather and it was specifically thought that Jupiter (Zeus) controlled the Lightning. Many plants used to be thought to have a cycle based on the Planets and not the sun, and in the modern ‘Old Farmer’s Almanac’ every year they publish the planetary crop planting cycle. And the history of Machines and Gears actually comes from the measuring of the sky on boats, and people making mechanical navigation devices. So Machines come from this also.    In Dream Yoga the Dream world is seen as a place where you can gain enlightenment, and the goal of Dream Yoga is to make massive progress in your dreams.It is similar to regular Yoga and is based on some of the same ideas. For example “Sadhana” which is Spiritual Progress, which is the base word of “Sadhu”, which is a Shaivite Priest. When you read most Lucid Dream Guides, they will usually just get you to the Point of Lucid Dreaming. Much of it is focused on the WILD, MILD, DILD, WBTB, etc etc. Techniques. But often times people do not make suggestions past that, except maybe to Fly or Meditate or use Jedi powers. But in Tibetan Dream Yoga “Realize You are Dreaming” is step 1. Not the last step like in usual guides, that is the first step in Dream Yoga. The next goal in Dream Yoga is to eliminate any fears while dreaming. So once you “Realize you are in a dream” you have to actually “Realize you are not in the real world” so you have no restrictions. Breathe underwater, Put out fire with your hands, Jump off a cliff, Find a snake or anything else you may be afraid of or think can harm you. Then once you are aware that you are not in the real world, the goal is to contemplate the real world and how it is similar in how time passes and things happen, etc. Meditate on reality while you are in your dream. You can always go back to thinking about reality and interchange between different goals, but the next goal is to take control of the dream world. Playing with the Physics instead of just living within them. Not just making yourself fly, but making a tree carry you to the clouds. Or changing the weather or moving the Sun, Moon and Stars. Or Shrinking a mountain. Also try making things completely different, for example turning a Fish into a Dog, or turning a Tree into a Person. Then, you have to realize that in the dream you are not a constant object. You can also change in the dream to become other things. Then from there, the goal is to contact different entities in the dream and travel to different places with them or through them. These worlds are known as “Loka” in the ancient Sanskrit Language and are also talked about in Hindu tradition. The Entities you are supposed to seek are known as “Yidam” and can also be found in Buddhist Yoga. Comparing your dreams to reality is a must in Dream Yoga so writing down your dreams is probably a good way to start doing that. Also thinking about your dreams while you Meditate is a good opposite technique to Meditating on Reality while you are dreaming. A Ritual used in Tibetan Dream Yoga is known as the “RAOM GAOM” Mantra, where you say “RRRAAAOOOMMMM” and “GGGGAAAOOOMMM” with special emphasis on the “O”. This is meant to help you remember your dreams if you do it when you wake up. This is the Dream Yoga technique for inducing Dreams. The Symbol below is the Tibetan Syllable that sounds like “Ah”. If you imagine this symbol in the middle of your chest, and think “Ahhhhhhh” in your head. It will help you go into a Vivid or Lucid dream. The Calendar is 52 Weeks, a Card Deck is 52 Cards. The Deck of Cards that we all know today comes from Tarot Cards. Spades is Swords, Clubs is Wands, Diamonds is Pentagrams/Coins, and Hearts is Chalices. There are 52 Cards in a Deck, and 52 Weeks in a year. There are 4 Suits, and there are 4 Seasons. Knowing this you can begin to see how Systems were created for Predicting things using Cards. Each of the 4 Seasons has been associated with a Direction, a Lunar Pattern, a Solar Pattern and a Color; The Seasons are also associated with the Birth Signs (Capricorn, Aquarius, Leo, Libra, Pieces, etc). This is what is used in Cultures all over the world, it is also in the Native American Medicine Wheel. And in the Chinese Calendar, as well as other Calendars, the Years are associated with Animals. In the Chinese Animals Calendar you can begin to see the larger Cycles of time, that are forgotten in the modern day to day, year to year thinking. North: Earth Diamonds/Pentagrams New Moon Winter Midnight Green West: Water Hearts/Chalices Waning Moon Autumn Sunset Blue East: Air Clubs/Wands Waxing Moon Spring Sunrise Yellow South: Fire Spades/Swords Full Moon Summer Noon Red Panchaloha (Sanskrit Devanagari: पञ्चलोह; Tamil: பஞ்சலோகம், ஐம்பொன்(aimpon); IAST: pañcaloha; Tibetan: ལྕགས་རིགས་སྣ་ལྔ, Wylie: lcags rigs sna lnga) (also called Panchaloham, Panchdhatu – literally, “five metals”) is a term for traditional five-metal alloys of sacred significance used for making Hindu temple idols (Murti). Making Panchaloha images was a well kept secret for a long time and their color changing properties added to their mysticism. The composition is laid down in the Shilpa shastras, an ancient Sanskrit text on idol making. It is traditionally described as an alloy of gold(Au), silver(Ag), copper(Cu), iron(Fe) and lead(Pb) as the major constituent. Instead of lead, some use tin (Sn) or zinc (Zn). It is widely believed that wearing jewellery made of Panchaloha / Panchdhatu brings balance in life, self-confidence, good health, fortune, prosperity, and peace of mind. In some traditions, particularly Tibetan, it was considered auspicious to use thokcha, meteorite iron; either as a component of the alloy in general, or for a specific object or purpose. The amount used could vary, depending upon the material’s availability and suitability, among other considerations. A small, largely symbolic quantity of “sky-iron” might be added, or it might be included as a significant part of the alloy-recipe. Practical compositions are Cu, Au, Ag, Pb and Zn; Cu, Ag, Pb, Fe and Sn; and Sn, Cu, Fe, Pb, and brass. Because of the cost, gold and silver are now omitted from the manufacture of general-purpose icons, where copper, brass, and lead in the ratio 29:2:1 are used. In Hinduism, a murti (Devanagari: मूर्ति), or murthi, or vigraha or pratima typically refers to an image that expresses a Divine Spirit (murta). Meaning literally “embodiment”, a murti is a representation of a divinity, made usually of stone, wood, or metal, which serves as a means through which a divinity may be worshiped. Hindus consider a murti worthy of serving as a focus of divine worship only after the divine is invoked in it for the purpose of offering worship. The depiction of the divinity must reflect the gestures and proportions outlined in religious tradition. A murti is a means of communication with the god or Brahman in Hinduism. Murti is a Sanskrit term which is meant to point to the transcendent “otherness” of the divine; therefore the word “murti” cannot be substituted with or translated as statue or idol without losing the underlying concept’s inherent meaning and taking on unrelated connotations. braxas. For this name the Greek table is used. Abraxas in Greek is Ἀβραξας. Α = 1, β = 2, ρ = 100, α = 1, ξ =60, α = 1, ς = 200, the sum being 365, the number of days in the year. This number furnishes the key to the mystery of Abraxas, who is symbolic of the 365 Æons, or Spirits of the Days, gathered together in one composite personality. Abraxas is symbolic of five creatures, and as the circle of the year actually consists of 360 degrees, each of the emanating deities is one-fifth of this power, or 72, one of the most sacred numbers in the Old Testament of the Jewish people and in their Qabbalistic system. One of the most popular of magical devices was the amulet, worn upon the person or attached to objects and animals (the Hebrew word for amulet, kame‘a, has the root meaning “to bind”) . Even in our supposedly non-superstitious age the good-luck charm is still quite familiar, apologetically displayed on watch-chain, or carried furtively in the recesses of pockets and purses—the rabbit’s foot, the horseshoe, lucky coins, rings engraved with Chinese or Hebrew letters, animal molars. How much more common, then, are such objects in societies which unashamedly and openly accept them for what they are, whether in the less sophisticated regions of our contemporary world, or in the medieval and ancient worlds, which did not for a moment doubt their efficacy! As a matter of fact, it has been suggested that all ornaments worn on the person were originally amulets. A familiar characteristic of magic is the injunction to do things in reverse, to walk backward, to put one’s clothing on backward, to throw things behind one’s back. The same principle applies in incantations, and Talmudic and medieval Jewish charms amply illustrate its operation. Biblical quotations were often recited both forward and backward, mystical names were reversed; sometimes the words were actually written backward as they were to be uttered, so that it requires considerable mental agility not to be taken in by the unnatural rendering. Phrases that are capable of being read alike in either direction were especially highly prized. The purpose was to capitalize the mystery of the bizarre and unfamiliar, and the power that is associated with the ability to reverse the natural order of things. One type of incantation whose power derived from its form rather than its content was especially suited to dispel demons. Its Jewish archetype is found in the Talmudic spell against the demon Shabriri, which runs: Shabriri briri riri iri ri As Rashi explained its effect, “The demon shrinks and finally vanishes as he hears his name decreasing letter by letter. The greatest feat to which the magician aspired was that of creation. Discussing this subject in the pages of the Talmud, R. Papa observed that the creative power of magic covered only gross and massive objects and creatures, such as the camel, but not fine and delicate things, and R. Eliezer maintained that the demons, to whom the magician owes this power, can create nothing smaller than a barley-corn. This was the standard limitation imposed on sorcerers by medieval writers, though, as the Gemara explained: “The demons cannot actually create even large beings, but merely assemble already created but unused primeval matter.” Thus the ultimate act of genesis was reserved for God alone. It was nowhere suggested that human life could be created by ordinary magical means. But the Talmud recognized also a second method of creation, which required the application of the “Laws of Creation,” probably an oral collection of mystical traditions relating to the original creation of the universe. The kind of magic comprised in these “Laws of Creation” was the only one that was “permitted ab initio.” By means of it, “if the righteous so desired they could create a universe. Raba created a man and sent him to R. Zeira, who conversed with him but he could not answer; so he exclaimed, ‘You are created by magic, return to your dust!’ Rabbis Ḥanina and Oshaya used to sit every Friday and occupy themselves with the Book [read: Laws] of Creation and create a three-year-old calf which they ate.” For a description of this method we must rely on the tradition preserved by the commentators; Rashi wrote, “They used to combine the letters of the Name by which the universe was created; this is not to be considered forbidden magic, for the works of God were brought into being through His holy Name.” The Talmudic Laws of Creation (unrelated to the later mystical Book of Creation) appear, then, to have been an exposition of the familiar name-magic, the foremost constituent of medieval Jewish practice, but in consonance with the difficulty and the prodigiousness of its object, a very exalted and esoteric department. Medieval Jews, like their Christian contemporaries, were avid of the power to create human life, and believed implicitly in man’s ability to do so. William of Auvergne (thirteenth century) wrote, “Men have tried to produce, and thought that they succeeded in producing human life in other ways than by the usual generative process,” but the methods pursued by non-Jews were less subtle than the one proposed by the Talmud. For example, a fourteenth-century Christian writer cited the Arab Rasis (tenth century) on generating a human being by putting an unnamed substance in a vase filled with horse manure, for three days. The thirteenth-century German Ḥasidim (Pietists and Mystics) were especially intrigued by this problem. From them comes the use of the word golem (literally, shapeless or lifeless matter) to designate a homunculus created by the magical invocation of names. The image was to be made of “virgin soil, from a mountainous place where no man has ever dug before,” and the incantation, which comprised “the alphabets of the 221 gates,” must be recited over every single organ individually. A further detail, often noted, was the incision upon the forehead of the name of God, or of the word emet (“truth”). The destruction of this creature was effected by removing that name, by erasing the initial letter of emet, leaving met (“dead”), or by reversing the creative combinations, for, as R. Jacob b. Shalom, who came to Barcelona from Germany in 1325, remarked, the law of destruction is nothing more than a reversal of the law of creation. The 72 names of God   |
