Woke up and did the morning Liber Resh. Didn't care for the language,
it felt so artificial:
Hail unto Thee who art Ra in thy rising,
even unto thee who art Ra in thy strength, who travelest over the heavens in
thy bark at the uprising of the sun. Tahuti standeth in his splendor at the
prow and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto thee from the abodes of night!
I am going to translate it into modern English. I'm pretty sure
that the Liber Resh has been done in many languages, and that medieval English
was modern by ancient Egypt standards, so I’m sure Ra will be fine with it. How about…
Greetings to you who are Ra in your rising, even
unto you who are Ra in your strength, who travels over the skies in your vessel at the rising of the sun. Tahuti stands in his splendor at the prow
and Ra-Hoor abides at the helm. Greetings to you from the dwellings of night!
I’ll have to translate all the others, which are mostly the same, except for a change in deity and characteristics. And I might change it further at a later point. This modern girl doesn't do medieval.
On another note, the LBRP felt more powerful this morning. I'm starting to get all the details down. I've also decided to begin again with the Gateway Experience program, and listened to the orientation recording for Wave I. There was stuff there I didn't get the other times I learned it. And I had totally forgotten that there was a Focus 3. I find this very interesting, and it's the reason I go over basics from time to time. It's amazing what you miss. I'm going to replace the Relaxation Ritual with the Gateway Experience, going over each recording every day for a week to be sure I cover it all thoroughly.
And the Major Arcana Tarot card I drew today was The Moon. I've gone back to using my Radiant RW. I didn't want to use it because I didn't want to take out the Major Arcana in order to do the TCR, but then I realized that I really didn't need to, and decided to simply shuffle the cards, cut them, and then draw cards until the first Major Arcana turned up. Today, however, The Moon was the first card.
I think it's fitting considering I decided to begin the Gateway Experience again and a confirmation that I am on the right track, There's a path to the mountain, and you have to go through the gates to reach it.
