The Dolmen
The DOLMEN (formerly The Menhir) is the current events page for Nemeta. The word menhir refers to a single standing stone erected at sacred sites all across Europe and the Levant in ancient times dating from 6000 BCE and earlier. From Breton French, men-, stone and –hir, long. By contrast a dolmen is a table stone, shelter, or portal constructed of several stones.
As before, The Dolmen announces and tracks new posts, related topics of interest, timely events, and ongoing activities.
Mission Statement
Nemeta is a modern Mystery School with two objectives: Preserve and advance the legacy of Gnosticism with its centerpiece, the sacred narrative of the Sophia, the Fallen Goddess Scenario, and restore the Humanities. The nexus of the Mysteries and Humanities is not incidental or contrived. The evidence of both prehistory and history shows that it was the illumined teachers of the Gnostic network who introduced literacy and fostered the arts and sciences of civilization, as well as practical and artisanal crafts.
Participation in Nemeta can be compared to constructing a circle of standing stones like the one at Callanish in the Scottish Hebrides (below).
The unitary goal of self-initiation today is consecration, literally working with (con-) the primordial ground of power, the Sacred. That ground is literally beneath your feet and in the sky around you, both in the biosphere and the starry cosmos beyond. The mother planet is the immediate and accessible source of all human perception, emotion, aspiration, moral-creative power and intention. To be consecrated is to be based there. The truth that makes life worth living on our own terms and for others as well, those living today and who will live in the future, grows from the experience of unity in the mother source, the ground of beauty and freedom.

Wednesday 27th August 2025: D 4 of the second Bhairavi shift. Lately I’ve been finding confirmation on basics of the KWP code from Sammy “The Bull” Gravano, a Mafia hitman credited (by admission) with 19 kills. He is a top-notch storyteller and I, for one, believe that he is genuine and honest. His explanation of the rationale of hits both inside and outside La Cosa Nostra reveals nuances of the situational ethics and special conditions for the application of lethal force that I do not find elsewhere. So far.
But today this video came up on random feed.
I hesitate to call this kind of talk moral edification, but at the end of the day, that’s exactly what it is. Good people submit to bad situations. That is a large measure of the great misfortune of our time. But good, morally upright people can also be produced by bad situations. The testimonial advice of this veteran of the Gulags stands up well beside Sammy’s repertoire of cautionary tales.
Monday 25th August 2025: New unit in 6. Living Myth:
Wednesday 6th August 2025: New unit on Celestical Mantique in 11 Skywatching:
Sunday 3rd August 2025: New unit published in 6. Living Myth:
This exchange gives some insight into the question of how to restore and revive Nordic/Scandinavian myth and lore. It begs the question, Do natives of Northern Europe living today and in the future need a guiding narrative and moral criteria derived from their indigenous resources? If so, how can it be provided? If not, what are their options?
It may seem a far reach that this exchange goes to the archetype of the Trickster. I believe I’ve stated my interpretation 0f that figure elsewhere. The Trickster is by far the most baffling and widely represented supernatural figure on record. It appears in all cultures at all times. The secondary literature on it is huge. In a companion unit to this exchange, I want to reiterate my theory of the Trickster. As far as I know, it is unique in the genre of cultural anthropology. To recap:
I claim that native cultures in which the members do not reach a certain threshold of self-reflective awareness will mistake the operations of the mind, the phenomena of rigpa in action, for a “tricky” external entity. Manas is Tattva 16 in the Parinama. This is the hard, clear lens of the camera in the front-end assembly. It is the source of the “clear light” of Tibetan Buddhism. Manas is a default factory installation of the human animal. It works the same for everyone but in those cases where genetic conditions favor the emergence of critical, self-reflective awareness, basic intelligence (cit) evolves into intellect (citta). Intellect is innately disposed to reduce and dismiss the anomalous and aberrant activities of the paranormal and supernatural — the territory of the Trickster. Natives — savages who cannot think rationally, according to Raglan — do not develop even a marginal level of the capacity for critical thinking. Consequently, they perceive the operations of Manas as the antics of the Trickster.
Unattended by observations of its own activity and unguided by critical thinking, Rigpa manifests in the bizarre behavior of the Trickster. This behavior is by twists and turns weird, unreasonable, comical, taunting, evasive, prankish, obscene, but never sinister, never evil — except in one instance where the influence comes from outside the biosphere.
Rigpa, what directs your attention to the productions of your mind, pranks the non-observing mind. When you direct your attention to the way your attention works, you learn to be para-aware, paraware. Natives with no intellectual culture and neither the disposition nor the need to develop critical thinking are not paraware. Hence, the omnipresence of the Trickster in world-wide indigenous cultures.
“When the supernatural and irrational are banished from consciousness, they are not destroyed, rather, they become exceedingly dangerous.”
– George Hansen, The Trickster and the Paranormal (Audio Commentary Recorded January 21, 2017 in Gaucin)
I am previewing this topic here to remind myself to complete it. I place my theory of the Trickster in the top of rank of instructions of applied noetics.
Tuesday 29th July 2025: The landing page for 17 The Terma and the Terton has been updated with a new unit published:
To approach the ER, or what I am proposing to name Eternal Concurrence, it is helpful to picture a passage through three gates: The gate of the dwarf, the gate of the riddle, and the gate of the meta-riddle, The Unattained.
At the gate of the dwarf, you face the test of a YES or NO question, Would you be willing to live every moment of your life (unchanged?) over and over again forever? At the second gate, you contemplate the riddle of linear time. At the third gate, you go beyond the riddle into the meta-riddle, the Mystery of the Unattained. That is where I intend to go in the next unit in the block, The Most Beautiful Truth.
Sunday 27th July 2025:
Currently, we are at Day 4 of the Bhairavi shift. The Terma came in the Bhairavi shift of 2008. August 8 this year will be the 17th anniversary of the Terma.

CTC Lesson 6: Mythopoesis and Individuation
Saturday July 5th 2025: Here is a pretty good educational vid LINK for astrophysics. It ends at 16 minutes before another spurious topic is raised. Take it as a footnote on the GNE. The focus is on inertial frames in space, but what about inertial frames in time? Before going to that question, consider these issues in the vid:
- Fiction: There is no supermassive Black Hole at the galactic center in the line from Earth to Sagittarius 27. Black Holes do not exist in the material cosmos. They are a mathematical fiction invented to explain the data derived from instruments believed to detect the “synchrotronic radiation” of quasars, especially in the Crab Nebula.
- Error: The gravity of the galactic disk/limb is not the determining factor of how the Sun moves through the arm. rather, I contest it is the interplay between preponderant electric plasma field in the limb with preponderant magnetic forces in extra-galactic space.
- Dark matter has been totally debunked, as you know. Dumb waste of time.
- Cosmic background radiation is a hoax. Penzias and Wilson who claimed in 1964 to detect it were actually reading something like a short-circuit vibration in their sky-scanning equipment (radio telescope). Compare this to an artefact in a Photoshop rendering of a photograph. To suppose that the artefact actually occurs in the external scene that has been photographed is absurd.
- Cosmic background radiation is taken for evidence of the Big Bang, another astrophysical fantasy item. There was no Big Bang. There is no time when the Universe has not existed and no time when it will cease to exist. First principle of Mayavada Vedanta: “Matter and consciousness are coeval and co-eternal.” Matter and consciousness are co-emergent. There is no moment when they arise or stand independently of each other, and no moment before they came to exist.
The Big Bang fantasy raises the issue of cosmic time. It is impossible to make sense of the theoretical commentary in this vid, which is all about motion in inertial frames of space, if we leave out inertial frames of time. The mere conception of inertial frames of time stands beyond the scope of conventional physics, but it is inherent to the Parinama. I have proposed that the 36 Tattva model of cosmic projection can be imaginatively framed in ten dimensions of time. The 10th is Eternity, the ultimate inertial frame! Simple enough? Nothing moves in Eternity, either temporally or spatially. Upon Eternity stand the nine inter-nesting fractal dimensions of time, including linear time in the 4th dimension were we exist. Human-limited, cognitively based perception can go at most across the boundary of the 5th dimension and peek toward the 6th.
The 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th dimensions of Time are inaccessible to the human animal. These are also inertial frames, internested in a way that the duration of time intervals in each one can operate as if independent to the other, although it is not. In the illusion of linear time, you experience limited durations within, say, an hour. For instance, imagine that in the duration of one hour from 3 PM to 5 PM, each minute of duration is independent of the total hour. Reflect on that for a moment and you will see that it makes sense. You can experience what happens in any minute of an hour as if it is independent of the total duration of the hour. But you cannot remove the minute from the linear duration of the hour due to the way it is nested in that frame. Fascinating, eh?
Our unique subjective experience of linear time in the 4th dimension is nested in the “higher” 5th dimension of Dreamtime. Better said, the deeper dimension. You routinely phase into 5D when you observe how the passing moment of external reality, measured by the clock, contrasts to the time as you sense it in fantasy, musing, and memory. Time is subjectively different when driving a car from the duration of memory or reverie you experience inwardly while driving. You cannot measure the duration of a memory as you can a real event. Likewise for actions that unfold in a dream.
5D time (the duration of Dreamtime) is nested in the deeper dimension of 6D time which can be called inverse time. In that dimension, every moment runs concurrently with another specific moment and you live in both simultaneously. Contemplation of the “Eternal Return” can tease your mind toward the boundary of 6D time but you can never reach it. Walter Russell’s report on his visionary experience suggests that he ventured very close to the boundary between 5D and 6D time.
Duration, in French la durée, is an essential and trustworthy concept of real material physics introduced by Henri Poincaré who also gave close attention to the three-body problem.
Welcome Message for Nemeta 3.0
Summer Solstice 2025
First of all, thank you for your patience and continuing support. The revamping, editing, and reorganization of Nemeta has been ongoing since November 2024. It’s been a long haul and there are still some loose ends, anomalies, and IT glitches to correct. But all in all I am pleased with the new look, elimination of bells and whistles, and improved access to Courses and unit-pages. Some material is still on private for final reworking.
The first impression I had when 3.0 went online was how different the “curriculum panel” (C-panel) looks. When I scanned the titles I wondered in some instances if I had seen those units before — overlooking that I had written them in the first place! The new layout actually refreshed my attention to the material. Also, to my surprise I saw that each unit in a course carries the new C-panel at the bottom. This was a brilliant innovation coming from the resident tech wizard, Lord Michael in Mexico. So, for instance, if I look at a unit in the commentaries on the Hag Hammadi Codices, I find at the bottom a unit-for-unit link to the other material in that course. I don’t have to return to the course landing page to use the C-panel. Splendid improvement among others.
Previously, The Menhir often carried the special feature of Celestial Mantique where I would describe current celestial events and call the shifts. These entries were indicated by the plaque:
Going forward, these entries will appear in the block Celestial Mantique in 11 Skywatching, not here on this free-access page. In the first unit in that block (in preparation), titled CM June 2025, you will find the commentary below — a duplication in this one instance. Hereafter, those units will appear in that block, exclusively for faculty members, and they will be titled for each month. When there is new content in the unit, I will announce it here and provide a direct link for it.
CELESTIAL MANTIQUE
CM June 2025
Backtracking for a moment, I noted that the kick-off of the last shift around the 28th of May was signalled by the sunset crescent in the horns of the Bull, or just beyond, in the Milky Way. It was difficult to call this shift, or not immediately obvious, and so I was tempted to call it unassigned. It could have been Bhudevi-Tara again, or Idris, with the latter with an undertone of the former. You know how it goes with close boundaries in the observation. I myself could not get a clear reading on the shift. Perhaps my celestial bandwidth has been exhausted lately due to working on the revision of Nemeta and the new platform, Celestics.org.
Coming ahead to the current shift, we have the new moon @ 96 at the feet of the Twins on June 25th at around 11 AM. Due to it being early in the last day, it was visible on the next day, June 26 from here in northern Spain.
It was a very thin crescent sitting right at the head stars of the Twins which mark the upper arm or prong of the Celestial Anchor. Definitely, the shift goes to Idris but what are we to make of the exact alignment to the Anchor as well?
On that question, Ceridwen pointed me to the meticulous catalogue work of Dolma going back to DWW50 The Unassigned Shift in 2022 when I noted a similar occurrence.
Excerpt from JLL DWW 50 “The Unassigned Shift”
Here in Galicia, northern Spain, the first sight of the sunset crescent would have been possible following the new moon at 3 h on Wednesday the 29th: that is, on Thursday evening around 8 PM at separation of 18 degrees or so, but conditions did not permit sighting. Technically, the shift would go to Idris a second time: moon at the head of the Twins.
However, the moon quickly slid into the space between Twins and Crab, formerly the Lesser Void, now associated with the Celestial Anchor, an area which has no Dakini correlation. Viewers to the west in the US would have seen it somewhat later sliding into the Crab, implying Tantra Mother.
I am unable to detect any frequency or thematic cue for this shift so far. Perhaps by the first quarter on the 7th July something will come into definition. Until then I am calling it the unassigned shift…….
The current event is obviously not unassigned, but again, how does the alignment to the Celestial Anchor play into it? I can’t say at the moment. I am reticent to attribute anything specific to this anomaly. I would prefer to err on the side of caution than suggest a theme or trope to characterize the omen.
For the record, the longitude for the Anchor is 115 – 120, 25 – 30 Cancer. Within this span of five degrees 117 is central and this is the exact longitude of Procyon in Canis Minor, the tip of the Anchor. Monoceros, the Unicorn, sits right below Canis Minor in the Milky Way with Sirius and Mirzam at the prong of the lower arm. Consistent with the FGS, Monoceros becomes the Stork and its central star, delta, stands at 110 aligned to the head-star of Castor, the upper Twin. ECL 110 or 20 Cancer identifies the nest of the Stork where the plasmic plume eruption of Sophia’s plunge terminated in the third galactic arm. In short, the location of the solar system.
You might wonder, how, after so many eons, can the solar system still be in the same place where the plume terminated and Sophia landed? This is due to two factors. First, the galactic limb as a whole is turning like a pinwheel and doing so, it carries the SS with it in a kind of holding pattern, like a plane in delay circling an airport before it lands.
Second, what we see in the sky as signatures of the constellations are immense configurations spread on a scale that far exceeds human perception. The scale of the constellation patterns is exponentially higher than the scale of local, terrestrial space. Not merely to the power of 10, but to 1000s. The difference in scale produces the effect of freezing the optics of the higher-magnitude display. We do not see the movements of its composite stars, nor our movement relative to them within the galactic arm, due to the display being revealed on that immense scale of magnitude relative to the scale of human perception.
§ That is a preview of the first unit in the block on Celestial Mantique in Skywatching. More material for the remainder of this month and coming months, each with its own unit, can be found there.
Some courses are on a private setting whilst we edit the landing pages.
