Topaz gives clarity, strength and peace, it connects you with your inner core, it straightens your back and gives you will power to perform when things are overwhelming or chaotic with too many tasks or if you are a victim of unexpected attacks, confrontations or terror.

It is a good gemstone to connect with in the midst of terror and calamities, when you face struggles that seems overpowering, when things seems to fall apart or you are attacked by destructive forces, or simply situations that needs clarity, strength and focus.

It could be abuse, being bullied or terror attacks. It could be an accident, sudden loss, or panic that something terrible is about to happen. Topaz gives you the inner strength to stay vigilant, strong, centred, focused, clear with good borders and at peace. Topaz makes you act like an example, with virtue nobility and mastery.

Overview and communication
Many of the gemstones have shown us how they come with an inner state of peace and clarity. Topaz also has this calmness. It connects you with a higher perspective so you can see above chaos and stay peaceful, vigilant and determined during attacks. This makes it a good stone when you need to confront, take part in a debate, are in a power struggle with someone or are in a conflict were you need to express something with clarity, peace and determination.

Borders and connections
Topaz gives you strong borders, but can also pull apart borders that from a higher perspective limits you or hold you back. It can also open borders that have made a distance between you and others.

It has been used to give stability, fidelity and ever lasting love in relationships, but also to resolve problems with the closest family and friends.
It can reconnect you with old friends, not necessarily to continue a connection but it will clarify the relation, and leave it in a peaceful state.

Topaz makes you realize that certain borders might be necessary on a lower level even if you open the borders on a higher level. It can also help you terminate a relationship when it is destructive for your further development, leaving it in a determined, clear and peaceful state.

When borders or structures prevent the establishment of a higher purpose, of the real you to be, Topaz will help you establish new structures, even if the consequence will be tearing down something to give place to the new.

To be just is to conduct your life in the right way, manifests justice and to what is right. This creates a correct structure that makes borders towards the unjust or incorrect. Conducting you life in accordance with a higher purpose, will break borders that holds things back, it might threaten structures and persons that then might attack you. Topaz helps you fight the right battles with peaceful determination.

There is a justice in Topaz, that comes forward as a good balance between right or wrong, meant to be or meant to pas, between the constructive or destructive, the attack and protective border, that is resolved in a harmoniously peaceful way.
It takes away the delusion that you are being attacked by evil, terror, destruction or violence, and gives you peace in mind and the perspective that you might even be the strong one, servant of a higher purpose, the one moving barriers, tearing away borders long meant to go.

This strength and power can be scary for many. Topaz helps you to conduct it in a centred, considerate, good and gentle way.

Clarity and emerging
It gives a clarification or purification in the relationship as if the higher more spiritual reality taking hold on you and lifting you up or bringing things into clarity.

Things that are under the surface, in the unconscious or are hidden from you will surface and appear as you become aware of them with Topaz. It is as much you broadening your horizon, your perception, putting light on things that have been hidden in the sub- or unconscious.

It you feel things are hidden from you, Topaz will help things come forward into the light.

 

Physical aspects

Heart
Feeling blocked or closed or open and connected
Feeling centred in the heart

Stomach
Unease, restless

Abdomen
Sore, sides
As if something radiates out of the belly

Back
Weak – strong
The Sacrum or lowest part of the back gets stronger, pulled forwards, as when the abdominals contract (rectus abdominus) and you push the genitals forward. So it will help for the opposite where your lumbar back is weak and you have sway back.

Extremities
Icy cold feet

 

Chemistry
Chemical composition: AI2 (SiO4)(F, OH)2 aluminum hydroxyl fluoro.
The Fluor element could be behind the quality of borders and hardness on one side and invation and breaking old structures on the other side. Experients with Flour containing remedies in homeopathy have this qualities in common.

Name
Topaz comes from Sanskrit “tapas”, meaning “fire”, “austerity” or “discipline”. It comes from the root “Tap” which translates “to burn”. It can be understood as “passion”, “fiery discipline”, “fiery courage” burning away obstructions and impurities on all levels, opening the ground for mastery.
Pliny thought its origins was from, the location where it was found together with other gems in Egyptian times, Topazos Islands.

Prayer to Archangel Michael
One of the participants quoted this appropriate prayer;
Oh Michael, with all my heart I surrender to your protection, to your leadership, so this day may be an image of your will of creating order into destiny (Free translation)

The daily meditation from Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov, Thursday November 26 , 2015
The daily meditation from Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov the same day as wwe performed the Topaz holonistic exploration fitted perfectly with the theme of Topaz:

« Why do so many remarkable people arouse such terrible enmities? Because the dark forces they have expelled from their inner world return to attack them, but from the outside, through those who find their qualities, virtues and strength of character upsetting and disturbing. People who lead an ordinary life, on the other hand, do not upset or disturb anyone, and everyone is happy with them.

It is not easy to confront the outer enemies, but they are less dangerous than the inner ones. With the outer enemies, you have to use kindness, gentleness and patience, whereas with the inner enemies, you require firmness, authority and severity. Unfortunately, most people tend to do the opposite instead: they are patient and lenient towards their inner enemies, so keeping them alive, but they are extremely severe towards their outer enemies, who of course retaliate. So is it surprising if they continue to struggle with inextricable difficulties? » Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Ruby – The 11.th holonistic gemstone exploration – Christmas 2015 – by Andreas N. Bjørndal

4 Comments

We explored Ruby just before Christmas 2015 – a perfect timing!

Skjermbilde 2015-12-17 kl. 13.11.43

Ruby and fire
Synchronicity can be a wonderful experience, an experience of coherence. The coherence of Ruby and Christmas became clear to us as we performed the holonistic experience of Ruby on 17 of December 2015.

Ruby took us to a warm cosy place as we approached the darkest night and days of the winter. It made us think of the state of the foetus lying in the warm belly completely united with the mother, or a state like sitting in a small cosy cabin in the middle of the ice cold snow laid mountains in the dark winter night while enjoying the warm heat from the fire place and the warm feelings of closeness to the loved ones or even a deep unconditional love to the whole human kind.

Sitting there looking at the fire place, you see the black or charcoal grey surface of the wood logs hiding the radiating heat and warmth that connects all the logs and warms up the whole room and the whole cabin. As you see beyond the black grey surface you realize that the heat on a deep level has the same source, it was already connected. Let us explore.

The source of fire
The heat and light from the wood logs is the sun returning and rejoicing in its regained freedom after being structured into the wood, the spirits from the sun penetrate every aspect of the wood. Science reduces this magic process to photosynthesis, but it is more than just chemistry. What to us seems fragmented, is deeply connected, it is the same spirit coming forward with different aspects. Even all the suns (e.g. stars) radiate from separate spots. Despite the enormous distance between them the radiate the same creative force, the force that started in the Big Bang. All stars are deeply connected, and all the heat from the fire place is the same, manifesting through each log of wood.

It is this deep connection that we do not see, but we can resonate, that we start to realize as a direct experience under the influence of Ruby. You get reconnected yourself with the source of life and love and light.

Ruby warms up our heart and soul and reminds us of the affection and love we have to the closest circles, or family and friends, but it goes deeper and deeper and carries the gift of uniting with all human kind, all living beings and the whole universe.

Ruby is the perfect gemstone for Christmas, with its red colour and the focus and deep connection to the beloved friends and family as well as the love, care and benevolence for everyone.

Polarity
As we aim to understand Ruby in a holonistic way the core can often be easiest understood as a polarity. In Ruby the polarity is between being frozen out into the cold or completely accepted and warmly included as your closest family.

This split also tells us that Ruby takes away the illusion of being excluded, separated, being out in the cold, being dead, or isolated. It does this by connecting us to what is behind, what was before and what is beneath.

Aker – he who is beneath
In isolation or the cold of the winter, in the darkest of nights Ruby reconnects you with the heat that created us all. The heat that still is there in the sun, in the centre of the earth as well as in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is the source of the red blood that gives us life and connects all the cells in our body. Beneath all that is manifested there is the same source of fire, of life and heat. This is the warmth of love that connects us all, the creative fire of the spirit.

This internal persistent warmth reconnects you with the inner world, the world of dreams and of spirit. It reconnects you with the fire of the spirit, and also gives you strong vivid dreams. What seems to be darkness has a hidden fire within that Ruby helps you to remember. It could be the night where the treasure of the dreams come forward, it could be the isolation where the deeper connection to human kind is revealed, it could be the darkest nights of the winter where the inner rebirth of the spirit, the true meaning of Christmas is given as a gift.

Ruby has the ability to show you eternal life where death seems present, to give inner warmth when you are alone in the cold, to remember the intimate love for your closest when the daily routine is killing the relation, to focus on forgiveness and generosity rather than obstinate stubbornness, to focus on the importance of being present in the moment when you encounter fellow humans instead of keeping running and already being on the way to the next step.

Ruby reminds you of the deeper things, the more important – the things under the horizon, that which is beneath, behind and before.

Imagine a gently blow on the wood log and the burning fire reappears with its redness and radiating heat and you have a good picture of what Ruby does. It reconnects you with the source and it also helps the true you appear where you might have retracted or hid in the darkness.

This is the time of the year where the year comes to and end and a new year is about to start. The theme of death and rebirth also came forward in our exploration. Christmas is the birth of Christ, as the old years is fading and a new is born.

The ancient roman God Janus, the two faced God has give the name to doorways (januae) and archways (jani) as well as January. In old Rome Janus was invoked as the first of any gods in regular liturgies. He represented the beginning of all cycles (day, month, and year). He was celebrated on January 9, the Agonium.

His tradition probably arrived from Egypt and the God Aker. Aker was the God of the horizon. He was called “He who´s beneath” Akes was represented as two lions facing opposite directions. One lion was representing yesterday (duaj) and the other tomorrow (sefer).

Skjermbilde 2015-12-24 kl. 11.34.30

At the point between the last year and the year to come, at the point where the manifest disappears into the night of the un-manifested to reappear again, we find Aker.

Aker was first depicted as the torso of a recumbent lion with a widely opened mouth. This reminds us of Janus and his association with doorways and archways. Here at this point is the wide open mouth, the gate to the other side. In summer and light all is about the manifested external world, in the dark of the night or the winter we are at the closest to the open mouth, the gate to the other side ”He who´s beneath” as the name Aker signifies.

This is an important key to Ruby but also an aspect of many gemstones, the ability to connect you with a state where there is no past or present, where there is just manifested potential, the potential behind all creation. A state before things are split into before and after, heat and cold or any other polarity, a state where the female and male aspects of every human being are still one. As you re-enter the connection with your own spirit, you also reconnect with your anima or animus, you become aware of the unconscious and the two aspects of day and night unite in you.

Ruby connects you with this state deep beneath where you also reconnect with those that has passed to the other side, it reunites you with the loved ones that has tread out of the time. It puts you in a state where you find peace with old enemies, where you forgive those that has trespassed or done you harm. If you live in a relation where things have become permanently frozen or become blocked between you and your partner, brother or sister, parent or child, neighbour or college or any other person, Ruby reminds you of the warmth that was and helps you blow on the wood log and find back to tender love and care.

Where you are stuck, rigid, blocked or obstinate it makes you again open up, feel the warmth, connection and flow.

In this time of Christmas Ruby remind us all of the gift of reconnection, of opening the gate to the original love that connects us all
