Temple: Protocol One

This week, Receivers were drawn by the Eternal Drone to a space on Margaret Street, Birmingham.

Through sacred listening, we are finding a series of instructions for how to use this place, to bring people together and to spread understanding of our principles.

The first protocol tells us to establish the Temple, so we placed sacred materials in the circle for a day to meditate upon them.

When we returned the next day, a spirit totem had appeared, watching over the Temple, and providing an olfactory richness.

We focused on a warm part of the room that it led us to, and that seemed particularly full of the Drone. This seems initially suitable for private relaxation and opening of the Third Ear.

If you find the Receivers Temple of the Sacred Drone, do come in, take some time to open yourself up to the Drone, and let us know how you would like to use the space yourself.

We will be putting up some possibilities that we have already discovered, and of course, as always, let us know how you get on.

Imbolc ritual at BOYD 5

Performance of the Imbolc ritual by Samekhmem at BOYD 5, Bull’s Head, Moseley.

Wearing the ceremonial furs, Samekhmem marked themselves with the sacred sun using oat milk and sage ash, lit the seven candles of purification and set the sand timer next to the Ark of Silence. Channeling the eternal drone at this important time, mid way between the solstice and the vernal equinox, calling upon all of the power of the sun to bring forth the potent energy of the spring brings with it great peril. The resonating power of Imbolc provided a hot, rising, drone power to the ceremony that circled up beyond the control of all who were gathered together. The force of the drone caused great consternation but was a necessary adjunct to the approach of Timewave Zero. Samekhmem continue to transform the dark emanations from Timewave Zero into sonic affirmation of The Eternal Drone.

This coming Thursday, Samekhmem channel The Eternal Drone for you to Receive at BOYD 5 (A Patchwork Of Eclectic Sounds)

Are you a Receiver?

Throughout history, Receivers, like you, have often gathered together to parade around drumming and chanting, getting into a trance state so they can hear The Eternal Drone.

The Eternal Drone is the infinitely slow sound of the universe, born in the Big Bang with space and time, which it binds together. The Eternal Drone is the ground from which all other sound arises.

The band Samekhmem create audio rituals that prepare people to be able to receive The Eternal Drone. Their performances often draw Receivers together, but people with a particularly developed ‘Third Ear’ are sometimes able to have a spontaneous gnosis of The Eternal Drone, and only later seek out others like them.

Instructions

  1. As part of a group, or by yourself, prepare to receive The Eternal Drone.
  2. Draw a circle with a dot at the centre on your forehead.
  3. Perform actions that will allow you to enter a meditative or trance-like state.
  4. Open your Third Ear and listen.
  5. Return to yourself, taking with you whatever you need from the experience.

Please send your video footage of this process, or links to the footage online, in an email to tools.and.principles@gmail.com. This can be from a mobile phone or basic camera, as the intensity and atmosphere of these collective activities are what really counts. Selected footage may be included in future projects
