Top Ten Reasons Sauron’s Ring of Power is Not the Magician’s Quintessence
of Wisdom
10. Sauron
failed to include in the ring of power the magic of the tree Ents, the eagles, the bears, and other assorted creatures
in the Trilogy of the Lord of the Rings.
Bardon magicians are all shamans freely
transferring their consciousness into any animal, plant, or mineral. Shamanism reduces side effects of working
with rings of power and provides back up when ring magic is off line.
9. Sauron
did not wrestle with a Balrog as did Gandalf when
Gandalf (who had Narya the ring of fire) fell into
the pit in the Mines of Moria. Sauron avoided
wrestling with Balrogs because in the
Later Gandalf uses the ring of fire to blind
the Ring wraiths flying over the battlefield.
This is because Sauron forgot to issue sun
glasses to ihs Ring wraiths
as special protection as required when fighting fire wizards during the day
light hours.
Bardon magicians,
of course, do not usually use fire rings or wrestle Balrogs.
They work directly with salamanders like Orudu who
oversee the eruption of all major volcanoes and super volcanoes on earth.
8. Unlike the Sith
Lord Palpatine, Sauron did
not have mastery over the electrical fluid and so could not shoot it out of his
fingers to demonstrate to newbies and wanty be magicians that magic is real. Bardon magicians
learn about the electrical fluid early on and also in practicing the cosmic
letters B and S.
7. Comparative studies
indicate that mithril vests of the dwarves of Middle Earth remain more advanced
than the modern bullet proof vests made of Kevlar.
Still, the seven rings given to the dwarves
by Sauron did not embody fundamental principles of
internal alchemy and nature magic mastered by such gnomes as Muscar and Mentifil. Any Bardon magician
of course knows these gnomes/dwarves as well as he knows his best friends.
6. Sauron
did not incorporate the three Silmarils into the ring
of power. The Silmarils
were created by Fëanor, admittedly the greatest of
the Noldor. Their worth “was close to infinite, even
to the Valar, as they were unique and irreplaceable.”
The Silmarils
captured the light of two Trees, silver Telperion and
golden Laurelin shedding light comparable to the
light of the moon and sun. This light provided the world with order, balance,
and direction uniting the heaven and the earth.
Even if Sauron had
the Silmarils, only Fëanor understood their design. Put simply, Sauron neither knew spheric magic nor kabbalaah and so could not have incorporated the Silmarils into the ring of power.
By contrast, every Bardon
student knows that the original unmanifest light is
embodied in the cosmic letter SH; and that the manifestation of that light in
creation is in the cosmic letter K. And furthermore that the
lunar light is embodied in the cosmic letter
5. As
you recall:
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in
their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to
die,
Celebrimbor created the three elven
rings--Narya, the ring of fire ended up with Gandalff; nenya, the ring of water was given to Galadriel of Lothlórien;
and Vilya, the ring of air was given to Elrond the
Lord of Riendell.
Although the three rings related to the
elements of air, the elves in Tolkien are actually land dwelling beings and so
do not embody the genuine knowledge of the sylphs (air), mermaids (water) or
salamanders (gnomes).
Like all others writers of mythology--Homer,
Virgil, Ovid, Dante, Milton, Shakespeare, and Vyasa’s
Mahabarata, Tolkien knew almost nothing at all about
mermaids. Though Galadriel only knew basic water magic for
skrying the future and did not even possess the tone
magic of the mermaids not to mention the magnetic fluid.
Bardon magicians
are required to know the realm of mermaids so well that it is like a second
home.
4. Sauron’s
ring of power slows down the aging process. It does not give new life. Your basic Bardon
magician, having practiced with the cosmic letters L, C, and OE is already in
the process of producing the philosopher’s stone within his own body. (Although Lord Voldemort
in Rowling’s Harry Potter gained access to the philosopher’s stone, the stone
was considered to dangerous to have around as long as Voldemort
was on the loose.
3. In the movie, The Return
of the King, Sauron is seen as a huge red blood shot
eye suspended between two towers. This third eye overstimulation results from
failing to follow the training manual in kundalini
yoga. In Kundalini for Dummies it is clear that
practitioners of kundalini take the primal energy all
the way to the crown chakra and unite it with Shiva or cosmic oneness rather
than getting stuck in the third eye. (see cosmic
letters E and U)
Of course, part of Sauron’s
problem was that he had one raging, continuous headache due in part to the fact
that Middle Earth had not yet invented aspirin and tylenol.
2. There is no magical
dancing in the Lord of the Rings. Unlike
Tolkien, other modern writers like W. B. Yeats interacted with fairy. Yeats was a member of the Order of the Bards,
Ovates, and Druids according their archives.
It is extremely hard to imagine how anyone
writing about fairy could ignore the marvelous magical songs and dances that
occur in fairy realms. Their absence
remains a great puzzle plaguing all scholars of fairy tales.
Your Bardon
magician will of course be able to show you a few dance steps of the fairies or
even sing to you one or two of their songs upon request.
1. The number one reason Sauron’s Ring of Power is not the same as the Bardon magician’s quintessence of wisdom is that Sauron never made it out to the sphere of Saturn. This is
understandable because when Saturn offered the magicians of Atlantis (Númenóreans in Tolkiein) a throne
of Saturn to sit on none of them applied for the job. Thus Atlantis (Númenor)
sank beneath the waves.
Your Bardon
magician will of course avail himself of the opportunity to visit Saturn. The
wisdom there reconciles even the differences between the Jedi and Sith Lords; for in Saturn, both negative spirits and
positive are used to lead human beings to attain perfect, complete, and
absolute enlightenment.
At this point the magician is free to move
onto the sphere of Uranus where all sorts of magial
rings Sauron and Tolkien could never imagine are
waiting to be shared with the world.
