In the teachings of Malachem, there are divisions that the 3 Kingdoms of the Systema Natrurae can be found. These divisions are characterized as Life, Self, World and Realm. There are 2 aspects to Life; Your Life and Your Magickal Life. There are 3 aspects of the Self; Middle Self, Lower Self and Higher Self. There are 4 aspects of the World; Middle World, Dark World, Light World and the Spirit World. Finally there are 5 aspects of the Realm; Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Astral Realms.
1st – The Existence of Life
Life can be described as "a corresponding state, existence, or principle of existence conceived of as belonging to the soul" i.e. eternal life or "the period between birth and death". These descriptions are the key to understanding the 2 aspects of the Malachem teachings. Your Life is the time between your birth and death, but it is what you make of it that matters. The difference between Your Life and Your Magickal Life is that your Soul has evolved through The 3 Great Gates:
1. The Gate of Ignorance – Identification with the Material word
2. The Gate of Learning – A search for the knowledge of the Self or Soul
3. The Gate of Wisdom – Expansion of consciousness, and identification with the Bornless Self.
2nd – The Existence of Self
Self can be described as "a person or thing referred to with respect to complete individuality" i.e. one's own self or "a person's nature, character, etc." i.e. his better self. These descriptions are the key to understanding the 3 aspects of the Malachem teachings. The Conscious Self is your person in your physical body, your Ego. There are also female and male characteristics that make up your Ego. The Lower Self is the instinctual part of you that resides in the most basic animalistic urges. It has the adaptability to be a part of all characteristics and is the connective force that links all 3 aspects of the Self. The higher self is the Bornless part of you that is outside of space and time. It is that part that contains the pattern to Life and its purpose. To integrate your three selves into one you must evolve through The 5 Stages of The Soul:
1. The Infant Soul – Experiencing morality and environmental awareness
2. The Child Soul – Experiencing rules, punishment and social awareness
3. The Young Soul – Experiencing self-advancement, personal achievement and free will
4. The Mature Soul – Experiencing relationships, empathy and self-awareness
5. The Old Soul – Experiencing autonomy, wisdom and spiritual awareness
3rd – The Existence of World
World can be described as "a particular class of people (beings), with common interests, aims, etc." i.e. the fashionable world or "the class of persons (beings) devoted to the affairs, interests, or pursuits of this life" i.e. the world worships success. These descriptions are the key to understanding the 4 aspects of the Malachem teachings. The Middle World, known as the Great Between, is the world that embodies everything physical; of form and substance, and is ruled by scientific laws, cycles and seasons. The Dark World, known as the Great Below, is where patterns form and take shape to grow into the Middle World. It contains trials and testing of healing and renewal. The Light World, known as the Great Above, contains ideas and cosmic perspectives beyond space and time. The Spirit World, known as the Over Watch, is pure energy and contains the embodiment of True Will. To know the all the Worlds is to know The 3 Visions Emanating:
1. The Spear – The forces of Will and Power
2. The Flowering Branch – The forces of Love and Trust
3. The Horned Serpent – The forces of Wisdom and Cunning
4th – The Existence of Realms
Realm can be described as "a royal domain; kingdom" i.e. the realm of England or "the region, sphere, or domain within which anything occurs, prevails, or dominates" i.e. the realm of dreams. These descriptions are the key to understanding the 5 aspects of the Malachem teachings. The realm of Earth is one of manifestation, physicality and structure. It rules how we interpret the world around us. The realm of Water is one of fluidity, shape and emotions. It rules the relationship we have with others around us. The realm of Air is one of connection, communication and thought. It rules the relationship with which we speak and listen. The realm of Fire is one of energy transformation and passion. It rules the relationship between creativity and excitement. The realm of the Astral is one of energetic foundations and formation. It rules the relationship between dreams and visions. To know all the Realms is to know the Arrow of Time:
1. Entropy – With time, all things invariably break down
2. Evolution – From chaos comes order
