Heimdal, The Gjallarhorn, The Horn

Resounding And Ragnarok

If one looks at the Torch of Life mandala in a certain way one could
perceive it as hornlike. The Fibonacci sequence provides the
definition of its form as the Universal Vortex. But what has a Horn got
to do with anything you might ask? Very little unless one then
associates it with the myth of the Rainbow Bridge, the nature of
Heimdal the Watcher God and the cyclical prophecy of Ragnarok.

Heimdal, the Nordic white Sword-Ase, is the mighty clarion-blower of

the Horn Resounding (called Gjallarhorn) and the Watcher of the
Gods. He stands eternally - except during periods of quietude in the
world - upon the Rainbow Bridge (called Bifrost) and blows his horn
at Ragnarok.

The Nordic term Ragnarok refers to the end of a world age.

According to Norse myth it is in this time when the forces of light
(pouring forth from the Temple of Heaven – Valhalla) cancel out the
forces of darkness like a cleansing tide in the awesome unification of
opposites. Right after this age ending event the world is reborn as a
new Eden called the Ida plane. It is upon the Ida plane that the
Younger Gods inherit the world! Sounds familiar to "And the meek
shall inherit the Earth"? I think it also sounds similar to the “Passing
through the Mountains of Armageddon”. Consider that this is our
ancient pre-history remembered in myth! This has happened before,
and will happen again if we choose to forget the lessons of our
honoured past!

It has been prophesised for ages past that the period of time we now
occupy is as unique a point as has ever been experienced on this
world. Indeed, we have clearly passed over the brink of the old world
age and now stand upon the Rainbow Bridge that spans the
‘distance’ between the old world and the new world to come.

At this point, the end of our current age, most of us (in our more
technologically advanced planetary culture) feel we do not have
enough time. There is good reason for this. Many sources available
today are talking about the end of history, and the end of time as we
know it. I intuit that this event, zero point, omega threshold is one
with the ever increasing sense of Now. That is that we are
experiencing more Now consciousness in our Now moment, or we
are becoming more collectively present. I also intuit that this is only
going to intensify! Our awareness of time is going radial!

According to the Mayan Long Count this age of our world ends at the
winter solstice of 2012. At the winter solstice a new ‘Sun’ is born, the
new world age. Whether or not this date of 2012 is perfectly accurate
is beside the point, in cosmic terms the last few hundred years are
but a nanosecond. New potentialities of manifestation are made
available as more of our higher collective consciousness becomes
more prominent in everyday existence.

The Torch’s Rainbow Rings can be seen to represent, amongst other

things, the last 16 years of the current 26000-year cycle as our solar
system lines up with the centre of the galactic heart.
As I said above looking into the Torch of Life we can see it as a
‘Horn’. The centre is the 'within', the depths of the Horn Resounding,
source of the soundless resonance of the enlightenment cascade.
The outer edge of the Double Rainbow is the rim of the Horn and the
sound waves are the rings of colour spreading outward like ripples
upon a lake.

It could be said that these 'sound' waves are equivalent to the ripples
of the enlightenment cascade racing round our world awakening
every heart and mind (asleep at the wheel of our Planetary Timeship)
to the resounding truth of our Divine Identity and to our responsibility
to all life!

"When giants bent on envy, lust, greed or hatred of the divine order
attempt to cross the bridge, Heimdal flashes along it to gather his horn
which alone can be heard in all the nine worlds. Blowing on this horn he
alerts the gods, but he also alerts every part of the worlds below, every
aspect of man's lower nature to which the personal mind is attuned.
Thus the god descends along the bridge and awakens the lower
consciousness so that it can rise up and assist in the struggle. He
descends, commences the battle, and then reascends to his post of
watchman. As long as Bifrost's fiery span remains intact and the
Immortal Watcher holds his post, the forces of chaos and dissolution
cannot succeed. Continual vigilance is the order of the day, and
continual harkening to the horn of wisdom's unsullied note. When
periods of quietude and balance have been achieved and a time of
peace prevails, Heimdal may descend along the antaskaranic path to
light up the adequately prepared mind along the way and visit many
places within the complex lower world. But when disturbances arise, he
grasps his horn and, gathering the whole lower quaternary as a
battering-ram, sweeps the menacing giants aside and storms the gate to
that realm which hovers above the Cliff of Heaven and over the head of
each individual human being. Thus, the smaller cycle is brought within
the larger, the fruit of the World Tree made to carry the fiery seed of
Immortality, and man is inspired to participate in divine self-rule." From:
HEIMDAL - Theosophy.org

It is this Divine Self-Rule mentioned above by the Theosophical

Society that we are inevitably achieving. Humanity is becoming
realised as a collective manifestation of Godhead. In my view,
Humanity is the Younger Gods spoken of and the Ida Plane is
Heaven on Earth.
