The Star of Astarte and the Mer Ka Ba Meditation

updated by: High Priest Zevios Metathronos

Apollo and Thoth guided the revision of this meditation, which was originally based on the New Age "Mer Ka Ba meditation." Further revisions were received from Apollo in March 2005. There are many New Age authors who write about and teach the Mer Ka Ba. The New Age version is based upon a hexagram. The hexagram version was promoted through channeled sources, but what the hexagram actually does is establish a geometric energy field that corresponds to Saturn (the lower octave of Saturn's energy: limitation, restriction, time).

The current system of time, based on the numbers 3 and 6, is out of sync with the natural vibrations of the earth and the universe, which are naturally 13 and 20 (the 13 lunar months). The hexagram meditation locks practitioners into this artificial time frequency. The corrected meditation given on this website uses a different geometry entirely.

Star of Goddess Isis/Astarte

The meditation given on this site is based on the eight-pointed Star of Isis (Astarte/Aphrodite in the Greek tradition). "Ashta" in Sanskrit (one of the most ancient and spiritual languages) means "8." The correct position for the Star of Isis is rotated at 22 degrees. In its upright position, shown at left, it is known as the "Sigil of the Beast 666." 1

The Silver Star of Isis (turned at 22 degrees) is said to have been worn by the Knights Templar on a red sash. The numbers carry deep significance: the number of Isis (Astarte) is 8 and the number of the pentagram is 5. 8 + 5 = 13. Enki's number is 40; another combination is 5 x 8 = 40. 13 is based upon the thirteen Lunar Months (the natural year) and the eight phases of the moon. It is also based upon the Sacred Year.

Star of Ishtar

Her Babylonian symbol is known as the "Star Disc of Ishtar." What this meditation can do is take your energy field to a much higher vibration. The geometry of energy has powerful effects on the soul.

Once this meditation has begun, it should be continued every day until the spinning fields are permanent. You will know they are permanent when you can feel the pulsating sensation any time you focus your attention on them. Once they are permanent, you will no longer need to perform the meditation every single day.

The Sacred Geometry

The eight-pointed star is very ancient and based upon the octahedron. The octahedron is an extremely important aspect of nature and is one of the primary archetypes of creation for all life. It is based on 13 circles whose centers connect. It is also the basis of important informational systems in the universe. Within it are found all five of the Platonic Solids, the "building blocks" of creation.

The eight-pointed star is also the symbol for the "Shambhala initiation": the initiation of advanced Buddhist monks into the Kalachakra Tradition. This tradition preceded what most people know as Buddhism by thousands of years and is based upon the Tibetan "Bon" religion, which was transmitted to the Tibetan Priesthood from Marduk/Amon Ra. Unlike the pacifistic, self-sacrificing contemporary Buddhist religion, the original Bon religion was a warrior religion where disciples were pushed to exceed limitations and become as the Gods. 2

"Once the candidate was led through the seven gates and received the seven initiations [opening of the seven chakras], it was possible for them to be received in the court of Shambhala." 3

Practical Summary

The Mer Ka Ba meditation on this site uses the eight-pointed star (Star of Astarte/Isis), NOT the hexagram that most New Age sources teach. The difference matters. The hexagram locks you into Saturnian limitation energy. The eight-pointed star opens a geometric field aligned with natural cosmic cycles (13 lunar months, 8 moon phases).

Practice daily without interruption until the spinning fields become permanent. This is felt as a constant, gentle pulsation around the body that you can tune into at will. Once established, maintenance is occasional rather than daily.

The octahedron contains all five Platonic Solids. This means the Mer Ka Ba meditation, properly done, activates the full geometric spectrum of the soul's architecture. It is one of the most comprehensive energy workings available.
