UR is the second Rune of the Sacred Futhork. It brings you in touch with the All-Mother-God principle while FA brought you in touch with the All-Father-God principle. UR represents the creative principles of the causes of space-time, dimensions, and existence. This creative principle reaches into the realms of causes of causes, or threshold to chaos. UR can truly be called the space-less and time-less root of space-time.
Being the roots, UR is the perfect Rune for healing on all levels and planes. This is so because UR allows you to modify any problem at the root of its causes, especially after you have learned to work with Runes on the non-verbal levels.
More about Runes
Before I continue with the specifics of UR, I want to share with you some more thoughts about the Runes of the Sacred Futhork.
Quite often I refer to the Runes as being triggers that will communicate their meanings and effects with you on a non verbal level. These characteristics, of course, represent only one set of aspects of the Runes. In this respect, Runes have an important characteristic. Regardless how much you describe of them, there will always be things that you can still learn from them. Whatever descriptions of Runes you may produce, this description will never be all that Runes are.
Runes are energies of creation that operate from the un-speakable objective realms of creation. They belong to realms that lie beyond the universe that most human beings are used to describe with their words and logic. Runes are truly beyond all known concepts of the universe and beyond all known mappings of the universe. It does not matter how you see Runes at the time when you work with them. You may see them as energies, as triggers of energies, as spiritual entities, as gods as mantras, or as a combination of all of this. Runes will still remain beyond any verbal descriptions that the human mind could produce. Therefore Runic practice and Runic experience reach into realms that are beyond description and beyond words. They are on the un-speakable objective levels of creative reality. For this reason, it is considerably more important to practice Runes than to describe them. With practice you will connect with the creative realms of each Rune.
Every Rune connects with worlds of creation and formation. Therefore you may expect material results that correspond to the meanings of a specific Rune whenever you work with this Rune. Practice with the Runes will teach you soon that the most powerful methods of magic are also the ones that are the simplest ones. In fact, most powerful methods are of such a simplicity that most people cannot comprehend. As a result of this lack of comprehension due to simplicity, many persons tend to practice for decades to acquire skills that they could have mastered within a very short time. Simplicity seems not to be the thing that the average person can accept easily. The general opinion is that, for something to be powerful, it ought to be difficult to master. You should be aware of the fact that the deepest mysteries are often the easiest ones to grasp, but also that these deep mysteries self protect against misuse and profanation.
Healing and UR
Runic practice is a direct route to your Higher Self. It takes this route through the awakening of what some Rune magicians refer to as the Odin consciousness within.
The Rune master strives to achieve in a few lifetimes that for which the masses of human beings on this planet may need thousands of lifetimes. He or she strives to evolve into a higher form of existence. For this pursuit, the creative powers of the Runes are an ideal tool. This is so, because the energy of the Runes brings you in contact with the creative forces of the universe.
At present our planet is on a relatively low stage of its evolution. This low stage is also a fantastic opportunity for those who are willing to work on themselves. Some claim that human beings are again at the brink of collectively failing yet another karmic test at a beginning of a new precessional age. In their opinion, success or failure at this crucial time will determine the general development that our planet is heading to.
For this reason a general healing of the planet as a whole is more needed than ever before. It is everybody's responsibility to contribute to the ultimate success in the tests of our collective planetary karma, precessional age shift or not! To heal is a responsibility that nobody can dismiss lightly!
A true healing means to contribute to a change for the better for the planet as a whole. To cause such a healing of planetary dimensions, activity on the levels of creation is necessary. Moreover, such a healing is the task of a large group of human beings: many of us, not just a few!
When you intend to participate in the healing of our planet, you need to first heal yourself! To do this, you need to re-evaluate your position within the web of life on this planet. Healing yourself also means that you need to strengthen and empower your individual consciousness before you take it upon yourself to help in the collective empowerment. It makes no sense at all to boost the collective consciousness at the expense of a person's individuality and then expect that this person acts responsibly. Centuries old experience has taught us that the way of conditioning people in such a direction of collectivization has produced not much more than mindless zombies. This "time-honored" way of organized religion is hopelessly bankrupt. The "cosmic experience" that such a brainwashed person may reach in a religious setting is worthless at best. In most cases religious experience is utterly unhygienic when seen under the aspect of life energy processes and sex-economy of the living being!
The truly powerful person transcends the polarities of individual consciousness versus collective consciousness into an all encompassing state of being where such artificial division disappears.
Heal yourself to the point that you love yourself first and foremost! Then it is easy to proceed to the universal love that encompasses the being as a whole -- your true ego!
It is unfortunate but true that in no system of organized religion you can find awareness of the tools of the workshop of creation. The leaders of organized religion have not the slightest idea of access to these tools, let alone their proper use and power! True, in organized religion you will find some hint here and there of the necessity of a global healing. Most of these hints, of course, claim also that universal acceptance of the specific dogma of that creed alone can bring about such a global healing. Thousands of doomsday philosophies with elitist undertones evolved from such misunderstanding. The consequence is that one religion crusades against the other and each one of the religions considers all others false. The best way of dealing with this mess is to stay out. Just say NO to religion!
A true healing comes from each individual rather than from some sudden shift of the earth's axis, widespread flooding, being saved by exoterrestrials, and the like! It is the collective effort of individuals that can clean up the debris of negative karma that has accumulated throughout the ages. It is time that we recognize and use the tools of creation for our own benefit. These tools have been entrusted to us from the very roots of time (I say roots of time, not beginning of time! under the aspect of time being viewed - at least - a Gaussian 4-tuple, the question for a "when it all began" becomes utterly childish!) on, so that we are capable of to master our destinies and with it the destiny of our planet. It is amazing how many human beings are not even aware of this gift that they possess.
Read attentively the Song of UR at the end of this lesson so that your understanding of the nature of healing on levels will awaken in you, grow, and expand. Such a new understanding will open up new dimensions for you. You will then become increasingly aware of the extent to which a general healing will take place on this planet. There is truly a lot to be done by every responsible human being.
Practice of UR will have another effect on you: It will lead you to an understanding of the fact that the elimination of the Mother God Principle from human thinking has deprived mankind of the access to the very tools of the workshop of creation. This is a lesson to be learned from many old myths such as Adam and Eve, Lilith, Tiamat, and others.
Practice with UR will expand your understanding until your whole being is imbued with the concept of All Mother God as an equal of All Father God. Then you may perhaps realize that the myth of original sin may have been generated by some male deity of a lower order! Such a deity was well aware that the easiest way to control people is to control and restrict their sexuality.
