It is a decade or more since I had contact with AUM. Perhaps they would surprise me.
As for Soc Ros being Christian, perhaps it is up to the individual brother what might constitute Christianity

It is my understanding that Christ is a position (?) rather than Jesus. Jesus become Christed or The Christ. Stepped up a peg or three.
Can we assume that the Christening oils are to be of some assistance in attaining that status?

Only mentioned AUM because I had a friend that was studying with them. She has since moved interstate. She was very impressed with them.

"Christ is the English term for the Greek Χριστός (Khristós) meaning "the anointed one".[1] It is a translation of the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (Māšîaḥ), usually transliterated into English as Messiah. " Messiah seems to come from the Egyptian messeh - crocodile. Apparently the kings and pharaohs were annointed with the fat of the sacred crocodile. I suspect that the fat was a symbolic representation of a ritual technology that was even then long lost. The true initiate is self-made (through building the light body) and ritual is used to consolidate and stabilise what the candidate has already achieved.

As I understand it the true chrism oil is sometimes referred to as the Dew and is an actual physical result of when enlightenment is attained while in the body. The body tranmutes something else (?) into a dew like oil. This chrism oil, or dew, does something to the brain resulting in cosmic consciousness.

That sounds like a hidden mystery of nature

* you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over.
It is like fine oil upon the head * that runs down upon the beard, Upon the beard of Aaron, * and runs down upon the collar of his robe. It is like the dew of Hermon * that falls upon the hills of Zion.
…and our Lord Jesus was himself anointed with the Holy Spirit at his Baptism as the Christ

Here we one substance transmuted into another and collected in a Grail cup ?

Crocodile oil was assoc with virility I believe, and it is the sexual energy that is related to this raising of the energy via the spine. One can only assume that herein might lie the reason that holy folk admonish their followers to be chaste.

I expect that crocodile fat was associated with the Makara. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makara_%28Hindu_mythology%29I saw one last year in Tasmania. It came up from the sea and through the house I was in. It hung around for a few days. It did not manifest in the dense physical but took the general form of a crocodile as far as I could see

So it was an energy stucture I am assuming. Did it recognise your presence, ie intelligent as we would describe intelligent? Do you think you attracted it in some way? Like energies? I get cats, big and small and you get monsters.. cats I can deal with ... Anyone else here attracting animal energies?

Do you think you attracted it in some way? ...... Anyone else here attracting animal energies? The Makara related to me and the friend whose house it was. There were other mythical entities that showed an interest in that place including Ceres Recently I attracted a stray black cat that occasionally is used by another entity. It is a rather nice cat

Anyone else here attracting animal energies? Cats big time, an very occasionally snakes. And if you include all forms of life - Trees. (Dogs also appear to be getting friendlier towards me).

I'm pretty sure trees don't follow you around, Stewie. Do you mean you are attracted to them?

Years ago at midnight on New Year's Eve I was out on a path in woods in Scotland and I came to a pair of trees that guarded the path. They formed an energy field across the path to clear the auras of people passing between.
Anyway I knew the one on the left fairly well - it called itself Erwin - and went and stood next to it. There was a chilly wind and the tree suggested I stand closer and it would keep the wind off me. So I did and it did - although not by being upwind of me. And it said how good it was that it had just had rain and was then having star light. It said that both rain and star light provided nourishment for it. It seemed that the star light contained the patterns for its unfoldment.
Hence perhaps the importance of stars in Masonry

(And for those who think that this is a barmy question, if you can connect over the emotional energetic bridge, then spacial location is not necessarily relevant. There is scientific research to this effect, at least from animals to human [albeit funded by animal rights charities eg ciwft])

My interactions with Erwin were only when I was on the path. When I put my attention to him now he waves his branches. I have only seen him function in respect to the hill but he may have other connections I have not seen
