“Gnosis, or what some may call Sainthood, Buddhahood or enlightenment. A symbolic ladder that we all must climb if we wish to reach the spiritual heights of the divine in the heavens while we are encased in physical matter here on earth. As we climb, we must purify ourselves, our thoughts, habits and actions, so that we may reach that seventh and final step of our ascent, in order to activate all of our seven senses. Homer described Jacob’s Ladder as Jupiter’s chain reaching from heaven to earth. In Babylonia, Ishtar descended through the seven gates, which led into the depths of the underworld. The ladder of the Mithras led to seven stages of initiation. Hellenistic Jewish philosopher Philo Judaeus, born in Alexandria (d. ca. 50 CE) wrote; “The angels represent souls descending to and ascending from bodies’ “ - Sol Bailey Barker

“We are ancient transhumainists; we have always sought to transcend the boundaries of what it means to be human, from ‘Lion Man’ to body augmentation and flight. 0001 echoes the theory that language evolved out of the communication of tool making several million years ago and from the ancient fire hardened wood spear to stealth drones we have sought to expand the boundaries of technology, together language and technology have evolved.” - Sol Bailey Barker
