I hope I may be permitted to have some fun with more predictions for books 6
& 7. I'd like to revise and add to the ones I made in Post 106899.

I got criticised for not explaining how I worked out my percentages of
probability. There's nothing mathematical about it. 99% means hardly any
doubt, 90% means fairly certain, etc. I'm just a gambler!

1. Harry will liberate his emotional I in book 6. 100%

2. Harry will liberate his consciousness I in book seven. 100%

3. Harry will pass through the Gate of Saturn in book seven. 100%

4a. Ron will die but will live again through the alchemical process. 90%

4b. Hermione will die but will live again through the alchemical process 50%

5. Harry will enter the Temple of Venus (the Room with the mysterious force
in the Ministry of Magic). 99%

6. Harry will take Hagrid's place at the end of book 7. 75%

7. Harry will not have to kill Voldemort by a deliberate act. 100%

8. Voldemort will dissipate like an expired Patronus through an act of love
by Harry. 99%

9. Harry and Sirius will be reunited. 100%

10. Snape will die for Harry or the trio. 99%

11. Lupin will die for Harry or the trio. 99%

12. In book 6 or 7 a "counsellor" will teach about "sin, righteousness and
judgement". 90%

13. Dobby will accompany Harry on his final hero's journey. 90%

1. Harry will liberate his emotional I in book 6. We are now 5/7 through the
journey. So far the story has followed EXACTLY the 7 steps of liberation as
symbolised in the Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosycross in the ascent of
the 9 candidates of the seven floors in the Tower of Olympus. In post 55793
in April 2003 I predicted, on this basis, that Harry
would liberate his mental I in book 5. This is exactly what happened.
Voldemort was driven out of Harry's mind by his love for Sirius. Jo has
already stated that in book 6 Harry will need to control his emotions. This
I think is a clue in that direction.

2. Harry will liberate his consciousness I in book seven.

The same reason as for No. 1.

I will just explain what I mean by the threefold I. The mental I is
obviously situated in the head and is the voice of reason that speaks to the
central consciousness. The emotional I is the voice of the heart that speaks
to the central consciousness. The consciousness I is the central
consciousness situated just behind the forehead between the eyebrows. Going
through life we are constantly appealed to by the head and the heart, and
the central consciousness makes the choice of which voice to listen to. Some
people listen more to the voice of the head, others to the voice of the
heart, and others again spend their lives listening to both and living
in inner conflict. When our Voldemort is driven out of our head it means our
head is free from evil and so the voice of reason will be pure and
unselfish. When he is driven from the heart this means no feelings of
selfishness will ever speak to us again. When the consciousness I is
liberated from Voldemort it is set free from all the restrictions of time
and space. It is reborn as an omniscient consciousness linked always to the
great Architect of the Universe. There is no separation between Him and Man,
and this consciousness is a progress from unimaginable glory to ever
intenser, ever more sublime, ever more rapturous, totally selfless glory. In
Buddhism this is called the enlightenment. In Christianity it is the moment
the dove lands on Jesus after his baptism by John. In the Corpus Hermeticum
this is the voice of Pymander speaking to Hermes. The Rosicrucians call it
the Mercury Initiation. In Revelation it's the vision of John.

3. Harry will pass through the Gate of Saturn in book seven.

Before the new consciousness can be born the old one has to "die". This is
not a real death in the sense that there is a gap between the old and the
new consciousness. The old three-dimensional consciousness is swallowed up
by the new, as it were. Death is swallowed up by victory. A candle flame
merges into the sun. The flame has died yet lives on forever in the mighty
radiations of the sun. Harry will pass though the archway with the veil and
return victorious. I think it is possible that he will pass though "hell",
as did Jesus after the crucifixion. I'd give that one 90%. I feel quite
certain that Harry's reason for going through the veil will be to meet up
with Sirius. I will explain this when I go through the discussion of each
character.

In the Alchemical Wedding the Gate of Saturn is symbolised by the secret
eighth floor of the Tower of Olympus. The Gate of Saturn is associated with
the number 8. Christian Rosycross is invited to come up to the eighth floor,
under the roof, to assist in the rebirth of the new king and queen. (In this
reckoning the ground floor is the first floor.)

4a. Ron will die but will live again through the alchemical process.

I tend to think he will die by decapitation, perhaps in a symbolic sense.
Decapitation plays in important role in the Alchemical Wedding, in the New
Testament (John the Baptist) and in Harry Potter (Buckbeak, parrot &
herring). In the Alchemical Wedding the prince and princess are decapitated
along with 4 other kings and queens and their bodies, together with the
head of the executioner, used in a process of dissolution, crystallisation,
rebirth, another decapitation, burning and another rebirth, to create
two new bodies of unsurpassable beauty. I think that somehow Ron will live
again after Harry's return through the Gate of Saturn. I suspect the
statement "those that love us never truly leave us" is a clue. Perhaps Harry
Ron and Hermione together form a Half Blood Prince, though whether that's
the one meant by the title of book 6 I don't know.

4b. I originally thought Hermione would meet the same fate but I'm not so
sure about her any more. There are signs that she will and signs that she
won't. I'll leave it 50/50

5. Harry will enter the Temple of Venus (the Room with the mysterious force
in the Ministry of Magic). Just like Christian Rosycross Harry will enter
the forbidden room. I suspect he will find Lily there. I envisage a scenario
like this: When the Ministry of Magic went to the Potters' house on 31-10-81
(or the day after) they found James and Lily there. The Department of
Mysteries wanted Lily's body to study Love, reasoning that if she had so
much love for Harry that it just about killed Voldemort, it must have been
extremely powerful. They have put her body on a bier of some sort and it's
preserved either by magic or by the power of Love itself.

My reason for thinking this is as follows: As this story is very similar the
"The Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosycross" there could quite possibly
be a woman in the room in the Dept. of Mysteries. There has to be something
there; I doubt you could just have an empty room with a force field. There
has to be a focus.

Another even more powerful reason is that both Lily and the Room of Venus
symbolise the divine principle in the human heart. They are in fact the
same. Lily is the principle in its pristine state while the Temple of Venus
is the same principle in a state of partial realisation of its potential.
When Dumbledore says this room has a force that Harry has in great abundance
he may be referring to a link between Harry and the Room, which could
contain the body of his mother. I know Jo has said Lily is definitely dead,
otherwise I would have said she was in a state of suspended animation, like
Venus in the "Alchemical Wedding". Intriguing!

I suspect that Harry will be 'punished' like Christian Rosycross who saw
Venus lying asleep on a bed. His page lifted the blankets and Christian
Rosycross saw her naked. The gatekeeper through astrological observation
became aware of this and at the end of the story he accused Christian
Rosycross of it. Christian Rosycross was punished by having to become
gatekeeper, although "coming home". This is a mysterious part of the AW. If
we take this literally it sounds like seeing "Love" is a crime punishable by
a kind of house arrest. However we should keep in mind that this is divine
humour. The cloakship of gatekeeper is accepted voluntarily. The idea of
"punishment" just draws our attention to the inconceivably great sacrifice
made by a Master of Compassion when he is faced with two choices: return
home to the loving arms of the Father or stay behind in the fallen universe
to lead seekers to the homeward journey. Of course compassion wins! Who,
who's heart is liberated from Voldemort, would not choose to stay behind and
guide his prodigal brothers and sisters to Platform 9 to enable them to
begin the 7 years' journey to liberation from suffering and death?

Harry may be confronted with the choice of being with Sirius or coming to
the muggle world to become gate keeper at Hogwarts. If he chooses the
latter, he will be with Sirius anyway. That's my (flawed) understanding of
how it works on the Path of Liberation

This takes us to:

6. Harry will take Hagrid's place at the end of book seven.

Hagrid is the Keeper of the Keys and was the one who introduced Harry to the
Magical World. Hagrid is officially regarded as a muggle, as his wand has
been broken, and he acts as a gatekeeper between the muggle world and the
magic world. He gave Harry the letter of invitation and gave him access to
platform 9. He also took Harry into Diagon Alley. As a punishment
(implicitly or explicitly) Harry will take Hagrid's place after his defeat
of Voldemort, the death of his friends and all the exciting adventures of
the past seven years. I guess it's a kind of anticlimax, but how
symmetrical, how ironic, and yet how sublime. The greatest of them all, he
who defeated the Dark Lord, is rewarded with the humblest job of all. The
Alchemical Wedding ends with the announcement that two pages are missing,
"...and he, the author hereof, whereas he imagined he must be guardian of
the gate in the morning, has come home." As Harry has always
considered Hogwarts his real home this will be poignantly true for him. He,
too, may be forbidden to do magic. I can imagine it now: "First years this
way!", Harry bellowed, as the new students gaped at his scar....

What will happen to Hagrid? He will obviously resume the journey that was
interrupted previously. It's obvious that his progress as a wizard was
hindered by being gatekeeper. This points to the sacrifice made by those who
take on this role. Hagrid will probably be pardoned by the Ministry of Magic
and so be allowed to do magic.

7. Harry will not have to kill Voldemort by a deliberate act.

I have covered this in my essay. A person whose heart is liberated is just
not capable of killing. It's just not possible. No way, no option, can't do,
sorry. What happens when evil confronts Good is that Good does not enter
into conflict. It steps back and fills the vacated space with Love. That's a
force, not a warm fuzzy feeling. As we know, Voldemort can't stand this
force and whatever part of him is evil will simply dissipate, hence:

8. Voldemort will dissipate like an expired Patronus through an act of love
or compassion by Harry.

9. Harry and Sirius will be reunited. 100%

Sirius is the "bright morning star" (of ancient Egypt), and if you look that
up in the Bible (Revelation) you WILL know. 

What amuses me is that Jo has said that she chose a name for her son which
has nothing to do with Harry Potter. Ha ha ha! See revelation 22:16!! By the
way, Sirius is identified by some people as the Star of David.

10. Snape will die for Harry. 99%
11. Lupin will die for Harry. 99%

I think I've identified Snape and Lupin as the 'black' and 'grey' kings of
"The Alchemical Wedding" respectively. They both sacrifice themselves for
the resurrection of the new king and queen. They are both decapitated.

12. In book 6 a "counsellor" will come to teach about "sin, righteousness
and judgement". 90%

Read John 16:8. This is a key passage, in my opinion, to understanding the
very foundation of Harry Potter, the axis on which it all turns.

The above character could also be the Half-Blood Prince. However I'm still
suspicious about why Harry, Ron and Hermione are undeviatingly mentioned in
that order, spelling H.R.H. = His Royal Highness, plus the fact that their
"wizard blood" adds up to 1 out of 3, being "half-blood". I'm 50/50 on that
subject.

13. Dobby will accompany Harry on his final hero's journey.
Dobby personifies the etheric body of the alchemist who has the new soul,
i.e. Harry. Harry has liberated Dobby (reverse the consonants and you get
bbody) which means that the etheric body is able to do wonderful things for
the new soul. It becomes a powerful spiritual ("magic") tool. I believe
Dobby will freely accompany Harry on his last journey, possibly the one
through the gate of Saturn, and will in fact become Harry's assistant. If
Harry takes Hagrid's place at Hogwarts Dobby will go with him there.

Well that's it for the time being. You all have my permission to laugh if
I'm proven wrong! It's still been fun to predict this.

What I'm 100% certain about is this:

Harry Potter is the universal message of human liberation - the death of the
earthly, mortal self and the resurrection of the original, divine
everlasting Son of the Architect.
