The Key of It All

The sum of the cryptogram in chapter II, verse 76 of Liber AL = 1066 using basic Hebrew-English Gematria, (i.e. the Hebrew formula applied to the English alphabet.) [Note: SUM, Samekh-Vav-Mem final = 666 which plus 400 (Tau, 'T' The SUM) Tau also refers to the Cross, the symbol of which refers to the 'sum', or addition (+). Thus, '+ SUM' = 1066. Also, the sum of the components 10 and 66 are of course 76, the verse number, 10 being Had (1) and Nu (0), 66 being the number of the Great Work (the union of HAD and NU).]

4+6+3+8+A¹+B²+K²⁰+2+4+A¹+L³⁰+G³+M⁴⁰+O⁷⁰+R²⁰⁰+3+Y¹⁰+X⁹⁰+24+89+R²⁰⁰+P⁸⁰+S⁶⁰+T⁹+O⁷⁰+V⁶+A¹+L³⁰

As further verification of this formula and its relevance to the Liber we also find that 1066 is the number of THE CRYPTOGRAM KEY itself, as well as THE GEMATRIA KEY OF LIBER AL VEL LEGIS. I've found it is also VERSE 76 TEST and EXPOUND THE 76 SUM (Mem final). I've found this formula to decode THE VERSE 76 GEMATRIA KEY, which when applied to the Book of the Law unlocks some of the primary concepts. 

The number 76 itself is quite significant, being as it is the number of WILL in Hebrew-English Gematria, the meaning of the Greek word Thelema. It is also the number of ANKH, which is the Egyptian word for Eternal Life, or the Immortal Principle synonymous with the Will.  76 is also THE LIGHT, and this year, the 111th year of the Aeon of Horus, has been declared the International Year of Light by the United Nations - 111 being itself the number of THE WHITE LIGHT which is associated with Kether and Aleph, the pure light of manifestation. As has been said, this is the 111th year of the Aeon of Horus, and the 76th happened to be 1980 when Kenneth Grant released his 5th book Outside the Circles of Time which went into more detail regarding Frater Achad's findings regarding the Key(s) of Manifestation. This book cataloged the recurrence of the egg iconography from its first occurrence in  Liber AL.II.49 for a recurring sevenfold cycle of seven years.

On the 107th year of the Aeon of Horus, without my awareness of the significance of the egg or even the slightest importance of Achad's insights into Liber AL I happened to buy a black obsidian egg on April 2nd. It was not until just within about a week later did I realize when reading OTCOT that Achad too had discovered what he did about the Egg (BITzH = 107 = MAION) on the very same day, which was also his birthday, in 1948.

Further 'synchronicity' I've noticed among all of this is that 111 is 35 more than 76, 76 being the verse of the Cryptogram and 35 being the number of the 'KEY': The 76 KEY (i.e. 111) unlocks the number of THE BALANCE (i.e. the weighing/measuring scales of Maat). 107, the number of the Egg in a number of ways as shown throughout this blog (THE MAGICK EGG, The Egg of Daath, An Obsidian Egg, etc.), which is also that of 'GOLD'/'Chrysos', the formula of the Philosopher's Stone, is the sum of AL (31) and 76, i.e. the Key of verse 76. This Key also opens the HÉ FINAL, or Daughter aspect of the Tetragrammaton which is aligned with the forces of synthesis, regeneration, awakening and in a way is reminiscent of the 4th state of awareness, 'Turiya', which is typified as cosmic bliss, or ANANDA, which is also 107. 

The Egg is the symbol of the seed which contains a very deep charge of magickal, i.e. mayic potential. As has been said by Qabalists for ages, the Qabalah of Nine Chambers (i.e. 111-999, AIQ BKR) which forms the Tree of Life is a microcosmic reflection of the macrocosm and therefore the blueprint of Creation is bound up in the palm (hand/5/ Heh) / seed / egg. (The fifth element, Akasha, is symbolized by a black egg). Thus, the black egg is totemic of the Eye of the Dragon, the '0' itself, realized and awakened which is not even centered in my talismanic egg, but merely a cosmic symbol of expansion within my own Bindi ('DOT', Daath/Gnosis). 

111, 'THE WHITE LIGHT', can also be rendered in Greek as 'RAY', or 'AIR', ray being the BOLT of Light or Lightning which emanates from not just from Kether, but the Ain Soph Aur, or Limitless Light, in its descent to Malkuth (and Air being the element associated with Aleph, ALP = 111.) 111 is the number of the Greek Εννεα, 'Nine', and the Qabalah of Nine Chambers which is veiled in the numbers 111-999 show with the utmost precision how the ancient principles of Qabalah still apply to the modern English (and transliterated Hebrew, Greek, Sanskrit, etc.), thus aptly the Key of it All. (Note that THE ALL + AL = 111 = Η Λεξη ‘The Word’ = QTB, [Arabic], 'The Point'). 111 veils the 3 in 1 and 1 in 3 which relates to the Key (AL, 31) of Achad (13), 'One in All and All in One' - 'All in One and One in All', which according to Liber 31, in its original Latin form ended up enumerating to 777 (using Hebrew applied to the Latin phrase/English letters), which at the time of conceiving of this motto he was not aware. 
(Note 777 is the number of the Hebrew word NMLA IVMM (Mem final), meaning "filled with Light".) 777 is, of course, also אדגטלןףרת, The Flaming Sword which descends to CHARGE (=222) the Ruach which crystallizes into Malkuth (Manifestation). Exoterically, MALKUTH (=111) itself is shown with this formula to be a manifestation of the Logos, which in its fullest trine expression as 999 represents THE ALIGNMENT / THE BALANCE as represented by The Truth and Justice of Maat.

(LIBER AL VEL LEGIS KEY + THIS IS THE KEY OF IT ALL = 1066 = 

THE LIBER AL VEL LEGIS KEY + NINE NINE NINE =
THE CODE OF LIBER AL + 220 [the number of Liber AL])

In Magick, Book 4/Liber ABA, page 508, Notes for an Astral Atlas, Crowley notes how he received a better spelling of Therion (Gk. 'Beast') from Amalantrah on February 24, 1918 who gave him the answer:

  "t'au, yod, resh, yod, ayin, nun' which adds to 740 or 1390, according as nun is given its ordinary value of 50 , or its value as the final letter of a word, 700. Neither of these numbers possessed any special significance to The Master Therion. He became very annoyed  at Amalantrah's failure to be of use, so much so that the communications became confused, and the work had to be abandoned for that evening. He tried various other Hebrew spellings for the word ΘΗΡΙΟΝ, but was unable to obtain anything of interest. This is rather remarkable, as it is nearly always possible to get more or less good results by trying with various possibilities. For example, the Th might be represented either by teth or by tau, the O might be equally well ayin, vau or aleph.

On Monday morning The Master Theior went to the office of The International, of which he was editor. At this period there was a coal famine in New York, and it was forbidden to heat office buildings on Mondays. He merely took away his mail and went home. On Tuesday morning He found on his desk a letter which had arrived on Monday for the general editor, who had sent it across to Him for replay as it concerned The Master Therion rather than himself. This letter had been written and posted on Sunday evening, at about the same time as the communication from Amalantrah. The letter ends as follows: "Please inform your readers that I, Samuel bar Aiwaz bie Yackou de Sherabad, have counted the number of the Beast, and it is the number of a man.

 (Read from right to left) ת   ר   י   ו   נ

                                          N  O  I  R  Th

                                           50 6 10 200 400

Here, then, we see the most striking solution possible of the problem presented to Amalantrah. Observe that Amalantrah had refused to give the correct solution directly; as it would seem, in order to emphasize the remarkable character of the intervention of this Assyrian correspondent. Observe too, that the latter was totally ignorant of the ordinary Qabalah, it being quite generally known that ΤΟ ΜΕΓΑ ΘΗΡΙΟΝ adds up to 666 in Greek. Observe, moreover, that nearly four months had passed since the problem was propounded in The International. The Assyrian lived some distance outside of New York, and was an entire stranger to any of the staff of The International. The evidence appears overwhelming for the existence of Amalantrah, that he was more expert in the Qabalah than The Master Therion himself, and that he was (further) possessed with the power to recall this four-months-old problem to the mind of an entirely unconnected stranger, causing him to communicate the correct answer at the same moment as the question was being asked many miles away."

The reason I quote this is because there is a hidden key which was overlooked even by The Master Therion himself as well as the editors (John Symonds and Kenneth Grant) themselves, which is that simply, THERION can not only be 666 as shown above, but also using Hebrew-English Gematria it is precisely 999 using Nun final and Teth, the inverse of 666 which shows the nature of the Beast as The Dual One, i.e. the Double-Wanded One. 

999 has been shown to be THE NUMBER OF THE KEY OF IT ALL, and I have also noted elsewhere previously that September 9th, 2009 (9-9-9) was the day of my self-Initiation which at the time I had very little knowledge of Crowley and gematria and no knowledge of the importance of these formulas or 999 itself. To my knowledge, no one else has found very many of these keys except for Frater Achad who began finding the first few, then Kenneth Grant who picked up his work and a few other Adepts here and there who have contributed their insights, but as far as providing these formulas it is interesting to note that even Crowley, nowhere in his writings, seems to have been aware of the precision of these formulas and their application to Liber AL. I've surveyed all of his writings, as well as those of Achad and Grant and as many others I can find and no one has even simply seemed to have found that the original title LIBER L VEL LEGIS = 666, the number of The Beast and how ironic that is before my publishing of The Sword of Zin in 2012. I've even presented this to others and they don't understand and therefore scoff at the idea that something could be so simple, as if nothing else has ever hidden in plain sight.

BAPHOMET = 212,
212 can be thought of as the 'double' one,
or devil with the 2 fingers held out.

The question remains. 'How is this applicable and relevant to our daily lives'? Well, in that it unveils more deeply than ever the insights and revelations of Liber AL, as well as many other texts and even entire systems, the combination of Gematria formulas (especially along with the Hebrew-English Gematria formula) unlocks the underlying meanings and true essential expressions of magickal gnosis which can be more easily apprehended, developed and guided, i.e. magickal exercise.
There are great connections between the numbers (1-9) themselves and our measurements of certain things, such as the melting point (33 degrees), the boiling point (212 degrees), the distance to the sun (93 million miles), certain geographical places, scales and ratios between these things (Pi & Phi), etc... they correspond to gematric things in pretty precise ways and I think that we could understand more about the mathematics of physics when you understand that you can kind of 'telescope' the larger things with the smaller and extrapolate thing using the existing mathematics themselves. By observing the natural mechanisms and mathematics we can perhaps better engineer things accordingly, rather than work as if we didn't have or need the blueprint sitting right beneath our noses. Adepts have known of the application of this knowledge in physical and esoteric engineering since as far back as the inception of the Freemasonic guilds, and is written about extensively in various books, one of which is even mentioned by Crowley in Magick, by William Stirling called The Canon from 1897 which talks about this ageless wisdom which was suppressed by the various 'establishments' over the ages

What I recommend you do for practical magickal work regarding the advent of the Maatian Aeonic tide, having done it myself for the past few years with great results, is to create a personal Gematria database by simply making a folder on your computer and coping a Word file into about 3000 different files numbered 1-2277 (The sum of the middle pillar). Create a list of all the different words you can find using the various primary gematria ciphers (i.e. Simple, Jewish, English, Hebrew, Greek, Hebrew-English, NAEQ) and begin reading Liber AL vel Legis along with Liber Pennae Praenumbra if you haven't, and when you can start reading Kenneth Grant's Typhonian Trilogies. These are merely creative ways at looking at and using natural energies in art for the purpose of creative manifestation, i.e. Magick itself. The mundane development of a personal 'Qabalah of Nine Chambers' will help one to attune and develop their True Will and 'Magickal Universe'. The combined experience of this and basic preliminary mystico-magickal (ceremonial and meditative) work helps one to also learn the mechanics of what Michael Bertiaux calls the 'Gnostic Physics' of the Ontological realm, the level of mind which the Logos is centered. Manifestation from the Heart-level, rather than the mind/body-level is the goal and aim of the 'True Will'/Great Work, 'The Golden Path', or 'Middle Way'.

A CROSSED RING = 666, the number of 'The Mark of the Beast', this symbol being 'The Mark of the Beast' which is relinquished when one can themselves cross the abyss that is the ring pass not of THE O GATE of the HÉ FINAL (i.e. the Egg, symbolic of the doorway of manifestation.), the threshold of Malkuth itself.

This knowledge becomes wisdom by what you make of it, and as Amalantrah says, "The egg is a work which must be done - the great work. By doing the work we get to the key."
