Forging the Sword


     As an Intro for the Channel that has now already been rendered for the most part defunct for the time being, I spoke my mind about some various things which I felt needed to be said particularly for those who may come across my material for the first time. It is difficult not to be rather unenthused about how in a time when information has never been more easily obtainable and yet it is so taken for granted. All the while there is this constant boasting of 'advancement' and 'modernization', although why does it seem people are genuinely becoming more dumbed-down to put it frankly. The whole point, however, is that in a dog-eat-dog world where the strongest are said to survive, then the meek and weak who do not avail themselves to knowledge and power made readily available will inevitably perish by their own doing or lack thereof with no one else to blame. By our words behind us we create the path before us and with the sword we forge in life may we free our Soul in death.


     The more I learn with each passing day the more I come to feel like I am merely remembering rather than actually learning for the first time. As I have said, as far back as when I first read Liber AL when 17 years old and having an intense deja vu experience where I almost knew what the next verse would say and slowly I am coming to find that certain actions, symbols, and ideas I had as a child parallel sometimes perfectly with occurrences and discoveries I am coming across now. Another example is how I knew the number 9 was somehow a 'key' to everything long before I knew anything about numerology from reading about it, and took my vow to discover for myself what it meant (at least to me) on September 9, 2009.
    About 3 years later I come to discover that the Qabalah of Nine Chambers (111-222-333-444-555-666-777-888-999) contain the main 'meat' of the Secret Gnosis, and that I was right, 9 is the Master Key of the 0. 9 and 0, or 90 veil the 'X' (Tzaddi), i.e. the X in the O (0), the Lux in Nox, the Ain-Soph-Aur. Thus, in deciphering these primary chambers as well as much more I have found what amounts to a complete revision and update of the Qabalah under 'New Aeon' (Horus-Maat balanced) lines as it unveils both the mysteries of the old traditions and hitherto un-deciphered formulae of the Aeon of Horus, as well as providing a key to the future formulae of that of Maat in her full recension.


     I received, among many 'messages', the DIRECTIONS to FOUND AN ORDER being leveled at 666, the universal value of communion - the Solar-force midway between 'God'/the Pure Soul and 'Self'/Incarnate existence (Kether and Malkuth). All any Order, church, or guru is meant to do is provide a link for these two to recognize their distinctness and unity, and if it does not do this it fails as an adequate spiritual service. They are therefore necessarily only good for a time, place and particular type of person or set of people. An Order is called such because it provides such. The highest heads of the order have become an IPSISSIMUS STAR and have merged with the astral (starry) fluid which we conceive of as being 'beyond' (at least our) space-time. The true Secret-Chiefs, like the true Secret Wisdom, is actually not very secret or hidden at all - it is just forgotten like a dream is forgotten, or like the place before birth is forgotten. Much of Initiation, again, is not so much learning but various prompts to REMEMBER THE PAST.


     The ORDO DRACONIS, also called THE ORDER OF LAPSIT EXILLIS, i.e. the fallen star-stone equates to the high value of 999, the number of the Dragon King - THERION (Nun final, 700). Another form of the Dragon is LAM, the crowned egg-headed entity Crowley drew 'from life' in 1918 (the number of THE PORTRAIT OF LAM itself). After reading The Gnostics and their Remains by Charles William King, I am almost certain of a link between Lam (whose name is also the root-chakra mantra) and the lion-headed serpent Chnoubis and much other related iconography analyzed in that book. Lam is both masculine (phallic) and feminine with a yoni-like figure where the body is or should be. This relates Lam to the androgynous Baphomet, and the crown of heart-shapes along with the shape of the 'body' and the darkened 'hole' at the center is reminiscent of the Australian Wandjina, as has been analyzed before (See Visions of the Past, Transmissions from the Future- Precursor to Disclosure) thus relating Lam to the dream-time or astral plane. (The word 'astral' connotes the stars).
     The serpentine or ophidian form of Chnoubis as well as well as the oval-form of the many Abraxas-gems indicate the Kundalini and the Auric egg as well. ABRAXAS + LAM = 666, also showing yet another connection. The Dragon is associated with fear and monstrousness, as is the experience of Kundalini, as it implies a breaking of or transcending of boundaries. The Dragon is associated with the number 0 as it is the Diamond-Eye which sees beyond space-time like a worm-hole and is the Ouroboros which awakens to new realities. Thus, 0 and the Dragon are particularly associated with the ordeal of Death - The Great Initiation.


     107 is LAM-THE WAY, but it is also the number of the year in which I happened to buy an obsidian egg on April 2nd, 2011 - since 1904, when the Aeon of Horus began with the reception of Liber AL vel Legis, The Book of the Law by Aleister Crowley. His 'Magickal Son' discovered various keys to this text, mainly the primary key '31', or AL which was the reverse of his own magickal number, 13. I was not aware of the significance of any of this until noticing that my own initiations were paralleling those which Crowley and Achad went through when I met with a certain Soror 722 in 2012 three months after starting this blog. It was not even until 2015 that I realized that LAM-THE WAY had the value of 107 to make the direct connection, but I had intuited the connection as I'm sure did Kenneth Grant who also never actually specified this particularly significant correspondence - though he did come close, see footnote 6 of page 203 of Outer Gateways (1994). 107 is the GOLD ביצה, or 'Egg' which is central to The Amalantrah Working of 1918 of which both Achad and Crowley were a part. 30 years later (30 = 'THE EGG' with a teth) was 1948 when Achad discovered the formula of MA-ION, the 'ends of manifestation' which are relevant to the first and last verses of Nuit's chapter in Liber AL. 107 is the Key of AL:76, the cryptogram which upon reading even by the uninitiated triggers a cracking of the Auric Egg. 107 is also the מגנ דוד, or Star of David - the shield of the Hexagram (macrocosm) and therefore the auric shell.
     The original aim of this blog was to document this experience, and the more I do the more it continues to expand and deepen. I obtained the egg without haggling and it has expanded to become both the kingdom and the crown. The good thing about alchemical gold versus the physical kind is that you can have a lot more without it weighing you down. This is the metal with which to forge the sword.
