The Lunar Loophole


    
     For the past six months I have been working doing concrete foundations, thus limiting my ability to keep up with making new blog posts and videos. I have however been able to acquire many more books to contribute to my research and ongoing Initiation. Lately I have been focusing primarily on the Grimoires, and using the Key of The Qabalah of Nine Chambers I have extracted many of the core principles and fundamentals of natural magic across multiple systems and regions. The keys provided last year in A Unio Mystica were just an insightful 'tip of the iceberg' preceding a much deeper excursion through each grimoire (thus far available) now amounting to at least a books-worth of material regarding merely the qabalistic notes alone. Now that extensive notes have been made during a period of relative patient observance, certain things need to be related here in order to illustrate certain goings-on lately regarding the foundational manifestation of this Wisdom.

     As readers will be familiar, there has been and is a lot of apparent synchronicity/coincidence in my life which I have been able to better document and intellectually apprehend through a practical understanding of the Qabalah and various occult sciences. This year, however, has been particularly serendipitous for me, and much has been coming together in such a way that my understanding of the mechanics of the various sheaths or bodies (physical, astral, emotional, etheric, etc.) and their cyclical unfoldment through the temporal zones or 'time-stations'/states of time, i.e. the 'Zonei' or archetypal spirits of spatial time nodes ('Angles'/'Angels' and their correspondent reflexes) have expanded and unfolded. Initiation must take time, and cycles must be recognized in order for victory to be attained in the Spheres. The temporal dimension has been labeled the 'Fourth Dimension', and in the previous posts of this year we have tried formulating an understanding of what the 'Fifth Dimension' might entail, being a dimension directed inward in relation to the 3 spatial and 1 temporal dimension - equating it with the 'Fifth Element' of Akasha/plasma/metal i.e., the formative data or plasmatic filament of elemental crystallization.

     This plasma filament is termed the 'Thread of the Ain Soph' by Kenneth Grant in his appendix on The Sign of Protection in The Ninth Arch (2002). The Thread of the Ain Soph is also the Astral Light of Eliphas Levi, and the 'One Substance' of Hermetic doctrine, i.e. the 'SOURCE-CODE' Manifestation which is also described as the 'crooked sound' of OM/Aum/ॐ. The 'crooked' or 'dancing' nature of Om as Maya implies THE RITUAL dance of atoms, planets, galaxies, etc. in THE CIRCLE which forms the seemingly solid, dense material plane. The dance of atoms which form the cloud only creates the illusion of stability, but over time all cycles degenerate and reformulate, and thus THE AKASHIC RECORDS are said to retain THE FRACTAL BLUEPRINT of the manifest formation.

     666 being the number of GEOMETRIC EMERGENCE, and allocated as the Intelligence of Tiphareth (SVRTh, Sorath) implies the Hexagonal-field pattern of the Ruach region of the Tree of Life, figured along with Daath (as space-time) as 'The Cube'. 666 signifies in many ways the MAGNETIC ENERGY CENTER of gravity and Will/Thelema, there is however a magnetic polarity (signified as 999) which represents the toroidal rim (Saturnian Ring) of the Cube-Sphere, and these extremely simplified yet hermetically potent formulae together create the 'Double Wand' of Coph Nia, i.e. the Kaph/Wheel/Hand of the inverted Void (AIN~NIA). The Double Wand of Coph Nia is mentioned in verse 72 of Chapter III of Liber AL vel Legis:

70.  
I am the Hawk-Headed Lord of Silence & of Strength; my nemyss shrouds the night-blue sky.
71.  
Hail! ye twin warriors about the pillars of the world! for your time is nigh at hand.
72.  
I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power; the wand of the Force of Coph Nia— but my left hand is empty, for I have crushed an Universe; & nought remains.


     The Force of Coph Nia is an epithet of the vacuum of the Abyss. Coph can not only be thought of as a variant of Kaph, the 11th Hebrew letter (K/Wheel of Fortune/Palm) with its relation to Magick and the Egg (Auric Shell/Wheel of Samsara/Qliphoth) but also Qoph (The back of the head/Moon/Astral body) and Guph, the Hebrew GVPh which refers to the Treasury of Souls between, before/after life and death. It is also noteworthy that the verse number 72 is 11 (=EGG; Kaph) + 61 (NIA, Ain inverted /AIN, Nothingness). This is THE AXLE OF THE AEONS, and it is this inward direction that constitutes the Fifth Dimension and Fifth Element of The Akasha. The gate or doorway of this 'hatch' in the egg is within and everywhere present as the Thread of Ain Soph weaving the Web of Manifestation, but considering the primary symbol of the number 5 being the Pentagram and the Golden Ratio of 2:3, another formulation of this Cosmic formula is the Golden Mean.


     Note also that another resonant idea relating to the Golden Mean/Ratio is THE GOLDILOCKS THEORY which happens to equal 618, the fraction of 1.618 that is The Golden Ratio. 618 is also the Greek Ομφη, meaning 'Divine Voice' or 'Oracle', especially as in the voice of God or gods. Note that 618 is also 318 (Helios) and 300 (Shin, the triple flame), thus it is aligned with the solar power - and the Christogram IHS (Gk. ΙΗΧ), the shortening of IESOUS, also has a value of 618 thus aligning it to the Solar-Christ force.

      It has already been noted that 619, one more than 618, is also Helios + Selene (Gk. Ηλιος, 318 + Σεληνη, 301) or the Sun and the Moon. Being one more than 618, i.e. the Golden Ratio of the Christ force, this is significant since Αςκληπιος, Asclepius' name also equals 619 - associated with the Caduceus which represents the Solar and Lunar forces co-mingling. METRO-PATER, or 'Mother-Father', reminding of Melchizedek who is unborn without mother or father and deathless/immortal, also has the value of 619, further reminiscent of BAFOMET, 69 - however in a higher form and with a restored or erect phallus. Note also that 619 is 'The Caduceus' in Jewish Gematria. The nature of 609 has also already been explained in relation to MAGNETISM, which Joseph Ennemoser in The History of Magic, heavily emphasizes as the fundamental basis of 'Magic', and again it is this dual-nature that also composes the Yin and Yang duality of Maya or manifestation. Once again, Kenneth Grant's qabalistic insights within The Ninth Arch are of value in understanding the nature of 619 and its phallic magnetism.


616-10. What a lugubrious game!
617-11. But Earth should know this:
618-12. that out of lost time
619-13. the Qliphoth of Daäth will descend


  This, together with 620/14, reflects in a curiously oblique fashion an ancient qabalistic doctrine carried over by Initiates of the Golden Dawn. It involves the ‘fall’ of Knowledge (ascribed to the sephira Daäth) to a position of mere pendant – Malkuth – to the Tree of Life. Malkuth is known as both the ‘Kingdom’ and the ‘Bride’. By permutation, the word Malkuth becomes Lam-Koth. [The mystique associated with these words is explored in Grant, Nightside of Eden.] As Koth [See Lovecraft, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.] it has been assigned to a black Tower standing solitary in the ‘twilight zone’ (the Mauve Zone is indicated). The Tower stands sentinel to the Tunnels of Set; it is also associated with Lam. The verse suggests that it may be the Standing Stone of Set, or a hollow [See Crowley Liber Samekh, where KOThA is defined as the ‘Hollow One’.] stone, or shaft, acting in Malkuth as a conduit for the downbeat Qliphoth of Daäth, the eleventh sephira. The shaft penetrates the earth (see Comment to 620/14), thus enabling the Force to merge with the Lower Qliphoth and to “void themselves through the Tunnels of Set.” These forces may be controlled and diverted into the thirteen Globes of Yog-Sothoth. The sign for evoking the globes includes OLYARAM, a form of ILYARUN, whose formula appears in the S’lbaic Gnosis [See Grat, Outer Gateways, chapter 13 et seq.] The Sign of Koth may therefore be related to, or identical with, the Sign of Yog-Sothoth’s evocation. The Oracle is AChRITH, ‘of the Ninth’, a reference to the Ninth Arch; and, as 619 is one more than Ain Omphé, ‘fountain of the Oracle’, it combines these two concepts.


620-14. below Malkuth and void themselves through the Tunnels of Set.

      The termination of the sentence at 620 is significant. 620 is not only the number of KThR, Kether 'The Crown' of the Tree of Life, it is also a form of the QLIPhTH and THE TUNNELS. 620 is also the Hebrew ShORIM, or 'Doors', 'Gateways', or 'Portals' - "indicating the Stellar (ChKMH), Saturnian (BINH), and Uranian (V-DOTh) gateways." (page 395 of The Ninth Arch.) Note also that the Hebrew letter for The Tower card is Pe, thus aligning the Tongue with the power of the hollow tower, i.e. the void of the abyss which delineates that which is manifest. The voice and tongue are related to the region of Vishuddha and Daath and the WORDS OF POWER (=777) said to be vibrated on a higher/inner plane than that of merely the outward/mundane. The Hollow Pillar is another form of the 'Black Stone', or the Black Cube of Space, the 'Black Iron Prison' of Philip K. dick, and Pandora's Box, yet also figured as the brass vessel of King Solomon - all of which contain the QLIPHOTHIC FORCES back of all manifestation.

     The main point of the quote above, however, is that Grant seems to have been well aware of the interlinking nature of these concepts and their values and correspondences. The overall symbolic expression I get from analyzing the relationship between 618-619-620 seems to me to be a manifestation of the 'Thread' of the Ain Soph emanating from Kether or the Monad into the prismatic arrangement that is our Solar system and its ratios. It is also significant then that 620 is the number of the Μιτος, or 'Thread'/'Seed of Life' (hence mitosis, or cellular division.) 620 is also THE HIEROGLYPHIC MONAD, referred to in the previous post as being a supreme Key of the Magus, and it is also the Greek Τελειος, Teleios, meaning 'Perfect', 'complete in all its parts', 'full grown, especially of the completeness of Christian character.' The name 'Pierre Teilhard de Chardin' also equals 620 in Jewish Gematria, relating 620 to his notion of The Omega Point, which the number seems to indicate despite its rather seemingly innocuous arrangement of numerics. Why 620? Breaking it down we can see it is 31 x 20, or AL, 'God' multiplied by YVD, 'Yod' meaning a 'Hand', and thus 620 could be said to represent the Hand of God, i.e. the author of Η Γραφη, 'The Scripture', i.e. the SOURCE-CODE; THE FOUNDATION OF THE FOUNDATION.

     This SOURCE-CODE can be tapped when the Thread alluded to is ascertained on a subjective basis, and certain understandings attained regarding its nature. The myth of Ariadne's thread and the Labyrinth and Minotaur (which have also been already referenced) is an apt illustration of this Initiatory process. The subject of The Funnel Effect and the book Dark Doorway of the Beast are particularly relevant here, and it should be noted that the Golden Thread is one and the same with the active Will of Thelema, and thus the inextricable link between the perceived boundaries of subjective experience and objective reality. This is also the unquantifiable 'CELL OF CONSCIOUSNESS' which materialistically limited science cannot seem to find, equated of course with 666 - THE HOLOGRAPHIC MONAD of THE QABALAH OF NINE CHAMBERS.

     The work of GUDJIEFF AND OUSPENSKY, (not to diminish their colleagues, however it is noteworthy that their two names combine to equal 666, the value embodying so many of their teachings.) has also been mentioned from the beginning of this year, but I want to lay heavier emphasis on the value of their Work in regard to the opening of the Heart/Anahata/Tiphareth center for more effective 'magick' or transmutation. The lower centers either of the Tree of Chakra tend to be bigger obstacles in removing the 'lust of result', and it is through the alignment of THE OPEN HEART (=444= OPEN THE HEART) that the natural paths can flow more effectively. Note that 444 is the value of 'MIDDLE PILLAR', 'THE HOLLOW REED', 'SEPHIROTH', 'HARMONICS', 'RESONANCE', 'REGULATIONS', 'COMPASSION', 'ATTITUDE', etc.

     Thus, an ARTIFICER must redirect the focus and align the central axle of Tiphareth/Anahata (the 4th Chakra) for the etheric tendencies to begin patterning, and it is here where the subject of 'Time' creeps in and the 'future' can be understood as a continuum of the past and present, mechanically interlinked in a conflagration of ways our 'conscious'/waking mundane consciousness cannot fully fathom in its partitioned and conditioned state. The Time Barrier is a dimensional range which we have grown to perceive with the help of measurements and historical 'time-binding' processes of data-collection, and it can be likened once again to the 'Fourth Way' of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, and even the 'Fourth Wall' concept of film where the audience is considered from a perspective hidden or occulted from the set.



     Note that THE SET = 333, the number of Choronzon the GATEKEEPER of the TIME-STATIONS and THE SEED of potentiality whereby the Fruit of the Tree may flower. It is between and beyond the 'cells' or 'shells' we know of as numbers, hence the Jewish denotation of them as 'Chambers', that the 'Fourth State' known as Turiya or Twilight is accessed providing entry into the Outer Gateways or 'ShORIM' of the Ain Soph. Thus, if 333 represents  the gateways between the angles - and 666 represents the MAGNETIC ENERGY CENTER of GEOMETRIC EMERGENCE within the 'Cube-matrix' of space-time, then 999 again is further symbolically understood as 'THE HYPER-DIMENSIONAL MATRIX' of the dynamic holon/hologram that is the HOLOGRAPHIC CONSCIOUSNESS of the SANCTUM SANCTORUM. Note also the CYCLIC LAW (111) that seems to recur throughout the Qabalah of Nine Chambers. The Wheel of Samsara, the scroll of the Torah, the WHEELS (111) within Wheels, the Spheres, the Shells, etc... are all different scaled interpretations of the cyclical law of space-time. See The Magical Calendar by Adam McLean for more on the magical concept of time, which analyzes the contents of the 1620 magical calendar called Magnum Grimorium sive Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum Profundissimam Rerum Secretissimarum Contemplationem Totiusque Philosophiae Cognitionem Complectens.

     The Foundational nature of Yesod, which means 'Foundation' is directly linked to Binah, not merely numerically through the relation of 9 and 3, but in a number of ways. The Ocean and Outer Space are both symbols of Binah, while Yesod is generally symbolized by the Moon, phallus, yoni or some other sexual or animal symbol, Serpent, Owl, etc. The grid pattern of the Magic Square of Saturn is the smallest square, yet being the NUMBER CALCULATOR contains INFINITE INFORMATION on so simple a device. In effect, being THE QABALAH OF NINE CHAMBERS in its most simple form, it can be thought of as a QABALISTIC HARD-DRIVE of immense data able to be extrapolated with the proper keys to the code. The focus or funnel effect of the golden thread determines the particular perspective within THE DIMENSIONAL LABYRINTH of QUANTUM HYPERSPACE. THE CUBE OF THE QABALAH with its relation to the Tarot and its arrangements represents, once again, the SOURCE-CODE comprising THE FRACTAL BLUEPRINT of THE FRACTAL OF MANIFESTATION.

     By learning to read the web one can begin to weave the web, and thus through THE CODIFICATION of the Will on a plane higher and deeper than merely materially-based and egoic, one can effectively actively participate in the writing of the SOURCE-CODE. This is essentially the concept of PROMETHEUS (=1111) 'bringing down the fire of heaven for the benefit of man', and the again Revelation 13:13:
 "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men." 
     Note the double numbers, 1111 and 1313 which I have already explicated. The patterns within and between the numbers and their correspondent data constructs indicate a natural arrangement for not only utility, but also beauty - and perhaps this is why Tiphareth, the central Sphere of the Tree and the heart of the fruit is thus so called. BEAUTY when spelled with a Teth, 9 has a value of 33 - a number specially connected with Tiphareth and the Christ-force, as well as the double-triangle or Hexagram commonly seen in snowflakes which form when water, the great solvent, comes below 33 degrees, thus unveiling the beauty of the hidden morphological pattern of space-time. Note also that the rendering of 33 DEGREES = 555, the number of the MASTER, i.e. THE MASTER MASON, MASONIC RITUALS, THE COFFIN of initiation which has a 5-5-5 on it, etc.

    555 also veils HNK/ENK, a form of Enoch who the Enochian system was named after, and 555 also provides entry to the notion of THE ENOCHIAN GEOMETRY, i.e. a type outside of regular Euclidean geometry utilizing the oblique angles of space-time dimensions and the numerical properties of magic squares, tables, etc. as utilized by Dee and other detractors of the Enochian system. Remember that 555 is also the value of FRACTALS, which gives an insight further into the novelty and range of this codes application. 555 is also THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNIVERSE, i.e. mathematics, and the SYNCHRONICITIES therein, hitherto not fully understood because, in my opinion, major keys and insights are left occulted. (THE LANGUAGE OF THE WAKE WORLD = 555 = 'OUT OF THIS WORLD'. See the fifth book in the Typhonian Trilogies, Outside the Circles of Time. See also Liber 95, The Wake World by Aleister Crowley.)

Sigillum Dei אמת (Truth)
     By looking at these concepts from a view provided by qabalistic classification we can see hinted at a sort of occult geometry working through the INTERSTICES (=666) of concepts and formulae. John Dee wrote a preface to Euclid's Elements of Geometry in 1570, and tried showing that the sciences, theology, and philosophy are all unified under mathematics and geometry. It may be that John Dee, being a hermetic qabalist, was beginning to anticipate as far back as the late 1500's the now burgeoning interest of quantum mechanics, hyper-geometry, and the value of qabalistic insights into the qliphothic nature of phenomena, and the Enochian system may be a manifestation thereof. The term 'Enochian' was not referred to by Dee and Kelley themselves, it was a later attribution and the communications and materials were referred to rather as 'Angelic'. (Note: 'ANGELIC' = 107.) Incidentally, subtracting 107/'ANGELIC' from 666 we find 559, 'THE ANGELS' or THE ANGLES of THE SPACE of THE CLASSICAL GEOMETRY (XYZ = 107). Also, once again the corresponding verse in Liber OKBISh (in The Ninth Arch, 2002) resonates:


Seal of The Sworn Book of Honorius
559-11. Zos embalmed her magick in a new geometry glyphed by the spider’s thread

  There is a drawing extant [By Austin Osman Spare. See Frontispiece.] depicting Clanda surrounded by the sigils and graphs of Spare’s ‘new geometry’. This was the picture that Dr. Phineas Black was so eager to decipher, for its strange sigils (strange even to him!) contained the secrets which form the life-blood of this Book 29 woven from the luminous body of OKBISh. Is not the verse-number that of all Magick and of the Qliphoth, both of which Clanda strove to manipulate? She carried the egg which symbolizes the shells (qliphoth), and we are told that the cypher ‘O’ signified with the Ancients the number ELEVEN. This is confirmed by the Oracle which totally void of correspondences (in the Book of Numbers so far compiled at the time OKBISh was received), and which still is!


     The New Geometry which is glyphed by the Spider's thread is conveyed through THE SPIDER WRITING mentioned in Liber OKBISh, combining the Hebrew, English, and potentially even the Enochian gematrias to further formulate THE ANGLES OF THE NEW GEOMETRY, or THE NEW GEOMETRY OF THE ANGLES (bequethed via the Enochian Workings), i.e. the ENOCHIAN ANGELIC BEINGS (as well as THE MATHEMATICAL KEYS OF THE ENOCHIAN LANGUAGE or ENOCHIAN COMMUNICATION KEYS useful in relaying data thereto and from). The basic system of nine (or ten counting the zero) used in the Qabalah only goes so far and it would seem that the Enochian system represents something altogether 'new' and 'alien', and something Lon Milo DuQuette says in his book Enochian Vision Magick is worth quoting here in regards to Dee's deep interest in and inspiration from the Book of Soyga:

     "Like DNA, alphanumeric squares carry an unimaginably vast amount of information in a deceptively small package. As a resident of our 3 x 3 table, the c square also carries information drawn from its position relative to the other letters and their correspondences. Can you begin to see how much information is contained in that one little square alone? Image, then, the mass of complex data that could be stored in a 36 x 36 x 36 square cube represented by the Book of Soyga

     I've discovered no evidence of a direct connection between the Book of Soyga and any of the magical workings that led ultimately to the reception of Enochian magick. Nevertheless, the fact remains that even before Dee met Kelley, the mechanics of the alphanumeric cipher system, as presented in Soyga, captured Dee's analytical imagination and had become part of the way he expected to receive divine information. Indeed, at every phase of Dee and Kelley's workings, alphanumeric squares and codes would play a major role.

     We know Dee held the Book of Soyga in high regard and was particularly preoccupied with learning the secrets of the thirty-six tables. The magical process of the Book of Soyga (shuffling and distilling immense numbers of letters and squares into smaller and smaller bis of concentrated information) would become the modus operandi by which the spirits would ultimately communicate the secrets of Enochian magick to Dee and Kelley. It would be the method by which they received the Holy Table, the Lamen, the Ensigns of Creation, the Sigillum Dei Aemeth, the Table of Nalvage, the Elemental Tablets, and, most dramatically, the angelic language and the forty-eight calls. In a way, this process is a metaphor for the mechanics of creation itself. As Carl Sagan said, "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe." In this case, our apple pie is the manifest universe - the world as it presently exists - the world Dee and Kelley wished to undestand and magically affect. 

     This world is the end product of a progression of cosmic events that physicists believe began with an immeasurably dense singularity containing all the potential information that would eventually become the universe) that burst open and set into motion the phases of creation. The immensely packed assembly of thirty six 36 x 36 alphanumeric squares found in the Book of Soyga is a crude but appropriate model for such a singularity. The intricate process of combining, shuffling, and distilling information-packed squares magically mimics the astronomical processes by which atoms and elements to stars and planets were formed in the creation cycle from seemingly chaotic units of a potential universe."

     (Note: 36³ or 46,656 is also 64 x 729, two numbers already extensively analyzed previously relating to the OMEGA POINT (9x9x9) of  8 x 8 = 64 = 'TIME', and hence a 'Singularity' in that way as well.)

     The 3 x 3 table, also known as the NUMBER CALCULATOR or 'THE QABALAH OF NINE CHAMBERS' is itself a sort of 'DATA-COMPLEX' (=333) and 'QABALISTIC HARD-DRIVE' (=666) which can be accessed at the very core, root or 'SOURCE-CODE' of THE HOLOGRAPHIC MONAD (with the proper Gnosis and Keys). Remember, both THE EVOLUTION and THE TIKKUN OLAM, i.e. 'The Reparation of the [Fallen] World' = 666 = Παραδιςος, 'Paradise', i.e. Perfection. Dion Fortune's allusion to Malkuth as a 'buoy' and 'nadir of evolution' is helpful in conceiving of Malkuth/Manifestation/Materialization/Mundane consciousness as hollow and banal yet necessarily inertial for stability and growth. Here is what she says in The Mystical Qabalah about Malkuth/Matter:

     "Malkuth is the nadir of evolution, but it should be looked upon, not as the ultimate depth of unspirituality, but as the marking-buoy in a yacht race. Any yacht that puts about on to the homeward course before it has rounded the marking-buoy is disqualified. And so it is with the soul. If we try to escape from the discipline of matter before we have mastered the lessons of matter, we are not advancing heavenwards, but suffering from arrested development."

     This again relates to the concept of THE SEED (=333) and its potential unfoldment through the TIME-STATIONS, or states of time, which are needed for demarcation and development, and hence the association between 333 and Choronzon the 'GATEKEEPER' of the Abyss as it represents the underlying structural field of formation and the implied gateways thereof. The outward material expression is the fruit or flowering of the internal connections or noumenal creative forces that subsist the origination of any phenomenal thing, i.e. the GEOMETRIC EMERGENCE of THE FRACTAL BLUEPRINT into PHYSICAL PLANE MATERIAL in the INFINITE FORMATIONS of INFINITE INFORMATION. THE HOLOGRAPHIC MONAD at the center of the Hieroglyphic Monad being a 'Singularity' or 'Omega Point' precipitates THE PURE SIMULACRA (i.e. Malkuth) of THE SIMULATED EXISTENCE for the FRACTAL EXPANSION  of THE CROWN OF EXISTENCE (I.e. Kether). By backtracking through THE LUNAR LOOPHOLE of The Dracontia (The Eye of the Dragon) one can find the end of the Astral Thread and follow it back through to the source through the aggregate channels that comprises the ORGANIZED FORM of the THE GRAND SINGULARITY.
