"Our work is therefore historically authentic; the rediscovery of the Sumerian Tradition." -Aleister Crowley
Aleister Crowley openly expressed his opinion that for humankind to truly break beyond the self-induced boundaries of the human condition and modern predicament contacts with Higher Intelligences would need to occur. Kenneth Grant quotes him in the beginning of Outer Gateways (1994) from the postscript of Chapter XXX of Magick Without Tears:
"My observation of the Universe convinces me that there are beings of intelligence and power of a far higher quality than anything we can conceive of as human; that they are not necessarily based on the cerebral and nervous structures that we know, and that the one and only chance for mankind to advance as a whole is for individuals to make contact with such Beings."
The connection between demonology and ufology has been noted by many, especially Kenneth Grant, but more nuances and connections have become apparent in the collation of formulae regarding both subjects. The formulae I am referring to are not merely the numerical formulae of The Qabalah of Nine Chambers (111-222-333-444-555-666-777-888-999), nor even their broken-down components, i.e. 1+110, 20+202, 300+33...etc. Such 'parsing' is what gives any formula or code meaning. Note: 'MEANING' = 159 = 'MATHEMATICAL'. 1-5-9 is one of many numerical 'VEILS' (=111) of THE (19) + QABALAH (140) hinting at the holographic source-code containing the 'Beginning'-'Middle'-'End' of THE AZOTH (111) / QUINTESSENCE (999) / Alpha et Omega '. Considering the fact that 666 (and THE QABALAH OF NINE CHAMBERS as a whole) encompasses the fields of ancient magic/hermetic philosophy, modern technology and future developments, it can be used as a tool to analyze conceptual data from virtually any frame of reference. 666 - 'CONNECTION' (330) = 'REFLEX' (336). This is a simple example of how the SUM (666) of a Chamber can be used as a point from which to deduce and extrapolate numerical, and thus conceptual, reflexes. This is where having a good database comes in handy to better expand the potential connections with which one can expand the conceptual data-sets.
Using this method of induction I have surveyed the demonological and ufological literature (along with the psychological and mythological literature) and found Qabalistic analysis of them to provide continuity as well as practical applicability or pragmatic virtue in the rendering of usually 'occult' and 'out there' subject matter increasingly relative and associable with other sympathetic factors/vectors. For example, 666 contains The MYTH OF THE SUN embedded within, as well as RA & SET, the dual aspects of the Solar deity. From the TIME OF THE SUN and the DIRECTIONS of the Light the MAGICAL TIMINGS used in Ceremonial Magic can be determined, and it was this ancient realization and reckoning that brought about the beginning of agriculture, history, civilization, etc. The notion of the ancients having 'received' their knowledge 'from the Gods' (Egy. 'NETERU'=666) could indicate a recognition of such 'higher knowledge' reflected in the lower planes and cycles. The forces of space and time, i.e. the 'GOD-FORCES'/MAGICK FORCES of Nature are combined in THE FORMULA OF SPACE-TIME, 666, which stripped of its cultural accretions still has many geometrical properties that renders it useful in a number of calculations being as it is the numeric expansion of 6, or the Hexagon/Hexagram. The hexagon is 6 x 60 in THE CIRCLE of 360. 6 is Tiphareth on the Tree of Life, the center of the Middle Pillar and the central focus of Yetzirah or the Formative World. Again, it is the 'Axle' of THE AXLE OF THE AEONS, or in Gnostic parlance, THE AEON OF THE AEONS. There is a special connection between the Sun and Saturn (i.e. as Kronos, the 'Ring Pass Not' of Time, or Space-Time) in 666 which represents the 'Keys of the Kingdom' and of both Heaven and Hell. 666 as the number of the Beast is obvious, but it is also the Greek Παραδισος, 'Paradise' or Heaven/Perfection. Alexander Hislop, in The Two Babylons, identifies Nimrod with Saturn, and being the great HUNTER he is also equated with 666.
The queen of Assyria, given the legendary title 'Queen of Heaven', SEMIRAMIS also equals 666 - yet Hislop does not seem to have applied gematria to notice, and neither did Kenneth Grant seem to have noted it in his books despite having likely one of the most extensive gematric indexes at the time, though as I have shown there were and are many seemingly obvious yet unrecognized formulae. Semiramis and Tammuz may also have been the basis for the Mother Isis and Child Horus / Madonna and Christ-child motif. "While Saturn, therefore, is the name of the beast, and contains the mystic number, Lateinos, which contains the same number, is just as peculiar and distinctive an appellation of the same beast. The Pope, then, as the head of the beast, is equally Lateinos or Saturn, that is, the head of the Babylonian "Mystery." When, therefore, the Pope requires all his services to be performed in the "Latin tongue," that is as much as to say that they must be performed in the language of "Mystery"; when he calls his Church the Latin Church, that is equivalent to a declaration that it is the Church of "Mystery." Thus, by this very name of the Pope's own choosing, he has with his own hands written upon the very forehead of his apostate communion its divine Apocalyptic designation, "MYSTERY--Babylon the great." Thus, also, by a process of the purest induction, we have been led on from step to step, till we find the mystic number 666 unmistakably and "indelibly marked" on his own forehead, and that he who has his seat on the seven hills of Rome has exclusive and indefeasible claims to be regarded as the Visible head of the beast.
The reader, however, who has carefully considered the language that speaks of the name and number of the Apocalyptic beast, must have observed that, in the terms that describe that name and number, there is still an enigma that ought not to be overlooked. The words are these: "Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast--for it is the number of a man" (Rev 13:18). What means the saying, that the "number of the beast is the number of a man"? Does it merely mean that he has been called by a name that has been borne by some individual man before? This is the sense in which the words have been generally understood. But surely this would be nothing very distinctive--nothing that might not equally apply to innumerable names. But view this language in connection with the ascertained facts of the case, and what a Divine light at once beams from the expression. Saturn, the hidden god,--the god of the Mysteries, whom the Pope represents, whose secrets were revealed only to the initiated,--was identical with Janus, who was publicly known to all Rome, to the uninitiated and initiated alike, as the grand Mediator, the opener and the shutter, who had the key of the invisible world. Now, what means the name Janus? That name, as Cornificius in Macrobius shows, was properly Eanus; and in ancient Chaldee, E-anush signifies "the Man." By that very name was the Babylonian beast from the sea called, when it first made its appearance. *
* The name, as given in Greek by Berosus, is O-annes; but this is just the very way we might expect "He-anesth," "the man," to appear in Greek. He-siri, in Greek, becomes Osiris; and He-sarsiphon, Osarsiphon; and, in like manner, He-anesh naturally becomes Oannes. In the sense of a "Man-god," the name Oannes is taken by Barker (Lares and Penates). We find the conversion of the H' into O' among our own immediate neighbours, the Irish; what is now O'Brien and O'Connell was originally H'Brien and H'Connell (Sketches of Irish History).
The name E-anush, or "the Man," was applied to the Babylonian Messiah, as identifying him with the promised seed of the Woman. The name of "the Man," as applied to a god, was intended to designate him as the "god-man." We have seen that in India the Hindoo Shasters bear witness, that in order to enable the gods to overcome their enemies, it was needful that the Sun, the supreme divinity, should be incarnate, and born of a Woman. The classical nations had a legend of precisely the same nature. "There was a current tradition in heaven," says Apollodorus, "that the giants could never be conquered except by the help of a man." That man, who was believed to have conquered the adversaries of the gods, was Janus, the god-man. In consequence of his assumed character and exploits, Janus was invested with high powers, made the keeper of the gates of heaven, and arbiter of men's eternal destinies. Of this Janus, this Babylonian "man," the Pope, as we have seen, is the legitimate representative; his key, therefore, he bears, with that of Cybele, his mother-wife; and to all his blasphemous pretensions he at this hour lays claim. The very fact, then, that the Pope founds his claim to universal homage on the possession of the keys of heaven, and that in a sense which empowers him, in defiance of every principle of Christianity, to open and shut the gates of glory, according to his mere sovereign will and pleasure, is a striking and additional proof that he is that head of the beast from the sea, whose number, as identified with Janus, is the number of a man, and amounts exactly to 666.

Higher Intelligences in Qabalistic terms could refer to any of the INTELLIGENCES above the Sphere of Malkuth. Each of the Sephiroth has specific Intelligences with varying qualities and rarifications, which for mundane consciousness to recognize it must apprehend on their own levels rather than expect Higher Intelligences and their numinous energies to descend to such a restrictive and in some cases, oppressive plane or state of mind as that of a human in whatever stage of Initiation if any. Since 666 is THE HOLOGRAPHIC MONAD and THE CHAINS OF THE ABSOLUTE that emanate therefrom, there is still a capacity for THE WHITE LIGHT (111) of the Gnosis or 'THE MANA' (magic power) to descend via the Monadic Chains. When conceived of not merely as dense 'Chambers' of data, but dynamic 'Monadic Chains' of the Absolute the numeric cells become connectory channels for the weaving of future cycles or shells. We do this every day by way of the fact that EVERY ACT IS A MAGICAL ACT, and thus Qliphothic in that Magick is the science of controlling the Qliphoth. Recognition of the THE MAGIC KEY (=111) and the CYCLIC LAW underlying all phenomenal manifestation is a continual process as THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE UNIVERSE expands with INFINITE FORMATIONS and INFINITE INFORMATION (פאנתהעס).
In The Oracle of Geomancy by Stephen Skinner a good summary is given as to how communication with the archetypal angelic or demonic aspects of mundane, earthly forces can be made:
 |
| Note: NOTATION = 269 = GEMATRIA. |
He suggests that there exist "intelligences" which are either beings with a separate existence (elementals) or parts of the subconscious mind of the diviner of which he is not normally aware (intuition if you like).
It does not matter to the theory whether the communicating spirit so called is an objective entity or a concealed portion of the diviner's mind as both are abstract concepts, each as likely to be as real as the other. We assume that these intelligences are able to reply, within limits to the questions asked. Otherwise it makes no sense to say that accurate information which was not previously known consciously by the diviner can be obtained from a purely mechanical operation. Anyway, if you take the attitude when divining that you are dealing with intelligences external to your own mind (whether it be true or not) this helps to "distance" the question and helps to prevent interference by your own hopes and desires. (It is necessary for the diviner to banish from his mind all interest in the out ome if the divination is to be accurate and unbiased.)
Now to communicate with these "intelligences" it is necessary to have a kind of shorthand, "a compendium of hieroglyphs sufficiently elastic in meaning to include every possible idea." Crowley assumes that these will be understood by intelligences with whom we wish to communicate in the same sense as it is by ourselves; that we have therefore a sort of language.
Now the answers to questions in divination cannot be conveyed directly (except in the case of spoken oracles such as at Delphi in ancient Greece) but must be conveyed by the standard "hieroglyphs" of the form of divination being used. These in turn have to be interpreted by the diviner in terms of the problem, as it is not possible to have enough "hieroglyphs" to answer every conceivable question in specific detail.
The system of symbols can vary from the almost unlimited combination of symbols of horary astrology, through the 78 cards of the Tarot, the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching to the 16 figures of Geomancy, but each system must be flexible enough to give a complete representation of any outcome or relationship in the universe, so they can be employed to answer questions at any level of truth or complexity."
This is essentially the mechanical basis of Sigil Magick, whereby a formula is converted to a sort of subconsciously absorptive shorthand 'seed' (Hence, THE SEED = 333 = THE MAGICKAL TALISMAN = THE CELESTIAL SEALS) By 'embedding' this seed-code into the SOURCE-CODE of the natural matrix THE QUANTUM GLUE of THE PROJECTIVE CONTINUUM is correspondingly altered. This orientation of DIRECTIONS on the internal level of the MAGNETIC ENERGY CENTER recalibrates THE PURE SIMULACRA that is the 'illusion' of Maya/Malkuth. The Ars Notoria or Notary Art of Solomon, as well as the Steganographia of Trithemius are both analagous methods of 'magical shorthand', however with the addition of the Hebrew-English Gematria system as utilized here I have been able to further expand and update the many different areas of Magical computation, especially in the more difficult to 'assimilate' system of Enochian, as developed by John Dee and Edward Kelley and further updated by Aleister Crowley, the Golden Dawn, etc.
These ENOCHIAN COMMUNICATION KEYS still needs time to incubate while THE ENOCHIAN LIBRARY of various literature on the subject is more fully qabalistically analyzed. Suffice to say, the ENOCHIAN ANGELIC BEINGS seem to be highly compatible with this mode of analysis leading me to wonder if the Hebrew-English Gematria formula was anticipated and necessary to be applied in this connection. The 'Enochian' literature goes back to The Book(s) of Enoch, the Apocrypha, and the Gnostic texts which themselves are still not fully translated or historically understood, yet they will be shown to be inextricably linked with many facets of the modern 'UFOlogical' subject as further posts proceed. (See also Monolithic A.I. Alien Invasion.)This Key has already been identified as directly connected to the prophesized Key of It All mentioned in LIBER L VEL LEGIS, to which Achad initially discovered in his addition of Aleph to Lamed, thus subsequently unveiling many mysteries contained therein, and then the Qabalistic Keys hitherto arrived at through its influence and direction. The Work of the Egg mentioned in Liber 729, The Amalantrah Working is likely a harkening back to the 'Enochian' Work of Dee and Kelley, which like much of Crowley's Workings, were left unfinished. There is still much to be done, but these Keys must be presented to open the doorways for the future unfolding of the Mysteries in their next phase.
