Today is Tuesday, January 5th, 2016. Before beginning with Chapter 1. Asana in Liber ABA we are going to read First Lecture-First Principles from Section 1-Yoga for Yahoos of Eight Lectures on Yoga (1939) because instead of being read separately later on I think it is necessary to include here as these lectures will be found very useful at the outset while Yoga is already being discussed. What follows then is this lecture, continuing into Chapter 1 (@15:19).
I have already been finding these simple practices (reading aloud and contemplating) to stirring within me the forces which still need mastery and direction if not complete expulsion. The primary reason for doing this recitation is to fill in any gaps regarding this material that may have been skipped over, forgotten or whatever I may not have been able to comprehend upon first reading. This itself is an act of discipline as well as education, but the primary obstacles have already starting making themselves known. The emphasis on sitting mindfully alone in quiet for a protracted period of time (beginning usually 10-15 minutes) cannot be overstated. Sleep alone is not adequate enough in 'decompressing' the waking mind, a waking countermeasure must be effected for imbalance to be a) noticed, and b) dealt with accordingly in the waking state.
Further linking this with the Gnosis of 666, which is the Power of the Sol, Soul and Self, we see that 666 is entirely bound up with the Η Φρην, The 'Phren', the physical/lower mind as well as its liberation in higher spirituality. 666 being the number of the Ο Διαβολος Σθ, The Devil-Set, The Beast or Adversary is also typical of the Αποδασμο, 'Division' of these planes and the mind itself - particularly the lower or subconscious dark-side thereof. 666 is not only the Light of the Mind, it is also THE THOUGHT-SPACE itself, which BY BREATH CONTROL and DYNAMIC BREATHING TECHNIQUES we want to clean up, purify and regain control of. Knowing the dynamics of language, one's own operating system, conveys the knowledge of the DYNAMICS OF THOUGHTS which can convey deep understanding and methods of handling them to MASTER CREATIVE THOUGHT. These are also THE DYNAMICS OF MAGICK RITUALS.
Being the determinative of COGNITION itself, 666 symbolizes that 'factor infinite & unknown' which science seeks to replicate but never fully will in a genuine way. This number and all its correspondences delineates THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE HUMAN MIND, the entire HUMAN PSYCHOLOGICAL SYSTEM which I am also in the process of unveiling for LINGUISTIC PSYCHOLOGISTS and THE FUTURE PSYCHOLOGIST who will have found the unification of Mathematics, Linguistics, Psychology, etc. to be useful for the synthesis of knowledge and understanding. Though THE LINGUISTICS utilized here are primarily English-based, the Gnosis extends to all languages as has been shown in previous posts. THE COMPUTATIONAL BRAIN has increasingly gained momentum as an idea with the advent of Bioinformatics and the other technological advancements of biology and medicine.
That every phenomena, within the brain or without, is apprehendable by a mathematical or numeric formulae shows further what Crowley said about Magick being not only every act whatsoever, but that with the right force in the right mode on the right object can produce the right effects, all of which can be reduced to mathematical formulae (and thence again to the binary relationship between I/O). This is not to say that everything is but a 'computer simulation' and that we are nothing but automatic reflexes amounting to 'codes' and 'formulae', though indeed much is, but that it is what is in-between, that which is uniting the subject and object (through Yoga, Union) which is of prime importance.
