Over the Rainbow

One of the most important tasks of the Initiate is to develop the inner sight to such a degree that they can perceive the 'light higher than eyesight', the astral light of the akasha. This light is that which illumines the darkness of the mind, and in fact - the darkness of eternity. It is the most subtle of the energies that compose the universe and can be thought of as the thread or string of the fabric of reality/string theory - that which connects everything, and is everything.
As should be known by now, the most basic of spectrums is the numerical spectrum. The relative appearance of the letters in their sequence, whether Hebrew, Greek, English, etc. makes a matrix or 'womb' in which certain things have their place, much as anything else has its place depending on the laws and constants that make them so. Therefore, a language can be a veritable akashic record of those who operate within its hold. Is it any surprise then that any number of examples I have thus far shown happen to be the way they are? Would the skeptic still scoff at the suggestion that gematria can be seen as an actual science, even though it may be metaphysical, and not a 'pseudo-science', and at the same time a divinatory tool to be used as an A¹N⁵⁰T⁹A¹H⁵K²⁰A¹R²⁰⁰A¹N⁵⁰A¹ (= 339), or bridge connecting the higher spiritual realm/mind with the lower material realm/mind, much as the R²⁰⁰A¹I¹⁰N⁵⁰B²O⁷⁰W⁶ (=339) has long been said to do and symbolize? It is this C³O⁷⁰M⁴⁰M⁴⁰U⁶N⁵⁰I¹⁰O⁷⁰N⁵⁰ (= 339) we as living beings seek, and are indeed alive to experience in the first place.

Speaking of THE⁴¹⁰ RAINBOW339 (=749), (as I have a bit already), it should be known that it is synonymous with the ASTRAL LIGHT (=749), and it is a multiple of 107 (x7), a number I have covered extensively. Another key to 107 in connection with what I am discussing in this section is that it enumerates V.A.L.I.S. (6+1+30+10+60), the abbreviation for Vast Active Living Intelligence System, a sort of demiurgic entity that appears in the book (titled VALIS) by science-fiction author Phillip K. Dick. I have a friend who wrote a blog about the connection between Light, VALIS, and the color pink who has greatly influenced my own astral and magickal awakening and I very much recommend it. (LINK) She too is on to the trail of this mystery of the egg. And again, further connection to all this is the fact that 749 is the number of AL.III.51 "Purple beyond purple; it is the light higher than eyesight." in the New Aeon English Qabalah cipher. [Copy, paste, and verify at this LINK.] [I have already noted that THE COLOR PINK = 943 = PURPLE BEYOND PURPLE in previous posts, but want to mention it again here for the sake of comprehension.]

The title of this post, Over the Rainbow, is an obvious allusion to The Wizard of Oz. The occult roots of this book and film, as well as it's author Lyman Frank Baum (a noted Theosophist), are well-known to many. The story is an allegorical tale of the seeker on the path to enlightenment, a golden path leading to the Emerald City in the center of the Land of Oz, a path that is fraught with many obstacles. One of the first things to be noticed is that after Dorothy finds herself in the Land of Oz in the movie version, the world has all of a sudden shifted from dull black and white to full vibrant color. This is a reference to the astral light which is infinitely more brilliant in comparison to the light of mundane vision. The yellow and red brick roads are a references to the paths one may take - that of enlightenment, and that of carnal desire. Even though there are only two roads, the yellow brick road is likened to the 'Golden Path' of Buddha, the middle path of moderation, or via media, in which some level of self-indulgence must be experienced for the karmic kinks to be worked out and balanced. For more info regarding the subtle meanings of the story, this link is a good read. 
Also, it is a well known fact that the 1973 Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon can sync up with the movie if you start it at a certain point in the beginning of the movie. Note again the appearance of light, color, and prism on the album cover. The musicians deny having put any thought behind the apparent synchronicity, so it must be assumed that it is just yet another example of sychromystic cross-connection through disparate ideas and times.

Instead of going on about things that have already been said, I want to go into the deeper meaning behind the phrase 'over the rainbow'. On the Tree of Life, the rainbow/color spheres is known as the ruach. The Ruach is the region which rules the intellect of man (from Chesed [4] to Yesod [9]). In Hebrew it generally means 'wind', 'breath', or 'spirit', it is essentially the consciousness itself. Therefore, over the rainbow are the purely spiritual spheres of the Supernal Triad/Holy Trinity. While the entire Tree is a map of the Soul, spirit and body in it's entirety, the lowest part - Nephesh - refers to the base aspects of the life of the body; the senses, actions, and desires, also called the 'Animal Soul'. The higher aspects that correspond to Binah, Chokmah, and Kether are Neshamah, Chiah, and Yechidah, respectively. Neshamah refers to the principle of the soul that 'God' breathed into Adam/Man in his formation/birth. (Gen. 2:7), the 'Higher Soul', and refers to Self. Chiah, (also called Qi, or Chi) is the life force. Chiah is closest to the Source, Yechidah, the unity that all of manifestation has in common at its spiritual beginning.
Each aspect of the above is distinct, though they are not necessarily to be considered as separate. They all arise spontaneously in and of themselves by the very nuclear force of their non-existence implying their existence.. As Crowley notes in his Confessions (pg. 814) that Daath is the crown of the Ruach, although it really holds no position on the Tree at all. It is merely the abyss, or chasm, which separates the personal consciousness from the impersonal parts above. It is the Crossing, or the Door, into, or out of, the World. In this same section he notes how modern scientists, most of whom are non-initiates, are coming closer to many realizations that are pretty much the same thing the Qabalists have been coming to terms with for ages. The problem is this knowledge cannot just be given, it has to be gotten.

It is the aim of any spiritual practice to consciously align these aspects of the soul to achieve yoga/union and transcendence. The full alignment of all these components enables one to align themselves consciously with the current of T⁴⁰⁰H⁵E⁵ C³O⁷⁰S⁶⁰M⁴⁰I¹⁰C³ C⁸H⁵R²⁰⁰I¹⁰S⁶⁰T⁹ (=888), or the Chrysos(=107) , the one anointed by the Spirit of Gold (GOLD = 107), Gold being THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE⁽⁼⁸⁸⁸⁾. The Cosmic Christ, which Ιησους (Jesus) = 888 is the archetype, is synonymous with Metatron's Cube (Μετακυβον = 888), as well as Ηαρποκρατης  (Harpocrates, 888), the god of silence - the silence of THE AKASHIC EGG OF MAAT (-It's All In the Egg-), THAT WHICH IS NOT. 888 shows the Divine Plan of Fractal Geometry 

within The Number Sequence of Simple Gematria / English Gematria / Jewish Gematria, or any other form of Occult Gematria, such as the one I have developed and used in this blog combining them all. Therefore, Jesus/The Cosmic Christ is that level over the rainbow, The Trinity - beyond the Matrix, outside the circles of time and light. Therefore, 888 is THE SUPREME CODE of the alphabet based on THE NINE NUMBERS, showing very well that THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. Simple reading of these words may do much to help show the way, but the way must be traveled if one is to fully break free. The allegorical martyrdom of Jesus having been crucified on The Cross of the elements is meant to show how one is to let go of the material plane and find salvation in the higher planes of spirit. As I have said, the cross is meant to show the raising of the material (horizontal) plane up along the spiritual (vertical) plane. 888 inevitably implies 999, another number I have covered, which signifies that which is BEYOND THE LIGHT, THE OUTSIDE ONES, whose mode of operation is via THE SUBTLE BODY - THE LIGHT BEYOND. Therefore, Lucifer, the light bearer & the morning star, is co-equal with Jesus as an over the rainbow principle. 999 is also the number of a spelling of L⁷⁴U¹³Sh³⁶⁰I²⁰F¹²E¹⁰R⁵¹⁰ in full, as well as The Transcendental Number of THE ALL POWERFUL ONE. 

All the numbers of the spectrum are important to the whole, and no one should be considered as exclusively evil. 888 is the triple infinity, 999 is the triple fullness returning back to unity. Furthermore, as I noted in The Double Wand of Power, the 999 + 1 brings everything to completion and fulfills the first whirling motion of Aleph. The Fool, through his various experiences then makes it back to the  unity of Yod and becomes The Hermit, or more aptly, The Wizard... The Wizard of OZ. Oz77, being the MAGICK (=77) formula of Man becoming GOD (=77). 
"There is no God but Man" - Liber OZ.
77 is also the number of VIA MEDIA, the middle way mentioned above in connection with the Golden Path. The middle way is one's True Will itself, aligned and balanced predominantly by the ANAHATTA, or Hearth chakra, the central chakra which is synonymous with the solar power-zone Tiphareth whose ultimate formula is Love. The middle way is central to Taoism77,  and so Man is in the middle between GOD77 and BEAST77. Matter77 is the medium in which Adam Kadmon77 becomes Christ77 through the blending of opposites on the middle way. Thus, the Hexagram which blends the opposites (FIRE+WATER, [LHT = 44 + DLI = 44 = 88 = AKASHA / 221+221 = MAAT]), is coterminous The Akashic Egg of Maat in that the Pentagram signifying Akasha (Hé = 5) implies its next of kin 6 (HA), per the formula of colel. Further, 77 is the number of the Caduceus, which also fuses the opposing termina of Ob and Od, as well as the Egg + Nest which veils the formula of manifestation and AL.I.8. 77 is the number of verses of both Parson's Liber 49 and Nema's Liber Pennae Praenumbra. 
The point to be gotten from this all is that 77 shows the mirror-nature of light/color/maya.
The 78 leaves of the Book of Thoth shows the 1 in the midst of this, and the name of the force making all this so is called 'Mezla', which is defined as 'The Influence through the Paths...descending from beyond Kether'. Mezla comes from the root מזל, which means 'destiny', 'fate', 'soul-root', and 'constellation'. Its number is also 77 (40+7+30) showing further the connection with the True Will. Mezla also expands into Mazalot, the Hebrew word for the Sphere of the Zodiac and Astrology (מזלות). This expresses how the influence from 'beyond Kether' manifests itself infinitely in everything as shown above in the Tree of Life. The number of מזלות is 483, the number of AIN SOPH AUR, that which is 'beyond Kether', AZOTH - the 'universal solvent', אבנ שלימה - 'The Perfect Stone' mentioned by Frater Achad to symbolize the whole of Manifestation. 483 is also the number of 'Astrologer', as well as 'The Space-Marks' which Nuit says not to confound (AL.I.52.) 483 is also the number of ATALAN, a secret word mentioned in verse 834 of Liber OKBISh. (See pg. 483 of The Ninth Arch.)

After all this, what I am showing is not my proficiency in calculating gematria... anyone with their own gematria database can do that. What I am trying to show is what you can do with it and how you can create a magical universe if you put it all to use and awaken your inner sight to navigate and strengthen it. The astral light is the rainbow, as I said above, but it is it's dark/inner reflection. The rainbow bridge (Sanskrit: Antahkarana) that connects man with the gods/God is appears in many traditions. In Norse mythology it is known as 'Bifrost', in Qabalah it is Ruach, in Hinduism it can be seen as the chakras. The Greek personification of the rainbow is Iris, whose name we get the word for the color part of the eyes. In fact, a little more gematria shows that Ιρις = 320, which enumerates EYES (5+10+5+300), as well as CONNECTION (3+70+50+50+5+3+9+10+70+50), and EPIPHYSIS 
(5+80+10+80+10+60+10+60) - the name of The Pineal Gland (= 320 in Jewish Gematria). How's that for a connection? Furthermore, there is a deeper connection with the eye and the pineal gland. The pineal gland gets its name from its shape being similar to the pine cone. The cone is a shape closely connected with the spiral, and the eye itself receives rays of light and transfers the data to the brain via cones. The third eye receives and transmits, as do the other chakras, via conical radiances as well. The cone is also seen to be the shape of the wizard and witches hats as it spirals up into the source, or Ain, which as I have shown is synonymous with Ayin or The Eye. The number of CONE is 145 (using Kaph for C, i.e. 20+70+50+5), and is equivalent to LENS, FOCUS, and ONE EYE, all of which tie in to what I have just laid out. Are you beginning to see the structure yet from all this numerology? Can you see how everything really is tied together, and the spider web/astral record is entirely numerological? What I am trying to convey is that the mathematics of consciousness are very tightly knit. Tighter than we're normally able or willing to look. The Cone therefore shows the formula of focus making things clearer and closer in its inward spiralling direction, or farther out along its broader outward spiral. As above, so below. 

Even though things are pretty concrete down here in the lower part of manifestation, they are still highly magical and miraculous. The material plane is the densest of planes and matter is, like the young man on acid who Bill Hicks referred to, merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. Everything you do and think ripples out and affects everything else, so that really makes the material plane one of the most powerful. Life is here for you to take control and cause that ripple, and not just to make ripples, and not even just waves, but to make explosions. Indeed, man is more likely to blow everything up with his nuclear ability to decimate and obliterate his very home and family than stay here and keep smelling the flowers. This will not end it all for him, maybe for a little bit, but he will find another home soon enough. The reincarnating ego must perpetuate itself. There is no other way. The universe is just one big ego and we are each one of its eyes. Our lives and deaths are but winks. Life is but a dream and death is the awakening. You can awaken while alive, but it takes more than just waiting. To do so is what confers one as an initIate. We all ate the fruit from the Tree in the midst of the garden (though we cannot remember), so must we face the penalty for that 'sin' by facing death. 
This mentioning of a tree in the garden bearing 'forbidden fruit' is not meant to be taken literally. It is an allegory for a very real situation which can be seen to be mathematical. The 'garden' of Eden, also called Paradise is the perfect state of the undifferentiated AIN or nothingness preceding manifestation. In a glyph: the 0. The 'Tree' of Knowledge (of Life and of Death) is the mathematical point within the circle. The circle is Nuit, the infinite expanse. The point, or DOT (DOTh/Daath, Knowledge) is Hadit. This dot is not just a spark of light in the darkness. It is, as Harriette Curtiss says in The Key to Destiny "...a tremendous batter of force whose creative energy, if used under the guidance of his [i.e. Hadit's/Man's] Divine Teachers, could be used gradually to develop and unfold all his God-powers." ...
"But in his early days of ignorance as to what life-forces were needed and how they should be used, this was too dangerous a center to be played with. Man was like a child who had been placed in a room with a powerful electrical apparatus which was to be used for his education and who, until the teacher could explain and the child comprehend, was told not to touch it lest it kill him; for only as he was directed how to use it by his teacher (...God) could it yield to him its wonderful power with safety to himself." ... "We have seen Him sending all the magical forces of the universe to turn the experience of their mistakes into good; to heal their self-inflicted wounds and cure their self-created diseases; to unfold them and draw them Godward, that out of the very suffering which their creation of evil entailed they should the more quickly realize the outpouring of Divine Love and Compassion, as a loving Mother nurses and comforts the disobedient child who has burned itself by playing with fire, in spite of her positive warning. In short, “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son (the divine One Life) that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have Eternal Life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” The mandate “Thou shalt surely die” was a blessing, for to live eternally in the chaos man’s disobedience had created would have meant the eternal torment and suffering of imperfection. Everlasting Life must be the harvest of many deaths." 

'The Big Bang' as so many scientists love to toss around is essentially this, though many who are not able to see it from beyond a linear perspective think it happened in some far distant aeon. Time and space are not linear, nor are they spherical. If anything they can be considered as toroidal, though that is not quite exactly the case either, at least as far as we are able to conceive regarding the material plane. It is best to say they just simply ARE, and that in essence IS 'The Big Bang'. Perhaps if looked at gematrically, we can make some observations.
THE BIG BANG = 481, which is the number of Αναριθμος, which is Greek for 'Without Number', or 'Boundless'. Arithmos means 'Number' and equals 430, and corresponds to Κετερ (Kether), Μονος (One), Μαθηματικα (Mathematics), and Νομος (Law). Therefore, AN-Arithmos means the opposite of One, the opposite of Kether (i.e. the Ain). 481 is also Απαλαγμενος, which translates as 'Free', or 'Without Bounds', 'Devoid', or 'Lawless'. Furthermore, 481 is the number of Η Γενεσις, 'The Creation', which is precisely what THE BIG BANG refers to. In Jewish Gematria, 481 enumerates Manifestation, Fortune, and Ray, showing even more connections between that which Is, and its mode of operation. Note also that 481 reduces to 13, the number of Frater Achad whose discoveries regarding the word Manifestation are being worked out in my work. It should be noted that 588 (NOTHING) minus 481 = 107.

Let's now dive into the mirror, which I've mentioned above. The mirror has long been an object of magic and mystery, and many myths have made their way through the minds of men regarding it. The Chinese myth of the Fauna of Mirrors says that the mirror veils an entirely different universe full of it's own fauna, or beings, all living their own completely alien physics and attributes. (Alien in relation to us.) In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his reflection, and thus became the first narcissist. And Perseus was able to decapitate Medusa by using his polished shield as a mirror to avoid looking directly at her. Note that MIRROR = 720 = Μεδουσα. It is said vampires have no reflection in a mirror, and that would be because they are lifeless and really have nothing to reflect. The number of the MIRROR is 720, which is also the number of Νους, which means 'Mind', and is pretty much the Ruach mentioned above as it is the bridge that connects The All with all its contents. The principle which is beyond reflection is the Soul which is, once again, over the rainbow. It is immaterial and uncreatable (except by its own volition). This is what makes a vampire a qliphothic shell and ultimately hollow, because it does not have this 'spark'. It is of the dark.

All of this shows why 7 is such an important number in everything. It is perfect. It is the colors in between the dual polarities of black and white (making 9). The 0 then is rightly attributed to the absence. This absence is not empty, for it is the all. It is the egg. It's All in the Egg.

This phrase comes from The Wizard Amalantrah at the end of his first communication documented on January 20, 1918 in Liber 729 - The Amalantrah Working. The egg features prominently in this working, and Frater Achad (Arcteon) followed the egg until his death in 1950. Two years previously he made the discovery that the Egg was the symbol of The Perfect Stone mentioned above and heralded the Incoming of the Aeon of Maat on his 62nd birthday (April 2, 1948) - 63 years before I chanced upon an egg 107 years after the dawning of The Aeon of Horus on April 2, 2011 (unware of all this at the time). This all has come to show me that the Babe in the Egg is alive and kicking, and it is through this manifest0 that it is coming into manifestation.

The egg was said to be in Egypt, the home of the Mysteries of Hermes/Thoth. Egypt, the land of gold, enumerates to 107, as does Gold, BITzH ('egg'), OVAL, and THE MAGICK EGG. The Egg I received is an obsidian egg, The Egg of Mu.

On February 2, 1918, Arcteon asks the Wizard a series of questions. He asks The Wizard what his true number is, and he is given the number 103. The Wizard goes to say that he (103) was not yet a living man, but represented a white man named Haman and gave the number 107, which is that of the 'angel ruling Leo', and that he would 'carry on certain work'. The next day, Arcteon writes of a vision Therion (Crowley) had which ended with a 'cross on a key-ring', which may refer to the Ankh. (Note that 76 [ANKH/WILL/AL.II.76 Cryptogram] + 31 [AL/LA/Key to Liber Legis] = 107.) Later in the questioning, The Wizard again mentions the unborn man, and then after some visions The Wizard shows Arcteon a mirror. Arcteon then surmises they (him, Therion, and others involved) are to go to Egypt to find a key which may be found in the center of the egg when it is broken. "We are to go to Egypt for the key. The key might be in center of egg when it is broken. It is a small golden key."

Later, on February 12th, Arcteon asks:  "Is it expedient to start to find the egg and when should we start?" Amalantrah replies: "The egg is a work which must be done - The Great Work. By doing the work we get to the Key." Amalantrah goes on to say that "The work must go on and there must be an altar, created in Egypt - starting in Egypt."..."I see the Arab, the one that was at the well some time ago. He will be at one of the corners of the altar. The king is there." Arcteon asks: "Who is the king?" Amalantrah: "I see O.I.V.V.I.O., Therion is the High Priest." Arcteon again asks: "Who is the High Priestess?" Amalantrah answers: "I see a tall rather beautiful woman, i.e. her face had a beautiful expression. She has dark hair... <<[P.S. (from Liber 729 author)]: Might well be 31-666-31.>> ... Therion knows his work, his special work and this is only the means of doing it, like speaking of the cosmos, but the egg is the special work."

After a few other things transpire in the working, on April 27th the prominence of the egg again comes up. It is now Therion asking the questions instead of Arcteon (this is told by the references to each other in the questions if close attention is payed). 

Therion: "What is the work of this week end?"

Amalantrah: "Geburah."

Therion: "Geburah applied to what?"

Amalantrah: "The Egg. The Egg is resting on the point of mountain tops, very sharp. Water around, lotus flowers on it."

Therion: "Egg is symbol of some new knowledge, isn't it?"
Amalantrah: "Gimel. Lamed." ( = spring, fountain.) [The Covenant]
Therion: "What does that mean?"
Amalantrah: "I don't know; followed symbol of mountain and lotus flower."
Therion: "How are we to break open the egg?"
Amalantrah: "In plain language it means Thou art to go this Way."
Therion: "That isn't plain language. How are we to get this new knowledge?"
Amalantrah: "Don't ask questions too fast. Sow the wild oats; go into the ... into the Mother ... to be born again." (In the midst of this, Therion interjects: "You bet, you bet.", followed by Arteon: "I think your both getting off the trolly".)
If you realize Amalantrah is a discarnate entity, or 'praeterhuman' intelligence, you can see how his words are going to be somewhat skewed by whatever apparatus is being used for his communication (which isn't always noted [at least in the online version], and here it is assumed to be by some form of telepathy) so his communication is going to be far more limited in scope and more focused and concentrated. The Egg can basically be thought of as everything I have outlined in this entire blog. It is the 0/1/Ain/Ayin/Akasha/Astral/Taoic principle. The AUM / AHAM; the I principle.
In this context, the symbol of the mountain is that exalted principle. That far off thing. 
The flower is the symbol of the Aum at the end of it. The inside of the flower/flame forever virgin and untouched. 
It is all a metaphor for the soul deep inside and underneath the material body/Malkuth.
In this case, Amalantrah is communicating a particular seed of Inner Truth to both Therion and Arcteon. They are just but too naive to see it at this point it appears.
What Amalantrah means by "Thou art to go this Way" definitively shows the formula of the Tao.
Going into the Mother to be born again is the 'reincarnating ego' being dissolved recurringly in all its infinite possibility. The kalas shed from the God and Goddess's interplay creating the Ever-Coming One is the formula of the Supernal Triad acting as three reactors perpetually interacting and creating an electric fuse which literally 'gives birth' to a virtually endless series of dimensions and creating an entire 'Over Soul' or I/0. The 'physical' dimension of 'space-time' is constructed of a series of dimensions that all come down to the various 9 'threads' that weave together the 'reality' construct of any given 'I'. (That's why I is the 9th letter of the Alphabet.)
Wake up.
I!
Anyhow, how one sided do you want to get? That's Unity. I guess maybe we could get lost in the T.V. We're all on T.V. We're in the Computer. Welcome to show, Dorothy. Get with the program. Now it's time to start acting the part. There is no dark to hide in, the light is there as long as your alive.. and then some. Over and over. You make the show.

This is Lucifer. Satan. The Demiurge. The Beast System. The SUM, (and the RADIANT Sun - 6 x 6 = 36º, 1~36 = 666) ΤΕΙΤΑΝ, ThRION, ΤΟ ΜΕΓΑ ΘΗΡΙΟΝ ('The Great Beast'), THE NET OF JEWELS, the Holy Guaridan Angel at the center of 1 ~ its reflection 11. (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11). We are all like Dorothy, stuck in the silver screen and finding our way.
But it is still an aspect of whatever you may conceive as 'God', or whatever word, symbol, or number you want to give it. It wouldn't BE if You weren't there... but you're both there...(or your not) and you are actually 1. 2 = 0. The 10 is just the shell, Malkuth of the 1. The 9 in between is the spiritual fusion. The 'chrysos' or GOLD is created, as I said, when Adam Kadmon gains 'Christ'...
This is the Ever-Coming Son, the Crowned and Conquering Child of Kether/God and Binah/Goddess who has flashed his Light into the world. That which shines, but is not reflected by itself. Thus, the Mirror is the Abyss. (Don't dive too deep.) It should now be clear exactly what is meant by vampires/qliphoth not shedding their own light. If and until they do, they are mechanical animals.
Only those with Light are really enlightened. Now, no one is 'judging' anyone one elses level of enlightenment but yourself, I am merely delineating my own Way of expressing my own Light along my own path in a way I find others may consider useful for their own way in this ever twisting world. But what I am trying to convey is that my interpretation of 'The Aeon of Maat' (=1313); Maat being the personification of Truth and Justice, Truth is that ultimate principle of Gnosis, and Justice is the Scale to which the Gnosis/Force is balanced and maintained in its place in relation to all the Forces. Thus, it's all a play of light and shadow, but the part of the soul that manifests as Ruach, or Consciousness, and then clothed in a Body, is what matters when it comes to what it is able to manifest by its Inner/3/1/0 Nature. 
The Key is Balance. 

That is the Middle Path, the Golden Path, the Path of the Fool becoming a Magician and the Wizard of OZ/GOD... - Not from 0 to 1, and not from 1 to 22 and 22 to 1, 

but from 0 to ∞ , or that of the Soul reflecting its Self and Seeing it's Light, Shadow and Rainbow, or 0=2, or You and God. The Heart Chakra/Tiphareth is the heart of Man's Soul in his spiral climb from the Spirit Seed of God/Yod as the Fool fallen from 'out of the blue' (note that blue is the first color in the scheme of the Tree of Life). He is fallen into The Entire Universe. He is unsure what is the Abyss and what is not. Eventually, he realizes he has fallen upside-down and become The Hanged Man. If he has the ability to rightly handle in his inner-most being the whiplash created by the revelation, he can pass the experience of 'crucifixion' and hold The Covenant. His next journey at this crossing/13 of Death while alive is to carry this Covenant further the  other half of the Path back up to That from which he fell. This the Grail and the Holy Covenant. The Crowned and Conquering Child (111), Mercury + 8, creating the Chrysos (888) in his carrying/Going the Golden Path and Crowning himself King of his Kingdom (999). This is the 111 becoming 1111 by matter of the Three Ray's becoming 4 by the 3's Crowning (1-Kether) and activation into the Rainbow Bridge.  Thus, 1111 is PROMETHEUS, the 'bringer of Fire', denoting when the 3 crystallizes into 4, which manifests as the 4 directions + 1 + 4 directions reflection, or the Light in the center of the 8 Rayed Star of 'Chaos' - Loop of the Cross which manifests at the Point of 'DOTh'  - the Point which is a Circle that becomes Squared, and then produces The Loop of Time and giving the Three Dimensions Life to carry the Crown of I to ∞. That is the formula of the Cosmic Christ. The Immortal I. The Re-Incarnating Ego that has reached a state of inner purity and balance and truly become not 111, but III, or 999. Death is his formula. He is no longer blinded and confused. 

9 x 9 x 9 = 729, the number of Κηφας, the 'Stone', the ATALAN Stone. (A number of ATALAN is 92, 92 + 729 = 821 = MAION. 729 is also the number of Amalantrah, as well as Arcteon (although Arcteon is given as ARKTION = 360 in the Liber.) Incidentally, the name CHARLES STANSFELD JONES enumerates to 729 as well in Hebrew-English Gematria. 729 is the OMEGA POINT.

Remember that 111 is Aleph, The Fool in Full. A is 1, + I = 10. It has it's Double Reflection (100). 1111 is Ιωτα, the Greek I/Yod, and enumerates THE ARK of the TWENTY-TWO PATHS. It is the Eye that carries it's Light. PROMETHEUS (1111) is therefore Lucifer making his appearance as Lord of the Air, and  manifesting as the Earth.  

When you dive into the Mirror you should always wear protection. You never know whats at the end of the Tunnel.... because you might find yourself in a picture that isn't so pretty. This is why THE MIRROR WORLD (=1440) happens to equal the same thing as MIRROR-MIRROR (1440), which just so happens to also be the number of both Φρουτο, 'Fruit', and Νεα Ενσαρκωση, 'Reincarnation', because the Double Wand of Power has begun the cross-connection that gives birth to the I, and the Infinity it creates. Another coinky-dink in connection with 1440 is that it is an enumeration of THE COLOR PINK, which is but the astral door back through the Colors of the Ruach created by it's own energy spectre. It is the Mauve Zone.. So the mirror goes on forever. There is no end. It is the Akashic Record of Daath/Knowledge. Thus the Egg (107) x 7 is the ASTRAL LIGHT of THE RAINBOW = 749). The Light (7) of the Chrysos (107). Chrysos is Greek for Gold and appears as Χρυσος. Its number is 1570, the number of THE MATRIX, and THE BOOK OF MAAT, THE FAUNA OF MIRRORS, and One Zero Seven^(Jewish), The Blood Of Jesus Christ. +1 = 1571, a number of my Name, as well as ANOTHER PROPHET^{(See AL.III.34)}, THE WORK OF AGES,  THE MAATRIX (The name of my Gematria Database). The Work is to bring Fresh Fever from the skies, or the Fire of Geburah out of the waters (4) of the Abyss (333, 22, 1, 0) and into the material body consciously. The drawing down of Life-fore and Soul into the Spirit and Body is the aim of the Middle Pillar ritual, which is the formula of the Golden Way. It helps focus on the Third Principle that ends up making the TRIANGLE (=699=) of THE SPIRIT and keeps the Fire

burning, as fresh fever (5, Geburah) from the Skies (Chesed), burns as the Sun (Tiphareth), achieves Victory (Netzach, becomes Mercury and realizes it is androgynous, and mirror-like nature, Finds its Foundation (9 = I), and is clothed in it's body, or Kingdom (Malkuth). All of this is The Great Work that must be done.

You can not get the Key otherwise.
The Egg is a work which must be done.

When all this is grounded and made One, the real alien/other/UFO may be encountered. When you are able to tell your own Light from any other Light Source, then you can better focus and perceive the Other-than-Thou. 13 is the Fool with his One, One, One (3). They are the Ox, and None by the Book.
13 is the Cube of Man's Soul, Thy Kaaba. It is the Egg in the Lotus. My name is 13 letters, and equals 1331 (11 x 11 x 11). I am the Mirror, the Door, and the Light of the Dark. Και Εν Εν Οκτω 'One in Eight'. "For I am perfect, being Not; and my number is nine by the fools; but with the just I am eight, and one in eight: Which is vital, for I am none indeed. The Empress and the King are not of me; for there is a further secret." (AL.II.15)...
"We have nothing with the outcast and the unfit: let them die in their misery. For they feel not. Compassion is the vice of kings: stamp down the wretched & the weak: this is the law of the strong: this is our law and the joy of the world. Think not, o king, upon that lie: That Thou Must Die: verily thou shalt not die, but live. Now let it be understood: If the body of the King dissolve, he shall remain in pure ecstasy for ever. Nuit! Hadit! Ra-Hoor-Khuit! The Sun, Strength & Sight, Light; these are for the servants of the Star & the Snake." (AL.II.21)


Every man and every woman is a star. (AL.I.3)

The World Stage

"All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players: 
They have their exits and their entrances; 

And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages." 

                             - William Shakespeare

"Life is a play of light and shadow."

                         -Swami Muktananda

The world of mundane, waking consciousness (jagrat) arises from a spectra of perceptual data received through the sensory organs. As with quantum physics, that which is perceived is necessarily distorted by the instrument perceiving it, so with the organs and the mind itself which to some extent filters the data by its own ability (or inability) to pick up and comprehend the available information. What ends up 'going through', or enters cognition, is what makes up what R.A. Wilson terms one's 'reality tunnel'. Merely a tunnel in that it is closed off in whatever degree to the rest of reality. This inability to receive certain streams of 'reality', or what have you,is not always so much an inability as it is a defense or survival mechanism. If one was fully plugged in to all things, perceiving the total interconnectedness and simultaneity of everything, one would ultimately cease to be in the state of jagrat and would enter immediately the state of susupti, or dream-less deep-sleep, void of all sensory input and mental movement. All would appear as it truly is - One as None. This state of preconceptual awareness is not normally perceived in an individual's waking life, though it is the aim of meditation and mysticism to make this state of mind more easily accessible.

Between these states lies svapna, the dream-state, whose input lies for the most part internally within the mind and only secondarily externally - in that external influences may affect it, but are perceived internally within the realms of the subtle body (i.e., Astral, Auric, Etheric, etc.) Beyond all of these lies turiya, the superconsciousness. In the Mandukya Upanishad turiya is described thus: 
Turiya is not that which is conscious of the inner (subjective) world, nor that which is conscious of the outer (objective) world, nor that which is conscious of both, nor that which is a mass of consciousness. It is not simple consciousness nor is It unconsciousness. It is unperceived, unrelated, incomprehensible, uninferable, unthinkable and indescribable. The essence of the Consciousness manifesting as the self in the three states, It is the cessation of all phenomena; It is all peace, all bliss and non—dual. This is what is known as the Fourth (Turiya). This is Atman and this has to be realized.
This almost perfectly equates turiya with what Kenneth Grant terms The Mauve Zone, as well as the state of Truth that is The Aeon of Maat. Nema notes that Maat is symbolized in the black hole and the anti-particle of the photon. This shows the level of depth to which turiya/maat lies. Grant terms the Mauve Zone as "The spaceless and timeless region 'between' dreaming and deep sleep states of consciousness which transcends the sixteen kalas and which is sometimes known as the Seventeenth Zone or kala." - The Ninth Arch, pg. 543. Similarly, Turiya is defined on page 551 as "The 'Fourth State' of Consciousness which is really no-state, as it releases from all conceptuality. It transcends altogether the worlds of body, senses, and mind." He mentioned the '17th kala', which is similar to the '23rd Atu', the non-existent zone in which the existent ones operate. Essentially the point in the omnipresent center of the Taro/Rota (Wheel of Life)/Kala wheel. This is basically what I have been describing all along, and it is the true zero point beyond 0 = 2.
Beyond the interplay of light and shadow is a higher state where duality ceases.

For various reasons, I want discuss certain connections I have found interwoven in the concepts set forth above. Anyone who has studied Crowley knows he was not only a high-level mason, but also a master at chess. Chess is a very symbolically masonic game itself, and even its checkerboard pattern is found on the temple floor. There are 64 (8 x 8) squares total equating the chess board, or 'the world stage', with the 64 permutations of the Tao (I Ching). 64 is the number of 'Change' in Jewish Gematria, and I Ching is translated as 'The Book of Changes'. Change is also the formula of Magick ("energy tending to change") and Death. 64 is also the number of Thelema in Simple Gematria, as well as True (i.e. True Will). Most importantly though, 64 is the number of 'Zero', and 'Nuit'. Zero as 8 x 8 shows the definite connection between those two numbers that I have already extensively expounded on. Grant notes the Maatian connection of 64 as:
 "...the Perfect Form of Truth', a further allusion to the connection with the Maatian Gnosis. The 'perfect form' is Maat in manifestation, i.e., in full materialization; in other words, in Matter. In confirmation of this interpretation it may be seen that 64 = ΑΛΗΘΕΙΑ, 'Truth'. And, again, and asserting the predominance of the Set complex, 64 = NBHZ, 'Anubis', the jackal-headed deity of the Avites (see II Kings xvii, 31). Note also that 46, the astral reflex of 64, equals 2 x 23, denoting the twin currents of Maat (64) and MU (46) infusing the waters of the twenty-third Path to which the Word IPSOS is attributed by the Maatians."
Anubis assists Maat in the weighing of the heart against the Feather of Truth. 8 is the last of the even numbers and its association with time and spatial dimensions attest to its balancing/weighing components. "God has arranged all things by weight, number, and measure". 8 is the ultimate height to Set's sept/7 as Isis "in her active phase (7+1), or Nu Isis." Being the number of Mercury, the scribe or messenger, it is right that GEMATRIA is 8 letters and its number 269 reduces to 8. Even the abbreviation for Mercury (Hg) = 8 [5+3].

The Magic Square of Mercury consists of 8 x 8 squares. Each row or column sums to 260, the number of Baratchial, the qliphoth of Beth/The Magus. This path not only has Mercury as its correspondence, but to add further connection 260 is the number of Tiriel, the Intelligence of Mercury. Note that 260 also reduces to 8. In Part II, Ch. 2 of Nightside of Eden, Kenneth Grant notes that 260 enumerates KMR, 'blackness', 'priest'; i.e. Black Priest/Magician, also MONNIM, 'sorcerer'. "This is the kala of the Sorcerers ... who transmit the light direct from beyond Kether to Saturn via the formula of duality. Duality is expressed zoömorphically by the twin serpents Od [11] and Ob [9], and by the ape - the shadow of the Magus who, according to tradition, distorts and perverts the Word of the Magus thus making a mockery of his work, as do the Black Brothers with their formula of duality. [i.e. illusion. It is the 1 reflected that becomes 2, Likewise 11, eleven, is the number of 'those who are of us.]" (page 163.)  

11 is the number of manifest duality, the 'Magick Force' (note Grant says Magick is the control of the qliphoth/11'). Further on in Nightside of Eden, Grant says:

"The Black Brother is double-tongued, as the serpent, which is significant, for the magical power ascribed to the obverse aspect of which this path is the tunnel, is the Gift of Tongues, the Gift of Healing, and a Knowledge of Sciences. The healing here however is a healing of the ego, which merely aggravates with illusion the disease of false identity creating thereby a chain of endless suffering. Likewise, the Sciences of which knowledge is given are the sciences of darkness. Yet it must not be supposed that these are necessarily evil, it is merely that in the hands of a Black Brother they necessarily tend to sterility because directed towards the fulfillment of wholly personal ambitions. The dark sciences of this path contain the secrets of the kalas of the void, and of that Kalinian Current which obtains in the widdershins world of anti-light."
This is interesting because the number of 'double-tongued' is that of The Double One, or The Devil - 

Διαβολος (Diablos) = 387 = Διλογος. 387 is also the number of the sciences in that it is the number of CALCULATOR, Formula, ואשף - 'Astrologer/Sorcerer', אסטרונומיה - 'Astronomy',  שביל החלב - 'The Milky Way'. In another spelling, the values of the former Greek words are 787 (Διαβολους & Διλογους), which is the number of Μαγευτικη, 'Magical', THE MAGICIAN, ZION (which in Simple gematria also = 64), and Freemasonry. This shows the multiple threads of what this post is about - that of the duality of Magick and its manifestation through either the Black or White Lodges in 'The World Stage' (Malkuth/The Mundane). Knowledge cuts both ways though, and as Grant clarifies, it is in the hands of the Black Brothers that they tend towards sterility instead of fertility. You can build starships with it, or nuclear wastelands. "There is the dove, and there is the serpent. Choose ye well!"

Referring back to the number 260, it is very significant that it is the number of LUCIFER, The Light Bearer, the promethean messenger deity of Christianity whose fall from grace turned him into The Prince of Darkness (Satan)... once again denoting the Dark/Light currents. (Note LUCIFER+SATAN = 621 = THE FALLEN ANGEL.) The name Lucifer is first used in Isaiah 14:12 as the Hebrew הֵילֵל, denoting 'the shining one', or 'Venus'. Venus is the 7th sephira, and the connection between Lucifer and 7 has been made in previous posts. There is however a secret connection here. L⁷⁴U¹³C⁷³I²⁰F¹³E¹⁰R⁵¹⁰ in Full equals 713, the number of THE ARCHANGEL, THE NUMBER, and אבדון, 'Abaddon', 'Destroyer'. 713 holds the secret to which I refer in that 7 veils the 13 by the fact that 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, the sum being 49 (~13), but more importantly, containing 13 veils going in and out of the seven. (13 is also the 7th Fibonacci number, not counting 0). This is the alchemical process of the purification of Saturn (שבתאי), which also = 713. This can therefore be seen as a qabalistic exegesis of the allegorical fall of Lucifer and the descent of Spirit into Matter (and back). Note that 713 + 64 = 777. LIBERATION (777) from THE FALSE REALITY (777)/OVLM HQLIPVTh ('World of Shells' [777]). Saturn (713) being the Lord of generations, time cycles, restriction, limits, and lower energies, along with 64 being TEN (the lowest sephira), TIME, MYTH, EDEN, and Γενεα 'Generation/Age' denotes the Eternal Truth of Change (אשליותיך, 'illusion' = 777). Note also that 64 enumerates ADM + ChVH (Hebrew for Eve), the prototypical generators from EDEN at the beginning of TIME from the Genesis MYTH manifested on TEN (Malkuth). Thus, 777 is the REVELATION (777) of THE TORAH CODE (777) which is not only found via the EQUAL DISTANT LETTER SEQUENCE (777) of the characters, but also UNUS IN OMNIBUS OMNIA IN UNO (777).

The pawns on the world stage know little to nothing of their status as such. They know not that the coin over which they battle is no more than an illusion of attainment meant only to get them to do what is needed by their Masters. Even the kings of the earth, whose currency is not the coin, but the populations themselves, hardly know the true source of wealth and the nature of their Crown. Their authority is neither divine, nor is it just. It is a mockery of Kingship, as is the Black Brother a mocker of the true Magus. The true kings of the Earth are those guided by the Light of the One Crown. "Therefore the kings of the earth shall be Kings for ever." (AL.II.58) For that reason, pay no mind to the lowly opinions and assumptions of the slaves, and heed not any false laws that impinge the Rights of Man (see Liber OZ). 

To burning flame, jagged rock, and freezing water may I be condemned,
but forever with Strength may I return therefrom.

The Double Wand of Power

"There is no being in the outermost Abyss, 
but constant forms come forth from the nothingness of it." 
                                                         -Aleister Crowley, The 10th Aethyr, Liber 418

The current magical formula working itself out in the consciousness of the present human life-wave is that of Crowley's 0 = 2. It is an ancient Chinese formula showing how Nothingness (0) implies its infinite opposite (∞) , which thereby makes 0 imply two forces. A - (negative) and a + (positive).

Qabalistically, this is played out in the schema of the Tree of Life itself as AIN (0) unfolds to DOT 

(11). This Dot is the BINDU (=72), which is the sacred symbol of HADIT. Daath is Knowledge, which 

goes both ways - as HAD is The Manifestation of Nuit - whose interplay gives rise to the Dual One Ra-

Hoor-Khuit. In AL.III.72 He says: 

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.

11 is the 1 reflecting itself - thus

The Tree of Life remember is the Tree of the Knowledge of Life and Death. The tree of life is the key of life in our soular system. Malkuth (10) is where you are in your body condensed and physical. The more subtle components lie in order of density going inward - which is outward (as above so below) - from the astral (9) to the soul itself (6) to the very connection (I) with 'God' Itself. The 1 and the 0 of Ten is that connection, and it too can be seen as an interplay of the lingam and yoni. The 10 is also the container, literally The Kingdom of the spiritual essences. THE BODY (496) equates precisely with MLKVTh (Malkuth), as does MICROCOSM. The Macrocosm is really the web or net of cosmic infinity surrounding the Malkuth (10 / HAD).

Solve (411) and Coagula (114) is the alchemical formula of the negative/dissolving factor and the positive/uniting factor, which can only be 'overcome' by Silence. 411+114 shows also the reflection that is typical, as has been shown, of DAATH (= 411). Daath corresponds to Vishuddha in the chakra system, (VISHUDDHA = 101 = ELEVEN) which is centered in the throat. 525 is 30 (L) less than 555 (HAD in Full manifestation, i.e. 10+111+434.) 30/L is the Key of Balance, literally the Scales of Maat, the way of Lam, and that of Silence. Note that 525 = 418 (Aiwass/Parzival - the Silent One) + 107 (The Egg/GOLD/Philosopher's Stone), also number of THE NINE, which I will get to. Also, 525 + 10 (HAD) = 535, which is AIN (61) + DOTh (474), THE ONE.

 555 being the central Trine of 111-999 is HAD, or the supreme Bindu. 555 is the number of THE ONE EYE, THE CONE, and THE INFINITY, which shows that 555 is an energy zone of supreme focus and power. 5 is the number of the Pentagram, of Spirit (1) over Matter (4). 1+2+3+4+5 = 15, the sum of 5 x 3. 15 is The Eye (Ayin/O). 55 is Malkuth (1~10), and 500 is Φ (Phi), THELEMA, and Παραδοξολογια – ‘Paradox’.

All of the Triple Numbers are vortexes of power. The Three is the BA, or Spirit itself, and is highly important in that it is reflected all the way through to nine, which is the end of the sequence of numbers - before reaching 10, The Body which contains it. The number 369 shows how SPIRIT is CRYSTALLIZED in THE MATRIX of Malkuth. The knowledge of this put into understanding brings Σοπηια ‘Sophia’, Wisdom (369).

GRAVITY (630) is the Κοσμικος (=630 Cosmic) force responsible for the grounding the subtle energies into atomic, planetary, and cosmic energies, and guides them in the Great Matrix (999).

Thus, The Fool (with his 111) aspires to 999 to become The Wizard where the 0 becomes filled, then 'crushed' where nought remains because the shell of the egg breaks and all is made One. 

The skin of the serpent is shed, and his vision is once again clear as the first time he opened his eyes.

The time beyond the clock is the light higher than eyesight. It is the astral dreamscape. This is the 9 or womb of the Goddess and corresponds with the back of the head (Moon/Qoph), the color purple, and the astral body. The 7 colors within the frequencies of white and black compose the color spectrum of the visual universe. BEYOND THE LIGHT (999) of these 9 components lies the 0, which is also within the 9 components as the omnipresent fabric in which the components reside - the plane of Being Itself, which as I said, infinitely implies what it isn't - which is everything. The lila, or play, of life is therefore maya, or illusion, because the true Truth is undefinable.

Kenneth Grant notes that 0=2 is ultimately an error of judgement, and that it's corollary was perceived by the sensitive Austin Osman Spare who found the true fundamental equation to be not (-1) + (+1) = 0 / 0 = 2, but the negation of both the negative and the positive to an anti-cosmic state of 'neither-neither. This reversion of negations is the nature of the AIN, as it is bound up like an accordion within itself, and has it's own dark anti-universes of its own. 

The tendency towards expression, satisfaction, lust, and love are the cause for anything to be, as it was for you to be. As it is above/within. Your material incarnation comes about through many very special forces whose miraculous alignments are the literal keys (and doors) to your very existence. 

Don't be be fooled by or pity the many many people in the dark, for no amount light you try and supply will illuminate them but their own. Work on keeping your own light shining so you can be a beacon of strength and a leader in faith to those able to follow suit. 

Tiphareth on the Tree of Life is representative of the Sun, as 6. 6 and 9 (Yesod, the Moon) denote the Spiral force travelling from the the 1 and back, and are representative of the Male and Female forces - the 23 + 23 Human Chromosomes that make up the Ladder of DNA. Thus ADM (45) + EVE (16) = 61/AIN/6+9 = 15/Eye. (61 - 15 = 46.) Note also that 61 + 46 = 107 - The Egg of MU.

The spiral is the Will/Thelema of Had. 93 (Thelema) + Had (10) = 103 = Λεξη ‘Word’, the 'unspeakable' word which Frater Achad came to express as ALLALIA, which means 'speechless, or wordless' for it is merely an expression of the true unutterable word - the breathe itself, the breath of life - of which Achad also showed is found in AL, the nasally inhale where the tongue rises to make an 'L' sound, and its release 'LA', 'LIA' can be translated as 'the bringer of', or 'messenger' (i.e. The Bringer of Life). 103 is therefore fitting for its number as The Secret, Mercury, and Enlightened.

Note that 103 is one more than my Neophyte motto (MAYAN), and is also the number of MABYN, 'The Crowned (1) Babe'. 

The current formula of 0 = 2 is being transcended by humanity, although it is for the most part sub- and supra-conscious for most. The Astral Dreamscape is shifting as well as humans divorce themselves from the natural forces and deny vehemently the reality of the metaphysical energies they themselves possess. Consequently, much energetic build-up is accumulating within people not equipped  mentally or physically (because of lack of decent health) and as to be expected, many people are losing it. The qliphothic voids of the anti-universe are becoming like fat deformed energetic ticks feeding off of the life-forces of humanity.... and boy do they have some good tasty shit to suck out of people.

The point is to find that Point within, and fortify it!

The Egg is your shield, silence your sword

The Color of Time

We are now in the 13th Baktun of the Mayan Long Count Calendar. All is well, nothing cataclysmic has happened, and no alien species have disclosed themselves to the mass populace. Yet.

For the last few weeks I have been contemplating many of the subjects I have thus far gone over and have filled in a few gaps, though the puzzle keeps unfolding the more I search. I have realized that this blog really doesn't do the subjects involved justice, but that is why I insist upon your own personal analysis and research. Much of what I have said can easily be misinterpreted as a literal truth instead of grasped for its more subtle underlying meaning, which I have to redact what I had said in the first post about speaking as clear as possible.. Such a thing is nearly impossible when discussing the aforementioned subjects, and I merely wish to point to where an answer may be found rather than try to give them myself. The written word is one of the most powerful mediums because much like a painting, it too can say more than what is superficially read. The same can be said of simple symbols, which I have utilized on many occasions. 

   In this post I want to go over some more connections and correspondences I have found dealing primarily with Time, Space, Consciousness, and Evolution - or as Grant may have it - Time/Space/Spirit/Matter.

The symbol above is the main symbol of a modern occult school known as 'Chaos Magick'. Wikipedia says it is a 'modern magical tradition which emphasizes the pragmatic use of belief systems and the creation of new and unorthodox methods', apparently quoted from John Greer's The New Encyclopedia of the Occult which actually says:

      "Chaos Magic: A diverse occult movement born in the last quarter of the twentieth century, sometimes spelled as "Xaos magic" - apparently on the principle that rejection of authority should be carried into the realm of spelling as well as that of spells. Chaos magic owes its origins largely to a work of science fiction, the Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. The trilogy, a dizzying mixture of satire, put-on, pop culture, and occultism, attacked all conceivable belief systems, presented a theory of magic that centered on sex, and drew heavily on the writings of the previously obscure Discordian movement, which worships the goddess choas. All three of these features went on to become essential to Chaos magic. . .

. . . Chaos magic differs from other occult traditions in its exclusive focus on magical technique and its rejection of theory and philosophy. Beliefs, according to Chaos magic proponents, are tools used to attain specific mental effects and nothing more; they have no validity or truth in themselves, merely usefulness for particular tasks. "Nothing is true; everything is permitted" - a saying attributed to Hassan-I-Sabbah, the founder of the Order of Assassins, and repeated often in Discordian writings and the novels of American writer William S. Burroughs - is often cited as a summary of the Chaos magic viewpoint.

   In keeping with their rejection of the validity of belief system, Chaos magicians have made much use of symbolism drawn from fantasy fiction. Many Chaos magicians use, as a symbol of their approach, some variant of the 'Banner of Chaos' from the fantasy novels of British author Michael Moorcock, which consists of eight arrows radiating from a common center. The works of Peter Carroll also include such fantasy-fiction elements as references to "octarine", the eighth color of the spectrum in Terry Pratchett's Discworld fantasy-satires, and an invocation of Azathoth, the idiot-god of primal chaos in the horror fiction of H. P. Lovecraft."

This cluster-fuck of symbolism and various belief systems I have presented in my previous posts are essentially portraying the chaotic formula of 'Nothing is true, everything is permitted'. The universe, at least of the human is pretty limited - even when you begin to look beyond the single-framed mundane conscious perspective. Only by transcending consciously the seemingly unchangeable 'laws' of physics, or mental modalities can one even begin to think 'outside the box', or be actively creative for more than a short glimpse. It is this expanded awareness that the chaos star symbolizes, and the magician embodies.

A similar ancient symbol is the Sumerian cuneiform 'Dingir' which is commonly interpreted as 'deity' or 'god/goddess'. It is primarily used to signify the Sumerian sky-god An, or Anu (the root of the word Anunnaki - 'those who from the sky/heaven came to earth (ki). As a symbol for the sky/heavens, the dingir is even further like the Chaos Star because of its implication of the 8 directions, as well as the 3 dimensions of space. It is therefore a glyph of the radiance of shakti (power), of which Kali is the god(dess)form.

The Hindu goddess Kali not only represents shakti, but her name comes from kala which refers to colors, blackness, time, and death. Before I go deeper into Kali I want to first quote from Hecate's Fountain:

  "This symbolism interpenetrates the doctrine of Space Doubles revealed in New Isis Lodge. The thesis is that every idea projected by the mind into the terrestrial dimension (earth) has a double  in space (air). This double is refracted into n dimensions. Ideational essences are vibrations which manifest as colours in the spectrum, and beyond it, and as kalas in the human light-form or space-body which - being double on earth as male and female - is fourfold in space, eightfold in the sub-ethers, sixteen-fold in the ether (akash), thirtytwo-fold in cosmic form [the Tree of Life], sixtyfour-fold in the hierophantic hierarchies of Hexagrams, and two hundred and fiftysix-fold in terms of trans-cosmic Akash awareness. The latter formulates itself as the stellar viibrations of the 13-rayed Star of Set [2+5+6=13], which reduces to the original 4 (1+3) Space Doubles." - pg. 128

Kalas are not only rays of color, but digits and divisions of time and the word calendar is derived from kālá.

In the glossary of Hecate's Fountain Grant says "Time is the source of energy that powers spacecrafts. When converted into energy, the kalas appear as the power that motivates spacecrafts and enables them to travel infinite distances in the twinkling of an eye." When you look at the multiple occurrences of the number 8 and its connection with time, space, and the cosmic kalas that these dimensions contain, you can really start to see how consciousness begins to expand and connect with everything else like a cosmic puzzle or matrix.

Kali is sometimes depicted with eight arms and standing on the Destroyer God-Shiva. The Nirvana Tantra texts says the Trimurti (Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva) all arose out of Her as like bubbles in the sea, ceaselessly arising and passing away, leaving their original source unchanged. Kali is one of the most important goddesses of the Hindu religion even though she has long been the representative of violent death, darkness, and blood because she was also a 'figure of annihilator of evil forces'. She is also revered as Bhavatārini (literally "redeemer of the universe"). As a wild, uncontrollable, chaotic cosmic force - Kali also embodies the chaos magic current. Many of Grant's books extensively refer to Kali so again I refer the reader to his books, particularly the chapters Kalas Out of Space from Outside the Circles of Time, and Out of the Abyss from Hecate's Fountain.

Another chaotic zootype is the spider, which is mythologized in the Greek myth about Arachne, the weaver. I have already went into the web of Arachne in previous posts, but there are some more things I want to mention regarding The Book of the Spider (Liber 29 - OKBISh) which is contained in The Ninth Arch. 

If you have read previous posts, as well as a significant amount of Crowley and Grant material, you will notice the recurrence of the number 13. There are 13 Holy Books in Thelema, 13 is the number of spheres in  Metatron's Cube, 13 Zodiacal symbols, it is the number of M (Mem, the Dividing Waters) letter of Magic, Mystery, Mother, Matter, Mouth, etc. Many of the important larger numbers that appear in the Thelemic and other magical Currents reduce to 13, such as 418, 616, 76/760, and 1417. In fact, 1417 is the number of THE BOOK OF THE SPIDER, THE TRIPLE ZERO (Ain Soph Aur/Endless Light), as well as the Triple Goddess (Hecate) under the MAIDEN-MOTHER-CRONE, as well as the Hebrew rendering of Metatron's Cube itself (מטטרון של קוביה).

The Arachnid is also a zootype of the Archon, or artisan. Not only are there seven archons, but there is also another primordial emanation from which the 7 came from known as Barbelo (Βαρβηλω), also referred to as 'The Triple Androgynous Name'. Her name is an earlier rendering of the Thelemic Goddess BABALON. Even the name Βαρβηλω, which equals 943, also connects to 13 because the word THIRTEEN = 943. And as the eighth, she is PURPLE BEYOND PURPLE, THE COLOR PINK. The color 'octarine' mentioned above in the quote from the occult encyclopedia is a fantastical reference to the notion of a transcendental color, or kala, which typifies the akashic realms outside the circles of time.

The black widow spider, as depicted, is one of the most venomous spiders, and as such is one of the most important symbols of the 'Typhonian Tradition'. It is interesting to note that it is the hourglass, or infinity symbol that is in blood red on the black widow - another veiled reference to the Kalinian aspect of time, blood, and death. The 8 symbolism is one of the most prevalent in such an analysis and needs special consideration as it is the number of the sephira Hod, which means Splendor (brilliance, glory, color). The paths that connect to Hod are also some of the most elusive. As Mercury, the mirroric, or mirrauric, alchemical metal, it is all about duality and reflection (remember the Grant quote about the Space Doubles). It should here be noted that the number of Kalas are 16, the reverse of KALI (61), which is also the number of ALL, as well as its opposite, AIN.

   The Spider is a totem of the the cycle of creation, death, and rebirth and there are many mythologies which revere the spider for its cunning and resourceful nature. There is Neith of Egyptian mythology who was the weaver deity who wove all of the world and existence into being on her loom. Another important African spider deity is Onsi, or Ananse, the trickster spider who was very intelligent. A much needed reference to pop-culture should be mentioned and that is to the 1986 Stephen King novel (and 1990 movie) 'IT', which is a story of adults who share a similar childhood where they encountered an evil clown (trickster) named Pennywise who was able to shapeshift into the fears of the children. The clown and the spider are both symbolic of the trickster who can be both good and evil. I won't ruin the movie for those who haven't seen it, but if you haven't, just remember to connect the symbolism of the Trickster/Clown/Fool with the spider and its necrosophic connotations. For more info on the symbolism on the clown, I suggest this link.

As the Triple Goddess of the Crossroads, Hecate is the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the moon, and doorways (crossroads), and she is ruler of the Sky (Heaven), Earth, and the Sea (The Deep/Hell). As one of the supreme triune deities, HECATE = 419, the number of Teth in full, which means 'Serpent', and of course as the 9th Hebrew letter is 3 x 3, 9 being the number of Yesod (the Moon). In her original Greek form, Εκατη = 334, which is 333 (Choronzon, Guardian of the Doorway/Daath/Death) + 1, as well as the number of TRIPLE, which is another obvious connection, and the 1 in 3/333 is a very significant metaphysical concept of which all of the above comes into play.

Particularly regarding Shakti is the interplay of the Tribindu, the 'three seeds' - Sun, Moon, and Fire, as well as the Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna, and perhaps most importantly, Past, Present, and Future.                                                                        Connected with Hecate are the Greek Moirae (known as the Parcae in Roman mythology), also called the 'Three Fates' or 'Apportioners'; Clotho 'the spinner', Lachesis 'the alotter', and Atropos 'the inevitable'.                                                 Grant mentions many times that the frontispiece to The Ninth Arch, Man Is A Bundle of Ids by Austin Osman Spare is the essential magical formula of Zos-Kia, which denote the phenomenal and noumenal aspects of existence. The 'formula' centers around the conical shapes in the central of the picture, which Grant refers to as 'the Cone of Hecaté' on page 414 of TNA, veiling the crossing over of dimensionalities. Appendix I of TNA is a partial commentary on the cone, as well as the 8/hourglass. I have yet to fully understand what this all means myself, I have yet to read Zos Speaks!, which may yeild a clue, and I also have yet to finish Images and Oracles of Austin Osman Spare, but I am sure I have already said enough on the topic for interested readers to find out the secret for themselves if they wish.

Another important typhonian/chaotic zootype is the Octopus, which Cthulhu is a rendition in the Lovecraftian Mythos which is a prominent figure in the work of Grant and subsequent material he has since influenced. Cthulhu is the lord of The Deep Ones, the deep being the realm of subterranean and subconscious domains. The octopus totem is a very enigmatic figure and very aptly typifies the depths of being and meaning. Have you ever heard of the expression that there are tentacles all over something? Well, if you have gotten this far, you have probably begun to see that. Like a chameleon, the octopus is able to camouflage itself within its surroundings which express its connection with secret or hidden knowledge, especially of the kalas. Though, octopi not only change colors to keep hidden, but also to be seen and to be known, to communicate.

As a water animal it connects with the the blood/water of Kali, the ocean of space, and the other venomous octopod - the spider. Both the spider and the octopus have generally dark essences,Water is the element of the unconscious, and since it takes the form in which it is held it is a lot like the octopus in being flexible, and adaptable and ever changing. 

While the octopus is a very psychic and watery creature, being a beast of the deep it also signifies the importance of grounding in the chaos of the waters. The octopus is also a very suggestive symbol of the 8th Tarot card Adjustment, the formula of which is Balance. (Note: FIRE (221) + WATER (221) = 442 = MAAT, Goddess of Truth, Justice, and Balance - depicted in ATU XIII.)  The fictional character Cthulhu is said to be 'not dead but dreaming' under the sunken city of R'lyeh, and that 'When the stars are right', R'lyeh will rise from the sea, never to sink again, and Cthulhu will awaken and revel across the world - 'ravening for delight'. Cthulhu is made of cosmic material and cannot be affected my mortal weapons, and even the Great Old Ones were not able to destroy him.

Grant says of The Great Old Ones in Outer Gateways thus:

"Also known as the Ancient Ones. They are the hidden powers ruling this planet at the present time. The spells for communicating with Them are concealed in grimoires such as the Necronomicon, the Book of the Law, and the Wisdom of S'lba. The emissaries of the Old Ones are usually nameless, but members of Their race delegated to traffic with terrestrials have appeared to specially prepared individuals (Al Hazred, Crowley, Austin Spare, etc.), for purposes of communicating certain keys to the Outer Gateways."

The importance of Cthulhu can only be briefly mentioned in this disseration, but for more info I would specifically refer the reader to the chapter entitled Tutulu in Outer Gateways, and the short video below of Terence McKenna on Visible Language:

Regarding Balance, I want to go over the cosmic balance of the microcosm and macrocosm now that the first atom (or at least its shadow) has now recently been photographed.

It is obvious from my previous posts and the name of this blog itself that the egg is a symbol of cosmic significance and yields many keys to many doors on the path to enlightenment. The number 7 as the number of the perfection (the week/seas/continents/chakras/alchemical metals/etc.), is further balanced by the 8, and the 8th chakra blooms once the 7 major ones are correctly aligned. As I have described, the 8 is merely the twisted zero, or the zero becoming infinity. (Note the correspondence of the numbers of letters in a word with the meanings of the word). The commonality of the 0 and the 8/∞ is that it repeats itself in cycles. Microcosmically, even the atomic nucleus is rarely ever spherical, but instead egg shaped. 

The next plane consisting of concentric egg-shaped cycles are the orbits of the planets which is what cycles of time are derived from.

Another correspondence of the 8 and Mercury is the fact that Mercury takes 88 Earth days to complete one Mercurial year. There are also 88 constellations of modern astronomy, and Mercury is the messenger god who relays the gnosis of the gods to the terrestrial adepts. 88 is also the number of CADUCEUS, the MAGICAL tool of Mercury.

Not only do space and time imply one another, but they both necessarily imply the spirit/matter complex of consciousness, particularly in the Zos-Kia sense. Zos is the term used to denote 'the body considered as a whole' - phenomenon, and Kia denotes the 'Atmospheric I', or Cosmic Consciousness. 

So far, modern science has been able only to catch a relatively small view of the local Universe through infrared and other techniques, and it too appears to be ovulescent, or egg-shaped. As I and my predecessors have said, the universe really is a fractally dynamic energy grid.

I also want to point out the fact that atomic bombs, such as that used in the Trinity Test, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki are also egg-shaped, as are the craniums of the entities they seem to have gotten the attention of in the late forties when they began being used. The atomic weapon is not only one of the most dangerous weapons for life on earth, but it can and is likely to be very disastrous in its effects on the subtle fractal energy grid of the entire universe itself, and possibly even other 'uni'-verses within the multiverse.

As far as biological life on Earth (which is also not completely spherical, but more of an oval), the Egg appears throughout the evolution from single-celled organisms to fully developed brain of the homo sapien.

In Chapter 27 of Magick Without Tears, Crowley mentions that Ernst Haekel discovered and demonstrated that:

". . .the history of any animal throughout the course of its evolution is repeated in the stages of the individual. To put it crudely, the growth of a child from the fertilized ovum to the adult repeats the adventures of its species.

   This doctrine is tremendously important, and I feel that I do not know how to emphasize it as it deserves. I want to be exceptionally accurate; yet the use of his meticulous scientific terms, with an armoury of quotations, would almost certainly result in your missing the point, "unable to see the wood for the tree."        

       Let me put it that the body is formed by the super-position of layers, each representing a stage in the history of the evolution of the species. The foetus displays essential characteristics of insect, reptile, mammal (or whatever they are) in the order in which these classes of animals appeared in world history. Now I want to put forward a thesis - and as far as I know it is personal to myself, based on my work at Cefalu - to the effect that the mind is constructed in precisely the same lines. . ."

(See also Chapter 8 of Liber 333)

...

Whatever the next stage in our evolution is, we can probably surmise that  the common depiction of the short, slender, androgynous alien documented primarily in the late 40's, though also as far back as 1918 with the Portrait of LAM and even centuries before then in petroglyphs and paintings, may be somewhat portentious. Such a dramatic change in the morphology would be necessarily concomitant with our acceleration towards a spacefaring species - and an even more likely reason for our transformation into hairless, almost deformed looking humanoids, would be the increasing amount of nuclear radiation in and around our planet which is surely affecting our genetics. 

Some people have supposed that at least one of the 'races' or groups of aliens that seem to have been watching or quarantining us for so long may in fact be our future-selves having transcended the limitations of physical embodiment, either through the development of particular technologies throughout the unfoldment of time, or possibly just posthumously in some after-life dimension. This subject is obviously unverifiable, but the fact that the ideas not only exist, but seem to be growing in the conscious apprehension of mankind seems to lend the idea at least some level of importance in being considered.

The modern Grey aliens which are the most commonly perceived extra-terrestrial/dimensional beings seem to themselves have many connections to the Kalinian/Cthulhian symbols mentioned above. For example, it is common for abductees to have blood, semen, and skin grafts taken from them, as well as different operations performed that seem to almost intend only to inflict pain and fear in the victim. Many abductees also report being in a place that seems to be not in space, but instead underground, or even under large bodies of water. I have already presented a .KMZ (Google Earth) file in a previous post listing many of the alleged secret military bases that may or may not even be under control by any human military elements. There is plenty of information online about such places and the experiences people have had within and around them. I just wanted to further link the above with the seemingly monstrous aspects of the 'others'.

Whatever the case, it is to surely coordinate with the variously termed 'Age of Aquarius'/'Aeon of Maat' terminologies, that we will somehow move beyond our present terrestrial state if we don't succumb to a similar fate as previous civilizations such as Atlantis or Lemuria by not gaining control of both our technological capabilities, but our rampant subconscious and qliphothic negative energy spectres as well.  The balancing of the front/dayside of the Tree of Life with the back/nightside of the Tree of Death is probably the most important thing that needs to be put into action by the majority of humanity because the Qabalah is not some map that works for some people. It is a universal map and you can have virtually no creativity or imagination and begin 'climbing' or learning the Tree of Knowledge of Life and Death and begin to find not only some of the most profound answers to many questions who have never been able to answer, but it also helps strengthen the spiritual and material levels of being when, like any other tree, it is given patient cultivation. It is in this personalized sense that the the esoteric teachings remain esoteric ('for the few') because only a few people out of the majority have ever been able to refine themselves and become subtle enough to perceive some of the most tenuous of vibrations, influences, or ideas. Silence, the fourth power of the Sphinx and one of the most important keys to occultism, is necessary for the individual because his or her Universe, while it may be shared with others is nonetheless theirs and only theirs as far as their spiritual destiny is concerned and speaking out about particular things can leak energies from the mental and auric zones. It is better to wait until an ordeal is long overcome and analyzed and integrated enough to be able to be spoken easily and fluently. This 'silence' is typified by the god Harpocrates (shown of the Aeon Tarot card). I have already noted that the Greek Ηαρποκρατης = 888, the number of this blog (It's All In The Egg) and THE GLOBED PRIEST mentioned in AL.III.34, all of which refer to the New Aeon and The Final Hé of Tetragrammaton. 

According to the numerology website RidingTheBeast.com, the number 8 is symbolic of The Cosmic Christ (Ιησους, Jesus); it is the 'final point of the manifestation'; 'the balance and cosmic order, according to the Egyptians'. There are also eight courses in Yoga, to which I recommend the book Eight Lectures on Yoga by Aleister Crowley.

   After all this talk about the number 8 and it's connection to time and cycles, I guess here would be a good place to mention that 8 x 8 = 64, the number of TIME, which is also a Temurah of MYTH. There are also 64 Hexagrams in the Chinese divinatory system known as the I Ching.

   As you can see, all of the above is just a tip of the iceberg with the mythology of time. I could go on more, but once again I have stayed up for far too long to complete this even though it was pretty fun.
