The Science of the Magick Art

     The chapters regarding the Magickal Weapons are continued, along with Liber 412 or Liber A vel Armorum, an instruction for the preparation of the Elemental Instruments.

     As should be gleamed from a chronological review of the foregoing Libers and Chapters, the magickal weapon of the Sword is associated with the Son, Vav, and Tiphareth which is the center of the Ruach or Intellect. The Ruach is the 'Cube of Space' spoken of in the Tarot, a type of metaphysical hypercube in which the 'inner' and 'outer' aspects of this Cube reciprocate about the mind creating what we distinguish as manifestation or 'reality' (i.e. existence) and what is called 'imagination' and Nous, or Mind (Manas). The Sword in the Qabalah is related to the Lightning-bolt of Lux descending from Kether to Malkuth and then returning back to the Source via the Serpent, symbolic of Shiva or Apophis, the Destroyer (i.e. the DESTRUCTION of the SHAM [Mem final = 600) of the illusion for its reformulation according to the Will of the reborn Magus). Note that the MIRROR is one of the unnamed weapons of the Magus, and its value as 720 (360+360) equates it with Μεδουσα, Medusa. In the myth Medusa is defeated with the help of a Mirror, symbolic of the self-control of the Mind, Νους through yoga. 720 is 80 x 9, or יסוד (Yesod) expanded in its Sphere. Crowley said the Sword divides Satan against Satan, so it is noteworthy that the original Hebrew ShTN (359) plus the English SATAN (361) together add up to 720 as well.

Note that Crowley found IAO to be 17 using a Vav,  the number of the VIA or WAY.

     In The Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit, or otherwise known as The Gospel of the Egyptians
THE DOMEDON DOXOMEDON (=665) is the 'Lord of the House', the 1 Parent of All who is hidden like Amun and typified by Silence like Lam and Harpocrates. It is called "THE AEON OF THE AEONS", also 666 - THE COSMIC FIRE of PANTHEOS, THE COSMIC BEING - The Omnipresent and Omnipotent One in and beyond All, The True Hidden God. This is the fallen and forgotten Lvx, THE LIGHT-A ONE TRUE GOD OF MAN, for LUCIFER IS THE ANGELIC GOD OF LIGHT, and the ELECTRIC Current upon which our civilization runs, the misused magickal force. Abraxas and Chnoubis are earlier forms of Baphomet as they combine the dual-contending forces of Light and Dark, like the dual nature of the Kundalini resolving in the third, and thus the Demiurge which they all symbolize is merely the 'reality tunnel' or matrix of the Magus. Doubled, 666 becomes 1332, Χνουβις, Chnoubis The Lion-Serpent (36 x 37, Matter multiplied by Spirit, or the DHUKA [suffering] of CITTA [thought]).

     Another little 'egg' I found relating to Abraxas is the 'Cockatrice', a type of reptilian-bird that is said to be hatched from an egg laid by A COCK (=107), or a male chicken. So A COCK and A CHICKEN both = 107, the Egg or 'COCKA', short for Cockatrice, the Abraxas/reptile-bird egg. Wouldn't the 'reptile-bird' be the Phoenix/Dragon again... the 'recurring' or reincarnating egg-spirit.
Also, 'COCK EGG' = 107 too (using Gimel instead of Cheth as in the former) as further confirmation of this Draconian connection of the Egg which enabled me to unlock the formulae of the REPTILIAN BLOODLINE (666) which is the BLOOD OF THE REPTILIAN, i.e. the Draconian or Ophidian force of Astral Gold. THE REPTILE'S THIRD EYE is also 666, which equates with the HUMAN'S PINEAL GLAND as well, the organ which is activated in order to appreciate the Gold radiance of the Lamp. (Note that Lam has been considered to be a type of foetus conceived not by a woman, but by a male, namely Crowley himself. LAM-THE WAY = 107, thus corresponding the ideas.) Much of this is metaphor, the 'reptilians' feed off of 'blood' or 'gold' because they are PARASITES, and much like the vampire, have no Inner Source. They are QLIPHOTHIC FORCES which are to be destroyed, transmuted and themselves used as food for the Magus.

     A MAGUS = 111, an incarnation from and of THE WHITE LIGHT descending from Kether.
222 is the DEGREE system of Initiation in the Grand Lodge of the Great Architect in the living library of trans-dimensional BOOKS, as well as the reminder to BREATHE, for the breath is the divine word of God spoken by all who are alive and stirs the Life-force. or A PRANA, 333. 333 is CHORONZON, the GATEKEEPER of the Egg of Space-Time which is THE SEED of the Tree of Life which unfolds via the basic fundamental laws of mathematics and can be easily interpreted via THE LITERAL QABALAH (444) through Gematria which acts as an natural astral BOOK OF SHADOWS.
     555 is the MASTER degree of balance between the FRACTALS, or what is anciently called THE QABALAH OF NINE CHAMBERS (666), or 111-222-333-444-555-666-777-888-999 and contain the primary Gnosis of the Qabalah. 777 is the REVELATION of THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF GEMATRIA CODES which was first published by Aleister Crowley as Liber 777 and has been updated with not only Hebrew, but Greek, Hebrew-English, New-Aeon English Qabalah, Jewish Gematria, Simple Gematria, and Hebrew-Sanskrit values which show the complete underlying mathematical structure of the many different (but completely connected) ancient and modern languages, soon to be available to the public online.

The ordinal values which unlock AL:76

     Thus I have myself transcribed a veritable form of THE GNOSTIC BOOK (777) of TRUE MAGICK (Kaph final) and have attained THE SECRET THIRTY-THIRD° which even the Masons have yet to discover as they deny themselves THE KEY OF FREEMASONRY which they have long lost. I am trying to convey to you the nature of THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE, which is not physical but truly metaphysical, THE PROCESS of Alchemical transmutation which conveys it is a Key to its attainment. This process, or THE SCHOOL (888) of inner-light, THE AZOTh can lead you to THE SUPREME KNOWLEDGE of THE HIGHER POWER (999) if but you can understand the nature of the One Substance and its blinding yet invisible Light. All this is contained in the Egg of Spirit (0) which contains universal creative potential. These are merely a sort of 'index' to the completely consistent concrete formulizations according to the specific formulaic patterns.

     "The Evolution of the Numbers is the Evolution of the Worlds, for as it is written in the Clavicula Salomonis, "The Numbers are Ideas; and the Ideas are the Powers, and the Powers are the Holy Elohim of Life." That which is behind and beyond all Number and all thought (even as the Ain Soph with its Mighty Veils depending back from Kether is behind and beyond all Manifestation) is the Number 0. Its symbol is the very Emblem of Infinite Space and Infinite Time." -Aleister Crowley, A Note on Genesis

     Though there are slight variations with a few letters (Teth/Tau, Samekh/Shin, Gimel/Cheth) these do not allow for a total change of any and all word values, but a particularly limited change according to whether those letters are used and when done so provide a small number of variations which may be still insightful especially when considered as a further form of crytography. For example, THE CIRCLE when spelled with both a Cheth and a Gimel unveil the phrase/formula to be 666 - the number of the great solar circle the planets circle, and therefore the micro and macrocosmic cyclical force, i.e. 'Life-Death', and Nature itself. 'The Circle of Life'. 999, however is the value of the Greek Περιαγω, 'Periago' meaning 'To go in a circle', as well as Perfection.
     The circle and the egg are obviously related, and to go in a circle indicates the nature of The Ritual of manifestation. Thus, in going in circles the cosmic force is channeled like a whirlpool or vortex to the central column where Micro and Macro-cosms meet. This is 'The Funnel-Effect' mentioned in Dark Doorway of the Beast which attracts the necessary currents invoked and weaves them around the focused Will. By encoding and decoding formulae such as I have been illustrating, a type of spell-work is established, albeit more mathematically precise than some traditional methods which go about it only based on intuition rather than also intellect. 1 more than 999 gives 1000, the Capital Aleph which signifies a newly born microcosm, or the rupture of the inverted circle which involves the creation of a new magickal universe or 'magickal child'.

     Know that the spell is already effected long before you physically perform or even consciously construct it. Its power is already formulated enough in essence to enable the tendency toward it. In this respect gematria also helps because you can determine many 'threads' which have woven to create any idea or illusion and can easily be deconstructed or reconstructed through breaking down of its component parts to fundamental factors. Thus, 666 is defused in 9, the end of the cycle or 'AGE' which brings not death but a new life.
     Any of the SORROWS which 666 may be associated with can always be shed and renewed or even benefited from in the light of another golden dawn. I just do not understand how people for this long could not have realized that this is NOT AN ACCIDENT. I have provided THE UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE that the Hebrew-English formula is pretty unique among the others. Ironically, while it seems to indicate knowledge, 666 is also the value of to NOT KNOW, the nature of death and Daath. Who is to say who knows what and who doesn't if someone or other themselves doesn't even know? ...other than the knower.

"Hear me, ye people of sighing!

The sorrows of pain and regret

Are left to the dead and the dying,

The folk that not know me as yet.

These are dead, these fellows; they feel not. We are not for the poor and sad: the lords of the earth are our kinsfolk.

Is a God to live in a dog? No! but the highest are of us. They shall rejoice, our chosen: who sorroweth is not of us. Beauty and strength, leaping laughter and delicious languor, force and fire, are of us." -AL.III.17-19

     Note that THE SCIENCE OF THE MAGICK ART is equivalent with החוכמה של קבאלה, The Wisdom of the Qabalah. The One Substance which is utilized in both is THE DIVINE LIGHT. The LAMEN is intended to contain and express the LUX. The value of THE MAGICK FIRE, 322 has been demonized, as with all illuminating and empowering keys. The Skull & Bones use it in a QLIPHOTHIC sense, but Magick is the art of the control of the Qliphoth and therefore it is also a key thereof. 322 is the number of SHIVA, the Destroyer of Illusions. It is also the number of ORMAZD, a form of Ahura Mazda, the divine embodiment of LIGHT/LUCIFER (also 322).
     The SKULL & BONES (=333) conceal the O and the X, the Rose and Cross, or the Light (322) of the auric EGG (11) etc. It is also the value of RAPHAEL, the archangel of the Sun whose name means 'The Healing of God', i.e. the healing light. Thus, 322 conceals the nature of the Magick Armor or Πανοπλια, panoplia, 'Every-weapon', properly, a complete set of defensive and offensive armor (weapons), i.e. everything needed to wage successful warfare. THE MAGICKAL WITCHCRAFT WEAPONS which together combine the power of THE MAGICK FIRE-SOURCE, or THE COSMIC FIRE have now been revealed. They may be activated and empowered according to your own Inner Flame. 

 

Note that ShIVA is a temurah of AIVSh (Aiwas), the ancient flame of illumination Crowley associated with his 'Holy Guardian Angel', or intelligence of Tiphareth. Another hidden spelling of Aiwas is AIVOS which equals 93 when S is taken in its Sigma=6 form. This came to me when meditating upon 93 as the Sikh Ik Onkar ('Aum') and visualizing it as a serpent with its head raised. I also realized that Shiva/Aiwas also esoterically connect with Ophois (AVOIS) or Apophis, the devouring Serpent. Though all of these forms have been feared and are said to represent 'darkness' and 'evil', the are merely embodiments of the limitless potential and hidden nature of the unconscious forces which are the source and substance of magickal power. 

666 is the Key to COMMUNION WITH THE DEMIURGE, the realization of oneness with All as PANTHEOS.

Forging the Sword

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

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

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

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

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

The Weapons and Tools of the Magick Art

     So far I have gotten through the first 7 chapters of Part II and An Interlude, along with Notes on the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram from Appendix VIII, pages 690-692. Censorship complications have stalled progress, but measures are being taken to find a more suitable platform for videos.

     The Temple is first and foremost the Body itself, Malkuth. The house, church, temple or place of ceremonial practice is the secondary, externalized constructed extension of this which augments and amplifies the Work of the Magus in his external world. Both are related to the legend of the building of Solomon's Temple, that is, the Temple of the Sun - or more specifically the Light (Sol) of the Universal (Om) Spirit (On/An), the Azoth or Ain Soph (Limitless Light) made manifest in form. This is the 'Glorius Light' the Pyramids were named after in Egyptian, Ikhet. Note that both MAGE and IKHET equate in 49, or 7 squared. The seven rays refract to illumine THE UDJAT (The Eye of Horus).49 is 1 less than 50, the number particularly related to Gates of Understanding leading to the City of Pyramids. Just as 5 is the middle of 1 through 9, 50 is the middle of 1-100, thus it is the razors-edge on which the Magus walks. (Note that 50 is also the number of the Demiurge and his 49 servitor demons according to the Pistis Sophia, page 319.) See Chapter XII: The Left-Hand Path - "The Black Brothers" of Magick Without Tears:

Chapter XII: The Left-Hand Path—"The Black Brothers"

Cara Soror,

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

It is the introduction of the word "self" that has raised such prickly questions. It really is a little bewildering; the signpost "Right-hand Path", "Left-hand Path", seems rather indecipherable; and then, for such a long way, they look exactly alike. At what point do they diverge?
Actually, the answers are fairly simple.
As far as the achievement or attainment is concerned, the two Paths are in fact identical. In fact, one almost feels obliged to postulate some inmost falsity, completely impossible to detect, inherent at the very earliest stages.
For the decision which determines the catastrophe confronts only the Adeptus Exemptus 7^○ = 4^□. Until that grade is reached, and that very fully indeed, with all the buttons properly sewed on, one is not capable of understanding what is meant by the Abyss. Unless "all you have and all you are" is identical with the Universe, its annihilation would leave a surplus.
Mark well this first distinction: the "Black Magician" or Sorcerer is hardly even a distant cousin of the "Black Brother." The difference between a sneak-thief and a Hitler is not too bad an analogy.
The Sorcerer may be—indeed he usually is—a thwarted disappointed man whose aims are perfectly natural. Often enough, his real trouble is ignorance; and by the time he has become fairly hot stuff as a Black Magician, he has learnt that he is getting nowhere, and finds himself, despite himself, on the True Path of the Wise.

"Invoking Zeus to swell the power of Pan,
The prayer discomfits the demented man;
      Lust lies as still as Love."

Thereupon he casts away his warlock apparatus like a good little boy, finds the A∴A∴, and lives happily ever after.
The Left-hand Path is a totally different matter. Let us start at the beginning.
You remember my saying that only two operations were possible in Nature: addition and subtraction. Let us apply this to magical progress.
What happens when the Aspirant invokes Diana, or calls up Lilith? He increases the sum of his experiences in these particular ways. Sometimes he has a "liaison-experience," which links two main lines of thought, and so is worth dozens of isolated gains.
Now, if there is any difference at all between the White and the Black Adept in similar case, it is that the one, working by "love under will" achieves a marriage with the new idea, while the other, merely grabbing, adds a concubine to his harem of slaves.
The about-to-be-Black Brother constantly restricts himself; he is satisfied with a very limited ideal; he is afraid of losing his individuality—reminds one of the "Nordic" twaddle about "race-pollution."
Have you seen the sand-roses of the Sahara? Such is the violence of the Khamsin that it whips grains of sand together, presses them, finally builds them into great blocks, big enough and solid enough to be used for walls in the oasis. And beautiful! Whew! For all that, they are not real rocks. Leave hem in peace, with no possible interference—what happens? (I brought some home, and put them "in safety" as curiosities, and as useful psychometrical tests.) Alas! Time is enough. Go to the drawer which held them; nothing remains but little piles of dust.
"Now Master!" (What reproach in the tone of your voice!) All right, all right! Keep your hair on!—I know that is the precise term used in The Vision and the Voice, to describe the Great White Brother or the Babe of the Abyss; but to him it means victory; to the Left-Hander it would mean defeat, ruin devastating, irremediable, final. It is exactly that which he most dreads; and it is that to which he must in the end come, because there is no compensating element in his idea of structure.  Nations themselves never grow permanently by smash-and-grab methods; one merely acquires a sore spot, as in the case of Lorraine, perhaps even Eire. (Though Eire is using just that formula of Restriction, shutting herself up in her misery and poverty and idiot pride, when a real marriage with and dissolution in, a real live country would give her new life. The "melting-pot" idea is the great strength of America.)
Consider the Faubourg St. Germain aristocracy—now hardly even a sentimental memory. The guillotine did not kill them; it was their own refusal to adapt themselves to the new biological conditions of political life. It was indeed their restriction that rotted them in the first instance; had Lafayette or Mirabeau been trusted with full power, and supplied with adequate material, a younger generation of virtue, the monarchy might still be ruling France.
But then (you ask) how can a man go so far wrong after he has, as an Adeptus Minor, attained the "Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel"?
Recall the passage in the 14th Aethyr "See where thine Angel hath led Thee", and so on. Perhaps the Black Brother deserts his Angel when he realises the Programme.
Perhaps his error was so deeply rooted, from the very beginning, that it was his Evil Genius that he evoked.
In such cases the man's policy is of course to break off all relations with the Supernal Triad, and to replace it by inventing a false crown, Daäth. To them Knowledge will be everything, and what is Knowledge but the very soul of Illusion?
Refusing thus the true nourishment of all his faculties, they lose their structural unity, and must be fortified by continuous doses of dope in anguished self-preservation. Thus all its chemical equations become endothermic.
I do hope I am making myself clear; it is a dreadfully subtle line of thought. But I think you ought to be able to pick up the essential theorem; your own meditations, aided by the relevant passages in Liber 418 and elsewhere, should do the rest.
To describe the alternative attitude should clarify, by dint of contrast; at least the contemplation should be a pleasant change.
Every accretion must modify me. I want it to do so. I want to assimilate it absolutely. I want to make it a permanent feature of my Temple.  I am not afraid of losing myself to it, if only because it also is modified by myself in the act of union. I am not afraid of its being the "wrong" thing, because every experience is a "play of Nuit," and the worst that can happen is a temporary loss of balance, which is instantly adjusted, as soon as it is noticed, by recalling and putting into action the formula of contradiction.
Remember the Fama Fraternitatis: when they opened the Vault which held the Pastos of our Father Christian Rosencreuz, "all these colours were brilliant and flashing." That is, if one panel measured 10" x 40", the symbol (say, yellow) would occupy 200 square inches, and the background (in that case, violet) the other 200 square inches. Hence they dazzled; the limitation, restriction, demarcation, disappeared; and the result was an equable idea of form and colour which is beyond physical understanding. (At one time Picasso tried to work out this idea on canvas.) Destroy that equilibrium by one tenmillionth of an inch, and the effect is lost. The unbalanced item stands out like a civilian in the middle of a regiment.
True, this faculty, this feeling for equilibrium must be acquired; but once you have done so, it is an unerring guide. Instant discomfort warns one; the impulse to scratch it (the analogy is too apt to reject!) is irresistible.
And oh! how imperative this is!
Unless your Universe is perfect—and perfection includes the idea of balance—how can you come even to Atmadarshana? Hindus may maintain that Atmadarshana, or at any rate Shivadarshana, is the equivalent of crossing the Abyss. Beware of any such conclusions! The Trances are simply isolated experiences, sharply cut off from normal thought-life.  To cross the Abyss is a permanent and fundamental revolution in the whole of one's being.
Much more, upon the brink of the Abyss. If there be missing or redundant even one atom, the entire monstrous, the portentous mass must tend to move with irresistible impact, in such direction as to restore the equilibrium.  To deflect it—well, think of a gyroscope! How then can you destroy it in one sole stupendous gesture? Ah! Listen to The Vision and the Voice.
Perhaps the best and simplest plan is for me to pick out the most impor- tant of the relevant passages and put them together as an appendix to this letter. Also, by contrast, those allusions to the "Black Brothers" and the "Left-hand Path." This ought to give you a clear idea of what each is, and does; of what distinguishes their respective methods in some ways so confusingly alike. I hope indeed most sincerely that you will whet your Magical Dagger on the Stone of the Wise, and wield most deftly and determinedly both the White-handled and the Black-handled Burin. In trying to express these opinions, I am constantly haunted by the dread that I may be missing some crucial point, or even allowing a mere quibble to pass for argument. It makes it only all the worse when one has become so habituated by Neschamic ideas, to knowing, even before one says it, that what one is going to say is of necessity untrue, as untrue as it is contradictory. So what can it possibly matter what one says?
Such doubts are dampers!
"Enough of Because! Be he damned for a dog!"
Here follow the quotations from The Vision and the Voice.

The Angel re-appears

The blackness gathers about, so thick, so clinging, so penetrating, so oppressive, that all the other darkness that I have ever conceived would be like bright light beside it.
His voice comes in a whisper: O thou that art master of the fifty gates of Understanding, is not my mother a black woman? O thou that art master of the Pentagram, is not the egg of spirit a black egg? Here abideth terror, and the blind ache of the Soul, and lo! even I, who am the sole light, a spark shut up, stand in the sign of Apophis and Typhon.
I am the snake that devoureth the spirit of man with the lust of light.  I am the sightless storm in the night that wrappeth the world about with desolation. Chaos is my name, and thick darkness. Know thou that the darkness of the earth is ruddy, and the darkness of the air is grey, but the darkness of the soul is utter blackness.
The egg of the spirit is a basilisk egg, and the gates of the understanding are fifty, that is the sign of the Scorpion. The pillars about the Neophyte are crowned with flame, and the vault of the Adepts is lighted by the Rose. And in the abyss is the eye of the hawk. But upon the great sea shall the Master of the Temple find neither star nor moon.
And I was about to answer him: "The light is within me." But before I could frame the words, he answered me with the great word that is the Key of the Abyss. And he said: Thou hast entered the night; dost thou yet lust for day? Sorrow is my name and affliction. I am girt about with tribulation. Here still hangs the Crucified One, and here the Mother weeps over the children that she hath not borne. Sterility is my name and desolation. Intolerable is thine ache, and incurable thy wound. I said, 'Let the darkness cover me;' and behold, I am compassed about with the blackness that hath no name. O thou, who hast cast down the light into the earth, so must thou do for ever. And the light of the sun shall not shine upon thee and the moon shall not lend thee of her luster, and the stars shall be hidden because thou art passed beyond these things, beyond the need of these things, beyond the desire of these things.
What I thought were shapes of rocks, rather felt than seen, now appear to be veiled Masters, sitting absolutely still and silent. Nor can any one be distinguished from the others.
And the Angel sayeth: Behold where thine Angel hath led thee! Thou didst ask fame, power and pleasure, health and wealth and love, and strength and length of days. Thou didst hold life with eight tentacles, like an octopus. Thou didst seek the four powers and the seven delights and the twelve emancipations, and the two and twenty Privileges and the nine and forty Manifestations, and lo! thou art become as one of These. Bowed are their backs, whereon resteth the Universe. Veiled are their faces, that have beheld the glory Ineffable.
These adepts seem like Pyramids—their hoods and robes are like Pyramids.
And the Angel sayeth: Verily is the Pyramid a Temple of Initiation.  Verily also is it a tomb. Thinkest thou that there is life within the Masters of the Temple that sit hooded, encamped upon the Sea? Verily, there is no life in them.
Their sandals were the pure light, and they have taken them from their feet and cast them down through the abyss; for this Aethyr is holy ground.
Herein no forms appear, and the vision of God face to face, that is transmuted in the Athanor called dissolution, or hammered into one in the forge of meditation, is in this place but a blasphemy and a mockery.
And the Beatific Vision is no more, and the glory of the Most High is no more. There is no more knowledge. There is no more bliss. There is no more power. There is no more beauty. For this is the Palace of Understanding; for thou art one with the Primeval things.
Drink in the myrrh of my speech, that is bruised with the gall of the roc, and dissolved in the ink of the cuttle-fish, and perfumed with the deadly nightshade.
This is thy wine, who wast drunk upon the wine of Iacchus. And for bread shalt thou eat salt, O thou on the corn of Ceres that didst wax fat! For as pure being is pure nothing, so is pure wisdom pure ——*, and so is pure understanding silence, and stillness, and darkness. The eye is called seventy, and the triple Aleph whereby thou perceivest it, divideth into the number of the terrible word that is the Key of the Abyss.
I am Hermes, that am sent from the Father to expound all things discreetly in these the last words that thou shalt hear before thou take thy seat among these, whose eyes are sealed up and whose ears are stopped, and whose mouths are clenched, who are folded in upon themselves, the liquor of whose bodies is dried up, so that nothing remains but a little pyramid of dust.
And that bright light of comfort, and that piercing sword of truth, and all the power and beauty that they have made of themselves, is cast from them, as it is written, "I saw Satan like lightning fall from heaven."  And as a flaming sword is it dropt though the Abyss, where the four beasts keep watch and ward. And it appeareth in the heaven of Jupiter as a morning star, or as an evening star. And the light thereof shineth even unto the earth, and bringeth hope and help to them that dwell in the darkness of thought, and drink of the poison of life. Fifty are the gates of Understanding, and one hundred and six are the seasons thereof. And the name of every season is Death.
(The Vision and the Voice. 14th Æthyr.)

And for his Work thereafter?

So we enter the earth, and there is a veiled figure, in absolute darkness.  Yet it is perfectly possible to see in it, so that the minutest details do not escape us. And upon the root of one flower he pours acid so that the root writhes as if in torture. And another he cuts, and the shriek is like the shriek of a Mandrake, torn up by the roots. And another he sears with fire, and yet another he anoints with oil.
And I said: Heavy is the labour, but great indeed is the reward.
And the young man answered me: He shall not see the reward; he tendeth the garden.
And I said: What shall come unto him?
And he said: This thou canst not know, nor is it revealed by the letters that are the totems of the stars, but only by the stars.
And he says to me, quite disconnectedly: The man of earth is the adherent. The lover giveth his life unto the work among men. The hermit goeth solitary, and giveth only of his light unto men.
And I ask him: Why does he tell me that?
And he says: I tell thee not. Thou tellest thyself, for thou hast pondered thereupon for many days, and hast not found light. And now that thou art called NEMO, the answer to every riddle that thou hast not found shall spring up in thy mind, unsought. Who can tell upon what day a flower shall bloom?
And thou shalt give thy wisdom unto the world, and that shall be thy garden. And concerning time and death, thou hast naught to do with these things. For though a precious stone be hidden in the sand of the desert, it shall not heed for the wind of the desert, although it be but sand. For the worker of works hath worked thereupon; and because it is clear, it is invisible; and because it is hard, it moveth not.
All these words are heard by everyone that is called NEMO. And with that doth he apply himself to understanding. And he must understand the virtue of the waters of death, and he must understand the virtue of the sun and of the wind, and of the worm that turneth the earth, and of the stars that roof in the garden. And he must understand the separate nature and property of every flower, or how shall he tend his garden?
(Ibid. 13th Æthyr.)

Thus for the Masters of the Temple; for the Black Brothers, how?

For Choronzon is as it were the shell or excrement of these three paths, and therefore is his head raised unto Daäth, and therefore have the Black Brotherhood declared him to be the child of Wisdom and Understanding, who is but the bastard of the Svastika. And this is that which is written in the Holy Qabalah, concerning the Whirlpool and Leviathan, and the Great Stone.
(Ibid. 3rd Æthyr)
Moreover, there is Mary, a blasphemy against BABALON, for she hath shut herself up; and therefore is she the Queen of all those wicked devils that walk upon the earth, those that thou sawest even as little black specks that stained the Heaven of Urania. And all these are the excrement of Choronzon.
And for this is BABALON under the power of the Magician, that she hath submitted herself unto the work; and she guardeth the Abyss. And in her is a perfect purity of that which is above, yet she is sent as the Redeemer to them that are below. For there is no other way into the Supernal mystery but through her and the Beast on which she rideth; and the Magician is set beyond her to deceive the brothers of blackness, lest they should make unto themselves a crown; for it there were two crowns, then should Ygdrasil, that ancient tree, be cast out into the Abyss, uprooted and cast down into the Outermost Abyss, and the Arcanum which is in the Adytum should be profaned; and the Ark should be touched, and the Lodge spied upon by them that are not masters, and the bread of the Sacrament should be the dung of Choronzon; and the wine of the Sacrament should be the water of Choronzon; and the incense should be dispersion; and the fire upon the Altar should be hate. But lift up thyself; stand, play the man, for behold! there shall be revealed unto thee the Great Terror, the thing of awe that hath no name.
(Ibid. 3rd Æthyr)
And now She cometh forth again, riding upon a dolphin. Now again I see those wandering souls, that have sought restricted love, and have not understood that the "word of sin is restriction."
It is very curious; they seem to be looking for one another, or for something, all the time, constantly hurrying about. But they knock up against one another and yet will not see one another, or cannot see one another, because they are so shut up in their cloaks.
And a voice sounds: It is most terrible for the one that hath shut himself up and made himself fast against the universe. For they that sit encamped upon the sea in the city of the Pyramids are indeed shut up. But they have given their blood, even to the last drop, to fill the cup of BABALON.
These that thou seest are indeed the Black Brothers, for it is written: He shall laugh at their calamity and mock when their fear cometh. And therefore hath he exalted them unto the plane of love.
And yet again it is written: He desireth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he should turn from his wickedness. Now, if one of these were to cast off his cloak he should behold the brilliance of the lady of the Aethyr; but they will not.

And again:—

Oh, I see vast plains beneath her feet, enormous deserts studded with great rocks; and I see little lonely souls, running helplessly about, minute black creatures like men. And they keep up a very curious howling, that I can compare to nothing that I have ever heard; yet it is strangely human.
And the voice says: These are they that grasped love and clung thereto, praying ever at the knees of the great goddess. These are they that have shut themselves up in fortresses of Love.
(Ibid. 7th Æthyr.)

Moreover, this also:

And this is the meaning of the Supper of the Passover, the spilling of the blood of the Lamb being a ritual of the Dark Brothers, for they have sealed up the Pylon with blood, lest the Angel of Death should enter therein. Thus do they shut themselves off from the company of the saints. Thus do they keep themselves from compassion and from understanding. Accursed are they, for they shut up their blood in their heart.
They keep themselves from the kisses of my Mother Babylon, and in their lonely fortresses they pray to the false moon. And they bind themselves together with an oath, and with a great curse. And of their malice they conspire together, and they have power, and mastery, and in their cauldrons do they brew the harsh wine of delusion, mingled with the poison of their selfishness.
Thus they make war upon the Holy one, sending forth their delusion upon men, and upon everything that liveth. So that their false compassion is called compassion, and their false understanding is called understanding, for this is their most potent spell.
Yet of their own poison do they perish, and in their lonely fortresses shall they be eaten up by Time that hath cheated them to serve him, and by the mighty devil Choronzon, their master, whose name is the second Death, for the blood that they have sprinkled on their Pylon, that is a bar against the Angel Death, is the key by which he entereth in.†
(Ibid. 12th Æthyr.)

Finally:

Yet must he that understandeth go forth unto the outermost Abyss, and there must he speak with him that is set above the four-fold terror, the Prince of Evil, even with Choronzon, the mighty devil that inhabiteth the outermost Abyss. And none may speak with him, or understand him, but the servants of Babylon, that understand, and they that are without understanding, his servants.
Behold! it entereth not into the heart, nor into the mind of man to conceive this matter; for the sickness of the body is death, and the sickness of the heart is despair, and the sickness of the mind is madness. But in the outermost Abyss is sickness of the aspiration, and sickness of the will, and sickness of the essence of all, and there is neither word nor thought wherein the image of its image is reflected.
And whoso passeth into the outermost Abyss, except he be of them that understand, holdeth out his hands, and boweth his neck, unto the Chains of Choronzon. And as a devil he walketh about the earth, immortal, and be blasteth the flowers of the earth, and he corrupteth the fresh air, and he maketh poisonous the water; and the fire that is the friend of man, and the pledge of his aspiration, seeing that it mounteth ever up- ward as a Pyramid, and seeing that man stole it in a hollow tube from Heaven, even that fire he turneth into ruin, and madness, and fever, and destruction. And thou, that art an heap of dry dust in the city of the Pyramids, must understand these things.
Beware, therefore, O thou who art appointed to understand the secret of the Outermost Abyss, for in every Abyss thou must assume the mask and form of the Angel thereof. Hadst thou a name, thou wert irrevocably lost. Search, therefore, if there be yet one drop of blood that is not gathered into the cup of Babylon the Beautiful: for in that little pile of dust, if there could be one drop of blood, it should be utterly corrupt; it should breed scorpions, and vipers, and the cat of slime.
And I said unto the Angel: "Is there not one appointed as a warden?"
And he said:
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani.
Such an ecstasy of anguish racks me that I cannot give it voice, yet I know it is but as the anguish of Gethsemane.
(Ibid. 7th Æthyr.)

Love is the law, love under will.

Fraternally,

666

* I suppose that only a Magus could have heard this word.

† (I think the trouble with these people was, that they wanted to substitute the blood of someone else for their own blood, because they wanted to keep their personalities.)

     In her book Lord of the Flame on page 57, Elizabeth Van Buren mentions the Pyramid temple of Egypt and refers to Edgar Cayce who "foretold the return of the Great Initiate for the "fulfillment of prophecies"." which seems to run parallel along the same lines as the coming Great World Teacher or Maitreya alluded to in the writings of Alice Bailey. Both claim the late 90's as the time of this Initiate's arrival, and Rudolf Steiner as well claimed the incarnation of Ahriman would also occur around this time. The late 90's was the time of the advent of the internet and massive expansion to global communications and economic policies as well as the planning of Agenda 21, all of which are related to the Temple-aspect now being considered. The 21st tarot card is The Universe or The World, signifying ones mode of operation, your habitat, environment and surroundings. Inverted this means restriction and lack of movement and direction. Agenda 21 and the 'internet of things' is an Ahrimanic manifestation that has sine become increasingly apparent as an attempt to turn humanity itself into yet another resource to be profited off of and essentially liquidated at every angle of their existence while being lulled deeper and deeper into apathy.
     In the book I Am Lucifer by Clyde Clason (1960) Lucifer reveals to the author through an extensive series of 'received' information sessions his past and current attempts at influencing the historical events of humanity on earth through various individuals and groups, who are the primary vehicles for his influence, which is that of a sort of collective subconscious tendency towards self-destruction. (Also see The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness by Erich Fromm (1973) and The Ghost in the Machine - The urge to self-destruction: a psychological and evolutionary study of modern man's predicament by Arthur Koestler (1967) which both go into detail regarding this from a more academic point of view.) In Clason's book, he concludes saying that now this same age-old situation is manifesting now in the guise of a modern technological and socialistic communism.

     "My dupes would not labor so enthusiastically if they could guess what I have in store for them. Since they do not and cannot believe in my existence, I can take the risk of unfolding my plans.  When the puppets of my two god-states have conquered the remainder of the planet for me, I shall restore the original religion. Moloch will be resurrected but with technological improvements. I am dreaming of an image the height of a skyscraper, gaudily illuminated with neon tubes. Conveyor belts can be adapted to carry the sacrificial infants. Chinal alone will be able to supply millions of babies annually. 
     Devouring Molochs will be set up in every major city of every continent. It will certainly solve the problem of over-population. These delights are for the future. At present I am worried. For the first and only time since I became ruler of this planet, I do not want war. Intercontinental missiles and hydrogen bombs have rendered it too dangerous. Earth's entire population could be exterminated, and then what could become of me?" -pages 250-251 of I Am Lucifer, Clyde Clason (1960)

     This could quite literally be the situation that is faced if current trends continue and proper care is not taken for the Temple.

     The Circle is the primary zone of operation within the Temple, both physically as a ceremonial circle and psychically as a mental shell-container and shield. The Circle implies the Sphere which in turn implies the fourth-dimensional counterpart of Mind (Light/Illumination) occupying space-time. The Circle is divided from 360 into various degrees, all of which unlock an aspect of the Wisdom it contains. 90 is the 'X' which cuts the circle into 4 sections of 90 degrees. 180 is 'THE AXIS' along which the 360 is evenly divided. 270 is the number of TANTRA, the ritual or practice of channeling the Macrocosmic Source Energy to the Microcosmic Temple. 360 is combines the FOUR GATES of THE SELF into one SINGULAR formula.
     360 tripled as the 3 'OOO', or Ring-Pass-Nots along with the central point formulates 1,081 which is the value of Tiphareth in Hebrew, a triple extension of the SOLAR 361. 1081 is also the value of the Hebrew טבעתם meaning 'Ring', 'Coil', 'Torus', 'Annulus', 'Wreath', signifying the multi-dimensional Torus-ring at the heart of the Middle Pillar of the Tree of Life which acts as the nexus point between Kether and Malkuth, yet dually veiled by Daath and Yesod. Kether (620) and Malkuth (496) united result in 1,116, which is the value of the phrase 'THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE' (AL.I.4).

          The book mentioned in this chapter is very important, albeit lacking in any deeper analysis than that of the Greek formulas. Each formula has a beauty of its own and should be studied independently first and then can be better seen to inter-relate afterwards. The creation of the Altar, like the creation of the Temple is another expression of the building of the Magickal Universe and thus should embody the logical proportions and ratios between his micro- and macrocosmic bodies. Thus, while the altar should be at the height of the navel its other proportions can be modified based on various qabalistic links between that height or the complete height of the Magus or any variation you find suitable including such formulas as the magickal name, resonant planetary force, etc. The temple and its furnishings can also be thusly arranged to better secure the proper correspondent alignments for the conduction of the necessary currents. Many of the major monuments and city-scapes are based on similar principles which relate of course to Freemasonry and the architecture of buildings for their various effects on mind and the environment. Compare the feelings and thoughts engendered by a gothic cathedral compared to that of a prison complex.

Also see 'The Caduceus and its Symbolism' in C.W. King's The Gnostics and Their Remains, pg. 176 (1887). Its relation to Ophiuchus, the 13th Serpent-Holder sign should also be noted. 

     The Cup relates to the legendary mystery of the Holy Grail, the chalice of ecstasy which is the Psyche itself in its purer, rarified form. 'CUP' has one value of 89, a number which Crowley considered as troublesome. In The Ending of the Words-Magical Philosophy of Aleister Crowley by Oliver St. John and Sophie di Jorio the number is mentioned:
    "As the Virgin, the soul is "89", the Qabalistic number of "silence", "a body", and "bridal chamber" -and a talismanic formula. [footnote 33: According to Aleister Crowley, the number 89 is "A number of sin- restriction: the wrong kind of silence, that of the Black Brothers". However, Crowley either ignored or was not aware of the vital talismanic formula that is implicity here. The body (GVP, 89) is the tomb or mummy wrapping of the seed destined for the stars. The number is equal to "bridal chamber" or "palace".  When multiplied by the magick of eleven the result is 979. A Qabalistic investigation of 979 may yield much treasure. The number resumes the process of creating a magical child, a homunculus or Star of Nuit - a "Babe in the Egg of Blue".] The rules of this art are "eight and ninety" or 98; they are the soul's perfect opposite, her magical mirror. They are the means by which she unifies the animal, human and divine nature latent in her self:
There is help & hope in other spells. Wisdom says: be strong! Then canst thou bear more joy. Be not animal; refine thy rapture! If thou drink, drink by the eight and ninety rules of art: if thou love, exceed by delicacy; and if thou do aught joyous, let there be subtlety therein! (-AL.II.70)
     89 is also 'THE O', the shape associated with the body of Nuit's expanse (as well as Hadit's) and the Egg of Manifestation they create together. The O is the pure soul, the Ayin or Eye and the Light of the Body. See also the Gnostic manuscript The Discourse on the Eighth and the Ninth, as well as a past post The Faculty of Abraxas (Feb. 15, 2015) for THE FACULTY is also 89. 98 is the UPAYA, or 'expedient' and 'skillful means' of the art.

NOTE: 
Recently I had uploaded two videos which were quickly deemed 'Inappropriate Content' by YouTube, although without any indication as to what was 'inappropriate'. I was soon able to repost one of them under another account, though the second caused me to get a strike making me unable to post for two weeks. I will be using another source for the time being. Chances are there will be many of these attempts to stall progress and I was only waiting for the day to come, but no matter how much the weak and ignorant resist the show must go on.

Feast of the Soul

     Today I read the complete Gnostic Mass in all its parts. I realized there are actually multiple versions of this text, so there may be a few discrepancies. I also made the error of the Virgin greeting Heaven before Earth.

  666 is the GNOSTIC'S MASS in it's Eternally United Trinity through which all are united in a Baptism of Wisdom. THIS IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GNOSTIC! There is none else like it anywhere, even in the highest temples and bunkers. THE SECRET KNOWLEDGE OF THE BEAST was given unto me to give unto you. Here are THE KEYS & POWER OF THE BEAST which the SATANIC CHRIST has been conceived to prepare for you. THE NEW AEON OF AQUARIUS in which the Double-Current is reckoned and THE KNOWLEDGE OF AIWASS has been confirmed in the SYMBOL OF AIWASS, which is AIWASS' VALUE - AIWASS VALUE SIX SIX SIX -  to be beyond the scope of its original Prophet who didn't have the time or technology or confirmations to see the scope of LIBER L VEL LEGIS. It took a few cycles but the Egg came back around and THE SECRET LIBER AL CODE was cracked. THE VALUE OF LIBER AL.II.76 was found to be in
THE SUM OF AL.76 4+6+3+8+A¹+B²+K¹¹+2+4+A¹+L¹²+G³+M¹³+O¹⁶+R²⁰+3+Y¹⁰+X¹⁸+24+89+R²⁰+P¹⁷+S¹⁴+T²²+O¹⁶+V⁶+A¹+L¹²

     (That is, the letters in their ordinal or basic Hebrew values).
'THE' is Teth-9, He-5, He-5   SUM is Samekh-60, Vav-6, Mem-40   OF is Ayin-70, Vav-6   AL is Aleph-1, Lamed-30 (The title of Liber AL)   76 (The verse number) and the following ordinal values, X being taken as Tzaddi. (Note that SUM with Mem final, 600 is also 666 - showing the clue within the alphabet itself) 

     Thus, I have found THE BOOK OF THE LAW FORMULA and THE CURRENT OF 93 in general. This is the NEW SYMBOLS EVIDENCE (AL.II.55) and THE PROOF OF THE AEON that I am THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD DECODE THE VALUE seeing as no one else has. 
This is A CODE USED TO KEEP MAGICK CONTINUITY. THE MIRACLE OF THE EGG OF MA-ION relates to the old cyclical and future story in The Amalantrah Working and it is a Work which must be done. "WHEN YOU FIND THE EGG OF AMALANTRAH"... The Egg as the 0 is equated with the Dragon in Liber 777, which resonates with the Templar/O.T.O. 'BAPHOMET-THE METE-THE BEAST' being as it is essentially hermaphroditic and transmutative as well. It was AMALANTRAH that gave Crowley the true spelling of BAVOMETHR, both of which equal 729, the Cube of 9 which is the Cube of Space, relating to Crowley's Star-Sponge Vision, and perhaps to the 'fractal' Cross of Baphomet. In another sense, we can see that 729 is הדרקון השטן, the Dragon H'Shatan, relating back to the 0, however 'fulfilled'. "Nothingness with Twinkles."
But What Twinkles.

(Note: THE CIRCLE in its lowest form = 270, which when added to 729 = 999, the number of THERION, [with Nun final, 700] the reversed and revealed form from the Hebrew ThRIVN which is 666.) 

Theory and Ritual of Ceremonial Magick

     Reading, writing and then editing and uploading these chapters takes a bit of time amidst many other activities so excuse the fact that the commentary in these posts may come anywhere from a few hours to a few days after the reading. Much of this material needs to be absorbed over time and thought about deeply anyway. After 6 years of deeper occult research and training I am just now becoming adept at some of the more basic concepts and practices and even then I have been said to be catching on and accelerating rather quickly. Some Magicians will find that their training is not so much a complete learning as it is a remembering.
     We finally got done with the final lecture of Eight Lectures on Yoga and went on to read the Preliminary Remarks of Part II, Magick Elementary Theory of Liber ABA (Book 4).

     Regarding the main Initiatory steps along the Path, on Monday we read Liber XIII vel Graduum Montis Abiegni, a Syllabus of the Steps Upon the Path being, 'An account of the task of the Aspirant from Probationer to Adept.' 

     Today was read Chapter 1 of Part II of Book 4, The Temple which is about a paragraph long but contains an important Key. The Temple is the Body and Mind of the Magus, and thus the Master of the Temple is one who has awoken to their True Will and risen in Spirit and Soul above the Abyss to unite with the Trans-Uranian time- and formless Angel abiding in the City of Pyramids.
A MASTER OF THE BODY-TEMPLE = 666, showing yet another telling form of the Solar Intelligence which informs and illumines the bodily temple with THE MAGICKAL LIGHT BODY.
666 is the center of the MAGICKAL POWER-ZONES, not only as Tiphareth, but as the Fractal Core of each Sephira since each Sephira contains the entire Tree ad infinitum. Thus, the abhorrence and denial of the true importance of this number can easily be understood as the suppression of the Hidden Light - THE LOST MAGICK POWER KEY - which I alone have provided for present and future man. Until this Inner Principle is re-awaken ceremonial procedures will be of little value.

 

 

   When the 'lost' Key (or Cornerstone) is found the Initiate becomes a true and upright Microcosm, a Demiurge in his/her own right, albeit in a lesser form of the Grand Macrocosm Without. Crowley says to find the center of the locus of Consciousness, or if that is not to be found then the center of locus of the judging factor. This is the Bindu point which is essentially pointless (Ain), and yet engulfs all. The Eye opens both ways to what has been termed Darkness and Light, God and the Devil, but this is the Magus as Ra-Hoor-Khuit, child of Nuit and Hadit born from their eternal communion in ever-many Ever-Coming 'O's, or Bindu-Eyes (i.e. 'reality tunnels').
   If you consider RA-HOOR-KHUIT (=596) as being the one born in the Egg (O) and being the Sun-disk incarnate as the All-Seeing Eye then his name plus 'O', 70 enumerates to 666 as well. Not only is 666 THE CIRCLE in all its infinite ways, but it is A CEREMONIAL CIRCLE as well, the zone of Magickal Operation spoken of in the next chapter. The Demiurge is the active principle of formation in the Universe which is contained, at least potentially, in the Magus who is the lens of focus for its Cosmic Power. The general idea is to accumulate more ojas or bala, i.e. stored power not for siddhis ('powers'), but for self-preservation, as it becomes increasingly necessary and much more of a priority.
     Magick being the art of causing change to occur in conformity with Will is a true Art and Science. Its mechanics are simple. If you want something you must go about it the proper way, and if it seems 'impossible', it is either a confusing of the planes or just bad timing. Just as water flows along the easiest and most clear defined route, your wishes and desires had either better conform to what is expected of you or you must set matters so that the circumstances conform to your desire. The former is of course the easiest, but least rewarding and potentially even a karmic debt, while the latter takes more effort but is actually constructive - meaning if you're going to set out for it then it may better well be worth it.
