  1. in millennium I of the CE, in the Qabbalistic Etz Chayym, Sephira 11 is that of Da'ath 'Gnosis, Knowledge (by direct experience in the Biblical sense; as when Adam knew his wife, and she conceived and bare a son)';

  2. in millennium II of the CE, in the Qabbalah ¿of the Golden Dawn and? of Aleister Crowley,
    eleven (11) symbolizes the hidden Sephira Da'ath. Aleister Crowley's Eleventh Degree (XI°, 11°) corresponds to direct experiential Knowledge, but not as between Adam and Eve; rather, between two phalloi or between two clitorid, since, in homoerotic sex-Magick, eleven (11) symbolizes the phallus or clitoris doubled (11). Compare: || eleven | elven | fairies | fairy | fairyland ||
    and, in the Magick of Frater Aossic (Kenneth Grant), the Eleventh Degree (XI°, 11°) symbolises sodomy between two people of any sexes whatever.

    Magickal rites of the Eleventh Degree (XI°, 11°) are Workings in the invisible Sephira 11, called Da'ath, which is the False Crown of False Knowledge when approached from below, and so must be approached from above.

  3. in millennium III of the CE, year 2001, month of September, day 11, in New York City, USA, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, which resemble the number 11 written in the North American manner (||) with no on-glide, are first struck when American Airlines Flight #11, which carries 11 crew members, strikes the North Tower.

Summary/Synopsis: this course can be summed-up very simply thus:
The opposite of love is fear;
but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.
Therefore, nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.

'pertaining to [the patriarch] Abraham'

the Abrahamic religions are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

The difference between a Jew, a Pagan, and a Christian, is that:

  • a Pagan washes his before;
  • when a Christian thinks of having sex, he goes and washes his hands instead.

The Book of The Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin The Mage
describes the Abramelin Operation, which is a working of theurgy whose object or purpose is
to enable the karcist to obtain the Augoeides, which is:


members of the GD, aspiring to Thelma, work the rites of Abra-Melin, but only Fratri SRMD (Mathers) and Perdurabo claim to have succeeded; and only Frater Perdurabo appears to have in fact succeeded; the claim of the ferociously flamboyant Mathers is almost certainly spurious, given that he fails to either substantiate his claim or to achieve any meritorious result or to discover his true will; rather, what he does, is hardly his true will, since others do say nay (AL I:43) and force him into obscurity. refer to Martin Booth, A Magick Life, pp 95:m–whither

Abysm, abysmal, Abyss of Abada || Chaos | Tiamat | Leviathan | Behemoth | Hell | Hellmouth ||

[< Greek, 'pit']

regarding the Abyss and Chaos: cf :
the King James version of the Christian Bible translates the Greek word "Abysm", meaning 'pit', as 'bottomless pit',
as when the Book of the Apocalypse speaks of the Dweller in the Abyss
v. Rev. 9:1-2, 9:11, and 11:7

the Hohlweltlehre or hollow earth theory of Hans Hrbiger says that the form of planet Tellus is that of a torus (or doughnut or donut); and that the inside, called the Abyss (which, being inside a torus, is bottomless), is illuminated by a central sun, and inhabited.

the Veil of the Abyss of Abada, which separates the Supernal from the Middle Triad on the qabbalistic Etz Chayym, is the Veil of the Temple of the High Priestess which is covered with a design of alternating palm-leaves and pomegranates.

the Desert of Sand is the Wasteland that spans the Abyss which the mystic, having attained to the Grade of Adeptus Exemptus 7° = 4, and having sworn the Oath of the Abyss, must, by himself, cross on the back of the Camel to attain to the Grade of Magister Templi ['Master of the Temple'] 8° = 3, else remain mad and possibly commit suicide.Cornelius, In, Two, p 63:b

the point at which the qabbalistic Path of Gmel crosses the Abyss,
is the locus of the supposedly false Sephira 11, which is called Daath [Hebrew, 'Knowledge'], which is said to be false knowledge.

|| Abysm | Abyss ||
 
accident(s)

|| accident | concidence | omen | synchronicity ||

There are no accidents,
nor are there any mere concidences;
therefore, every event that occurs is an omen.

However, to treat every event as an omen,
would require that we spend more time evaluating the significance of those omens,
than the time that it takes for them to occur;
so we'd fall permanently behind in our evaluations,
and we'd have no time left over in which to do anything else.

Therefore, occultists have a proverb that says that:
if an event occurs only once, then we treat it as a mere accident;
and if it occurs only twice, then we treat it as a mere concidence;
but if it occurs thrice, then it's synchronous;
and its synchronicity indicates that it's an omen,
and the occurrence of an omen indicates that
Someone is trying to tell us Something.
So says Hymenus Alpha 777.

Karl Haushofer becomes Hitler's second "esoteric mentor", replacing Dietrich Eckart, and introduces Hitler to the "secret" psychological techniques of the esoteric lodges, including the Zen teachings of the Japanese Society of the Green Dragon, and the Sufi and Tibetan techniques of Gurdjeff. Hitler's use of these techniques is the source of his unusual power of suggestion. "Hitler speaks" shows that Hitler has read Liber AL, of which Martha Kntzel has given him a copy;

but Aleister Crowley says in Magick Without Tears Chapter XLVIII that Hitler "was very far indeed from being a full initiate, even in the loosest sense of the term."

Age(s) || Ages of the Goddess | Ages of the Great Year | Age_of_Reckoning | Axial Age | time ||

Time is a cycle or Wheel, each of whose spokes ends an Age and begins a new Age.
The True Source of the One Power turns the Wheel of Time.
As the Wheel of Time turns, the Ages pass; and as the Ages pass, places bear many names, and men bear many names and wear many faces, all names different and all faces different, but always the same man.
As each Age passes, it leaves behind memories which fade to legends which fade to myths which are long forgotten when the Age of their origin returns.
Each time that an Age returns, its pattern differs slightly from its previous patterns, and is subject to greater change, but the Age is nevertheless the same Age.
For the Pattern of an Age, good and ill are the warp and the woof.
A pattern that is all one color is no pattern.
The Wheel of Time weaves all lives and all actions into the Pattern of the Ages.
No one knows how the thread of their own life will be woven into the Pattern,
nor how the thread of a people will be woven, nor the Pattern of an Age,
much less the Great Pattern. We can only watch, and study, and hope.

Frater Lux Veritatis says that, since w and v are equivalent in Hebrew,
FraterPerdurabo initially used the spelling Aivas for the sake of
the gematria, so that the numeration would equal 78;
until someone who knew Hebrew better than Perdurabo did,
told Perdurabo that the numeration of Aiwaz עיוז is 93.

Alastor || demons | Pilgrim | Seeker | Traveller ||

Alastor is said to be known to Zoroaster as the Executioner, and to Origen as Azazel.

In the infernal hierarchy, he is the Nemesis.

The ancients called evil spirits "alastores"; an alastor is a tormenting spirit or a Nemesis.

in Greek mythology, the demon Alastor is originally the mortal son of Neleus, king of Pylos. When Heracles slays Alastor and his brothers, Alastor becomes a minor demon. He is an evil genius of a house who leads men to commit crimes and sin, and is also a demon of vengeance who visits the sins of the fathers upon their children, and foments blood-feuds between families. periphrasal from "Alastor" by Micha F. Lindemans, online at http://www.pantheon.org/articles/a/alastor.html

Collin de Plancy is quoted as saying, in his Dictionnaire Infernal of 1863, that "Plutarch says that Cicero hated Augustus so much that he conceived of a plan to kill himself outside the foyer of Augustus in order to become his alastor."
"Sometimes he resolved to go into Csar's house privately, and there kill himself upon the altar of his household gods, to bring divine vengeance upon him; but the fear of torture put him off this course."
Plutarch, Parallel Lives, verse 68 of Cicero's biography

from Erinyes, online at http://www.deliriumsrealm.com/delirium/mythology/alastor.asp
Percy Bysshe Shelley, in his poem of 1816 entitled "Alastor; or, The Spirit of Solitude" which is online at http://eir.library.utoronto.ca/rpo/display/poem1880.html, warns idealists that if they continue to seek an ideal love, the world will torment them, and they will die lonely.

Albertus Magnus, [Latin, 'Albert the Great'], CE 1193-1280 or 1200-1280

Albertus Magnus (Saint Albert the Great), of Cologne, is a German medival alchemist, the teacher of Saint Thomas Aquinas, and reputed to have invented the cannon and the pistol.

According to the New Catholic Encyclopedia of 1967, Saint Albert the Great, of Cologne, Dominican friar and sometime bishop of Regensburg, now a Doctor of the Church, was skilled in natural science and all branches of philosophy and theology. Saint Albert studied at the University of Paris and later taught there, after receiving a bachelor's degree in theology and a master's in the same subject. He undertook to explain all branches of knowledge, including logic, metaphysics, rhetoric, mathematics, ethics, astronomy, politics, and economics. This twenty-year program, "one of the marvels of medival scholarship," earned him the honorific title Doctor Universalis. For three years he was also a faithful provincial of the German Dominicans. He attained considerable prestige, especially in Germany, and was declared a saint in 1622.

Aleister / Alexander Edward Crowley, 1875-1947 || AL | other ||

English poet and novelist; accomplished chess-player and mountain-climber, mystic, ritual magician, and spy.

"The Hermit of Aesopus Island" mentioned by Scott Michaelsen in Portable Darkness p 51:n-11, is Aleister Crowley on Montauk Island.

Aleister Crowley, who is a man of great personal magnetism, is the greatest occultist and ritual magician of the twentieth century of the Common Era, or, as he called it, the era vulgaris (cf the Era Nostra, which begins in the spring of the Common Era).

in CE 1875 e.v., in Leamington Spa, England,
Aleister Crowley, 1875-1947, is born Edward Alexander Crowley,
to Edward Crowley, brewer of Crowley ale, and his wife,
who belong to a strict Christian sect called the Plymouth Brethren.

When he reaches adulthood, he adopts the name Aleister Crowley, among many others, including: and, during the 72 years of this incarnation, 1875–1947, he imprints himself upon the Western Magickal Tradition so indelibly that to many people he is the Western Magickal Tradition.

Some believe that Crowley is a spiritual seeker;
others, that he is a dark magician of heinous evil;
and still others, that he is both.

Lord Beaverbrook, who owns a major British newpaper, publicly and in print calls Crowley "the wickedest man in the world"; and initially this pleases Crowley, who believes that bad publicity is better than no publicity; but it causes him to be ostracised from mainstream English society, and he falls into obscurity and dies penniless in a cheap lodging-house.

A list of the books (in Latin, Libri) that Crowley wrote, entitled The Libri of Aleister Crowley, is at the site http://www.hermetic.com/crowley/

in 1947.October.12, Aleister Crowley, a.k.a. Frater Perdurabo, sheds his mortal coil.

Patricia Baker says that "Aleister [Crowley]'s legacy attracts many new converts to the Occult even today, and he is said to still command considerable loyalty even from beyond the grave."

Choosing which part of the history of Crowley's life to tell is the most challenging part of writing his biography, because the more one learns about Crowley, the more one wants to learn.

biography/chronology of Aleister Crowley includes:
  • circa 1911: a medical doctor prescribes morphine
  • 1920.11: Cephaldium Working

The occultist and Thelemite Lon Milo DuQuette, and Jim Bratkowsky of Cinemagic, are said to be making a cinematic biography of Aleister Crowley entitled "Aleister Crowley: The Revolt of the Magicians"

in Buddhist doctrine, the Pāli word anatt [Sanskrit antm(n)], meaning 'no-self, non-self, not-self, devoid of self' (selfless(ness), soulless(ness)), denotes the belief that one of the Three Characteristics of Being or Three Characteristics of Existence is that there is no permanent human soul that re-incarnates from one body to another.

for convenience, we refer to ourselves conventionally as "I"; but what is this I? is it my physical body? my emotions? my thoughts? my consciousness? does it exist in the sense that I am a thing-in-itself, denoted by a noun, and separate from all other things?

Shakyamuni-Buddha says: no, there is no such entity; there is no self. in fact, we're verbs, not nouns.

enlightened mystics speak of the terrible beauty of God and of the Angels:
"Who, if I cried out, might hear meamong the ranked Angels?
Even if One suddenly clasped me to his heart
I would die of the force of his being. For Beauty is only
the infant of scarcely endurable Terror, and we
are amazed when it casually spares us.
Every Angel is terrible."
Rainer Maria Rilke, The First Elegy
Angels are entities called Devas or Daevas in Aryan, and also in Sanskrit; in Iranian, Zarathushtra makes them devils.

Anglo-Saxon

Anglo-Saxon, also called Old English, which became the Middle English of Chaucer, which became the modern English of Shakespeare.

folks who are down-to-earth and real still use words from Anglo-Saxon; but the Norman Conquest of England made the use of Anglo-Saxon infra dig among the Norman aristocracy; so, if you want to fart higher than your arse, then you should use the Anglo-Norman and ecclesiastic Latin terminology.

Angra Mainyu > Ahriman > Ahrimans; Asalor

Avestan god-name Angra Mainyu > Middle Iranian Ahriman > Greek Ahrimans & cf Asalor.

in Mazdasm as taught by Zarathushtra, Angra-Mainyu is the name of the principle, or angel, or Lord, of Darkness, of falsity and lies, and of evil,
who is the enemy of Ahura-Mazda who is the principle, or angel, or Lord, of Light, of Truth, and of good.

anguish, dissatisfaction, dolor [Latin, 'pain'] , dukka [Pāli, 'burden; pain, suffering'] , dukkha [Sanskrit, 'burden; pain, suffering'], pain, sorrow, stress, suffering || Four (Noble) Truths | compassion | passions | Buddhism ||

the truth of the fact of suffering is the first of the Four (Noble) Truths of Buddhism.

suffering [dukkha] is caused by attachment / clinging / craving / desire / grasping.
what makes us suffer is not what happens to us, but rather our belief about what happens to us.

suffering is caused by craving, which is excessive desire. it is not what happens to us that makes us suffer, but rather our belief about what happens to us. craving is a form of attachment which is a wish to control.
Remove suffering, not by removing desire, which is necessary and essential; rather, by removing craving, which is excessive desire.

craving is a form of attachment, which in turn is a wish to control.

the passions are the causes of anguish, dolor, dukka, dukkha, pain, sorrow, abd suffering.

dukkha results from the passions, q.v.

the Four (Noble) Truths of Buddhism tell of the fact of the existence, of the cause, of the cessation, and of the path to the cessation of dukkha 'suffering'.

All life is suffering. First Great Truth of the Buddha Siddhartha Gautama

Life's tough. Then you die. proverb

Refer to what Gurdjeff said about voluntary suffering.

Refer to the book: Ein Psycholog erlebt das Konzentrationslager (in English: Man's search for meaning) (sterreich/Austria & ubique, 1946 & ff) by Viktor E. Frankl, a Viennese psychiatrist who survived Nazi concentration-camps and then created a form of existential therapy that he called logotherapy.

Life is a series of difficult problems, which is why we enjoy it;
if life were easy, then it would bore us, just as the game of tic-tac-toe bores us once we've mastered it and understand how never to lose at it.

So we can choose to moan about our problems and not solve them,
or to solve them and not get to moan about them.

To solve all of life's problems requires total discipline.

anicca, impermant (changeable, ephemeral, inconstant, transitory, unstable) || Three Characteristics of Existence | Buddhism | Emptiness ||

in Buddhist doctrine, anicca 'impermanence' is one of the Three Characteristics of Existence

all here is like the movements of dancers onstage, or of people in a room, or in a public place such as a marketplace, park, street, waiting-room, etc.

If you're in a bad situation, don't worry; it'll change. If you're in a good situation, don't worry; it'll change. —John A. Simone, Sr.

all beings and all phenomena are empty-and-devoid of independent, permanent essence.

any attachment to, or grasping at, any manifestation, is like grasping at a rainbow. Loppn Jigme Thutop Namgyal Rinpoche

this is because all things and all manifestations are changing and becoming and ephemeral and impermanent and transitory and unstable;

so practice diligently.

For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.AL I:44

antahkarana || Self ||


the Antahkarana is the connection between the physical brain and the Higher Self.

this symbol is multi-dimensional: from one perspective, it appears to be two dimensional, and composeed of three sevens on a flat surface, which three sevens symbolize the seven chakras, the seven colors and the seven tones of the [Occidental] musical scale, which the book of Revelation calls the seven seals, the seven candlesticks, and the seven trumpets. see Alice Bailey et alii.

from another perspective it appears to be a tri-dimentional cube.

  2. cause and origin of suffering [Pli samudaya sacca]: suffering has an arising, a cause and origin [Pli samudaya 'arising'], namely craving [drishta, cognate with English thirst; lobha; rga];
    suffering is caused by, originates in, and results from, craving;
  3. cessation and termination of suffering [Pli nirodha sacca]: suffering can be terminated; one can cease to suffer by ceasing to crave.
  4. cessation and termination of craving [Pli magga sacca]: one can cease craving, and thus terminate suffering, by following the Ashtadika Marga, the (Holy) Eightfold Middle Path (symbolized by the dharmachakra), which lies between any two extremes [http://www.mythsdreamssymbols.com/being.html], and which leads to to Enlightenment, and thus to a new world-view, and to Liberation from the illusion of saṃsara and from the cycle of rebirth.

Jewish eschatology says that when the end-time begins, the Messiah ben Ephraim [Hebrew, 'born of Ephraim [the northern kingdom, Israel]'] will appear; then Armiluss will appear, and will lead the armies of Gog and Magog against the Messiah ben Ephraim at the battle of Armageddon, and will murder him, and the corpse of the Messiah ben Ephraim will be left to the scavengers; but the Messiah ben David, whom the Christians believe to be Jesus, will appear and will resurrect him.

Armiluss is a magickal motto or name of Frater Belarion 210.

[Sanskrit Arya, 'Noble']

The terms *Aryan and *ProtoIndoEuropean, which are commonly used to denote this concept, are much less than satisfactory:
  • the term *Aryan(s) in the inclusive sense is ambiguous;
  • the constipated scientific term *ProtoIndoEuropean is ghastly:
    i cannot imagine one of their orators climbing up onto a wain and addressing them as
    "Friends, *ProtoIndoEuropeans, tribesmen: Lend me your ear."
    However, i can easily imagine "Friends, *Aryans, tribesmen..."
so i prefer the term(s) *Proto-Aryan(s), or, informally, *PIE-folk and *PIE-speak.

the ambiguous term *Aryan in the inclusive sense, and the ghastly constipated scientific term *ProtoIndoEuropean, refer to :
Aryan in the exclusive sense, also called by the scientific term Indo-Iranian, refers to :
  • the Aryan or IndoEuropean-speaking tribe who called themselves Arya, according to documentary attestation, and who invaded both Iran, to whom they gave their name, and northern India;
  • their language and its descendants:

Regarding Waking, cf Sleep.

Awakening (that is, the Awakening of Consciousness) is rebirth.

"asleep in Adam, awake in Christ" Anderson, Unknowable, p. 53:t

One Awakens by the Grace of God, not by meritorious effort or works.

A. R. Orage examines sleep and waking as a psycho-spiritual metaphor:
"To be aware that we are asleep is to be on the point of waking; and to be aware that we are only partially awake is the first condition of becoming and making ourselves more fully awake.
conclusion of essay "Are We Awake?" by A. R. Orage, first published in a series of articles titled "Fifteen Exercises in Practical Psychology" in Psychology Magazine (New York) between April 1925 and January 1926.
source: http://www.gurdjieff.org/orage.htm
Awakening results in nirvāṇa.

I would die of the force of his being. For Beauty is only

Every Angel is terrible."

Belief; believe; Believer, believer exists in the domain of ignorance, and is a miserable substitute for Certitude, which comes from Knowledge. Liars and crooks such as popes, other clergymen, and politicians, discourage Knowledge, which gives Certitude, and enables folk to see through their lies; rather, liars encourage belief in their lies; and if you, dear reader, believe the lies of those liars, then you will probably wish to buy from me, at a very reduced price, some prime oceanfront real estate in West Texas.

Big Bad Words: On obscenity, profanity, and taboo (magickal, and therefore absolute, prohibition);

and why, as little children ask their parents, we're not supposed to use the Big Bad Words, when it's okay to use synonyms such as "caca" and "poo-poo" and "feces" and "pipi" and "urine" and "penis" and "vagina" and "vulva" and "fornicate" and "coitus" and "rut", which, as little children point out to their parents, denote the same things.

The reason may have to do with the fact that folks periodically conduct magickal rites, including fertility rites so that they can reproduce as they must if their tribe is to survive; and they begin these rites by invoking the ithyphallic Opener of the Ways (called variously Elegbara, Eleggu, Tahuti, Hermes, et ctera) whose herald is Priapus, the deity of the ithyphalls, and turning themselves on sexually by sexual expression, including public nudity, which would be taboo if done obscenely or profanely. But since public nudity and the sight of the genitals has no emotional charge, and is not emotionally loaded, for long-time nudists, nor for folks like our distant ancestors, and members of some present-day bush tribes, who have never worn a stitch of clothing, such folk can and do accomplish this purpose by putting a taboo on, and abstaining, when outside the temple, from the obscene or profane use of certain words and gestures. This causes those words and gestures to acquire an emotional charge that turns folks on when they use them during the enactment of the sacred rites on-scene within the temple, where the taboo against their use does not apply.

Cf also:
  • the obscene Hebrew four-letter Name of God (G_d to many Jews) Who is very horny (that is, ithyphallic and potent);
  • the taboo against words that denote excretion and excrement, which turn some people on sexually.

The emblem of Vril is the Black Sun, which symbolises or depicts the godhead's inner light in the form of an equal-limbed cross, not much different from the German Knight's Cross. The symbol of the Black Sun can be found in many Babylonian and Assyrian temples.

Vril is said to be derived from the Black Sun, which is one or both of the following:
  • an infinite beam of light which, though invisible to the human eye, is real;
  • a big ball of "Prima Materia" which:
    • exists in the center of the Earth,
    • serves as a subterranean furnace which is identified with the forge of the god Velnius of the Old Prussian pantheon,
    • emits radiation in the form of Vril,
    • gives light and energy to the Vril-ya and to the other races within the earth.

They of the Vril Society believe that:
  • their source of power is the Black Sun;
  • Aryans are "the biologic ancestors of the Black Sun", whatever that means.

chakra

[English chakra < Sanskrit cakra, 'wheel' whose initial letter "c" represents a palatal occlusive or stop.]

A chakra is all of the following:
The chakras are situated along the sushumna which is the central column of the caduceus of Hermes or Mercury and is parallel to the spinal column which the ancient Egyptians symbolize as the djed-column.

The chakras are conventionally considered to be seven in number, viz. :

  1. The first, muladhara [Sanskrit 'root'], basal, base, or root chakra, where the Fire-Snake named Kundalin lies coiled below the coccyx or tail-bone, corresponds to the anus, to the alimentary canal, which is serpentine, to the tenth Sephira, Malkth, 'Kingdom' which is ruled by Saturn, and, according to Kenneth Grant, to a certain occult center in California.

  2. The second chakra, the svaddhisthana or swaddhisthana cakra, or sexual chakra, corresponds to the genitals and to the gonads, to sex, and to the ninth Sephira, Yesd, 'Foundation' which is inhabited by the animal instincts and corporeal cravings called in Hebrew the nefesh, and is ruled by Lna, the Moon.

  3. The third chakra, the nabhi or manipura cakra, or gut-chakra, corresponds to the gut, or "solar plexus" (really the jovial plexus), to power and to dominance, and to the Path of Peh, from Netzach to Hd which are ruled respectively by Venus and Mercury.

  4. The fourth chakra, the anahata cakra, or heart chakra, corresponds to the heart, to compassion, and to the fifth qabbalistic Sephira, Tiphret(h), 'Beauty' which is ruled by Sl.

  5. The fifth chakra, the viuddha or visuddha or vishuddha cakra, or laryngeal chakra, or throat chakra, corresponds to the throat, and to the Path of Teth, from Chesed to Geburah which are ruled respectively by Jupiter and Mars; or to Da'ath.

  6. The sixth chakra, the aja cakra, or third_eye chakra, or pineal chakra, corresponds to the third_eye, or the pineal gland, which corresponds to the sixth or Aja chakra, and to Da'ath, or to the Path of Daleth, from the second Sephira, Chokmah, 'Wisdom', to the third Sephira, Binh, 'Understanding' which is ruled by Saturn.

  7. The seventh chakra, the sahasrara cakra, or crown chakra, corresponds to the crown, to the lotus, and to the first Sephira, Kther, 'Crown'.

The chakras correspond to the cities of the interior.

Some occultists have posited the existence of three or more :
  • caudal or codal chakras in animals who have tails;
  • phantom caudal or codal chakras in humans, which enables humans to downshift and explore the subterranean worlds, which is so dangerous that i advise that one not do it unless one is a drooling idiot.

Chalcedon

in CE 451, Byzantine emperor Marcian convokes the Fourth cumenical Council, that of Chalcedon, which decrees the dual nature of the Christ : Chalcedonianism posits that the Christ has two natures, one divine and one human ; and this causes the Chalcedonian schism : the Patriarchs of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem, and many others, refuse to accept this, and schismate, and produce the monophysite Oriental Orthodox churches ; see the Catholic_Encyclopedia.

Christian, Christianity, Christians

Christians are first so caalled in Luke-Acts.

Christianity, which is an Abrahamic religion, is, unlike the others, the worship of Isa/Jesu/Jesus/Yeheshua the Nazarene as a god.

The difference between a Jew, a Pagan, and a Christian, is that:
  • a Jew washes his hands after he has sex;
  • a Pagan washes his before;
  • when a Christian thinks of having sex, he goes and washes his hands instead.

"The Christian Church is a sexual-suppression society."
Alan Wilson Watts (who, being a Christian priest, should know), orally

The early Christian Church is infested with eunuchs of the cult of castration to such an extent that the early Christian fathers feel temselves compelled to issue an edict prohibitng Christians from castrating themselves; yet Christianity at its core is still anti-life, anti-sex, anti-female, and anti-Nature;
and, unlike the other Abrahamic religions, and in spite of the denials of hypocritic Christians, non-Unitarian Christianity is really Trinitarian, not monotheistic;

Cf some of the more atrocious events in European Christian ecclesiastic history:
  • the prohibition of marriage for the Roman Catholic priests, still in effect,
    which attracts child-molesters and other perverts to the clergy.
  • the former tortures and "autos-da-f" of the Inquisition, especially in Spain;
  • the former castration of boys for the choir in Italy;

Latin Christianity is a religion of:
  • adversity
  • failure
  • humiliation
  • persecution
  • suffering
  • crucifixion
  • death (Osiris, Hadit)

Cf christology and the Churches, and also :
Nevertheless, where all the pre-Christian religions, being elitist, teach that salvation from damnation, and everlasting life through many incarnations, are reserved to royal initiates exclusively, as Robert Graves points out in The White Goddess, Christianity triumps over them by teaching that all humans, being children of God, can, by following the teachings of Jesus, be saved from damnation and be granted life everlasting in Heaven; and this revolutionary teaching makes Christianity strong enough to conquer first Armenia, then the Roman Empire, and finally all of Europe.

Later, Christian Europe produces the Enlightenment with its belief that all humans have rights, and with its resultant political freedom that so many abuse.

the Church inspires compassion and generosity, has abolished religious ritual literal physical blood-sacrifice in the usual sense of the term, and constitutes the spiritual center of traditional communities; so it is unwise to try to deprive these folk of their faith.

Christmas

Christmas, which is the Feast of Santa Claus, who is Saint Nicholas, is celebrated on December 25, three or four days after Yule, because December 25 is the natal day, or birth-day, of Mithras, who is the Sol Invictus whom the Roman Christian syncresis assimilates to Jesus Christ, who is, historically, probably born in the springtime.

coincidence(s)

|| accident | concidence | omen | synchronicity ||

There are no accidents,
nor are there any mere concidences;
therefore, every event that occurs is an omen.

However, to treat every event as an omen,
would require that we spend more time evaluating the significance of those omens,
than the time that it takes for them to occur;
so we'd fall permanently behind in our evaluations,
and we'd have no time left over in which to do anything else.

Therefore, occultists have a proverb that says that:
if an event occurs only once, then we treat it as a mere accident;
and if it occurs only twice, then we treat it as a mere concidence;
but if it occurs thrice, then it's synchronous;
and its synchronicity indicates that it's an omen,
and the occurrence of an omen indicates that
Someone is trying to tell us Something.
So says Hymenus Alpha 777.

the first insight of the book The Celestine Prophecy (pronounced Celstine), by James Redfield, is that one should notice concidences and synchronicities.

creation

Shirley MacLaine says that "life itself is an illusion or dream that deeply affects us because of its lessons... [Actors] in the movie business create illusions for other people to believe in as real, while [they] are doing the same thing with [themselves] in [their] own lives. In other words, we [are] each responsible for creating everything that happens to us. Therefore, we [are] empowered to uncreate as well, if we so desire." Shirley MacLaine, My lucky stars, p. 302:t

Da'ath, Gnosis, Knowledge || 11 | Fool | Awake | Enlightenment | Gnostic | Gnosticism | Gnostics | Hellmouth | nirvāṇa | Os Abysmi | Pluto | secrecy | Sephira 11 | Sleep | Source | Waking ||

Hebrew Da'ath, and Greek Gnosis, both refer to Knowledge in the Biblical sense, which is Gnosis or Knowledge by direct experience,
as for example carnal Knowledge, as when Adam went in unto his wife and knew her [carnally], and she conceived, and bare a son.]

On the Etz Chayym, which is the Qabbalistic Tree of Life:


Da'ath, which is the very deepest Knowledge, corresponds astrologically to Pluto which rules secrecy;
Those who know don't talk.
Those who talk don't know.
(and Chokmah corresponds to Uranus, and Kether to Neptune).

rites of the Eleventh Degree (XI°, 11°) are Magickal Workings in the invisible Sephira 11, called in Hebrew Da'ath [Hebrew, 'Gnosis, Knowledge'].

Knowledge is power.

Knowledge is not Wisdom, nor is it the mere acquaintance with information.

Knowledge which is Gnosis and Da'ath
is the antidote for spiritual Sleep and Ignorance,
is obtainable only when one Awakens spiritually,
and is, by the Grace of God, available to Initiates at the Source.
He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool; shun him.
He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a child; teach him.
He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep; wake him.
He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise; follow him.

beginning in the 1940s, the materialist amateur writer Richard S Shaver wrote stories which editor Ray_Palmer began publishing, in ghost-rewritten form, in Amazing_Stories, and later elsewhere until 1975, and which posited that, millennia ago, ancient extraterrestrial astronauts or space-people visited our planet physically, and on it established subterranean colonies called Caves, and their descendants survive still in their underworld, always remain hidden from all of us except the few agents of the Deros, and use their scientifically advanced Ray technology to manipulate us. Some Rays can wound or kill, some can heal or retard aging, and some can enable telepathic communication and remotely control thoughts and emotions.

  • Derosdegenerate, ignorant, and insane cannibalistic tyrants;
  • Terosbenevolent;
  • help from space-ships comes to the Teros only sporadically;
  • ET governments have other problems, and so ignore planet Tellus;
  • we must help the Teros!

Animals use determinism to their own ends; therefore, determinism is an adjunct to free will, which in turn is equivalent to uncertainty. Arthur Young, orally in the 1980s

so, at the Equinox of the Gods, the gods of the Old Religion become the devils of the new religion:
in the Unholy Trinity of the Apocalypse, the first member is the great red Dragon of Revelation 12 ff, whom Revelation 12:9 and 20:2 calls "that old serpent, which is ... called the Devil, and Satan".

the Devil's "pitchfork" is the Trident of Shiva, Poseidon et alii, which symbolizes his dominion over earth, air, and sea.

Atu XV is the Arcanum or Atu or Key of the The Devil, whose Feast is Hallowe'en.

the Devil is Uril, the Archangel of the North and Regent of the Element Earth, and of the Gnomes, and of the Underworld, and the Dweller on, and Guardian of, the Threshold of the Underworld which is the subconscious mind, and teaches the most difficult lessons.

Once upon a time, someone invited me to a Halloween party at the house of a psychiatrist who had asked his guests to dress to represent what they discovered when they examined their subconscious mind; so i went as the Devil, and the psychiatrist asked me why. I told him that when one ventures into the mental Underworld which is one's subconscious mind, one first meets the Guardian of the Threshold, who is the Devil, who is all one's socially unacceptable aspects that one has denied, and demonized or diabolized, and repressed and shoved this Devil down across the Threshold into one's subconsciousness, where it remains as the Dweller on the Threshold;
so everyone should come to the party dressed as the Devil.
The psychiatrist put his finger over his lips and said: Sh....

Devotee

Crowley, in his "New" comment on the Book of the Law, says, regarding AL I:40,
that the man of Earth corresponds to the Devotee; and i've noticed that
both of these correspond to what Gurdjeff calls the Fakir;
therefore : all correspond to each other; and the one who is called by any of these names, works in what Gurdjeff calls the First Way in which some have tried to accomplish the Magnum Opus or Great Work, namely the Way of the Fakir, who disciplines the physical body by hatha-yoga, and thus develops control of the physical body.

Re the drama, Shakespeare says: "All the world's a stage, and we're the actors on it." Cf the dramatis person, which are literally the tragic and comic masks of the drama which is enacted on the stage of the theatre, and also on the stage which is the world.
 
dramatis personae || personae ||

The dramatis person [Latin, 'masks or persons of the drama'] are:
  1. the persons or personalities which are literally the tragic and comic masks [Latin per 'through' + son 'sound'] of the drama which is enacted on the stage of the theatre;
  2. figuratively, the cast of characters of the drama which is enacted on the stage of the theatre, and also on the stage which is the world
Cf the three dramatis person of the Tarot, namely :
  1. Isis, the Herone (woman and girl) of the Tarot, is the female Mystic, namely the High Priestess; and also the Empress, the female Lover, &c.
  2. Asar | Auser | Osiris, the Hero (man and boy) of the Tarot, is the Magus, Emperor, the male Lover, et ctera; and also the male Mystic, namely the Hierophant, the Hanged Man, and the Hermit.
  3. Hrus, the androgyne or Hermaphrodite, is the Magickal Childe of Isis and Asar | Auser | Osiris, of Atu XX.
The identity of the Villain or Anti-Hero of the Tarot, who is the Devil, is not known to Isis, nor to Asar | Auser | Osiris; only Hrus knows; but, since the Devil is androgynous or Hermaphroditic, his identity should be obvious.

the second bardo.

dreams are mental images and ideas, and feelings, which are
not under the command nor the control of the reason nor of the intellect,
but rather, arise from the subconscious mind;
thus, the dream, whose language is images and feeling(s),
is the only key to the subconscious mind and to our subconscious life,
and includes :
poetic works (that is, poetry and poetic prose), and also
certain paintings, certain sculptures, and certain edifices,
have their roots in the subconscious mind;
so Dr Carl Gustav Jung recommends that one
proceed from the dream outward.

in trance and in dreams, one can cross the boundary between the daily mundane and the divine; cf ecstasy and cf visions.

the dream is one of the weapons of the surrealists in their war against somnambulism.

the dream is the magic mirror that always tells true. ref Jeremy Taylor: Where people fly, and water runs uphill

“We are such stuff
as dreams are made of; and our little life
is rounded with a sleep.”
Prospero, in Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” Act 4, Scene 1, 148-158.

Shirley MacLaine, in My lucky stars, p. 302:t, says that "life itself is an illusion or dream that deeply affects us because of its lessons... [Actors] in the movie business create illusions for other people to believe in as real, while [they] are doing the same thing with [themselves] in [their] own lives. In other words, we [are] each responsible for creating everything that happens to us. Therefore, we [are] empowered to uncreate as well, if we so desire."

Wilhelm Stekel was the first to introduce the study of dreams to psychoanalysis.

dream-image of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream, described by the Hebrew prophet Dani-el

in BCE 604, in Bab-ilu (Babylon), King Nebuchadnezzar or Nabuchodonosor dreams of an image of himself, which he forgets, and the Hebrew prophet Dani-el describes thus:
  • the golden head of himself symbolises the Babylonian empire;
  • the silver chest and arms symbolise the empire of the Medes and the Persians;
  • the brass/bronze belly and thighs symbolise the Hellenistic empire of the Greeks under Alexander II of Macedon;
  • the iron legs symbolise the empire of Rome;
  • the feet of mixed iron and clay symbolise the world divided between Rome and Byzantium, and their disunited successors in Europe and the rest of Asia: Charlemagne, Genghiz Khan, Charles V, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, et alii, all of whom try and fail to unite the world;
  • the toes are generally believed to symbolise an unstable form of government (the United Nations organization?) that will soon supersede contemporary nation-states (the United Nations organization benefits the world by its programs of education, health, humanitarian aid, and peace-keeping; but its globalising tries to eradicate religious diversity and terminate national sovereignty);
  • the stone cut out without hands, which destroys the image, becomes a great mountain, and fills the whole earth, symbolises the kingdom of God, which destroys all kingdoms of men, and rules forever.
  • Refer to: Bible, Old Testament, Book of Daniel, Chapter 2.

Emerald Tablet of Hermes_Trismegistus [< Latin Tabula Smaragdina, 'Emerald Tablet']

"a work on alchemy attributed to Hermes Trismegistus" Encyclopdia Britannica

The Emerald Table of Hermes Trismegistos [my translation of the Latin version of Henricus/Heinrich Khunrath]

The words of the secrets of Hermes --
[This is] true, without deception, [rather] certain and most true:

What is below is like what is above, and
what is above is like what is below,
to accomplish the miracles of the one thing.
And as all things were produced from the one thing, by the mediation of the one Being,
so all things are born from this one thing, by adaptation.

Its father is the sun, its mother the moon; the wind has carried it in its belly, its nourishment is the earth.
The father of all perfection throughout the world is this.
Its strength is intact if it be turned toward the earth.
Separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, acting carefully and with great skill.

Ascend with the greatest sagacity from the earth to heaven, and then again descend to earth,
and unite the powers of things superior and inferior.
Thus you will obtain the glory of all the world; and all obscurity will flee from you.
This has more fortitude than fortitude itself,
because it conquers every subtle thing and can penetrate every solid.

Thus has the world been created.
Hence proceed marvels and wonders, in the manner which is described here.
Therefore I am called Hermes Trismegistus,
having three parts of the philosophy of the whole world.

That which I had to say concerning the operation of the sun is completed.

English

English is a Latino-Germanic creole descended from a Germanic creole called Olde English or Anglo-Saxon, which is a creole of the Norse dialects of the Jutes from Jutland and the Angles from what is today Denmark, and the Teutonic dialect of the Saxons from Saxony.

During World War II, English became, and by 1945 it was, the planetary interlanguage; and, in this present incarnation, i don't have remaining to me enough time to write everything here in more than one language; so i've written this page, or scroll, in English only, and used terms from other languages only when necessary; and those who wish to read this opus will simply have to learn English. Life's tough; then you die.

English pseudo-Latin includes terms such as:
  • absquatulate
  • conniption
  • discombobulate

Most North Americans who imagine themselves to be native speakers of English are not really such;

English alphabet

Regarding the English alphabet, cf the passage in Liber AL that says:
Thou shalt obtain the order & value of the English alphabet;
thou shalt find new symbols to attribute them unto. AL II:55
but not just anyone can do this.

"the order & value of the English alphabet":
its letters may perhaps be correlatable with either the IPA or the ASCII,
and their letters may be the "new symbols to attribute them unto."

"new symbols to attribute them unto":
just as the Ox is attributed to Aleph, the house to Bth, the Camel to Gmel, etc,
or as the Major Arcana of the Tarot are attributed to the letters of the Aramaic Flame-Alphabet,
so also one might in like manner attribute new symbols of a similar sort to the letters of the English alphabet as per AL II:55.

Ereshkigal

[the name Ereshkigal is reconstructed by Babylonian theologians, and not originally Sumerian]

Ereshkigal is the Mesopotamian inflexible Goddess of the Dead and Queen of the Underworld Land of the Dead which is the Land_of_No_Return, and of post-mortem Justice, and of Ancestral Memory.

Ereshkigal is the older and darker sister, shadow-self, and nemesis, of
Inanna.

before Inanna can find her lover Tammuz / Dumuzi in the Underworld, and then truly return and take control of not only her kingdom, but her whole being, she must, and does, first descend into the Underworld, do the Dance of the Seven Veils, and, completely naked, face her older and darker sister, shadow-self, and nemesis, Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld, and her consort Nergal, King of the Underworld; for without the darkness, one cannot distinguish the light; and without knowing both, one cannot know the point of balance which sits between them.

Ereshkigal's security-system requires that her visitors lose clothing and power at each of seven gates, so that when they arrive at her throne-room they are completely naked. For the account of what happens when her sister Inanna, seeking her lover, passes the seventh gate and arrives naked before Ereshkigal, read the account of the myth, and visit "Who Will Plow My Vulva?" at http://www.thewica.co.uk/whowp.htm.

  3. Where to evoke; for instance,
    to evoke an Elemental, the apex of the Triangle of Evocation should point to the Quarter where that Elemental resides;

regarding fate, Arthur Young, orally in the 1980s, says the following:
Events are reversible;
changes of state are ordered in time, and are irreversible.
Almost every important change of state is already written in the scenario (that is, it is pre-ordained).
The cycle of fate is longer than that of daily action.
Fate does not limit us; rather, it opens doors for us, and presents us with new options.
Fate is transpersonal.
in Arthur Young's dreams of trains: Chicago, being the hub of the railroad network, symbolizes the place where we choose our fate.
Fate prods us to do more than we would if left to our own initiative; it energizes us; it squeezes our tube.

Fear, fear; fearing || anger | hatred | kleshas | Poisons ||

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.
H P Lovecraft, Supernatural horror in Literature (1927)

fear arises from ignorance, illusion, and delusion;

fear of insufficiency, of lack, of penury, and of want, produces attachment, craving, grasping, and greed, which produces produces anger, which produces hatred.

fear is symbolized:
  • in the Occident by the Wolf;
  • in the Orient, by the pig.

in Gurdjieffian enneagrammatic psychology, ennea-type 7 is ruled or motivated by fear.

fear is wanting something to not end.

fear (dread) produces neurosis by attempting to separate the Solar world of conscious physical and intellectual reality from the Lunar world of subconscious metaphysical and psychic reality, by creating defensive boundaries between them and thus isolating them in solitary cells, and attempting to maintain the separation of the Solar from the Lunar world by creating conflict between them, which is neurosis; the Pontifex builds a Bridge between the Solar and Lunar worlds.

the Sphere of Fear, which is ruled by the King of Fear, is the red Sephira 5, which is the Sephira Pachad [Hebrew, 'Fear'], which is usually called Geburh [Hebrew, 'Severity'].

“putting the Fear into them”: when such as they of the Process Church of the Final Judgement, inter alia, "put the Fear into them", they introduce "them" to the King of Fear in the red Sephira 5, which is the Sephira Pachad.

fear of loss is a path to the Dark Side;
so give up your attachment to all that you fear to lose. Yoda, in a Star Wars movie

fear lowers the threshold of fatigue, so frightened folk tire much more easily than do the fearless, and are more vulnerable to malady.

fear can paralyze, can produce paralysis.

anger excludes fear.

There is nothing to fear except fear itself.”Franklin Delano Roosevelt? Winston Churchill?

"Fear is a lie." Quinn, May, p 15:m

fear is the opposite of Love.

"Love is letting go of fear." Marianne Williamson

when one has cast out fear, one is left with confidence.

Haushofer, Karl, 1869-194n

General Karl Haushofer is a university-professor, originator of geopolitical theory, and director of the Munich Institute of Geopolitics.

Haushofer is also inclined toward the esoteric.

While serving as military attach in Japan, he studies Zen, and learns the teachings of the Japanese Society of the Green Dragon.

He is initiated by Tibetan Lamas.

He is a student of "Gregor Ivanovich Gurdyev" (Georges Ivanvitch Gurdjeff).

Both Gurdjeff and Haushofer maintain that they have contacts with secret Tibetan lodges that possess the secret of the "Superman".

In Berlin, Karl Haushofer founds the Luminous Lodge or Vril Society, whose objective is to explore the origins of the Aryan race and to perform exercises in concentration to awaken the forces of Vril.

Karl Haushofer becomes Hitler's second "esoteric mentor", replacing Dietrich Eckart, and introduces Hitler to the "secret" psychological techniques of the esoteric lodges, including the Zen teachings of the Japanese Society of the Green Dragon, and the Sufi and Tibetan techniques of Gurdjeff; and Hitler's use of these techniques is the source of his unusual power of suggestion.

at the Equinox of the Gods, Ahriman attempts to seize the gates of Heaven by storm;

the word "heavenly" is from Anglo-Saxon, which is what real folks who are down-to-earth use; but if you want to fart higher than your arse, then you should say "celestial", since the Norman Conquest of England by William the Bastard, who then came to be called William the Conqueror, made the use of Anglo-Saxon infra dig among the aristocracy which was now Norman; but remember the bastardy of William the Bastard.

hermeneutic; hermeneutics

hermeneutic, hermeneutical: 'interpretive' [< Greek hermeneia 'interpretation'];

hermeneutics: the science of interpretation, especially of sacred Scripture;

in Christianity, the hermeneutical question is the search for a methodology for locating the central message of Christianity.

The hermeneutic ('interpretive') traditions of all of the major Occidental religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam)
have attained to a degree of complexity that is veritably Byzantine.

The priest of the princes, Ankh-f-n-Khonsu, in his Comment which he has appended as a post-scriptum to the Holy Scripture of the religion of Thelma, namely Liber AL vel Legis, expressly prohibits even the beginning of the development of a tradition of hermeneutics, and thus precludes the insanity that such complexity generates.

"The Hermit of Aesopus Island" mentioned by Scott Michaelsen in Portable Darkness p 51:n-11, is Aleister Crowley on Montauk Island.

Crowley, in his "New" comment on the Book of the Law, says, regarding AL I:40,
that the Hermit corresponds to the Mystic; and i've noticed that
both of these correspond to what Gurdjeff calls the Yogi (and to the Supernal Triad of the qabbalistic Etz Chayym, and to Alchemical Mercury); so ∴ therefore: all correspond to each other, and to the Supernal Triad on the Etz Chayym; and the one who is called by any of these names, works in what Gurdjeff calls the Third Way in which some have tried to accomplish the Magnum Opus or Great Work, namely the Way of the Yogi, who disciplines the mental body by raja-yoga and jñana-yoga, and thus develops control of the intellect ~Ouspensky, The Fourth Way, p. 97:b.

Houses

In Astrology:
the celestial Houses are also called the zodiacal Signs and are numbered sequentially, and correspond to the mundane Houses, which are also numbered sequentially, as follows:
  1. The First House rules the native's external personality, and is ruled by the Planet Mars.
  2. The Second House rules the native's finance, money, possessions, prosperity, riches, wealth, and is ruled by the Planet Venus.
  3. The Third House rules the native's excursions and unpublished communications, and is ruled by the Planet Mercury.
  4. The fourth House rules the native's the home, childhood, and old age, and is ruled by the Planet Lna, the Moon.
  5. The Fifth House rules the native's the native's love affairs, children, and pets, and is ruled by the Planet Sol, the Sun.
  6. The Sixth House rules the native's service, and is ruled by the Planet Mercury.
  7. The Seventh House rules the native's the native's partnerships, and is ruled by the Planet Venus.
  8. The Eighth House rules the native's magic, sex, death, and legacies, and is co-ruled by the Planets Mars and Pluto.
  9. The Ninth House rules the native's the higher mind and spirituality, and is ruled by the Planet Jupiter.
  10. The Tenth House rules the native's the native's reputation and honors, and is ruled by the Planet Saturn.
  11. The Eleventh House rules the native's friendships, and is co-ruled by the Planets Saturn and Uranus.
  12. The Twelfth House rules the native's confinement and psychism, and is co-ruled by the Planets Jupiter and Neptune.

 
House-systems, or systems of domification:

For thousands of years, the ancients, who are not stupid, use the equal house system, in which each House-cusp is a multiple of 30° from the Ascendant, which is calculated first.

This works reasonably well in Mesopotamia, whence astrology comes,
and also in the rest of the tropical and temperate zones;
it does not work in the polar regions (Arctic and Antarctic zones);
nor does it need to work there, since astrology is the product of literate urban astrologers;
and the Laplanders and Inuit have no cities, and are illiterate, so, rather than developing or using astrology, they use shamanistic divination, which works much better for their purposes.

Then, during the Renaissance, Italian mathematicians, such as Placidus, Campanus, and Regiomontanus, begin to experiment playfully with other House-systems to correct the distortion at the polar regions; but i've seen no evidence that their alternate House-systems are ever used seriously until, in about the year CE 1970, the number of young astrologers grows until the competition between them becomes so intense that they begin to look for any and every excuse to one-up each other, and so they begin to use the latest greatest hot new hip and cool thing, such as: interplanetary midpoints; dozens of Arabic parts; alternative House-systems, especially the Placidean; tiny outermost planets; and, most recently, computer-programs that calculate the position of every pebble in the asteroid belt.

However, in the early 1970s, i hear Dane Rudhyar advise a young astrologer to use only the concepts of classical astrology, since that gives us all the information that we need, without producing info-glut and input-overload; and i advise all and sundry to follow Rudhyar's advice; and to try the equal House system, and see how well it works for you.

Iehi Aour

in the GD, Iehi Aour is the magickal motto of Frater Iehi Aour, whose civil name is Allan Bennett, who uses it instead of the more familiar Latin Fiat Lux 'Let there be Light' because he supposes Iehi Aour to mean 'Let there be Light' in Hebrew; but Aour is a French spelling of Aur, which is a mis-spelling of the Hebrew Ôr 'Light' that results from mis-reading the initial glottal stop or occlusive as an aleph.

IHVH

[Hebrew Yd, Hh1, Vau/Vav, Hh2, today commonly pronounced Jehovh, or sometimes Yahweh]

IHVH is the Tetragrammaton,
which is the blasphemous and therefore obscene and secret quadriliteral ('four-lettered') word
which is the Name of God in Hebrew, for which Adonai ['Lord'] is usually substituted in the Bible;

but it may have originally been the Hebrew word for Being, meaning 'be/am, was, will be', namely Ehyh, as in eh-yh ashr eh-yh in Exodus 3:14-15 which has been translated as 'I am What I am', but probably means "I will be Whom I will be', dixit Dr Martin Schwartz.

Cf:
Cf: "I am in a secret fourfold word, the blasphemy against all gods of men."

Regarding illusion, cf. Maya.

Illusions include: past, future, and time:

The past is a dream, the future is a vision, and
both are mere illusions that exist in time which itself is an illusion also.

Only the present is real. The present moment is eternity, where one can experience nirvāṇa, and which is outside of, and perpendicular to, time, with which eternity intersects at right angles.

| Maya

Shirley MacLaine says that "life itself is an illusion or dream that deeply affects us because of its lessons... [Actors] in the movie business create illusions for other people to believe in as real, while [they] are doing the same thing with [themselves] in [their] own lives. In other words, we [are] each responsible for creating everything that happens to us. Therefore, we [are] empowered to uncreate as well, if we so desire." Shirley MacLaine, My lucky stars, p. 302:t

Inanna

Inanna is the Sumerian name, and
Ishtar is the Mesopotamian Semitic name,
of the Triple Goddess who is the Great MotherGoddess, Goddess of Love, and WhoreGoddess of Mesopotamia, who is the Great Whore of Babylon described in the Book of Revelation; her temples are whorehouses of sacred prostitution.

Inanna's older and darker sister, shadow-self, and nemesis, is Ereshkigal.

before Inanna can find her lover Tammuz / Dumuzi in the Underworld, and then truly return and take control of not only her kingdom, but her whole being, she must, and does, first descend into the Underworld, do the Dance of the Seven Veils, and, completely naked, face her older and darker sister, shadow-self, and nemesis, Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld, and her consort Nergal, King of the Underworld; for without the darkness, one cannot distinguish the light; and without knowing both, one cannot know the point of balance which sits between them.

Ereshkigal's security-system requires that her visitors lose clothing and power at each of seven gates, so that when they arrive at her throne-room they are completely naked. For the account of what happens when her sister Inanna, seeking her lover, passes the seventh gate and arrives naked before Ereshkigal, read the account of the myth, and visit "Who Will Plow My Vulva?" at http://www.thewica.co.uk/whowp.htm.

Labyrinth

in Greek myth, the Labyrinth of Crete is a magical Place which the inventor Ddalus builds for Minos beneath the city of Knossos in Crete to imprison the dread Minotaur. Theseus, carrying his sword and the ball of thread or yarn that Ariadne has given him, leads the annual blood-tribute of seven youths and seven maidens into the Labyrinth where they are to serve as food for the Minotaur in the central chamber; but there Theseus kills the Minotaur, then finds his way out again by following Ariadne's thread or yarn (the umbilical cord?).

the Labyrinth symbolizes the Sanctum, and has come to symbolize the unconscious also.

to symbolize the soul, the Orient draws a māṇdala; the Occident, a Labyrinth.

logic

logic is concerned with truth, not with facts ;
science is concerned with facts, not with truth ;
philosophy is concerned with both.

Aristotelian logic, which includes symbolic logic as a subset of itself, is non-contradictory; so it, and electronic computers which can do operations of symbolic logic, both choke on operations that involve propositions that posit the existence of self-containing sets, that is of sets that contain themselves, including the set of all sets, since it contains itself. So we prohibit such operations, and declare self-containing sets to be logically fallacious. A classic example of a logically fallacious self-containing set is that of the village barber who shaves every man of his village who does not shave himself; it turns out that this barber both does and does not shave himself, because if he does not shave himself, then he shaves himelf, and vice versa.

Aristotelian logic and symbolic logic differ essentially only in that, where classical Aristotelian logic uses words, symbolic logic uses algebraic formul or computer-code, and so resembles mathematics in both its superficial appearance and also the ease with which one can operate on extremely complex propositions, which makes symbolic logic extremely powerful;

electronic computers can handle operations of both classical verbal logic and symbolic logic, some of which latter operations computer programmers call Booleans, developed in the mid-1800s by the British-born Irish mathematician George Boole, though i suspect that it was really his lover and colleague Ada Lovelace who invented them.

Boolean logic consists of three logical operators, OR, AND, and NOT, each of which can be visually described by using Venn diagrams.

Aristotelian logic cannot tolerate paradox; but we humans can, therefore we are more than merely logical.

Aristotelian non-contradictory logic is not the only kind of logic. Qabbalistic logic, for example, is quite contradictory.

Love || Eros | Αγαπη (Agap) | agapetai | Angels | Being | love | love-cult | love-feast ||

Cf the Greek eros, philia, Agap (Αγαπη).

Regarding Love, Cf Divine Love.

Love is the will to accept discipline and the suffering that discipline entails.

English falling or being in love in the sexual sense (Greek eros), which is a temporary partial collapse of the boundaries of the ego that occurs as a component of genetically determined instinctual mating behavior, is not Love in this sense, because it entails no discipline; but it is, though temporary, very similar to the mystical Love of God, Whose nature is Love.

the opposite of love is said to be hatred;
and hatred arises from fear,
so the true opposite of love is fear.

Crowley, in his "New" comment on the Book of the Law, says, regarding AL I:40,

both of these correspond to what Gurdjeff calls the Monk, and to the Middle Triad of the qabbalistic Etz Chayym, and to Alchemical Sulphur; so therefore ∴ : all correspond to each other; and the one who is called by any of these names, works in what Gurdjeff calls the Second Way in which some have tried to accomplish the Magnum Opus or Great Work, namely the Way of the Monk, who disciplines the emotional body by what Hindus and Buddhists call bhakti-yoga, and Christians call devotion, and thus develops the heart.

a very ancient and possibly pre-Roman pastoral festival, observed on February 15 when, to avert evil spirits and purify the city, the Luperci, young men clad only in the skins of goats sacrificed on that day, ran around the Palatine hill from the Lupercal cave at its foot, and with strips of goat-hide struck women whom they encountered, to fertilize them.

Crowley, in his "New" comment on the Book of the Law, says, regarding AL I:40,
that the Lover corresponds to the Magician; and i've noticed that
both of these correspond to what Gurdjeff calls the Monk; so therefore ∴ : all correspond to each other; and the one who is called by any of these names, works in what Gurdjeff calls the Second Way in which some have tried to accomplish the Magnum Opus or Great Work, namely the Way of the Monk, who disciplines the emotional body by what Hindus and Buddhists call bhakti-yoga, and Christians call devotion, and thus develops the heart.

"Magic has the power to experience and fathom things which are inaccessible to human reason. For Magic is a great secret wisdom, just as reason is a great public folly." Paracelsus

science analyzes; the arts, including magick, synthesize.

Magick is one of the weapons of the surrealists in their war against somnambulism.

Magick works outward; mysticism works inward.

Crowley says that "Magick is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will."

Life is a series of difficult problems, which is why we enjoy it; if life were easy, then it would bore us, just as the game of tic-tac-toe bores us once we've mastered it, and understand how never to lose at it. So we can choose to moan about our problems and not solve them, or to solve them and not get to moan about them. To solve all of life's problems requires total discipline; see The Master Game, by DeRopp, Robert S.?

meditation || concentration | dhyna | samādhi | meditator | introspection | omphaloskepsis ||

The word "meditation", which comes from Latin, means "sitting and doing nothing";
and that's exactly what the Chinese call it, since they have no word that corresponds to the Latin word "meditation".

The practice of meditation is of hoary antiquity; and it is strongly recommended that you do it;

but, if you do it, don't call it "sitting and doing nothing", lest Occidental folks say to you:
"You lazy bum, aren't you ashamed to be such a lazy good-for-nothing bum?
Stop sitting on your lazy bum and doing nothing;
get up off your lazy bum and go to work.";
instead, say that you're meditating;
then people will treat you with proper respect.

Most Occidentals don's meditate enough; however, it has been said that too much meditation can make people unable to think for themselves; so here, as elsewhere, one must follow the Middle Path and find the point of balance.

meditation comprises Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration, according to the Ashtadika Marga.

Monophysite, Monophysitism, Monophysites

[< Greek monophysis 'single-nature' < mono 'one, alone, sole, single' + φυσις physis 'nature']

Monophysitism, espoused by Abyssinia, by the Christian empire of Byzantium, and by the Arab tribe of Ghassan, is the belief that Jesus has but a single nature, which is divine, and may be also human but not separately.

in CE 451, Byzantine emperor Marcian convokes the Council of Chalcedon, which decrees the dual nature of Christ; the Patriarchs of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem, and many others, refuse to accept this, and schismate, and become the Oriental Orthodox churches, which are miaphysite ; see the Catholic_Encyclopedia.

Monophysitism includes Eutychianism, the radical Monophysitism of Eutyches, a presbyter and archimandrite at Constantinople, who, in response to Nestorianism, says that the Divine completely obliterates the human nature of Christ ; and Apollinarianism, which holds that Christ has a human body and human "living principle" but that the Divine Logos has replaced the nous.

Little children have asked many of the next most important questions, some of which follow:
  • If the cosmos began in chaos, then why is there order now?
  • Why is there a cosmos?
  • Was the cosmos always here?
    if not, then how and why did the cosmos begin, and where did it come from?
  • Will the cosmos end?and if so, then how?
  • Where is the edge of the universe, and what's on the other side?
  • What do black holes look like? (A child asked this of Carl Sagan.)
  • Will time ever flow backward, and effects precede causes?
  • What is time?
  • Why do we remember the past and not the future?
  • Are there ultimate limits to what humans can ever know?
  • What's the smallest piece of matter?

nakedness is an absence of the trappings of prestige, power, rank, and social status that pertain to the external world.

Ereshkigal's security-system requires that her visitors lose clothing and power at each of seven gates, so that when they arrive at her throne-room they are completely naked. For the account of what happens when her sister Inanna, seeking her lover, passes the seventh gate and arrives naked before Ereshkigal, read the account of the myth, and visit "Who Will Plow My Vulva?" at http://www.thewica.co.uk/whowp.htm.

before Inanna can find her lover Tammuz / Dumuzi in the Underworld, and then truly return and take control of not only her kingdom, but her whole being, she must, and does, first descend into the Underworld, do the Dance of the Seven Veils, and, completely naked, face her older and darker sister, shadow-self, and nemesis, Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld, and her consort Nergal, King of the Underworld; for without the darkness, one cannot distinguish the light; and without knowing both, one cannot know the point of balance which sits between them.

in the Bible, nakedness sometimes, as in the Book of Genesis, but not always, symbolizes the exposure of sin.

After two teams of his messengers have had the divine spirit upon them and have prophesied, Saul "stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night." I Samuel 19-24

King David went into the Temple and danced naked before the Lord. Old_Testament_Reference

in the New Testament of the Bible, nakedness symbolizes the exposure of sin.

"Even St Francis, that splendidly undevious saint, preached one of his first radical sermons stark naked in the cathedral of San Ruffino in Assisi, to a large congregation of men and women." Janet and Stewart Farrar, A witches' Bible, Section "Leaves from the Book of Shadows", Chapter "Naked in your Rites", p. 194:b & see the entirety of that chapter.

"ye shall be naked in your rites." so says the Charge of the Goddess; see witches, and rites of Wicca;

one can most easily read the aura of one who is naked; read the book The human aura, by Kilner, London, Kegan Paul, 1920

Cf: AL I:62, 64.

strippers who work stark naked say that they work strong, which is the meaning of the word stark;

Jamie Miller (a.k.a. Sabah), who dances naked, says that "we all want to see each other's nakedness".

nirvāṇa || Axis Mundi | Awakening | the conjunction oppositorum | Enlightenment | Illumination | God | Buddhism | saṃsara | Path | Yoga ||

[Sanskrit Nirvāṇa (Pāli, Nibbna; Chinese Pinyin ni pán):
literal 'blowing out', 'extinguishing', or 'extinction' (of the wildfires of passions)].

The term nirvāṇa denotes a state of great inner peace and contentment where one is free from the wildfires of passions such anger, attraction, aversion, craving, hate, lust, etc.; and is thus liberated and released from Dukkha or sorrow, from saṃsara, etc.

The Buddha Gautama describes remaining or abiding in nirvāṇa as the 'unconditioned' state of 'deathlessness' (Pāli amata or amaravati) which results from Awakening, known in Buddhism as Bodhi, or Enlightenment, and is the highest spiritual attainment, which accrues to one as a natural result of living a life of virtuous conduct in accordance with the Dharma.

Awakening, known in Buddhism as Bodhi, or Enlightenment, causes the 'unbinding' of the mind from the illusion or delusion of self, which in turn causes the literal 'extinction' or 'extinguishing' and 'blowing out', of the wildfires of passions such anger, attraction, aversion, craving, hate, lust, etc., which in turn causes liberation and release from Dukkha or sorrow, from saṃsara, etc.

nirvāṇa, which is perfect Gnosis, and which results from Awakening, known in Buddhism as Bodhi, or Enlightenment or Illumination, is a state of spiritual Knowledge which is the abiding of an Arhat or Buddha, that is, a fully enlightened being, in pure unobstructed awareness of reality-as-it-is.

One experiences nirvāṇa at the Axis Mundi, which is situated in eternity, which is the present moment; and not in time, which is outside of, and perpendicular to, eternity, which intersects with time at right angles.

occult: [Latin, occult-, 'hidden'; occultation, 'hiding'].

spies, whose profession is to investigate secrets, are naturally drawn to the occult; cf Aleister Crowley and George Gurdjieff.

omen(s)

|| accident | concidence | omen | synchronicity ||

There are no accidents,
nor are there any mere concidences;
therefore, every event that occurs is an omen.

However, to treat every event as an omen,
would require that we spend more time evaluating the significance of those omens,
than the time that it takes for them to occur;
so we'd fall permanently behind in our evaluations,
and we'd have no time left over in which to do anything else.

Therefore, occultists have a proverb that says that:
if an event occurs only once, then we treat it as a mere accident;
and if it occurs only twice, then we treat it as a mere concidence;
but if it occurs thrice, then it's synchronous;
and its synchronicity indicates that it's an omen,
and the occurrence of an omen indicates that
Someone is trying to tell us Something.
So says Hymenus Alpha 777.

omphalos, Omphalos || navel | omphaloskepsis ||

[Greek, 'navel']

the Omphalos or umbilicus or navel symbolizes the :
|| omphalos | Omphalos ||
 
omphaloskepsis, omphaloskeptic || meditation | introspection | belly-button-gazing | navel-gazing | sesshin ||

omphaloskepsis is the Greek word for the introspective practice of belly-button-gazing, navel-gazing, or contemplatine one's navel,
which practice is of hoary antiquity, and is prqctised in India and in the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church; and it is recommended that you practise it;

omphaloskeptic is the Greek word for an introspective belly-button-gazer.

S. I. Hayakawa would say:
i'm an omphaloskeptic; i practise omphaloskepsis;
you're introspective; you engage in introspection;
he's a belly-button-gazer who spends his time belly-button-gazing.
Cf the omphaloskeptic Greek monk Gregory Palamas, whose statement that he saw God during omphaloskepsis almost caused a schism in the Greek Orthodox Church: no one doubted that he had had a vision during omphaloskepsis, but many doubted that his vision was of God.

The practice of omphaloskepsis, or navel-gazing, or belly-button-gazing, is of hoary antiquity, and it is recommended that you practise it;

but, if you do so, don't call it belly-button-gazing, lest Occidental folks say to you:
"You lazy bum, aren't you ashamed to be such a lazy good-for-nothing belly-button-gazing bum?
Stop sitting on your lazy arse and gazing at your belly-button and doing nothing;
get up off your lazy arse and go to work.";
instead, say that you're engaging in omphaloskepsis; then people will treat you with proper respect.

The film "Mondo Cane" shows opposite-sex pairs of members of an omphaloskeptic society in Paris gazing at each other's navel.

cf: crystalloscopy or crystal-gazing; kteiskepsis; om-phalloskepsis.

Osiris

[Greek barbarization of the Egyptian Asar | Asar | Auser]

His Tibetan name is Shinjed.

The hieroglyph for Osiris is a throne and an eye.

The ancient Egyptians considered Sirius to be the most important star in the heavens, and sometimes identified Sirius with their chief goddess Isis, who, as Sirius, they customarily portrayed in paintings as travelling in the same celestial boat with two companions, of whom one was the chief Egyptian god, Osiris, whose hieroglyph is a throne and an eye. Since Osiris is represented by an eye and is sometimes considered the companion of Sirius, and since the Bozo tribe of Mali in central Africa call Sirius B "the eye star", one can infer that Osiris is Sirius B.

The Lgos Aions is the Word of the on.
The Lgos of the on of Osiris is Agap (Αγαπη).

At Tara in this fateful hour
I place all Heaven with its power,
And the sun with its brightness,
And the snow with its whiteness,
And the fire with all the strength it hath,
And the winds with their swiftness along their path,
And the sea with its deepness,
And the rocks with their steepness,
And the earth with its starkness,
All these I place
By God's almighty help and grace
Between myself and the powers of darkness.

Pattern

Each time that an Age returns, its pattern differs slightly from its previous patterns, and is subject to greater change, but the Age is nevertheless the same Age. For the Pattern of an Age, good and ill are the warp and the woof. A pattern that is all one color is no pattern. The Wheel of Time weaves all lives and all actions into the Pattern of the Ages. No one knows how the thread of their own life will be woven into the Pattern, nor how the thread of a people will be woven, nor the Pattern of an Age, much less the Great Pattern. We can only watch, and study, and hope.

Pentagram: a certain five-pointed geometric figure drawn with a single criss-crossing line;
unlike a pentagon, whose contour doesn't cross itself.

Every eight years, the planet Venus, the Evening Star, traces a perfect pentagram in the sky across the ecliptic; therefore, the pentagram symbolizes the planet and goddess Venus (to the ancients, the goddess and her planet were the same);

the Pentagram also symbolizes Nuit;

the point is upward for white magick, downward for subterranean chthonic magick.

Poison(s) || klesha(s) | Animals ||

[in Pli, kilesa; in Sanskrit, kle/klesha 'poison']

the three kleshas ['Poisons'] are anger, attachment, and ignorance, or anger, hatred, and delusion; and are symbolized by the Three Animals that are depicted at the hub of the Wheel of Saṃsara.

hatred originates from anger, which originates from fear, which originates from grasping or clinging, which originates from attachment, which originates from craving and greed, which originates from ignorance;

the elimination of ignorance will eliminate both craving and greed and attachment and grasping and clinging and fear and anger and hatred.

pride is the greatest obstacle of all, since it disregards truth, and thus impedes Enlightenment.

The past is a dream, the future is a vision, and
both are mere illusions that exist in time which itself is an illusion also.

Only the present is real. The present moment is eternity, where one can experience nirvāṇa, and which is outside of, and perpendicular to, time, with which eternity intersects at right angles. The present is eternal, and eternity is present here now in reality, outside the illusory field of time.

Memory looks toward the past, which is merely a dream that no longer exists; and hope looks toward the future, which is merely a vision that does not yet exist; and to dwell on one's memories or on one's hopes drains one's energy; so disregard both memory and hope; seize the passing moment, knowing that this present moment is the only one that exists. see Lusseyran, And there was Light, p 290:t-m

Procol Harum

English band of psychedelic rock musicians of the 1960s,
best known for their 1967 hit single "A Whiter Shade of Pale";
visit their Web-site at http://www.procolharum.com/

etymology:
  • the name is supposedly [erroneous] Latin, 'far away from these things':
    procul 'outside, beyond, at a distance from, far away from'
    which always precedes the ablative, in this case 'his';
    plus harum 'of these things' -- but "harum" is a feminine genitive plural;
    visit www.procolharum.com/doglatin.htm
  • or it may be from Procul Harum > Procul Harun,
    the name of lyricist Keith Reid's cat,
    which he thought to be Arabic for 'beyond that which is';
  • or it may be the result of an attempt to translate "far out" into Latin;
  • but see http://www.procolharum.com/young_cat3.htm

|| Procol Harum | procul ||
 
Procul, O Procul este, profani.

[Latin, 'Go far away, O far away from here, you who are profane' -- pro 'outside in front of' + fanum '(the) temple']

the 257th line of Book VI of The nead, the great Latin epic poem by Publius Vergilius Maro, commonly called Virgil in English, who puts these words into the mouth of the Sybil of Cumae who is about to prophesy.

Prospero

Some say that Prospero, the master magician in the play The Tempest, embodies Shakespeare’s own philosophy, representing both the power of knowledge and the mysteries of the human condition. See The Tempest.

Prospero, the master magician whose brother banished him over a decade ago, lives on a magical island with his daughter, Miranda, and a host of spirits and sprites, and has now used his magic to cause the ship on which his brother and King Alonso and his entourage were sailing to come under his influence, so that they are shipwrecked on Prospero’s island, and a series of magical events occurs. Prospero has consented to the marriage of his daughter and Ferdinand. When Miranda and Ferdinand are about to marry, Prospero speaks the famous line which celebrates that uniquely human blend of mind and matter.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great glove itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made of; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
Shakespeare’s The Tempest Act 4, Scene 1, 148-158

[in Gnostic Christian Latin: Cbbala, Cbala [> cabal];

[< Hebrew proper noun QBL 'receive, accept ; tradition' ; the adjective is qabbalistic]

the ancient Greeks, in remote antiquity, originated alphabetic numeration;
in the Middle Ages, the medival Jews re-introduced Greek alphabetic numeration to Europe under the Hebrew name Qbbalah, which in Latin is Cbbala or Cbala;
Jews spell the word Kabbalah when writing in English;
i would expect Greeks also to spell the word Kbbalah when writing in English;
other Gentiles, especially those who are familiar with the qabbalistic tradition of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (GD), and of the Ordo Templi Orientis, spell it Qbbalah when writing in English.

the central glyph of the Qbbalah is the Etz Chayym with its eleven Sephirth and its twenty-two Nativth.

Jews of the laity believe that the study of the Qbbalah will drive one crazy;
i began to study the Qbbalah when i was already crazy, and that study made me sane, but not normal
thank God! since, in this insane society, normality is a fate worse than death;
the Rabbis forbid those under age 40 or 50 to study the Qbbalah, because when Rabbi Akiva and the three other rabbis arrived at the Throne of God,
  • Rabbi Zoma went mad,
  • Rabbi Azzai dropped dead,
  • Rabbi Abua became an heretic and a murderer,
  • Rabbi Akiva alone remained alive and sane.

the Qbbalah describes :
  • the nature of God
  • the birth of the soul
  • the process of creation of the universe
  • teleology
  • techniques for spiritual Ascension

contributors to the Qbbalah, who influenced its development, include :

religion(s) || sect(s) | cult(s) ||

the gods of the Old Religion become the devils of the new religion; cf how Zarathustra diabolizes the Devas, and how the Christians diabolize the ancient Pagan deities of the Mediterranean.

the Abrahamic religions are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

The difference between a Jew, a Pagan, and a Christian, is that:
  • a Jew washes his hands after he has sex;
  • a Pagan washes his before;
  • when a Christian thinks of having sex, he goes and washes his hands instead.

organized religion is not as old as agriculture.

religion can induce passivity, as in India

religions give folks an excuse to stop thinking; Lein, Hitler, Mussolini, et alii say: "Stop thinking. Follow me; and together we will rule the world."

toxic religions, such as Nazism, survive by preventing their young from learning about other religions.

rigpa is the essential and innermost nature of mind, which is infinite and celestial, boundless and sky-like.

enlightened masters have experienced and explored rigpa, and have very carefully and meticulously formulated and recorded and transmitted an account of their experience of rigpa.

rigpa "is naked, immaculate, not made of anything, being of the Voidness, clear, vacuous, without duality, transparent, timeless, eternal, umcompounded, unimpeded, colorless" Padmasambhava

rite(s); ritual

the word "ritual" is the adjective that means 'pertaining to rites, or to a rite",
and can be used as a nominal contraction of "ritual text" which is the text for a rite;
but most North American native speakers of English say "ritual" when they mean "rite";
whether because the words "rite" and "right" are homonymous, or because (click here).

the rites of Wicca celebrate the seasons


the numeric and geometric structure of the rites of Wicca:
  1. zero symbolizes the Circle, and absence:
    • the Circlewhere the Occident draws a labyrinth, the Orient draws a māṇdala [< Sanskrit, 'Circle']; and, when all celebrants have gathered, a Wiccan rite begins with the drawing of the Circle.
    • what is absent, includes:
      • haste: the prelude and the rites are unhurried, and with no clocks present except during a rite of Saturn who is Lord of Time.
      • clothing: the celebrants enter the Circle skycladthat is, naked
        "ye shall be naked in your rites" says the Charge of the Goddess;
        and one can most easily read the aura of one who is naked;
        read the book The human aura, by Kilner, London, Kegan Paul, 1920
  2. the one and only single sole Center is the karcist at the High altar.
  3. the twin deities, namely the Lady and the Lord; the lore and teaching of Wicca passes from female to male to female to ...
  4. the three candles on the High Altar symbolize the three ages of the Goddess, and the three Paths

  5. the four Quarters, corresponding to the four cardinal Points of the compass, and to the four Implements or Tools or Weapons of Magick

King Salomon, or Solomon, being the Ring-Bearer, is the Lord of the Ring.

Archangel Michael gives to King Solomon a Ring bearing the Seal of God, which may be what today is called the Seal of Solomon or Star of David, namely the hexagram �.

to wear a Ring of Power, even though it be a Ring of Divine Power, will corrupt the Ring-Bearer, unless the Ring-Bearer has the aid of an Archangel.

when the demon Ornias, whose Sign is Aquarius, assails King Solomon, the Archangel Oriel, who has withstood Ornias, comes to aid Solomon the Ring-Bearer, who then overcomes the following demons, inter alia:
  • Asmodeus;
  • Lixtetrax;
  • Onoskelis, who is a beautiful mule-footed troglodyte demoness;
  • many others, including seven spirits of wickedness, who are
    heavenly bodies and Lords of the Realm of Darkness:

[Sanskrit]

saṃsara is our genetic memory of our soul's experience, and is the realm of change in the field of space-time, and is also the swamp-realm of illusion which the swastika symbolizes, and which produces a vast ocean of suffering and torment, whose inhabitants are symbolized by the Three Animals that are depicted at the hub of the kalachakra, and a uncontrolled vicious cycle of death-and-rebirth, within which the six delusions create the six negative emotions which create the six sub-realms of illusion in saṃsara:
  1. anger and hatred create the scorching-hot and icy-cold hell-worlds;
  2. greed creates the preta-loka, the realm of the hungery ghosts;
  3. ignorance creates the realm of the animals;
  4. craving, grasping, clinging, and attachment create the realm of humans;
  5. envy and jealousy create the asura-loka, the realm of the titans and demi-gods;
  6. pride creates the deva-loka, the realm of the gods.
