  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.

  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.

but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.
Therefore, nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.

he is an indifferent Muslim, and worships Yog-Sothoth and Cthulhu;

in 738, in broad daylight and in front of a crowd of witnesses in Damascus, he is seized by an invisible, monstrous, and demonic entity, and horribly devoured, according to 12-century biographer Ebn Khallikan.

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.

Age(s)

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.

The numeration of "Αιϝαςς (Aiwass) Aivas = 78", according to Frater Perdurabo, in
"A few indications for the Student of the Line to be Adopted in his Elucidation of Liber · AL"

Frater Lux Veritatis says that, since w and v are equivalent in Hebrew,
Frater Perdurabo 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.

"Alastor, the Wanderer of the Waste" is one of Aleister Crowley's many appellations. See: | Waste | Wasteland | Rotten Place ||

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

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.

"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."

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.

anguish, dissatisfaction, dolor [Latin, 'pain'] , dukka [Pli, 'pain'] , dukkha [Sanskrit, 'pain'], pain, sorrow, suffering || Four (Noble) Truths | 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.

Aramaic ['pertaining to Aram' (the fifth son of Shem, eldest son of Noah)]

Aramaic (related how to Assyrian?) is a North-Western Semitic language which the Assyrian empire used as a interlanguage, and was for centuries the dominant language of Jewish worship, scholarship, and daily life, and is believed to be the language spoken by Jesus of Nazareth.

After the Arab conquests in the 7th century CE, Arabic gradually replaced Aramaic; but to this day, the Jews write in Hebrew using the Aramaic Flame-Alphabet, rather than the ancient Hebrew alphabet which is no longer used at all.

The alphabet that is usually and mistakenly called Hebrew, is in fact the Aramaic Flame alphabet.

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.

belief

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.

It's best to not believe anything that has been announced officially, or has not been officially denied.

Bierce, Ambrose, 1842-1914?

Ambrose_Bierce is the North American author of many works, including The Devil's dictionary, to whom H P Lovecraft paid the compliment of borrowing some of his names:
 
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.

Black Sun

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.
