The principles examined within the practice of Asana naturally extend to Pranayama as well. The fundamental objective is to foster complete awareness in every action, including those that originate from the unconscious mind.

Asana
The body itself is an essential instrument in the orchestration of Will. Is not the entire Universe the body of God, its limbs woven from constellations, its stars as radiant suns, its cells as molecules and consciousnesses, its vast voids—both known and unknown—moving together as one harmonious whole?
The Zelator’s Treatise on Sex Magick
In our program, the practice of sex magick occupies a distinct and significant role. This prominence arises not solely from its provocative title, but also, in large part, from the weight of personal projections and idealized notions we attach to both the concept and the act. The tantric act, the operation of sex magick, and … Continue reading The Zelator’s Treatise on Sex Magick
On the Body
There are many different clues to working with the body, and we are going to discuss some of the ideas that the Aspirant himself needs to develop and utilize in further work.

Trance is an outpost toward stars. An aspirant must understand its nature, which is about all, natural, and easy for every soul. There is no mysticism in this occurrence, just a divine combination of biological and natural processes of the brain. Using methods that requires hours or years just shows that we do not understand the very mechanism of trance, as well as the mechanism of our mind.

The Neophyte is indeed the vehicle of his star, as much as the body is the instrument of his Angel.
The appearance of a Shadow inside a Lucid dream

Charging the Sigil
The first thing to do with a sigil once it has been constructed is to do nothing. It is work exactly which causes the turbulence of our censor of reality and self-regulatory abolition of enthusiasm – neurosis.
Divine embodyness
The body itself is an orgasm of the Sphinx, every sensation hides the phenomenon which the entire cosmos originated from, each and every moment we receive the same information about the Knowledge and Conversation, but our perception refuses to process that information.
