The Zelator, in this narrative, will encounter many signs that can help clarify his program, serving as both a source of motivation and a guiding beacon. A very important element is the indication of Dionysus’ dual birth—from his mother, as much as from Zeus.
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
For such a tendentious attempt to present our program, the implementation of spiritual endeavors into the daily life of the Aspirant, as well as the integration of these living pulsations of the sould into one grand whole of life, it is not of particular importance to mention. It is crucial.
For those interested, I've meticulously crafted tables from 777 along with all accompanying text in a completely revamped format. You can download the PDF entirely free of charge:
The Great White Brotherhood, when mentioned, evokes thoughts of a group of supernatural beings with extraordinary powers who exert influence over religions, spiritual organizations, and the very fabric of civilization.
The A∴A∴ is certainly not, neither will ever be a Thelemic order, but a pan-æonic, all-pervading, omnipresent. Like cosmic void, in which there is neither morning nor dusk, its spreading is not framed by the loom of time nor space. Moreover, its movement is always as its nature is everywhere. The Dawn of the New Æon will never experience its afternoon as long as we proclaim it as New.
At the stage metaphorically implied by this story, the Aspirant is the antagonist; he does not stand for the light or have a path to redemption. Yet, he still possesses the thread that Ariadne cunningly left to Theseus – a mechanism that helps to undo his knot.
Comments on LIBER LIBERI VEL LAPIDIS LAZULI
Every magical retreat is a true reflection of the Aspirant’s inventiveness and courage. Yet, it is not whether he will have the courage to implement it or not – it is something completely different, the courage to construct the whole work for himself.
The Angel is not in you, above you, or inside you. He is precisely in this transmission, in that state between, he arises a moment after the perception of each of these letters, coming out as formed and embodied knowledge.
Both shadow and fear in a lucid dream are always and only routes to the Angel who tells us where to go – if we dare and if we find courage and Will.
All secrets are just our inability to grasp the simplicity of our soul by Neurosis; the point of the ultimate experience is by no means in barbaric names, nor in the hours spent in Dharana.
We really have an objection; the Enochian realms are high for one simple reason, for we are utterly incapable of peering into our own depths.
The Neophyte is a newcomer, but not because he gets new experiences. Rather, it is because he gets right experiences.
The Neophyte must be a skeptic in his own faith, always thinking that ours is the method of science and the goal of religion.
The Aspirant should always continually think that every relationship is merely a pale imitation of the authentic Tantra, which is the unity with the Angel.
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.
Desire is the compensation of the Will, which is mantled in Binah and Malkuth in the same way. In fact, it is fair to say that the moment the Will blew by Binah, it was at the same “moment” that it was found in Malkuth.
A free man doesn't strive for what he already has, only the prisoner yearns for freedom.
Probationer is required to learn one chapter by heart, but there is something of at least the same importance.
IAO - is "ouch", cried by your Angel, as somehow he step on over some remarkable thorn on his path through the light, every time you act "out of him".
At the very beginning of Star Ruby; aspirant is dashing down the hand with a great sweep back and out, crying: "Apo Pantos Kakodaimonos!".
Masturbate, play not with your body but with you mind. Masturbate your mind, let the Universe arrouse you in his own way. You soul is the sexual object of the whole Universe, let the whole Universe arouse itself with your thinking about the same Universe. Your whole Ego is just an echo of the Universe's orgasm.
All past and future times, all of them are before his Pyramid, for only eternal now is left inside.
