i also learned his extravagant experiments, and for ten years did i remain buried in so great an error, until that after the ten years i arrived in egypt at the house of an ancient sage who was called abramelim, who put me into the true path as i will declare it unto thee hereafter, and be gave me better instruction and doctrine than all the others; but this particular grace was granted me by the almighty father of all mercy, that is to say, almighty god, who little by little 7 the sacred magic 4 illuminated mine understanding and opened mine eyes to see and admire, to contemplate, and search out his divine wisdom, in such a manner that it became possible unto me to further and further understand and comprehend the sacred mystery by which i entered into the knowledge of the holy angels, en

s embodied in ancient names, vol. i, p. 237. inman relates that once when a friend of his was conversing with a very high-caste hindoo he casually uttered this word amm or om, whereupon the man was so awe struck that he could scarcely speak, and, in a voice almost of terror, asked where his friend had learned the word. of this word inman says "to the hindoos it was that incommunicable name of the almighty, which no one ventured to pronounce except under the most religious solemnity. and here let me pause to remark that the jews were equally reverent with the name belonging to the most high; and that the third commandment was very literal in its signification" the same writer remarks that in thibet, too, where a worship very nearly identical in ceremony and doctrine with that of the roman p

of laws and historical events that describe the behavior of human beings in this world. however, those who are more advanced along their spiritual path begin to perceive the spiritual actions of the creator behind the names of objects and actions of our world. from all the above, it becomes clear that in creation there are two participants: the creator and the human being, who was created by the almighty. all the other visions that arise before us, whether our perception of our world or even our perception of higher worlds, are only the different phases of revelation and disclosure of the creator on his way to coming closer to us- 226- attaining the worlds beyond 19 spiritual levels the entire creation can be described as a function of four parameters: time, soul, world, and source of exi

lf in redirecting one s desires is considered to be the work of the heart. the work of the mind is of a completely different nature, because we cannot rely on our own minds and logic to analyze the surrounding events. in such a case, we are forced, in spite of ourselves, to rely on the egoistic, natural mind. we are unable to break away from it because each of us was created in this manner by the almighty. that is why there is only one path: to completely turn away from the typical inclination to analyze one s surroundings and instead to accept the advice of the sages, expounded in the books of- 254- attaining the worlds beyond kabbalah and explained by teachers who have reached the spiritual level of awareness. if we are capable, with the creator s help, of making even the slightest attem

pose of creation is working on ourselves for personal gain("not for his name) since there are many ways to feel pleasure eating, playing games, receiving honors and glory, etc. these methods, however, allow us to feel only small and fleeting pleasures. the motivations behind such actions are "for the self" we can attain much greater pleasures by having faith in the creator; in the fact that he is almighty; in his oneness with respect to ruling over the entire world, including everything that happens to each of us, in his dominion over everything that concerns each of us, in his willingness to help, when hearing our prayers and in having faith in all of the above. only after we have accomplished the first stage of this work will we receive very different, special sensations of a higher spir

LAITMAN M THE KABBALAH EXPERIENCE

e v e l at i o n q: rav ashlag speaks in his articles about the importance of the feeling of the greatness of the creator. we have a natural inclination to want to serve a greater person than ourselves, so it is obvious that the body will surrender to that demand. but greatness is where there is kindness, whereas the kindness of the creator is concealed from us. let us assume that the creator is almighty and guides everything. but if the world is full of pain, how can we see his greatness? the king is great because of his graceful acts toward his subjects, not because he is in power. how then can we see the greatness of the creator? a: you re right when you say that if the creator would reveal himself to us, we would surrender, as it happens in our world. the only difference is in our goa

desire. man simply cannot correct the intent from for me to for the creator by himself. only when we understand our inability to correct our aim by ourselves and badly want to correct ourselves can we begin to ask the creator for that miracle. when he sees that our only desire is to rid ourselves of the intent for myself, he reveals himself to us. when we see the eternal power of the supreme and almighty creator, we become permeated with the desire and the strength to change our intent from for me to for the creator. this operation is called the light in it (the kabbalah) reforms. the light is the force of correction, which comes down to man from the creator. the desire to correct your own nature, to know yourself and understand your i, can only be satisfied through kabbalah. with any oth

MEANING OF MASONRY

en world. the perfect cube must pass through the metamorphosis of the cross. the soul must voluntarily and consciously pass through a state of utter helplessness from which no earthly hand can rescue it, and in trying to raise him from which the grip of any succouring human hand will prove but a slip: until at length divine help itself descends from the throne above and, with the" lion's grip" of almighty power, raises the faithful and regenerated soul to union w ith itself in an embrace of reconciliation and at-one-ment. in all the schools of the mysteries, as well as in all the great religions of the world, the attainment of the spiritual goal just described is enacted or taught under the veil of a tragic episode analogous to that of our third degree; and in each there is a master whose

ed the heart of pharaoh; he repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto the people of nineveh; and he did it not, to the disgust and anger of jonah. such were the popular notions of the deity; and either the priests had none better, or took little trouble to correct these notions; or the popular intellect was not enough enlarged to enable them to entertain any higher conceptions of the almighty. but such were not the ideas of the intellectual and enlightened few among the hebrews, it is certain that _they_ possessed a knowledge of the true nature and attributes of god; as the same class of men did among the other nations--zoroaster, menu, confucius, socrates, and plato. but their doctrines on this subject were esoteric; they did not communicate them to the people at large, but o

y. step where we will, we tread upon wonders. the sea-sands, the clods of the field, the water-worn pebbles on the hills, the rude masses of rock, are traced over and over, in every direction, with a handwriting older and more significant and sublime than all the ancient ruins and all the overthrown and buried cities that past generations have left upon the earth; for it is the handwriting of the almighty. a mason's great business with life is to read the book of its teaching; to find that life is not the doing of drudgeries, but the hearing of oracles. the old mythology is but a leaf in that book; for it peopled the world with spiritual natures; and science, many-leaved, still spreads before us the same tale of wonder. we shall be just as happy hereafter, as we are pure and upright, and n

onders of the world; and winter, that gathers us around the evening hearth--all these, as they pass, touch by turns the springs of the spiritual life in us, and are conducting that life to good or evil. the idle watch-hand often points to something within us; and the shadow of the gnomon on the dial often falls upon the conscience. a life of labor is not a state of inferiority or degradation. the almighty has not cast man's lot beneath the quiet shades, and amid glad groves and lovely hills, with no task to perform; with nothing to do but to rise up and eat, and to lie down and rest. he has ordained that _work_ shall be done, in all the dwellings of life, in every productive field, in every busy city, and on every wave of every ocean. and this he has done, because it has pleased him to giv

labor, the whole soul of man is composed into a kind of real harmony, the moment he begins to work. doubt, desire, sorrow, remorse, indignation, and even despair shrink murmuring far off into their caves, whenever the man bends himself resolutely against his task. labor is life. from the inmost heart of the worker rises his god-given force, the sacred celestial life-essence, breathed into him by almighty god; and awakens him to all nobleness, as soon as work fitly begins. by it man learns patience, courage, perseverance, openness to light, readiness to own himself mistaken, resolution to do better and improve. only by labor will man continually learn the virtues. there is no religion in stagnation and inaction; but only in activity and exertion. there was the deepest truth in that saying

be animated intelligences, presiding over human weal and woe, are identified with the more distinctly impersonated messengers or angels, who execute the divine decrees, and whose predominance in heaven is in mysterious correspondence and relation with the powers and dominions of the earth. in job, the morning stars and the sons of god are identified; they join in the same chorus of praise to the almighty; they are both susceptible of joy; they walk in brightness, and are liable to impurity and imperfection in the sight of god. the elohim originally included not only foreign superstitious forms, but also all that host of heaven which was revealed in poetry to the shepherds of the desert, now as an encampment of warriors, now as careering in chariots of fire, and now as winged messengers, a

y were among those who stood nearest to the source of sacred tradition; and many passages in their old writings contain remarkable vestiges of eternal truth, and of the word of primitive revelation, the heritage of old thought, which attest to us their original eminence. but among the other early nations, a wild enthusiasm and a sensual idolatry of nature soon superseded the simple worship of the almighty god, and set aside or disfigured the pure belief in the eternal uncreated spirit. the great powers and elements of nature, and the vital principle of production and procreation through all generations; then the celestial spirits or heavenly host, the luminous armies of the stars, and the great sun, and mysterious, ever-changing moon (all of which the whole ancient world regarded not as me

dividual existences. creation is not considered as the instant production of things, but only as the manifestation of that which exists eternally in the one universal being. the nyaya philosophers believe that spirit and matter are eternal; but they do not suppose that the world in its present form has existed from eternity, but only the primary matter from which it sprang when operated on by the almighty word of god, the intelligent cause and supreme being, who produced the combinations or aggregations which compose the material universe. though they believe that soul is an emanation from the supreme being, they distinguish it from that being, in its individual existence. truth and intelligence are the eternal attributes of god, not, they say, of the individual soul, which is susceptible

he name ekyeh is associated with ima. thus, moses is the sum of the back of abba as present in ima. all of this applies during the weekdays, but on the sabbath [moses] reaches [the consciousness of] the shining of the face [of the partzufim. this is the significance of the numerical value of the name mosheh. for all that the forefathers reached was [the consciousness of] the name kel shakai[ gg-d almighty h, referring to the yesod of abba or ima, but gmy name [havayah] h.as it was revealed to moses. gi did not make known to them. h the name havayah is g-d fs gproper h name, or as it is called further on, his gexplicit h name. it thus indicates his real presence, his interest, focus, and purpose in creating the world, his ginner h desire. in contrast, the name kel shakai( gg-d almighty h) r

at can destroy the gods. the dwarf mime tries uselessly to mend it. when siegfried comes he makes no such error. he melts its fragments and forges a new sword. in spite of the intense labour which this costs, it is the best plan to adopt. levi completely failed to capture catholicism; and his hope of using imperialism, his endeavour to persuade the emperor that he was the chosen instrument of the almighty, a belief which would have enabled him to play maximus to little napoleon's julian, was shattered once for all at sedan. it is necessary for the reader to gain this clear conception of levi's inmost mind, if he is to reconcile the "contradictions" which leave waite petulant and bewildered. it is the sad privilege of the higher order of mind to be able to see both sides of every question

THE STAR IN THE WEST BY CAPTAIN FULLER A CRITICAL ESSAY ON THE WORKS OF ALEISTER CROWLEY

aded images which soon eclipsed man fs reason, monopolizing worship and exacting prayer: what folly can compare with such stupidity, as prayer *the sword of song, pentecost, vol. ii, p. 178. crowley very truly remarks in that battering-ram of religious destruction, gpentecost h. a witty note is appended, quoted from the gsydney bulletin, h which suggested, that instead of perpetually worrying the almighty for rain, the people should pray once and for all for a high range of mountains in central australia, which would of course supply rain automatically*1. that man cannot elude fate by such a paltry dodge; for even the god of our imaginings is not quite such an ass as all that. the messenger in gjephthah h most sensibly remarked, when he rushed with the news of the enemy fs approach into th

lius italicus was similarly impregnated by a certain gas or spirit in the atmosphere. etc, etc, vide koran. but as regards that most irate and truculent old gentleman, j.h.v.h, he has a considerable amount to relate. how gall power can be all wickedness, h is a question that not only strikes crowley fs brain as exceptionally incongruous, but must so strike all who ever think at all. how god being almighty as well as beneficent can tolerate such a world of suffering as ours for one minute passes all understanding. the god idea in its infancy, as we have already seen, was the child of ignorance and revenge, and jahveh, in his turn, is but an emanation of this world idea, no better than the rest: baal and jehovah, ashtoreth and chemosh and these elohim, life fs panders in the brothel. death!

ke, these wise men, these latter-day philosophers, not finding eternal knowledge in the deific apple, ceased munching so wry a pippin, declaring the god of religion, the matter of science, unknowable, a thing in itself, like the jinnee in the vase, or dispersed throughout space as the jinnee when the vase was opened. or else again, like the present-day rationalists, they have once more coaxed the almighty back into his leaden casket, and heaved him out again into the black depths of that ocean of ignorance from which he had been drawn, a bottled gsuccedaneum. h thus berkeley, by postulating a god, himself showed that reason was wanting; so the scepticism of pyrrho was once again applied to the defective mental machinery, which burst like a faulty boiler on due pressure being brought to bea

itualism, bore the hybrid. christianity. as all religions have finally become subservient to an interested priesthood, so have all religions (however spiritual they may have been in their youth) been materialized and sacrificed on the altar of gain. to this rule christianity forms no exception; once crudely and sincerely spiritual, it has become deceitfully materialistic. god, who was formerly an almighty pleroma, is now but the moke which carries the priest fs eggs to market; and christ, the saviour and redeemer, the stick with which the wretched old jennet is beaten along. christianity is no longer what its name implies, the system of doctrines as taught by christ, but diametrically the reverse, the system of desires as wrought by man. it is no longer gsell all, h but gseize all h; or gg
