i have been able to test the drug have in large measure confirmed, and in no way contradicted, my results. in the first place, i make an absolute distinction between three effects of hashish, which may be, and i think probably are- so distinct they appear- due to three separate substances. possibly a simple stimulus-curve may account for it, but i do not think so. 1 "the volatile aromatic effect (alpha. this, the first evanescent symptom, gives the "thrill" described by ludlow, as of a new pulse of power pervading 40 one. psychologically, the result is that one is thrown into an absolutely perfect state of introspection. one perceives one's thoughts and nothing but one's thoughts, and it is as thoughts that one perceives them. material objects are only perceived as thoughts; in other words

es the direct consciousness of berkeleyan idealism. the ego and the will are not involved; there is introspection of an almost if not quite purely impersonal type; that, and nothing more. i am not to be understood as asserting that the results of this introspection are psychologically valid. 2 "the toxic hallucinative effect (beta. with a sufficiently large dose- for it is possible to get effect (alpha) only as a transient phenomenon- the images of thought pass more rapidly through the brain, at last vertiginously fast. they are no longer recognized as thoughts, but imagined as exterior. the will and the ego become alarmed, and may be attacked and overwhelmed. this constitutes the main horror of the drug; it is to be combated by a highly- may i say magically- trained will. i trust my reade

rust my readers will concede that the practice of ceremonial magic and meditation, all occult theories apart, do lead the mind to immense power over its own imaginations. the fear of being swept away in the tide of relentless images is a terrible experience. woe to who yields! 3 "the narcotic effect (gamma. one simply goes off to sleep. this is not necessarily due to the brain-fatigue induced by (alpha) and (beta; for with one sample of "cannabis" i found it to occur independently. 41 v "for this paternal intellect, which comprehendeth the intelligibles and adorneth things ineffable, hath sowed symbols through the world "comprehending that intelligible with extended mind; for the intelligible is the flower of mind "a similar fire flashingly extending through the rushings of air, or a fire

body are felt as one point only. while the mystic will mutter some esoteric darkness about the true interpretation of the doctrine of the trinity. i think one should add that these results of my introspection are almost certainly due to my own training in philosophy and magic, and that nothing but the intensification of the introspective faculty is due to the hashish. probably, too, this effect (alpha) would be suppressed or unnoticed in a subject who had never developed his introspection at all. yet i am inclined to believe that this effect (alpha) is the true effect; and that ludlow's "access of self-consciousness" is but the same operating on the organization of a man evidently nervous and timid. 44 vi "the intelligible is the principle of all section "the mind of the father whirled fo

nd the time appears ineffably long. the other contrary fact, that a minute's samadhi appears as an eternity, though samadhi is a single thought, is explained by the intensity of that thought and by other considerations which i shall hope to discuss more fully in section xiii. of this essay. this, then, is what happens to the eater of hashish. for each impression he has thousands of glyphs (effect(alpha) or in the more common< effect (beta) the images are so multiplied and superimposed that all harmony is lost; the brain fails to keep pace with its impressions, still less to codify and control them. it finds then that from the idea "cat" to the idea "mouse" is a journey through the

considerations, one is yet perfectly in accord with baudelaire's conclusion, and for the same reason (we discard his preliminary sophisms) i have no use for hashish save as a preliminary demonstration that there exists another world attainable- somehow. possibly if pharmacists were to concentrate their efforts upon 56 producing a standard drug, upon isolating the substance responsible for effect (alpha, and so on, we might find a reliable and harmless adjuvant to the process which i have optimistically named scientific illuminism. but at least for the present we have not arrived so far. in my own case i should know fairly well what to do, well enough to get my little "loosening of the girders of the soul" at a guess twice in five times, perhaps more. not surely enough to guarantee results

influences of time and space. in any event these occurrences are horizontal, they exist within the experience of time, space and matter and hence exist on the material line. at the same time we can suggest this line is intersected by another, a vertical line, the line of spirit. whereas the horizontal moves from life to death, beginning to end and repeats again and again, the vertical moves from alpha to omega, from the heights to the depths. this image, the cross, is the primal image of the great chain of being and traditional cosmology. it is pregnant with meaning and within it are the central concepts of gnosticism. if we consider the cross and the intersection between the spiritual and the material, we can also contemplate the variations in ideals between these two extremes. the mater

that we understand what we are discussing clearly, as it forms the very foundation upon which we will build. to define what we are discussing, let us suggest that time and all related forces (such as space and matter) may be described in such a way as to form a line, on which we can define four major events. that which is before (even beyond) the framework of the line, the start of the line (the alpha event, the line itself and the end of the line (the omega point (fig 1. for ease, let us call this line the cosmic timeline. from the gnostic understanding what which exists before and beyond the timeline is perfection, the treasury of light (we will return to this soon, the end of the timeline is the omega day or the apocalypse, the timeline itself is formed by the various stages of human d

y page 14 at which time and matter began. this is an important point as the central questions for the gnostic are all related to the concept of time. how did the present system develop? what caused space, time and matter? by association what caused pain, suffering and death? for if there is time, there is entropy and therefore there is decay, suffering and finally cessation of time or death. this alpha event then is the major starting point for how we understand the gnostic system, because how we perceive matter and the development of matter, influences our whole view of life and the world. the nature of myth one of the major problems with comprehending the truth of the alpha event is that in the many diverse gnostic and religious traditions this event is presented in so many different way

ples who are symbolic of twelve signs of the zodiac and the twelve tribes of israel. they may be related to the innermost teachings- the esoteric mysteries. the seventy disciples who are symbolic of the seven rays and the seven days of creation etc. they may be related to the mesoteric or intermediate teachings. the multitudes who are symbolic of the exoteric or outer teachings. to understand the alpha event we need to consider the various myths, legends and religious stories and deduce the essential event from behind them. due consideration should be given to the way in which myth and legend form the language or symbol system of the mysteries (see fig 2. myths and legends of cosmic error in the biblical account we read of an archangel who rebels against the cosmic order and is thrown from

the cosmic light cast a reflection, an opposite. this reflection took on a life of its own and became the negative of the positive form, this reflection became the essence we understand as evil and as a natural expansion of itself, matter was formed. whichever myth or legend we accept (and we could continue with many from other cultures, traditions and scriptures) the essential truth is that the alpha event was one of cosmic error. the line of time, space and matter should not have come into being. it is a fallen system, one which is a mixture of light and darkness, but with a tendency towards darkness. entropy is the nature of the day, all things suffer and die. the alpha event caused a split in the spiritual worlds, which resulted in a division, a dualism between the higher and lower wo

being. it is a fallen system, one which is a mixture of light and darkness, but with a tendency towards darkness. entropy is the nature of the day, all things suffer and die. the alpha event caused a split in the spiritual worlds, which resulted in a division, a dualism between the higher and lower worlds (the subject of study three) and the higher and lower bodies (the subject of study four. the alpha event forms the central pivot of the gnostic worldview. if matter is an error and the particles of light or souls are locked within it, then we can begin to comprehend the duality between matter and spirit, mind and body, light and darkness. we can appreciate why the ruling force of the universe is entropy and why all things decay and die. it also offers us a unique view of history and the s

nd from there onwards things get successively worse until the kali age, which ends in an apocalypse of water and fire. the evolutionary or technological worldview sees human life from a materialistic angle. life has evolved from amoeba to human, becoming more and more complex with related advances in culture and technology. when two worldviews as juxtapositioned and considered in the light of the alpha event, some interesting things come to our attention. gnostic theurgy page 19 if we decided to draw a chart using the vertical bar to represents degrees of matter and spirit, matter in the lower corner, spirit in the higher, and we use the horizontal bar to represent the flow of time, the conflict between matter and spirit becomes obvious (see fig 3) while the golden age of spirit was occurr

bubble and burst in the amoebic stew. as matter evolved further and further, spirit in inverse proportion has had less and less influence. as we reach towards the end of our hypothetical timeline (the omega point, matter has reached it highest pinnacle, while spirit is at its lowest ebb. if you doubt the validity of the comparison, turn on your television and watch the news at seven and weep. the alpha event explains why there is an ongoing battle between spirit and matter and why they work in inverse proportions. it also explains the grand plan behind nature itself. since nature is the result of the alpha event, we should be able to see tell-tale signs within the very mechanism of nature itself to suggest its malevolent goals and its antipathy to spirit. the nature of nature the only reli

and there is a value (to nature at least) keeping men at war, when only the best survive and hence only the best stock reproduces. accordingly, good genes continue and nature is pleased. now i realise there is a lot of debate about nature versus nurture, however, the fact is that humanity is manipulated by its genetic programming. if we add to this our undergnostic theurgy page 20 standing of the alpha event, then this programming is at the worst malefic, at its best, unsavoury. if we extend this argument to include memes then it becomes even more relevant. memes are the mental equivalent to genes, it is argued that idea s can exist in the collective unconscious of humanity and influence and affect large numbers of people, nations and countries. accordingly, if we accept the hypothesis tha

that curtail the possibly of real spiritual development, awakening or realisation. nature, in itself, probably cannot be considered ethically evil, it is, however, fallen- designed in error, and therefore a mixture of light and darkness. as nature enters the human sphere, then the dualities which existed in potential, spirit matter the timeline omega point matter contra spirit: the nature of the alpha event. omega point chart of evolutionary technological cycle versus yuga/spirit cycle. fig three gnostic theurgy page 21 become dualites of an ethical nature. humanity can critically reason beyond genes and memes, beyond the archons, beyond the alpha event and return to the higher spiritual worlds. this means that mans error cannot be excused. he must awaken himself and achieve a rectificati

energy we receive. from the refraction model we can be already deduce some of the basic tasks of esoteric technology. 1. to assure that only the highest quality light is received. 2. to refine and purify the matrix. we will return and consider these issues again later in our lessons, especially when we come to consider the effect of having two sources of light and giving due consideration to the alpha event. for now, let us return to our model and examine how it can be applied to dimensions and worlds. flatland if we accept the refraction model, then we can theorise that the universe is multi-dimensional and probably has various levels of existence. if we consider this for a moment and ponder how real our dimension seems to us, then perhaps other gnostic theurgy page 25 levels would be pe

. in order to accept the food of gods as a source of pure nutrition, we need to understand more of how the body and our brain works and we will address the area of brain wave pattern research in more detail later. brain wave patterns and the divine nutrition program: briefly, there are four main brain wave patterns which are. the beta brain wave pattern at 14 to 30 cycles per second. level 1. the alpha brain wave pattern at 8 to 13 cycles per second. level 2& 3. the theta brain wave pattern at 4 to 7 cycles per second. level 2& 3. and lastly. the delta brain wave pattern at .5 to 3 cycles per second. level 3. although research on the differing type of brain wave patterns that occur between yogis and someone untrained in working with consciously altering their brain wave patterns, is now be

ally consumed by a me, me and mine mentality. when we are in this frequency field the idea of divine nutrition and living by its light usually seems ridiculous, unfeasible or something that belongs to some future dream world that is maybe populated by yogis and enlightened beings. essentially it is unimaginable as a choice for us and just not part of our personal reality. stage 2: discovering the alpha field and sometimes feeling hungry. level 1& 2 in the divine nutrition program (dnp: once our hunger for survival has been met, and even sometimes while we are still striving to survive, a human being may begin to seek to thrive rather than just survive. this next stage often occurs due to lack of emotional, mental and/or spiritual nourishment or sometimes due to a near death type experience

or example: to allow our minds to bath continually in negativity, and judgment, and the boxing of others and the disappointment that happens if they don t fulfill our expectations, is mental suicide as is the choice we make to always see the half empty glass rather than see it as being half full. to choose to feel stressed out when events in life feel overwhelming, when meditation and its gift of alpha. theta pool bathing allows us to feel more detached and act rather than react, can be seen as emotional suicide, as can continually choosing to interpret events in life in a way that promotes anger, hatred or fear. to choose to feed the body physical foods that research shares can create cancer and decrease our lifespan can also be seen as a form of suicide. of course the above can be seen a

are constantly radiating and absorbing frequencies from the inner and outer realms and when learning to live effectively in the various energy fields and dimensions, many questions arise. for example, if all life radiates energy: divine nutrition: the madonna frequency& the food of gods with jasmuheen 32. do we have to absorb the random and often limiting imprints from the beta field or even the alpha field? no. is it possible for a human being, knowing the benefits of the theta and delta fields, to exist purely in these frequencies while the majority of the world maintains the pulse of the beta field? yes. also is it possible to exist in any field and not be overwhelmed by it? yes. can we absorb what we want from all worlds on a frequency level in a positive way? yes. is it easier to rad

s a tangible personal experience that can easily move us beyond all doubt. also as more of us tune to the divine channels for our nourishment, the global field also becomes better nourished and this is a change that can be measured via the schumann resonance. this now proves that the old beta field of mass consciousness, and hence the earth s frequency itself, has changed and is now running at an alpha resonance of about 7.4 cycles per second. this means two things, firstly that the earth s frequency is now providing a nurturing base for humanity to bath in and catch up to and match individually; and secondly that all the earth healing work that our grid engineers, geomancers and light workers have been doing for the last few decades is bringing positive results for those with eyes to see

the earth healing work that our grid engineers, geomancers and light workers have been doing for the last few decades is bringing positive results for those with eyes to see. this change has also been helped by a number of other factors. for example: the maharishi s organization has been supporting dimensional biofield technicians to hold open the inner doors, via meditation and lifestyle, to the alpha. theta. delta field. this has resulted in the flooding of the beta field with purer alpha and theta delta frequencies. according to the capacity that each dimensional biofield technician has for field imprinting. every field technician s abilities to consciously alter the fields will differ according to their keynote, which is affected by their day-to-day lifestyle. however, we need to under

our capacity for these frequencies is always changing and expanding once we move out of our self imposed boxes and limitations. physically, emotionally and mentally and spiritually. for example, a person who exercises every day has far greater capacity physically than a person who exercises once a year. a person who meditates every day has far greater sensitivity to and capacity to magnetize the alpha. theta. delta waves than someone who constantly engages in beta field activities and is never in stillness. this is why a beta field person who has never meditated and never experienced the love waves of their own divine being pulse through them, has great difficultly in comprehending the game of divine nourishment and living on its light. the beta field is the field of poverty, violence, so

only thus may the widespread misconceptions as to magic be removed. some members of the order were incensed at this action, but others were quite happy-they no longer had to copy all the order materials tediously by hand. in regardie's words "some approved of the publication of these books; a very few disapproved. that's all there is to it" nevertheless most temples of the stella matutina and the alpha et omega slowly stagnated and died, just as regardie had predicted. but because of regardie's actions, all students of magic today owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. according to francis king and isabel sutherland "that the rebirth of occult magic has taken place in the way it has can be very largely attributed to the writings of one man, dr. francis israel regardie."3 regardie made a ve

to the zigzag egyptian hieroglyphic for water. this ancient symbolism is reflected in the second part of sefer yesirah, where the three matrix letters, alef, mem, and shin, are correlated respectively with the elements of air, water, and fire. interestingly, the influence of the water symbol of mem is discernible in the greek letter mu, and, in an orphic verse describing zeus, mu is combined with alpha and omega to signify beginning, middle (meson, and end. see barry, greek qabbalah, pp. 77 78, 181. consider the reworking of isaiah 44:6 in revelation 1:8. the passage is discussed in chapter 5. in revelation 21:6, the depiction of god as alpha and omega is associated with the image of the fountain of the water of life (based on the expression meqor mayyim hayyim in jer 2:13. on the role of

ZALEWSKI SECRET INNER ORDER RITUALS OF THE GOLDEN DAWN OCR

ects of importance. in my own case, i hope that some of the historical gleanings concerning felkin and the new zealand order will assist g.d. historians, in that it fits neatly with howe's section on the stella matutina. while i feel i have tidied up some of the facts on the new zealand order, there is still much more research to do on the history and fate of the other temples of the golden dawn, alpha et omega and stella matutina. p.j. zalewski new zealand 1986 chapter one felkin and the new zealand order for most occult historians, the golden dawn ceases to exist in 1900 and the grade of 5=6 was the highest one attained among the adepti: the exceptions being mathers, woodman, and wescott who were 7=4; and moira mathers who reached the rank of 6=5. at that stage, there were subgrades with

point, mathers wanted to test the effect of the rituals of the 6=5 and 7=4 ceremonies by giving his american students the opportunity to use the practical work of the 5=6 subgrade rituals and ease into the two powerful grade currents. after the break in 1900 the order split into two groups. the first was still called the golden dawn under mathers (though this name was later changed to the a.o. or alpha et omega temples. the second group was under a triad of felkin, brodie imes, and percy bullock had effectually changed the name of their outer order to the morganrote, though by 1903 a split had occurred once more and two further orders were then developed: the stella matutina under felkin and the holy order of the golden dawn under waite. during the next ten years felkin came under increasi

omparing these with the golden dawn rituals, they are almost identical as far as structure goes, with waite using his own invocations. from this, two things emerge. first is that waite obviously had not seen the ciphers at that point, and the second, is that up to that point (four years later) he was working golden dawn rituals which differed only slightly in structure from those practiced in the alpha et omega and stella matutina. one interesting point is waite used the mather's cards in the rituals, though his own pack was then published. during the ten years that felkin lived at whare ra he ran the temple like a military operation. classes were held on week nights for outer order members in which esoteric philosophy and ritual were taught. on weekends he held classes for the inner order
