rn in a loving and sexually open society in which expressing physical love for each other was as natural as the sea and sky, there would not be the same emotional pain in exactly the same circumstances. sex has been turned, by design i most strongly feel, into a form of suppression, control, and limitation. guilt is the major factor in achieving all three. and if the power of the base (sexuality) chakra can be diminished, we don't absorb energy to our full potential. this affects our life span and creativity. on the one hand, sex has been presented as something sinful and dirty, thanks to the influence of religion, and on the other it has become for many a merely physical experience, a means of releasing physical desires and frustrations. both, i believe, are a travesty of what sex really

tshire, england, is a prime example. this strategy pours negative energy into the network at these points, weakening the flow within the lines, and suppressing the frequency. i have spoken to many people recently who have begun to identify a pattern in the united kingdom of roads and broadcasting transmitters of various kinds which are sited very near or on well known earth acupuncture points and chakra vortices. it goes beyond the bounds of random coincidence. the people who make these decisions often have no idea of the energy grid significance, but who is feeding thoughts into their consciousness or who is passing down the free at last 451 instructions from the upper reaches of the global pyramid of manipulation? the fourth dimensional manipulators. you can also create wars and sufferin

ir final concretion in form, and their submission to the disintegrating influences of death in order that their substance may be utilised again. the form into which they have been organised by the slow processes of evolution has served its purpose, and the force must be set free; this is the spiritual significance of the processes of excretion, putrefaction, and decomposition, 17. the svadisthana chakra, the six-petalled lotus, at the base of the generative organs, is assigned by general fuller to yesod. this agrees with the western tradition, which assigns yesod to the reproductive organs of the divine man; its astrological correspondence with the moon, diana-hecate, also agrees with this attribution. crowley, though assigning yesod to the phallus in column xxi of "777" assigns the svadis

ar. 18. tiphareth, by universal consent, represents the solar plexus and breast; it therefore seems reasonable to attribute to it the manipura and anahata chakras, as crowley does. fuller attributes these chakras to geburah and chesed, but as these two sephiroth find their equilibrium in tiphareth, this attribution presents no difficulty and causes no discrepancy. 19. in the same way the visuddhu chakra, which in the hindu system correlates with the larynx and is referred to binah by crowley, and the ajna chakra at the root of the nose, which correlates with the pineal gland and is referred to chokmah by the same authority, may be taken as uniting for function in daath, situated at the base of the skull. 20. the sahasrara chakra, the thousand-petalled lotus, situated above the head, is ref

modifying each other, till finally we shall arrive at a realisation that differs very widely from anything to which western thought is accustomed. 18. the third name of power denominates, not one being, but a whole class of beings, the choirs of angels as they are called by the rabbis, and these again represent intelligent natural forces. 19. the fourth denominates what we have called the mundane chakra, that is to say the celestial object which is looked upon as the product of the particular phase of evolution which took place under the presidency of that sephirah and which represents it. 20. the third aspect under which we consider the sephiroth is the magical aspect and is essentially practical. to arrive at this, we think of what may be experienced under the presidency of these differe

r of his people; and the situation of chesed in the centre of the pillar of mercy further bears out the idea of stability and ordered and merciful law, governing for the good of the governed. the title of the angelic host associated with chesed-the chasmalim, or brilliant ones nhances the idea of the royal splendour of gedulah, which is an alternative title frequently used for chesed. the mundane chakra assigned to chesed- jupiter, the great benignity of astrology-confirms the whole chain of associations. 22. upon the microcosmic, or subjective, side we find that the virtue assigned to this sphere of experience is that of obedience. it is only through the virtue of obedience that the sublect can profit by the wise rule of chesed. we have to sacrifice much of our independence and egoism in

additional titles din (justice) and pachad (fear, is one of the least understood of all the sephiroth, and is therefore one of the most important. were it not that the qabalistic doctrine explicitly lays it down that all the ten sephiroth are holy, there are many who would be inclined to look upon geburah as the evil aspect of the tree of life. indeed, the planet mars, whose sphere is the mundane chakra of geburah, is called in astrology an infortune. 2. those, however, who are instructed beyond the crude pretty-pretty of a wish-fulfilling philosophy know that geburah is by no means the enemy or adversary described in scripture, but the king in his chariot going forth to war whose strong right arm protects his people with the sword of righteousness and ensures that justice shall be done. c

wheel. in the esoteric systems of hindus and buddhists, the chakras are power centers within the human body that can be activated by specific exercises. usually there are said to be seven chakras, but in traditional hindu philosophy there are really only six- what is regarded as the seventh chakra in western occultism is outside the body, and is different in nature from the lower six. the lowest chakra is called the muladhara. it is located in the perineum, between the anus and the root of the penis in men, and between the anus and the opening of the vagina in women. sometimes is it said to lie at the base of the spine, but this is an error. it lies in the fleshy tissues some two inches from the end of the tailbone. the second chakra is called the swadhisthana, and is located just above t

en when bleeding does not ensue. the union of kundalini with the thousand-petaled lotus confers bliss that is both physical and spiritual. the sensation is sustained, constant, powerful without being harsh, and may be likened to an orgasm that is not localized in the genitals, and is extremely subtle and refined. kundalini is sometimes describes as a serpent that lies sleeping below the muladhara chakra, her body coiled in three and one-half turns around the base of the spine. kundalini is awakened by postures that stimulate the muladhara, primarily a sitting posture in which one of the heels is pressed against the perineum. in conjunction with this posture, breathing exercises in which the breath is held and compressed into the lower abdomen are used while the anus is rhythmically contrac

ti that is being contemplated. the awakening of kundalini is indicated by spontaneous excitation and tumescence of the genitals. in men this means strong, spontaneous erection of the penis without any erotic thoughts or imagery in the mind, and without any physical stimulation of the penis. this is accompanied by the sensation of being touched or caressed on the surface of the skin. the muladhara chakra forms a hardness at the perineum. during the period of contemplation and communion with the chosen aspect of shakti, the penis will rise and fall rhythmically, remaining erect for periods of ten minutes or so, then becoming flaccid for several minutes, then rising again. this goes on for hours at a time- for as long as the communion with the goddess is maintained. in women, the external gen

nflamed genitals, or if the physical state of tumescence causes erotic thoughts to enter the mind, tumescence ceases almost immediately. for example, the penis can be strongly erect even to the point of discomfort, yet if the mind is allowed to wander from the goddess, erection can completely vanish within the space of five or ten seconds. in recent times there has been an attempt to identify the chakra with nerve centers in the human body. for this reason the chakras are often said to be arrayed along the spinal column. this is incorrect, as anyone who has actually felt the chakras will testify. they are felt near the front of the body, not on the surface of the body but closer to the front than to the back. each chakra has its own unique sensation. it is possible that these sensations va

nder the skin just in front of the anus. the swadhisthana and manipura are, in my experience, somewhat similar- they feel like a sucking or sinking pit in the flesh, almost as though an invisible hand is being pressed down inside the flesh at their locations. this is not painful. at least, i have not found it painful, but i should mention that some practitioners experience discomfort. the anahata chakra is experienced as a contraction and irregularity of the heart. it is often accompanied by a remarkably pleasant sensation of sinking of floating. there is a distinct sense that the physical heart is being touched or caressed by some sort of spiritual hand. when this first happens, it can be somewhat alarming, since we are not usually accustomed to sensation and irregularity in the muscles o

mystics pictured kundalini as a coiled serpent situated at the base of the spine in the subtle body. when aroused by spiritual disciplines, which included breath control and meditation, the energy darted up the spine in any of three subtle channels, illuminating the seven major centers or chakras in the body. these centers have been tentatively identified with the major nervous plexi. the seventh chakra, known as the sahasrara or thousand petalled lotus, is located in the area of the crown of the head. many indian yogis have described blissful conditions of mystical consciousness resulting from the arousal of kundalini and its successful culmination in the sahasrara. this supreme experience is compared with the sexual embrace of the god siva and his consort. today, the idea of chakras is s

had a secondary body composed of spiritual/psychic energies. in tantra, sexual energy in the yogi is manifested in a pure form as kundalini, a psychophysiological force resting like a coiled snake at the base of the spine. when awakened, the kundalini travels up the spine to the several psychic centers called chakras and eventually to the top of the head. the rise of the kundalini to the highest chakra brings higher consciousness and spiritual enlightenment. tantrics usually can be divided into two distinct groups. the original self-existent gods were supposed to divide themselves into male and female energies, the male half occupying the right-hand and the female the left-hand side. from this conception we have the two groups of right-hand observers and left-hand observers. in distinctio

seven centres are interface stations whereby energy from the solar sphere can be received and where, via spiritual practise, the energies of the mind and astral-etheric organism can be transformed. the seven chakras are located within the astral and etheric bodies (with links to the various related levels of con- sciousness) and are seen as a sequence of energy receptors an distributors, the term chakra literally means wheel of energy. the size of the chakra tends to be from two to six inches varying according to the degree of spiritual development. each of these centres is related to a state of consciousness and a colour. the states of consciousness can also be discovered by a esoteric reading of the seven days of creation in genesis the four attributes of the churches the four attributes

hundred and fifty eight, which is also the number of the messiah or christos- the self awakened saviour, the true self of every awakened being. the four attributes of each church as given in the book of revelation are: 1. characteristics of the church and city. 2. commendation of the church. 3. counsel and warning. 4. promises to overcomers. the church of ephesus the church of ephesus is the base chakra. it is known as desirable and is that of the primal instincts. it is desired by and desires the sahasrara (laodicea) centre. the union of these centres locks the organism into the static currents of the treasury of light. the characteristic of the city is that of change, the change from earthly to gnostic worship. this represents the transmutation of purely "nature" oriented vibrations into

ng. the counsel and warning is that the church has left its true love. this clearly refers to the need for the base centre to be totally directed to the treasury of light. whether it is swayed by family, lust, desire or even love, any movement away from gnostic theurgy page 78 the goal is "sin (the word sin literally means "to miss the mark) the promise offered to those who correctly use the base chakra is the ability to "eat from the tree of life. this has many different shades of meaning, ranging from the promise of immortality to the liberation of the self through the activation of the tree of life. the church of smyrna the church of smyrna is the svadhisthana chakra in the hindu system or in our terms the sacral centre. it is known as sweet smelling and is related to the sexual organs

o the innate error of reproduction and the propogation of children. it also can be applied to the supposed christian churches who have no knowledge of the inner teachings and offer pithy morality and prejudice in the place of wisdom. the promise is the gift of the crown of life. that is returning to the treasury of light, reaching the crown at the pinnacle of the tree of life, the top of the head chakra (kether. the church of pergamos the church of pergamos is the solar plexus chakra. it is known as elevation or height, for it governs the balance of the organism through its central position. it is also elevated in that it dominates and controls the lower chakras. the characteristic of the city is that of being the capital city where the supreme court and priests of babylon sat in judgement

are highly symbolic, the hidden manna represents a special stage known in the alchemical process of self transformation. it is also sometimes known as the white powder, it is a stage prior to the philosophers stone. this substance is symbolic of the processes of internal transformation that are working through transfiguration. the church of thyatira the church of thyatira is the heart or anahata chakra. it is known as "sacrifice or contrition" as it involves the sacrifice of the fallen facets of the organism and the things of the world to the higher self (yechidah. the characteristic of the city is that it is a manufacturing town with a altar dedicated to apollo. these two characteristics are very important; the first represents the power of the heart centre, when properly activated it ma

r fame, money, achievement, material gain, and family. the promise offered to those who use this centre correctly is the gift of the morning star. the morning star is venus or lucifer and represents the state of "light bearing" this is an allegorical way to represent the awakening of the light or static fields within the gnostic. the church of sardis the church of sardis is the throat or visuddha chakra. it is given the title of "that which remains "as it is the portal before entering the higher chakras. it has a similar meaning in the kabbalistic systems. the characteristic of the city is death. it is the centre of warning and echoes either power or destruction. a further characteristic of this city is that it is a city whose glory has passed away, this emphasises the role of this centre

e the gnostic theurgy page 82 father. that is, they will join the pleroma. it also has a kabbalistic meaning, confession before the father means crossing the abyss and being reborn as a master in the supernals (the top three centres of the tree of life. this is to be confessed or witnessed by the father, kether. the church of philadelphia the church of philadelphia is the third eye or ajna (brow) chakra. it is given the title of brotherly love because of its awesome power. the insight and force of this centre can only be understood when experienced through agape of divine love, only by a pure desire to return to the treasury of light can this force be correctly awakened and experienced. the characteristic of the city is its ability to grow and spread. this is symbolic of the great power of

h the logos can the ajna be awakened. the counsel and warning is that there will be a temptation to make others worship at your feet. no semblance of fallen self can be allowed to remain when awakening this force, any dialectic field will cause destruction. the promise offered to those who overcome this centre is that they be made a pillar in the temple of god. that is, they will have their whole chakra system activated and transformed, and will thereby become static in nature and achieve immortality. the church of laodicea the church of laodicea is the sahasrara or crown centre. it is located above the top of the head and is known as judging the people. its name suggests the immense and awesome power of this centre, it is that of divinity, godhood and deification. through this enlightened

of those who have grown correctly is godhood. the commendation has also been removed from the description. there is no second chance here, either perfection or destruction. the counsel and warning is similar, be zealous and not lukewarm. so then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, i will spew thee out of my mouth. revelation 3:16 the promise is that those who correctly open this chakra and unite all the centres as one will achieve liberation from the fallen worlds. the creation of the diamond body if we again consider consciousness in terms of our refraction model, we may conceive that if it is refracted through the lens of the brain/mind complex, then a spectrum of seven states of being will result. in some sense this is what occurs within the human personality. this spe

GREENFIELD ALLEN SECRET CIPHER OF THE UFONAUTS

my own view. that they need to do this, and that they often fail in their efforts, is itself an indication that (a) the black lodge is opposed by something else, equally as strong, and (b) they are afraid of something we might find out- about them, about their opposition, about ourselves or all three. the story of our interaction with the ufonauts begins with the qabalistic tree of life, and the chakra system of the body. according to the primal occult and frequently secret and subversive view, the manifest universe emerges from an ultimate not-thing, a consciousness or beingness beyond words or expressions sometimes referred to as the unmanifest or the secret cipher of the ufonauts 59 limitless light. this unmanifest cannot be understood in the external sense, but can be known in the gno

n which these groups attained their greatest, ruinous power over the german state coincides closely with the reports of ghost rockets over northern europe. the british raj in india, and the european christian colonization of the east in general, had all but destroyed the classical tantrism and illuminism of the great white brotherhood in the east, finding such institutions as temple prostitution, chakra-puji, shiva devotion, etc. to be sexual obscenity. on the other hand, fearing the power of the black lodge as a political entity and eroding its hold on esoteric eastern religion as a practical necessity had provoked the british to effectively dismantle the classical eastern manifestation of the black lodge, and western occultists visiting the east in the 19th and early 20th century already

estern occultists visiting the east in the 19th and early 20th century already could only find watered-down remnants and secret adepts carrying on the hidden wisdom in either form. the great white brotherhood survived in tibet along with the dark lodges, and, since the chinese occupation, many of its chiefs have found their way to india and around the world. as far as is known, the last classical chakra-puj to be observed by a westerner was in the 1930s, while the last ancient intact body of adepts of the eastern black lodge, ironically dedicated to foisting upon sleeping humanity a rank and demoralizing materialism, was discovered and destroyed in accordance with the insipid marxism which guided the chinese people s liberation army into tibet in the late 1950s. among various tantric buddh

INITIATION INTO HERMETICS

paths leading to truth must be the same. let me mention here the indian yoga system concerning the snake power that is in accordance with the systems of the egyptian mysteries i have quoted. in kundalini yoga the scholar is exhorted to meditate on the muladhara center, the seat of which is the coccyx, and to perform pranayama exercises there. if we look closely at the symbolism of the muladharaa chakra we shall find tht this center has the shape of a yellow square with a red triangle in it. the center of it is a phallus wrapped three and a half times with a snake. the muladhara chakra is the first, most primitive and gross center that is symbolized by an elephant placed in a corner together with the respective goddess. this symbolic expression, called laya-yoga in india, is unequivocal an

the triangle the three kingdoms of the material, astral and mental world, the phallus the generative power or the imagination, and the serpent the path and the knowledge. the fact is well known to the scholar that the earth principle is composed of four elements, and it does not need any comment. the growing yogi first has to learn to know and control the three worlds. consequently, the muladhara chakra is nothing else but an initiating diagram corresponding to the first tarot card. such an unsophisticated definition like this has never been given in india, and it is left to the scholar to find out by himself if he can master the muladhara center, if he has accomplished the development corresponding to the muladhara diagram on his spiritual path. the muladhara chakra also has been called t

r because in this phase of development the yogi scholar recognizes brahma as the godhead in the most subtle manifestation. brahma is the eternal, the inscrutable, the universal, the indefinable, the steady and the calm, and therefore the positive part. brahma does not create out of himself, but all that has been created has been done so by his shakti, the female principle. shakti in the muladhara chakra represents the serpent winding round the phallus and using the imagination, its creative power. a lot more could be said about this center, but the experienced magician will be satisfied with these hints to understand that a parallel exists between religious and initiating systems. consequently the shakti or kundalini power represents the imagination that the magician has to develop systema

stem, and you should not fight it (like a shiver down the spine, it is totally involuntary and natural) don't scare yourself into stopping the exercise at this point. soon, the jerking motions will stop, and you may begin moving in a very fluid fashion. you will not be able to hold still after this point, and you shouldn't try. the energy will increase to the point where it reaches your third eye chakra. once you have this flow at maximum capacity, continue for as long as you can. when you finally release the energy into the universal current, be sure you concentrate on pure love. this is the easiest thing to do, and is a good default target spell. if you have no blocks, you will get the experience of a lifetime from this exercise. do not be shocked at anything your physical body does, or

ucers, much increased in size. we sometimes speak of them as roughly corresponding to certain physical organs; in reality they show themselves at the surface of the etheric double, which projects slightly beyond the outline of the dense body. if we imagine ourselves to be looking straight down into the bell of a flower of the convolvulus type, we shall get some idea of the general appearance of a chakra. the stalk of the flower in each case springs from a point in the spine, so another view might show the spine as a central stem, from which flowers shoot forth at intervals, showing the opening of their bells at the surface of the etheric body. 381. the seven centres with which we are at present concerned are indicated in the accompanying illustration (plate ix) it will be seen that they ar

mony in detail i think we shall find that every incident in it falls under one or other of these three heads. 458. thinking of the ritual from the point of view of a ceremony of admission into the order, it seems naturally to divide itself into three parts. the central point of the ceremony, the climax of our effort, is the definite admission into the order- the point at which a certain centre or chakra is opened, a certain potentiality of power given. all that precedes that in the ceremony is of the nature of preparation for that point; all that follows it is in the nature of explanation of what has been done, or of exhortation as to how the power can best be developed and used. all through the ceremony everything is arranged so that the candidate may receive the greatest possible benefit

ry of the ghost of sudeva, who was released by king babhruvahana. this neglect of ceremonial would not matter to us in modern times, because we have not those ideas; but it is a literal fact that after death a man fs own thought could keep him bound in that way until he knew or believed that his body had been properly interred. so this was a very ancient p c in reality the s c refers to a certain chakra and its working, as i have already explained. it is, of course, not permissible to describe the g c, but it will not be difficult for a freemason to understand that it implies the repression of the astral body, which is the first of the superphysical principles of man. 536. examination and investiture 537. the j.d. next takes the n. to the pedestals of the w.j.w. and the w.s.w. for examinat

f this degree. it is interesting to note the change of colour that comes over the lodge when it is opened in this degree- not that the distinctive hues of the light-globes of the various officers are lost, but that they are all modified by the admixture of a dominant tint which blends itself with them all. that master-colour was crimson in the e.a. degree, while in the f.c. it is yellow. 590. the chakra which we seek to awaken in this degree is a centre within the astral body which gives the power to sympathize with the emotional vibrations of others, so that the man instinctively knows their feelings; and when the corresponding etheric chakra is also stimulated it brings those experiences into the physical body, so that he becomes aware even on this plane of the joys and sorrows of his fe

mpathize with the emotional vibrations of others, so that the man instinctively knows their feelings; and when the corresponding etheric chakra is also stimulated it brings those experiences into the physical body, so that he becomes aware even on this plane of the joys and sorrows of his fellow-men. forces from the spleen centre, such as have been described in chapter v, are playing through this chakra also, but this time it is the yellow ray which goes to the heart, and after doing its work there passes to the brain and permeates it, directing it principally to the twelve-petalled flower in the midst of the highest force centre at the crown of the head. the connection of this especial centre with the second degree is obvious when we remember its characteristics of companionship and servi

epression, anger, and lust all help to spill the cup of life; at these times, the human being radiates (wastes) life-force more intensely. fresh fruits and vegetables are considered to have higher concentrations of this life-force as opposed to meats and processed foods. life-force, the energy of the spirit, manifests itself from the astral world through specific points on the body often called a chakra. although there is some disagreement regarding how many chakra points the human body has, since in truth it has many, 5-7 of them are widely accepted and considered major chakras. the major chakra points form a linear, vertical path from the soles of the feet, up the spine to a region just above the head. these chakra points are essentially junctions between someone s material and etheric b

sm. with none of these am i wholly in accord, though in each of them may be some germ of truth. none of them answer the facts of experience. and i can only suggest that these people would do far better to apply themselves zealously to a little experimental work rather than waste time in vain explanations and baseless theories. some will note that this exercise corresponds in some ways to the yoga chakra system.15 there is, assuredly, correspondence. but there are several very important differences and variations. the first, a minor difference, is the number and position of the centers involved. but this does not require discussion. what is fundamental, however, is the entirely different approach. the yoga techmque commences its meditations from the lowest chakra and works upwards to the sa

e. mercury assumes the central six, the num- ber of god and of the enlightened magus. extending the logic of a mercury-central system to the chakras, mercury must occupy the heart, which is the regulator of the emotions and activity, the mediator between the inner and outer worlds, between thought and feeling, between desire and action. the emanator of light, the sun, naturally falls on the crown chakra, which is the resplendent thousand-petaled lotus, source of spiritual illumination. saturn descends to the belly chakra to symbolize the process of breakdown and decay in the lower intestine. on the tree of life mercury accords well with the mediating and regulating nature of tiphareth. the beauty of tiphareth stems from its dynamic equipoise. this is its perfection. it does not create so m

it is far better for the student to work out such problems inde- pendently than to blindly accept the opinions of others. by mentally entering any of the chakras, the magus can experience the essence of the related planet with his or her senses from inside the planet. in effect, the white light of his or her spirit is refracted through a filter colored with the nature of the planetary being. each chakra is a filter of a different color corresponding to the planet and the sephiroth or sephirah to which it relates. if the magus chooses to enter the crown center he or she will feel a oneness with the light. the brow center will give a feeling of penetrating intellect and clarity of per- ception. the throat center causes a burgeoning of the subtle powers of intuition and symbolism. the heart c

ly through the front and back of the body. all three rays should intersect at right angles to each other. mentally enter the point where the rays intersect, which should be visualized as a small ball of white light. visualize the world from the perspective of that point. look back upon your brain as though observing it from the outside. next, gradual- ly let the white ball assume the color of the chakra's related planet while you imagine the entire universe slowly whirling sunwise around your new center of awareness. this is a difficult exercise requiring great powers of visualization. the entry of the awareness into one of the seven chakras is something that must be learned-it cannot be taught any more than a person can be taught to ride a bicycle. success will be heralded by a sense of v

taneous method. later in the course of his experiments, fox developed a technique of separation that he described as the pineal doorway technique because he associated it with the pineal gland of his brain. while in a trance state, he focused his consciousness inward on the center of his forehead between his brows. this is the place known in eastern lore as the third eye, the location of the ajna chakra. when the technique was successful, he seemed to feel a click in that place in his head, as though a door had closed behind him, and at once he was released into the astral world with a much greater degree of clarity of mind and freedom of action than he had enjoyed when traveling through his lucid dreams. presentiments of danger during these experiments, fox often heard his wife calling to

head still ached and his forehead continued to feel puffy. this abduction could also be described as a typical experience of astral projection. the only thing missing is the silver cord. the puffy feeling above bender's eyebrows may have a relationship to what oliver fox termed his pineal doorway, which he believed to be located between his eyebrows at what is known in kundalini yoga as the ajna chakra, the chakra of the body most associated with psychic abilities. the coldness of the body can be felt in communications with spiritual beings. the yellow mist is, again, a classic detail. those who project the astral double often report that the air appears to be alive with tiny dust motes that dance and shimmer as though caught in a beam of sunlight. i have seen this myself during astral pr

habit temporarily. how effectively you are able to use it depends on your powers of concentration. there are exercises designed to enhance concentration, but we will not go into them, since they should not be necessary for the average person with a strong determination to succeed in soul flight. a useful trick is to imagine that you project your astral awareness out of your body through your ajna chakra, the so-called third eye that is located approximately between your eyebrows.you can intensify your focus by turning your eyes to look at this spot with your eyelids closed, but you should not turn them so strongly that the strain becomes a distraction and reduces the effectiveness of your practice. a gentle turning inward and upward works best. imagine that you see the sign of projection s

circle made with your right index finger to guide its projection. when you have visualized the large circle clearly, lie back on the bed. make the sign of departure in the air before your face with your right hand. close your eyes and sustain the sign of departure in your mind, as though it were projected on the inner surface of your eyelids or upon the inner surface of your forehead at your ajna chakra. be aware that the blue circle in the sign of departure is your body, and is also in an expanded sense the circle of light you have projected around your bed. the red line that extends upward from the center of the circle is your flight path into the astral world. the symbolic key you have chosen to define the astral place or environment you wish to visit should be beneath your hands on you

ities are closely related, and in my opinion are aspects of a single mental faculty that also shows itself in the form of lucid dreams and near death experiences. this psychic talent to gain awareness of the astral world is present in all individuals, but usually lies dormant unless triggered by a traumatic event such as an illness or a sudden physical injury. it appears to be related to the ajna chakra of the body, the mystical third eye between the eyebrows that may correspond with the pineal gland. the regular use of certain objects and practices can help to develop this latent talent. the underlying unity between scrying and astral projection is indicated by the way in which these activities overlap. at times, astral travelers are aware of being in their projected bodies yet on other o

or silver-plated basin or bowl filled with fresh, clear water beneath your bed prior to beginning the ritual. the silver and the water will both attract lunar virtue, and will facilitate the separation of the astral double during the ritual. just before getting on the bed, you may wish to wet your fingertip in the basin and touch the water to your forehead, between your eyebrows, where your ajna chakra is located, so that this part of your skin wdl be drying and cooling as you visualize the sign of projection. the use of these and all other astral doorways is optional. they should be employed where they are found to help, and discarded without a qualm when they are tried and found to be valueless or obstructive. every person who practices soul flight is different, and no two human beings

ase in genesis 15: 13 "and you shall know for certain that your descendants shall be aliens in a land not their own" this refers to the time that the israelites would be in egypt, but in an esoteric sense, it can be taken for the mysterious alien territory of daath, about which we can only make strange guesses as to its real nature. it is interesting to note that gareth knight assigns the mundane chakra sothis to daath, as this was the deep esoteric mythology that most inspired the ancient egyptians.it was said to be the home of isis herself (sirius. isis is the high priestess in the tarot and this is the only path, it is said by the masters, that one can use to safely cross the abyss. although some have placed daath in the throat center (visualizing the tree within one's body) or in the h

olden dawn. the chart in figure 14-d lists some corresponding mental and emotional states aroused by stimulating these zodiacal tattwas. the following section lists the overall effects produced by stimulation of the planetary chakras, based on color. i have found them to be much more powerful and effective than those that base their correspondences on an eastern tradition.for example, the rainbow chakra meditation. the rainbow, in the western tradition, is in the body, not the chakras, or interior planets, as can be plainly deduced by studying the tree (it is in her discussion of the tattwas that blavatsky says the prismatic or rainbow scale is "a false reflection, a true maya [1980, p. 398. the student should study the charts in figures a and b closely, concentrating on discovering their

subtle bodies, and the network that connects to the physical body. it is here that we find the key. figure 14-d the occult uses of color in this section we will examine some of the reasoning behind this kind of occult use of sound and color, as well as how the planetary energies relate to the interior chakras. examine the following associations: saturn/indigo ray: corresponds to the first or root chakra; associated with the tone a; energy reservoir of the body, often called kundalini; stimulates deliberation and concentration; also rules skeletal system; deficiency causes eccentric personality, inability of system to rid itself of wastes; it is the ray of introspection and the color that bridges the finite and the infinite. sun/orange ray: corresponds to the heart chakra; tone d; a high en

ole spectrum so the combination of sound and color works on the whole body. we do not need to consciously understand what is working on what for the technique to be effective. dr. case never advocated shining colored lights on specific body parts; rather, he suggested immersing oneself in the color completely in the imagination through the after-image. in the case of the rainbow meditation or the chakra meditation, the whole body is infused with the desired color through the eyes and the imagination. this is an important distinction from attempting to direct color to a specific area. although traditional medicine presently refuses to direct sufficient attention to the curative properties of sound and color, there is a large body of accumulating evidence that much of what was thought by the

ay to understand how the seven planes of existence are formed and how the one becomes the many. when considering humanity our model is even more expressive, energy is received into the mind/brain complex (the matrix) and it is distributed through the sevenfold systems in the organism. these systems vary depending on the form of energy received, we have the seven states of consciousness, the seven chakras or, on a more physical level, the seven phases of the endocrine system and related physiological structures. ramifications of the refraction model when we begin to contemplate this model we can start to see how eloquent it really is. the first consideration is what variations can be made to effect the spectrum s results. two answers come to mind: fig 4 1. source of energy 2. the matrix. 3

ise these descriptions are far from satisfactory, however it is very difficult to define alternate realities without reference to other subjects which we have not covered as yet. since the gnostic system is self referencing, we have a situation where each truth is dependant on an understanding of others. so please be patient, as you study more and learn more about the nature of man, the kabbalah, chakras and other related subjects, you will gain more insight into how all these fields relate and you will slowly be able to appreciate the developing gnostic worldview. now, you will remember that at our last study we drew seven parallel lines, diagrammatical, illustrating the seven kosmic elements, in which work the seven kosmic forces of principles- the energy-consciousness side of being. ple

the basic framework of the universe is still the same. while matter is certainly fallen, it has fallen on the same patterns or vibrations as all of the forces within the total system. nothing is totally outside, accordingly, all things are somehow connected, even if only in design or prototype. if we can work out the vibration rates or correlations between varying systems (bodies, planes, worlds, chakras, colours, sounds etc) then we can use this knowledge to bring about influence and change. if we find that, for example, a certain plane, body, state of consciousness, colour, sound, taste and so on are related, then it isn t a far step to using some sort of spiritual practice to influence or change one or all of the correlations. this is very much the foundation of the ritual technology us

untransfigured man tries to explore the higher worlds he can only go as far as his untransformed astral body is capable of taking him. accordingly, he ends in the lower astral kingdoms, where he will confuse the astral light of the archons with the real light of the higher worlds. the process of forming the antakarana is through the use of the imagination and is intricately connected to the seven chakras or as the gnostics understood them, the seven churches. to appreciate this we need to understand that the brain/mind complex and the electro-magnetic fields are not isolated in their respective systems. it is too easy to consider the brain/mind as only operating within the physical organ of the brain, but consciousness is more complex than that. consciousness exists on seven different leve

ough the use of imagination, meditation, ritual and related techniques the energies in these centres can be refined and the antakarana and adept/scribe created. as further refinement takes place more energy from the solar logos can be received into the psychic/ mental structures, while at the same time limiting the receipt of fallen forces this is self perpetuating, as more light is received, the chakras are further developed and more light is received again. the seven churches or chakras hence form a central aspect of the spiritual practice of transfiguration. the mystery of the seven churches these seven are the eyes of the lord, which range throughout the earth. zechariah 4:10 the seven churches of the revelation of jesus christ to st. john have many meanings. in keeping with multiple l

t the idea of that p c y has been associated with it from an early period in history, as may be seen by reference to the works of dr. albert churchward. there is, however, yet another more occult meaning for that s c than the explanation usually given. students of the inner side of man fs constitution and of oriental occultism are aware that there are seven great force-centres (called in sanskrit chakras) in the human body, and that in the course of occult progress all of them have to be opened, developed and made effective. 379. there are many methods of psychic development, some of which commence with the opening of one centre and some with another; but in the scheme advocated in ancient egypt and continued in freemasonry the centre indicated by that s c is taken first. so when the freem

rent correspondences, and a host of other attributes that are specific to the cultural roots of each system. whereas the chakras are located along the spine and are linked to the endocrine glands and nerve centers, the sephiroth have little correspondence with the inner organs and are located on the midline of the body. the colors assigned to the sephroth are also much different from those of the chakras.2 furthermore, the chakras are activated from the lowest to the highest, the exact opposite of the western system in which the highest is always invoked first. in many ways, the middle pillar exercise is a much safer practice than the eastern techruque of activating the chakras through kundalini yoga, which requires a competent instructor to teach it properly. in kundalini yoga, it is poss

network of minute conduits or canals known as nadis. this psycho-physical circuitry is often called the "subtle body."3 in yoga the physical body is refined not simply for its own sake, but in order that it may serve the subtle body. the main nadi or conduit is called the sushumna, which runs from the bottom of the spine to the top of the cranium. along its length the sushumna connects the seven chakras or main energy centers. many more chakras are said to exist within the body, but all are governed by the primary seven. the two other important nadis are known as the ida and the pingala. they start at the base of the spine and wind around the sushumna like strands of dna. the ida ends at the left nostril and is associated with the moon and the left side of the body. the pingala terminates

the right side of the body. these two nadis take in prana from the surrounding environment, and they are important to the practice of pranayama or the discipline of breath control. the ability to control breathing is equated with the ability to control the amount of prana retained in the body. in this way the revitalizing prana energy can be fully utilized to the benefit of the practitioner. the chakras the chakras("wheels" or "lotus flowers) are power centers within the aura that correspond to certain glands or organs in the body. they are reservoirs of vibrant energy-psychic sense organs where prana energy is concentrated in the human body. they can be described as spinning wl-urlpools of energy that exist at certain crossroads where mind and body or spirit and matter, meet. these cente

i- tated upon each thursday, then thursday would become the day of helios for the magus. however, since the mind is so strongly governed by habit, it is useful to make habit work for the magus rather than to fight against it. in the human body, the microcosm, the planetary forces are represented by seven imaginary centers located along the axis of the spine. in the east these cen- ters are called chakras. they are found, roughly speaking, at the crown of the head, on the brow between and slightly above the eyes, at the pit of the throat, in the cen- ter of the chest near the heart, at the solar plexus, in the pit of the stomach just below the navel, and at the perineum. depending on which of these centers the magus chooses to consider as the point of self, his or her personal universe will

on the brow between and slightly above the eyes, at the pit of the throat, in the cen- ter of the chest near the heart, at the solar plexus, in the pit of the stomach just below the navel, and at the perineum. depending on which of these centers the magus chooses to consider as the point of self, his or her personal universe will be colored and influenced by a certain bias of forces. none of the chakras is the true point of self-r rather, all lie within the self and exist at different circles of being. through the intellectual trick of spreading the chakras along the spinal column, the magus is able to experience each as a separate essence, rather than mingled together as is usually the case. since the perceived body is an illusion created by the self-and the self is all- once he or she h

hin the body. this is just what modern society has done in believing human awareness resides in the head. the ancients believed the soul lay in the liver. in tibet the unenlightened believe the point of awareness rests in the heart. all opinions are correct, all are incomplete. the self exists throughout all perceived forms, for it can know nothing beyond what it is. it may help to understand the chakras by relating them graphically to the sephiroth of the kabbalistic tree. the tree is made up of ten sephiroth, or ema- nations of the unmanifest, arranged in three columns. if the columns are united, the right and left being drawn together to overlap in the center, the result is seven spheres of reality that correspond to the seven chakras along the spine: 0 kether a@ crown 0+ 0 chokmahibina

tion of the practical from the abstract can prove difficult even for those with prior experience in ritual magic. beginners find it impossible. they do not know where to start, and are bewildered by the sheer mass of information that confronts them. they are told to draw a pentagram, or project a circle, or raise a cone of power, or ground and center themselves, or charge an object, or open their chakras, or invoke the light, but are seldom instructed in simple steps how to do these things. the practical directions found in most texts on magic, even in the very best, are woefully inadequate. htuals are set forth in the form of skeletal outlines. while these outlines may serve as useful reminders to those who already know the rituals, they are insufficient for the larger percentage of reade

completely ignored it in his own writings on sexual magic -156- moreover, in the few places where he does discuss tantric practices, crowley frequently either misunderstands or simply reinterprets them for his own purposes. for example, most tantric traditions use a form of physical discipline known as kundalini yoga. according to the kundalini system, there are a series of seven energy centers (chakras) located along the axis of the spinal column. at the base of these lies the great goddess as power (shakti) hidden in the human body, which is imagined in the form of a coiled serpent (kundalini. the aim of kundalini yoga is to awaken this serpent power and to raise it through the seven energy centers where it will ultimately be united with the supreme masculine principle, the god, shiva

ody, which is imagined in the form of a coiled serpent (kundalini. the aim of kundalini yoga is to awaken this serpent power and to raise it through the seven energy centers where it will ultimately be united with the supreme masculine principle, the god, shiva, who is imagined as dwelling in a thousand-petalled lotus at the top of the head. crowley more or less accepts this basic system of seven chakras and the serpent power; yet, quite remarkably, he also adds a special set of lower chakras located beneath the lowest energy center (the muladhara or root, in the regions of the anus, the prostate gland (or urethra-cervix region in the female) and the base of the penis (or clitoris in the female. in other words, he has added a series of sub-chakras that are explicitly associated with the se

health. the late swiss scientist dr. hans jenny and his co-workers have been using sound frequencies in physical regeneration of certain organs of the body. at the turn of this century, the great christian qabalist dr. paul foster case said that in the future, humankind would re-discover the ancient pythagorean principles of healing through sound and color, and advised meditation on the planetary chakras in the body (which each have a different color) for maintenance of a healthy etheric body. the wonder-working pythagoreans also applied their understanding of number to astronomy, devising a system of nine concentric circles or spheres to represent the heavenly bodies. soon it came to be understood that the relationships existing in these heavenly planets had direct counterparts within the
