the mathematical aspect of nothing (including its identical equation in logic) this i worked out so long ago as 1902 e.g. in berashith, which you will find reprinted in the sword of song, and in my collected works, vol. i. the argument may be summarized as follows. when, in the ordinary way of business, we write 0, we should really write 0n23. for 0 implies that the subject is not extended in any dimension under discussion. thus a line may be two feet in length, but in magic without tears get any book for free on: www.abika.com 73 breadth and depth the coefficient is zero. we could describe it as 2f+ 0b+ 0d, or n2f+ 0b+ 0d. what i proposed in considering "what do we mean by nothing" was to consider every possible quality of any object as a dimension. for instance, one might describe this p

sitivity of the race to impression is a cause of rejoicing and of danger. all over the world aspirants are registering contacts hitherto unknown, are seeing a phenomenal world usually hidden to them, and are generally becoming aware of an expansion of consciousness. they are registering a world of phenomena often astral, sometimes mental, and occasionally egoic which does initiate them into a new dimension of consciousness and into a different state of being. this expansion of consciousness serves both to encourage them in their endeavour and to complicate the way of the aspirant. this growing sensitivity is universal; hence the rapid growth of spiritualism and of the psychic sciences, and hence also the increase among men of nervous tension, of neurotic conditions, and of the greatly incr

in man has been gradual and slow, but at certain points in racial history (as in the history of the individual man) critical moments have been reached, and crises have emerged and have been transcended, each definite initiation leaving the race with an expanded understanding. today mankind is being prepared for just such a transition, and for the refocussing of the human consciousness in a higher dimension and in a richer field of experience. humanity is ready to step on to a higher rung of the evolutionary ladder. faced with a situation so peculiar and an experience so unparalleled, our present chaotic bewilderment need cause no surprise. we are trembling on the verge of another step forward; we are ready for another initiation; we are on the point of widening our horizon, and passing thr

s it. discrimination is needed to recognize its existence; patience, to discover its lair; humility, to bring slimy fragments of the subconscious to the surface, and expose them to the light of wisdom. as long as hercules fought in the bog, amid the mud, slime, and quicksand, he was unable to overcome the hydra. he had to raise the monster into the air; that is, translate his problem into another dimension, in order to solve it. in all humility, kneeling in the mud, he had to examine his dilemma in the light of wisdom and in the elevated atmosphere of searching [144] thought. from these considerations we may gather that the answers to many of our problems come only when a new focus of attention is achieved, a new perspective established. one of the hydra's heads is immortal, we are told. t

chnique brings the unsavory data of repressed impulses to the surface, it is true, but often stops at that point. the individual realizes that a monster lies concealed in the subterranean areas of consciousness, yet feels baffled and bewildered in trying to deal with this formidable enemy. hercules invokes a brighter light than that of the analyzing mind. he seeks to raise his problem to a higher dimension, not to stir endlessly in the slough of the subconscious. endeavoring to see his dilemma in the light of that wisdom which we name the soul, he confronts it from a new angle of vision. by so doing, he breaks the hydra's grip, and eventually subdues the beast. fighting the hydra: modern version a consideration of the nine problems that confront the person in this day and age who seeks to

och speak of seeing many heavens when they were 'taken up; this corresponds with the stories in the vedas, the ancient holy books of india which were written in the original sanskrit language. these describe seven higher planes and seven lower planes around this planet. some people still talk of being in 'seventh heaven' when something wonderful happens to them. one of these 'planes' is our third dimension and just above us vibrationally is the level which has manipulated us. in the book of enoch, the 'watchers' sound remarkably like extraterrestrials. the dead sea scrolls say that the father of noah was a 'watcher, and nebuchadnezzar, the king of babylon from 651-604bc, records being visited by a watcher and a holy one who came down from heaven.4 the dakas in mahayana buddhism were 'sky t

them a dogmatic religion or some other form of rigid dogma. they are then putty in your hands. i think the takeover of planet earth was achieved by what i call the luciferic consciousness. i use this as an overall name to describe the force which attempts to work through all life forms, human and extraterrestrial, to control the planet. it is an extremely negative energy operating from the fourth dimension. the luciferic consciousness takes two main forms. different cultures give these forms different symbolic names. one seeks to imprison us in the material world by persuading us to reject all idea of the spiritual realms and the eternal nature of life. the other works on spiritually-minded people to persuade them to ignore the realities of the physical world and to float around in a spiri

otential are light years apart, as we are going to realise in the amazing years that are to follow. if, therefore, there is a frequency 'net' thrown around this planet, a blocking, imprisoning vibration, which prevents us from interconnecting with the higher levels of our consciousness and potential, we cease to be 'whole. we become delinked from 'the father. with the knowledge held on the fourth dimension, this would not be the miracle it might at first appear. blocking frequencies are already used here on earth, never mind by more technologically advanced civilisations. during the period of the soviet union, they created an information prison by sending out blocking frequencies to stop certain foreign radio stations from being received by the population. this prevented information which

d down for positive reasons, to prevent more negative extraterrestrials from entering this space-time reality. there are lots of maybes and so much more to know and understand. jamming frequency, closing the dimensional gateways, perhaps both- the precise cause of the prison doesn't matter for what i am saying in this book. all we need to remember is that an extraterrestrial force from the fourth dimension created an information prison by blocking off the higher levels of human consciousness. the veil came down. a veil of tears. we were, in effect, put into spiritual and mental quarantine. if such a jamming vibration were thrown around our planet, or even the solar system and further afield, our potential would be confined to the levels of consciousness which are within the imprisoning fre

other theme which connects channelled information from many sources purporting to be extraterrestrial civilisations and the symbolic stories in the ancient texts and legends across thousands of years, is that of a war in the heavens, possibly a war between extraterrestrial civilisations for control of this galaxy. i feel this relates to the struggle between two consciousness streams on the fourth dimension, for the control of this one. lemuria was the creation of one of these streams, atlantis the work of the other. it has been a long and bitter battle with humanity as the pawns in the middle. the indian vedas contain stories that could easily describe a high tech battle in the skies. those who are more evolved technologically do not have to be more evolved spiritually. the development of

orking through our consciousness from other dimensions. i believe there came a period after ancient babylon and egypt when, for some reason, they no longer came here in the same way. maybe they were forced out by other extraterrestrials who were trying to help us. maybe it was vibratory changes that took place. either way, i believe they began to work mostly through the human mind from the fourth dimension and that this has replaced the physical occupation of the distant past. i have no doubt they have still come here, however, and in increasing numbers in more recent times. the lord of the rings by j.r. tolkien, has themes of war between the humanlike hobbits and the little grey orcs which many believe resemble the themes of what has actually happened, even down to the descriptions of sub

p stations within a defined bandwidth at any given time. i feel that the civilisation we call atlantis was an attempt- by what i call (in the robots' rebellion) the 'volunteers, and bringers of the dawn calls the family of light and the systems busters- to break the vibratory stronghold, the blocking vibration. these volunteers were mostly from the more positive consciousness stream on the fourth dimension. it was an influx of beings into the prison, the box, attempting to change the earth vibration and break the controlling frequency. it was, for a time, a partial success, but atlantis became a highly negative place under influence from the luciferic stream and it suffered a violent end. we, the generations of today, now have the opportunity to do what atlantis could not do- break the blo

more positively motivated nordic extraterrestrials fled from atlantis to the himalayas and have operated from there ever since.2 certainly there are many legends in that region of the world of tall, blue-eyed, blond-haired "supermen" living under the ground or within mountains, very much along the lines of that american pilot's experience. many of these entities may not even be of our density or dimension. as i've outlined, creation consists of infinite dimensions of life vibrating at different speeds. some beings know how to change their frequency range and dip between these dimensions, appearing and "disappearing" as they move between frequencies, much like a radio dial. this is why people have reported seeing entities "disappear" before their eyes. they have not, in fact "disappeared"

nd that makes them very efficient in creating and using technology. the computer is a very good example of the reptilian mind at work. it operates very efficiently up to a point, but it does not have emotion and is therefore limited in its possibilities. it is the same with these reptilian manipulators. they cannot evolve without developing emotionally and they want the dna of those who have that dimension of self. for some reason, the nordics' genetic code is most important to them. also, without the balance of emotion, the reptilian mind can do the most horrendous atrocities to others without feeling any compassion for their victims. this is how the illuminati can manipulate wars that kill and maim tens of millions while being emotionally detached from the consequences for others of thei

kground presented in those tablets is confirmed by modern experience and rapidly emerging information from the inside of the illuminati. some examples follow "forth came they into this cycle, formless were they, of another vibration, existing unseen by the children of earth-men" as my research has revealed, the world is controlled by entities taking reptilian and other forms that exist on another dimension or "cycle. we are in the third dimension or density, they operate from the fourth, a frequency just outside the present range of the physical senses. we can feel the fourth density as "vibes" around us, but we cannot see it, unless we tune in with our "psychic" sight, which can connect our consciousness with other vibrational levels. this is what psychics or "channellers" are seeking to

ge to engage in some human abductions. but the main controlcomes by outright possession. the crossbreeding programme (via sex and test tube) isdescribed in the sumerian tablets and the old testament (the sons of god whointerbred with the daughters of men. these hybrid human-reptile lines carry thereptilian genetic code and thus can be far more easily possessed by the reptilians ofthe lower fourth dimension. as we shall see, these bloodlines became the british andeuropean aristocracy and royal families and, thanks to the great british empire,they were exported across the world to rule the americas, africa, asia, australia,new zealand and so on. these genetic lines are manipulated into the positions ofpolitical, military, media, banking and business power and thus these positions areheld by

only at the three-dimensional level of existence. if we judge possibility, as we do, only by what we seeon one little planet in one little solar system, our range of perception, imagination andvision will be so microscopic that an understanding of what is really happening to thisworld will be impossible. to that level of thinking the idea that a reptile race iscontrolling the planet from another dimension will be so far out as to beincomprehensible. that is the way the vast majority will, at first, receive theinformation in this book, but the appreciation of the reptilian connection is growingamong researchers who are interested in the truth and not just concerned with defendinga belief system or looking for public approval.in a remarkable period of 15 days as i travelled around the unite

life, culminating in the awareness that the individual partakes of the divine nature. mysticism has been identified with pantheism by some authorities, and many pantheists have been mystics. however, mysticism is not tied to any particular philosophical or theological perspective. mysticism tends to differ from public religion, which emphasizes a worshipful submission to the deity and the ethical dimension of life, while mysticism strains after the realization of a personal union with the divine source itself. the mystic desires to be as close to god as possible, part of the divine essence itself, whereas the ordinary devotee of most religious systems merely desires to walk in god s way and obey his will. historical survey mysticism has emerged as a strain in all of the major religious sys

ns of paranormal phenomena. at a secular level, psychical researchers and parapsychologists have attempted to bring scientific method into the investigation of claims of the paranormal, attempting to extract the paranormal subject from any religious context. such scientific endeavors may in many ways be an essential step in the learning process, but sometimes tend to bypass the possible religious dimension and ignore the broader aspects of the meaning and purpose of life and the interpretation of natural phenomena. the clinical atmosphere of a parapsychology laboratory, with its scientific controls, specialized jargon, and mathematical evaluation, as has been repeatedly noted, tends to remove the paranormal from a natural setting. sources: crow, w. b. a history of magic, witchcraft, and oc

GNOSTIC HANDBOOK

buting to the enlargement of the imagination and the possible development of that most and excellent gift of modesty among the superior races of solid humanity preface to flatland if we for a moment accept the reality of the great chain of being, then we can theorise that the universe is multi-dimensional and has many levels of existence. if we consider this for a moment and ponder how "real" our dimension seems to us, then perhaps other levels would be perceived as concrete and real as our own from within their own vantage-point. this very concept was the basis of a fascinating story written by edwin.a.abbott in 1884 called "flatland. originally published under the pseudonym of mr.a.square, it was found to be the work of an english clergyman and shakespearean scholar, whose fascination wi

tale illustrates the hypothesis of other dimensions, if we attempt to translate a cube into two dimensions we know that what we arrive at, is nothing but a reflection or an approximation. we know that in a cube all lines are of the same length, yet, in a two dimensional representation, the length of the lines seem to vary. according to modern geometry if we take a cube and apply it into a further dimension we arrive at what is known as a "tesseract. this cannot be illustrated as it exists in four dimensions, all we can see is its reflection as a cube inside a cube. theoretically, however, we know it exists! giving some consideration to this tale we may begin to hypothesise about various planes, dimensions, worlds or orders of existence. if we project our cube into higher dimensions, we can

sider 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 perceived as concrete and real as our own from from within their own vantagepoint. this very concept was the basis of a fascinating story written by edwin.a.abbott in 1884 called flatland. originally published under the pseudonym of mr.a.square, it was found to be the work of an english clergyman and shakespearean sc

ntities live in a diverse world of squares, triangles, circles as well as many other nationalities. they live in a world much like our own, except for one thing, they are flat. imagine one day mr.square enters his flat home, walks across to his flat lounge and sits down (however that is possible in two dimensions) and begins to read an even flatter book. suddenly a voice comes to him from another dimension, this voice is actually coming from mr.jones, a traveller from the dimension of up, but mr.square does not know this. mr.square cannot see him because up does not exist for mr.square, all he experiences is a loud bellowing, but disembodied voice. mr.square, by now obviously terrified, demands that this being makes himself known to him. mr.jones with the aim to oblige and enter into inter

e decides he is either quite mad or that he has had a little too much to drink from his flat bottle of gin. mr.jones is not happy, he does not like to be thought of as a weird and disjointed collection of lines and points. he grasps mr.square on his two dimensional shirt and lifts him into the air. mr.square is ecstatic and very confused, where is he? he has no gnostic theurgy page 26 idea of the dimension of up and hence cannot understand the experience, as he begins to hover above the ground he see his friends below, but they cannot see him. however, as he returns to his two-dimensional world, at the moment of contact he re-appears, seemingly out of nowhere. he tries to explain but how can they understand dimensions beyond their two dimensional perception? this tale illustrates the hypot

tale illustrates the hypothesis of other dimensions, if we attempt to translate a cube into two dimensions we know that what we arrive at, is nothing but a reflection or an approximation. we know that in a cube all lines are of the same length, yet, in a two dimensional representation, the length of the lines seem to vary. according to modern geometry if we take a cube and apply it into a further dimension we arrive at what is known as a tesseract. this cannot be illustrated as it exists in four dimensions, all we can see is its reflection as a cube inside a cube. theoretically, however, we know it exists! giving some consideration to this tale we may begin to hypothesise about various planes, dimensions, worlds or orders of existence. if we project our cube into higher dimensions, we can

as outmoded, gnostic theurgy page 27 they can still be interpreted as symbolic of other life streams which operate within these alternate realities. to get a more comprehensive picture we should discuss each plane in detail. the divine plane this is the point of origin, the matrix from which all universal systems evolve. it is the plane of kether in the kabbalah and on a more tangible level, the dimension from which the source of light originates. this is the goal for those on the celestial path. the seven planes. four worlds traditional lifeforms (rosicrucian (kabbalah. divine plane. atziluth. source of all light. plane of virgin spirits. atziluth. gods. plane of divine spirit. briah. arch angels. plane of life spirit. briah. arch angels. plane of thought. yetzirah. angels. desire plane

. hans jonas. beacon press, 1963. gnostic theurgy page 36 the early gnostics understood the world in terms of the alpha event, or in more religious terms, the fall of man, and accordingly divided reality into two distinct realms. to understand this relevance of this division we have to consider various issues. before this event, man was in communication with the pleroma and existed in a spiritual dimension where there was no death and suffering. at this stage the particles of light were in union with spirit for there was no conflict. after the alpha event, all this changed, the lower worlds were decimated and man was banished to a world of matter. this is how death and suffering entered the system. mankind lost communication with the higher spiritual principles and descended into the coils

s. these archons have great power, which extends from the astral shield surrounding the earth far into the spiritual dimensions. the lower world even attempts to duplicate the higher spiritual planes within its own fallen astral realities, offering a false kingdom for the unwary. a superb description of these false seven planes is found in the gnostic gospel of mary, where we read about the inner dimension of the fourth power, or in our terms the four elements. when the soul had overcome the third power, it went upwards and saw the fourth power which took seven forms. the first form is darkness, the second desire, the third ignorance, the fourth is the excitement of death, the fifth is the kingdom of the flesh, the sixth is the foolish wisdom of the flesh and the seventh is the wrathful wi

matrix varies depending on the level we are discussing, but is generally related to the brain-mind complex. as these energies are received, they are filtered by the programs inherent within the brain-mind and distributed through a variety of spectrums or septenary systems. for example, on the physical level there are seven brain-circuits and seven phases of the endocrine system. on the spiritual dimension gnostic theurgy page 44 man has seven chakras or psychic centres and seven levels of consciousness. probably most important of all is the seven bodies or dimensions of man s nature. each of these systems influence the others and each is influenced by the variants within the energies received and variants within the matrix. as the brain-mind complex forms the matrix within the human syste

n his very own creation the keys to man s liberation and the demiurge s downfall. gnostic theurgy page 59 some conclusions when we examine the cycle of eternal re-occurrence and the nature of transfiguration, we can see how wrong traditional views of reincarnation are. reincarnation is not some carefully graded developmental process, but an opportunity to escape the lower worlds, to return to the dimension where real evolution takes place. luckily for us, there is a knowledge, a wisdom, a gnosis. a knowledge that can awaken us to the falseness of our everyday masks and personas, and assist in the process of breaking free to become what we really are. this transformation is never easy. to go beyond everything that exists in the lower worlds takes a special awareness, a special will and that

ver, this is not exact. a distinction must be made between faith, belief, and knowledge. the mystic should have no beliefs, but rather knowledge; his knowledge may create faith or give him faith in certain laws and principles, but it would supplant belief. therefore, we may say that faith is an expression of confidence, and confidence is born only from experience .knowledge.(see knowledge. fourth dimension.from the rosicrucian viewpoint there is nothing mysterious about the fourth dimension. two points should be remembered: it is a dimension and it is the fourth. the other three dimensions are length, breadth, and thickness. each of these is expressible by numbers.whole, fractions, or decimals. each of these three dimensions, when expressed in numbers, helps us to have an objective realiza

ently as these three dimensions express a thing to our consciousness there are essential elements still missing in the expression.one or more attributes or qualities lacking. what is the nature of the above thing that is 100 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm? is it wood, or iron, or stone? what is its weight, its color? is it hard or soft? we say that all these questions can be answered by expressing the fourth dimension, and expressing it in numerals as the other three are expressed. in this case, as an example, the figures 100 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm/12.0147 (a specific gravity figure would mean that the thing referred to was a piece of south american (not any other kind) mahogany, with a color equivalent to a certain line in the sun's spectrum, and having a specific gravity, a certain degree of hardness, t

express the nature and attributes of all things made manifest on the objective plane. likewise one would be able to determine what fourth dimension would neutralize or combine with another. the fourth dimension is nothing more nor less than the rate of electronic vibration. all qualities and attributes manifested by all material things result from this rate. from another point of view the fourth dimension should really be the first. it is the projection from cosmic space into the worldly, material plane of manifestation of all material things. such projection is the first phase of manifestation. the coming together of "electrons" into atoms, and from this into molecular formation, constitutes the first phase of creation into the material world of objectivity. the next step or phase is tha

into atoms, and from this into molecular formation, constitutes the first phase of creation into the material world of objectivity. the next step or phase is that of limitation, or form, caused by natural laws or by man's desires and handiwork. hence the three dimensions of length, breadth, and thickness should follow dimensions of objective proportion, which is a more correct term for the fourth dimension. mystics will see, now, why the fourth dimension, in its true nature, has always interested the philosophers and was one of the laws carefully studied and utilized by the alchemists of old, and the advanced mystics of today use the law in many strange manifestations. this rosicrucian concept differs from the fourth-dimensional continuum of space-time as advocated in the theory of relativ

choosing the questions to be asked, you always have to consider that the beings you are contacting are subject to laws different from those we have to deal with on this physical plane. besides, beings that have been living before on this earth will soon lose their orientation because our physical plane is tri-dimensional, depending on time and space which does not occur i the sphere of the fourth dimension. only highly developed beings are capable of giving correct information about time, events, future, etc. consequently the magician will first inquire about the home of those beings and rather prefer messages about the fourth dimension for the sake of his own education. later on, as soon as the scholar has developed his spiritual senses, he will no longer need the passive communication wi

adhesion with the creator. yet, what does the word adhesion mean? indeed, because of the limits of time, a three-dimensional space, and bodily desires, our thoughts cannot grasp the creator. therefore, as long our thoughts are bound by these limits, we cannot be objective. as we transcend our egos, the will to receive and the definitions of time, space, and motion change. they acquire a spiritual dimension. in that state, we control our will to receive and are not governed by it. therefore, our thoughts do not depend on the will to receive, and hence are objective. as a result, kabbalah offers the attainment of equivalence of properties and actions with the creator as a means of nearing him. it says: merge with his actions; be as kind, caring, and as humble as he. yet, how can one be sure

lah. only the study of the kabbalah extends the light that brings happiness and bliss to our world! i recommend that you read the introduction to the book of zohar by baal hasulam. t h e pa s s i n g o f a k a b b a l i s t q: when a kabbalist dies, who takes his place? a: you will not be able to understand the meaning of the connection of a kabbalist with eternity, with the creator, and with his dimension of existence, but i will try to answer you just the same. the creator is the one who places the kabbalist in this world, and when there is a need, he replaces him and puts another in his place. the creator does not do this because the previous kabbalist didn t do enough, or grew old, but because each soul performs only the task it is assigned, and cannot perform other tasks. the creator

also to kabbalists. the kabbalist cannot fly in the air like a sorcerer, or perform other unnatural operations, and he can get sick, like any other person. the world gets it wrong because it doesn t feel what a soul really is, and so it searches for spirituality in matter, or searches for connection with the matter. a kabbalist need not do anything external, because spirituality is in a different dimension. the link with spirituality happens through inner contact. nothing in our world is directly connected with the upper one. the characteristics of this world are no more than signs that there is no spirituality in them! man finds spirituality through his soul, which is a part of the upper world. if he feels it, he finds a link (spiritual coupling) with the upper world, with the creator. i

ave divided the universe differs, but there is general agreement regarding the function, and nature of the separate worlds. the concepts of heaven and hell are usually thought of as exclusively christian, but this is far from the truth. every religion and mythology out there makes reference to the heavens, the earth, and the underworld. in regards to the heavens, it is often described as an extra dimension that does indeed have the semblance of space and time. satan and the angels, for instance, are spoke of as approaching the throne of god, as if there were a way to be in heaven, but not in the presence of the throne. this is important because it describes a lack of unity where, like in our material world, objects can be closer or farther from other objects. obviously, there is some form

the highest trances can the nature of these truths be realized. it is indeed a suprarational experience not dissimilar to those characteristic of the "star-sponge" vision previously described that can help us here. the trouble is that the truth itself is unfitted to the dualistic reason of 'normal' mankind. hadit seems to be the principle of motion which is everywhere, yet is not extended in any dimension except as it chances to combine with the 'matter' which is nuit. there can evidently be no manifestation apart from this conjunction. a "khabs" or star is apparently any nucleus where this conjunction has taken place. the real philosophical difficulty about this cosmogony is not concerned with any particular equation, or even with the original equation. we can understand x=ab, x=a,b,&c;

a sandal-strap, implying the power to go; and it suggests the rosy cross, the fulfilment of love, by its shape. the wheel and the circle are evidently symbols of nuit; this sentence insists upon the conception of lingam-yoni. but beyond the obvious relation, we observe two geometrical definitions. the axle is a cylinder set perpendicularly to the plane of the wheel; thus hadit supplies the third dimension to nuit. it suggests that matter is to be conceived as two-dimensional; that is, perhaps, as possessed of two qualities, extension and potentiality. to these hadit brings motion and position. the wheel moves; manifestation now is possible. its perception implies three-dimensional space, and time. but note that the mover is himself not moved. the 'cube in the circle' emphasizes this quest

that we know that the path to true, holy self-refinement is a long, hard, and tedious one. evil plays on and capitalizes on our divine imperative and our impatience and frustration over how long it takes us to make real progress. hence, rabbi shalom dovber said that anyone who has never fallen for this ruse in some way.even if only in a very abstract, refined way.cannot really relate to the inner dimension of the torah. this is because the inner 7 genesis 6:7. 8 ibid.11:5. 9 likutei torah (arizal) on ezekiel, s.v. vesod. the arizal on parashat shemot 225 dimension of the torah addresses not the do fs and don fts that the revealed dimension of the torah addresses, but the more profound issues in life, such as gwhat is the meaning of life h and gwhy is there suffering in the world, h etc. if

cribe magic and condemn its mysteries to the flames and to oblivion. the reason is that each religion or philosophy which comes into the world is a benjamin of humanity and insures its own life by destroying its mother. it is because the symbolical serpent turns ever devouring its own tail; it is because, as essential condition of existence, a void is necessary to every plenitude, space for every dimension, an affirmation for each negation: herein is the eternal realization of the phoenix allegory. two illustrious scholars have preceded me along the path that i am travelling, but they have, so to speak, spent the dark night therein. i refer to volney and dupuis, to dupuis above all, whose immense erudition produced only a negative work, for in the origin of all religions he saw nothing but

rpent's tail, and in turning about upon himself, he, at the same time, flies and pursues himself. woman is the creation of man, and universal creation is the bride of the first principle. when the supreme being became a creator, he erected a jod or a phallus, and to provide a place in the fullness of the uncreated light, it was necessary to hollow out a cteis or trench of shadow equivalent to the dimension determined by his creative desire, and attributed by him to the ideal jod of the radiating light. such is the mysterious language of the kabalists in the talmud, and on account of vulgar ignorance and malignity, it is impossible for us to explain or simplify it further. what then is creation? it is the house of the creative word. what is the cteis? it is the house of the phallus. what is

o rational thought. he argued from a metaphysical standpoint, but regarded his concepts as reaching right through into manifestation, into personal and collective experience. he preface xiv frequently emphasized the presence of a fragmentary but coherent world-view held by both the gaelic seers and the inhabitants of that secret commonwealth which they perceived. the reality of this otherworld or dimension was accepted by the celts, and indeed by kirk himself. a re-evaluation of kirk, based upon his own comments and perceptions in addition to related individual items of folklore or belief, is long overdue. when we approach his work in this manner, we find it in keeping with the perennial mystical and magical/psychological traditions of the world. furthermore it offers firm historical evide

es and examples, but from biblical evidence (carefully cited in chapter and verse, and classical precedent. there is also more than a hint that kirk, as an episcopalian minister albeit superficially politically reformed by a mainly presbyterian dominance in scotland, sought to counter some of the repressive bloodthirsty attitudes of christian religious extremism. he felt that his proof of another dimension and its inhabitants might lead to a more civilized and truly christian accommodation of other people's beliefs. in this sense the secret commonwealth is not only an unusual text, but probably a very daring one. kirk's arguments are so well reasoned and go supported by biblical precedents that it would have been difficult to accuse him of witchcraft or overt paganism, yet he steers very c

well and there she found his steed standing but away was himself. this duality occurs again in verses where tam lin and janet make love, during which she 'falls in a mist' and her lover is both present and 'away. in several variants of the story, tam lin is enchanted at or by a magical well. his horse may be found by the well as a sign or totem symbol of his presence, but he is present in another dimension, that of elfland, fairyland, the otherworld or under world. he is summoned by the pulling of roses, and it should be noted in this context that appendix 3: the ballad of tam lin 131 plants and trees are the routes whereby spirits are enabled to return to the womb for rebirth, in primal tradition. 6. janet becomes pregnant despite tam lin's seeming insubstantiality, janet 'goes with child

is the true aim and function of the tradition. it would not be too daring to suggest that tam lin and thomas may be taken sequentially for magical purposes. the first ballad represents either a human male-female ritual operation and developed mystery or the action of divine intervention through the cycles of the wheel. the second ballad represents this same use of polarities removed into an inner dimension, where the love-exchange occurs between the initiate and the inner world entity; through which love the divine redemption is activated. the process described in thomas, therefore, may be said to be a more advanced or developed means of achieving the liberation. indeed, according to the laws of magic, tam lin, in his liberated form, has left a wrathful fairy queen behind in elfland, and h

ophical approach to the questions and issues of astrology, that comes close to being an exception to that generalization. that exception is found in his use of the term "transpersonal" not only in regard to his approach to astrology but to philosophy in general. his thinking is that it is not enough to seek or strive for the most noble expression of man, but that we are capable of a transpersonal dimension based on the recognition and development of a "divine seed" within us. selfintegration, as a specifically setian life process and the fluid, evolutionary product of xeper, includes all of those processes within the normal realm of personality development, plus those aspects discovered within the spiritual odyssey of the setian. the latter takes its raison d'etre from the normal and munda

ehind these senses instead of an egoistic one, we would be able to retrieve completely different information with the exact same senses. that would have been the picture of the next world, or the spiritual world. but while being in the spiritual world, we would still be able to see the picture of our own world, because we do not stop living in this world, we do not leave into a different physical dimension, only add the collective picture to our perception of this world. we begin to understand the reasons and the consequences to every thing that happens to us, distinguish the spiritual forces behind the physical bodies in our world. one who is in the spiritual world begins to see the roots that influence reality, formulate the events of this world, and finally, begins to see and understand

or the world around us. if i ask of you, for example, to describe to me something that is like nothing that exists in our world, as though a creature from another world, you will still comprise it from elements that exist in our world. though our space is only a substance we can feel in a certain manner, there are other worlds and other creatures that we cannot feel though they exist in the same dimension as we do. i am deliberately using the term dimension, in our limited understanding, to demonstrate how incapable we are of feeling what our sensory organs are not meant to understand. in fact, even the dimension is meaningless. in a different sensation the dimension also becomes something completely different. for example, if you try to imagine what we would see instead of the ordinary u

erties of the soul are corrected to altruism under the influence of the upper light. people that have been through a clinical death experience feel a certain measure of this upper light. afterwards they speak of a sensation of fantastic peace and joy, a heavenly feeling. the gradual filling of this emptiness brings all the souls to the degree of the end of correction and completeness. there is no dimension of time in the upper world. it vanishes because all the situations are complete. in the stories of the torah the division to certain times is also absent and every story is related to another only by an order of cause and effect. for that reason we can see that adam who was created on the sixth day lived only a few hours before he sinned and fell to the lower world, and along the whole w

of kabbalah is that it teaches how to create within him the right intent when he performs the mitzvot. kabbalah adds the spiritual aim to the mechanical act, but it by no means negate the physical performance of mitzvot. the purpose of creation is not to fly into the spiritual world, but feel the spiritual worlds by means of our world and be in all of them at the same time by adding the spiritual dimension to the mechanical operations we perform. q: what does it mean to fully keep the mitzvot? a: a complete performance of a mitzva means keeping it at its root. in other words, it is the ascent to the degree from which the mitzva, the spiritual property came, using the corrected properties. the ascent to the spiritual degree means that the vessel of the soul must be emptied from its previous

nifest lacks all qualities, induding mistiness and gray- ness, and its inhabitants (if it could be said to have any) are without form or duration. by its very nature the unmanifest is inconceivable. any picture or model a philosopher might form of it becomes at once invalid precisely because it has been formed, and therefore no longer represents the formless universe. even fea- tureless space has dimension and exists in time; it is a part of creation and cannot be used to represent the unmanifest. chaos has a secondary connotation, which should not be confused with its pri- mary meaning. it is sometimes said to be the dwelling place of evil because chaos is naturally destructive of order. however, this sense can be misleading. chaos as the region or dimension of formlessness is synonymous

- ings without destroying creation. this is why it is said in the bible that a man cannot look upon the face of god: to do so would bring about his instant annihilation. the creation of the universe did not destroy, change or diminish the unman- ifest. the unmanifest and the manifest can never overlap, but every created thing is composed of both aspects of the all. since the unmanifest is without dimension, it has truly been observed that god dwells within all human beings. but the magi- cal meaning of this is that the totality of god is present in each blade of grass, every speck of dirt-in every form whether beautiful or ugly. indeed, the entirety of the unmanifest is present in each mathematical point in the universe. god is every- where. an arab proverb states "to the pure all things a

what humanity perceives itself to be is touching god-the merest tip of the finger, as the artist michelange- lo portrayed so well in his painting of the creation on the sistine chapel ceiling. the unmanifest must never be thought of as another place. this was the mis- take made so often by the less enlightened of the ancient philosophers and mystics, and it is nonsense. the unmanifest is without dimension or change. it should be thought of as around and within, permeating every atom of the universe but not a part of the material world. it is equally sound to think of it as enfolding all things, or as completely present in every point of every separate thing. part of the problem in understanding may have been the ancient model of the universe as an egg floating on a sea of gray mist. this

alling inward ever closer togeth- er, becoming ever more dense, metaphorically assuming a circular and then a spi- ral direction of travel. this questing inward after fulfillment is known in the kabbalah as the "primal swirlings" and may be pictured as flecks of light dancing in a whirlpool. the tightening spiral coalesced into the first ghmmering of a sense of self-a math- ematical point without dimension or substance. this point gave the perception of the all a vantage from which to consider itself. from this point god could regard the measureless light extending away endlessly in all directions. the eye (or i) that considers must consider something. a second point of necessi- ty at once was born even as the first point came into being. the second point may be thought of as a reflection

ubstance. at the same time, the omniscient awareness of god was resident in the second point, looking back at the first. there is no way to distinguish one point from the other, to call one point the self of god and the other point its reflection. this act of considering an object became a resonating pulse from point to point, a pulse without a period of duration-in other words, a line, the first dimension. again god considered itself in its new aspect, which necessitated the precipitation of a third point of view. from this third point god looked back at the line, its ini- tial awareness of a discrete self reflected in, and reflecting, that self. the second dimension was born, the plane surface, as yet outside of time and space. this is symbolized by the triangle. were the third point to

circle has almost no power. it must be charged by the magus by overlaying it with a mental circle that is always drawn from inside at the center point around the magus and anyone who may be assisting in the ritual working. the magus need not stand at the center, but his or her awareness must reside at the center point while the magic circle is drawn. the most effective magic circles are of human dimension. if they are drawn around a single individual, the radius should be the reach of the arm or the arm coupled with the staff or wand. in wiccan covens a rod is driven into the earth and a sash from a robe is fixed to it, then the circle is inscribed at the extremity of the sash. this is large enough to accommodate the thirteen of the coven. it need hardly be said that if the ritual involve

evils will slip under or over it. often the envelope is imagined as a cylinder extending endlessly up and down; but it is more accurate to conceive it as a sphere the circumference of which is traced by the flaming ring of the astral circle. in some modern practice this sphere of protection is delineated by three cir- cles set perpendicularly to one another, each circle being drawn in one spatial dimension. this is a needless refinement. however, the three interlocking rings are useful for locating the point of self, as will be explained further on. a variation on the magic circle is to limit its scope to the boundaries of the aura. when the magus moves about, the magic circle moves with him or her, there- by eliminating the danger of stepping outside it. this requires great powers of visu

were accidental or arbitrary; on the contrary, the transcendental nature of the truth disclosed necessitated the place and time of the event, that is to say, both when and where the epiphany occurred approximated as much as possible the metaphysical constitution of what was divulged in the physical world. i return subsequently to this theme in the thought of judah loew, with special focus on the dimension of time; noteworthy for the moment is his insistence on the inseparability of space and time. this insight cuts a path that can lead to the depths of the religious sensibility that has informed jewish piety through the generations, an insight enhanced by the philological oddity that the word olam can denote both the spatial measure of the world and the temporal magnitude of eternity. the

his idea in the sources that may have influenced cordovero, but it is necessary to delve more deeply into his representation of time as the secret rotation of the emanations. according to scholem s assessment, in contrast to other kabbalists, who maintained that the concept of time had no application to the process of emanation, cordovero held that this process occurred within nontemporal time, a dimension of time which involved as yet no differentiation into past, present, and future. 106 the full implication of scholem s view can be gleaned from another comment. in support of his (eminently sensible) claim that cosmogony and theogony are two aspects of one continuous reality, the rhythm of creation mirroring the inner movement of divine life, scholem writes: the act which results beyond

, the void of time that engenders the time of void that reverses the sequential pattern of antecedent and corollary. if we were to consider temporality only from the perspective of the corporeal world, then we would have to uphold scholem s point that for kabbalists the realm of emanation is not subject to time. however, there is no reason to be so restricted, as we can plausibly speak of another dimension of temporality, a metaphysical as opposed to physical conception of time that well applies to the eternal;153 indeed, i would go so far as to say that in kabbalistic teaching, time in its primordiality is not extrinsic to god but is the radiance of divine linear circularity (a)temporal poetics 81 becoming recounted in the narratological telling of enumerated iteration. the twofold depict

listic understanding of prayer, david ben yehudah characterizes the liturgical rite as an ascent of the worshipper s will through the sefirotic pleroma to the will that is conjoined with keter. this will is the expression of the infinite potency of ein sof in the ten sefirotic gradations whence it overflows to the chain of being that extends from the angelic to the mundane worlds.224 the mystical dimension of prayer, therefore, entails the contemplative elevation of the will to the source of the will (maqor ha-rason, the dimension of infinity that is manifest in keter. the telos of worship is captured in the words from psalm 19:15, yihyu le-rason imrei fi, may the words of my mouth be acceptable to you, which are part of the meditation recited after the amidah, the traditional standing-pra

al or internal, and that this area is what we call the astral. my own personal belief is that one school of thought necessitates the other. in other words, a person must travel deep within his own psyche before he releases himself in the astral, the internal pressure being so strong that a separation occurs in the astral or emotional body. this body exists within the human body but in a different dimension. it can travel to certain areas and see certain events that exist on our physical, visual level as well. to understand what the astral/emotional body is and what its functions are, one will have to look at subtle body anatomy. the first and main body is the physical body. the second is the etheric body, which resembles a series of road maps; its function is to supply energy to the physic
