lementary and necessary parts of a whole. there are variations on this idea within the teachings of wicca. some traditions consider the goddess to be of greater significance than her male counterpart. others regard them as equal, assuming different aspects according to the season and ritual: she as the earth or moon deity, ruler of the summer months, he as the sun or corn god, ruler of winter and lord of the underworld after his death. along with other nature deities, the horned god became demonised with the advent of christianity, and the goddess was either depicted as a wicked witch or downgraded to the status of a faerie. thus the celtic warrior goddess maeve became the faerie mab, described thus by mercutio in shakespeare's romeo and juliet: she is the fairy's midwife, and she comes in

lity of the lords of the flame, through their enduring sacrifice. man becomes a conscious ego, with the consciousness of the higher self, at the third initiation, through the instrumentality of the masters and of the christ, and through their sacrifice in taking physical incarnation for the helping of the world. man unites with the monad at the fifth initiation, through the instrumentality of the lord of the world, the solitary watcher, the great sacrifice. man becomes one with the logos through the instrumentality of one about whom naught may be said. chapter iii the work of the hierarchy though the subject of the occult hierarchy of the planet is of such a profoundly momentous interest to the average man, yet its real significance will never be understood until men realise three things i

e middle of the lemurian epoch, approximately eighteen million years ago, occurred a great event which signified, among other things, the following developments: the planetary logos of our earth scheme, one of the seven spirits before the throne, took physical incarnation, and, under the form of sanat kumara, the ancient of days, and- 18- initiation, human and solar copyright 1998 lucis trust the lord of the world, came down to this dense physical planet and has remained with us ever since. owing to the extreme purity of his nature, and the fact that he is (from the human standpoint) relatively sinless, and hence incapable of response to aught on the dense physical plane, he was unable to take a dense physical body such as ours, and has to function in his etheric body. he is the greatest o

y path, and with the coming in of the new age and the advent of the christ in due time and in his own place (note the care with which i express this; dogmatic assertions in terms of men's concrete minds are inadvisable) many will find it possible to make the adequate extra effort, entailed in the taking of the first major initiation. they will begin to pass from the fifth to the fourth plane. the lord of fire will achieve his peculiar work for this cycle by arousing the fire of kundalini in the large numbers of those who are ready. this will be begun in this century, and carried forward actively for the next one thousand years. in your work you may later be shown all depends upon your aptitude methods of approach to these dominating forces, but this will come subjectively and not through m

he final liberation is achieved. the mental elemental, the astral elemental and the physical elemental have a definite life of their own which is coloured by the rays upon which these various bodies or elementals have their being, until the man has reached a relatively high point in evolution. the elementals composing the mental body are spoken of in the old commentary in the following terms "the lord of will took being. his dim reflection followed in his steps. the little lord of force manasic appeared on earth. the lord who sought for harmony took form. the little lord, who loved to fight for what he sought, followed with swiftness in his wake. the lord who in this world of ours knew mind and thought, swept into incarnation. he was not, then he was. the little lord of mental stuff also t

itation, for your intuition needs awakening. working without attachment to results is a hard lesson for all disciples to learn but one well worth while. my special instructions for you, therefore, may cause you temporary surprise but later you will see the reason. they are as follows: first, drop all form out of your meditation work and sit in perfect silence with your attention focussed upon the lord of love which is the soul. steady your thought processes (which for- 78- discipleship in the new age- volume i copyright 1998 lucis trust you is not hard) and then drop the use of the seed thought. listen and aspire. close each meditation by pouring out love to all beings. this outflowing thought is a great releaser and each of you in the group of disciples whom i am seeking to train needs re

contact that brings in the integrating force, just as a master, at the centre of his ashram is the integrating, cohesive energy. you can serve in this way with this group of disciples because you have for many years followed the way. you have, therefore, a specific responsibility to the group which you fulfil by holding yourself steadily in the light, by constantly lifting up your heart unto the lord of your life, and by constituting yourself a channel of light and love to your co-disciples. this i ask of you. this is all that i have to say to you today. march 1935 my brother and my friend (for such you have been for many lives, e'en if your present physical brain registers not the fact) the past year has been a hard one for you, as it has necessarily been for all who are sensitive and wh

s towards shamballa. i use that phrase because it connotes something definitely intelligible to you. i seek not to be more explicit, for you will comprehend the significance of what i say. you serve and love your fellowmen because we, the teachers on the inner side also serve and love them; your approach to humanity and to your co-disciples is via those whom you serve upon "the lighted way of the lord of life" you work with human beings and you seek to integrate into this group of mine because i, whom you know and love, have asked you so to do. this is of assistance to you but there must be for you a still greater achievement. as you realise the status of your soul, you must come to the understanding that you serve with us and not simply because you are asked to serve. give to your group b

ould i give you at this time. your one-pointed devotion is known and the powerful vibration of your aspiration is realised. let devotion now be transmuted into an all-embracing love to all beings, so that that love can unfold within its radiation the seen and the unseen, the known and the unknown, the loved and that which needs loving. such is the attitude of consciousness which radiates from the lord of life. watch your physical strength somewhat and live not at so high a tension. relax a little during the coming months and foster those lighter moments of relaxation which give to your soul opportunity to attend to its own affairs upon its own high level. then it can return in greater force and with a more potent vibration to its habitation the threefold personality. this the disciple is a

members of the kingdom of god, the church invisible, the spiritual hierarchy of our planet; it is dependent also upon the steadfastness of the christ's disciples in the world at this time and his initiate-workers all working in the many groups, religious, political and economic. to the above must be added what christians like to call "the inscrutable will of god" that unrecognised purpose of the lord of the world, the ancient of days (as he is called in the old testament) who "knows his own mind, radiates the highest quality of love and focusses his will in his own high place within the centre where the will of god is known" when the christ, the avatar of love, makes his reappearance then will the "sons of men who are now the sons of god withdraw their faces from the shining light and rad

aura. so it is today with the entire problem of ending the world glamour and illusion which fundamentally lie behind the present acute situation and world catastrophe. the possibility of such a dispelling and dissipation is definitely centred in the two avatars, the buddha and the christ. within the world of glamour the world of the astral plane and of the emotions appeared a point of light. the lord of light, the buddha, undertook to focus in himself the illumination which would eventually make possible the dissipation of glamour. within the world of illusion the world of the mental plane appeared the christ, the lord of love himself, who embodied in himself the power of the attractive will of god. he undertook to dispel illusion by drawing to himself (by the potency of love) the hearts

he transient creation and with the outer appearance is maya. it must be remembered that individual maya is a fractional part of the world of energies and forces which constitute the life expression of the planetary logos, which condition our outer planetary life, and make our planet what it appears to be to the other planets. the difference between man, the microcosm, and the planetary logos, the lord of the world, the macrocosm, lies in the fact that the lord of the world is not identified with the maya which he has created, and which has its purpose in eventually bringing about the release of the "prisoners of the planet" to that maya, he is supremely indifferent and it is this divine indifference which has led to the great theological illusion of an anthropomorphic deity and to the beli

he spiritual consciousness by the great divine architect. yet he identifies himself not with the pattern or with the forces which he employs. he moves in the world of maya, free from all illusion, unhindered by glamour and uncontrolled by the mayavic forces. he is rapidly arriving, as far as his own little world is concerned, at the same "divine indifference" which characterises sanat kumara, the lord of the world; therefore increasingly he becomes aware of the plan as it exists in the universal mind and the purpose which motivates the will of god. it is this divine indifference which is responsible for the fact that in attempting to describe "pure being" or god, and in the effort to arrive at some understanding of the nature of divinity, the formula of negation has been evolved. god is no

ALICE A BAILEY17 TELEPATHY AND THE ETHERIC VEHICLE

will thus gain some idea of the subtlety of the whole subject, of its close relation to energy impacts and of its group reception as differentiated from individual reception, as is the case in any telepathic rapport. 1. the impression of shamballa by: a. members of the great white lodge on sirius. the recipients of this impression are the highest members of the great council, presided over by the lord of the world. so subtle is this impression that these great lives can only receive it with accuracy when in full joint conference of the entire council, and also after due preparation. b. from one or other of the constellations which are at any particular time astrologically en rapport with our planet. this impression can only be received by the great council when sitting in conclave with a m

e council. c. from a triangle of circulating energy, emanating from the two planets which with our planet- 25- telepathy and the etheric vehicle copyright 1998 lucis trust the earth form a triangle in any particular cycle. this impression is received by the three buddhas of activity for distribution to the hierarchy. d. from the planet venus, the earth's alter ego. this makes its entrance via the lord of the world and three of his council who are chosen by him at any specific time to act as recipients. these are the major entering impressions, recorded by what is glibly called "the universal mind" the mind of god, our planetary logos. there are other entering impressions, but to them i do not refer, as any reference would be meaningless to you. 2. the impression of the hierarchy by: a. sha

his. consciousness is inherent in all forms of life. that is an occult platitude. it is an innate potency which forever accompanies life in manifestation. these two, related through manifestation, are in reality atma-buddhi, spirit-reason, dedicated for the term of the creative period to a simultaneous functioning; the first result of their relation is the appearance of that which will enable the lord of the world to express his own unknown inscrutable purpose. during the cycle of manifestation, this combination of life-awareness, spirit-reason, atma-buddhi, is the product of the multiplicity in unity of which we hear so much demonstrating as activity, quality, ideology, rationality, relationship, unity, and many other expressions of the divine nature. in the earlier part of a treatise on

fertile fields of illumination. as regards shamballa, the impression there received is not the result of invocation which in due course evokes extra-planetary response, as is the case between the hierarchy and shamballa, and the hierarchy and humanity, with certain changes during the process of stepping down or of descent. that which impresses shamballa and is received by the grand council of the lord of the world, comes via sanat kumara because he is in close contact with other planetary logoi or groups of planetary logoi, wielding a united, focussed, intelligent will. it is sanat kumara whose task it is to impress the lives who meet periodically in the council chamber with the next phase of unfolding purpose. this purpose is later "occultly reduced" or stepped down until it emerges as th

gnisable and indefinable by advanced humanity. the words "atmic realisation" are most interesting, for they refer to the quality and the mass of will energy which could be made available by the pledged and unified hierarchy to carry out the imminent plan. never forget that in considering shamballa and the plan, we are thinking entirely within the limits of the expression of the will aspect of the lord of the world, and this except for advanced initiates is well-nigh impossible. this factor has to be accepted theoretically, even if not yet understood. to these two unalterable requirements the hierarchy contributes the faculty of pure reason, which is the governing faculty of the hierarchy and which brings into activity the quality to which man has erroneously given the name of "love. this e

the keynotes of the sign aries are four in number, all conveying the same idea. they can be expressed in the following four injunctions which are given, symbolically, to the incarnating soul: 1. express the will to be and do. 2. unfold the power to manifest. 3. enter into battle for the lord. 4. arrive at unity through effort. creation being activity strife synthesis, these are the nature of the lord of the first constellation and enable him to influence our planet to these results. and thus the great cycle of struggle towards expression starts and the foundational words of the secret doctrine, with which you are all so familiar, expresses the goal and the purpose of the first sign of the cardinal cross "matter is the vehicle for the manifestation of soul on this plane of existence, and s

as hitherto veiled, appears and dominates the scene at the end of the greater world cycle. we are told that the incarnating minds, human beings, the solar angels, came originally from venus, but they in turn give place to the monad, the one. mind gives place to intuition and reason to pure perception. 3. saturn "falls" in aries. this has two meanings, for this is a dual sign. first: saturn is the lord of karma, the imposer of retribution and the one who demands full payment of all debts and who therefore condemns us to the struggle for existence, both from the form side and from the soul side. saturn, therefore "fell" when man fell into generation. he "followed the sons of men down into their low place" second: saturn's power is completely ended and his work accomplished when man (the spir

rams than the second ray ashram of k.h. or my own. i have given to them the basic teaching which they would have received from their own masters and because my ashram is a second ray ashram they have had an imperative stimulus given to their love nature, and their sense of universality has been developed, in order to fit them for the work of the coming cycle. in the cycle now so near at hand, the lord of love will seek to organise the new era along the new or aquarian lines. in the series of papers on the externalisation of the ashrams or of the hierarchy*(6) we are in reality considering the goal or supreme expression of the teaching given to many disciples anent that great event teaching intended to evoke their intelligent cooperation. in your preceding series of instructions i dealt spe

teries, bring the first two initiations into a relative prominence as integral parts of the coming world religion, familiarise the whole of mankind with the fact of the subjective world, and finally bring the most developed of the sons of men into a faint glimmer of understanding of the essential reality underlying all phenomena, and give some grasp of the purpose of shamballa and the will of the lord of the world. humanity has now reached a point of development where there is a definite grasp of the plan of the hierarchy call it brotherhood, sharing, internationalism, unity or what you will. this is a growing and factual apprehension and is a general recognition by the thinkers and esotericists of the world, by the religious people of enlightenment, by broad minded statesmen, and even tod

divine will, eludes as yet the most advanced. the work of the next few centuries will bring about changes in this respect, and these changes will be brought about by the work done in the ashrams of the masters, guided by the ashrams of the chohans, welded together in the great ashram of the hierarchy itself, and moving ever into closer relation with the great council chamber of sanat kumara, the lord of the world, in shamballa. this has to be brought about on earth by disciples, acting under instructions such as i now give you and by their prompt collaboration with their masters. the doing of this will invoke the creative imagination of the disciple, and this, in its turn, will be conditioned and controlled by the illumined mind. a second stage comes when the disciple, having considered t

of human beings who are far more ancient in their origin than we are, will form one humanity and then there will be peace on earth. why our planet and this solar system should have been constituted the nursery for the seeds of separativeness and why this remnant of humanity, far more advanced than ours, should have been destined to work out its future on our earth, is hid in the knowledge of the lord of shamballa, and is unattainable knowledge for you and, indeed, for many in the hierarchy. it is simply a fact to be accepted by you. the solution will come, as i said, when the races regard the jewish problem as a humanitarian problem but also when the jew does his share of understanding, love and right action. this he does not yet do, speaking racially. he must let go of his own separative

rger argues that this title ties oracles to the epic bard traditions of tibet and also draws attention to the dangerous experiences that are commonly found in the life narratives of oracles.154 de nebesky-wojkowitz makes a distinction between terms used for oracles that channel low-ranking deities lhapa (lha pa "god person" and those used for high-ranking, state-recognized oracles ch j (chos rje "lord of the doctrine" one final term that was shared with me personally is ch kyong (chos skyong "guardian of the doctrine."155 this term is particularly confusing because it is more commonly applied to the deities themselves. thus, there appears to be a degree of conflation occurring here, where the individual identity of the oracle is so subsumed within that of the possessing deity as to be indi

e 41. the deity departs at this point, and the human faculties of the oracle return; the oracle has no recollection of the proceedings of the trance session. several trance sessions may occur during one ceremony, with each trance signifying the descent of another god into the oracle. usually the first god to enter is the central god with whom the oracle is most associated. this god is called the "lord of the channels (rtsa bdag, and as such is the one who allows other deities to enter the oracle.183 at the conclusion of the ceremony, prayers of thanksgiving are usually recited. the oracle then strips off the oracular attire and replaces it in proper order on its throne with the help of his or her assistants. usually the normal clothes of the oracle, which are worn beneath this attire, are

heavily explored in a number of scholarly works. this examination will provide a broader image of the protector deity cult in tibet and further illustrate common elements. this wrathful deity, named pehar (pe har, has already been alluded to previously and is especially pertinent in this discussion because of his close history with tsiu marpo. one initial parallel is that, while tsiu marpo is the lord of the might demons, pehar is the lord of the conqueror demons (rgyal po).203 however, pehar is also considered the lord of all protector deities.204 like tsiu marpo, pehar has several variant names and appellations that are most discernible in their transliterations: dpe kar, pe dkar, spe dkar, dpe dkar, be dkar, dpe ha ra, and pe ha ra. his titles include "king of the doctrine guardians (ch

GAMBLE ELIZA BURT THE GOD IDEA OF THE ANCIENTS OR SEX IN RELIGION

, however, that as man had not at that time been created, if there were no female element present, this excess of politeness on the part of the "lord" was wholly lost. surely, in a matter involving such an enormous stretch of power as the creation of man independently of the female energy, we would scarcely expect to find the high and mighty male potentate which was subsequently worshipped as the lord of the israelites laying aside his usual "i the lord" simply out of deference to the animals. in christian countries, during the past eighteen hundred years, the greatest care has been exercised to conceal the fact that sun-worship underlies all forms of religion, and under protestant christianity no pains has been spared in eliminating the female element from the god-idea; hence the ignoranc

ng pages had been completed, it is observed that this figure is represented by the head of a man and the body of a serpent. hea, the great goddess to whom water, the original principle, is sacred, and who is suspiciously connected with noah, the life-principle which appears at the close of a cycle, has changed her sex. this god is now the "ruler of the seas "master of the life-boat (the ark, and "lord of the earth" the earth is his and the fulness thereof. he is the "life giver" the "lord of hosts" who subsequently becomes the maker of heaven and earth. minerva, who had been the first emanation from the deity and the daughter of the great mother of the gods, now has a father but no mother. jove, who in course of time came to be represented as a male creator, brought her forth from his head

rk, chest, or box. this ark, as the receptacle of the god, was still a holy thing. not only among the israelites, but among other nations of the east, we find the devotees of the male god beginning to assume a position quite independent of the beliefs of their fathers. at this time great towers or pillars begin to be erected in honor of this deity, which is figured as the "god of life" or as the "lord of hosts" notwithstanding the fact that the story of the exodus contains much historical truth, it is altogether probable that the priests have used it, as they did that of the flood, to conceal their religious doctrines. at the time of the exodus, the israelites were ignorant tribes without laws or letters, and while in egypt were menials of the lowest order. hence, the laws written on the t

minate from the hitherto dual conception of a deity the female principle, which, in their arrogance, and because of the change which had been wrought in the relations of the sexes, they no longer acknowledged as important in the office of reproduction. it is quite true they would worship only one god--the "lord--but that lord was, as we have seen, a deity of physical strength and virile might, a "lord of hosts" a god which was to be worshipped under the symbol of an upright stone--an object which by every nation of the globe down to a comparatively recent time has typified male pro-creative energy. that the masses of the people, even as late as the time of jeremiah, had no higher conception of a god than that indicated by an upright stone, is shown by that prophet when he accuses the entir

vinity which was worshipped by a people whose superior intelligence can scarcely be questioned. regarding this subject higgins remarks "persons who have not given much consideration to these subjects will be apt to wonder that any people should be found to offer adoration to the evil principle; but they do not consider that, in all these recondite systems, the evil principle, or the destroyer, or lord of death, was at the same time the regenerator. he could not destroy but to reproduce, and it was probably not till this principle began to be forgotten, that the evil being, per se, arose; for in some nations this effect seems to have taken place. thus baal-zebub is, in iberno celtic, baal lord, and zab death, lord of death; but he is also called aleim, the same as the god of the israelites;

is most powerful in the russian orthodox traditions. it is a tradition of great age and some beauty that personifies the power of the holy spirit as distinctly female. for example, in proverbs particularly we have sophia wandering the street begging men to love her. while in the following quotes we may even begin to think that sophia or wisdom is separate, yet in reality, sophia is a facet of the lord of wisdom himself. wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: she crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, how long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? turn you at my reproof: behold, i will pour out my spirit unto you, i will

erse, while the logos and sophia model is central to gnosticism, this older structure is found in many nature religions. the divine will is seen as either the cosmic father or mother and the earth is the wife, husband or lover. in this mythology the underworld is intricately connected to the earth, even seen as part of it. in the norse tradition the god is odin or tyr (much earlier) and he is the lord of the upper world (asgard) and hel is the goddess of the underworld and earth. hel and freya are much the same goddess, she simply split into two and was demoted due to strong patriarchal and later christian influences. she was the goddess of death and rebirth, fertility and suffering, she guards the dead and sends them back to life, she compliments and completes the lord or tyr/odin. in cel

l with is the proper relationship between humanity and the gods, so they sometimes allude to mythical events, such as the sun god s decision to destroy rebellious humanity. other literary works that deal with ethical issues are in the form of prophecies or dialogues between a man and a supernatural being.31 in a text comparable to the biblical book of job, a man named ipuur (ipuwer) questions the lord of all about why suffering and injustice are rife in egypt. the god s replies are not very well preserved in the only surviving manuscript, but the gist is that people must accept responsibility for their own actions.32 some egyptologists assign the dialogue of ipuur to a genre of pessimistic literature that describes egypt as a society in chaos. it used to be thought that these texts were wr

a goddess. she can function separately from the sun god but remains a part of him. the search for the lost children in coffin texts spell 76 is one of the many myths about the first sunrise. shu, the god of air, creates a void in the primeval waters so that the solar eye can shine for the first time.11 a fuller version of this myth found in the bremner-rhind papyrus has a different emphasis. the lord of all recounts how shu and tefnut were nurtured by the god of the primeval waters, with my eye (following) after them from the time they became separated from me. when the creator came fully into existence on the primeval mound, shu and tefnut rejoiced and returned with the eye. then she became furious after she had come back and found that i had put another in her place. the creator has app

er. it is these tears of sorrow and loneliness that produce humanity. in contrast, deities arise as a byproduct of ra s joy when his mother, neith, returns. so, most versions of the tears myth provide an explanation for the perpetually sorrowful and imperfect state of humanity. in spite of this imperfection, the creator was said to have done many things to help humanity. in coffin texts 1130, the lord of all describes his four good deeds. these were to create the four winds to give the breath of life to every body, to make the annual nile flood so that everyone would get enough food, to create everyone with equal potential, and to make every person s heart remember the west. this last deed implies that from the beginning humans were destined for an eternal life in the beautiful west, the r

eparated the souls of men from truth by encasing them in mortal vehicles. the other sect viewed the demiurgus as being divinely inspired and merely fulfilling the dictates of the invisible lord. some gnostics were of the opinion that the jewish god, jehovah, was the demiurgus. this concept, under a slightly different name, apparently influenced medi val rosicrucianism, which viewed jehovah as the lord of the material universe rather than as the supreme deity. mythology abounds with the stories of gods who partook of both celestial and terrestrial natures. odin, of scandinavia, is a good example of a deity subject to mortality, bowing before the laws of nature and yet being, in certain senses at least, a supreme deity. the gnostic viewpoint concerning the christ is well worthy of considerat

mysteries, thomas taylor sums up their purpose as follows "the lesser mysteries were designed by the ancient theologists, their founders, to signify occultly the condition of the unpurified soul invested with an earthy body, and enveloped in a material and physical nature" the legend used in the lesser rites is that of the abduction of the goddess persephone, the daughter of ceres, by pluto, the lord of the underworld, or hades. while persephone is picking flowers in a beautiful meadow, the earth suddenly opens and the gloomy lord of death, riding in a magnificent chariot, emerges from its somber depths and, grasping her in his arms, carries the screaming and struggling goddess to his subterranean palace, where he forces her to become his queen. it is doubtful whether many of the initiate

er world, he slew the titans in order that the divine idea might not be entirely lost. from the ashes of the titans he formed mankind, whose purpose of existence was to preserve and eventually to release the bacchic idea, or rational soul, from the titanic fabrication. jupiter, being the demiurgus and fabricator of the material universe, is the third person of the creative triad, consequently the lord of death, for death exists only in the lower sphere of being over which he presides. disintegration takes place so that reintegration may follow upon a higher level of form or intelligence. the thunderbolts of jupiter are emblematic of his disintegrative power; they reveal the purpose of death, which is to rescue the rational soul from the devouring power of the irrational nature. man is a co

f the tammuz rites. being the esoteric god of the sun, tammuz did not occupy a position among the first deities venerated by the babylonians, who for lack of deeper knowledge looked upon him as a god of agriculture or a vegetation spirit. originally he was described as being one of the guardians of the gates of the underworld. like many other savior-gods, he is referred to as a "shepherd" or "the lord of the shepherd seat" tammuz occupies the remarkable position of son and husband of ishtar, the babylonian and assyrian mother-goddess. ishtar--to whom the planer venus was sacred--was the most widely venerated deity of the babylonian and assyrian pantheon. she was probably identical with ashterorh, astarte, and aphrodite. the story of her descent into the underworld in search presumably for

ring from this union was a daughter, aradia or herodias, the archetypal "avatar" or patroness of all witches. in this legend of diana with its gnostic overtones, there are reflections of the cabalistic tradition of naamah, the seductress of the fallen angel azael. naamah, is synonymous with babylonian lilith, and azael is none other than babylonian shamash, the sun-god in his underworld aspect as lord of riches and artificer of metals. in fact he is the alter ego of tubal cain himself, naamah's own brother. azael or azazel, is in fact one of the modern witch's gods. which brings me to the crux of the matter. according to ancient magical legend, azael was originally one of those beings of primordial fire, first created dwellers in the high heaven, referred to by the christian church as mess

transformation. the devil as an initiatory force is considered masculine, thus is represented by the phallus or source of creative life. in the tarot, the devil is attributed to capricornus, and the hebrew letter ayin, being an eye. the symbolism of the devil as the initiator may be best understood by the tarot as presented in the book of thoth. satan/set is the ass headed god of the desert, the lord of storms and desolate places. set is the tester of self, the adversary and 9 luciferian is also relevant to the egyptian god set, sethanic= of set. 10 see iblis, the black light by peter lamborn wilson. the flame of isolate consciousness and being is the black light/black flame. this is defined as the fire and perception of being, antinomianism. 11 the book of thoth weiser publications 8 opp

caused all of nimrod s laborers to abruptly speak different languages. from there, the people dispersed to every corner of the globe. this story, like the flood, has many parallels outside of the bible. the aztec people of mexico say that at one time giants of deformed stature once possessed the land. arrogant were these giants, who endeavored to build a tower so as to reach the heavens. when the lord of heaven looked upon the haughty ambition of the earth-dwellers, he sent down his minions to confound them. this action caused the builders of the tower to go their separate ways and disperse across the earth. and then there s the savior. a character who, similar to the flood, seems like an imprint in the mind that was left by a dream- yet a pleasant dream this time. the wanderer, the civili

y that apollo is the only greek god that actually exists? probably not. what s more likely is that many( if not all) characters from the bible have corresponding names in greek mythology. but even though the characters correspond, the perspective of villains and heroes appears to have been inverted; as though retold through the eyes of a modern day satanist. in greek mythology, zeus is the tyrant lord of mount olympus, who is promiscuous, jealous, and a rapist. whereas prometheus, who is azazel and lucifer, is the creator and champion of mankind, highly intelligent, and can easily deceive zeus. i can t believe it s not fiction: zeus and hades heracles (2001) clash of the titans (2010) hidden history [1.6] mythology isn t the only vector by which we can reconstruct history. evidence of a mo

sonification of the operations of nature, he represents those grand laws of unchanging and harmonious order, by which not only the physical but also [27]the moral world is governed. hence he is the god of regulated time as marked by the changing seasons, and by the regular succession of day and night, in contradistinction to his father cronus, who represents time absolutely, i.e. eternity. as the lord of state-life, he is the founder of kingly power, the upholder of all institutions connected with the state, and the special friend and patron of princes, whom he guards and assists with his advice and counsel. he protects the assembly of the people, and, in fact, watches over the welfare of the whole community. as the father of the gods, zeus sees that each deity performs his or her individu

fectively learns to play at being god. since satanism, as described above, involves theindividual questing to become like satan, it is relevant to consider who and what satan is. satan is the prince of darkness- master of all that is hidden or secret, both within ourselves and external to ourselves. he is the ruler of this world- the force behind its evolutionary change; the 'fire' of life. he is lord of life- of all the sensual delights and pleasures. he is also 'evil' or 'dark' or 'sinister- merciless, ruthless, master of death. he can and does promote suffering, misery, death. but all these things are impersonal- they are natural consequences of life, of change and evolution. satan, by his nature, cannot be 'bribed' or 'propitiated- and neither can his services be bought, by a "pact" or

in in a new form, and yet, still a different being; the old paradox. the horned god, this most ancient of all conceptions of divinity, was the fertilizing force of the ground, the mother, and the sky. the light between his horns showed his power as source of fire and light. he was always venerated in pagan faiths, for these sourcefunctions, and for his countless other gifts and powers. he was the lord of beasts, the fertilizing force. most importantly for our discussion, he was the lord of life and death- a being who represented, mediated, and controlled the forces of sexuality; he was eros or love s channel into biology, which led to involvement in life s many changes, and death, and what lay beyond death- in his brighter forms, he was the puck of the forest green, ravishing and rutting;

ed, the alchemist who wed their innerworldly or otherworldly mate brought about the birth of the child, and what is important to note here is that the child is born of a union of two worlds- this world, represented by the alche mist, and the otherworld, represented by the spiritual bride or groom. in the daughter s mythology, she represents the human being of this world, and her seducer/mate, the lord of the underworld, represents the otherworldly partner that she is joined to in a conjunction. when male humans attempt to recreate this mythological pattern in their own mind/world, the whole process is moved out one step, and the male seeker of the mysteries becomes the worldly being and he seeks the daughter, who becomes the fetch wife or the otherworldly mate, who, in conjunction with him

worldly being and he seeks the daughter, who becomes the fetch wife or the otherworldly mate, who, in conjunction with him, brings forth the child. feminine initiates actually engage this myth on a more immediate level, taking on the role of the daughter themselves, and seeking the spiritual union with the dark lord below, who becomes the fetch husband (and in time, reveals himself to them as the lord of light. it is in this way that the child is born of their union. the rest of the feminine mysteries involve the secret, inner basis of the feminine- the power of motherhood and generation, which is embodied in every woman; the powers of slow, steady creation of life, and the ongoing continuity of life. the stable and firm basis of the feminine strength is the backbone of human societies; it

THE NECRONOMICON SIMON VERSION

combination of two words, the first sumerian and the second coptic, which gives us a clue as to its identity. azag in sumerian means "enchanter" or "magician; thoth in coptic is the name given to the egyptian god of magick and wisdom, tahuti, who was evoked by both the golden dawn and by crowley himself (and known to the greeks as hermes, from whence we get "hermetic. azag-thoth is, therefore, a lord of magicians, but of the "black" magicians, or the sorcerers of the "other side. there is a seeming reference to shub niggurath in the necronomicon, in the name of a sumerian deity, the "answerer of prayers, called ishnigarrab. the word "shub" is to be found in the sumerian language in reference to the rite of exorcism, one of which is called nam shub and means "the throwing. it is, however

nest to the self, to present challenge and overcome such is to attain a foundation upon the path of mastery. beelzebub is a name for satan mentioned in the new testament with regards to him holding the title of prince of demons. the name beelzebub or beelzebuth actually can be derived from baal zebub, baal meaning lord and zebub which holds reference in hebrew as hostility, thus baal zebub is the lord of hostility or they enemy, a title of the opposer. dominus muscarum is also a translation of the title of beelzebub, meaning lord of flies and relates to the adversary being in part a spirit of the air. baal-zebub as the name of a god worshipped in the philistine city of ekron around 850 b.c. and was considered a controller of flies and perhaps plague. if the initiate of the luciferian path

r each of them, the interplay which we call cause and effect. ray i..will, dynamically applied, emerges in manifestation as power. ray ii..love, magnetically functioning, produces wisdom. ray iii..intelligence, potentially found in substance, causes activity. the result of the interplay of these three major rays can be seen in the activity of the four minor rays. the secret doctrine speaks of the lords of knowledge and of love, and also of the lords of ceaseless devotion. we might, in order more clearly to understand the mystical significance of these names, point out that the dynamic persistent will of the logos expresses itself through the lords of ceaseless devotion. here devotion is not the quality to which i referred earlier in this treatise, but is the persistent directed one-pointed

bjective. the soul is a lord of love and wisdom, whilst the personality is a lord of knowledge and of intelligent activity. this use of terms involves the realisation of an achieved goal. it is not true of the present stage as regards expression, for this is the intermediate stage. none are as yet working with full intelligent activity, though some day each will do so. none are as yet manifesting lords of love, but they sense the ideal and are striving towards its expression. none are as yet lords of ceaseless will and none realise as yet the plan of the monad nor the true goal towards which all are striving. some day all will. but potentially every human unit is all these three, and some day the appearances which were called personalities, that mask or veil reality, will fully reveal the

own to all save the higher initiates. but the purpose of each ray life may be sensed and defined, subject of course to the limitations of the human mind and to the inadequacy of words. the planned activity of every ray qualifies every form found within its body of manifestation. we come now to a technical statement which must be accepted for the sake of argument, being incapable of proof. all the lords of the rays create a body of expression, and thus the seven planets have come into being. these are their major expressions. the sun (veiling vulcan) jupiter saturn mercury venus mars the moon the energies of these seven lives however are not confined to their planetary expressions, but- 43- a treatise on the seven rays- volume i: esoteric psychology i copyright 1998 lucis trust sweep around

the highest aspect of man, his "father in heaven" finds place. these lives are the points of fire who must become the flame; this they do through the agency of the fifth hierarchy and the four wicks, or the two dual lower hierarchies. thus it can be seen that where man is concerned, the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh hierarchies are, during the cycle of incarnation, his very self. they are the "lords of sacrifice" and "lords of love" the flower of atma-buddhi- 25- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iii: esoteric astrology copyright 1998 lucis trust in studying these hierarchies, one of the most valuable lessons to be learned is the place and importance of man in the scheme. the hierarchy, for instance, which is the essence of the intangible life of spirit, the principle of buddhi, is t

underlies the well-known phrase "the lamb slain from the foundation of the world" and when the relationship between aries, scorpio and pisces is properly understood (as the linking and merging of the three crosses) a new light will be thrown upon all subsidiary sciences exoteric and esoteric. the teaching in the secret doctrine about the reincarnating monads who are called the divine sacrifices, lords of knowledge, will and sacrifice, will be clarified. these monads, who are ourselves, are lords of persevering ceaseless devotion devotion even unto death. it is interesting here to note also that through the ruling planet, mars, the average man born in this sign is related to scorpio, and thus the cardinal cross is related to the fixed cross. points of crisis can thus be noted when the horo

renounces the life of form, the personality centre. the soul detaches itself (in consciousness) from the monad, the one, and functions from its own centre, making its own new and material attachments. then, upon the reversal of the wheel, it proceeds to detach itself from the personality and re-attach itself in consciousness to the one who sent it forth. such is the climaxing story of pisces. the lords of will and sacrifice come down into manifestation, sacrificing their high position and opportunities upon the higher planes of manifestation in order to redeem matter and raise the lives by which it is informed (the lower creative hierarchies) to the status of themselves in so far as they constitute the fourth creative hierarchy. this is the subjective purpose, underlying the sacrifice of t

ust as the major sins of lemurian times (if they could be called sins in any true sense, because of the low intelligence of the race) were through the misuse of sex, so the major sin of the atlantean people was theft widespread and general. the seeds of aggression and of personal acquisitiveness began to show themselves, culminating in the great war (as related in the secret doctrine) between the lords of the shining countenance and the lords of the dark face. to procure what they coveted and felt they needed, the most highly evolved of that race began to practice magic. it is not possible for me to outline to you the nature and practices of atlantean magic with its control of elementals and of forms of life which have now been driven back into retreat and are inaccessible to humanity; nei

he lunar pitris and the elemental essences of all forms. this primordial karma (if i may so call it) is contributory to the existence of disease. we are told in the ancient books, to which the masters have access, that the world is constructed of substance which is already tainted with the karma of a previous solar system. it will be apparent to you that these streams of force, emanating from the lords of the seven rays, are coloured, therefore, and "tainted" if i may use such a word by the limitations of these same great beings; they are gods, from our point of view, but in reality, gods in the making, even though much nearer solar divinity than the most advanced human being is near to planetary divinity. they are the "imperfect gods" spoken of in the secret doctrine and are the planetary

al to repeat the story so that there may be a fresh clarity in your thinking. it will be apparent to you also that the karmic process in any individual life must therefore work out through the medium of the glands, which condition the reaction of the person to circumstance and events. the results of all previous lives and of all activities carried on during those lives have been registered by the lords of karma; karmic law works in close cooperation with the lunar lords, who build and construct the bodies which constitute the personality; later, the law works in an even closer cooperation with the soul purpose. the whole problem is necessarily most intricate and difficult. all i can do is to give certain indications. it is with this system of centres and their externalised effects, the gla

st in lemurian times, the third divine aspect, that of intelligence, was invoked by the mass appeal of instinctual animal-man; he little knew what that almost inchoate appeal would invoke. light appeared on earth and true progressive enlightenment became possible. i am not here referring to physical light, but to the light of the intellect. in atlantean days, as a result of the strife between the lords of light or of the shining countenance and the lords of the dark face (as they are called in the ancient scriptures and in the secret doctrine) another "era of invocation" occurred and the second divine aspect of love became a possible unfoldment, though still only an embryonic quality of mankind. the mass appeal was then more intelligently voiced, though the instinctual appeal still persist

n is based upon an unconscious and unrealised self-pity. to offset this unrecognised habit of thought, this meditation is intended to teach the disciple to create with deliberate intention his own cross, and in this manner do away with his idea (again unrealised) that the cross is the result of his point in evolution, that it is imposed upon him by astrological conditions, and that through it the lords of karma work, exacting from him the full price for all past misdeeds. this, in reality, is not so. by the time a man is admitted into an ashram he has already worked off a very great deal of his karma, both good and bad, and is now ready to build his own cross upon which he takes his stand with his hands stretched out in blessing. that is the idea underlying this seventh meditation on the v

hus presented to the hierarchy. c. in developing that spirit of sevenfold receptivity which will make them a channel for the inflow of ray energies from shamballa into the hierarchy. their united aura or area of influence and the extent of their magnetic and dynamic radiation correspond roughly to the aura of the planet itself; they contain (within their ranks) members who are identified with the lords of the seven rays- 148- discipleship in the new age- volume ii copyright 1998 lucis trust they are, in a peculiar sense, the creative agents of life as it streams forth from shamballa into all the aspects, areas, kingdoms and fields of manifestation. this they are enabled to do through sustained, concentrated, intensive and dynamic meditation. they are necessarily a second ray group (as the

ness to know that there was a difficulty, and had no outside help been given the race must have died out. therefore the angels from the moon, who were the guardians of mankind, herded the sexes together in great temples at times when the interplanetary lines of force were propitious to propagation and thus they perpetuated the race. it was also proposed that when the brain had been completed, the lords of mercury, elder brothers of our present humanity who excelled in intelligence, should teach us how to use the mind and make it truly creative so that we would no longer be dependent upon the separate sexual process of generation now in vogue. thus by the work of these two great hierarchies, we were raised from unconsciousness to the first stage of creative intelligence, from plant to god

dies by continuous inhalation of this element; so man, the spirit, was rendered unconscious of and dead to the spiritual realms by the teachings which were instilled into him by the lucifer spirits. the metal mercury, they contended, is the most elusive of all metals. it will penetrate and evaporate through most substances with which it is brought in contact; and therefore they likened it to the lords of mercury who are past masters in penetrating the secrets of nature by the mind. mercury is also capable of freeing the spirit from its physical prison house. by the process of generation carried on at a propitious time under the guidance of the angels, man was treading the path from plant to god, following the highway of evolution as originally planned. from this path he strayed into the b

g the highway of evolution as originally planned. from this path he strayed into the byways of degeneration, led by the lucifer spirits, and is therefore now as it were in a slough from which he cannot extricate himself save with the help of others further advanced than he. when this becomes apparent to him and he starts to search for light, he stands at the pathway of regeneration guarded by the lords of mercury who with their wisdom will guide him toward the desired goal. the method as outlined by the ancient alchemists we shall discuss when we have summed up in a few words the points made. these must be firmly fixed in mind to appreciate the full value of what follows. the creative force used by god to bring a solar system into manifestation, and the force used by the divine hierarchies
