ALICE A BAILEY01 THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE ATOM

now extend our idea from the individual forms that go to the constitution of any of these four kingdoms of nature, and view them as providing that still greater form which we call the kingdom itself, and thus view that kingdom as a conscious unit, forming a homogeneous whole. thus each kingdom in nature may be considered as providing a form through which a consciousness of some kind or grade can manifest. thus, also, the aggregate of animal forms composes that greater form which we designate the kingdom itself, and this animal kingdom likewise has its place within a still greater body. through that kingdom a conscious life may be seeking expression, and through the aggregate of kingdoms a still greater subjective life may be seeking manifestation. in all these kingdoms which we are consid

he consciousness of the atom copyright 1998 lucis trust having, therefore, discovered two aspects of divinity in the atom and in the form, we shall find the triplicity perfected in man. we have been told that man is made in the image of god, and we would therefore expect to see him reflecting the threefold nature of the logos. he must demonstrate intelligence, he must show forth love, and he must manifest will. let us consider some of the definitions of man as found in the dictionary and elsewhere. the definition found in the standard dictionary is a profoundly uninteresting one, and is as follows: man is "an individual of the human race" and then follows a long list of suggestive derivations of the word man, running through every known tongue, and concluding with the statement that many o

nd by the wandering of the prodigal son in the far country, you have the various stages which are pictured in the christian bible where man makes the discovery that he is not the form, but that he is the one who utilises it. he is intelligence, and therefore he is made in the image of the third person of the trinity; he is love, and through him the love aspect of the deity will some day perfectly manifest, and he will be able to say with his elder brother, the christ, in reply to the demand "lord, show us the father" that "he that hath seen me, hath seen the father" for god is love; and finally, through him the highest aspect, the will of god will become manifest, and he will be perfect, even as his father in heaven is perfect. just as in the evolution of substance three stages could be se

atoms together, causing them to cohere and vibrate in unison, and thus producing a form, or an aggregation of atoms. we came to the recognition that in atomic substance we had one aspect of the godhead, of the deity, and of the central force or energy of the solar system, manifesting under the aspect of intelligence, and we saw that in the form aspect of nature another quality of the deity became manifest, that of love or attraction, the cohesive force which holds the form unified. then we studied the human being, or man, and noted how in him all the three divine aspects met; and recognised man as a central will manifesting through a form composed of atoms, and demonstrating the three qualities of god, that of intelligence, of love-wisdom, and of will or power. to-day we are stepping out o

nary growth of consciousness in the three lower kingdoms. it is not possible in the short time now at my disposal, to go into that most fascinating study of the development of consciousness in the animal kingdom, in the vegetable kingdom, and its appearance also in the mineral kingdom; we should find, should we do so, that even minerals show symptoms of awareness of reaction to stimuli; that they manifest signs of fatigue, and that it is possible to poison a mineral and to murder it, much as you can murder a human being. the fact that flowers have consciousness is being more readily recognised, and articles of very deep interest have been published on the consciousness of plants, opening up a very wide range of thought. we have seen that in atomic matter the only- 36- the consciousness of

ntual union of the two it is possible that the way out may be found for the new race in the new age. first: in the eastern system, it is assumed that within every human form dwells an entity, a being, called the self or soul. second: this self utilizes the form of the human being as its instrument or means of expression, and through the sum total of the mental and emotional states will eventually manifest itself, utilizing the physical body as its functioning mechanism on the physical plane. finally, the control of these means of expression is brought about under the law of rebirth. through the evolutionary process (carried forward through many lives in a physical body) the self gradually builds a fit instrument through which to manifest, and learns to master it. thus the self or soul beco

interpretation of his life."8 the teaching of lao-tzu can also serve the same purpose. religion must eventually be composite, gathered from many sources and composed of many truths. yet it is legitimate to feel that if one had to choose, at this time, one faith, one might choose christianity, and for this specific reason: the central problem of life is to lay hold upon our divinity and to make it manifest. in the life of christ we have the most complete and perfect demonstration and example of divinity lived successfully on earth, and lived as most of us have to live not in retirement, but in the full tide of storm and stress. exponents of all faiths are today meeting to discuss the possibility of finding a platform of such universality and truth that upon it all men may unite, and on whic

at release and illumination, with the final objective of group love and group good. we learn to perfect ourselves in consonance with christ's injunction "be ye therefore perfect,"11 in order to have somewhat to contribute to the group good, and in order to serve christ perfectly. thus that spiritual reality, spoken of by st. paul as "christ in you, the hope of glory,"12 is released in man and can manifest in full expression. when a sufficient number of people have grasped this ideal, the entire human family can stand for the first time before the portal which leads to the path of light, and the life of christ will flower forth in the human kingdom. personality then fades out, dimmed by the glory of the soul, which, like the rising sun, disperses the darkness, reveals the life-situation, an

ngdom of god through the process of initiation. the fact that the historical christ existed and walked on earth is the guarantee to us of our own divinity and our ultimate achievement. the fact of the mythic christ, appearing again and again down the ages, proves that god has never left himself without witness and that always there have been those who have achieved. the fact of the cosmic christ, manifest as the urge towards perfection in all the kingdoms of nature, proves the fact of god and is our eternal hope. humanity stands at the portals of initiation. 3 always there have been temples and mysteries and holy places where the true aspirant could find what he sought, and the needed instruction as to the way he should go. the prophet of old said. a highway shall be there, and a way, and

gospel story, the work is carried on which makes the later achievements possible. we are primarily considering in this book the technique of the entrance into the kingdom of god. that kingdom exists, and birth into it is as inescapable as birth into the human family. the process is a sequential proceeding from gestation until, in "the fullness of time" the christ child is born; the soul begins to manifest on earth, and the life of the disciple and initiate begins. he passes from stage to stage until he has mastered all the laws of the spiritual kingdom. through birth, service and sacrifice the initiate becomes a citizen of that kingdom, and this is as much a natural process connected with his inner life as are the physical processes in their connection with his outer life as a human being

he appearance and express the quality of the great all-enfolding lives and of the life in which all "lives and moves and has its being" the unfoldment of the human consciousness is signalised sequentially by the recognition of life after life, of being after being, and the realisation that these lives are in themselves the sum total of all the potencies and energies whose will is to create and to manifest. in dealing, however, with these energies and forces, it is impossible to express their appearance, quality and purpose except in symbolic form, and the following points should therefore be remembered: 1. the personality consciousness is that of the third aspect of divinity, the creator aspect. this works in matter and substance in order to create forms through which the quality may expre

it, is but the force manifestation of the first subplane of the cosmic physical plane. we are dealing, therefore, as far as consciousness is concerned, with what might be regarded symbolically as the brain reaction and response to cosmic purpose, the brain reaction of god himself. in man, the microcosm, the objective of the evolutionary purpose for the fourth kingdom in nature is to enable man to manifest as a soul in time and space and to tune in on the soul purpose and the plan of the creator, as it is known and expressed by the seven spirits before the throne, the seven planetary logoi. but at this point we can only hint at a great mystery, which is that all that the highest of the sons of god on our manifested planetary world can grasp is a partial realisation of the purpose and plan o

various bodies, mental, emotional and physical. it should be remembered that very little egoic control need be evidenced when the first initiation is taken. that initiation indicates simply that the germ of soul life has vitalised and brought into functioning existence the inner spiritual body, the sheath of the inner spiritual man, which will eventually enable the man at the third initiation to manifest forth as "a full-grown man in christ, and present at that time the opportunity to the monad for that full expression of life which can take place when the initiate is identified consciously with the one life. between the first and second initiations, as has been frequently stated, much time can elapse and much change must be wrought during the many stages of discipleship. upon this we wil

here be asked: how can this work out practically in a group of disciples all of them individuals but all sincerely anxious to cooperate and aid in this work? let me try and give a clear reply. you have undertaken voluntarily to work together when proffered the opportunity by me. you are aiming towards a group solidarity which will be based upon the fact of your being souls. this should eventually manifest itself subjectively and essentially in the form of a group telepathic inter-communication, as group understanding also of each other's problems and difficulties and, therefore, as a group opportunity to aid and help one another. this helping should not and must- 13- discipleship in the new age- volume i copyright 1998 lucis trust not come through personality effort or contact, or through

hould, however, be borne in mind that those forces also constitute a hierarchy of entities, constituting the material forms and, therefore, in their place, true and correct. it is a question, in reality, of what is the objective in any particular time cycle. the present objective is that the human family should now, as a whole, do three things and anything which militates against this is evil. 1. manifest the nature of the soul, through the integrated personality. the nature of the soul is love and the will-to-good- 18- discipleship in the new age- volume i copyright 1998 lucis trust 2. transfer the energy, now turned to the vitalising of the physical body and physical creation, to the nurturing of the creative faculty upon the mental plane; thus the entire human family will be transmuted

fficiently moved by opportunity. you have served from a rigid sense of duty but you must now learn to serve with the loving spontaneity which carries all before it. the fluidity of the true disciple must be your goal and that out-going spirit which produces the magnetic server. your magnetism and your radiation need enhancing; that will take place as you transit out of the effort to unfold and to manifest divinity into that more advanced condition which is expressed by the words to "stand in spiritual being" there may also come into your life (as it does into the life of all true servers) an interlude or cycle of experience which may temporarily negate your present cycle of influence but this should only be preparatory to a greater power in service. as to your meditation, my brother, after

et not this glamour limit the impression which you are in a position to make as you serve within your particular sphere of usefulness. be not discouraged (which is an aspect of your particular glamour) at failing to see the results (in this life) of the conditioning which you are imposing on other lives. remember, as a disciple, that in this life you are establishing those relations which may not manifest in their true importance until you as a master gather around you your group for instruction; you are preparing for service many lives hence. you are entering with renewed strength and vigour into the coming winter's work. like many today, relief and release appear to lie in concentration upon your life-appointed task; in the performance and the perfection of duty is to be found a sense of

estation of the simultaneity and the synthesis produced by the sum total of the similar thoughts, desires and plans of the majority. it is for this reason, therefore, that i give you your instructions, in the hope that they may pronouncedly condition the group thinking and in this way produce the needed subjective changes. i have told you that you were establishing those relations which may later manifest. i wonder if you are proceeding in any way consciously to do so? these relations are of a nature different to those existing between you and your associates in your chosen field of work or between you and your group brothers. a disciple and later the initiate of some degree or other from the highest to the lowest has a twofold relation to establish and to hold: 1. with those of like degre

1. in the first solar system, the centre which is humanity was prepared, and the principle of intelligence came into manifestation. 2. in the second solar system, the hierarchy of love made its appearance and must eventually come into full manifestation upon the physical plane, thereby enabling the love of god to be seen. 3. in the next solar system, the centre which we today call shamballa will manifest (intelligently and through love) the will aspect of deity. it is only however in this second solar system that all these three centres, expressing the three divine aspects, meet simultaneously at various stages of livingness. it is interesting to note that it is only through human beings that these centres can ever come into true functioning activity. little is known of shamballa except b

pathic interplay between a mother and her children is instinctual and seated in the animal nature. mental telepathy is now being recognised and studied. this is the activity and rapport established from mind to mind; it also includes the telepathic response to current thoughtforms and thought conditions in the world today. interest in this is already very great. 2. intuitional telepathy begins to manifest increasingly among advanced human beings in all lands and all races. this indicates soul contact and the consequent awakening of group consciousness, for sensitivity to intuitional impressions has to do only with group concerns. this science of contact governs relations within our entire planetary life and includes, for instance, the rapport being established between humanity and the dome

ns is ever present, relating one centre to another and bringing about an evolutionary unity of objective, and developing (with exceeding rapidity at this time) a secondary science, that of invocation and evocation. this science is in reality the science of impression in activity and not simply in theory. the first great invocation was uttered by the planetary logos when he expressed the desire to manifest and thus invoked and brought to himself the substance needed for his designed expression. that started the chain of being or of hierarchy; inter-relation was then set up between all "substantial" units; the more potent and the more dynamic and greater could then impress the lesser and the weaker until gradually as the aeons swept by the seven centres were created and were in close impress

eventual experience and final expression. it is also that which the other three aspects shield, and which the seven principles (expressing themselves as vehicles) protect. there are seven of these "points" or "jewels" expressing the sevenfold nature of consciousness, and as they are brought one by one into living expression, the seven subrays of the dominating monadic ray are also one by one made manifest, so that each initiate-disciple is (in due time) a son of god in full and outer glory. the time comes when the individual etheric body is submerged or lost to sight in the light emanating from these seven points and coloured by the light of the "jewel in the lotus" in the head, the thousand petalled lotus. each centre is then related by a line of living fire and each is then in full divin

. there is no point of attainment at which the initiator says to the initiate: now you know, and therefore you can work. rather it is: now you serve and work, and in so doing you are embarked upon a new and difficult voyage of discovery; you will discover reality progressively and arrive at whole areas of expression, because you serve. resulting from this service, certain powers and energies will manifest, and your ability to use them will indicate to you, to your fellow initiates and to the- 195- discipleship in the new age- volume ii copyright 1998 lucis trust world that you are a worker, fully conscious upon the inner side of life. the initiate works from his place upon that inner side. during the early stages of the initiatory process he works in the world of meaning. after the third i

ALICE A BAILEY23 THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY

e fact that great and frequently devastating forces have been let loose upon the earth, and that the effect is a cause of grave concern to all the masters, their disciples and workers. the difficulty can, in the main, be traced back to the overstimulation and the undue strain placed upon the mechanism of the bodies, which the world of souls (in physical incarnation) have to employ as they seek to manifest on the physical plane and so respond to their environment. the flow of energy, pouring through from the astral plane and (in a lesser degree) from the lower mental plane, is brought in contact with bodies that are unresponsive at first, and over-responsive later; it pours into brain cells which, from lack of use, are unaccustomed to the powerful rhythm imposed upon them; and humanity's eq

ll forms of the divine life, so that he can know himself to be an integral part of that whole and can tune in on all states of divine awareness, knowing for himself (and not just theoretically) that they are also his own states of awareness. he can then penetrate into the divine arcana of knowledge, share in the divine omnipresence and at will express the divine omniscience and prepare himself to manifest in full consciousness the divine omnipotence. i am using words which are futile to convey the underlying meaning of the word. understanding can only be arrived at when a man lives the word, hearing its soundless sound and breathing it forth in a vital life-giving breath to others. the masses are hearing the sound of the a.u.m. and, in their higher brackets, are finding that a.u.m. the exp

of his nature, and he likewise represents the point at which humanity now finds itself. his early name was alkeides, which was changed to hercules after he had undergone a strange experience, and before he started forth upon his labors. the name hercules was originally herakles, which signifies "the glory of hera. hera represents psyche, or the soul, so his name embodied his mission, which was to manifest forth in active work on the physical plane the glory and the power of his innate divinity. one of the ancient scriptures of india says "by mastery of the binding life comes radiance" and it was this mastery of the imprisoning form which was the glorious consummation of all the undertakings of hercules. we are told that he had a divine father and an earthly mother and so, as with all sons

has reached the point where he can achieve knowledge of himself and can begin to investigate the hidden forces of nature. this is the problem of all disciples. the next episode in his career is his marriage and the birth of three children, a symbolic way of expressing the truth that he made at-one-ment with psyche, the soul. from that union [22] the three aspects of the soul were born or began to manifest themselves. he began to know the nature of the spiritual will and to use it in the directing of his life. he experienced the workings of spiritual love and became conscious of the need to serve. spiritual mind began to reveal truth to him and he saw the underlying purpose. these are the higher correspondences of the three aspects of the personality, his mind, his emotional nature, and his

gle eye about which we have been speaking, the eye of shiva, the bull's eye in the constellation taurus. for hercules himself was not only the disciple, but he was, in his lower nature, the bull, and in his higher nature the cyclops. when the bull of desire has been handed over to the cyclops, to the initiate with the single eye, which is himself, the soul, the three divine aspects, will begin to manifest: brontes, steropes and arges will guard the sacred bull, and hercules, the disciple, will no longer have any responsibility. brontes is the symbol of the first aspect of god, the father who spoke and is the creative sound. steropes means lightning, or light, and is the second aspect, the soul. arges means whirling activity, the third aspect of divinity, expressing itself in the intense ac

tual life, spasmodic efforts at selfdiscipline, at prayer and meditation, precede, almost inevitably, this real and steady effort. the visionary must become a man of action: desire has to be carried forward into the world of completion, and herein lies the test in gemini. the physical plane is the place where experience is gained and where the causes, initiated in the world of mental effort, must manifest and achieve objectivity. it is the place also where the mechanism of contact is developed, where, little by little, the five senses open up to the human being new fields of awareness and present to him fresh spheres for conquest and achievement. it is the place, therefore, where knowledge is gained, and where that knowledge must be transmuted into wisdom. knowledge, we know, is the quest

y, as hercules did start on the fivefold search [71] the first stage of that search is full of encouragement for them, had they been able to recognize the happening. like hercules, they meet nereus, the symbol of the higher self, and, later on in the history of the disciple, he is the symbol of the teaching master. when contacted, especially in the early stages of the search, the higher self will manifest as a flash of illumination, and lo! it is gone; as a sudden realization of truth, so elusive, so fleeting, that at first the disciple cannot grasp it; as a hint dropped into the consciousness in moments of one-pointed attention, when the mind is held steady and the emotions temporarily cease to control. in the case of a more advanced disciple who has established contact with his soul and

FELDMAN DANIEL QABALAH THE MYSTICAL HERITAGE OF THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM

ally a difference within itself. this difference is said to spontaneously arise as a sort of whim of the divine to know itself. in the mystical qabalah, the difference within itself is alluded to by a doctrine that distinguishes the mysterious unknown (ayn) as having two aspects described as faces. one is called vast face, denoting a station of infinite consciousness devoid of differentiation and manifest activity. the other is called small face, denoting a station of finite consciousness encompassing all differentiated, manifest activity. small face is also the immense i-ness of the divine personality endowed with all possible attributes. when this i-ness is turned outward to the creation in the lower worlds, it is stationed in the consciousness that i am all. when this i-ness is turned i

r worlds, it is stationed in the consciousness that i am all. when this i-ness is turned inward and centered in the upper worlds, it has the exclusive awareness that i am nothing (ayn. in this sense, vast face can be thought of as a cosmic mind in which an infinite number of small face waves 8- f e of ideas can arise from and return to nowhere like a dream, and in which all name and form emanate, manifest, and dissolve. in the qabalah, the lord hvhy is the immense i-ness that knows itself as pure being in the unmanifest supernal realm, and pervades everything from elohim down to the lowest creature in the lower worlds of manifestation. this supreme, unifying i-ness is worshipped in christianity as christos, in islam as allah, and in the tantras as the divine mother kali. it is worshipped i

or avalokiteshvara, in taoism as the divine mother kwan yin, and in the polynesian kahuna tradition as the goddess pele.9 an individual with this level of awareness directly perceives the innate identity of themselves and all beings with that one indwelling spirit. the perspective of unqualified non-dualism in the qabalah is that the ayn alone exists and all separate existence is illusory, that a manifest creation on all its levels has no basis in reality, and that all the shells of embodied existence are empty.10 it cannot be underscored strongly enough that these three distinctions exist only within the finite human intellect. they are not mutually exclusive doctrines, but represent a gradation in consciousness. all aspirants will be attracted to one of these perspectives according to th

dy and practice of the mystical qabalah, it would be reasonable and balanced to point out that there is some inherent danger in the overzealous pursuit of qabalistic disciplines. many of the problems arise when aspirants are misled by unqualified teachers, have pre-existing mental imbalances, or when aspirants engage in activities related to the side columns of the tree of life. problems can also manifest when individuals underestimate the power of the root mantra and do too much too soon. on the other hand, relatively few problems have been seen in individuals who have the guidance of a qualified mentor and engage in a slow and steady progression through the purely yogic disciplines associated with the mystical qabalah '0* 2$ the qabalah is traditionally traced back to adam and eve. it ha

contained in the first verse of torah b reshith. in this light, it can then be said that the hebrew calendar of seven thousand years spans the entire life of this universe in matter, which is currently estimated 8- f e 0 to be twenty billion years. the implication of this idea is that the sequence of events in torah b reshith, all of which are assumed to occur in one plane of existence, actually manifest as a nonlinear space-time sequence occurring in more than one plane. time-space is exponentially expansive in each successive plane of existence. perhaps the reader has had the experience of an elaborate dream that seemed to span a long period of time, maybe years, only to wake up and find out that it actually occurred in a manner of minutes. consider also the oft-told story of a person s

ogy is everywhere the master key of all spiritual mysteries, and, although masonry and catholicism do not begin till we arrive at the earth period, they have their prototype in the earlier periods; we shall therefore briefly touch upon the essential facts. in the saturn period, the earth-in-the-making was dark; heat, which is the manifestation of the ever invisible fire, was the only element then manifest; embryonic mankind was mineral-like, the only lower kingdom of evolving life. unity was everywhere observable, and the lords of mind who were human then, were at one among themselves. in the western wisdom teaching we speak of the highest initiate of the saturn period as the father. in the sun period the root of a new element, air, was evolved, and coalesced with the true fire, which, mar

e are more and more degrees of independence and uniqueness as we move down the emanation ladder. so, for example, by the time we reach the astral worlds, there are millions of spirits of varying characters and forms, each unique. none are absolutely good and evil but there are variations in their attitude towards man. while these spirits have their own unique essence and expression, the form they manifest in is due to us, not to them. they are clothed by the language and mythology of our cultures, heritage and traditions. we should always keep this in mind when dealing with different symbol systems, it is not the letter that is the most relevant, but the spirit. it is too easy to confuse the images of the divine as found in literature and myth with the reality and become locked in forms wh

ons regarding reincarnation, we need to consider the major issue. many schools of reincarnation seem to suggest that we are little gods skipping from one life to another collecting experiences, much like some semi-divine travelling salesperson. however, this is again simply another ludicrous misconception perpetuated by those who know little. since the gnostic maintains that the self cannot fully manifest in the degenerate form which is the physical body, then it is logical to suggest than in most of humanity the self is in a type of hibernation. if this is so, then it seems unlikely that it can it pass from life to life. since self only exists in potential (prior to entering the spiritual path, then the prevalent view of reincarnation seems to be in error. however the question obviously a

in the transfiguration process. for the gnostic to explore and learn within the spiritual worlds he must have a spiri- tual body or vehicle. hence a major task within the process of transfigura- tion is to formulate a body of light from the electromagnetic field. this light body exists in potential within the etheric and astral fields, but only through the trained use of the imagination can it be manifest;this light body is known as the antakarana. the antakarana the sanskrit word antakarana has no equivalent in english, the closest definition we can come to is the process of building a psychic antenna. it literally comes from two words antar meaning inner and karana meaning action. the antakarana is literally the body formed by spiritual action. it is the stage where the instincts and ele

and the invisible heart of the mysteries. such is the way of midnight's lightning! the spirit-bestowed vision that reveals itself to the mind of the seeker incepts and passes the power for the lineage which we may call 'the unique transmission. whether within the conclaves of a formal ritual catena of initiates or in the subtil 'cavern' of solitary practice, whether called forth by intent or made manifest by a sudden epiphany of the gods, the power of revelation is bestowed solely to its chosen vehicle, the divinely-elected individual, and there-in it 'incarnates- as a faculty, an opening of the inner eye that directly apprehends the mysteries. for certain individuals there is an innate capacity to comprehend the mysteries of the witanic path, to understand without learning. such may be an

ation for a wayfarer to realise the union of the twain: the non-dual path of the double-way. because of this dual emphasis, it is considered that only those with the capacity for receiving teachings and who bear the marks of 'unique transmission- whatever the degree of manifestation- should be invited into the formal sodality. a witch born to the path may still spend many years struggling to make manifest that which lies within and yet by vertu of the traditional rites an uncommon fate may be swiftly seized; unto such individuals the process of tuition is in truth a path of remembrance: a reclamation of ancient birthright. mystery rites: the lineages of magistry a customary demonstration of 'attaining the dragon's horns (the union of unique transmission and lineal empowerment) is for an in

GRIFFIN DAVID MAGICAL EVOCATION OF THE AVERSE FORCES

frequently completely unobserved and unnoticed. who has not experienced being "carried away" by a strong emotion, like anger, which colors consciousness temporarily with nearly irresistible power? who has not said, at one time or another "i just don't know what came over me" indeed, unconscious forces play a far more active and fundamental role in day-to-day life then we are normally aware. they manifest autonomously, in response to stimuli in the environment, and independently of our will and awareness. it is the task of the major adept to grow in awareness of, to make conscious, and to master these forces. from this perspective, magical evocation bears a certain resemblance to the process of psychotherapy, since it involves the bringing of unconscious contents to light. by evoking the a

evoking the averse forces into the triangle of art, the magician brings them into the light of consciousness, virtually comes to see them, and attempts learn about their nature, function, and mode of operation in the process. before the evocation, this had remained completely unconscious or, so to speak, in the darkness. with time, the adept learns to quickly recognize these forces whenever they manifest in his or her day-to-day life and to direct their operation to the service of greater psychic unity 5 and harmony. as israel regardie put it "no longer are they [the demons] independent spirits roaming the astral world, or partial systems roaming the unconscious, disrupting the individual's conscious life. they are brought back once more into the personality where they become useful citiz

accuse us "that in the west, consciousness is cut off from its roots" there can be no lotus flower without the root in the dark slime. our fear and condemnation of the dark and demonic in the west have led to a condition wherein the 9 unconscious, instinctual aspects of the divine have been diabolized, shunned, and feared. thus repressed, these forces take on a twisted sort of autonomy and indeed manifest in a fashion disruptive to consciousness. therefore, the magician extracts an oath of obedience from the demon as the climax of the evocation. in rosicrucian magic, the demon does not swear this oath to the ego of the magician. such an oath would be like the demonic pacts described in certain grimoires and would place the magician's ego in great peril, likely leading to inflation, obsessi

10 in his book, mathematical principles of natural philosophy (1687, isaac newton (1642-1727) proposed a theory of mechanics that would let us calculate the change in the motion of any body when influenced by a given force. the success of newton s theory presented a whole new worldview. newton s deterministic viewpoint stated that in any event, regardless of its nature, a certain natural law will manifest. the presence of the divine was of little importance because the trajectory of all motion is fixed, and there was no intervention by the divine. the deterministic approach was well described by the astronomer, pierre simon laplace (1749-1827) as he sought to explain to napoleon how our solar system had been formed. when napoleon asked him about god s place in the process, laplace replied:

o receive consists of 613 desires, and each of these is topped either by an aim to receive, or b u i l d i n g t h e s p i r i t ua l k l i( v e s s e l/ t o o l) 115 an aim to give. these forms of reception or bestowal that cover each desire determine one s degree of spiritual attainment. a degree is a certain level of strength of the form of bestowal. this enables the benefits of the creator to manifest within the will to receive. the diverse fillings within the will to receive are the origin of the many names of the creator. it is the perceiving individual who names the creator according to the flavors he or she feels within the creator s bestowal. once the kabbalists attained the nature of reality and studied it, they divided the manner of recognition of reality into four levels: matte

ntains also the universal brotherhood, and sets before our companions the noblest of ideals. the entire symbol is surrounded by the circle, the emblem of god himself, the eternal reality behind and within all things unchanging, yet containing all the elements of change. of this circle it may be truly said that it has its centre everywhere and its circumference nowhere; for it is omnipresence made manifest in symbol. furthermore, the circle enshrines a profound truth of creation. it is generated by radiation from a centre; that is to say, its circumference is determined by the limits of the rays going out from the centre in all directions. it is this radiation which in the deepest sense constitutes the circle itself; for centre and circumference are but alternating moments in the process of

imultaneously in all its parts, and thus are led to realize that time is but our distorted vision of eternity. 770. again, the symbol of the circle teaches us the mighty rhythm of creation; all things go forth from the centre of unity to the circumference of multiplicity, and then return once more to that unity whence they sprang. this is the eternal breath of god, the breath of creation which is manifest throughout the entire universe, in the life of man with its cycle of existence from childhood through manhood to old age, and in nature with its alternations of day and night and the rhythmic flow of seasons. in this connection it is of interest to note how many words denoting spirit in different languages primarily mean breath- spiritus in latin, pneuma in greek, ruach in hebrew, atma in

iation, the holy spirit who is the source of divine activity, creating the manifoldness of things as it goes forth from the centre; the divine love is shown forth in the circumference of the circle, uniting all separated creatures in the very bond of peace. this threefold nature of the divine is present throughout all creation, in every object and in every creature. in our own consciousness it is manifest in the spiritual will, the intuitional wisdom and the creative intelligence which are three aspects or modes of the spirit of man, made in the image and likeness of his creator. in the universe around us we see it as the three qualities of manifestation- inertia, mobility and rhythm, known in hindu philosophy as the three gunas, and in western philosophy as space or extension, time or cha

MEANING OF MASONRY

l ask you to reflect that no building of stone, no temple or other edifice capable of being built with hands, has remained unfinished through the death of any professional architect such as hiram abiff is popularly supposed to have been. the principles of architecture, the genuine secrets of the building trade, are not and never have been lost; they are thoroughly well known, and the absurdity is manifest of supposing that masons of any kind are waiting for time or circumstances to restore any lost knowledge as to the manner in which temporal buildings ought to be constructed. we know how to erect buildings to-day quite as well as our hebrew forefathers did who built the famous temple at jerusalem, and indeed a well known architect has stated that most of our london churches are, both for

and grown in the european psyche for generations, stretching some thousands of years. the same is true with lycanthropy, shape shifting and the darker aspects of witchcraft. lycanthropy is closely connected with the dual aspects of sex and death, as is vampirism. the lunar current which the sorcerer opens and becomes aligned with is based on the aspect of hidden desire and lustful atavisms which manifest in the spirit and form of a wolf, owl, cat and other such animal. lycanthropy can be a useful exercise and individual power points which can be used effectively on the astral plane. this book is meant as a grimoire for the balanced sorcerer. the purpose of this being to offer further guidance and present a serious form of shadow magick and sorcery which has long been kept hidden. the blac

the process of deprogramming and training of will are very significant. it is dangerous, as well as foolish, for the individual to go forth into this region of darkside magick without deprogramming themselves. it entails the risk of further burying atavisms, and making oneself vulnerable to vampiric possession. elementals who are created and normally exist within the vampire current, will seek to manifest outside the dream sphere' before one can attempt to change their surroundings and work their magickal will, one must master the self on each level. for this reason, a number of banishing rituals should be performed on several levels. this includes goetic (5) and enochian banishing rituals, etc. this is only a basic start to the world of shadows. to begin to understand the basis of vampiri

MICHAEL W FORD THE VAMPIRE GATE

e realm of the luciferian ideology and practice outlined in lucferian witchcraft, liber hvhi and book of the witch moon. this dark magickal path is not necessarily a path which all luciferians must seek, but if the spirit is within them, they may do so. this ideological process stands on the foundations that: 1. you are the only god that is. 2. all deific masks, archetypes, powers or spirits must manifest through you. therefore, to remain in your consciousness, you must be the strongest to keep your foundation identity. see #1. 3. as a luciferian your primary focus is the retention of knowledge that through experience it becomes wisdom, with that the assumption of power first internally and then externally as you see fit. the vampyre magickian is indeed luciferian, there is no difference i

upon. the astral plane is the next level of experience, where consciousness or the psyche is cloaked and released from the flesh limitations of this world. the foundations of vampirism within the practice of luciferian witchcraft are based within the study and conventional understanding of the odic force, qi, chi or astral energy. understanding the concept and study of this process is fully made manifest in the process of vampirism and the absorbing of energy. qi is the far eastern concept of spiritual life force, or energy. this word is commonly referred to or related to the word air which can mean astral energy as well. one of the earliest mentioning of qi is in the analects of confucius composed around 479 b.c. the concept of qi or chi is indeed lifebreath, the essence of life itself

dragons and vampirism. vampirism is a concept which begins in the subconscious. it is a power which hungers, that which seeks to consume all. it has no concern for rules or for the spiritual laws it is the essence of the law of the talon. this very hunger is related to az or lilith, symbolically tiamat, it is the hunger for continued existence in this physical or spiritual world. this hunger, is manifest in our desire to achieve our goals in this life to possess life and to become masters of this world. this is why the symbols in luciferian witchcraft are strong belial, the lord of the earth is one such symbol of power and strength. predatory spirituality, the instinctual spiritual faith of devouring and absorbing spirits via the practice of magick, defines the characteristics of the luci

how can one make the best of their life? how does one find the strength to mutate into something else? what is a luciferian, a satanist, a vampire. here, i will attempt to describe the essence, what you will find in those born into this path. those who understand the 19 beauty in destruction and creation. those who balance spiritual hope, desire and equal it with their creative will to become and manifest their wishes on earth. this short tome will be hated; humans hate the idea of something better or the possibility of self improvement. save it for a new year some will say, this year i will lose weight, this year i will finish this project, you hear the sheep sound this off. yet they always fall into the possibility which they strive for failure. tiamat it all starts with the acknowledgem

ve forward. transformation over time will change the course and mode of initiation, but the aim will be the same power and spiritual continuation. qlippothic vampyrism holds relevance to the vampyre magickian as it is a state of delving the depths of the subconscious and as some considered the infernal realms from which the subconscious mind opens to. the archdemons and qlippothic servitor demons manifest in the earth in numerous ways; however the very role in which they manifest is different than the archdemons. for instance, the archdemons rule the specific qlippothic spheres in a transcendent manner, that is, invisible to us to us but relations are made through invocation and the assumption of the spirit. the qlippothic servitors or demons can be evoked and made visible or more associat

comfort and consolation. so it is written. as a priest or priestess of mendes, you will learn many things about the true prince of darkness and the forces under his control. much will become clear to you that has heretofore seemed obscure or incomprehensible. that which inspires you will turn your entire universe to your advantage, if you but make the effort to recognize the signals which will be manifest to you "all this power will i give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever i will i give it" and finally, an admonition: if you accept the priesthood in good faith and subsequently decide that you cannot sustain the powers which have been bestowed upon you, you will be free to resign your office with honor and impunity. if, however, you deliberately m

ne angles. initiation, whilst essentially being individual, that is, focusing upon the individuality of the new initiate which will therefore determine specific events that he or she may undergo, means that the individual will, by virtue of his or her initiation, add to the larger sinister tradition of which he/she is now a member. examples of this role are found in the development of new ways to manifest the sinister energy of the tradition. art, music, philosophy, politics and literature are all examples of this creative expression that the new initiate is eventually expected to develop further, a development that should essentially imbue within the creation the energy of the dark gods themselves. the black mass the most infamous satanic ritual is the rite known as the black mass. the de

still remains one of the most potent and blasphemous rites of black magic. one form of modern blasphemy is the mass of heresy of the order of nine angles. the theory behind this mass is based upon the assumption that christianity has produced an effect not only on the magical or psychic level of human life but also on the sociological level. this social aspect of christianity is considered to be manifest mainly in the political forms of communism and liberalism. the concept of equality of races and sexes, the goal of eternal peace and the upholding of jewish state from which christianity is assured a firm foundation in its holy birthplace, all amount to a holy crusade according to satanists. the need for a new form of the black mass, one that frees the psyche of the protagonists from the

04-03 the second form of the rite of nine angles, known as the cthonic form, is performed with the addition of a congregation who hold an orgy after the rite whilst the priest and priestess vibrate specific words of power and trained cantors chant a particularly difficult and elaborate sinister chant. the energy from the orgy is used to enhance the presencing of the dark gods who are then said to manifest. the changes of consciousness that may occur through such a rite can be equated on one level with the creation of the antichrist, that is, the satanist who absorbs the power brought forth through the ritual becomes akin to the antichrist, an individual who embodies the power of the dark gods of the sinister tradition. such an individual is considered to be, on a psychic level, a gateway t

with darkness whilst continually chanting the word "chaos" entrance into the abyss, if successful, will result in changes of consciousness that will culminate in the individual himself becoming such a gate between the two worlds. speaking less esoterically this means that the individual will, by virtue of the changes in consciousness that include the crystallisation of the astral body, be able to manifest magical energies without recourse to the procedure of magical ritual. symbolism is therefore no longer necessary although it may still be used by the new master or mistress. the third interpretation of the abyss comes from the society of dark lily who teach that it is symbolic of the journey from initiate to adepthood. as such, the satanist passes through the abyss over a long period of t

e or darker energies before he or she is ready. preparation for such invocation is a lengthy process. cathartic rites such as the black mass may be of use here, where the individual re-programmes his or her mind and emotions in order to free him or herself from the unconscious influence of repression, morality and guilt. if there is doubt or uncertainty within the satanist's mind the energies may manifest in a manner that is detrimental to the satanist. many people consider the examples of individuals using black magic, ouija boards and so forth as always causing harm to the individuals themselves, but this is a misunderstanding, since the individual using such methods must undergo a process of catharsis in order to remain in conscious control of the forces summoned. it is for this reason

ine as a hidden creative power, not yet released into existence. within the soul lies the place where the spellbound god may return to life. the soul is the mother who can receive the divine seed from nature. if the soul allows herself to be impregnated by nature she will give birth to the divine. out of the marriage of the soul with nature the divine is born, no longer a hidden god but something manifest, alive palpably alive and moving among humankind. in human beings the mysteries and mysteriosophy 21 the spirit has been released from enchantment; yet it is the offspring of the spellbound god. he is not the great god who was, and is, and shall be, yet he may in a certain sense be taken as a revelation of him. the father remains at rest in the unseen. the son is born to human beings out

coming-into-being is the resurrection of god from the tomb. and within this development the human being appears. plato demonstrates that with the appearance of the human being something unique enters in. now of course for plato the whole world is itself a divine being, and humanity is not more divine than other beings. but in other beings god is present only in a hidden manner, in humanity god is manifest. the timaeus concludes with the words: we can now claim that our account of the universe is complete. for our world has now received its full complement of living creatures, mortal and immortal; it is a visible living creature; it contains all creatures that are visible and is itself an image of the intelligible; and it has thus become a visible god, supreme in greatness and excellence, b
