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

ral. the traditional view of history is at variance with this approach, it is inevitably cyclic and emphasises the ebbs and flows of culture. while the cycle may return to itself, the focus is on decline rather than on development. within the norse traditions the gods are ultimately destroyed at ragnorak and a new cycle of manifestation, conflict and resolution begins. while within gnosticism the omega day ends the cycle and a new heaven and new earth begins. the vedic system outlines this cycle in far more detail, the whole of creation is governed by a series of cyclic processes, these range from the days and nights of brahma (the creative force) to the yugas or epochs. the sanskrit names for the four ages are krita or satya yuga, treta yuga, dvapara yuga and kali yuga. the krita or satya

aim of the gnosis, the transformation of lead into gold, man into god, the transfiguration of the student from a seeker of the mysteries to a partaker of the gnosis. in the past such experiences have remained largely unexplored, they have been dimensions only dreamed of by madman, experienced by mystics, mastered by gnostic theurgy page 6 magicians and embodied by avatars. however, today, as the omega day fast approaches, we offer the challenge of uncharted dimensions and new worlds, which can not only be explored, but used to develop undreamed of levels of post-human potential. x gnostic theurgy page 7 what is truth? this is a question that is central to understanding life as we know it. it is never an easy question to answer. two thousand years ago pilate asked jesus the same question a

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

nd beyond the timeline is perfection, the treasury of light (we will return to this soon, the end of the timeline is the omega day or the apocalypse, the timeline itself is formed by the various stages of human development, while the alpha event is how time, space and matter began. it is not the point where or when everything began, but only the point ages or yugas. figure one the alpha event the omega day gnostic theurgy page 14 at which time and matter began. this is an important point as the central questions for the gnostic are all related to the concept of time. how did the present system develop? what caused space, time and matter? by association what caused pain, suffering and death? for if there is time, there is entropy and therefore there is decay, suffering and finally cessation

to represent the flow of time, the conflict between matter and spirit becomes obvious (see fig 3) while the golden age of spirit was occurring in the higher worlds, matter was only just beginning to bubble and burst in the amoebic stew. as matter evolved further and further, spirit in inverse proportion has had less and less influence. as we reach towards the end of our hypothetical timeline (the omega point, matter has reached it highest pinnacle, while spirit is at its lowest ebb. if you doubt the validity of the comparison, turn on your television and watch the news at seven and weep. the alpha event explains why there is an ongoing battle between spirit and matter and why they work in inverse proportions. it also explains the grand plan behind nature itself. since nature is the result

n s ability to receive and utilise the solar currents is conditioned. this symbiotic cycle continues as man and earth influence each other. as the kali yuga accelerates, the fallen systems tend towards destructiveness and both earth and man receive more and more negative energy. in turn, this negativity influences the system as a whole exponentially. the net result is a steady decline towards the omega day. the inter-dimensional nature of man the refraction model can also be applied to the nature of man, and helps us understand the reality which we experience. the human organism receives the negative and positive solar currents and radiates them through the matrix of being. in the human form this matrix varies depending on the level we are discussing, but is generally related to the brain

an a true identity be forged. the process by which this revolution is made is that of transfiguration. the mechanism is the will to power. the will to power this is the key to the reality of reincarnation. the self only exists as a projection of the karmic factors that are around it, and these factors repeat age after age, re-animating consciousness and recreating life as we understand it. at the omega day all consciousness is dissolved, for there will no longer be lower forms to contain it, only those who have been transfigured, those who have developed the higher will will survive. only those who have broken free from the cycles of eternal re-occurrence will ascend. this secret teaching formed one of the inner doctrines of the early esoteric schools. the original brahmins and buddhists t

transfiguration. when the angel becomes the centre of gnostic theurgy page 68 one's existence the animal and adept (and other related systems) fall into place. however, since we are in a fallen system, there will always be a battle until matter is finally rectified. even if the animal and adpe are forced into obedience, since matter by its very nature is demiurgic, the war will continue until the omega day. the idea of calling the higher self an angel or even better, the holy guardian angel (hga) is to destroy intellectual models and concepts. the term hga sounds so utterly ridiculous, so beyond the intellect, that it serves its purpose. it emphasises how alien our true self is to worldly definition. in the gnostic tradition there are three phases of coming into an experience of the true s

orm from a person of the flesh, to a being of spirit, from a slave of the archons to an aeon of light. for most of us, this transformation is not completed within our timeline (our allotted series of lives) and hence we have to wait until the end of the cosmic cycle, at which time the transfigured finally return to the treasury of light. accordingly, no one cannot actually be born again until the omega day, when those of the pleroma are finally and irreversibly changed from dialectic to static substance. this is confirmed in 1 john 3:9 where we read. whosoever is born of god doth not commit sin, for his seed remainth in him and he cannot sin, because he is born of god. 1 john 3:9 there a number of key concepts in this verse. firstly, the concept of seed is mentioned. this hints at the radi

ally speaking, there are many examples of these cults as opposing traditions, as reconciled in esoteric brotherhoods, or as corrupted by the demiurgic forces. it should be clearly stated that the earth cult can only be of value in connection with that of the sky, pagan movements (ancient and modern) which worship the earth are simply sustaining the dominion of the demiurge. as we head towards the omega day the value of the earth cult becomes less, anti-traditions and false earth cults take precedence, and reproduction and family becomes less and less justifiable. at the same time the need for transcendence becomes paramount. egypt we are sorely in need of a truth or self understanding similar to that of ancient egypt. carl jung. it is difficult to put a pin on the map for where the modern

xual encounters and the death of students through possession by the old ones certainly suggest that grant and many others are under the influence of the demiurgic kingdom. while we may think some of these occult occurrences are just madness, if we correlate the tales with the biblical story of fallen angels we begin to see a hauntingly similar pattern. we are moving at lightning speed towards the omega day and the gateway is opening, if you are not on the side of treasury of light (the elder gods, then you are fair-game for the old ones. perhaps some of the strange descriptions of the books of revelation and daniel are not that farfetched after all! gnostic theurgy page 220 the resurfacing of the gnosis as the heraldic period moves towards aquarius mankind is heading towards a new period o

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

technique of stepped relaxation by first tensing, then relaxing successively your left leg, right leg, left arm, right arm, pelvic region, lower torso, rib cage, shoulders, neck, jaw region, and head. allow yourself to float gently apart from your physical body for several minutes, as though drifting along in a boat on a river. draw a deep, regular breath. as you exhale, mentally sound the word "omega" in your mind, just as though you were vibrating it upon your voice. actually hear the word in your mind. pronounce it inwardly in three extended syllables that flow together without pause: inward concentration i: mantra 29 repeat in your mind this silent mantra when you inhale. keep your breaths even. resist the temptation to form the mantra in your throat-keep your throat relaxed. each tim

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