repression of the awakened mind. the enthusiasm of the driven conscious, charged with the bright luciferian light; leads all individuals towards god itself. lucifer is the fallen angel of light. born strong in the light of the god spirit, his crown held the most beautiful jewels from the earth. his essence was of the sun and divine wisdom and enlightenment shone throughout him. no other angel or seraphim was as bright as lucifer. as with all beings of light and will, a great fire emerged within lucifer. he sought to become as god, to rise towards godhead. thus the great rebel was born. standing against the holy hierarchy, lucifer gathered many of his fellow seraphim, leviathan, belial, astaroth, asmodeus/samael, mephistopheles, dagon, sorath/shaitan, beelzebub and a host of others to stan

hy, lucifer gathered many of his fellow seraphim, leviathan, belial, astaroth, asmodeus/samael, mephistopheles, dagon, sorath/shaitan, beelzebub and a host of others to stand in the light of selfgodhood and defy that which stood against individual phosphorus; the infinite possibility of existence. a great battle ensued, etheric and astral bodies were devoured and torn from aggressive attacks. the seraphim which sought the throne of god gave all under the flag of lucifer. nothing would stand in the way of individual freedom and the light of godhood; nothing is the basis for destruction and the beginning of creation. the morning star was rising, angelic hosts feared these bright beings. finally the holy angel michael (who will prove useful in healing magick) and his great horde overpowered t

enter the great abyss of non-form if such would remain for any period of time "i call ye forth to awake and arise as yourselves, gods in the light of heaven. hell is ours yet we must make a heaven within ourselves. the universe is kind and all we shall ever need will be provided as long as we are here to take it. stand up and join with me. the world can be ours under our light..awake" the fallen seraphim began to rise and take shape. they would scatter unto the various parts of the earth and abyss. from the ashes must the gods and goddesses rise. some descended further, some became as angels of light. leviathan and samael descended, lucifer became and angel of light. belial would become an earth bound spirit who would transform into a demon. astaroth, wandering the earth on a great dragon

s the primary goal, to rise towards godhead. the rite of lucifer was designed through my personal experience to affect the individual in several ways. change is often reversible if the self is not on the same level as the rest. this translate that change must happen on every molecular level. the whole must be impacted from all sides. lucifer is to be absorbed and forgotten. the fall is simply the seraphim descending into the flesh, the brain of the sorcerer. lucifer must be channeled into the spirit itself and become aligned with the holy guardian angel for a unity to be complete. productivity therefor rises and a strong sense of character is built even further. individuals who attempt these rites must already be of sound mind as the dangers of such if failure occurs are far too real. insa

nah. we then take it to the reader fs platform, i.e, malchut. reading the torah is revealing g-d fs will into the world, i.e, manifesting the divine insight of chochmah as developed into a new vision of reality in binah that is now ready to revitalize and re-inspire the world. we will now how this dynamic is manifest in the array of angels in the higher worlds. similarly, we find reference to the seraphim.which are cherubs.being in beriah, which is [associated with] binah, and to chayot being in yetzirah, and ofanim in asiyah. there are two seraphim, even though innumerable camps of millions [of angels are derived and] issue from them. they correspond to yud-kei, i.e, chochmah inside binah, which together enter beriah. the seraphim are the more gintellecutal h angels, who personify divine

f insight given into chochmah, and is thus associated with the world of atzilut. kah, as just stated, refers to chochmah within binah, the experience of beriah. havayah is associated with tiferet, the central of the six midot. tzevakot is associated with netzach and hod, which are manifest as g-d fs actions in the world of asiyah. these are [the two archangels] michael and gabriel, who are termed seraphim, and are the strength of the states of gevurah. 3 recall that names of angels that are not also used as names of people should not be pronounced. 4 berachot 7a. the arizal on parashat tetzaveh 349 binah is on the left side of the sefirah-tree, and therefore associated with gevurah; thus seraphim, the angels of beriah, are also associated with gevurah. in particular, the word seraph means

cluded in tiferet.this is three. the fourth is malchut, which issues from the back of tiferet; it is the fourth chayah [the names of the chayot are] michael, gabriel, nuriel, and raphael. they are all aspects of metatron, for he is the main chayah, while these [four] others are manifestations of him. they are the six extremities, which are the six vav fs, whose combined numerical value is 36. the seraphim are above them, as it is written, gseraphim were standing above him. h5 the word for ghim h in this verse is lo (lamed-vav, whose numerical value is (30+ 6) 36. thus, the verse may be read, gthe seraphim were standing above the 36. h the ofanim are below [these, in asiyah. in fact, there is only one ofan, as it is written, gand behold, there was one ofan on the earth, h6 but innumerable c

the serpent nehushtan, which moses made when the children of israel were bitten by serpents of fire in the wilderness, is the serpent of the paths of the tree. and he set it on a pole-that is, twined it round the middle pillar of the sephiroth. and the word used in the passage in numbers 21 for fiery serpents is the same as the name of the angels of geburah, the same spelling, the same pointing, seraphim. round the middle pillar of the sephiroth, because that is the reconciler between the fires of geburah or severity, and the waters of chesed or mercy-and hence it is said in the new <166> testament that it is a type of christ, the reconciler. and the serpent is of brass, the metal of venus, whose sphere is called nogah, or external splendour, as shewn further by the alchemical symbol of v

mobile or first mover, which bestoweth the &t of life in all things and filleth the whole universe. and eheieh is the name of the divine essence in kether; and its archangel is the prince of countenances-metatron or metraton, he who bringeth others before the face of god. and the name of its order of angels is called chaioth ha-qadesh, the holy living creatures, which are also called the order of seraphim. in chokrnah is a cloud-like grey which containeth various <194> colours and is mixed with them, like a transparent pearl-hued mist, yet radiating withal, as if behind it there was a brilliant glory. and the sphere of its influence is in masloth, the starry heaven, wherein it disposeth the forms of things. and yah is the divine ideal wisdom, and its archangel is rahiel, the prince or prin

ar and strength and slaughter, as it were, the flaming sword of an avenging god. and it ruleth the sphere of action of the planet mars. and elohim gibor is the elohim, mighty and terrible, judging and avenging evil, ruling in wrath and terror and storm, and at whose steps are lightning and flame. and its archangel is kamael the prince of strength and courage and the name of the order of angels is seraphim the flaming ones who are also called the order of powers. the sephira chesed is also called gedulah or magnificense and glory, and the sephira geburah is also called pachad terror and fear. in kether is the radix of a golden glory and thence is there a pure, primitive and sparkling, gleaming golden yellow which is reflected unto tiphareth. thus is thefirst reflected triad completed. and t

ight and darkness; which we call opposites, but are in fact the varying vibrations of the same things. the all is mind; the universe is mental. such may be seen in the various diagrams of the tree of life as developed by most of our world s spiritual traditions. all paradoxes are resolved by this knowledge. the first triad vibrate at the highest frequency, through the first three choirs. thus the seraphim are the purest, whilst the thrones are the point at which matter first appears. 1st choir: seraphim the fiery flying serpents of lightning, from the hebrew ser meaning higher being and rapha meaning healer. the name thus suggests the image of the caduceus, the serpent or dragon as a symbol of healing sacred to aesculapius, and the ourobouros of the gnostic ophites. their appearance before

d to heal the earth. the earth which furnishes a place for man, whom he also heals of his illnesses. in enoch i he is declared to be one of the four presences set over all the diseases and all the wounds in the children of men. he heals abraham of the pain of his (belated) circumcision, and in the prayer of joseph heals jacob of his wounded knee, sustained whilst fighting with uri-el. as with the seraphim, rapha-el is commonly associated with the serpent. he is a chief ruling over the second heaven, and the order of virtues, regent of the sun, and the angel of science and knowledge. guardian of the tree of life in eden, and according to his own admission in the book of tobit, one of the seven angels of the throne. although officially a virtue he has the six wings of a seraph, yet at the sa

TYSON DONALD SOUL FLIGHT

r prophecies is as much a matter of conjecture as the question of whether the spirits who spoke to joan of arc were saints or fairies. the astral journey of isaiah involves his great vision of the throne of god. in the final year of the reign of king uzziah, the prophet entered the presence of god, whom he perceived sitting on an elevated throne within a temple. above it stood the angels known as seraphim, each with six wings, chanting "holy, holy, holy is the lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory (isaiah 6:3. we know this vision involved astral projection because isaiah was actually present before the throne in his astral body. he protested that his lips were too unclean to repeat the words of god, so one of the seraphim flew down and took a live coal off the altar fire, whe

once they were acknowledged as prophets, and had accepted this role as their calling in life, it is possible they learned how to encourage the occurrence of these soul flights using chanted prayers and physical austerity. the astral landscape seen by ezekiel was inhabited by four strange angels who were characterized by the prophet as "living creatures (ezekiel 1:5. they had six wings, as did the seraphim seen by isaiah, but in addition they had four faces: that of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle. again, we can be certain it was a soul flight because god gave the prophet a book in the form of a written scroll and told him to eat it. ezekiel wrote "so i opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll (ezekiel 3:2. the prophet elijah is significant for another reason. he is one of only

places the word "holy (qdvsh) is repeated three times in succession. this repetition was regarded by kabbalists as of supreme significance. they called the verse in which it appears in isaiah the "kedushah" the sixth chapter of isaiah begins with a description of the heavenly throne of god, just like the fourth chapter of revelation. in isaiah, instead of four beasts with six wings each, the two seraphim, each with six wings, are described. it is the seraphim who cry "holy, holy, holy" here rather than the hieroglyphic monad 63 the beasts. however, there can be little doubt that the author of revelation drew upon the imagery of this chapter of isaiah. in the bahir, the kedushah is discussed at length (see bahir, secs. 126-31. it is said that in the mystery of the arrangement of the great
