its essence. those who are without move only in curved space, i.e: in the mundane space/time continuum. but those with the power to penetrate the veil and go beyond the barrier can move in angled space, i.e. the realms of the nine angles. the angles have power over the rings, just as consciousness can have dominion over nature. the seal contains three separate types of figures: the pentagram, the trapezoid, and the ring(s, two angled and two curved. each of these three figures are important and unique elements in the complex all are needed to convey the information and no one of them can serve in the stead of an other. the pentagram is the sign of the five- of human consciousness which is a reflection of the principle of isolate intelligence, called by the name set. the trapezoid, which is

which is a reflection of the principle of isolate intelligence, called by the name set. the trapezoid, which is the sign of the four, is the link between the worlds. note that there could be construed two trapezoids, one contained within the inner circle and defined by the four upper points of the pentagram. this would be the link between the body and consciousness, while the other and principal trapezoid is that which is extended to the boundary of the objective universe- and which acts as the link between the psyche of the individual and the objective universe. finally there are the circles. the outer circle is that of the objective universe, while the inner circle is that of the carnal body of the individual. the seal in operation as always we must ask: what use is all this either to m

etation of the seal i now turn. the tracing of the nine angles during correspondence on this topic, sir setnakt drew my attention to the pythagorean aspect of the bond of the nine angles; the notes of the grand master emeritus on the seal of nine treat this pythagorean symbolism in detail. a brief summary follows. the bond of the nine angles distinguishes the first four angles associated with the trapezoid from the subsequent five angles of the pentagram. the first four angles are closely identified with lovecraftian neters, or forms, establishing the fundamental character of our consciousness: azathoth's chaos, the dualistic and dimensional ordering defined by yog- sothoth, nyarlathotep's message of consciousness and the endurance of shub-niggurath who defines temporal perspective. the co

TECHNICIANS GUIDE TO THE LEFT HAND PATH

ces. this is a term first coined by edward t. hall in his book the hidden dimension9, while hall s book dealt mainly with proxemics as an anthropological examination of the relationship between culture and of each man s territory. the concept was later extrapolated upon and further developed within a lhp initiatory paradigm by dr. michael a. aquino in his groundbreaking essay for the order of the trapezoid entitled, proxemic magic8. i, myself, further developed and noted the particulars of various mechanisms that could create changes within these environments upon the initiate him/herself. this was developed from the perspective of the incomplete self in my work with harmonic proportion, tonal angularity and neuronic tracing. proxemics, as it is understood within this particular lhp paradi

pted by the acceptance of most practitioners of both the black arts, and occultists in general, that the actual mechanism responsible for magic was largely unknowable in practical terms. this was something i called the ooga-booga factor. it was an unacceptable act of faith where method was not preceded by knowledge. i had the intuition and magical experience (plus the archives of the order of the trapezoid) to have a sophisticated understanding of the artifically created environments of the ritual chamber. it was through the ritual imagery and atmospheric conditioning found in ritual chambers that i wanted to explore aspects of my question regarding what makes magic work. i also felt that trapezoidal oriented ritual, particularly those employing a variety of angular motifs (and often compl

shape into consciousness. i found that there were three types of cells contained within the eye- simple, complex and hyper-complex. depending upon which of these cells was being activated, the information was routed to a certain brain section for processing. it was the shape which activated one of these three types of cells into operation. the following extract from my essay for the order of the trapezoid entitled neuronic tracing and the physiology of angular prosthesis very clearly defines the differentiation involved and its unique possibilities, i have added some simple clarifications noted within parentheses: the physical paths these simple, complex, and hyper-complex cells follow lie at varying depths within the brain s physical tissues. hyper-complex cells (those which respond sole

we have a element- the angles- that we know are processed by that portion of the brain responsible for the higher functions of conscious man. the angles stimulate activity within the cerebral cortex, but what are the contents of this stimulation? anton szandor lavey, the author of the satanic bible summarized the stimulus effects of angular mechanisms through another lhp law called the law of the trapezoid. it states: all obtuse angles are magically harmful to those unaware of this property. the same angles are beneficial, stimulating, and energizing to those who are magically sensitive to them. in general, we can observe from the law of the trapezoid that angles create polarities within the psyche. if an individual is aware of this ability- the beneficial, stimulating and energizing prope

) the concept was developed as follows: in 1986, i coined a term which described the ability of particular frequency ratios which could polarize the contents of an individual's personal, subjective impressions to+ or- degrees of emotional intensity. i called this phenomena "tonal angularity" a term which reflects the relationship of this concept to the "psychomagical" principles of the law of the trapezoid, and also to the physical, mathematical properties of the particular ratios that comprised ta (tonal angularity..tonal angularity refers to specific frequencies in the form of physics (harmonic motions, electrical phenomena (magnetic resonance) and in geometry (visual angular representations) all of which can be rendered to (proportionate) frequencies. in my own case, i created the initi

the careful tuning of the primary coil. the actual resonant frequency was measured by a friend of mine who was a tech for ibm. finally i engineered a series of combinative frequencies whose total sum was equivalent to the desired range. tonal angularity is a pseudo-science approach in creating altered states of subjective responsesbased largely upon the psychomagical principles of the law of the trapezoid. ta is based upon specific frequencies which may be represented in a number of forms. tonal angularity can be embeddded within music, but it is not a specific style or form of music. the function of ta is in its' ability to influence an environment through subtle shifts in the inner subjective perceptions of those within its' range of influence. additionally, it can be vital in the creat

l, everyday external and internal environments. the ability to create atmospheres separate from typical everyday environmental stimulus is crucial for any would be adept of the lhp to master. given the preceding, an environment can be created that is extremely profuse- on several sensory levels- with angular proportions. these multiform angular prosthetics can- due to the effect of the law of the trapezoid- create microproxemic atmospheres of severe intellectual and psyche separation from every day stimulus. this is due to an additive effect that occurs only if the various elements are constitutionally synchronized to the appropriate angular proportion. here our discussions start to become more complex, but the ideas are of utilitarian value.if the reader takes their time with the followin

s. quality- quality is that determinateness which is one with the being of the object. if one can tune into this "determinateness" they resonate or fall into the timing of the extension of those qualities. it can be seen that the ability to exhilarate and stimulate through a resonant environment is a very good description of the processes (note: energy) involved in the dynamics of the "law of the trapezoid, and also of the "command to look. it is thus that resonant environments have played such an important part within magical prosthetics. however, that aside, it is very important for every individual dedicated to the left hand path to understand that resonance forms a cornerstone of technical knowledge that is of great value to the initiatory process. the intrinsic value lies in that with

irst, the rite of what is to be which utilizes sr in the form of audio white noise, exists as one of the more powerful and stimulating ritual experiences any lhp adept can participate within. these workings are always transformative in some manner (not always positive) and the reason for the power of this rite lies within its very precise and intelligent use of angularism (remember the law of the trapezoid, and mechanical resonance. additionally it contains elements where sound and light are synchronized to brain wave frequencies add in the resonant variant, stochastic resonance, and it is a rite that has everything. stochastic resonance is a phenomena of physics, its principles are frequently utilized in scientific research.the properties of stochastic resonance that are capable of manufa
