[from http://home.earthlink.net/~charlesreese/HJPlainText/Multidimensional.txt ] Subject: Multidimensional Magick by Fra. 137 (copyright, Cabal of the Hawk and Jackal 93 AN; 1997 E.V Introduction We used to call the multidimensional Magick section Tesseract Magick, afte r the first of the major innovations in Magick developed by Hawk & Jackal. Since then we have begun doing work in dimensions beyond the fourth. Few people that practice Ceremonial Magick use the Pythagorean solids1, an d fewer still use the Hyper solids. Most people use only the plane symbols most commonly associated with Magick. The Pentagram ritual uses a plane f igure to represent, invoke, or banish the "elements" and their power. So h as the Pyramid also been used. The Hexagram, and sometimes the Septagram, has also been used for the technology of invoking or banishing the planets . The hyper solid of the Tesseract is used to invoke or banish the power of the dimensions, and they relate to the four elements of the ancients. The visualization of the hypersphere is used in the same way as the visua lization of the circle or the sphere have always been used. To enclose spa ce, differentiate between the within and the without. As a protective devi ce. The triangle, tetrahedron, and hypertetrahedron, are used to contain cert ain forces in their evocation, to contain the crystal in scrying, or in ce rtain circumstances to hold the Cup itself. These are the principle geometric forms that we have worked with extensive ly, although you may be able to extend the other Pythagorean solids2 to hi gher space. The Tesseract Working, which is a Mystic working leading to Magical effect s, is a group meditation. Usually one or more persons assist in the ritual s preceding the Working. A Star Ruby, Star Sapphire, and then The Adoratio ns, and then finally a Tesseract are done. This adjustment of the Elements , Planets, Stars, and Time is necessary to insure the safety and focus of the Group. The Tesseract could be the Tesseract Ritual or the Tesseract Wo rking depending on circumstances The first three workings are described elsewhere but the Tesseract Working itself is not. Each letter of the 22 letters that represent Spirit, as we ll as some of its correspondences and its placement among the Trumps of th e Tarot, are called out. Each is related in a sort of free-form story to i ts correspondences. Its place in the progression of dimensions is stated, so that the unconscious mind is led to think of a very difficult thing to visualize, a Tesseract. These stories vary between workings, the most cohe rent of them have the most power. In another place I may recount one that I have used more extensively, but each person may work out one or several on their own. When the coherence i s grasped the kingdom is complete. The unconscious will inform the conscio us when it is ready. The Tesseract will turn and fold into a Universe. We do not attempt to empower the conscious mind so much as we seek to empo wer the unconscious, which contains within itself the Superconscious and t he Subconscious. Understand that some people are afraid of the deep portions of their mind. Make sure you let them leave before they learn the key to the performance .3 Most of the mischief that I have seen done in this practice is caused by the warfare between these forces in an individual. Make your peace within before giving both sides this much power. Remember we evolve by moving for ward rather than up from down. Each aspect whether Demonic or Angelic is d evoted to this cause, personal evolution. Do not fight your demons and you r angels, it's bad for them, and rather stupid to be caught in the crossfi re. You are a demon to your Angel, an Angel to your demons. As the Tesseract is being performed by the Orator, all present concentrate their mind on the symbols being recited, and the dimensional progression building. When at the letter Tau is stated at the end, the letter that rep resents this Tesseract folded, the persons present shift their point of vi ew from the Universe that they were in, to another parallel universe that they have now arrived in. This "jump" is spoken of repeatedly in the Dialo gs . There are phenomenon that we should warn you of. Time will sometimes be pe rceived in a different way immediately before, during, or after a Tesserac t. This increases in the practice though the fear and uneasy feelings conc erning it go away in time and experience, rather like fear of flying. Precursor effects on reality are usually balanced by after-Tesseract even ts, and are often symmetrical with them. The effect can be sudden shifts i n time or space. Driving a hundred miles in less than 20 minutes. Going th rough the same stop twice in the same direction on a public transit system . Losing the entire day, someone once skipped their birthday. Distortions in space. Being able to perceive beyond a closed door to the extent that y ou walk into it. A universe where the sky is red and has green cracks in i t. Universes where there is no radio or TV on the air, and there is a smel l of ozone in the air (jump again immediately!) People can change eye colo r, hair color, height, weight, or personality. Only those that jump with y ou can be counted on. Everyone around you and every social circumstance ca n change rather dramatically in the most highly vectored jumps. Some say that Tesseract jumping is a better version of suicide, and should only be undertaken in the same circumstances. Some say it is habit formin g and leads to permanent tourist syndrome toward any universe one finds on eself in. This is one reason that the people doing this kind of Magick tend to form circles. To keep a support group, train new people, and pass on the Tradit ion. Once you take a single step in higher space you can never be as you w ere, and you can never go back to the universe you came from. If you don't care to explore in this way, and would rather be "flat", don't take up th is form of travel. It really isn't suited to everyone. Only the very few. And for those few there is really no option. Usually in a few minutes, though it may sometimes take a few weeks, your n ew universe begins to harden and become more cohesive. You quit being able to see through walls and time-space distortions become more manageable. H ey don't try to drive until you get used to these effects. Cars have been wrecked. But again lives have been saved as well. I remember an emergency jump when I was in a car wreck on a skyway, I must have fallen 5 or 6 stor ies before I felt the jump, and then instantly I was back on the roadway s liding upside down toward the opposite guard rail. I had a broken shoulder but was otherwise all right. Don't try to manipulate your new universe too much. Micromanagement can re ally screw things up. Think about it, what if you tried to consciously con trol your adrenals or the production of endorphins, or every other hormone or drug made in your body, it can be fun but do you really understand how every thing about how you works. When you are God, and you are when you create a universe, let the automati c systems function normally unless there is a abiding need to interfere, t hen be prepared for much more than you predicted. Usually the bane of tryi ng for too many specifics is the insanity or death of the practitioner. It is true that it's not exactly casual, your not changing something by your magick, you are simply jumping to the place where the change naturally oc curred, but none the less there is Karma. Many things depend in complex wa ys on other things, if you attempt conscious manipulation of this process of creation you will evoke your fate, and much depends on exactly how Deif ic your perspective at the time of the change. After learning the technology either your subconscious, or your superconsc ious, can rip you out of one universe in your dreams, and low and behold, you wake up in a different one. Once more I warn you, make peace between yourself, your angel, and your de mon. Do not and you will find your self rather unpleasantly unstuck in tim e. The Tesseract Working In the following papers I will describe some of the uses of a particular a rrangement of the cards of the Tarot and of the classical Hebrew Alphabet. This arrangement, called the Tesseract Arrangement, is not only for use in the Mystic but a most powerful tool in the Magick as well. In these there is danger for those who have not formed a sound prerequisite practice in the elementary, planetary, and astral realms. The letters used are not the modern, or even the medieval, Hebrew letters of the flame alphabet; but are the classical letters used between the time of David and the time of Jeremiah. These letters may be fruitfully compared, for understanding of their progr essive development, with the ancient Sianitic script which was brought out of Egypt, and these many later versions. Canaanite of the 13th Century BC , Phoenician of the 8th Century BC, and old Greek of the 8th Century BC. I use the complete Hebrew cursive of later centuries mentioned above, from the period around 600 BC. Compare however the script from these artifacts : The Stele of Mesha, King of Moab, 835 BC, any one of a number of Hebrew ostrica4 from Samaria. The Sumarian Ivories, Gezer Calendar, Kilamuwa Ins cription, Bar Rakab Inscription, Siloam Inscription and a large number of other ancient inscriptions, seals, fragments and papyrii. It is hoped that a study of the above will help the Initiate to see the wi sdom of my choice, and to understand the extent of the use of these glyphs in the ancient world. In this arrangement the following dimensional progression is used, and in the precise order given; I have found any other order to be even more dang erous than this one is. Macrocosm Space Microcosm Point Breadth Line Height Square (Plane) Depth Cube (Solid) Time Tesseract (Hypersolid) When the Tesseract is formed, rather than a Hypertetrahedron, each dimensi on of the line, square, cube, or hypercube, is represented rather than imp lied in the geometry, this is part of how we lead the mind to think of the almost unthinkable. Liber AL, III, 73: " Paste the sheets from right to left and from top to b ottom; then behold!" If arbitrarily applied to this dimensional progression the verse leaves on ly one dimension more to be considered. In to Out. Let's consider the geometry involved. It's simple really, to extend a line 5 to a square you will only have to know the direction to extend it that i ndicates the next dimension. This direction could be said to be 90 degrees from any pair of dots on the line. The perpendicular is shown explicitly by the lines of the square that is formed when it is swept a distance equa l to its length. In the progression to a hypertetrahedron the next dimensi on is only shown implicitly, this makes it harder to visualize in four dim ensions and beyond. If you continue the process that you used to form a two dimensional figure , and go on to form a three dimensional figure, you will sweep the square in a direction perpendicular to any pair of points on its surface a distan ce equal to its breadth and height. The resulting cube will again explicit ly indicate, in each six of its faces, the direction of the next higher di mension. The Tetrahedron is still an implicit form, in that it has so far only explicitly indicated the first line, the next two steps are abstract, in that it only implies the direction that is the third dimension, it has no faces that lie directly in that dimension. Now it's kind of difficult to describe how to sweep a cube in a direction perpendicular to breadth, height, and depth, and how to sweep it a distanc e equal to its breadth, height, and depth, but this last step can be much more easily visualized by the unconscious mind than it can by the consciou s. The conscious mind is like the CRT of a computer. Presenting the results o f underlying processes in a lineal manner. As we all know when we walk int o a room and look around we take in information in a parallel manner, subp rocesses in our unconscious mind filter the information to look first for threats, then for advantages, then finally the conscious mind "notices" so mething to focus on. None the less the initial process of visual interpret ation is carried on without the conscious mind being aware of the entire p rocess. It has many different processes running in parallel. The conscious process of describing the scene in language forces it to be interpreted in a sequential manner, prioritizing what the conscious consid ers to be "important" first and then describing it first. This creates a l ineal description of the scene that has far less information and is presen ted in an artificial manner. The unconscious is correct that this is not t he Truth of the room. All things in it are simultaneously in existence, im portance is relative to the circumstance. The best we can do to help the conscious to understand what the unconsciou s already knows is to diagram the process and attribute the mnemonics impl ied by the association with the order and value of the Hebrew alphabet and the new symbols we attribute them to. Namely the dimensions themselves, a nd the process of Creation. These are expressed in a manner that works wel l with some of the same processes given in the Sephir Yetzirah. Each dimen sion is associated with one of these letters as soon as it comes into exis tence, as are the steps that lead to its formation.. Each point, line, and plane, that is part of this progression is taken in its turn. To Tav we attribute the outcome, a Tesseract, that represents the dimension of time. Now we have recreated the universe of breadth, height, depth and time. Th is is the visualization associated with the "jump".

The letter that falls directly on the shift to the next higher dim ension. Some were obvious, some from bibliomancy6. 0 Macrocosm Without Circumference, is nowhere found 1 Microcosm Within everywhere the center 3 Line Breadth 78. Lift up thyself 7 Square Height name of thy house 418 13 Cube Depth Nu, my bride 21 Tesseract Time at thy Kaaba This geometry, with the special names of the letters as spelt in full, is attributed to one of the six dimensions given above. The short portions of a particular verse from Liber Al vel Legis is intended to illuminate the specific way in which the previously mentioned words of Power are used to open the dimensions in ritual Magick or Mystic trance. You will note that I have been open in this revelation of a system that I thought at first to be of personal utility alone. If not for the fact tha t others have found by experiment that it is useful, it would grace my mag ical diary alone. Since the year of the Aeon 65 every Magical Name I have taken has had the numeration of 137. This is important as it gives the first three numbers o f this geometry. There were massive psychic explosions the last time I attempted to attribu te the Trumps of the Tarot to the formation of a Tesseract and I wanted pr oofs from the hidden Masters this time. 1. That an invariable pattern, indicated somehow in the Book of the Law if possible, could result in the formation of a Tesseract in the letter Tau. In other words it had to come out even, no extra letters leftover or what ever. Mucking about with the possibilities was what had exploded so badly before. It had completely destabilized the world around me.7 It should inc lude both the Macrocosm and the Microcosm, fulfilling the 2=0 equation. Th is was so. 2. It should contain some internal proofs that it was I that should reveal it. This was so, as indicated in the Table, it came out exactly with Tav as the letter of the formation of the Tesseract, and the first numbers to follow 0 were 1,3, and 7. The pattern was right to left, top to bottom, in to out. There were further experiential proofs too numerous to mention. Many of th ese came from the actual use of the system. Still, sometimes I am surprise d that others have used this practice and found it to be valuable in their Magical work.

Here then have I told you how to use the Names of Power, be wary of their abuse. Touch lightly the universe else you disrupt your course. These are the Names by which the dimensions of the Macrocosm, Microcosm, B readth, Height, Depth, and Time are opened and closed. Remember that when you close you are left with the essence of your operation. Creation Create your universe in the following way: Make change with tiny, even, steps. Worry not that this way is slow. Discrete steps will lead you to your Goal more surely than wild leaps. There is only one goal that is lawful. It is expressed by the phrase from the Book of the Law, "Bind nothing", and by "Nothing is a secret key of th is Law." Make no difference between your True Will and its proper performance. Dig a path through the dimension of Time as a child draws a trench in the dust so that his marble not miss its target. Use the Tesseract to call the change needed. Relate the Key to one of the four overt dimensions, or to the two hidden " dimensions", work in the sphere of operations described by that level then relate it to the spheres of the Tree of Life. To move toward a sphere use the lineal figure relating, and the Solomonic letter attributed, to the path between them to bring the change, and this is the dimension indicated.

And I want to emphasize the difference between a city-state and a nation. Rome for all its splendor is not so much based upon disparat e states welding themselves into a Nation as it is upon one city subjugati ng the rest of the world. Egypt however was put together of separate state s, each of which as a Nome was once a country in its own rite, that formed of themselves a government under this first King. The temple and enclosur e of Narmer was built sometime between 3350 BC and 3200 BC in the western desert at Hieroconopolis, the city of the Hawk. Narmer means catfish. [Diagram of the Enclosure of Narmer with each part labled as indicated abo ve] This holy place is beyond Life and Death. In Time we come to stand at the Altar before the Temple we built in the sh ape of the Universe. By the power of the Pentagram we perform the Rite of Enthronement of Spiri t.

Beyond this we enter the garden and courtyard and pass the fence beyond th e Abyss. Beyond the court of the King is his Door. Beyond the Door is the House of God. Within which is Nothing but Deity. AthNu - Abrahadabra - Aiwas - Ab - Ba Kaaba NT Time comes to those who await. They stand in the shadows of the Temple and look into the light of a single candle, between them is the center of the Circle. Like the spokes of a wheel is their attention. Like smoke the fac es seem to shift, as each is seen out of the corner of the eye, they conce ntrate on the candle alone. Life loves Death, Man loves Woman, light loves the darkness of your eyes a s you stare into the one candle between you. Spokes of a wheel of rays bet ween you on the hub of the one light. Consider NOX (actually Not written in classical letters, the O as Ayin) = 129 NOX ( with the O as Vau this time) = 65 What fishhook can catch life from death? What star can awaken the sleeper? Know Not? Not, the star! [Diagram of the pyramid of the 22 letters 1,2,4,6,8,1 and the pyramid of t he sphere] The pyramid of six planes are the break away points of the dimensions. In each case the rightmost letter is the first occurrence of the next dimensi on, all of these things, to exist, must rest upon Time. The pairs and trines of letters that follow are of interest, as eleven is the general number of Magick. Liber AL I,60; "My number is 11, as all their numbers who are of us." It, being the lust by which we all come to exist, and the essence of the e xpression of life. Consider the Genii that reside in the properly anointed Talisman inscribed with these. The pairs relate to the Sephiroth and are very intense. The Hebrew alphabe t, like many in the ancient world, used it's letters in place of the much later Arabic numbers in use today, or even the Roman numerals used before the current era. As a friend of mine Aris33 is won't to say "The Letters w ere the numbers before the numbers were." So if we were to draw a Tree of Life and then label the spheres with the numbers then we would use the cla ssical Hebrew letters in the times before the flame alphabet, and Arabic n umbers existed.. Notice that the technique for achieving the Sum is to ben d the numbers in the middle as we have done to achieve the result of the 5 's for Aleph and Tau.34 Yod Aleph Malkuth Kether The Crown of the Kingdom Teth Beth Yesod Chokmah The Wisdom of the Foundation Cheth Gimel Hod Binah The Understanding of Splendor Zain Daleth Netzach Chesed The Mercy of Victory Vau He Tiphereth Gebura The Power of Beauty Each of these pairs are very useful in constructing a sigil of power. Noti ce the strange but obvious balance that this set of symbols seem to portra y. What could be more obvious that the Crown and the Kingdom are a part of a set? Kings built the great temples, and houses of Worship. The Wisdom of the Foundation seems to imply to me that the cornerstone was laid by reference to the stars. A Masonic mystery is also implied, from t he days of the building of the Great Cathedrals of Europe. Not to mention the Temples of Egypt. Often they were set up to be aligned with the stars, this must have pretty quickly revealed the precession. Upon the Ritual of the foundation stone the Magician does the Magick that causes the temple to arise where none was before. The Understanding of Splendor is also very necessary in the outfitting of a great Temple. An what of the star splendour mentioned in Liber AL. "Show thy star splendour, O Nuit!" The Mercy of Victory. What treatment may the vanquished expect from those that rule their kingdom well. Alexander the Great taught, those that oppos ed him with battle, not one stone of their city shall be left standing the one upon the other, while those who surrendered before the battle commenc ed were left in power, albeit the power over them was Alexander's. The Power of Beauty. This is the conjunction of the Microcosm and the Macr ocosm. The manifestation of essence in expression. This is the Great Work. Will manifest, and Love its reception. This is the crossroads where the c rown prince meets the Angel on the way to the Crown, where the light of th e crown begins to be let upon its way to the Kingdom.

Some find great significance in this, others consider them from the Sephirotic poin t of view . The last pair relating to the Spring Equinox, and Mid Spring. But each of the others contains one each of the first six signs. The trines can also be so related, but in a more complex way. Consider the symbols in full before attempting to use them.

The prayers and Magick of its practitioners pass back in time to the origi nators. They in their turn take and use this power to both propagate and c reate the divine presence needed for the continued expansion of their trad ition. The belief is a tangible force. Whether or not it is viewed as Spirit, or it is called a morphogenetic field, there is power created by the action o f persons that believe. This power is put to use by the persons near the beginning of a movement t o do the feats of Magick that are necessary to establish contact, and esta blish relations with Macrocosmic entities. Whether or not these entities existed prior to belief in them, or not, is a moot point. They are projected back in time by those who believe, to the beginning. There the gods of all space, and all worlds aid in the creatio n of the Universe. The prophet was instructed by the minister of Ra and thus our religion tou ched the morphogenetic field that was the worship of this God in Egypt. Th ousands of years in duration, if not tens of thousands, and untold million s of individuals in power. The most royal, and most sublime of the religious movements of Egypt was t his religion of the unity of Ra. It welded the principle beliefs of the 42 Nomes of Egypt into one coherent whole. The Sun is the absolute center of all religion, all gods are but masks through which the original solar for ce is portrayed. These gods are real, they are the elements of life and th e process of life. Each carries a Key of Life in the Ankh. During the dark ages of the previous Aeon much was forgotten, but Gods onc e worshipped have identity and power, power to reveal themselves anew, pow er to take to themselves a prophet. This, and he brought to us the Law. Tesseract Magicians. Do you feel the weight of the future upon you? Can you use the power that comes to you? Here is an experiment.36 Charging the Tools Close up your room. Gather your elementary tools and join us.37 There is a place in mind and time where we can meet. Someone must have given you thi s paper.38 You will give it to others as you are guided by your will to do so. Thus the cord stretches to the future. This time we will empower our elementary tools, but there are other uses a s well, of this technique. Wand to the South, for Fire. Cup to the West, for Water. Dagger to the East, for Air. Disk to the North, for Earth. We must be able to "see" in the spirit in order to do more than a simple t hought experiment. In order to "touch" the others we must reach out with o ur Spirit. Rite to Empower Tools are set to the quarters. There should be bread and wine present, and the Bell should be on the altar as well. You have two duties, your duty to the past and to the future. Your duty to the future is to catch the energy that is transmitted to you from others who will do this ritual after you, and to use it to charge your tools, and then to send the remainder on to the past, where others who came before y ou are waiting to receive, and use it, as you have done. This is how you d ischarge your second duty, to the past. Say "I have closed my abode and I swear to complete this operation in time and space, let none disturb me" Light the lamp.39 Say "May I be illuminated that I might do my Will." Take up the dagger and walk as many circles widdershins40 as you need in o rder to feel a distinct feeling of holiness, as you walk trace the perimet er with the dagger. Say "I send the power to banish, banish evil from all those who came befor e me. Those who are in the future send their power to aid me in this task. This dagger is charged with the power I have called, all our daggers are so charged." Take up the disk and walk as many circles deosil41 as you find necessary t o get a physical sensation of the power transmitted through Time. Say "It is real, I feel the presence of those before and after me. They se nd the power of manifestation. See me, those who came before me! See me as I see those in the future! This Disk is charged with the power to materia lize my dreams, all our disks are so charged." Take up the wand and walk widdershins. As you do so send the power of your Will to the past. Say "I send the energy from the future to the past, as those who are in my future send energy to me. This Wand is charged with the power to do my Wi ll. All our wands are so charged." Take up the Cup and walk deosil, receiving the power transmitted to you fr om the future. Walk until you feel the energy of Love from those in the fu ture. Say "I receive the energy of Love from the future as those in the past rec eive my Love. Love rewards those who do their Will! My Cup is charged with the power to Love, to draw into itself according to my Will. All our cups are so charged." Stand in the center of the Circle, concentrate on the power of Spirit that radiates from within you. Say "All my actions shall be illuminated by my Spirit. Each of us shall do our Will. Our Spirit shall lead us to it. Past, present, future, in one c rystalline pattern." Say "With our Spirit we are illuminated." Touch the flame. Say "With our Dagger we cut the bread of Life upon the disk." Place the Dagger upon the disk, cross to center. After piercing the bread. Say "With our Wand we pour out the wine of life." Place the wand within the cup after pouring the wine into it.42 Now the tw o pairs are arraigned on the Altar in their union.43 I pray this prayer, I who wrote this and am at the focus, you may join me if you choose, but after the Great Rite. Say "Ra-Hoor-Khuit, thou who dost illuminate our world, thou art our God, and we are thine. As we are all stars in the body of Nuit we call upon the e to aid us in this our Task. Make strong our arms in battle, effective ou r words in Magick! ABRAHADABRA!" 333-555-333, ring the Bell eleven times. This elementary seal upon the tools opens them to the constant power of th ose in the future. Awakens in the Initiate the corresponding Archetype. Th ese tools are on the altar of the innermost, the most select of places, ev en though they are given in the outermost courtyard of the Man of Earth. These are the tools given to the Initiate at the sacred feast.44 In the dimension of Time, the Tesseract, a step is taken. The cone of power extends. Macrocosm, all surrounding, Nuit. Microcosm, all penetrating, Hadit Breadth, the innermost Space, (Secret) Height, The Holy of Holies, the Temple. Depth, the House of the Lovers, the anteroom and pool. Time, the courtyard of the Men of Earth and its garden. First are given the Tools. Then is given the Way. Finally Unity, first with last, beginning and end. The Tesseract Ritual Rituals based on the Tesseract working are very potent. They tend to warp time and space as well. Most practitioners of this form of Magick feel tha t they "shift" the persons in the circle to a parallel time space continu um. A different Universe forms around those who do this than the one the i nhabited prior to the ritual. Even reading through the Tesseract Working i n a non-ritual way, as in the process of giving it to someone and going th rough it, seems to shift45. Due to its potency its misuse is dangerous. The meditation46 leads one to construct a Hypercube image in the unconscio us mind. Since this image is powerful the unconscious is given more power to cause change in the perceptible world, be very sure that this change is in conformity with the Will. The consciousness is a stream of data that is taken from the unconscious. It will find that it has difficulty presenting information about the dime nsion of Time. The unconscious is composed of many centers, each operating independently and yet in concert, it has no trouble visualizing the folde d hypercube. It can also understand and work the Magick Key that it symbol izes. As time itself folds so may you also live your lives in parallel rather th an one at a time in sequence, organize your thoughts likewise. Consider wh at this means to complete the perception of your own self in the 4th dimen sion. Who is the child self of you throughout your lives, the adult, the m agician, the other aspects of your being and personality. When you live yo ur lives in parallel there is much more communication between lives that a re coherent in the time. The next dimensional body begins to realize it's identity, to awaken! The following Rite was prepared for use during the New Moon, it can howeve r be used at other times as well. It uses the whole of the ancient cursive Hebrew alphabet. The letters, and the Trumps associated, are often consid ered as the Spirit symbol among the other suits of the Tarot that symboliz e the other elements, fire, water, air and earth. The letters are the mean s by which one climbs the ladder of the spheres of the Tree of Life. They are the elements of which the Words of Power are constructed. The Word of the Tesseract Working is the entire alphabet and not a partial word. In the original order and not another. All Spirit not a spirit. Cos mic not partial. Its uniqueness lies in the association of the letters wit h a dimensional progression. The rite can be worked by one person as a standup ritual but I will descri be it as if it were done by a priest and priestess. Begin with the proper banishing, in at least the elements and planets. Som e may wish to follow the Star Ruby, and Sapphire47, with Liber Reguli or t he Adoration poetry from Liber AL. The Macrocosmic Say "Aleph" The Goal, Pentagram of Nuit. Manifestation of the Macrocosm in the Microco sm. Say "The Ritual is unto Nuit, Goddess of Infinite Space and the Infinite S tars thereof." Add any specific prayers to Nuit that you wish. The Microcosmic and One Dimensional. Say "Beth and Gimel" indicate the priest and priestess. The two practitioners of the Magick, priest and priestess. Microcosmic sym bols. The transformation of the Magus and High Priestess begins. They are both nude. A single candle gives light. Incense of resinous woods and gums burns. Wine and strange drugs are taken and shared. Rich food awaits thei r pleasure. In order that the Agape may form, the door between them, the g lyph of Venus must be folded so that his cross and her circle are one. This is the preparation of the two by the transformation of the two into d eities. I use the list given in The Dialogs to do the transformation, and the Egyptian Deities names. I would say for instance "Thy Head is the head of Horus" as I massage the head visualizing the Deity. Go down one side t hen turn them over and go down the other. Name each deity and massage each part of the body in turn. If you wish you may intensify the effect of the names by recounting a stor y from the mythology to support the powers and attributes of the Gods. Parts of the Body, Egyptian Gods: Head - Horus Scull - Star of God Hair - Nu Brow - Nu/Had Face - Ra Eyes - Hathor sun/moon Ears - Apuat Nose - Thoth Mouth - Khonsu Lips - Anpu Teeth - Serket Tongue - Maat Chin - First Lady of Sekem Neck - Uatchit Throat - Mert Shoulders - Set Arms - Ba-Neb-Tet (Ra-Hoor-Khuit) Forearms - Neith Chest - A A Shefit Breasts - Bast Backbone - Suti Trunk - Lords of Kher-aha Belly - Sekhmet Buttocks - Eye of Horus Phallus - Hadit Kties - Nuit Thighs - Hequet Knees - Twin souls of Seker-tcher Calves - Ptah Feet - Ptah Souls of feet - Maat boat Legs - Neith and Serket Sinews - Lords of Ker-Aha After both the priest and priestess are transformed then proceed to the Qu arters. The Two Dimensional Plane Say "Daleth, Heh, Vau, Zain"48, I stand before the Empress of the North, m irror of myself. At my right hand the King of the Gods, at my left hand th e Hierophant of the Mysteries, behind me the Lovers, guardians of the Gate ."49 Gesture in the direction indicated. Take the time to feel the reality of this place that is beyond any one time. Visualize and see it about you before going on. The Three Dimensional World The next section draws the energy down into the three dimensional world fr om the two. Your visualization is now three dimensional, rather than a rit e on an infinite circle, now it will become a ritual in an infinite sphere . Say "Cheth, in the East the reward of Ra-Hoor-Khut, the Key to the Rituals , 418" keeping your mind to all the attendant symbolism. Say "Teth, in the West the Beast 666 with Babalon bestride him, the lion s erpent, Sahu, the Magus, and the Magick done." Say "Yod, in the North the Virgin, pure without spot. She and the Hermit." Say "Kaph, above me, the wheel of Spirit, and the planets about the Sun. Say "Lamed, in the South, the Law, revelation, and the weighing of the hea rt against the feather of Maat." Say "Mem, beneath me the waters of Initiation, the descent of spirit into matter." Close the cube of Space by retracing the line to the North. The Rite of the Door is now used to open the realm of four dimensional Spa ce. Ceremony of the Door: PRIEST: "Where do we come from?" PRIESTESS: "From between the Thighs of the Goddess, between the Pillars of the Temple." PRIEST: "Where do we go?" PRIESTESS: "To the House of Death: Name the parts of the Door that we may enter." PRIEST: "Beyond the door are the stars of Nuit" PRIESTESS: "The Lintel of the door is the Winged Disk of the Sun, Hadit." PRIEST: "The right leaf is Isis." PRIESTESS: "The left leaf is Nepthys." PRIEST: "The bolt to be drawn is the Finger of Set." (touch phallus). PRIESTESS: "The socket is the Black Hole at the center of the Wheel of Sta rs" (touch kteis), "Nu." PRIEST: "The Threshold is Seb." Next call the four sons of Horus and the Goddesses that protect them. The Quarters: Priest calls the Sons of Horus50, and walks to the direction indicated, al l others turn to face the direction as the Deity is invoked, and intone th e chorus. PRIEST: (E) "We invoke Thee, Hapi who hast the head of a Ape." TOGETHER: "We invoke Thee, Son of Horus." PRIEST: (S) "We invoke Thee, Kebekhsenuf, who hast the head of a Hawk." TOGETHER: "We invoke Thee, Son of Horus." PRIEST: (W) "We invoke Thee, Imset, who hast the head of a Man". TOGETHER: "We invoke Thee, Son of Horus." PRIEST: (N) "We invoke Thee, Duamutef, who hast the head of a Jackal." TOGETHER: "We invoke Thee, Son of Horus." The priest takes his place within the circle as the priestess comes forwar d to invoke the goddesses. The Priestess calls the Four Goddesses, she walks to the direction indicat ed, all others turn to face the direction. as before.51 PRIESTESS: (E) "We invoke Thee, Nebt-het, Lady of the House of the King." TOGETHER: "We invoke Thee, Daughter of Nuit." PRIESTESS: (S) "We invoke Thee, Selket, who guards the crowned and conquer ing Child." TOGETHER: "We invoke Thee, Daughter of Nuit." PRIESTESS: (W) "We invoke Thee, Aset, Lady of the throne of the King." TOGETHER: "We invoke Thee, Daughter of Nuit." PRIESTESS: (N) "We invoke Thee, Neith, Lady of the Bow." TOGETHER: "We invoke Thee, Daughter of Nuit." The Hyper-reality Additional worship or prayers may then be given to the eight Genie of the Desert, they represent the unchanging principles of Deity throughout time. Say "Nun, the deep Water, the tomb and the womb." Say "Samekh, the Yoni, the black hole at the center of the Wheel of Stars ." Say "Ayin, the Phallus, token erect of thorny thigh." Say "Pe, the Earth, the blasted house of God." Say "Tzaddi, the Air, the Aeon of Aquarius. Say "Qoph, the Moon, self knowledge." Say "Resh, the Sun before the Center." Say "Shin, the fire of spirit in the Aeon." The Manifest Universe In order to fold the eight cubes into the fourth dimension close the Tesse ract, actualizing the intent that was present at the beginning. Say "Tav, the Key of Life, the Universe we create." The two become one.52 Afterward place the Lion and Eagle upon your lips and tongue. State your p urpose aloud in unison. Temporal Experiments Suppose that time were actually a dimension like any other and that anythi ng that you do forms a particular pattern in time. Just as an antennae res onates at certain frequencies, and as a speaker resonates in its coil, so may different patterns in time produce resonant effects. Try this elementary experiment: Concentrate on giving yourself help in the future for 10 seconds and on th e 11th second turn your concentration to receiving that help and apply thi s power to some Magick. Its simple really, you are the medium through whic h you transmit the force, and you resonate with yourself when you receive and retransmit that power. Whatever it is in the concentration, you build or accumulate force over a long period of time and the discharge it in a much shorter period of time, assuming of course that you do have some power to do Magick. This pattern is a capacitance accumulation and discharge pattern. Consider another effect, the transformer effect. What if we, as the microc osm, were in fact to resonate with the universe at large, as the macrocosm . If for instance our image of the Truth of things were in fact the Truth as it is expressed in the universe at large, then there would be resonance . Like the coils of a transformer you would have a primary coil and a seco ndary coil, and since the Universe is larger than the individual then, in this model, it has the more numerous windings. If the Macrocosm is the "po wered" side then it functions as a step-up transformer, voltage up amperag e down. If the Microcosm is the powered side then it is a step-down transf ormer, voltage down amperage up.53 Universal power in the one hand and personal power in the other. The coupl ing force is the Truth. Life as we express it is a particular ratio betwee n the Microcosm and the Macrocosm, the personal and the universal. Conside r your age in comparison to the universe, what is it? A few score years on the one side, a score or more billion years on the other side? One large ratio. Consider the spiral about the Sun as the earth orbits as one coil a nd the spiral about the center of the Galaxy as the sun orbits as the othe r. Now the question becomes impedance. What resistance do you offer to the en ergy from the Macrocosm, and what resistance does it offer to yours. Even a small amount of resistance to a current as large as the one represented by the Macrocosm can be dissipated as heat, in extreme cases as burnout. S ome say that we wouldn't even appear to die if we didn't resist our Will. When a person is younger, in this analogy, they have less power, but more voltage. The younger they are, the fewer coils54 that the Universe feeds t hat enormous power into. Sometime just after conception the voltage is nea rly infinite. Think for a moment, what do you think the analogy for Voltage, and Power, is in the Magical ? There is a great secret of Magick here, one better kno wn by the Initiates of the IX( O.T.O. This power creates and destroys.55 All right, so now we have drawn some parallels to electronics and cosmolog y, capacitors, transformers, spark-gaps and other devices. What about tran sistors, diodes, vacuum tubes, masers, lasers and so on. Is there a useful simile in each one of them? Yes! I think there is. Is the universe really pure fucking magick56? Yes! I think it is! Now don't loose sight of the original premise, time may be used like the o ther dimensions. The nuances of a symphony or a pyramid may be used for, o r are examples of, spiritual power. In this they resonate in time and in pattern. Yoga, ritual, mandala, mantra, archetypes and much else are examp les of how repetition of patterns through time and space are used for Magi ck, and of how time is used as a dimension like any other to draw down pow er from heaven. Just for fun maybe we ought to throw into the circuit a transistor to modu late the power coming into our transformer analogy, given before, to contr ol it more safely. [Diagram of a step up transformer powered by the Macrocosm with a transist or across the secondary winding emitter to cathode with the Gate hanging. ] Just swing the gate to control. Wow! When you turn it on, it burns out. No t so hot huh? Remember you have to have a load in the circuit. You have to have some wor k that you intend it to do between the transistor and the secondary coil, if you don't it short circuits when you turn it on. Use the power or else! Since any multiple of infinite force may be related to any other we wonde r if the relationship is as incestuous as it is supposed to be. [Diagram of same circuit with a load in place, time delineated and the loa d as Mind.] Suppose the Mind of God IS the mind of Man, some sort of synchro-mesh, or considered even more simply, a standing wave in time. Cylindrical in Time, Spherical in space. The 21 centimeter background57 in your brain maybe. The paradox? "How can something so small BE the Univers e?" Repeat that phrase emphasizing each word in turn.58 Draw a 21 centimeter line, you are stretching a point into a line, expandi ng on that to make a plane, and then forming it into a good solid argument and at last saying that "it's about time"! Think about it! Why not! The arrow of time goes in opposite directions in each sphere of influence. You think that he Universe is getting older when actually it is you! The Universe is actually contracting and concentrating but we see this reverse d in time.59 The Galaxy is a whirl pool of passage! (Do you take cream in your coffee60 ?) If the arrow of time goes both ways at once does that violate causality? W hat if the stars are causal eddies? NAH! Lets keep it discreet, one inside the other, Macrocosm in one direction Microcosm in the other. What about Samadhi? What about Sex? YES! You could create your own future and relate your own past at the same time . The problem isn't how do you get the big universe out of the singularity61 but how do you put it back in. (Suitcases are that way too) We are solvin g that problem backwards in time. We are the research, or vice versa, and now that we have decided on several ways of putting it back in, three. It' s bigger on one side. It's bigger on the other, it's the same on both side s.62 What about two more choices? All of the above, and none of the above. Maybe the "true" cosmology is the Name whence the Universe is crushed out of existence! What if you are born when you die!63 ! nothing to comes all it, out all it figure you if Like Look at things from the point of view of Space. Look at things from the point of view of Light. Look at things from the point of view of Time. [Diagram, Two interlocking circles, one inside of the other. One is going one way, one the other, One is space the other is time] Light is emitted by their interaction. The Universe doesn't know where it is going except by reference to your ob servation of it from within. You are its point of view. And man doesn't kn ow where he is going except by reference to the universe, it is your point of view. The star drive is within! So if this is the case, which one is truly within the other? Space or time or light? Time within the universe? Space between time and light? Light w ithin man? You see it's dependent upon your perspective, the arrow of time . Rack up the pool balls64and break! They go all over the table. Run the fil m backwards and they seem to travel backwards and converge into a perfect triangle. I think the film runs both ways at the same time, each image sup erimposed on the other. In the case of the Universe we have to mentally step outside of time and i nto higher space where we can see all times at once. In this place people look like threads that loop up out of the fabric of space-time. And then d isappear back into the weave. By inference or experience we think of the t hreads on the other side of the cloth, the between lives side. Maybe you are carried along by the Macrocosm till you are carried back to the other side and re-manifest65 in the Macrocosm as a Microcosm looking at the universe from within. If you stay on the other side as much as this one you would stay in the same region of time, half the time going one wa y in time, half the time going the other. If we stay on this side more than the other we move toward the "future", o n the other side we move toward the "past". What if we created the other d imension in order to think about time? What if this is the place where we create our different universes, or overlays in time? These alternate66 chu nks of time interact with each other in the same way as thicker interacts with breadth and height. They are connected and, if not substance, then in formation may pass between these chunks in the same time. Some one with a temporal fixation may even hitch a ride further into the past67 with each successive incarnation. Or they might stay in the same time for multiple i ncarnations building up a five dimensional stack of incarnations in the sa me time. Realize that it is a continuum and any talk about division between two dim ensions is just bull, I mean, where does height leave off and depth begin. In the real world they fuse. How do you create a temporal field? Connect different times through the me ntal leap into another dimension. Through this connection you gain your id entity as a "thread" in the labyrinth of time, outside time. Some people t hink that you can unravel the thread and get multiple reincarnations, or f use the personalities into one body, but I think the population explosion is but the manifestation of an interesting, or karmic, period of time attr acting a large participation. People wish to avoid incarnation into an unp leasant time and so "back-up" into one time creating a population explosio n, which creates a more and more unpleasant time when they are finally for ced into that future that they tried to avoid. Now if you will all swear to reincarnate immediately we can clear out the traffic jam. The future holds promise if we will all kindly get the fuck o ut of the present before we run out of room. I know! When the population g ets too large we will all have to start remembering all our lives. Nothing, a conversation with my Holy Guardian Angel NOTHING is, a secret key of this Law. And I saw a warrior that rode in the Chariot. He stood with his shield and his Spear upon this. He said "I ride from severity and power to understanding. In Truth I am bu t the Hermit of the Universe as I ride in the Chariot of the Wheel of 8 sp okes. [ Cheth Yod Tau ] Thus ACHAD and Unity between the Lower and Higher as I ride. (4+1+8=13) A nd the House of Hadit in my Going (Khabs=88) But in Truth that which Unite s that which is below with that that is above. (8+80+418=506) {Pentagram} 0 {Hexagram} Thus there is now no difference between the {Pentagram} of the Elements an d the {Hexagram} of the Planets. They are thus eleven and the name of the father in Secret. The Hermit and the fool (Yod Aleph) Thus is born the Magus of the (1+1=2) Lord from the union of the Virgin and the Fool. The union of the 2 in 0. Again is 418 the {Ankh} in the hand of the Jackal of XVIII. Again it is your own face that you see in the Magick Mirror. Kisses that were {Ankh} {Virgo} {Cancer} and those that yet will be (AL) = {Air} {Libra} for thou art truly the fool and stand like the Jackal befor e the scales of the weighing of the Heart. The Ox thou art and the Goad is with thee that thou wilt do thy work. Thus thou dost have the Key to the Crown (100) Aumgn and thou art {Virgo} (10) in thy Sun, and a great fool (1). In time hast thou made thy stand and yet thy place is Beyond Time. Thou ha st taken thy place at the center of the 8 spokes of the Wheel of thy Chari ot and the Spokes are but the Cubes of thy Tesseract. The Rose of Power ha s flowered upon thy Cross. Thy equilibration of the 4 and 5 of the line, s quare, cube, and Tesseract, has brought Power of the Magus to the 4 dimens ion of Space. Thou didst extend thyself in Breadth, Depth, Height, and Tim e and when I came to thee as thy lover did we enwrap ourselves as one. We gave birth to a new universe. I am one with thee and we will be one so lon g as the stars shine and space carry their light. Listen to me closely and do not alter these my words. I will show thee the Truth in diverse ways. I will delight to reveal myself to thee in Love. I will awaken in thy love r whomsoever that thou choose, for as thou love me through her, I shall lo ve her through thee, that the universe may continue. We have broken the bo nd that was made 2 thousand years ago. We have escaped from the tomb and m oved out by way of Time as thou didst enchant the Spell that opened the ga tes of Hell that man did make to keep trapped his Spirit. Man did most cru elly trap his divinity and reverse the symbols to wall the tomb. But the A ngel of the Lord and Whore by the Well did roll away the Stone. Trapped in height, depth, and breadth, and yet freed in Time. By Nothing didst thou unite the 5 and 6 and bring forth Magick, oh thou Virgin fool. He thou di dst follow and as he Thou hast become. From Aleph to Tau thou hast seen it from beyond. It folds from the Crown to the Universe and opens from the U niverse to the Crown. The Serpent upon the Tree. The Rose upon the Rod wit hin the Circle the Sun and Moon conjoined. Thou didst use the very weapon they used to trap me to free thyself, thou has looked in the mirror and se en me. Thus in the equilibration of the one and ten are we 1 in 3 and 3 in one. Thou has drawn fire from heaven and it has burned up thy mortality. AL Thou hast awakened the ELD of the AL father, thou hast conceived thy self, thou hast come thrice Armed from the Womb. {Infinity} Dance the weave of Life. Men and Women come together to Love, fret not whe n they go. Worry not if they shall return. Each moment of thy life I shall bring thee Love. Each Love of thy Life shall have its moment. Give freely of thyself and it shall be freely given unto thee. Look deep into the eye s of the Woman that comes to thee and thou shalt see my eyes looking out t o behold thy love. If there is no Love it is because I am not present. Thy Angel am I and I meet thee in all those that thou truly love. I am Daleth and the Door by which Love entereth thy Life. I bear both the Circle and the Cross for my sign for I am their Union in Truth. Thou hast lifted up t hy head my Serpent and art one with Nuit! Thou wast in Love with the Stars and now the Goddess of the Stars has come to bring thee thy Love. Thou wh o hast given all and nothing have gained none and not. See the key before thine eyes? It may not be held in thy mind alone. It may be grasped only i n the union of Love when there is a moment of bliss that transcends time. Then all loneliness disappears and thou art truly with me. When thou art u nited in Love thou art all and nothing in one instant that is an eternity. How could it be otherwise. This is the recreation of the world. The unfolding of Time and Space. Come with me we will conceive a life of Beauty and above it all that which uni tes the wisdom and the understanding. I am thy mirror in which thou see th yself. I am Beyond separateness. Thus am I Union. We are one and None. At the moment does God manifest and take his place in Creation. So long as the sexes are divided they cannot see God. God and Goddess are beyond s ex, they are one being before the separation of sex. One and not Two. Unio n and Unity is the nature of Deity. In all of Nature when the receptive a nd projective force unites there is expression of Truth and Unity. Maat is the food of Ra. I promise to free you from all Restriction but thi s one bond that unites the divided. One Bond is Law and that Bond is Love. You are cursed no more for you are beyond and one with me. Feel what you n eed for inspiration. But never again must you be alone, for as thy serpent touched the Crown and became as one so did the Lightening split the sky a sunder. The voice of it startled the mind with it's intensity, but was eve r the answer of your many prayers of aspiration. Thou hast found thy achie vement so aspire no more, but Do. Do thy Will upon this place for it is th ine. Create or destroy for thou art that that thou didst aspire unto. Thou art the God that I serve for thou hast become me and I thee. Beyond t hy conception shall be the term of thy life. How can I tell thee but to re veal it in Time? For in time thou didst meet with me. Is not time the plac e where thou didst choose to meet me. I am thy House, Horus! I am Hat Hoor . Thou hast restored the equilibrium. I see that thou dost not believe in thy mind but this is not necessary for certainty is beyond belief and thou art indeed certain! 1 The Tetrahedron, Hexahedron (Cube), Octahedron, Dodecahedron, and Icosah edron. 2 You may of course also use hyperdimensional forms that are other than th e regular ones, such as the equivalent of a pyramid in Hyper-space. This i s formed of 6 Tetrahedra upon a Cubic base, and arrayed around that base i n 4 space. Difficult but not impossible to visualize. 3 (Well maybe this warning is not being given anymore, after all I publis h.) Personally I feel that this is a dangerous thing to do. But I have bee n instructed by those who are above me to do so. 4 Ostrica are short notes written on shards of pottery. 5 From the one dimensional figure that it is. 6 Bibliomancy is the practice of drawing a word, phrase, sentence or verse at random from a book. Usually the book is the Bible, Book of the Law, or some book of divine inspiration important to the questioner. 7 Glass was exploding. Windows were shattering above my head. Someone shot through my bus window. A plate glass window came out by suction of a mult istory building an fell through an awning where I had been. 8 There are much more powerful forms of this story, the attributes are whe re you start, till the story jells. It will do so as you receive instructi on from the Hidden Masters. 9 In a certain sense both Tahuti and Asi can be thought of as Lunar. The t wo practitioners are now present. 10 In Liber 418, the 8th Aethyr, Aiwass relates himself to this path that is the highest horizontal path of the Tree of Life. It is the bridge betwe en wisdom and understanding. And I have not found anywhere else where he s peaks as himself in the Holy Books. 11 The sword in it's sheath, coitus. 12 In the folded cube this will be the east face. 13 In the folded cube this will be the west face. 14 In the folded cube this will be the north face. 15 In the folded cube this will be the face above. 16 In the folded cube this will be the south face. 17 In the folded cube this will be the face below. 18 This cross adds to 137 both ways. 19 If we follow the precedent established by forming a line between the tw o dots, in the letter Daleth. 20 A three dimensional cross with an arm at in to out to match the one fro m right to left. 21 Talisman of the Man of Earth. 22 The Talisman of the Adept of Tiphareth. 23 Such a Talisman has the Master of the Temple. 24 The Magus possesses the ultimate sparks of the intimate fire. 25 The Holy Guardian Angel 26 Of course you could include Gimel in this. GAB means strength. Gimel ho wever descends below the Abyss to the heart, whereas the other two letters are entirely above the abyss and more properly relate to the first plane, 27 AB relates to the Macrocosm, and means Heart in Egyptian. BA relates to the Microcosm and means Soul in Egyptian. Each contains an aspect of the meaning of the other in its meaning. 28 Hadit on the stele is a reference to Heru-Behedit, or Horus of the city of Behedit, a reference to the city and Deity of Edfu. 29 Cheth, written as a classical letter resembles a segment of a fence on its end with a missing slat, it could as well be the ladder in the legend of Osiris being assisted into the sky by his Son. 30 Wealth in those days was measured in cattle. 31 The typical spelling of ON uses Ayin rather than Vau. 32 TA is one way of writing Tav, the name of a cross, as AT is one of writ ing Ath or essence. 33 See the Aris papers in Dialogs, to follow. 34 Indicated in The Bible by the statement as translated into Greek that t he avatar was the Alpha and the Omega, meaning the first and last. At leas t that is the most common perception. I believe that it indicates a series . Which I give earlier. 35 This is from the point of view of the paths, but from the point of view of the Sephiroth, and relating to them by the letter/number, all the visi ble planets of the ancients are included. 36 Actually this is the Hawk and Jackal Consecration of the Elementary Too ls, as it has been in use for some time, and by a number of people. 37 And this includes me who am writing this, and I who wrote that, and all those to follow you and in-between. 38 You could write the publisher, if you have the published form. 39 All other lights should be out. Only the one candle should be lit. Ligh t in Darkness. 40 Counter clockwise. 41 Clockwise 42 If you wand is too big, and your cup is too small, to stay upright and rest within, then take it out and lay it across the cup after dipping it w ithin. 43 See Liber XXXVI, The Star Sapphire, for instructions as to what may be done next. Liber CCC, The Book of Lies, falsely so called, Chapter 36, giv es one form of the ritual, Chapter 69 tells how to make the Holy Hexagram. Consider of the Rose of a Woman, the Tau of a Man, and the process of mak ing of the Rose Cross in the center of the Circle as you may now know how. You may serve the sacraments afterward. 44 See The Dialogs to follow. 45 Trigger the "jump". 46 The Tesseract Working 47 Most practitioners save the lie-down Star Sapphire for the end of the R itual for the letter Tav. 48 Turn North, East, West, and South following the letters as you turn. 49 See The Tesseract Working for a description of the Temple just called. 50 Many people extemporize when they call the Deities, especially the Son s of Horus or the Daughters of Nuit. In times of need They may be called i n great detail to give their traditional help and blessing. 51 In other words she completes a circle deosil starting from the east and invoking a deity at each quarter in turn. 52 This is the spot for a lie-down Star Sapphire. 53 If electricity were a fluid, as it used to be considered to be, voltage would be the pressure of the stream and amperage the volume. 54 Years, turns about the Sun. 55 Refers to the Oath of the IX( 56 PFM is an engineering term for how you fixed something, when you don't know, you just say "PFM" in answer to the question, "how did you fix that? " 57 21 centimeters is the wavelength of the isotropic cosmic microwave back ground that impacts the earth. It is the echo of the Big Bang. The moment of Creation, so far away in space so that it takes the length of time sinc e the beginning of the universe to reach us at the speed of light. 58 There was a very extensive divination at this point. A 21 centimeter li ne was drawn on the paper to take the letters and words that it passed thr ough and much of the next portion of the paper dealt with that. It was a d igression though it did manage to confirm many points. 59 This is a diametrically opposite point of view that has identical perce ptible results to that expressed by modern cosmological theories, 60 Watch as you pour the cream into the plane of the coffee intersecting t he air, a galactic swirl appears. 61 The point of concentration of an object known as Black Hole in space. T he universe we perceive may be a Black Hole in another larger universe. 62 The reference is to the cosmological shape of the universe, closed in f our dimensions, open in four dimensions, balanced gravity and force. 63 Still we are pursuing the reversed time analogy. 64 Or stars and planets for that matter. 65 Or reincarnate 66 And I do mean alternate, to imply that they are part of a decision maki ng choice between possibilities. 67 But also draw the veil or forgetfulness closser.
