Skeptics nearly always bring up the term "coincidence" when setting out to disprove the validity of a magickal result, are their arguments justified or just a misunderstanding of the the true nature of magick and "coincidence"?.
There are many examples of coincidence, some simple, such as bumping into someone you know at an unexpected destination, others can be a little more complex and harder to explain. A few months ago the artist friend of mine "John Fisher" became obsessed with painting dragons, as it was his coming birthday his son decided he would try to find him a good resource book of dragon artwork, so he went the local bookshop and enquired if they had such a book in stock, a few moments later the sales assistant returned with a huge volume of dragon art, exactly what he'd been looking for, on opening the book he discovered that it had been compiled by an artist named "John Fisher!", the artist son is a true sceptic, but knowing that I have an interest in these matters decided to tell me of his experience.
The above example could be just put down to a simple if strange case of coincidence, but what if there is some form of deeper activity going on?, could it be that reality was telling John to carry on drawing dragons, or that he was wasting his time and to give up as it had already been done?.
It is my opinion that there is no such thing as coincidence, I believe that coincidences are signs written into the fabric of reality that if fully understood help to guide our lives in one direction or another.
So we come to the subject of "can we prove that magickal activity created a desired result?". skeptics will tell you that the results created by magickal activity are almost impossible to prove and the term coincidence will once again rear is ugly head, but if we take a more scientific approach to the subject it may become possible to validate our work.
If we take the time to stringently record our objectives, such as "money", and then record the exact details of the ritual, such as the time and date it was carried out, weather conditions, movement of the moon, along any other fine details that may effect the ritual, such as state of mind, diet etc, we can then wait for a given period of time for the result to manifest, and yes, if the money manifests it could still be put down to "coincidence", but if we then repeat the ritualistic experiment under exactly the same conditions and we get a result within the same time set period of time it then reinforces the notion that our activity has indeed created that result.
If we carry this further and repeat the ritual on several occasions and yet again produce a positive result we come to the the position where we can calculate coincidence against probability, the sceptics will still maintain their opinion but the argument towards the result being created via our magickal activity has shifted in our favour.
This is why we should try to keep as precise a record as we can of all that we are working towards, it gives us the option to check, re-check and evaluate our personal progress or failures.
On a higher level, we can learn to read the hidden meaning of the signs and "coincidences" that effect our daily lives, rather then taking the experienced "coincidences" at face value, we should try to decipher their intended effects upon the destiny of our lives.

Excerpt from ALCYONE volume 1 number 2 (pages 44-68)
However, though difficult, it’s critical for people to interact with the subtle aspects of their environment, and really socially this type of developmental process, or initiation, is embedded into the world’s mythologies.
Symbols are a powerful occult force that’s at the heart of all human cultural experience. Symbols can be used as a tool of suppression as is the case in politics, or it can be used for liberation as is the case with metaphysics and especially Magik.
The reason that people confuse Magik and basic symbolism is because the nature of a Magikal symbol can’t be conveyed through language. Magikal symbols are much different than the ordinary types of symbols known and used by everyone. The main difference between a symbol used for Magikal purposes and a symbol used for mundane purposes is that a Magik symbol has an entirely personal definition, and therefore is only potent to the individual that actually created the symbol. Symbols that are not created for a specific purpose are ambiguous and worthless; they are not Magikal unless they are geared for a specific intent.
Non individualized symbols have ambiguous meanings not because of the inherent nature of the symbol’s relationship with the perceiver, but because the perceiver has been in contact and subjected to the descriptions and biases of other people regarding the symbol. This alone demeans the symbol, and causes a degeneration of its Magikal potency. Thus, it’s mundane, like a county map or a grocery store receipt, or a political slogan.
For a Magik symbol to be comprehended it must be directly experienced. Direct experience is the thesis of the Magikal system that’s put forth in this book. Psychologist William James understood the necessity of direct experience in order for people to understand the reality and nature of something and how it affects them. James used the example of a child and a flame, to understand fire and the full nature of fire someone must first put their finger to the flame and get burnt.
Similarly, to begin to understand Magik one must begin to do Magik. One must move forward working their Magikal regimen knowing that it’s a technology in which symbols are used to interface with the human nervous system. Using symbols to interact with human neurology will in turn transform and unlock dormant aspects of the human genome that need to be activated for further Magikal initiation. Therefore, ultimately, Magik must be experiential.
The reason that symbols can be used for such powerful cognitive purposes is that symbols are configured with both historical and personal components. Language, gestures, icons, and artifacts are all types of symbols with highly sophisticated personal and cultural interpretations and explanations, and none of which’s meanings are fully transmittable from one person to another. In this sense, all symbols contain secrets because although people may explain their interpretation of a symbol, they would still be unable to explain their complete perception and their fullest conceptualizations about the symbol and how it affects them mentally, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.
Human behavior in the modern world is mostly symbolic. People don’t usually consider that most of their behavior is symbolic. Therefore people do not intentionally and willfully interact with the symbolic realm or repertoire that has covertly been generated around them over the course of their lives. Unfortunately, mostly people’s symbolic repertoire is created for them through suggestions and impressions made by culture and media.
Culture is a man-made social network, a simulacrum by which we can all experience the same reality and experience the same sensations through the same coherent symbol system. Once this matrix of sameness is perceived, the knowledge of it becomes the force that thrusts the Magician into the Abyss. This is one of the great Ordeals of S S S . If the matrix of sameness is not perceived, it will provide countless pleasures for a person.
Magikal symbols ultimately give human beings a cognitive type of depth perception. Magicians reprogram their whole psyche with symbols and thus enter into a whole new realm of reality with which most people’s central nervous system has not been exposed and therefore can not perceive. Once people enrich their lives with the colorful and powerful use of intentional and Magikal symbolism, they will begin to experience the world in a new and individual way.
There are many kinds of symbols. The most powerful symbols are of course those that interact neurologically with human emotions and empathy. Potent iconic imagery, such as that found in mythology, inspires the perceiver with reality transforming cognitions, which then will generate new neural pathways and neural connections which over time will formulate new concepts in the mind of the perceiver, and thus a whole new reality. Some of the most potent symbols today, although ill used and serve to oppress people’s individuality and creativity, are money, corporate logos, and political iconography. The Magikal power of symbols is that they generate an actual neural substrate in the form of electricity, chemicals, and electromagnetic energy, upon which people can weave the fabric of their reality or various realities, store that information, and use it to interface with unknown parts of the universe. Correctly used, the brain is a technology for activating a Magik portal.
O n a practical psychological level, symbols are aggregates of visual representations of often highly complex and far reaching concepts that lose something when put into a simple lexicon. When the meaning of a Magikal symbol is attempted to be explained, the essence typically can’t be captured.
In society, people spend lots of conscious energy trying to extract the various kinds of information that the social world has embedded into symbols. The speed at which one operates and can utilize symbolic and coded information within any symbolic system depends not only upon one’s comprehension of the symbol system itself, but also of the complexity of the occult nature of symbols, themselves, and the world around them. In other words, with symbols- context is everything!
One of the most mysterious systems of symbols is words. Words are intensely symbolic. Words are not just practical, but are also hieroglyphs and sigils which have been both socially and individually imbued with vast meaning. Words are embedded with essence and principles which empower it to invoke concepts and images in the mind of the perceiver. For instance, seeing the word windmill will no doubt almost instantaneously cause the image of a windmill to invade your mind. This is so automatic that it’s practically unstoppable. This example is just a simple illustration of the extreme power of language.
In fact, language is a social grimoire, and it’s entirely overlooked as a Magik book of spells.
The English language may be one of the most potent Magikal grimoires currently on the planet. Just think of the powerful impact English has had upon the Earth and the immense power that the fluent English speaker commands in the modern world. For this reason an English Qabala is used by S S S , as dictated by the Law of the Old Aeon in Liber Legis in 1904 (the Book of the Law).
The power of sound is described in many ancient texts. When sound is combined with meaning, it generates a powerful cognitive realm that ultimately provides the mental associative vibration and symbolic substrate upon which human development occurs.
Psychology adopted the motto nature vs. nurture to describe what affects development. Nature and nurture imply the convergence and divergence of two key components of human reality— genetics and environment. These two components are also of critical importance to modern Magik. In S S S , nature is DNA, nurture is ritual. These two components are linked and held together by sound, and sound is ultimately just a byproduct of movement.
One of the ramifications of language and Magik is that it changes people’s perceptions, their behavior, and thus their personal experience. People’s personal experience of course plays a critical role in the types of meanings and interpretations they imbue to particular symbols and how they will use the symbols. For this reason, a massive effort exists to collectivize culture, so that there is no discrepancy in what certain things mean. This is the story of the Tower of Babel, a global language and system of control. This illusion is broken with the initiation of Tipareth and the dawn of a person’s Khabs.
In modern society, one of the great barriers keeping people from Magikal success is that they are told by science that they are animals. And, animals behave in expected ways. Psychology has hashed out much of the mysterious nature to animal behavior in behaviorist laboratories. Many behaviors have been classified and how to systematically manipulate animal behavior has been largely revealed. Once behaviors are classified and understood they are said to be stereotypical of the particular animal and are expected to be predictable.
Similar to the way in which psychologists scrutinize and manipulate animal behavior in laboratories in order to learn to control the animal’s behavior, institutions inside society perform the same types of manipulations to control people, this is the origin of the matrix of sameness. The matrix of sameness is actually perceived as stereotypes and expected behaviors that are transmitted to people symbolically through cultural systems such as media and entertainment. People adopt stereotyped behaviors because they are lured by the power that these behaviors wield over others, which is of course an illusion. Powerful media-manufactured personalities which are known to succeed in the man-made social world are adopted by people because of the reliability of these prepackaged and mass produced personalities.
Psychologist Lev Vygotsky suggested that animals are unable to perform behaviors that are meaningless to the context of an actual situation. They are incapable of performing actions which are arbitrary or sense-less. They are devoid of creativity. Suppressing someone’s creativity is Black Magik, as it dehumanizes people and makes them act like laboratory rats. It’s critical not to underestimate the powerful influence that the media has upon all of our cognitions and thus all of our behaviors. Really, our entire social reality is a holographic construct of the media, including not only our thoughts, but the words we use to describe our thoughts. The homogenous matrix in which we all exist is really just one massive operating system by which we all must operate. Magik breaks the grip that this terrible conditioning has upon us, and gives us the tools by which we can function in society after being unhooked from the collective and suppressing social system. As already said, the power to overcome this influence is first discovered in the sphere of Tipareth when one confronts their Angel.
It’s through reductionism and the parsimony of human behavior that rationalism fulfills its exploits of humanity. This is all done in the name of progress. And, as the old cliché goes- for the good of the many, which is of course a lie and a talismanic slogan to sedate someone’s personal ambition and subject them to the herd mentality. The herd mentality is the invisible force of social control, the death of humankind, the enslaving current of the Black Brothers and the New World Order, which is of course world socialism and world communism. Ultimately, the conscious (and unconscious) mental energy of the herd supplies energy to the matrix.
Magik abhors a uniform culture and the culling of individual liberty. Therefore Magik’s enemies are the homogenizers, the communists, the Marxists, and the socialists. Culturalization and socialization are to Magicians euphemisms for homogenization and mass control. Magicians must work alone in order to remain free from the powerful social conditioning forces of the masses. Such is the oath of Silence to which the Magician and the Hermetic is bound.
Magik never moves in unison with society, it guides society from afar. Magikal thoughts create reality for those without Magikal thoughts. And again, this is done and conveyed to other people symbolically, and it operates upon the human brain subliminally. There’s really nothing mysterious about this process. The human nervous system is built to perceive the world in particular ways. For instance, the human eye is built to perceive visual stimuli through a light based activation process by which it responds to particles of light, which are called photons.
The problem of modern human society is that it’s propped up by synthetic concepts and illusions and people do not realize their impotency. Transmitting the meanings of symbols from one person to another becomes dogmatic. Traditionally, people interpret symbols with the dogma that they were given by their predecessors and the doctors of their system. It’s this force of collectivism that Magicians must first shed in order to come to a fuller potential and a richer existence.
The purpose of Magik is not to absorb dogma. The purpose is to use the mind to transform the body; the purpose of Magik is to create the conditions which allow one’s inner genius to emerge. Magik, properly understood, will transform one’s material body into a body of Light.
Because Magik is such an intense and occult process, Magicians must recruit modern science to help with the effort. The most able Magicians are always on the cutting edge of science. It’s through science that Magik gleans new methodologies to yield its desired ends. It’s the powerful combination of Magik and science, (or empiricism and creativity) that unleashes the true potential of humankind. The process of Magiko-scientific exploration has always driven human beings into the most profound regions of human potential. The exploration of a new synthesis of this process is the focus of this book.
It’s critical to understand that it’s inside every cell in the human body that Magikal transformation occurs. The ultimate end to modern Magik, and this book, is to explore a unique system of Magik that transforms human DNA meta-psychically. This is done through ritualizing particular behaviors which impact the nervous system, which then in turn transforms the body’s metabolic state, which then transforms the deeper neurological states, which ultimately powerfully impacts the body’s genetic code. The biological underpinnings of this process are being discovered by various domains in science, especially genetic neuroscience. It’s the Magikal community that will integrate these various sciences into an organized and useful system for people so that it can be applied to modern life.
One of the major problems people have with being successful with any type of spiritual development, especially Magik, is that they are too homogenized and can’t break free from the group mindset. Almost everyone with whom we come into contact suffers from world view syndrome. World view syndrome is what emerges when someone adopts other people’s adaptations or versions of an experience or situation instead of or as a replacement of one’s own actual world experience. This is of course a symptom of technology. There is no need to go into the massive literature on dreams and the ability of a dream to affect people’s behavior. In fact, whole societies have been based upon the interpretation and authenticity of an important person’s dream (i.e., the prophet Daniel, the dream of Joseph regarding the transfer of baby Jesus from Israel to Egypt, Constantine’s dream of the cross, Martin Luther King’s dream…etc.).
So it’s of course not difficult to understand how powerfully influential an actual electronic interface would be, knowing that our eyes send information that has been de/recoded chemically and electronically to interface on a cellular level from an outside source the same way whether it’s real, a dream, holographic, or even a simulacrum like a computer screen. This process is critical to understanding how information is dealt with visually and ultimately with all the other known human sensory modalities- touch, hearing, smell, and taste. But of course, there is the sum of these modalities, which is cognition, then the sum of cognition and the lesser of its parts, etc. This gives rise to an infinite regress. Ultimately, a dream and a computer screen are the same type of artificial two dimensional image.
This is the creative potency of humans, and this exactly is what drives us to live without real and absolute knowledge of what’s at stake. Other alien civilizations, possibly far more knowledgeable about the physical universe and the ways in which it operates, can still not do the simple things that we do and for the reasons that we do it. It’s this dynamic, the motivation conundrum, that has caused piles of words to fall from the mouths of the most debauched scientific men, angered, embittered, and pessimistic towards their materialist cause, to ultimately proclaim that parsimony and reductionism is not an end, but only an elementary tool. It’s about INTENT. Intent is an invisible and immeasurable factor in the equation of the doer. Intent is the X-factor in any Magik process. In the sterilized spiritless antihuman world view of the atheists and the Darwinists, there is no purpose to human existence; human life is simply a random accident, just an argument of probability and statistics.
However, this is not to be confused with the misunderstanding that intention is absolute. Of course, in Magik the rituals must be done. Only with ritual does intention become an exponential factor. Without the actual ritualistic work, intent is simply a flamboyant and flippant gesture into the wind. In other words, intention is not a substitute for discipline.
The old mess that still lurks throughout the dusty halls of the money grubbing legacy builders, which is an aberration from DO WHAT THOU WILT, should not be confused with the above words regarding intention. Just as the lazy drones took DO WHAT THOU WILT to mean do what you want, don’t confuse this important diatribe regarding intention as a similar opportunity for weakness. Because lazy people fester around occult matters, just as they fester around television sets, and movie theaters- just like other bugs, the mundane herds fester around flashy lights and illumination.
That all said, without a holistic understanding of the nature of our minds and bodies, and the electromagnetic current upon which consciousness draws its perceptions, people will not be able to illuminate their soul.
The soul resides inside the nucleus of each cell in the human body. The soul has three stages of development, the Ka, Khabs, and the Khu.
Technically speaking, the purpose of ritual Magik is to create stimuli through which our brains generate new neuronal connections and pathways. These neural pathways become portals to subtle etheric realms outside the normal spectrum of human perception. Magicians then continue to reinforce these neural pathways ritualistically in order to build and maintain their astral temple. Such pathways, as every other neural circuitry, interact with the human organism metabolically, which then affects the individual’s genetics.
However, a critical aspect of understanding one’s genetic capabilities and shortfalls is in knowledge of one’s history. For instance, knowing that one’s family history includes diabetes allows for preventative measures to suppress the gene. Similarly, with Magik, knowing human history can offer a more complete comprehension of human potential.
Really, not until the early industrial era in the mid 1800’s did human beings have the opportunity to express themselves individually. There’s simply been no room in western society before collective imperialism to allow a sense of individuality to emerge in individuals. That is, to allow a sense of individuality to emerge beyond that which is under the direct influence of the state or the cult. Still today, people’s individuality is being powerfully suppressed both by themselves and institutions. Suppression of individuality has caused a catastrophic psychosis in modern civilization. This is the origin of the herd mindset.
The safety of lacking an individual consciousness is a powerful drive to which humankind is once again on the verge of completely digressing. The radical call for socialism and communism in current societies relates this primeval fear of self actualization and self responsibility. This is not the case for the Magicians. We now face a battle on the Earth which is for our personal Liberty and Magikal heritage.
Instead of looking into their own consciousness and experiences for knowledge and guidance, people will seek society’s experts, leaders, or gurus to guide them through the wilderness of their lives. The ritual of the Knowledge and Conversation with one’s Holy Guardian Angel gives individuals the power to abandon mass opinions so that the SELF can emerge as guide.
The emerging archetypes of the internet, mass communication, and global society will become powerful mental constructs. They will be used to suppress genetic predispositions for individualistic thinking and individual behavior. Powerful urges such as these are deeply entrenched in modern society. Fortunately, the awake are given the opportunity to break free during certain times in the transit of the solar system.
Until recently, psychologists believed that once an individual’s brain had stopped developing, no new neuronal generation occurred. This is now known to be false. In fact, adults continue to generate new neurons until death. This means that all through the course of human development, the human brain is still making room for new knowledge and new concepts. This neural generation is the essence upon which ritual Magik and the human genome’s symbiotic relationship is based, and how it’s bound to the galaxy and the Sun’s transit through it.
Therefore, now instead of balancing the traditional four elements associated with Magik (earth, air, water, and fire), we seek to explore the 7 regions of the hyper-human universe. Each of the 7 regions is a portal to another dimension; the regions are the Metaphoric, Metaphysic, Metatonic, Metabolic, Metapsychic, Metacthonic, and Metatronic. These 7 primal domains are explored with all the rigor, attention, and calculations of a modern scientific laboratory.
If this system of Magik is followed, and the work is done with an empirical approach, success is inevitable.
After the emergence of the Holy Guardian Angel (H.G.A.), the aspirant will have the Knowledge to compose their own rites. Composing one’s own rituals is critical because each individual has a particular phenotype, and in order to interact with their own phenotype the rites must be individually tailored. Of course, this can only be done by the actual individual.
Once one’s Magik is understood, and the matrix of sameness is seen, the initiate is immediately pulled into the Abyss. The Abyss is a state of complete mystical entrenchment. When inside the Abyss one loses their old personality, often one will shed old social relationships and even make a career change. The Abyss forces one to question everything they had previously thought they had known. In the Abyss, the Mage learns to put every part of themselves against its opposite- people meet their shadow.
After exiting the Abyss, the Magician rises as a Metatron. A Metatron is Supernal, and has activated and suppressed the proper aspects to their genetic code. Activating their full genetic potential ascends them to the realm of the Immortals. Enoch and Elijah would be examples of Metatronic adepts, because they did not have to die physically in order to ascend.
At this time, it’s critical for humankind to regain an aptitude for the esoteric traditions because modern civilization has been driven from truth and has descended into a deep illusion. Sciences, religions, international-banks, governments, and others, all hope to grab the mantle of power by which the illusion is controlled. In madness, no doubt the rabble will soon banish the Creator from the creation altogether, and we will witness the emergence of the humanity-gods.
Dark days are ahead; the myths that condition humankind are archaic and insidious, and are mutating into greater and more deadly monsters. One must be adept in many various systems and histories, otherwise the chaos becomes overwhelming and creativity is turned off. In order to learn to Magikally navigate through the chaos, one must be devoted first to THEMSELVES, and then to the Art. We are in fact in the midst of a diabolical genetic war.
It’s critical to maintain a Magikal focus because evil is attempting to create for humankind a New World religion. This religion is a pseudo scientific centralized dictatorial oligarchy of fierce eugenics, genocide, deception, and slavery. However, this world governmental religion will be promoted as peace. It will be zealously accepted by many as the only means to save the world and it will be harshly forced upon the dissenters. The basis of this doctrine has three components: that humankind is an animal, that all life emerged from an inorganic and inanimate cosmic soup, and that human civilization has always advanced linearly.
This doctrine, however, is simply a means by which humankind is being further separated from its true history and potential. All this, so humankind will be taken by the ultimate deception that an invading alien race is the gods of the human race, and that they should submit to the will of the invading aliens, which will be first co-inhabitation, then genetic fusion.
This doctrine is being cast over the population by first eliminating the nation state, and all social constructs that separate people ethnically and racially. Once people accept all humanity as one people, then the conditioning will begin. The conditioning suggesting that all races in the galaxy are one united people, and so forth. In this way, the socialist/communist deception being spun around the masses currently is simply the starting point for manipulating humans to consider alien races as brethren.
People who want to maintain the sovereignty of the Earth, and maintain humans as the only inhabitants, will be considered galactic racists. Ridding the Earth of the nation state, and steeping the entire world in an ultra left-winged radical type of socialism is the current strategy being made by the traitor humans on behalf of their alien overlords.
Evolution is a major part of this manipulation. Evolutionarily reducing all life to protoplasm is the religion of the antihuman and the method by which the doctrine of alien cohabitation is being begun. There’s no scientific system that can demonstrate the fundamental notion of modern scientific cosmology- that organic life emerged from in-organic matter. But still, people hate God, and they froth at the mouth over the concept of a full blown secular Earth, governed by atheist scientists and corrupt legislators.
To most people who have no higher cause or belief in God, science is a religious faith to which they emotionally cling as much as the fundamentalist of any overt religion. The truth is that unless one is actually doing science, it’s difficult to discriminate between legitimate experimental sciences like molecular chemistry and physics, from pseudo science and scientific mythologies like man-made global warming, the Big Bang, or the emergence of life and selective human evolution and the Darwinian continuity of the species.
Emmanuel Kant pondered what provoked humankind’s religious belief in a God. Kant stated he was awed by two things, the starry heavens and man’s accountability to God. Many believe that an accountability to God exists because humankind is fearful, and this of course would be the claim of the atheists. However, humankind’s accountability to God exists in spite of its fear, not due to it. And despite all the human experience and testaments to the contrary, the naysayers continue to chant their slogans that a belief in an immaterial and infinite God is a delusion and a psychopathological symptom, and is keeping humankind from any real progress.
The basis of the emerging New World religion is a concentration on material reality. It claims that reality is the objective consensus of the state of things, reality is where the known laws of physics operate reliably. In this materialist faith, RATIONALITY is GOD.
Interestingly, also rationality is becoming lost to people. There’s an attempt to shut off our rational faculties with chemicals in our food, psychopharmacological drugs, and a steady flow of propaganda. All this, while at the same time trying to enthrone rational sense as GOD. This is the paradox of the Black Brotherhood.
The diabolical combination of chemically toxic food, psycho-active pharmacology, and political and social propaganda is a gestalt drip-feed type of brainwashing that the masses have been conditioned to accept and to self administer. And because the bulk of the population is undernourished, dumbed-down, and drugged, any criticism towards the mainline social program is met with vicious retaliation from the overlords and their herds.
As said, a fundamental deception of the radical socialist agenda that’s being cast over the human race is that there is a reality, and reality is physical. Really, there’s no underlying reality at all. Reality is an illusion, or more accurately a 2 dimensional hologram that’s being projected onto our neo-cortex, that can be transformed from moment to moment, image to image, and from concept to concept. And this of course is all based upon perspective and various levels of individual perceptive acuity.
Quantum theorists and psychologists both have laboratory evidence that an observer of any natural phenomenon alters the phenomenon simply by observing it. If we look closely there’s a play on words here, because to alter consciousness, the Magician does his work upon an altar. For this reason it’s critical for Magicians to not cross the planes- meaning, not to confuse the possibilities in one realm with the possibilities of another (i.e., the events in the atomic and the subatomic worlds are not interchangeable in this reality).
Magikal systems of the past gave the elemental formulas (earth, air, fire, and water) so people could learn about the critical harmonics of the Ka, Khabs, and Khu. Now, S S S is with mankind to help those who wish to move into the New Aeon armed with Magikal rites specifically formulated for the onslaught and clash of forces in the looming genetic war. The world is on the brink of a darkness not yet known to the mind of humankind, and many will not survive the coming smash.
The Magik of S S S is a Magik of work, not hope. The substrate Law of the Strong given in Crowley’s Book of the Law, which states that ‘Slaves shall serve,’ made certain this new genetic Magik.
When the New Age of Hrumachis comes upon the Earth, the Law of the Strong will be the substrate upon which people will be emboldened and wage fierce battle for the human soul and for the LORD. This terrible war will be initiated by rebellions that engulf the cities after the first wave of alien/human hybrids begin to be announced. By this point, most of the population will have been brainwashed into supporting the destruction of individuality and of the human genome. The herds will clamor to mix human DNA with the invading alien race. Again, under the deception that this race is our gods and we are being genetically upgraded.
People will not be able to fathom that this race is a parasitic and diabolical race that has been attempting to fuse their genes with human genes for ages. People will not believe the true diabolical nature and intent of the invaders, because as all devils, they will cloak themselves in peace and dupe the weak willed.
This plan involves this invading races’ inability to procreate. But, they are able to clone themselves, and have manipulated the human genome in the past. However, they are unable to genetically clone humans without both male and female human DNA so they have to mix their own genes in as a third component. Ultimately, they want to be able to rid the human male gene, and fuse their genes directly with human women’s genes alone. This genetic creation, they believe, will be able to reproduce, which again they are currently unable to do. If they do not figure out how to create offspring that can reproduce, their race will soon cease to exist. In fact, as they are sterile, they are a dying breed.
An ambition to re-create the mythological paradise is maintained by the sorcerers who have given themselves over to this diabolical cause. Ambition is the substrate upon which the utopia concept is layered, and which premises the ultimate deception that this ancient memory of a paradise of complete health and long life will be available with the grace of this invading race and the genetic disposition that will be benefitted to humankind through the genetic fusion of the two races.
People’s personal ambitions often force them into the service of others. In this case, people who serve the alien overlords and betray their human brethren are ambitious to receive the gifts that they have been promised, which are of course lies. Therefore adepts of Magik choose wisely which personal ambitions they serve, and try to determine who else their ambitions might force them to serve.
We inherited our God from Egypt. The Egyptians were originally monotheistic. And according to the Egyptian myth, Amen-Ra created the entire universe with a Magik word because he wanted to be known. Amen-Ra created Shu and Tefnet, which symbolize wet and dry, and Nu and Seb which are Heaven and Earth. And from the union of Heaven and Earth came five children, Osiris, Isis, Set, Heru, Nebt.
Osiris was the Man-God, the Son of God, who conquered death through resurrection. It’s clear that the Judeo-Christian doctrine had been inherited from Egypt, and it plainly states in the Old Testament that Moses was learned in the ways of the Egyptians. S S S teaches that ideologies that convey an afterlife were actual scientific processes of the original creators of humankind, and the universe. Ideologies that teach polytheism and of earth worship, and no individual identity in the afterlife are degradations of the true religion of the stars, given to humankind after the genetic manipulation of the human race. Through the ages, prophets have conveyed the process by which humankind could return to the ultimate LIGHT. Osiris was probably the first of these prophets. Christ of course was the first organic incarnation of actual Light.
The Orders of the White Brotherhood such as S S S offer human beings their true identity and prepare the human race for the return of the LORD of LIGHT and the imminent battle with the invading alien race.
The ultimate aim of those using the Babalonian New World system is to implement control upon the whole Earth through a centrally controlled global pseudo scientific religious dictatorship, a bureaucracy in which the world can be properly propagandized to accept the message of the alien overlords.
There are four main cults that operate as parts of the Babalonian machine. The star cult or the stellar cult publicly worships the Sun, but secretly they worship Promethius and Lucifer, who were of course the invading alien race. The cult of Saturn is the legal arm of the system, the lawyers, judges, and domestic police. The cult of the virgin goddess and the moon is the national cult, which will be the first to be dissolved with the undoing of the nation state. And the Aryan cult, which provides the critical blood sacrifices to the gods through the rituals of warfare. All of the cults use ritualistic pedophilia and human sacrifice. The war must be done alchemically.
In alchemy, Magnum Opus (the Great Work) is believed by many to be the emergence of the man-god; symbolized by the transmutation of metals from the base to the precious. This metaphor is correct in that the true Philosopher’s Stone is the making of a man-god, but the proper key to this occult method has been lost. The secrets of this art have decorated the temples in Egypt, especially Abydos and Karnak, for over 6000 years and still are available in the plain open for anyone who wishes to be initiated into this Magik.
Initiates of S S S learn to read many ancient languages, including Egyptian hieroglyphics, in order to experience the primary occult systems and read the materials first hand instead of relying upon others to translate and interpret the texts. Rarely do people with both legitimate scientific and experimental experience and a deep interest in the occult advance writings relating to or regarding to ancient texts of Magik. It’s believed that the most ancient structures were attempts by the invading alien races through the ages to mimic the first Pyramids of On, which were built by our true creators and God race.
After the fall of Egypt and the bulk of the culture lost its ability to read the sacred hieroglyphics, long after the invading alien race superimposed the controlling doctrine over the ancient Egyptian religion of Osiris, the star religion was put into the secret societies, sub rosa as it’s said. It still remains there today and is used as an occult force to control the populations. The inner religion of the New World Order is in fact that of ancient Egypt, but this is never communicated to the public overtly, it’s done symbolically.
The secret doctrine is embedded into the tales of Atlantis, which became the controlling system of Egypt and thus the New World Order: the genetic procreation of the human race without sex (i.e., human cloning), the hierarchical structure of matter, and the afterlife.
The ruling classes keep this alchemical-genetic agenda secret. This conspiracy was initially called Babalon, and was the scheme of Nimrod. The Greeks inherited the program and the secrets were kept in the lineage of Socrates and the Boulomai, and culminated with Alexander. Socrates was executed because he was divulging the secret doctrine to the rabble. The Romans called the tyranny the Republic, and celebrated its accomplishments under the rhetoric of the Pax Romana. After the fall of the Roman Empire the Holy Roman Empire (the Church) of the middle ages called the global agenda the Crusades. Today the global tyranny has many names, globalization, environmentalism, Socialism, political correctness, and the New World Order are but a few.
Today this agenda has been disseminated under the language of modernization, or industrialization. The United Nations is the most publicly visible mechanism for this agenda. The agenda is financed by global banks; this is the secret of the secular temple.
As said, the Tree of Life is a metaphor for DNA. The entwined snake suggests the activation of the serpent, or the Nephilim genetic. The Qabala is a mnemonic device, and a system of intonations for God-names such as yd# l), which is Saturn. Also, it’s a method of assimilating mathematical ideas into human consciousness. Learning to intone the names is critical to the Qabalistic and Magikal system of S S S .
The Qabala is also a mathematical system that’s used to activate and transmute the genetic code of a human being. It’s a tool by which humans activate their genetic potential by a top down process instead of a bottom up process like the New World Order’s materialistic and tenuous theory of selective and linear human evolution. For this reason, Qabala has been historically suppressed.
S S S teaches a process of changing the mind and body with internal and extra-psychical means, instead of simply allowing the external physical environment to control the mind and change the body.
Darwinian evolution suggests that evolution is a bottom up process, meaning that environmental conditions cause biological change. This means that humankind is a simple reactionary organism that has no stake in its own evolution. This is of course rejected by Magik, and especially by S S S , which stipulates that each individual may psychically cause his own genetic awakening, and then thus trigger the genetic awakening of others. Again, this is why occult knowledge is suppressed.
The Aeon of Horus as proclaimed by Aleister Crowley in 1904, in Cairo Egypt, with the transmission of the Book of the Law from Aiwass, an extra-dimensional intelligence, over the course of three days. Since the time of the proclamation of this Law, the world has spun into chaos. Now, more than a century after the initiation of the New Aeon, it has become clear that the Aeon that Crowley proclaimed is waning and we are now upon the dawn of the rise of Heru Ma Khuit, the double wanded serpent god, the resurrected sun god to prehistoric Egypt.
Hru Ma means literally in Egyptian the lion faced- Hru meaning face, and Ma meaning lion. The lions are the kings, thus the KINGU, the rebel that was mixed with mankind. This was the legend of Nimrod, and Gilgamesh transforming into a strong man- a GIBORUM. Hru Ma is the lion faced aryan god, seen on Mars as the anthropomorphic lion-faced man. The lion is the serpent, the permutations of the quadrennial points of the precession. This war has been embedded into the stone monuments of Giza.
One of the names of Horus was Heru Paar Kraat. Heru Paar Kraat was a warrior god, thereby a god of destruction and analysis. Heru Maa Kuit is a God of Magik and Awakening, thus creation and synthesis.
Since Crowley’s prophecies have come to pass the world has been brought to global war numerous times, and has been on the brink of global destruction for almost a century with the nuclear age. As the system fully comes to a crash, those who will inherit the human race shall be those of the Law, the ‘Kings of the Earth.’ But they shall also know that this is a lie against them.
Those who can not escape enslavement shall become fodder for the kings, Strong men who roam the face of the Earth. It’s those who can’t emancipate themselves from the group mind, those who have no strength to die for their own Liberty that shall lose everything. This is the ‘Law of the Strong.’
In this New Age, a Magikal philosophy is being replaced by a Magikal methodology. The Magik of Horus was victory and vengeance, and the Magik of Hrumachis is alchemy and transformation. The Law of qelhma is being replaced by the Law of Magik. This is because the current of qelhma has been disgraced and has fallen to the hands of clowns; it has become worthless to the intense galactic power of the Aeon that humankind now faces. qelhma is so blind that it ignores the problem exists.
qelhma was a solar/cosmic law, this is obsolete. We now understand the law of galactic heliocentricity and are accorded with a cosmic and galactic law as Magi. We recognize the solar and phallic tradition of the old age, that wonderful Magikal Thelemic age from which we have all been nurtured and educated. However, the battle for which we have been preparing is coming swiftly, and Thelema is not enough to defeat our enemies. Thelemic Magik will not stand to face this dragon. Understand that S S S is a system not to replace qelhma, but to be placed above it, as a superimposition.
Do what thou wilt was a substrate upon which chaos was brewed. Thus, now the next Magus must come to that formula and place it into action. In order to break up the minds of the old slave age, it was first necessary to initiate a rebellion. Now that generations have past, the rebellion is waning and the rabble must again be awoken to serve a new Magik Law. A nobler Law of humankind are the laws given by S S S , which shall put order to the entropic chasm of Magik which sprawls out before us in the Xaos storm.
The aeons of the gods are not all fixed in time as the prophets of previous ages believed. We use the equinoctial precession as a symbolic interface with these great ages. But in reality, and more Magikally, these ages through which we move are not fixed, but they interact with the human central nervous system. And, the larger our concept of the universe, the faster come the dawns of the ages.
In the Age of Osiris, a transition was made into the Magikal formula of the dying and resurrecting god, as with the Aeon of Horus there was a transition from the dying god to the self-god. Now with the Aeon of Hrumachis the Magikal formula is that of eternal consciousness- called Sa’ON. So we transition from the self-god, to the un-god. In the ancient Egyptian tongue this is said as A-nu’k Sa’ON, which means I am a child of ON.
It’s realized that after the purge, those who advance forward into the New Jerusalem and the new Earth will understand this New Law. A large portion of the population never accepted the formula of the dying god, and these bloodlines are forever doomed. Those who learned of the dying god, but have not accepted the Law of Thelema still have a chance to survive.
However, the kings shall be those who accept the continuity of their own consciousness. The gate of the dying god has closed; the gate of the self-god is closing, at which time the monsters will be let loose. Those who will survive will move ahead with their own proclivities, and those who ignore their own SOUL, or offer it up to the great dissolution, which is the end of the human genome and the new fusion that will be attempted, will be doomed. Only those who will survive are those without the Mark of the Beast, which is of course, the alien genetic component that’s waiting to be mixed with humankind.
Symbols are a powerful occult force that’s at the heart of all human cultural experience. Symbols can be used as a tool of suppression as is the case in politics, or it can be used for liberation as is the case with metaphysics and especially Magik.
The reason that people confuse Magik and basic symbolism is because the nature of a Magikal symbol can’t be conveyed through language. Magikal symbols are much different than the ordinary types of symbols known and used by everyone. The main difference between a symbol used for Magikal purposes and a symbol used for mundane purposes is that a Magik symbol has an entirely personal definition, and therefore is only potent to the individual that actually created the symbol. Symbols that are not created for a specific purpose are ambiguous and worthless; they are not Magikal unless they are geared for a specific intent.
Non individualized symbols have ambiguous meanings not because of the inherent nature of the symbol’s relationship with the perceiver, but because the perceiver has been in contact and subjected to the descriptions and biases of other people regarding the symbol. This alone demeans the symbol, and causes a degeneration of its Magikal potency. Thus, it’s mundane, like a county map or a grocery store receipt, or a political slogan.
For a Magik symbol to be comprehended it must be directly experienced. Direct experience is the thesis of the Magikal system that’s put forth in this book. Psychologist William James understood the necessity of direct experience in order for people to understand the reality and nature of something and how it affects them. James used the example of a child and a flame, to understand fire and the full nature of fire someone must first put their finger to the flame and get burnt.
Similarly, to begin to understand Magik one must begin to do Magik. One must move forward working their Magikal regimen knowing that it’s a technology in which symbols are used to interface with the human nervous system. Using symbols to interact with human neurology will in turn transform and unlock dormant aspects of the human genome that need to be activated for further Magikal initiation. Therefore, ultimately, Magik must be experiential.
The reason that symbols can be used for such powerful cognitive purposes is that symbols are configured with both historical and personal components. Language, gestures, icons, and artifacts are all types of symbols with highly sophisticated personal and cultural interpretations and explanations, and none of which’s meanings are fully transmittable from one person to another. In this sense, all symbols contain secrets because although people may explain their interpretation of a symbol, they would still be unable to explain their complete perception and their fullest conceptualizations about the symbol and how it affects them mentally, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.
Human behavior in the modern world is mostly symbolic. People don’t usually consider that most of their behavior is symbolic. Therefore people do not intentionally and willfully interact with the symbolic realm or repertoire that has covertly been generated around them over the course of their lives. Unfortunately, mostly people’s symbolic repertoire is created for them through suggestions and impressions made by culture and media.
Culture is a man-made social network, a simulacrum by which we can all experience the same reality and experience the same sensations through the same coherent symbol system. Once this matrix of sameness is perceived, the knowledge of it becomes the force that thrusts the Magician into the Abyss. This is one of the great Ordeals of S S S . If the matrix of sameness is not perceived, it will provide countless pleasures for a person.
Magikal symbols ultimately give human beings a cognitive type of depth perception. Magicians reprogram their whole psyche with symbols and thus enter into a whole new realm of reality with which most people’s central nervous system has not been exposed and therefore can not perceive. Once people enrich their lives with the colorful and powerful use of intentional and Magikal symbolism, they will begin to experience the world in a new and individual way.
There are many kinds of symbols. The most powerful symbols are of course those that interact neurologically with human emotions and empathy. Potent iconic imagery, such as that found in mythology, inspires the perceiver with reality transforming cognitions, which then will generate new neural pathways and neural connections which over time will formulate new concepts in the mind of the perceiver, and thus a whole new reality. Some of the most potent symbols today, although ill used and serve to oppress people’s individuality and creativity, are money, corporate logos, and political iconography. The Magikal power of symbols is that they generate an actual neural substrate in the form of electricity, chemicals, and electromagnetic energy, upon which people can weave the fabric of their reality or various realities, store that information, and use it to interface with unknown parts of the universe. Correctly used, the brain is a technology for activating a Magik portal.
O n a practical psychological level, symbols are aggregates of visual representations of often highly complex and far reaching concepts that lose something when put into a simple lexicon. When the meaning of a Magikal symbol is attempted to be explained, the essence typically can’t be captured.
In society, people spend lots of conscious energy trying to extract the various kinds of information that the social world has embedded into symbols. The speed at which one operates and can utilize symbolic and coded information within any symbolic system depends not only upon one’s comprehension of the symbol system itself, but also of the complexity of the occult nature of symbols, themselves, and the world around them. In other words, with symbols- context is everything!
One of the most mysterious systems of symbols is words. Words are intensely symbolic. Words are not just practical, but are also hieroglyphs and sigils which have been both socially and individually imbued with vast meaning. Words are embedded with essence and principles which empower it to invoke concepts and images in the mind of the perceiver. For instance, seeing the word windmill will no doubt almost instantaneously cause the image of a windmill to invade your mind. This is so automatic that it’s practically unstoppable. This example is just a simple illustration of the extreme power of language.
In fact, language is a social grimoire, and it’s entirely overlooked as a Magik book of spells.
The English language may be one of the most potent Magikal grimoires currently on the planet. Just think of the powerful impact English has had upon the Earth and the immense power that the fluent English speaker commands in the modern world. For this reason an English Qabala is used by S S S , as dictated by the Law of the Old Aeon in Liber Legis in 1904 (the Book of the Law).
The power of sound is described in many ancient texts. When sound is combined with meaning, it generates a powerful cognitive realm that ultimately provides the mental associative vibration and symbolic substrate upon which human development occurs.
Psychology adopted the motto nature vs. nurture to describe what affects development. Nature and nurture imply the convergence and divergence of two key components of human reality— genetics and environment. These two components are also of critical importance to modern Magik. In S S S , nature is DNA, nurture is ritual. These two components are linked and held together by sound, and sound is ultimately just a byproduct of movement.
One of the ramifications of language and Magik is that it changes people’s perceptions, their behavior, and thus their personal experience. People’s personal experience of course plays a critical role in the types of meanings and interpretations they imbue to particular symbols and how they will use the symbols. For this reason, a massive effort exists to collectivize culture, so that there is no discrepancy in what certain things mean. This is the story of the Tower of Babel, a global language and system of control. This illusion is broken with the initiation of Tipareth and the dawn of a person’s Khabs.
In modern society, one of the great barriers keeping people from Magikal success is that they are told by science that they are animals. And, animals behave in expected ways. Psychology has hashed out much of the mysterious nature to animal behavior in behaviorist laboratories. Many behaviors have been classified and how to systematically manipulate animal behavior has been largely revealed. Once behaviors are classified and understood they are said to be stereotypical of the particular animal and are expected to be predictable.
Similar to the way in which psychologists scrutinize and manipulate animal behavior in laboratories in order to learn to control the animal’s behavior, institutions inside society perform the same types of manipulations to control people, this is the origin of the matrix of sameness. The matrix of sameness is actually perceived as stereotypes and expected behaviors that are transmitted to people symbolically through cultural systems such as media and entertainment. People adopt stereotyped behaviors because they are lured by the power that these behaviors wield over others, which is of course an illusion. Powerful media-manufactured personalities which are known to succeed in the man-made social world are adopted by people because of the reliability of these prepackaged and mass produced personalities.
Psychologist Lev Vygotsky suggested that animals are unable to perform behaviors that are meaningless to the context of an actual situation. They are incapable of performing actions which are arbitrary or sense-less. They are devoid of creativity. Suppressing someone’s creativity is Black Magik, as it dehumanizes people and makes them act like laboratory rats. It’s critical not to underestimate the powerful influence that the media has upon all of our cognitions and thus all of our behaviors. Really, our entire social reality is a holographic construct of the media, including not only our thoughts, but the words we use to describe our thoughts. The homogenous matrix in which we all exist is really just one massive operating system by which we all must operate. Magik breaks the grip that this terrible conditioning has upon us, and gives us the tools by which we can function in society after being unhooked from the collective and suppressing social system. As already said, the power to overcome this influence is first discovered in the sphere of Tipareth when one confronts their Angel.
It’s through reductionism and the parsimony of human behavior that rationalism fulfills its exploits of humanity. This is all done in the name of progress. And, as the old cliché goes- for the good of the many, which is of course a lie and a talismanic slogan to sedate someone’s personal ambition and subject them to the herd mentality. The herd mentality is the invisible force of social control, the death of humankind, the enslaving current of the Black Brothers and the New World Order, which is of course world socialism and world communism. Ultimately, the conscious (and unconscious) mental energy of the herd supplies energy to the matrix.
Magik abhors a uniform culture and the culling of individual liberty. Therefore Magik’s enemies are the homogenizers, the communists, the Marxists, and the socialists. Culturalization and socialization are to Magicians euphemisms for homogenization and mass control. Magicians must work alone in order to remain free from the powerful social conditioning forces of the masses. Such is the oath of Silence to which the Magician and the Hermetic is bound.
Magik never moves in unison with society, it guides society from afar. Magikal thoughts create reality for those without Magikal thoughts. And again, this is done and conveyed to other people symbolically, and it operates upon the human brain subliminally. There’s really nothing mysterious about this process. The human nervous system is built to perceive the world in particular ways. For instance, the human eye is built to perceive visual stimuli through a light based activation process by which it responds to particles of light, which are called photons.
The problem of modern human society is that it’s propped up by synthetic concepts and illusions and people do not realize their impotency. Transmitting the meanings of symbols from one person to another becomes dogmatic. Traditionally, people interpret symbols with the dogma that they were given by their predecessors and the doctors of their system. It’s this force of collectivism that Magicians must first shed in order to come to a fuller potential and a richer existence.
The purpose of Magik is not to absorb dogma. The purpose is to use the mind to transform the body; the purpose of Magik is to create the conditions which allow one’s inner genius to emerge. Magik, properly understood, will transform one’s material body into a body of Light.
Because Magik is such an intense and occult process, Magicians must recruit modern science to help with the effort. The most able Magicians are always on the cutting edge of science. It’s through science that Magik gleans new methodologies to yield its desired ends. It’s the powerful combination of Magik and science, (or empiricism and creativity) that unleashes the true potential of humankind. The process of Magiko-scientific exploration has always driven human beings into the most profound regions of human potential. The exploration of a new synthesis of this process is the focus of this book.
It’s critical to understand that it’s inside every cell in the human body that Magikal transformation occurs. The ultimate end to modern Magik, and this book, is to explore a unique system of Magik that transforms human DNA meta-psychically. This is done through ritualizing particular behaviors which impact the nervous system, which then in turn transforms the body’s metabolic state, which then transforms the deeper neurological states, which ultimately powerfully impacts the body’s genetic code. The biological underpinnings of this process are being discovered by various domains in science, especially genetic neuroscience. It’s the Magikal community that will integrate these various sciences into an organized and useful system for people so that it can be applied to modern life.
One of the major problems people have with being successful with any type of spiritual development, especially Magik, is that they are too homogenized and can’t break free from the group mindset. Almost everyone with whom we come into contact suffers from world view syndrome. World view syndrome is what emerges when someone adopts other people’s adaptations or versions of an experience or situation instead of or as a replacement of one’s own actual world experience. This is of course a symptom of technology. There is no need to go into the massive literature on dreams and the ability of a dream to affect people’s behavior. In fact, whole societies have been based upon the interpretation and authenticity of an important person’s dream (i.e., the prophet Daniel, the dream of Joseph regarding the transfer of baby Jesus from Israel to Egypt, Constantine’s dream of the cross, Martin Luther King’s dream…etc.).
So it’s of course not difficult to understand how powerfully influential an actual electronic interface would be, knowing that our eyes send information that has been de/recoded chemically and electronically to interface on a cellular level from an outside source the same way whether it’s real, a dream, holographic, or even a simulacrum like a computer screen. This process is critical to understanding how information is dealt with visually and ultimately with all the other known human sensory modalities- touch, hearing, smell, and taste. But of course, there is the sum of these modalities, which is cognition, then the sum of cognition and the lesser of its parts, etc. This gives rise to an infinite regress. Ultimately, a dream and a computer screen are the same type of artificial two dimensional image.
This is the creative potency of humans, and this exactly is what drives us to live without real and absolute knowledge of what’s at stake. Other alien civilizations, possibly far more knowledgeable about the physical universe and the ways in which it operates, can still not do the simple things that we do and for the reasons that we do it. It’s this dynamic, the motivation conundrum, that has caused piles of words to fall from the mouths of the most debauched scientific men, angered, embittered, and pessimistic towards their materialist cause, to ultimately proclaim that parsimony and reductionism is not an end, but only an elementary tool. It’s about INTENT. Intent is an invisible and immeasurable factor in the equation of the doer. Intent is the X-factor in any Magik process. In the sterilized spiritless antihuman world view of the atheists and the Darwinists, there is no purpose to human existence; human life is simply a random accident, just an argument of probability and statistics.
However, this is not to be confused with the misunderstanding that intention is absolute. Of course, in Magik the rituals must be done. Only with ritual does intention become an exponential factor. Without the actual ritualistic work, intent is simply a flamboyant and flippant gesture into the wind. In other words, intention is not a substitute for discipline.
The old mess that still lurks throughout the dusty halls of the money grubbing legacy builders, which is an aberration from DO WHAT THOU WILT, should not be confused with the above words regarding intention. Just as the lazy drones took DO WHAT THOU WILT to mean do what you want, don’t confuse this important diatribe regarding intention as a similar opportunity for weakness. Because lazy people fester around occult matters, just as they fester around television sets, and movie theaters- just like other bugs, the mundane herds fester around flashy lights and illumination.
That all said, without a holistic understanding of the nature of our minds and bodies, and the electromagnetic current upon which consciousness draws its perceptions, people will not be able to illuminate their soul.
The soul resides inside the nucleus of each cell in the human body. The soul has three stages of development, the Ka, Khabs, and the Khu.
Technically speaking, the purpose of ritual Magik is to create stimuli through which our brains generate new neuronal connections and pathways. These neural pathways become portals to subtle etheric realms outside the normal spectrum of human perception. Magicians then continue to reinforce these neural pathways ritualistically in order to build and maintain their astral temple. Such pathways, as every other neural circuitry, interact with the human organism metabolically, which then affects the individual’s genetics.
However, a critical aspect of understanding one’s genetic capabilities and shortfalls is in knowledge of one’s history. For instance, knowing that one’s family history includes diabetes allows for preventative measures to suppress the gene. Similarly, with Magik, knowing human history can offer a more complete comprehension of human potential.
Really, not until the early industrial era in the mid 1800’s did human beings have the opportunity to express themselves individually. There’s simply been no room in western society before collective imperialism to allow a sense of individuality to emerge in individuals. That is, to allow a sense of individuality to emerge beyond that which is under the direct influence of the state or the cult. Still today, people’s individuality is being powerfully suppressed both by themselves and institutions. Suppression of individuality has caused a catastrophic psychosis in modern civilization. This is the origin of the herd mindset.
The safety of lacking an individual consciousness is a powerful drive to which humankind is once again on the verge of completely digressing. The radical call for socialism and communism in current societies relates this primeval fear of self actualization and self responsibility. This is not the case for the Magicians. We now face a battle on the Earth which is for our personal Liberty and Magikal heritage.
Instead of looking into their own consciousness and experiences for knowledge and guidance, people will seek society’s experts, leaders, or gurus to guide them through the wilderness of their lives. The ritual of the Knowledge and Conversation with one’s Holy Guardian Angel gives individuals the power to abandon mass opinions so that the SELF can emerge as guide.
The emerging archetypes of the internet, mass communication, and global society will become powerful mental constructs. They will be used to suppress genetic predispositions for individualistic thinking and individual behavior. Powerful urges such as these are deeply entrenched in modern society. Fortunately, the awake are given the opportunity to break free during certain times in the transit of the solar system.
Until recently, psychologists believed that once an individual’s brain had stopped developing, no new neuronal generation occurred. This is now known to be false. In fact, adults continue to generate new neurons until death. This means that all through the course of human development, the human brain is still making room for new knowledge and new concepts. This neural generation is the essence upon which ritual Magik and the human genome’s symbiotic relationship is based, and how it’s bound to the galaxy and the Sun’s transit through it.
Therefore, now instead of balancing the traditional four elements associated with Magik (earth, air, water, and fire), we seek to explore the 7 regions of the hyper-human universe. Each of the 7 regions is a portal to another dimension; the regions are the Metaphoric, Metaphysic, Metatonic, Metabolic, Metapsychic, Metacthonic, and Metatronic. These 7 primal domains are explored with all the rigor, attention, and calculations of a modern scientific laboratory.
If this system of Magik is followed, and the work is done with an empirical approach, success is inevitable.
After the emergence of the Holy Guardian Angel (H.G.A.), the aspirant will have the Knowledge to compose their own rites. Composing one’s own rituals is critical because each individual has a particular phenotype, and in order to interact with their own phenotype the rites must be individually tailored. Of course, this can only be done by the actual individual.
Once one’s Magik is understood, and the matrix of sameness is seen, the initiate is immediately pulled into the Abyss. The Abyss is a state of complete mystical entrenchment. When inside the Abyss one loses their old personality, often one will shed old social relationships and even make a career change. The Abyss forces one to question everything they had previously thought they had known. In the Abyss, the Mage learns to put every part of themselves against its opposite- people meet their shadow.
After exiting the Abyss, the Magician rises as a Metatron. A Metatron is Supernal, and has activated and suppressed the proper aspects to their genetic code. Activating their full genetic potential ascends them to the realm of the Immortals. Enoch and Elijah would be examples of Metatronic adepts, because they did not have to die physically in order to ascend.
At this time, it’s critical for humankind to regain an aptitude for the esoteric traditions because modern civilization has been driven from truth and has descended into a deep illusion. Sciences, religions, international-banks, governments, and others, all hope to grab the mantle of power by which the illusion is controlled. In madness, no doubt the rabble will soon banish the Creator from the creation altogether, and we will witness the emergence of the humanity-gods.
Dark days are ahead; the myths that condition humankind are archaic and insidious, and are mutating into greater and more deadly monsters. One must be adept in many various systems and histories, otherwise the chaos becomes overwhelming and creativity is turned off. In order to learn to Magikally navigate through the chaos, one must be devoted first to THEMSELVES, and then to the Art. We are in fact in the midst of a diabolical genetic war.
It’s critical to maintain a Magikal focus because evil is attempting to create for humankind a New World religion. This religion is a pseudo scientific centralized dictatorial oligarchy of fierce eugenics, genocide, deception, and slavery. However, this world governmental religion will be promoted as peace. It will be zealously accepted by many as the only means to save the world and it will be harshly forced upon the dissenters. The basis of this doctrine has three components: that humankind is an animal, that all life emerged from an inorganic and inanimate cosmic soup, and that human civilization has always advanced linearly.
This doctrine, however, is simply a means by which humankind is being further separated from its true history and potential. All this, so humankind will be taken by the ultimate deception that an invading alien race is the gods of the human race, and that they should submit to the will of the invading aliens, which will be first co-inhabitation, then genetic fusion.
This doctrine is being cast over the population by first eliminating the nation state, and all social constructs that separate people ethnically and racially. Once people accept all humanity as one people, then the conditioning will begin. The conditioning suggesting that all races in the galaxy are one united people, and so forth. In this way, the socialist/communist deception being spun around the masses currently is simply the starting point for manipulating humans to consider alien races as brethren.
People who want to maintain the sovereignty of the Earth, and maintain humans as the only inhabitants, will be considered galactic racists. Ridding the Earth of the nation state, and steeping the entire world in an ultra left-winged radical type of socialism is the current strategy being made by the traitor humans on behalf of their alien overlords.
Evolution is a major part of this manipulation. Evolutionarily reducing all life to protoplasm is the religion of the antihuman and the method by which the doctrine of alien cohabitation is being begun. There’s no scientific system that can demonstrate the fundamental notion of modern scientific cosmology- that organic life emerged from in-organic matter. But still, people hate God, and they froth at the mouth over the concept of a full blown secular Earth, governed by atheist scientists and corrupt legislators.
To most people who have no higher cause or belief in God, science is a religious faith to which they emotionally cling as much as the fundamentalist of any overt religion. The truth is that unless one is actually doing science, it’s difficult to discriminate between legitimate experimental sciences like molecular chemistry and physics, from pseudo science and scientific mythologies like man-made global warming, the Big Bang, or the emergence of life and selective human evolution and the Darwinian continuity of the species.
Emmanuel Kant pondered what provoked humankind’s religious belief in a God. Kant stated he was awed by two things, the starry heavens and man’s accountability to God. Many believe that an accountability to God exists because humankind is fearful, and this of course would be the claim of the atheists. However, humankind’s accountability to God exists in spite of its fear, not due to it. And despite all the human experience and testaments to the contrary, the naysayers continue to chant their slogans that a belief in an immaterial and infinite God is a delusion and a psychopathological symptom, and is keeping humankind from any real progress.
The basis of the emerging New World religion is a concentration on material reality. It claims that reality is the objective consensus of the state of things, reality is where the known laws of physics operate reliably. In this materialist faith, RATIONALITY is GOD.
Interestingly, also rationality is becoming lost to people. There’s an attempt to shut off our rational faculties with chemicals in our food, psychopharmacological drugs, and a steady flow of propaganda. All this, while at the same time trying to enthrone rational sense as GOD. This is the paradox of the Black Brotherhood.
The diabolical combination of chemically toxic food, psycho-active pharmacology, and political and social propaganda is a gestalt drip-feed type of brainwashing that the masses have been conditioned to accept and to self administer. And because the bulk of the population is undernourished, dumbed-down, and drugged, any criticism towards the mainline social program is met with vicious retaliation from the overlords and their herds.
As said, a fundamental deception of the radical socialist agenda that’s being cast over the human race is that there is a reality, and reality is physical. Really, there’s no underlying reality at all. Reality is an illusion, or more accurately a 2 dimensional hologram that’s being projected onto our neo-cortex, that can be transformed from moment to moment, image to image, and from concept to concept. And this of course is all based upon perspective and various levels of individual perceptive acuity.
Quantum theorists and psychologists both have laboratory evidence that an observer of any natural phenomenon alters the phenomenon simply by observing it. If we look closely there’s a play on words here, because to alter consciousness, the Magician does his work upon an altar. For this reason it’s critical for Magicians to not cross the planes- meaning, not to confuse the possibilities in one realm with the possibilities of another (i.e., the events in the atomic and the subatomic worlds are not interchangeable in this reality).
Magikal systems of the past gave the elemental formulas (earth, air, fire, and water) so people could learn about the critical harmonics of the Ka, Khabs, and Khu. Now, S S S is with mankind to help those who wish to move into the New Aeon armed with Magikal rites specifically formulated for the onslaught and clash of forces in the looming genetic war. The world is on the brink of a darkness not yet known to the mind of humankind, and many will not survive the coming smash.
The Magik of S S S is a Magik of work, not hope. The substrate Law of the Strong given in Crowley’s Book of the Law, which states that ‘Slaves shall serve,’ made certain this new genetic Magik.
When the New Age of Hrumachis comes upon the Earth, the Law of the Strong will be the substrate upon which people will be emboldened and wage fierce battle for the human soul and for the LORD. This terrible war will be initiated by rebellions that engulf the cities after the first wave of alien/human hybrids begin to be announced. By this point, most of the population will have been brainwashed into supporting the destruction of individuality and of the human genome. The herds will clamor to mix human DNA with the invading alien race. Again, under the deception that this race is our gods and we are being genetically upgraded.
People will not be able to fathom that this race is a parasitic and diabolical race that has been attempting to fuse their genes with human genes for ages. People will not believe the true diabolical nature and intent of the invaders, because as all devils, they will cloak themselves in peace and dupe the weak willed.
This plan involves this invading races’ inability to procreate. But, they are able to clone themselves, and have manipulated the human genome in the past. However, they are unable to genetically clone humans without both male and female human DNA so they have to mix their own genes in as a third component. Ultimately, they want to be able to rid the human male gene, and fuse their genes directly with human women’s genes alone. This genetic creation, they believe, will be able to reproduce, which again they are currently unable to do. If they do not figure out how to create offspring that can reproduce, their race will soon cease to exist. In fact, as they are sterile, they are a dying breed.
An ambition to re-create the mythological paradise is maintained by the sorcerers who have given themselves over to this diabolical cause. Ambition is the substrate upon which the utopia concept is layered, and which premises the ultimate deception that this ancient memory of a paradise of complete health and long life will be available with the grace of this invading race and the genetic disposition that will be benefitted to humankind through the genetic fusion of the two races.
People’s personal ambitions often force them into the service of others. In this case, people who serve the alien overlords and betray their human brethren are ambitious to receive the gifts that they have been promised, which are of course lies. Therefore adepts of Magik choose wisely which personal ambitions they serve, and try to determine who else their ambitions might force them to serve.
We inherited our God from Egypt. The Egyptians were originally monotheistic. And according to the Egyptian myth, Amen-Ra created the entire universe with a Magik word because he wanted to be known. Amen-Ra created Shu and Tefnet, which symbolize wet and dry, and Nu and Seb which are Heaven and Earth. And from the union of Heaven and Earth came five children, Osiris, Isis, Set, Heru, Nebt.
Osiris was the Man-God, the Son of God, who conquered death through resurrection. It’s clear that the Judeo-Christian doctrine had been inherited from Egypt, and it plainly states in the Old Testament that Moses was learned in the ways of the Egyptians. S S S teaches that ideologies that convey an afterlife were actual scientific processes of the original creators of humankind, and the universe. Ideologies that teach polytheism and of earth worship, and no individual identity in the afterlife are degradations of the true religion of the stars, given to humankind after the genetic manipulation of the human race. Through the ages, prophets have conveyed the process by which humankind could return to the ultimate LIGHT. Osiris was probably the first of these prophets. Christ of course was the first organic incarnation of actual Light.
The Orders of the White Brotherhood such as S S S offer human beings their true identity and prepare the human race for the return of the LORD of LIGHT and the imminent battle with the invading alien race.
The ultimate aim of those using the Babalonian New World system is to implement control upon the whole Earth through a centrally controlled global pseudo scientific religious dictatorship, a bureaucracy in which the world can be properly propagandized to accept the message of the alien overlords.
There are four main cults that operate as parts of the Babalonian machine. The star cult or the stellar cult publicly worships the Sun, but secretly they worship Promethius and Lucifer, who were of course the invading alien race. The cult of Saturn is the legal arm of the system, the lawyers, judges, and domestic police. The cult of the virgin goddess and the moon is the national cult, which will be the first to be dissolved with the undoing of the nation state. And the Aryan cult, which provides the critical blood sacrifices to the gods through the rituals of warfare. All of the cults use ritualistic pedophilia and human sacrifice. The war must be done alchemically.
In alchemy, Magnum Opus (the Great Work) is believed by many to be the emergence of the man-god; symbolized by the transmutation of metals from the base to the precious. This metaphor is correct in that the true Philosopher’s Stone is the making of a man-god, but the proper key to this occult method has been lost. The secrets of this art have decorated the temples in Egypt, especially Abydos and Karnak, for over 6000 years and still are available in the plain open for anyone who wishes to be initiated into this Magik.
Initiates of S S S learn to read many ancient languages, including Egyptian hieroglyphics, in order to experience the primary occult systems and read the materials first hand instead of relying upon others to translate and interpret the texts. Rarely do people with both legitimate scientific and experimental experience and a deep interest in the occult advance writings relating to or regarding to ancient texts of Magik. It’s believed that the most ancient structures were attempts by the invading alien races through the ages to mimic the first Pyramids of On, which were built by our true creators and God race.
After the fall of Egypt and the bulk of the culture lost its ability to read the sacred hieroglyphics, long after the invading alien race superimposed the controlling doctrine over the ancient Egyptian religion of Osiris, the star religion was put into the secret societies, sub rosa as it’s said. It still remains there today and is used as an occult force to control the populations. The inner religion of the New World Order is in fact that of ancient Egypt, but this is never communicated to the public overtly, it’s done symbolically.
The secret doctrine is embedded into the tales of Atlantis, which became the controlling system of Egypt and thus the New World Order: the genetic procreation of the human race without sex (i.e., human cloning), the hierarchical structure of matter, and the afterlife.
The ruling classes keep this alchemical-genetic agenda secret. This conspiracy was initially called Babalon, and was the scheme of Nimrod. The Greeks inherited the program and the secrets were kept in the lineage of Socrates and the Boulomai, and culminated with Alexander. Socrates was executed because he was divulging the secret doctrine to the rabble. The Romans called the tyranny the Republic, and celebrated its accomplishments under the rhetoric of the Pax Romana. After the fall of the Roman Empire the Holy Roman Empire (the Church) of the middle ages called the global agenda the Crusades. Today the global tyranny has many names, globalization, environmentalism, Socialism, political correctness, and the New World Order are but a few.
Today this agenda has been disseminated under the language of modernization, or industrialization. The United Nations is the most publicly visible mechanism for this agenda. The agenda is financed by global banks; this is the secret of the secular temple.
As said, the Tree of Life is a metaphor for DNA. The entwined snake suggests the activation of the serpent, or the Nephilim genetic. The Qabala is a mnemonic device, and a system of intonations for God-names such as yd# l), which is Saturn. Also, it’s a method of assimilating mathematical ideas into human consciousness. Learning to intone the names is critical to the Qabalistic and Magikal system of S S S .
The Qabala is also a mathematical system that’s used to activate and transmute the genetic code of a human being. It’s a tool by which humans activate their genetic potential by a top down process instead of a bottom up process like the New World Order’s materialistic and tenuous theory of selective and linear human evolution. For this reason, Qabala has been historically suppressed.
S S S teaches a process of changing the mind and body with internal and extra-psychical means, instead of simply allowing the external physical environment to control the mind and change the body.
Darwinian evolution suggests that evolution is a bottom up process, meaning that environmental conditions cause biological change. This means that humankind is a simple reactionary organism that has no stake in its own evolution. This is of course rejected by Magik, and especially by S S S , which stipulates that each individual may psychically cause his own genetic awakening, and then thus trigger the genetic awakening of others. Again, this is why occult knowledge is suppressed.
The Aeon of Horus as proclaimed by Aleister Crowley in 1904, in Cairo Egypt, with the transmission of the Book of the Law from Aiwass, an extra-dimensional intelligence, over the course of three days. Since the time of the proclamation of this Law, the world has spun into chaos. Now, more than a century after the initiation of the New Aeon, it has become clear that the Aeon that Crowley proclaimed is waning and we are now upon the dawn of the rise of Heru Ma Khuit, the double wanded serpent god, the resurrected sun god to prehistoric Egypt.
Hru Ma means literally in Egyptian the lion faced- Hru meaning face, and Ma meaning lion. The lions are the kings, thus the KINGU, the rebel that was mixed with mankind. This was the legend of Nimrod, and Gilgamesh transforming into a strong man- a GIBORUM. Hru Ma is the lion faced aryan god, seen on Mars as the anthropomorphic lion-faced man. The lion is the serpent, the permutations of the quadrennial points of the precession. This war has been embedded into the stone monuments of Giza.
One of the names of Horus was Heru Paar Kraat. Heru Paar Kraat was a warrior god, thereby a god of destruction and analysis. Heru Maa Kuit is a God of Magik and Awakening, thus creation and synthesis.
Since Crowley’s prophecies have come to pass the world has been brought to global war numerous times, and has been on the brink of global destruction for almost a century with the nuclear age. As the system fully comes to a crash, those who will inherit the human race shall be those of the Law, the ‘Kings of the Earth.’ But they shall also know that this is a lie against them.
Those who can not escape enslavement shall become fodder for the kings, Strong men who roam the face of the Earth. It’s those who can’t emancipate themselves from the group mind, those who have no strength to die for their own Liberty that shall lose everything. This is the ‘Law of the Strong.’
In this New Age, a Magikal philosophy is being replaced by a Magikal methodology. The Magik of Horus was victory and vengeance, and the Magik of Hrumachis is alchemy and transformation. The Law of qelhma is being replaced by the Law of Magik. This is because the current of qelhma has been disgraced and has fallen to the hands of clowns; it has become worthless to the intense galactic power of the Aeon that humankind now faces. qelhma is so blind that it ignores the problem exists.
qelhma was a solar/cosmic law, this is obsolete. We now understand the law of galactic heliocentricity and are accorded with a cosmic and galactic law as Magi. We recognize the solar and phallic tradition of the old age, that wonderful Magikal Thelemic age from which we have all been nurtured and educated. However, the battle for which we have been preparing is coming swiftly, and Thelema is not enough to defeat our enemies. Thelemic Magik will not stand to face this dragon. Understand that S S S is a system not to replace qelhma, but to be placed above it, as a superimposition.
Do what thou wilt was a substrate upon which chaos was brewed. Thus, now the next Magus must come to that formula and place it into action. In order to break up the minds of the old slave age, it was first necessary to initiate a rebellion. Now that generations have past, the rebellion is waning and the rabble must again be awoken to serve a new Magik Law. A nobler Law of humankind are the laws given by S S S , which shall put order to the entropic chasm of Magik which sprawls out before us in the Xaos storm.
The aeons of the gods are not all fixed in time as the prophets of previous ages believed. We use the equinoctial precession as a symbolic interface with these great ages. But in reality, and more Magikally, these ages through which we move are not fixed, but they interact with the human central nervous system. And, the larger our concept of the universe, the faster come the dawns of the ages.
In the Age of Osiris, a transition was made into the Magikal formula of the dying and resurrecting god, as with the Aeon of Horus there was a transition from the dying god to the self-god. Now with the Aeon of Hrumachis the Magikal formula is that of eternal consciousness- called Sa’ON. So we transition from the self-god, to the un-god. In the ancient Egyptian tongue this is said as A-nu’k Sa’ON, which means I am a child of ON.
It’s realized that after the purge, those who advance forward into the New Jerusalem and the new Earth will understand this New Law. A large portion of the population never accepted the formula of the dying god, and these bloodlines are forever doomed. Those who learned of the dying god, but have not accepted the Law of Thelema still have a chance to survive.
However, the kings shall be those who accept the continuity of their own consciousness. The gate of the dying god has closed; the gate of the self-god is closing, at which time the monsters will be let loose. Those who will survive will move ahead with their own proclivities, and those who ignore their own SOUL, or offer it up to the great dissolution, which is the end of the human genome and the new fusion that will be attempted, will be doomed. Only those who will survive are those without the Mark of the Beast, which is of course, the alien genetic component that’s waiting to be mixed with humankind.

Jay Hartlove: An Interview
I happened to meet writer Jay Hartlove through a mutual friend on a popular social networking site. Initially, he impressed me with his blogging and prescient views on contemporary themes. So, I asked Jay if he'd be willing to take time out of his demanding schedule to discuss his lifestyle, his writing, Magick and "The Chosen." He graciously accepted. So, without further delay, here's Jay....
------------
Q1. How has your personal Magickal praxis shaped the way you approach writing Magickally-themed stories, aimed at a population that is, well, not cognizant of Magickal lifestyles and the way Magick really works?
Jay: "The Zone. I demand a lot of myself. I approach life from the assumption that life is short and I’ve got a lot to do. I’ve been given great gifts and I’m not going to waste them.
I flunked out of college in a clinical depression the first time around and spent my twenties as a performance artist bouncing randomly through life wondering what I was supposed to be doing and where I was supposed to fit in. Eventually I realized philosophers and spiritualists had already covered that ground. So I started reading them. I started with science and logic with Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. Then I moved on to spiritualism with the Vedas and Sufis. By the time I got to Sylvia Boorstein and Paschel Beverly Randolph , I saw there were actual techniques for finding your mojo.
Once I started finding the keys to linking focus and willpower, I turned my life around, actually reinvented myself. I went back to school, graduated Valedictorian from my law school paralegal training, and went on to graduate second in my class with a Master of Science in Finance. I divorced my aimless artist wife and married the woman who came to bear my children.
Now I can access the Zone pretty much on command. My wife is a newspaper reporter who often works in the evenings, so evenings are up to me. The Tasmanian Devil’s got nothing on me. While others around me are road raging, I meditate on the drive home from my full time job and hit the ground running. I fix dinner, bathe the children, run laundry or grocery shop (or both), feed and walk the dogs, put the girls to bed, and THEN fire up the computer and start writing at 11 PM. I joke that my muse is named Eleven. (I should explore her archetypal Female aspect.) After a few minutes of focus, I can usually pick up where I left off and write a couple thousand words before I fall asleep around 2. Then I get up at 6 and do it all again.
I don’t do much metaphysical work. I do indulge myself the occasional selfish changed green light or hole in traffic. Squeezing in an extra minute has come in handy too. I used to do more, back in the day, with interesting but very mixed results. It took me a long time to learn the importance of humility in the practice, and I lost a few friends along the way. Now I am happy to report I find myself up on the roof with old man Ignatius breathing in the night air and crying at the overwhelming beauty.
So while I don’t do much magic, I have achieved a higher level of my potential using techniques perfected by magicians. It lets me get done what I want to get done in my life. I guess that makes me more of a yogi than a conjuror. At some point I will probably go back and study some more and tap into even more mojo, to what end I can only guess. Something is working. I get derelict cars and computers to work when no one else can. I’m turning 54 this month but I look and feel 45. Maybe my next goal should be satori by 60."
Q3. So what is this book about?
Jay: "Revenge and redemption. The bad guy wants revenge. The good guy needs redemption, even though he doesn't think that's possible. The bad guy is the reincarnation of the High Priest who succeeded Sammael after Exodus, the priest who had to pick up the pieces after Sammael did his damage. This priest, now named Silas Alverado, saw the magic Sammael wielded and then took away, and Silas wants it back. So 100 generations later, he is back to capture his old teacher and wrest the secrets of creation from him, with the objective of restoring the glory that was once ancient Egypt. He wants a redo on Exodus.
The hero, Charles Redmond, as a youth was a hit man for the Duvalier regimes in Haiti. The CIA took his testimony and gave him a new life as an importer in Washington DC, but Charles still sees the blood on his hands. As much as he wants to run away from his dark past, he ends up doing business with a guy Charles suspects is supernatural. This is Joseph,who turns out to be a demon, and is Silas' right hand man. So Charles gets dragged into Silas' plans, and back to Haiti. He drags his psychiatrist into the mess. It is the psychiatrist, Sanantha Mauwad, who tells the story."
The other Big Idea is that modern Haitian Voodoo is the inheritor descendent of the religion of the ancient Egyptians. When Rome conquered Egypt, the gods went underground and became the animus spirits in Western Africa. When the Africans were brought to the New World as slaves, they were forced to adopt Christian dogma, but instead blended their old faith with the new. So the best way to get back to the old gods is to show Voodouns that the real power of their gods is to call them by their real, original names, those of ancient Egypt."
Q5. Is there a message to this book? What should folks take away from reading "The Chosen?"
Jay: "That revenge comes with a price, and redemption is possible even if you have given up on yourself."
It is also a fast paced thriller, with magic, gun fights, plane crashes, exotic locales, and of course, the fate of the world in the balance"

Q1. How has your personal Magickal praxis shaped the way you approach writing Magickally-themed stories, aimed at a population that is, well, not cognizant of Magickal lifestyles and the way Magick really works?
Jay: "Since you ask about my personal practice, I should explain that first. My magickal practice is focused on achieving greater human potential. I feel I can influence the world more effectively by improving myself first. I believe the Thelemic principle that the human will is holy, But I do not adhere to any one practice tradition. I have hybridized from several sources, including Crowley, but also Thich Nhat Hahn, Frederick Nietzsche and Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Focus, awareness, willpower and humility. I’m all about achieving human potential and finding your place in the universe. Human potential is nearly limitless. Finding what we are supposed to do with that potential, our role in the universe, has been a lifelong quest for me.
One of my favorite human potentials is learning. I believe anyone can learn anything if they have the right teacher. Yes, I put it on the teacher, since the teacher knows the subject. So when I teach, I start with a big contextual framework, then I go back and fill in the details. Details don’t make sense unless the learner has someplace to hang them.
The same is true in writing. I know magic is complicated, subtle, hugely contextual, with a big irrational human component. So when I set out to explain magical things to uneducated readers, I have to give them a context. Even though my stories often have a lot of plot, my writing is very character driven. I get the reader to care about the characters and then I show the reader how magic makes sense to the characters. By the point in a story I have magic happen out in public, I have already convinced the reader it belongs in that world and in that story. That way, I also don’t get bogged down in trying to explain how the magic works. Consistency within the story is paramount to maintaining the reader’s suspension of disbelief. You have to stick to the rules you’ve laid out. No hat tricks that cheat the reader. I hate arbitrary Deus Ex Machina and Hand of Fate endings, they show a lack of care and craft on the part of the writer. If your characters are believable, and they believe in magic, then the reader will accept magic in the story."
Q2. Can you tell me something you have discovered through Magick that you are certain you would have not discovered any other way?One of my favorite human potentials is learning. I believe anyone can learn anything if they have the right teacher. Yes, I put it on the teacher, since the teacher knows the subject. So when I teach, I start with a big contextual framework, then I go back and fill in the details. Details don’t make sense unless the learner has someplace to hang them.

So Charles gets dragged into Silas' plans, and back to Haiti. He drags his psychiatrist into the mess. It is the psychiatrist, Sanantha Mauwad, who tells the story."
Q4. You describe your work as "Dark Connections Revealed." What dark connections do you reveal in The Chosen?
Jay: "There are two Big Ideas in this book. First, I postulate that in the biblical book of Exodus, the High Priest of Amun in Ramses' court was actually Sammael,the Hebrew Demon Prince of Liars, the snake Iblis from the Garden of Eden. How else could a man convince Pharaoh that Moses was not doing anything the Egyptian temple didn't already know, and that Ramses should not take Moses and Yahweh as a serious threat? This set up Ramses and his legendary ego up for a fall. It actually made it harder for God to get the Hebrews out of Egypt. But it left Pharaoh far more harmed. It is this ancient intrigue that sets up the modern day story.The other Big Idea is that modern Haitian Voodoo is the inheritor descendent of the religion of the ancient Egyptians. When Rome conquered Egypt, the gods went underground and became the animus spirits in Western Africa. When the Africans were brought to the New World as slaves, they were forced to adopt Christian dogma, but instead blended their old faith with the new. So the best way to get back to the old gods is to show Voodouns that the real power of their gods is to call them by their real, original names, those of ancient Egypt."
Q6. What sets this book apart from other occult thrillers?
Jay: "The book is unique in the way it treats the religious beliefs of the characters as an integral part of who they are and how they act in the story. Too often horror novels focus on making puzzle plot points work or developing atmosphere for atmosphere's sake. What people believe, and believe in, is an important and often overlooked aspect of what people are willing to accept as normal or outside their comfort zone, and therefore scary. What people believe makes a difference in how effective they are in the extraordinary and trying circumstances of the story. There is a strong and respectful vein of the occult running through this book.It is also a fast paced thriller, with magic, gun fights, plane crashes, exotic locales, and of course, the fate of the world in the balance"

Hermetic reality - The principle of correspondence
As above so below.
Everything in the universe has the same point of origin, and as such it follows that the laws that govern any plane of existence or dimensional space at any given level are subject to the same laws.
In esoteric or spiritual literature you will often find mention of what are reffered to as "planes of energy" such as the astral plane, in truth there is no exact distinction or division between any of these "planes" other then the the rate of vibrational energy they contain, so basically the term "plane" is used to group together certain phenomena or aspects together in a way that we can better mentally visualize the structure of the universe.
These planes are usually described as being three major groups which are, the mental plan, the spiritual plane and the physical plane, within these major groups are several sub-groups which can be considered states or conditions, these include the plant mind, the animal mind, the human mind and the mineral mind, we then also have to include the existence of entities, beings and souls.
At each given level from the lowest to the highest plane it is the rate of vibrational energy that manifests the said plane.
Particles of energy make up each plane and include everything from solid matter, radioactive materials, electricity and so on. Sub-divisional forces such as gravity and attraction are essentually the same but distanced by the rate of vibration.
There are many suddivisions and varying levels within any plane, so if we take the human mind as example, we have the basic everyday layman or woman who live their lives without any spiritual thoughts, compare that with the master or adept, who with practice, has learned the techniques to raise the frequency of their thoughts to a higher spiritual levelwhere they can experience hightened states of conscious existence at will.
As the laws that govern each level of existence it follows that higher dimensional beings must raise their vibrational energy to a point where the can in turn communicate with yet higher dimensional beings, so an angel may communicate with a demi-god who in turn communicates with a god, for example.
With all this in mind we find that all the universal planes and their sub-divisions are connected at some subtle level by varying degrees of energy and the laws that govern that energy, even the lowest form of energy is only seperated from the highest by its rate of vibration.
In magickal terms this gives us a great advantage, in that we have the knowledge that "all things within the universal whole" are but a transcendence of thought or vibration from each other. To enter a higher state of conscious experience we need to raise the vibrational rate of our thoughts beyond those of our base reality.
When this higher state of consciousness is achieved we find that the universal laws will allow us to opperate in the exact same way as we do at our base reality level. On return to that base level things are never quite the same, we bring back the experience of the higher plane of energy, which gives us the ability to see or base reality through "higher dimensional eyes".It allows communication with and control of the fundamental base energy that surrounds us. as its energy now exists at a lower level then that of our experience it gives us a certain understanding and power over that energy.
Everything in the universe has the same point of origin, and as such it follows that the laws that govern any plane of existence or dimensional space at any given level are subject to the same laws.
In esoteric or spiritual literature you will often find mention of what are reffered to as "planes of energy" such as the astral plane, in truth there is no exact distinction or division between any of these "planes" other then the the rate of vibrational energy they contain, so basically the term "plane" is used to group together certain phenomena or aspects together in a way that we can better mentally visualize the structure of the universe.
These planes are usually described as being three major groups which are, the mental plan, the spiritual plane and the physical plane, within these major groups are several sub-groups which can be considered states or conditions, these include the plant mind, the animal mind, the human mind and the mineral mind, we then also have to include the existence of entities, beings and souls.
At each given level from the lowest to the highest plane it is the rate of vibrational energy that manifests the said plane.

The Deeper Implications of Ritual Elements
There are many singular elements that are injected into any ritual that may be done, and while there are consistencies amongst the various magic(k)al schools, there are equally as many variations, so, I would like to address those that are most common, and those that I am familiar with in my own mutated system.
I would first introduce what it is I mean to discuss in regards to things such as cleansing, the use of tools, the generation of your sphere of influence, invocation, evocation, etc. It is not my purpose to tell you how to use these various ritual elements, nor is it my intention to tell you how to perform a ritual. Most of you would already be aware of these subjects, and I wouldn't want to bore you any further with my own dogma.
So what it is I do intend on sharing with you are the deeper dynamics that are going on behind the scene as we perform our rituals. I would discuss thought patterns and beliefs that lie deeply within us that most deeply affect both our needs and desires to do ritual for certain gain (materiel or spiritual) and the outcome of our rituals themselves. I would discuss the metaphysical implications of what it is you are, and are doing, as a magician, wizard, witch, mage, or shaman as you stand and perform your dance before the eyes of Source alone. I would discuss what it is that enriches our lives so profoundly, that which we call "ritual magic."
This will end up being a series, of course, so we will let this posting stand only as an introduction.
I would clarify that for me, it is not the method that is important here (though our methods do have import to each of us personally - I would not take that from you). While different methods, schools and approaches each tap a slightly different magical stream, they are all streams that feed , and are fed by, the major current we call Magic(k), and what I think of simply as being the whole of life itself.
Please don't be concerned whether you are G:.D:. , A:.A:. , OTO, Pagan, Wican, etc. when it seems I don't address something particularly important to your personal practice. Your joy is your joy and will always remain such. Just accept what it is that thrills you, inspires you, or fills even the tiniest space within you that has not yet been noticed.

Wake Up! Arise and Shine! (Part 1)
Ask yourself this question, "Who am I?”
If you replied to yourself with your name, or perhaps your occupation, then you fell into the trap and are now lost within a shallow, “half-life” reality. If your life has become dominated by “working to live,” and you’re pacified by the likes of video games, computers, multi channel TV or the hope of a yearly holiday, then ask yourself if our ancestors’ struggled to survive through millions of years of biological evolution, against all odds, to bring us to this artificial “utopian” existence.
The media controls our every thought. The authorities (our parents and peers, The State, those having political power or The Government, religion, etc.) decide what we are to accept as “the truth,” so what is really right or wrong? Academic committees decide what we learn, and we are even told what and which way to think! This system of “operant conditioning” and control integrates itself into every part of society and consequently, all parts of our lives. We are born within this system. We have become part of this system. We are the system! We are all collective members of a world society that condemns radical thinking. Even the thoughts that we deem to be “free” have been shaped and corrupted during our infancy via this “system.” What is the answer? Wake up!
Now, ask yourself again, "Who am I?" This time, do you answer with something like this:
“I am the creation of the universal energy that is, in turn, a part of the all.”
Learn to stay open minded, take charge of your own thoughts, think for yourself! Through the miracle of life, we are but several billion atoms that choose to stay bonded within our physical form. Within this “shell” and within every atom the universal, living energy that is part of and connected to the rest of the “All.” More specifically, our living divinity links our soul to the greater “All!” This living soul and inner divinity, when coupled with our free/true will is our key to understanding, manifesting and controlling our own personal reality and that of others; it is also our key to spiritual evolution. It is our link to true Magick and for accessing dimensions with higher vibratory rates, each one of which is our universal birthright!

Eternally Yours, Scarlet Babalon
She seduces me with her very nature, she never denies me. We unite while she rides me like the beast that I am, her energy so strong; her passion, her fire...My Goddess, you take me to the brink of sinful eruption, just then, you delay my orgasmic bodily function. We stop for a minute, then start over again, our love for one another never fades--we never tire! Take me one more time, my Dark Queen, what do you lack? I see my name tattooed on the small of your back! Deeper and deeper I go, onward, into the night. Scarlet, my love, quench my desire! Over and over, in and out, sultry fire. I need you right now, it's only you that makes me yearn;
Scarlet Babalon, for you I eternally burn...
We manifest reality, we create what we will. Some may think you are a fantasy, a shadow from lovers past. Others? They could not care less if you are a product of my imagination or a conglomeration of those I've had from every cast...Scarlet Babalon; The Sacred Feminine, The Goddess, or a negative polar emanation--Maybe a secret desire from a male dominant religious affiliation? You're none of these things, and not anything less. Are you here just to satisfy me and do nothing more? Scarlet Babalon, that would make you my whore. I confess with my heart, that your love is the best...If I lose you, one thing is for sure, I will love you always and to all I attest -- you are the best and you will never know scorn;
Scarlet Babalon, for you, I eternally mourn...
I know you, my secret lover, you are my saving grace. You are the one that I unite with when I am all alone; I need you, my love. Mount me; take your throne! Look into your Beast's face...as long as I have you, Scarlet Babalon, am I ever really alone? Kiss me deeply as I penetrate you gently, slowly, my carnal delight. Scream my name, bite my neck, do me right, you I never fight. Only a fool would consider our love insignificant and cheap. I never take you for granted, I want you always...don't go. I remember when you said that you would always be mine, forever to keep;
Scarlet Babalon, for you, I eternally weep...
Scarlet Babalon, for you I eternally burn...
