A Very Brief History of Probability

by Alexander O.Z.

The importance of mathematics for measurement and predictability is not hard to understand. After all, science’s methods to deal with chance probabilistically legitimized it and teased it away from natural philosophy (Horton, 2005). Experiments gave science ways to isolate causal relationships and to explain its proofs through mathematics and statistics. This Golden Bough of science, however, deals with probabilities and forecasting likelihoods that Laplace says are relative (1795, p. 7) and Paracelsus’ says are simply opinions approved by the wise (Hacking, 1975, p. 41).

Statistics ultimately came to science through the Newtonian concept that observations should be done mathematically and are combinations of reality and error (Stigler, 1999). However, not until a century later with astronomers like Gauss (1777-1855) and Laplace (1749-1827) was probability separated from gaming and applied to scientific observation (Boring, 1961; Stigler, 1999). Other sciences followed. For instance, tradition says that psychology began using statistics with Fechner’s Psychophysics (1860) and that by Ebbinghaus’ memory experiments published in 1885 psychology was firmly fixed with statistics (Stigler, 1999).

However, long before Newton and as far back as at least ancient Greece the world played dice for oracles based upon some sort of probability tables from which they derived the future or the will of the gods (Stigler, 1999). For instance, Alexander visited the famed Oracle at Delphi devoted to the god Apollo before campaigning against Persia (Plutarch, 75). Even a popular Christian story is when the Roman centurions played lots for Jesus’ garment (Luke 23:34). The Latin writer Cicero (106bc-43bc) speaks about dice and that omens were linked with certain combinations, for instance the Venus-throw. His suggestion that the rarity of the combination caused people superstitiously to look for extra meaning could be analogous to modern p-values.

Nothing is so uncertain as a cast of dice and yet there is no one who plays often who does not sometimes make a Venus-throw and occasionally twice or thrice in succession. Then are we, like fools, to prefer to say that it happened by the direction of Venus rather than by chance (Cicero, 44, paragraph 59)?  However, after being separated from occultism and gambling probability has become a powerful mathematical tool. And although the history of secular probability is seen in traces in Archimedes’ proof of the Quadrature of a parabola (Pearson, 1978), it’s not until almost 2,000 years later with the beginnings of modern astronomy and the problems of calculating the movements of the planets that the real foundations for a theory of probability theory could be laid.

The Dark Ages lifted during the middle of the 16th century and mathematical ideas begun to percolate through Europe. The Crusades brought the West ideas from the East like the Hindu concepts of number and some of its numerical symbols. Michael Stifel’s Arithmetica Integra (1544), Christoff Rudolff’s Die Coss (1525), and Robert Records’ Grounde de Artes (1540) are some of the first western publications to use mathematical symbols like +, - , and = (David, 1998).  However, the beginning of probability is a bit obscure. Partly due to its connection to gambling and the characters associated with that, and partly because of political oppression. Also, like many discoveries the discoverer is not always the one who’s namesake the invention holds (i.e. see Stigler’s theory of eponymy, 1999). For instance, Laplace used the Fornier transformations before Fourier, and Lagrange had the Laplace transformations before Laplace (Stigler, 1999).

Although its actual beginnings are unknown, probability was probably transferred to the public through the mathematician Cardano (1501-1576). However, even the origin of his ideas cannot be traced (David, 1998). However, he was an acquaintance of Leonardo da Vinci, so probability-type ideas may have been known in the esoteric circles of Europe (Tabak, 2004).

Pythagoras, like Paracelsus, is esteemed for his legendary knowledge of many branches of natural science. He is said to have discovered the musical ratios of the pentatonic scale, he discovered the famous Pythagorean Theorem He was also involved with metaphysics and various forms of occultism. Condorcet (1743-1794) believed that Pythagoras began the mathematicization process of nature that Descartes furthered and that Newton ultimately perfected (Baker, 1975). In Baker’s Condorcet: From natural philosophy to mathematics (1975), Egret’s La Prerevolution is cited saying that the function of the European academies should be to galvanize Europe’s scientific research. In other words, academies were to liberate the commoners from beliefs not built upon rationality, such people relied upon the enlightened expertise of the learned societies to dictate what they must think (p. 48). This model of the Academy and its purpose as disseminator of knowledge is not an idea begun during the French Revolution and the post enlightenment; it was also a fundamental of Plato’s Republic. Thus, men like Bacon with his New Atlantis were heavily influenced by classical philosophers, and during this age in Europe, its academic minds wanted to able themselves to communicate and disperse their discoveries to initiate a new sort of Golden Age (Baker, 1975). A utopian lost-age that Plato symbolized as the lost Atlantis in his Timeaus and Bacon revived in his New Atlantis.

Part of ushering in this new scientific age and rational world order (i.e. of Leibniz) was the concept of a universal scientific language. Bacon expressed in his Novum Organum the idea of Table’s of Discovery to classify all natural phenomenons for quantitative measurability, so their underlying laws could be established. Such was Newton’s concept first laid out in his Principia, which put physics on solid scientific ground (Baker, 1975). It’s in following that tradition that Condorcet hoped to bring to the moral and political sciences the rationality that Newton brought to the physical sciences (Baker, 1975).

Condorcet’s desire to bring people a rational world-view and the controversy surrounding his death in prison in 1794 probably led Pearson (1978) to make the obscure statements that he was the enemy of the Jacobins and had been driven to death, as were all men of science and especially those of probability (p. 651).
Nevertheless, regarding probability what can be certain is that Cardano (1501-1576) published Opus novum de proportionibus where he put forth the binomial coefficients and a binomial theorem, and also Liber de ludo aleae published posthumously in 1663 and which is said to be first systematic conception of probabilities (Hacking, 1975; Stigler, 1999; Pearson, 1978). His error however, was that he conceived probability in a way that in three throws of the dice there was a fifty percent chance that any certain number would be had, instead of the correct forty-two percent (Tabak, 2004). Ultimately, Cardano was a superstitious man who apparently liked to gamble and could not shake the notion of luck. He believed that the will of the gambler had a play in the outcome even when casting a fair dice. In fact, De Moivre inserted an argument against Cardano’s invocation of will in his Doctrine of Chances (Tabak, 2004).

Galileo catalogued all the possible combinations of three dice in a fragment written between 1613 and 1623 titled Sopra le Scoperte dei Dadi (David, 1998), although it’s said he cared little for the subject (Tabak, 2004). The well-known scientist Pascal (1623-1662) wrote a work on the same subject Traite du triangle arithmetique in 1654 that was published posthumously in 1665. Pascal’s book on probability was the field’s first full-fledged encounter with the binomial distribution (Stigler, 1999).

Tabak (2004) says that probability began with a dialogue through letters between Fermat (1601-1665) and Pascal (1623-1662) in which they were discussing possible solutions to a popular gambling puzzle. Although they did not sort out a full theory of probability, nor speak of it as such, they did bring the concepts further than Galileo and Cardano. What’s important is they found that although they could not predict an individual cast of the dice, they could predict the relative frequency that certain casts would occur over many throws.
However, one of the first works devoted exclusively to probability was a small fifteen-page booklet by Dutch mathematician Christian Huygens (1629-1695) published in 1657 in Leiden De Raciocinniis in Aleae Ludo (Laplace, 1795). De Raciocinniis became a principle treatise on the theory of probability for fifty years. Huygen’s influence did not vanish after his death; Jacob Bernoulli (1654-1705) admits to have absorbed Hyugens’ work into his own Ars Conjectandi (1713). Ars Conjectandi was incomplete at James’ death, and was published posthumously by his nephew Nicholas Bernoulli (Laplace, 1795; Pearson, 1978). In this work, Bernoulli put forth his theory of large numbers and of independent events (Stigler, 1999; Tabak, 2004).

It is however, Pitcairne’s 1693 dissertation as Stigler (1999) suggests that shows the first explicit use of probability (p. 216). In this example, Pitcairne argued that strainers and sieves could not account for bodily secretion as previously thought. He laid out this theory using Huygen’s probability, and grains and sieves to demonstrate the argument that such a mechanism would be ineffective. Pitcairne then attempted to apply the sieve mechanism to bodily secretion using a more complicated concept of sieve, only still to find the mechanism to fall short. He realized that he could not provide a solution for this phenomenon. He said in this same lecture that the nature of all bodies is the same (Stigler, 1999, p. 217). Ultimately, he argued against the known mechanism of secretion using a probabilistic argument.

However, just as now, not everyone wanted to derive knowledge of humankind through mathematics. Edward Eizat’s Apollo Mathematicus argued very much against extracting knowledge of man mathematically, and called Pitcairne’s approach gibberish. He claimed that sieves based on mass and shape do not account for the diversity in nature. Eizat believed that math would turn the world upside-down and overturn the ancient landmarks that our fathers have set (Stigler, 1999, p. 230). He believed that medicine should not be overtaken by Pitcairne’s speculative science of mathematics, because medicine was rational and empirical (Stigler, 1999). The confrontation between these two men laid the groundwork for modern medical science, and launched the still relevant criticism of experimental science, which is validity (Stigler, 1999).

From the 17th and 18th centuries, a symbiosis began between mathematics and the other sciences. Although there were a number of important mathematical contributions in the 18th century, Stigler (1986) says that the single most important contribution of the 18th century to statistics was Least Squares. Three scientific problems are related to the story of Least Squares during the 18th century. These three scientific problems are the shape of the earth, the motion of the Moon, and the perturbations of Jupiter and Saturn. However, one of these problems was of greater importance at that time due to its commercial and naval use- the motion of the moon. The mastery of the motion of the moon held incredible importance to sea navigation because it meant navigational freedom. In 1714, England offered a monetary reward to the discoverer of the highly prized longitude at sea (Stigler, 1986).

Mathematician Tobias Mayer (1723-1762), who collected data of lunar observations between April 1748 and March 1749, was first to understand the importance of realizing the true error through averaging out multiple observations. Although Stigler (1986) says he was a bit optimistic about his formulas- claiming proof of an inverse relationship between the amount of observations and the determinant results.
However, once moved from games to observations, then from observations to the error in the observations (i.e. Simpson), probability really started to become useful. In other words, once from astronomical observations the random distribution of errors of these observations could be gathered, the concept of inverse probability could be brought out (Stigler, 1986). An important step regarding the evolution of statistics was the inverse probability of Bernoulli and De Moivre (David, 1998).

During his lifetime, De Moivre (1667-1754) became close friends with Newton (Pearson, 1978). Pearson (1978) offers an image of De Moivre sitting in a coffee house at a dirty table accompanied by a degenerate gambler with Newton tunneling through the cafe to Moivre’s table for a discussion. De Moivre’s first paper was presented to the Royal Society in 1695 and was an expounding of Newton’s theory of fluxions, which became modern differential calculus (Pearson, 1978). De Moivre published his Doctrine of Chances in 1756 in which’s introduction Huygens was offered inspirational credit (Tabak, 2004). Although there is more insight than actual mathematical theory and formula in his treatise, he does supply the concept of the bell-curve. De Moivre uses this bell curve concept a bit different than it is used today- not conceptualizing the continuous distribution that it’s modeled around today (Pearson, 1978; Tabak, 2004). Also, DeMoivre is said by Pearson (1978) to have developed the concept of standard deviation, which De Moivre called the measure of dispersion.

In addition, another important statistical concept was determined in the 18th century by Thomas Simpson (1710-1761), the density function, and in 1757 he published a letter considered the first publication of a continuous error distribution (Stigler, 1986). Pearson (1978) suggests that Simpson’s The nature and laws of chance (1740) is little more than a summary of the second edition of De Moivre’s Doctrine of chances (1738), even that Simpson uses some of De Moivre’s examples without citing them. A rampant issue apparently with Simpson, as Pearson (1978) attacks Simpson again for having stolen De Moivre’s results and published them in his own 1742 treatise on annuities.

Stigler (1986) suggests that another main statistical product of the 18th century was the inversion of the probability analyses of Jacob Bernoulli and De Moivre. Stigler (1986) says that it was Simpson’ and Bayes who teased the concepts away from games and dice, and focused astronomical observations and the errors of observations, which in turn inspired Bernoulli. Bayes’ An essay toward solving a problem in the doctrine of chance was read by Richard Price to the Royal Society in 1763. There’s an anecdotal note that Bayes’ may have been working on a mathematical model to trace to the First Cause. However, partly due to lack of appeal among their contemporaries, and Bayes’ lack of publishing, it was not until Laplace that this concept was brought into a broader use and application (Stigler, 1986).

Laplace (1749–1827) was a French astronomer and mathematician probably most known for his treatise Mécanique Céleste (1802). However, he is widely credited with formulating the theories that later became associated with Bayes’. Pearson (1978) says that Laplace drew heavily from De Moivre, Bayes, and Lagrange, and does not give these three men enough acknowledgements. Laplace also speculated on the origin of the solar system and the existence of black holes. He wrote two papers that would gain him a reputation as a mathematician before he was elected into the Académie in 1773 (Stigler 1986). He in 1795 gave lectures at the Ecole Normale under the heading Theory of analytic probability, but didn’t publish them until 1812 (Pearson, 1978). Pearson suggests that probably Laplace was not involved in mathematics during this time because of the political climate, the same politics that may have stifled Condorcet and may have led to his death. People, Pearson (1978) suggests, were more concerned with their astrological reading than the math behind astronomy. It was much safer to deal with the zodiac than with probabilities. For the same reasons, Laplace probably made no mention of Condorcet in his treatise of 1795 (Pearson, 1978).

However, regarding statistics, Laplace suggests that data collection and data treatment lead to varying interpretations of data. Thus, individual inclinations and history become relevant (Laplace, 1795; Pearson, 1978). Laplace (1795) also said that numerous comparisons were the only way to get to the truth, and that probability was done through a categorization process based upon sameness. He glorified Francis Bacon in his Essay (1795) for embracing the experimental method. Laplace is known to have said to Napoleon when asked of God that he had no need of that hypothesis.

By far, the most famous family in a history of math and statistics is the Bernoulli family. Many generations of Bernoulli’s enter into the history of science and mathematics (Tabak, 2004). Another prominent mathematician from the famous Bernoulli line was James’ (i.e. Jacob) brother Daniel (1700-1782). Daniel Bernoulli brought the statistics of the 18th century a bit further with his theory that the arithmetical mean of a set of observations cannot be accurate because it does not weight the each data point, and they should be weighted because they are not all equally valid observations. Bernoulli saw that astronomers remedy this by eliminating the extreme observations before calculating the mean. Bernoulli suggested that errors would be accumulated equally above and below the true point, and errors closer to the true point would be more likely while those further would be less likely. This he surmised would generate a distribution of error likened to a semicircle. His claim was that by this method a truer mean could be gathered than by simply averaging out all the original scores (Stigler, 1999). Bernoulli sent his paper to St. Petersburg for publication in 1778. Euler inserted a commentary before the paper was published. Sigler (1999) suggests that this may have made Bernoulli quite happy, as Euler was perhaps the most prolific mathematician of all time (p. 305).

Legendre (1752-1833) was a mathematician who wrote on various subjects including geometry, gravitational theory, and was among those who measured the meridian arc in 1795. However, in 1805 Legendre published a work that introduced the concept of summing the squared error terms (Stigler, 1986). Legendre suggested that by doing this a balance was generated to stop the bias of the extremes (Stigler, 1986). But, also others have laid claim to this technique: Adrain published it in late 1808 or early 1809, and Gauss in 1809. However, and whoever had it first, Legendre published it first. Nevertheless that did not stop Gauss from claiming to have used the method since 1795 (Stigler, 1999).

Most notable in statistics in the 19th century is probably Francis Galton’s (1822-1911) invention of regression in 1869 while researching human heredity. Stigler (1986) says that though the mathematical foundation (i.e. Least Squares) was in place in the earlier part of the 18th century Galton had to develop the concept of bivariate-distributions which allowed for coefficients to ultimately support his theories for heredity. Galton did experiments with sweet-pea seeds around 1875, in which he observed that the average size of the offspring of larger seeds was less than that of their parents, and the average size of the offspring of smaller seeds was greater than that of their parents. Galton conceived that the mechanism was that offspring tended to revert towards the mean. Reversion was later changed to regression leading to the term regression towards the mean (Cohen, 2001).

The International Health Exhibition in 1884-85 celebrated Galton’s new concept, and Galton established a laboratory devoted to measuring human statistics (i.e. biometrics). He collected data like height, weight, and strength from a large sample of 9,337 people (Boring, 1950). After the exhibition, the laboratory continued and became the Biometric Laboratory at University College in London chaired by Galton’s disciple Karl Pearson who had access to Galton’s heredity data (Boring, 1950; Wachmuth, Wilkinson, & Dallal, 2003).

Pearson had hoped to make Galton a British Wundt but the English-speaking psychologists he was attempting to influence had chosen German instead of British lineage. And, except for the correlation, much to Pearson’s disappointment Galton’s research was generally ignored (Boring, 1950). Boring (1950) says that whereas Wundt wanted to evolve psychology Galton wanted to evolve humankind. However, Boring (1950) also suggests that Galton’s work may have been fully assimilated (p. 482) by modern psychology and that he is not recognized as a psychologist because he was preoccupied with his uncle Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and didn’t generate much at that time that seemed directly related to psychology. What psychology he was involved with was called individual psychology, and in this research he extensively documented large samples of human traits (i.e. differences) (Boring, 1950). Galton published his research in 1883 called Inquires into human faculty and development. In this publication Galton argued that his research demonstrated that no differences existed between the world’s various religious populations, and that in fact the only scientifically demonstrable differences between any two human groups were between men and women, where men were inferior in almost every way (Boring, 1950).

Boring (1950) says that Galton hoped to displace religious dogmas with his new scientific Creed (p. 482) by which men would seek through evolutionary means to become Supermen (i.e. Nietzsche’s Zarathustra). Boring (1950) says that Galton believed that psychology was not measuring human differences that were the product of humankind’s conquer-ship of his natural plight, but were a set of defects and limitations and were ancestors of better generations (p. 483). Galton’s view of hereditary defects took the connotation of religions sin (p. 483). From this doctrine came the eugenics programs of the 20th century (Boring, 1950). In 1889, Galton published Natural inheritance that summarized his work on correlation and regression.

Galton devised the mental test to measure and document human differences (Boring, 1950) which was the forerunner of Binet’s mental tests and Stern’s introduction of the mental quotient (1911). Which became the I.Q. with the Standard Revision of the Binet Scale through Terman in 1916 (Boring, 1950). I.Q. testing and mental testing became different concepts as testing methods developed, and during WWI the United States Army implemented mental and intelligence testing to select soldiers and determine their duties (Boring, 1950).
Although Galton and Pearson are inextricably bound with the concept of correlation, in Pearson’s own 1920 memoir Notes on the History of Correlation he sates that Auguste Bravais (1811-1863) is the Father of Correlation. Pearson later said there was nothing in the work of Bravais that could not be found in Gaus (Piovani, 2008). However, Pearson published his paper in 1896 which typified the correlational methods used today (Cohen, 2001).

In 1904 Spearman developed the rank order correlation when studying human intelligence (Piovani, 2008). Pearson viciously rejected Spearman’s idea of rank order correlations on the basis that measurable things were true and continuous and therefore could not be ranked (Piovani, 2008). Pearson is also credited for inventing the Chi squared test for goodness of fit, and the concept of degrees of freedom (Stigler, 1999).

One of the early 20th century statistical inventions was William Gosset’s t-distribution published as the Student's distribution in 1908. At the time of his discovery, Gosset was an employee of Guinness Brewery who would not let their quality control secret out to the public. To get around his employer’s admonition Gosset published the t-distribution under the pseudonym Student that led to the common name Student's t-distribution (Cohen, 2001). The t-distribution is used for inference when the actual population standard deviation is not known and must be estimated. The t-distribution is used to test sample means and the likely-hood that they are from the same populations (Cohen, 2001).

The earliest statisticians like those at Delphi casted dice in fumy caves to predict the future or the meaning of certain events. They believed that improbable numerical combinations were communications from the gods. Similar oracles prevailed in the east, like the Chinese I-Ching that uses three coins. It could be said that to these cultures the gods resided in the random chance. Hope could be put into the random chance (i.e. Cardano) the same way hope could be put into a god.

Today science has methods to rid or lessen the experimental noise of its measurements, but still science explains much of their world based upon probabilities and odds. Although we have gotten very clever at disguising this, we still do this thing or that thing based upon probabilities. It’s just inescapable.
What’s important however is that by this powerful mathematic we can alleviate some of the chaos and the illusion of some static order can be gotten for the sake of measurement. Unfortunately, one never knows if chance is being eliminated when it shouldn’t be, or isn’t included when it should be. Nevertheless, statistics are the best we have to measure the world objectively, but the inferences drawn from statistics should be used with caution.

Statistiks and Ritual Magik: Reshaping the Middle Pillar Ritual

It is often believed by Magicians that there is some strange association between sound, color, thought, and of course the enigmatic LUX or L.V.X. Actually, these associations create the foundation for Magik in its ritual sense. This brief discussion is meant to show with modern statistical procedures as proof what already exists in the Occult as Dogma. Modern Magikal formulas like statistics can be applied to Occult formulas just like scientists use statistics in University Laboratories. Just like all other science, Magikal methods of extracting nature's Secrets must also be rigorous and objective if we are to ever expect reliable results from our Magik. Ultimately, there IS some fundamental real and objective feature that attaches the old correspondences to one another (i.e. colors, tones, concepts, planets, elements...etc). With statistics the Magikal correspondences can be proven by the same methods that prove physics, chemistry, astronomy, and every other so-called ‘legitimate’ science. However, as modern science denies the worth of such associations and rejects attempts at interpreting their meanings, Magicians know the value of internalizing and seeking out the most subtle of these patterns. Magicians know that the process of perceiving the underlying patterns of our existence and natural reality is a Magikal process, and because Magik resists predilections in it's quest and moves at knowing for Knowledge's sake, it will always precede exoteric science but also will always be demonized by it. For this reason the Magicians remain Silent.

Of all frequencies measured by hertz (i.e. cycles per second), brainwaves are the lowest- which means that they move the slowest and are the densest. Brainwaves are measured in five categories in modern neuroscience, which are delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma respectively. When the thresholds for these categories are partitioned, amazingly they correlate significantly to the five notes of a pentatonic scale. The correlational statistic used in this analysis is the standard Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Statistic used in all scientific laboratories in all Academic Institutions the world over. The results to this analysis can be replicated when a correlation statistic is done using the measures of : typical threshold brainwave states, the Gematria value of the Hebrew color words given in Crowley’s 777, spectral light frequency, and standard Western pitch frequencies at A = 440.





What this means is that thought, color-light, sound, and Gematria, are all correlated to such an improbable degree that it is sound publishable science. The question is- how the Hell did magicians and Qabalists have this knowledge so firmly established in their doctrines before spectrometers, Microsoft Excel, tuning forks, or sound mathematical theories and the concept of zero? How did they know the truth of ‘As above so Below?’ Who told them that everything vibrates and is in constant flux? This knowledge of constant change and vibration is not an observable truth, so why did the ancient adepts adopt so faithfully the doctrine of vibration as Heraclitus said, 'All is in flux.' The answer may be in our DNA. We need just look into ourselves, and have that elusive chat with our Holy Angel, that neuro-genetic Master and Gatekeeper of our Fate and Initiation!
Sound, light, words, and the electricity that encodes our thoughts, represent the same pattern just on various points along the same Continuum. What this also means is that when applied and the proper associations are known, colors and tones can be incorporated into ritual Magik to produce biological change. Meaning, frequencies make actual neurological changes because they activate hormonal and neuro-chemical processes that ultimately form new neurological connections and pathways enabling novel conceptual processes to emerge in the cortical areas of the brain, which in tern activates genetic predilections that are in latency and amplifies them. Just think of it as how spectral light affects growing weed- you need red lights to get lofty plants, but blue lights to make them flower into the good stuff. These various points along the light spectrum trigger different aspects of the plants genetic code, one light tells it to grow while another tells it to bud. The vibratory spectrum has even more of an affect on our genetic makeup.

So, now we understand a bit more about the scientific Pantheon of New Aeon Magik which is Vibrations/Matter/L.V.X./M.A.A.T. And, that the Magikal application of the Vibration/Matter/L.V.X/LUX/Had/Nuit pantheon is availed to Sons and Magicians pursuing actual scientific results.

So how do we apply this type of esoteric information to practical ceremonial Magik?

Intoning the God-Names is a crucial aspect of ceremonial Magik. Besides the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram, the Middle Pillar Ritual is probably one the most fundamental pieces to the Western Magikal Regimen.

Traditionally when the Middle Pillar ritual is done the God-Names used for intonation and visualization are those of the traditional Golden Dawn Qabalistic correspondences. However, since the true correspondences have been uncovered, we can now apply our new science to the old rituals.

Probably much criticism will be put to this system, but it is my understanding that the traditional Magikal associations are wrong, and serve as a ‘lure.’ What’s meant by this is that the commonly distributed Qabalistic dogma (i.e. Golden Dawn, Levi. etc.) is what Crowley called a ‘blind.’

Blinds, or veils, are placed over a doctrine so that it can be disseminated and students can be trained in all the requisite material and rituals without being bestowed with the key. That is, they learn their ‘misinformation’ with all the fervor of it being real, because they think it IS real. However, the initiate is never really told he has been misled, that is for each adept to discover for himself. In fact, this revelation of being deceived is the Initiation to sit at the Table of Gods in the City of Pyramids.

The Secret of LUX/L.V.X is in fact at the heart of this mystery.

The proper God-Names and visualized Spheres should not be:
EHIEH for KETHER --White
YHWH ALHIM for DAATH – Translucent Purple
YHWH ALHIM v’ DAATH for TIPHARETH --Yellow
SHADAI AL CHI for YESOD –Dark Purple
ADNI H ARETZ for MALKUTH --Black

The proper Names should be:
YHWH ALHIM v’ DAATH for KETHER – Translucent Purple

My Thought Layers: Technicolor Music and Loud Arrays of Words

I think in layers. Do you sometimes think this way too?

My thoughts sometimes begin from an impulse that reminds me of a sustained sub-bass note, but as they progress upward, they become an active "voice" in my head. Initially, my thoughts have a deeper, more symbolic, non-verbal meaning. Passing into the inner-audio channel, my language constraints hide their full meaning. I am multi-lingual and because I am, I have multiple vocabulary lists. Normally, I am a fast English thinker, but in cases of severe English limits, a Spanish word or less frequently, an Italian or some other language's word flashes on to my minds inner screen. My "Namer and Guesser" or "NAG" is in charge of analyzing all the raw information I receive from sensory input. For just a nanosecond, it matches that raw information with my internal computer's database to determine its name.  The only exception to this steadfast rule occurred when I initially learned used my psychic faculties because the raw information entered my mind through a channel not wired directly to the NAG, thus bypassing it completely.  Well, that was until the NAG learned how to splice into or "tap" the new channel and re-direct that raw information through it as well. It appears that the NAG has some control issues and doesn't like to share any of its responsibilities.  In fact, during my Controlled Remote Viewing sessions, the most challenging aspect for me was to "freeze" my impressions before or just as they were interpreted by my "Namer and Guesser."  

The "Namer and Guesser" is what Ingo Swann (pictured at left), creator of the Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV) protocol and the world's foremost authority on the intricacies and functioning of the mind's paranormal attributes, named the internal mental faculty that takes information, matches it with known objects, cross checks and compares it to other known objects and then subjects it to individual likes, dislikes and other programming peculiarities within the unique human psyche. All this is done in "nano-time."  An example of this function occurs when matching impressions from all the five senses with the two newly discovered senses.

Mr. Lyn Buchanan (pictured at right), a former student of Ingo Swann and former member the CIA's Top Secret CRV Unit responsible for the success of project "STARGATE," named the two newest senses the "Ambiance" sense (formerly known as the "Sixth Sense") and the "Psychic" sense (formerly known as the "Seventh Sense" or "Clairvoyant Channel"). How many times have you looked at something and had to look again because you were not able to identify it or because when you looked the first time, something seemed odd or out of place, but you weren't sure what or why? Yes, thank the "NAG" for telling you that it could not offer a you either complete analysis or even close guess based on the information you dared pass off to it as "complete."

During my Baccalaureate studies in Meteorology, I was (and still am) a Kinesthetic learner. I took copious notes, would look at diagrams, watch the teacher as he spoke and reconstructed class at my apartment when I would re-type my written class notes. This re-typing step was critical, as I reconstructed the Atmosphere into 12 layers, would physically move them vertically and horizontally at the meso-scale to get an idea about the atmospheric dynamics of weather systems and other synoptic features. I would make-up hand gestures (symbols) to accompany concepts that would otherwise require a considerable amount of time and effort to completely write out using rote memorization. All Atmospheric layers stack back to the colder air and jet stream maxes located at the 300mb level (30,000ft), which form "short waves" in the long wave pattern at the 500mb (18,000ft) level, thus creating conditions favorable for precipitation-type weather.

I have an entire notebook filled with acronyms that involves the use of a minor hand gesture that kicks off a mental process. For example, there's one that cues an entire thermodynamic process within our atmosphere. My grades reflected the effectiveness of this approach, as did the fact that I can regurgitate this information to anyone interested in hearing about it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work well in the home environment's self-teaching platform. These gestures and memory short-cuts were not always effective. Problems appeared when I encountered non-standard weather cases and anything else that didn't fit a classic scenario.  This immediate need for the right answer required me to make a "WAG," or "Wild Ass Guess." I thought that was what I was doing, anyway. Very recently, I was in a chemically-induced, altered state of mind that gave me an opportunity to re-evaluate some of my mind's mysteries.  Surprisingly, I discovered that even non-standard cases also stick to the same principles as the more common scenarios, but in a more sublime way. I realized that I had mentally inserted myself into the problem, and visualized myself with my back to the wind.  I mentally turned myself 15 degrees to the left, revealing the location of the low pressure center and it was from there, I discovered, that I was interpolating while making all my "WAG's." If only I had realized this earlier, I would have had much more confidence in my meteorological observations and forecasts. Incidentally, I discovered that I use a similar process which seems to work during all my improvisational music performances and other performance-based tasks that have an established system of measurement.  Other mental operations have different requirements which work so differently from the way that this example works.

While conversing, I "see" thought matrices and mental flow charts that "appear" on my "inner thinking screen." These charts deliver my responses to me before the other person has completed saying their piece. I am unsure if this is a form of telepathy, because I am always generating and completing my spoken words mentally before I hear the other person's  words flow vocally. I assume that others do something similar to this as well. Could this be an example of the mind's advanced computing power in action? Is it an educated guess based on the diminishing probability of certain phrases appearing at certain points in people's speech? I say that it is a combination of both and that there is also a telepathic element involved as well. There are advantages to being tuned in to others' conversational frequencies. I am never at a loss for words and can charm just about anyone I meet by saying things delivered from above, processed in the middle with my impulses from below--remember these? These impulses seem to relate to observations about my environment and the non-verbal cues I receive from my victim...er, um, the person with whom I happen to be conversing. The descending, improvised statements are inspired from an Esoteric energy or force that feels as if it is located just above my Crown Chakra.

Other Esoteric relationships exist between sensory stimuli and communication dynamics.  Through the study and practice of Ritual Magick, these relationships become more important.  Some of you may know that I am 1/3 of the way through with the Abramelin Operation. I will say that it is a completely transformative experience. Results present themselves just after the routine this Sacred operation begins to seem like second nature. Recently, I started to notice that words and phrases I use contains more than just colloquial meaning. Each word I choose to use when I speak has an associated color, each color "feels" as if it would have a direction if it were in motion. Each of these possible perceptions of movement and texture contributes to emotional impact of my immediate environment. This makes better sense when taken in the context of music lyrics. Music alone is capable of generating an emotional response that influences the immediate environment. Selecting words that have multiple meanings (i.e. the double entendre) and utilizing them at significant points in the musical score, with proper intonation, creates effects unique to each listener during a musical movement by synergistically effecting the emotional "punch" of the song. This is the very principle I try to apply to human speech and its effect on others.

Words have the power to make people angry, happy and sad. Words can also inspire. Some people have the uncanny ability to select words based on their emotional strength and use them quite effectively; one example is Advertising and Public Relations Specialists--needless to say, they earn quite a good living influencing our decisions and our actions. These are actually Magickal principles that we, as Esoterists, have known about since antiquity.  They are just now being discussed by the masses.  As modern students of the Western Esoteric Tradition, it is important for us to always be one step ahead of everyone else, so that we never allow ourselves to fall prey to deception or manipulation.  By learning to master the intricacies of sublime relationships like those previously discussed, we empower ourselves to  better understand how our world truly works.

Now, you know that there are real relationships between sound and color, and that when properly manipulated by someone in a Magickal context, a significant emotional impact may be affected on an individual, the entire audience or a specifically defined demographic therein. So, it is important for you to try to find examples of these relationships during your day. Just think, the power of mantra during visualization is an example of how sound waves influence brain activity. Something seemingly as simple as basic human conversation is actually a complicated chorus of coordinated physical and mental processes. I select my words based upon their specific tonal color and emotional "charge."  I enhance them even more by using proper voice inflection and subtle forms of non-verbal communication as well. I do this for a number of reasons, but primarily, I do it to benefit in some way from it, or to get some type of predetermined reaction from the people with whom I happen to be speaking. This means that I am using Magick to manifest whatever it is that I happen to need when I am speaking.

Hermetic Reality (Part 1)

Incorporating Hermetics Into Your Personal System of Magick!

The Magickal system of Hermetics is derived from the writings of Hermes Trimegistus whose secret doctrines and mystic teachings allegedly date back to ancient Eygpt and Greece. In 1908 these teachings were published as a condensed system under the name of "Kyballion", this book claimed to be a "master key" by which the Magickal adept or esoteric student could understand and control reality.  These teachings have a working core that consists of "seven principles".These are to be combined as one master under understanding.

The seven principles are as follows:

- The principle of mentalism.
- The principle of correspondence.
- The principe of vibration.
- The principle of polarity.
- The principle of rhythm.
- The principle of cause and effect.
- The principle of gender.

In the following series of articles, we will independently address and evaluate each principle and include information from new scientific advances.  A consise study of these principles will endow the student an invaluable and relavent understanding of the workings of this system.

He/she who has an understanding of reality, controls reality!

Nature's Plus ReGeneration Softgel Vitamins

Many of our readers have asked me to post a nutritional component breakdown of Nature's Plus Regeneration Softgel Vitamins.  So, I scanned the small, folded nutritional certification found in every bottle sold.  These are the vitamins used in the "Seven day Fasting Protocol" and by many others in the Esoteric community, well, OK...me!  

Anyway, these vitamins are the best I have ever used and I have used just about every type of formulation out there.  My hair feels "kitten soft," my nails grow rapidly, my skin is pliable, I feel a sense of wellness after they get into my bloodstream and the gray hair I used to worry about is not even a worry any longer.  Most importantly, they provide the nutrients I need to function well Esoterically.  These vitamins are easy on the stomach and are divided into a synergistic three tier formulation.  

To make trying them even easier, I have added a direct link to Amazon.com on the sidebar if you decide to go ahead and order a thirty day supply.   It is cheaper to order Nature's Plus ReGeneration Softgel Vitamins through Amazon.com, as they have a complete product guaranty and shipping costs are nominal.

(Click to Enlarge)

Full disclosure (YOU have a right to know!):  Because I have added a link to Amazon.com and since they have an agreement with Google to monetize web pages that feature their product offerings, specifically in this case, Nature's Plus ReGeneration Softgel Vitamins, an extremely tiny amount of revenue gets paid to me.  I keep none of it; not a cent.  I have also earned nothing to date.  All proceeds go directly to the contributing Magickians and Esoterists that write for "Modern Scientific Illuminism."  Believe me, the amount is fractional and has no bearing on the work we do to bring you the cutting edge information that you do need to create a new reality.  The monetization of my page also has no bearing on the products I use, books I read or anything else I blog about here.  That is a fact!  

I am setting out to educate, elucidate and emancipate your bodies, minds, hearts and souls from a system that degradates the Sacred Feminine, Magick, Thelema, and all other Western Esoteric arts.

Wake up! Arise and Shine ( Part 3)

“Life is but a dream!” Renowned thinkers, philosophers and sages state this repeatedly throughout recorded history. What are the implications of this quote to us?

The validity of reality is beyond provability. The nature of reality is by its own nature obscured and unfathomable. We should take nothing for granted during our waking state of consciousness. Nothing is set in stone.  Apparently, even the structure of stone itself is 95% empty space when viewed at the atomic level. So how we set about approaching something that evades the scrutiny of all scientific investigation?

There are existing systems, which we may adapt and use to investigate and scrutinize altered states of mind. Take, for this example, the case of “Lucid Dreaming.” By reading certain signs, the “lucid dreamer” learns to alert his “Super-Consciousness” that a dream is occurring. Almost immediately, this information passes on to the dreamer's waking mind and with constant practice, the dreamer then learns to control and direct the content and enviroment of their dreams for any number of reasons. This is a well-documented phenomenon. So if we are to accept reality as being “dream like” in nature, then the aim of the Magikal adept should also be to likewise learn and evaluate the signs, connect with the “All” and take active control of the “dream” that is life!

ALERT: You are now awake! Connect, Control and Live!

Connect, Control and Live!

Demystifying the Mystical: Ritual Purification and Fasting [Part Four]

The Seven Day Fast: A Proven Protocol*

Days 8, 9 and 10

“The Fast Break”

You did it! You completed the fast! You have lost fat, not muscle. You have detoxified your once polluted body. You have flushed yourself clean. You have re-invigorated yourself with vitamins, minerals and other herbal nutrients. You feel as if you could live on the fasting protocol as long as you desire; a far cry from the first few days when you were questioning whether or not to complete the fast. You now have a clean slate with which to use for creating the reality you choose. This process helps you celebrate life! Now, you just have to break the fast properly!

This is a simple fast breaking protocol to follow. Variants of this protocol are presently in use by other cultures and religious communities for various reasons, and have been used safely from time immemorial. It is imperative that you follow these directions explicitly. If you do not follow the simple process for breaking your fast, you will experience “metabolic shock,” which can result in severe nausea, dizziness and in rare cases, death.

YOU MUST NOT EAT ANY MEAT, OR COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES FOR AT LEAST THREE DAYS AFTER YOU COMPLETE THIS FAST! This is not due to social or esoteric reasons; it is because your body needs time to re-adapt to solid food first, then gradually, meat, pastas, breads, rice and the like can become part of your diet once again, in this order—Fish, chicken, then lamb or beef, and last, pork and crustaceans. The last two are lowest in vibratory rate. Rice, Pastas and other complex carbohydrates should also follow this same pattern--gradual reintroduction after three days.

Continue to visualize your body circulate and assimilate nutrients at the cellular, histological, organic and systemic levels of the body. Simultaneously, visualize your body eliminating dead cells, toxins and other waste materials.

Upon waking:

-Weigh yourself and take “tailor’s measurements,” Journal the information!
-Drink at least 12oz of water
-Face a mirror, look yourself directly in the eyes while stating, “I successfully completed my fast, per the Protocol, a testament to the sincerity of my intent!”
-State your Telos, or Magickal Purpose for undertaking the work

Breakfast:

Either 3 teaspoons of plain, strained (Greek style) yogurt (preferred) OR Cottage Cheese
5 spinach leaves or 3 lettuce leaves
1 baby carrot, steamed to your liking
Take 1 ReGeneration Vitamin
Drink 24oz of Water

Mid-morning:

5 spinach leaves or 3 lettuce leaves
1 baby carrot, steamed to your liking
Take 1 ReGeneration Vitamin
Drink 24oz of water.

Lunch:

Either 6 teaspoons of plain, strained (Greek style) yogurt (preferred) OR Cottage Cheese
5 spinach leaves or 3 lettuce leaves
1 baby carrot, steamed to your liking
Take 1 ReGeneration Vitamin
Drink 32oz of water

Late Afternoon:

Either 6 teaspoons of plain, strained (Greek style) yogurt (preferred) OR Cottage Cheese
Drink 24oz of water

Dinner:

Either 8 teaspoons of plain, strained (Greek style) yogurt (preferred) OR Cottage Cheese
5 spinach leaves or 4 lettuce leaves
2 baby carrots, steamed to your liking
Take 1 ReGeneration Vitamin
Drink 32oz of water

Early Evening:

Drink 12oz of water
Meditate on your Telos, using your preferred method of entrainment. Sweet dreams!

Days 9 and 10:

Utilize the outline above. Progressively ramp-up the amount of the Strained (Greek Style) yogurt or Cottage Cheese to 1/2 cup; likewise, increase the amount of spinach and steamed carrots and beginning with Lunch on Day 9, start to include fruit as well. Begin with small amounts (1/4 of a whole fruit, 1/2 oz of berries, etc.) of oranges, grapefruit bananas, blueberries and apples through dinner on Day 10. Remember to drink at least a gallon of water a day to keep your body flushed and operating at an optimum level, take your ReGeneration vitamin softgel at mealtime and use the meal schedule as an outline for you to use hereafter, so to keep your metabolic rate higher. Eating smaller portions with greater frequency is a proven metabolic boosting technique.

On the Fast Break day (Day 8) and the two days thereafter (Days 9 and 10), take one of the Senakot tablets two to three times a day; 1 upon waking, one at breakfast and 1 at mid-morning. Discontinue using Senakot as soon as you start having regular bowel movements again, or on day 10--whichever comes first.

As a pure weight loss tool, you may repeat the Seven Day Fasting Protocol every six weeks, as needed, in conjunction with a proper exercise regimen and approval of a Medical Professional. As an adjunct to major Magickal Practice, and if it be your will, add this regimen as needed, bearing in mind all the information contained in this series.

To make your own strained (Greek Style) yogurt, simply purchase paper coffee filters and plain low-fat yogurt. Pour all the yogurt into a bowl, rinse the original container clean. Place the coffee filter over the top of the yogurt container. Then, push the filter far enough down into the container so it holds a significant amount of the unstrained yogurt, but leaves enough of the filter extending up, past the top of the container, so that it can be folded down on the outside of the container then, rubber banded securely in place. Once the filter is securely fastened (remember, it will be supporting the weight of the yogurt), pour as much of the yogurt as possible from the bowl into the filter. Let stand undisturbed for 30 minutes, then refrigerate overnight. Cover the bowl containing the remaining unstrained yogurt, and return it to the refrigerator immediately. The next day, the yogurt in the filter will have the appearance of Ricotta type cheese. Carefully (without breaking the wet filter), remove the filter from the yogurt container, discard the water strained from the yogurt. You may repeat this process for the remaining amount of unstrained yogurt, re-do your current batch to make it even thicker or just use the yogurt container to hold your first batch of the Greek Style Yogurt.

This completes the Fasting portion of the Demystifying the Mystical: Ritual Purification and Fasting series. Future topics in this series include Ritual Bathing, Mutual Massage, the role of Essential Oils and the other necessary ritual purification practices prior to engaging in Modern Ritual Sex Magick and other forms of Energy Manipulation.

*Disclaimer -- Neither the FDA nor any Medical Professional has evaluated this protocol. Before dieting or fasting, always consult your Physician. If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, nursing, have a compromised immune system, have been told that you should not fast or if you take prescription medication of any type, do not undertake any of the actions described herein. Although I have personally completed this exact protocol many times with only positive effects, some may not be able to complete this process safely and effectively. I assume no liability for any harm which may come from this or any other health related issue and present the information in this post purely for informational and entertainment purposes only.

Wake up! Arise and Shine (Part 2)

Think for yourself! Abandon the way that you have become accustomed to thinking. Accept the fact that peer pressure conditions you to accept false beliefs and all that you consider part of your reality.


Think for yourself! Question--why should you question the validity of your reality? The answer is quite simple. Nobody can tell you where your place is within the structure of reality. They are not able to tell you what reality is or even where your reality may be located!


Speculating about the origin of the universe only leads to an endless barrage of other, more abstract speculations that Charlatans claim to be able to answer for us. Instead of wasting your time pondering “the meaning of life,” try accepting that you are an integral part of the “All.” Accept the fact that you have the gift of free will and that YOU can choose to believe whatever YOU want to believe! Think for yourself!


Each of us is at the center of the only reality that we will ever know. All your thoughts and conscious experiences are central to the personal theme commonly referred to as, “Your Reality.” All relative dimensional space is accessible vibratory space that the Magickal Adept may wish to explore. Allowing external negative influences to alter your perception of what is actually “out there” is, in fact, an act of surrender to that negative influence! Only your point of view is relevant to YOU! Think for yourself!

Demystifying the Mystical: Ritual Purification and Fasting [Part Three]

The Seven Day Fast: A Proven Protocol*

Days 2 through 7:

The first 3 to 4 days of the fast are the most difficult to complete. Your joints may ache slightly as your body eliminates waste material deposits from your synovial fluid. This “achy” feeling will subside toward the end of the process. Additionally, you will experience headaches through days 3 and 4, as your brain and body are adjusting to their perceived lack of Carbohydrate and Omega Three Fatty Acids, as well as to the overall detoxification process. These headaches should disappear completely by the end of the 4th day. IF these headaches become unbearable or you experience any other type of side effect that seems out of the ordinary at any time during the fast, seek Professional Medical help immediately!

Once you are about ½ way through the process, you will discover the profound role that food plays in your life. You will begin to notice sublime spiritual and mental changes along with a marked physical change in your physical appearance. Also, the way you think about food will forever be different. You will scrutinize the food you decide to put into your body in a whole new way. “Nutrition” becomes a new priority, as do flavor and portion control. Making sure that you and anyone else around you never wastes food again, will become something people associate with you forever more. You will also begin to experience increased energy that may force you to go to bed at a later time, but should not prevent you from falling asleep.

Remember that this fast has a strong nutritional component. Consequently, you will not loose muscle or send your body into “starvation mode” the way you would if you fasted by just eating bread and drinking water. Refill your Pur Water Pitcher every time you use it, exercise lightly, meditate and creatively visualize your Telos everyday; this keeps you Magickally focused on the quantum physical level on up through the various spiritual levels. So long as you maintain your new healthy lifestyle, the approximate 10lbs to 15lbs that you lose during the process will never return. I personally like to cook my favorite dishes during my fasts, just to keep the temptation level on “high” and to show others that fasting is possible under any circumstance!

“A temptation resisted is the true measure of Character!” - Dega (Dustin Hoffman), “Papillion”
