The theme is further developed in Zoroastrianism - From Wiki - Other scholars assert that since Zoroastrianism's divinity covers both being and mind as immanent entities, it is better described as a belief in an immanent self-creating universe with consciousness as its special attribute, thereby putting Zoroastranism in the pantheistic fold where it can be easily traced to its shared origin with Indian Brahmanism.[22][23] In any case, Ahura Mazda's creation—evident is widely agreed as asha, truth and order—is the antithesis of chaos, which is evident as druj, falsehood and disorder. The resulting conflict involves the entire universe, including humanity, which has an active role to play in the conflict.[21] ---- Sources vary as to the origin of the Druj, some are closely akin to Lurianic Kabalah, wherein the chaos principle, that is Ahriman, is the result of creation, earlier accounts point towards the chaos as an eternal principle co-existing with the organizing, male principle, akin to other near eastern creation accounts. ---- ENuma ELish online http://www.sacred-texts.com/ane/enuma.htm

From the Grimoire of Tiamat - The motif of Chaos preceding creation is found in mythologies worldwide. It is usually described as Darkness or Night, the Void, the Gaping Abyss, or Ocean of Black Waters. In the Greek lore this is Tartarus, in Scandinavian myths it is Ginnungagap, Egyptian cosmogony includes the primeval ocean of Nun, and in the Sumerian tradition we have the primordial watery abyss of Apsu and Tiamat. The Womb of Chaos is the birthplace and the abode of dragons, giants, monsters, demons, and primal gods. It is the tohu-bohu - the formless void described in Genesis. The black waters of the First Mother are like the cosmic ocean of Nun. She is called the Deep, the Void, the Womb, and the Abyss. Gerald Massey associates the waters of Nun with Tepht, the abyss, the source of all life, and equates them with Tiamat, the Great Mother. Tepht is the well from whence the waters issue, the dwelling underground, where the Dragon gave birth to her brood of monsters on the earth. It is the “lair of the dragon,” “the hole of the snake.” It is also the mythical birthplace of life and vegetation, water to drink, food to eat and air to breathe, the womb of the Cosmic Mother. As the watery Chaos, Tiamat is identified with the Hebrew concept of Tehom, which means “the deep.” There is also a slight resemblance between these two accounts of Creation, as they both include the motif of dividing the waters under the firmament from the waters above. In the Babylonian myth, Marduk splits the body of Tiamat and from her flesh, he fashions the firmament which keeps her upper waters in place, forming the heavenly ocean above the covering of heaven. It is not clear what happens to the lower waters, but a part of them is believed to form Hubur, the river of the underworld. The epic also mentions the so-called Ti-amat e-li-ti and Ti-amat sap-li-ti, the Upper Tiamat and the Lower Tiamat, which are equivalents of the waters above and under the firmament. === There are some who would argue, that the very nature of high magic, is to increase the influx of light into matter, thus keeping the primordial waters of chaos at bay.

Ok, nevermind the word 'waters' lol - think chaos and order.

Sorry for any confusion, I mean waters in a broader sense. More akin to a prime chaotic material than manifest 'earthly' waters.

Bummed.

booyow.

Same here, very positive expeirence. Nice goodies too with the book.

Vectoring djinn?

hmmm. i can only speak from personal experience, i dont summon entites or anything, but after intense energy workings, meditations or rituals I find myself heading straight for the cookies and milk lol. like clockwork.

Pelican This active working with the soul forces is perfectly pictured in the Pelican. The Pelican is shown stabbing its breast with its beak and nourishing its young with its own blood. The alchemist must enter into a kind of sacrificial relationship with his inner being. He must nourish with his own soul forces, the developing spiritual embryo within. Anyone who has made true spiritual development will know well this experience. One’s image of one’s self must be changed, transformed, sacrificed to the developing spiritual self. This is almost invariably a deeply painful experience, which tests one’s inner resources. Out of this will eventually emerge the spiritual self, transformed through the Pelican experience. The Pelican was in this spiritual sense a valid image of the Christ experience and was used as such by the early alchemists. “Using consciously the forces of the etheric body.” http://www.levity.com/alchemy/alcbirds.html THE EMPRESS She is Binah, Understanding, the Sanctifying Intelligence, termed “the foundation of Primordial Wisdom,” because Divine Wisdom proceeds from that perfect understanding of Itself (REFLECTIVE) and of Its power through which Spirit purifies and completes all its creations. This purifying power is associated with Water (represented by a stream and pool in the background of the picture), and Binah, as the “root of Water,” corresponds to the Great Sea –Prakriti, Aphrodite, Mare – Mary. She is also the Salt (THE BODY) which is the active principle of that Sea {UNCONSCIOUS/PRIMA MATERIA}. ~Paul Foster Case http://www.hermetics.org/pdf/intro.pdf

This is great stuff. edit - aha its 'that' sotg, his old pdfs blew my mind a couple years back

Our culture makes such a big freaking deal out of sex. Meanwhile teeanage boys are watching rape porn for free on the internet. Another L for western civ.

The nature of beingness is constant inter-related flux? Excuse my ignorance, def jumped in on this one to learn.

he should have known better than to give ego to animals. lol

Theres seems to be ample space for metaphysical specualtion in the dhammapada alone, gods, heaven, hells and rebirths, etc.

Thanks for the succint post, so the Buddha was not dismissing the possibility of an unmoved changeless mover, but saying 'it does not matter' in regards to realization?

Heya dc9, briefly, I think you are confusing THOUGHT with DESIRE; people have thoughts all the time and make reality conform to that thought, for instance I can have a thought to make a sandwhich, and voila, I carry out the thought via will (action) to manifest a sandwhich...but that is not magick nor is it a wonder From the sound of it, you have the desire force to have an 'experience' - the real question would be, 'experience for why' or 'what'

Cant say I disagree with any of your points, the gospels become very subtle; especially when one becomes familair with the inner landscape and her symbols. I must say Paul was most defintly some sort of initiate based on his epistles alone, with what school is up for debate, but ultimately they all teach the same thing imo, thanks.

In all fairness to Paul, Jesus as an Adept, and dare I say a Deity, purposely contradicted himself often, the key is noticing who he is addressing - you mentioned the well known verse 'not one iota (yod)' and the 'righteousness of the pharisees' - yet in the very same gospel, he calls the Pharisees hypocrites and a broods of vipers, and again tells them God can raise a new 'chosen' people from 'stones' - so which is it? Both most likely, the teaching seem to be adapted to circumstance. Either way, from the sanctioned Christians point of view, all things were accomplished, the heaven and earth passed away but not in a litetal sesne with the crucifxion and resurection of Christ, so the Law of Moses is nullified post Ascencion. New wineskins.

I dont know whats going on but i like it.

Indeed, I've been interested in the role of Grace in lab work. Whats going on here: I cant get the vid to embed...

Well put, now why do you think all the sages spent so much time praying in their labratories. lol.

I've done one real divination in my life, it was to be a single card, I asked, "is the Great Work bullsh!t." I shuffled the cards and pulled The Magician trump Robert Anton Wilsons Cosmic Trigger is basically a course work in seeing how the mind interacts and can affect reality, with no tools needed. The pdf is floating around out there. Good luck!
