Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
I have covered recently how you deal with magical energy that has accumulated as a Egregore that is met with adjustment by alignments or links that assure that it does not deteriorate into the Qlippoth where the supernal of the 93 Current properly manifests the magical energy. I should relate how a word of the Equinox can be an efficient tool. Just remember that such a word has its season. This issue and others shall be elaborated upon with more emphasis to be absolutely confident that we have warned about it. As already explained ships have crashed on this Island with this problem and you are bound to encounter them as you move forth on the Path.
Are these issues pertinent to other systems of western esotericism might be a question? Well, we are dealing with the complexities that are resolved by receiving the 93 Current and other Currents so Thelemites will benefit from it although it might seem like nonsense to some whose system does not parallel our curriculum. Not every Thelemite is affiliated with the Order. Nevertheless, Thelemites without our Circles will try to teach something from Our A∴A∴ Liberi such as the Star Ruby or the Mark of the Beast so perhaps some of this might sense to them. It might seem rather rude to state that a solo Thelemite has more incarnations than those who have actually had the courage to affiliate by signing the first Oath and Task. Well, I’ve been called worse than rude.
How satisfying to see a new member whose background has skipped over the type of deterioration from social media, dogma that enslaves, ruach masturbation, disordered nephesh, or sexual hangups, and begins to see real progress as their sincerity has made them realize how quickly the 93 Current brings acceleration to the processes beginning to manifest a real initiation. I have seen proof time and time again that no lies exist in our manifesto ONE STAR IN SIGHT and everything it proclaims becomes a reality where at first glance you might have the notion that exaggeration or sensationalism have to exist within its content. Be assured, that if you meet each Oath and Task with courage and perseverance you will eventually gain knowledge and conversation with the A∴A∴.
In my past two essays I explained how a new current with major Feast and Equinox or Solstice does bring on a specialized adjustment where you eventually through experience note how the manifestation is going to adjust. It is up to the aspirant to embrace these sub currents as complexes that need to be guided by your True Self. Depending on your Grade and initiations the thought form can take very interesting releases that come out in your writings.
Any group that does not pass on a word of the Equinox gets what is coming from the present status and presence of the energy. At least a word given will give some rudimentary vision of the tendency of the force. To give a parallel of this, you can drink a glass of water not knowing it is called water but the effects of it are the same. Nevertheless, do not mistake the idle waters of conjecture for the raging waves of experience rushing over you from true initiation and how to deal with magical energy means magical practices.
Your immediate Superior passed on the special word of the Equinox noting that the new current adjusting has some symbolism that covers the overall thought form? Very well, it is up to you to use that word until its season ends included with the body of your magical gestures. If the word passed on to you is “center” from, for example, the Winter Solstice then some meditation and magical gesture can be contemplated on the center of the Tree of Life, Tiphareth, or the concept of self esteem or the axle of the wheel if you decide to move with correspondences in these directions. Any number of other words exist until their season fades where you are dealing with serious meditations that might take you in directions unforeseen. An Equinox word that is passed on might be gained in any number of method but my chosen method is to get a word from one of our Holy Books. I close my eyes open the Holy Book and let my forefinger fall on a word. Well, try it and see how it works for yourself for how I proceed might not be how you proceed with equally satisfying surprises of consistency. You might use Tarot, Astrology or any of the many versions of divination. It is demanded from the Neophyte you choose a divination; and Neophytes might very well use their chosen divination. So whatever you decide is your chosen word of the season might have any number of methods. The attitude that if you do it the way I describe I do it you won’t go wrong might be flattering but it isn’t necessarily always the best way to proceed. We are not trying to assembly line dogmatic robots but encourage, on the contrary, that raw individuality that erupts from working out the complexes so the True Self is revealed where the True Will realized, and the Great Work is perpetuated. Using a stimulating or even intensely amusing example, if you are three hundred incarnations from becoming a Western Master you might knock off forty or fifty incarnations by doing everything the way I do it but your real progress where you bring the accounting balance to the immediate simply might not occur. It is sheer folly to ignore that the rituals are half revealed and half concealed. You observe how it tells you to do it in our official documents, true, but something will occur which reveals to you something about the ritual that makes you change something or add something. Every star is going to be on a path where his inclinations are to erupt insight that is individual being a unique star. This means anyone trying to demonstrate a ritual from our Curriculum might very well lead new aspirants astray. Let this be a warning to those who observe someone try to show you how to do Liber V or Liber XXV on video where no matter how perfect his adherence to what he reads there will be that which is half concealed. Ad libitum is as important in theater as it is in group work or individual works in your private Temple. Yet what manifests to you although it resembles Ad libitum is different than a instruction from on high although it seems to be an identical occurrence. Your ruach might observe it as Ad libitum but the proof is in the step up of magical energy by doing this you should do it gaining true neshamah while someone else might receive different instructions completely.
Even further, you must realize the dangers of dogmatic thinking and realize that you might succeed by doing nearly everything I way I do it; and learn to adapt a method that flows right for your will. I most certainly do not want anyone as a slave where the relationship between immediate superior and aspirant of a lower Grade has adjustments and issues completely different from star to star, system to system. This issue where originality is actually stifled by too much social activity among members can be tedious to observe where the line is crossed and I should mention with every star with different skills, and A.C. saw the issue; warned us all about it years ago. You simply can’t be right one hundred percent of the time with such decisions yet you will do the aspirant no harm to give the aspirant fair warning, honest advice and the sharing of our experiences. I take it that it doesn’t always pan out with regards to reputation where the failure runs to social media whining on what I tyrant I was; while the loyal member continues to work; and ask those questions which are priorities of their Path. I treated each no differently in the sense of my advice; and differently depending how their ego has compromised their self discipline. As it is written:
“Therefore is the Eagle made one with the Man, and the gallows of infamy dance with the fruit of the just.”
How I answer the foolish man isn’t going to be how I answer the sincere aspirant.
Love is the law, love under will
