Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
The latest question on an example of a magical power not listed in “Little Essays Towards Truth” is difficult for it does hint at it.
Nevertheless, I shall go over “The Power of the Sand Glass” where it involves pragmatic applications of Racial Initiation which only a Master of the Temple can use with understanding. Better concentrate on your own private initiations before you take on the world(s) with trying to change the world. A initiation for all of humanity is our definition for “Racial Initiation” which makes the application of “The Power of the Sand Glass” shall be too advanced for anyone below the Abyss with regards to application or Magical Gesture. Work on individual life, private initiation prior to Universal Life and Racial Initiation. Be that as it may, after this essay you will shall perceive how my particular path gained an interest in Darwin’s thesis.
In order to understand what “The Power of the Sand Glass” is as a magical power for the higher Grades you better observe it from the perspective of Tiphereth. Yet Tiphereth is below the Abyss so all you are going to receive are the process with an initiation that eventually shows you how to view the Timeline to create Change on higher levels. We know Time past and Time to Come, of course, but the issue of Water has to include Passion which is “Love under will” making it a green line where this is a hint of what Magical Gesture involves knowing what to do with regards to our evolutionary process. Knowing what we really were; does give a hint of what to become and always Unto Nuit.
As Uncle Archimedes slyly remarked: “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” For it is all about not only the balance of opposites it also knowing what to apply and the right force. As for Uncle Issac Newton and his study of the Emerald Tablet he did what he did with his theory of Gravity others were born to continue his great research; and even had he cracked the magical secrets of the Emerald Tablet he would have only given the theory without how to work it out where it might be used as a magical power or, more important used properly as a Magical Gesture. Shall we meditate on the Gravity of the situation where although he planted the seeds he never saw the great Tree that was grown from his efforts.
So what occurs when the Eagle becomes one with the man? No doubt, the concept of the predator cannot be denied as a factor but, indeed, the man or “humanity” to those lost in the confusion of modern semantics we absolutely cannot deny the saturation of Divine Force in Nephesh is very important. Controlling such forces you might at Adept Major use the methods of sex magick where Lust must not be denied; and it is directly emphasized in our Holy Law. Yet, this doesn’t necessarily give you the “Power of the Sand Glass” where you are now involved with racial initiation. The exception to this remark involves complexities of the Temple of Nuit workings which I must refer you to Liber Nu and Liber Had. So involved is this I have already covered how to open these magical doors in other volumes.
Gallows of infamy dancing with the fruit of the just? The symbolism is brilliantly expressed where the New Aeon magical power of the Sand Glass doesn’t involve mere fortune telling but a very real method where the decisions of what the next step shall be with the Timeline for our evolutionary process from the direct perspective of initiation. The “play of the magician” observed from the Supernal shows only temporary fixes which deteriorate into the lower planes. We are not professional soldiers that dare not fight but play; and the only power worth having is the Power of a God; and in this Aeon We decide who is to cluster to exalt depending on the necessity of what to apply, when to apply, when it is ready to apply and apply it even it is seems merciless to the old Aeon die-hearts.
You don’t have to have a strong affinity for the Element of Water to see this magical power with clarity but often enough what Holy Chapter you memorize will evolve into something glorious.
Love is the law, love under will
