My Robe of Stars

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

I should think by now that the symbolism of the Starry Robe would be observed as not only the signature of cosmic consciousness but of the microcosm. Also, Hadit Unto Nuit. Let us move forth with a lecture on choosing the garment you will - for myself has been those many years where my aspirations and dedication has been steadfast.

How radiantly healthy I awoke this morning knowing that today marks forty nine years in the Order when on this day in 1976 e.v. I signed my first Oath and Task. All those adventures of the Path have been glorious, of course, yet realize that I have also seen any number of those dark nights of the soul in others; and on the occasion of the ordeal seen a few thorns pierce viciously into my feet as I struggled to move forth on my Path. Everything was worth it; and the insights and learning process does not end for those who do not give up. I have been less disappointed in myself and my progress than others who I foolishly thought would survive not at all times seeing those signs which after years of experience might have less of a tendency to be deceived. Nevertheless, as an Instructor students are on better behavior toward me than others so even in present days I can be deceived by a student. A higher percentage than I like fail yet this is not the Path for weak fools or those whose motivations are out of touch with the reality of their karma. Well, you did not travel such a distance to this lecture to hear anything of this in detail. What you really will and want is what to do to achieve the higher magick and initiations for the magician and exorcist. The issue is if you are not absolutely dedicated I can take the instruction so far. Can you stand the strain of time? After all, self discipline is not the same as me disciplining you. Never give up. Never give up. Never give up. I do not regret my stand or reaction to those failed students who tell me they “need a break” or try to return after giving up. Opere citato which is: Liber Tzaddi, line 23.

I should remark that levels of initiation do come out in a carefully studied essay; and even those who are expounding a thesis on the level of Exempt Adept they are yet below the abyss. We do have a few random intellectuals who give some good lectures but they on the main explain it the way A.C. explained it not knowing the originality of thought that would be possible if they gained the higher initiations. They are, of course, valuable but I urge all students to develop coordinates or, as it were, parameters of Our Holy Books based for themselves. This is important to emphasize where in the aftermath of their experiences of initiations they will give perspectives and insights that are at least a truth for them. Again, truth isn’t always reality for everyone on every plane of existence. This is simply one of the paradoxes of not only initiation but of how phenomenal existence manifests when you are working the higher magick. Working out a “ripple of your hair” or karma essential to open a magical doorway where the Guardian of the Threshold steps to the side is a step forth for what exists with the vision and the voice on the other side. Some of these insights take years to unfold. How important it is to keep a steadfast magical record where something like an insight that came to you years ago can be reviewed from the present for your present Self whose initiations can understand it.

Shall we begin this morning’s private lecture to all of you by stating that to become a true magician and exorcist it is not enough to become the axle of the wheel. We are instructed by Authority to be the cube in the circle. Moreover, unless you’ve established yourself in the Plane of Disks the basis or foundation of your Pyramid will have no clarity of manifestation.

No doubt, this shall be clear enough as a mature bud will of a thought form that has flowered into a reality where it is easily understood everywhere, all at once by Me. Yet, to expound it shall be when its attempt to give the shortest distance to comprehension some very real examples and explanations are going to take more than a singular paragraph. No doubt, to keep the primal fear to a minimum I should include at least some humor. Nevertheless, we have serious motivations to observe zeal to those below us whose aspiration is clean and pure.

As someone with a clever sense of humor I went to the marketplace in search for garment where I informed the young woman who was wearing a low cut blouse to keep me on my toes that today was mother’s day. She immediately informed me that I was mistaken on the date that here in the New England States of USA mother’s day was on May 11th. I immediately informed her that today was payday whereof I was obliged to pay this mother and that mother. With the stark realization that I had set her up for a jovial exchange we smiled evil smiles at each other as I dashed off with my newly purchased garment knowing that I must of most assuredly given her a brief moment of relief or humor at her tedious and boring life as a garment merchant.

Such immediate correlation of symbolism does not occur to those whose meditations are absent from corresponding correspondence where you interpret every phenomena as a particular dealing with God and your soul. Indeed, we do not have an aspiration for the payday of karma to take lifetimes and with regards to True Will the accounting is immediately initiated as your True Self free from those complexes you take the accounting dealt to you as you learn to cause change in conformity with your will. After all, our very definition of magick is to cause change in conformity with will. Yet, you cannot permit yourself the delusion of what the universe has imposed on you from your actions from permitting yourself to be overwhelmed with currents that would hinder you. An example would be how an unchecked obsession where the interpretation presents the delusion that you’ve created the point event rather than a mere synchronization. Doing your magick you must learn to aim and fire volition in accordance with your True Will. This is clearly distinguished from some novice who thinks they are responsible for a war in a distant land, a rainfall in India, a wildfire in California, an accident in the immediate area, a death somewhere else or the nervous breakdown of a third world nation. This occurs with the young magician working the Path where they must distinguish what they have willed from the fluctuations of phenomenal existence. In extreme cases such delusions of what your magick is really doing can result in failure to advance; or worse that time where when reality catches up with you, you’ve tried to cover yourself with conspiracy theory. It should be ample warning to the novice that your God Force is not questioned by the blasphemy against all Gods of men. Meaning, the Current of the Times must be aligned where those old Aeon manifestations are persistently banished where clarity of True Will permits no obstacles with the True Self. “Do what you want” clearly is not what We mean by “Do what thou wilt”. Of course, if your disordered nephesh or masturbating ruach has gone unchecked you cannot think as you will but are a slave to any number of delusions on your next step. With regards to the issue of the “disordered nephesh” we do not observe a contradiction from an immediate complex on a lower plane from lust to enjoy all things of sense and rapture. If you are gross you will be passed through fire. With regards to “masturbating ruach” as another common error we apply the method of science with the aim of religion where we aspire to will the flow of neshamah to ruach. In such a scenario, your payday or karma will, I dare say, catch up to you where permitting such problems to go unchecked you lower yourself to the insanity of mundane stagnation when it catches up to you either die, go insane, or live the rest of your life deluded on what you’ve become. Such is the tedious reiterations of those who fail the Hierarchy; and run away in bewilderment that they permitted themselves to deteriorate with a lack of self esteem, centralization, zeal, neglect of their magical practices; and delusions of how they perceive what is occurring around them. Why no, it was never part of the plan for you to become a puppet to old Aeon forces but to embrace the magical energy of the 93 Current where you sail forth unhindered by obstacles that we warned you of in the preliminary lectures.

It is, indeed, a most extraordinary concept of pragmatic eruptions to consider what you do in the present is vital to create the timeline of your will where finally you see what you’ve truly accumulated as those actions of present work phenomenal existence and the sum of your fortune is observed where the accounting has built a reality such as you have truly willed. No doubt, if your idea of a perfect mistress is Peggy Sue the cheerleader why settle for some stupid prostitute? Or if you find the experience of a waitress of interest why settle for the insanity of a woman who has wasted her life as a lawyer? Or if a female is a lawyer who you are fascinated by her keen intellect why settle for the uneducated waitress? If every man and every woman is a star then the hindrance of placing anyone in a class is ego gratifications; or even permitting yourself to be a puppet of another delusional perception of reality based on old Aeon dogmatic protocol might be the issue.  Make those decisions of your will consistent with who you realize you are or need to experience for the True Self where the timeline of the present creates a reality for the immediate; and a future consistent with success gives you your truth. For your truth is your truth; and this will not be the reality of others. You have lowered yourself to the dispersion of philosophy to dogmatically proclaim truth is reality. Who are you to chart another star’s course? Be determined not to be a puppet; and adjust yourself as you unfold those complexes that hinder your True Self.

As a magician we must carefully select any aggregate of those multitudes of carefully chosen ceremonies and magical gestures to adjust the present so that the timeline might be most favorable for the immediate future. No doubt, we make decisions that have consequences. Yet, if those consequences are in alignment with your True Will you most certainly must include them in the pockets of your magical robe. So, what is needed after you’ve painted your circle, you have sewn and embroidered your robe, you’ve carved your wand; you’ve seduced several mistresses who seem possibilities for a Priestess; and are about to make plans for daily practices of a magical sort? Well, some might create a ceremony for the opening of the Temple where they announce their aspirations and will. Then proceed to use the banishing ritual of their choice, a major ritual, a License to Depart or any number of those ceremonies which will be developing your skills for the basic magick.

How perfectly counterproductive it is towards mutual civilized exchange, don’t you think? Where any means of further conversations would be duly compromised by informing them they should eat shit and die! My radiantly perfect advice would be to avoid such viral and toxic outbursts proceeding to balance the debate by other means that would not stifle the flow of exchanged insights. Why, of course. Following my advice could only lead to a far more efficient conversation although it might be randomly considered the notion or vision the satisfaction of beating them over the head with a baseball bat might have momentary satisfaction. I absolutely do not recommend such behavior. Adjust your garment, keep self discipline and instead of the tedious task of washing off the flesh and blood from the melee instrument you can ask Peggy Sue to the movies, dinner and those episodes of bedroom so eagerly sought after by those who enjoy such mutual scenarios. Adjust the timeline of the present with your magick so a favorable future might be anticipated!

The more you do. The more you can do.

Love is the law, love under will
