Waves of Energy

written by David Bersson

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

Waves of energy in Initiation have given me; over the years a clarity of spirit that I have decided must be the purging of the purity of the prophet -- and this should not be taken as dogmatic -- for your personal initiations might take you to areas of the known Universe of Insight that might turn everything I write about this issue upside down. Remember the Book of the Law tells us that there is a veiling of the shrine; and star and star, system & system do not know well each other. Confer Liber AL.

In clarity of spirit go We forth, the Philosophers, theorists, mathematicians, the magicians, the exorcists, the kabbalahists, the scientists, the writers of Θελημα move forth on the Path in this Age of the Crowned Conquering Child knowing that, after all, the tribulation of ordeal is bliss; and who could know this better than those who have known, dared, willed and became silent in their attempts to promulgate our Holy Law; whose Word is Θελημα.

As the energy from the concentration of real Work increases; the enemies who so shamelessly betrayed their Oaths, who lied publicly about us, who slandered us, who spread the slime of misinformation into the very public squares, become, before all, traitors that have tied themselves to a prison of lies; forever choking in their meager and petty attempts to justify their failures. Yes, as the energy increases from the Work of real Initiates-- and every Temple vibrates with the Serpent Vibrations that I shall not elaborate on in this particular essay-- those enemies, who seemed so vicious, evil and uncontrolled are but the many voices of the abyss; where the Sign of the God of Silence; and His active Twin dispel them as We move forth to insights that would be beyond their rotted ruach, decayed nephesh and non existent neshamah.

Waves of energy. Waves of energy. Waves of energy. What is this miracle of manifestation that continues to enlarge my perspective; and inspire my moment? Verily, only those who are of Us can divine the transformation backwards that is forward, (as Incarnation of your ancient spirit has truth in genetic manifestations, of course!!) the averse that is upright; (confer Liber Tzaddi) the color that absorbs all; (Note black is Binah) and the Divinity of the Force of what we have come to call the Thelemic Current absolutely rewards its Loyal with magical powers beyond your wildest dreams.

Jewish Initiates and students of the Kabbalah write of the ש descending into יהוה to try to attempt to explain the Wave of Energy of their awareness of the Sun Current. Armenian Adepts speak about None manifesting Her Primal Existence; and attaining the Force of Ar into the Core of their hearts as Tir the God of Wisdom Speaks; and gives them the balanced force of Vanatur; the Goddess of Civilized Exchange-- the expounder of the birth mysteries of Anahit. Then we have another Brother somewhere who is released from the Sleep of the Vault; and hides the Jewels of the Sanctuary under a Rose making it invisible magically allowing no one but those who are worthy. All these examples are accompanied by this self same Wave of Energy that becomes Spiritual Insight with Transformation.

Last night, last night, last night I thrice meditated upon the origin of this blessed, acquisition of Energy determined in the back of my mind to search the night through my decades upon decades of magical diary to see wherein inhabited the origin of my present Gift from the Gods; yet alas to no avail. A part of me resisted the sensible equations of the matter; and after all --- star and star, system and system; and who am I to save these people --- yet I am bound by My Oaths and must adhere to the method of science so that Initiation and magick might yet be redeemed in the matter written about in ONE STAR IN SIGHT. Hours not really wasted where memories were revived from my diaries gave me perspective; and this seemed good for me. None the less, I awoke before the break of dawn; the energy continuing to saturate My Being; and purge My soul. Was it the sword I placed upon the naked soul of my disciple whereof I tested him to see if he would join my enemy? Was it the Scarlet Spell of Wanga that was imparted upon the Inner Planes; and I shared with a Brother to awaken havoc as Brothers against our common enemy? Was it the newest talisman of magick I created called Inter Dimensional Doorways released into the world? Was it another Trance imparted to me that is not written anywhere; and implies a closet of Garments not suspected to be worn by the King and His Court? I know not; and after returning to a sleep of peace I then slept long into mid day awakening to know the answer; and the energy Itself had resolved my unresolved links in this chain that had baffled me; and surprised me.

The entire parable is in the Sword that is driven into the Stone that cannot be taken but any but the true King. The parable appears in many places; but none the least in the story of folklore and written in the invisible ink upon the ancient leather books that shall never disintegrate-- for they exist in places on planes where only the elite that have been proved, would be permitted access.

Yes, I knew this before I REALLY knew this; and I only now know it as it should be known -- and therefore I may yet again know it knowing I have not known it on the plane I now know it, and realize it on yet another plane where the lens of my Being does not yet View it for want of a way to peer around the blind spot of still another perspective to know it yet again!
(Will I then know it? Of course not, that would be a black brother attitude!)

I have watched the tendency of my rivals finding the tendencies of these waves of energy being sensed have driven them insane with hatred for me. Only I really know why they have acted as they have and I never meant to be the Watcher or idlely watch their business-- merely being curious how they could be so sure of themselves with so little energy!!

Nevertheless I beheld my formulas of magick in their slave like mimics; and resisted compassion and hatred; knowing that they could not exist for me in the way they did before my greater initiations.

So then, these Waves of Energy appeared in phenomenal existence itself assisting me in my understanding of cause and effect. Every true Initation does double, triple Duty; and manifests into the Plane of Disks in ways that I may not have time in this lifetime to understand completely.

To see the Word of the Law, being Θελημα in still another Light is a joy that can only met with by experience.

In closing, I might hint that the Light of NOX naively called the Night of Pan --- and more correctly called the omnipresence of Her Body as perceived from the point of view of Energy Manifesting Will and Will manifesting Energy and Manifestation manifesting potential -- the Madness of Pan, the Frenzy of Odin, the Vengeance of Ar, the Reward of Ra-Hoor-Khuit, the Trance of the Temple of Nuit, and the Great Reward that hath a secret Name to No Man, i.e. Nemo is only one of the treasures that arise from the Great Sea of Insight where Waves of Energy awaken initiation and purge your being of the stress of magical warfare or general past karma.

Of course, there is more to what I'm saying I'm saying having said what I said I use this new magical power to create Temples and Arcane between the words of what I say so that I need not spend all day talking overmuch where spiritual insight is manifested directly as pure energy; and the energy that I have set up where the Juggling is done so perfectly that the objects Juggled are invisible revolving around an invisible House.

Love is the law, love under will

Dark Night

Written by David Bersson

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

The Dark Night of the Soul is a very real and terrible ordeal for the aspirant. How is it when our Holy Law tells us that all existence is pure joy such an ordeal could occur with such tiresome frequency on the Path?

Consecration and Purity with the mystical force fields held with vigilance is an excellent solution. It is the building up of the inertia over a period of time by not keeping this particular vigilance that permits the eventual decay that leads to a Dark Night of a Soul to occur.

You cannot ignore the mystical force fields nor can you avoid the usual practices that hold at bay the forces that will crush you. A License to Depart to release decaying forces, take command of spirits attracted to the energy of your circle and powerful banishing and invocations are going to change the course of your Path.

Would thou scream for the Secret Chiefs to give you the right path for your own particular will? Yes, call upon Them now before you make human error without guidance from on high.

Would thou pray to your Holy Guardian Angel to impart the wisdom of your True Will. Yes, invoke Thine Angel now; and lift yourself up before you begin to fall.

For one step upon our Path and Holy Law; and the universe will open its essence to you in anticipation of still another star to startle the soul with its chance to awaken its will.

Take yet another step and the inertia of matter itself will appear as a Dweller of the Threshold on your Path; and you find that unless you fight for your manifested purity; the universe will open up Jaws rather than its infinite possibility.

In another essay I touched upon how weary the aspirant can become; and yet in this I encourage a mighty battle to begin where the spirit of your enthusiasm is not dampened by the routine.

For those whose purity is vigilant the waves of energy will wash you in the fountain of the wine of initiation where insights are constant; and such routine can never become the awaking of robotics of unsavory depressions but a constant bathing in the spirit of the existence that is joy; and those sorrows are but shadows.

Love is the law, love under will

Adoration Unto Nuit

O my beloved Goddess, I love Thee. I am the winged secret flame unto Thee.
Bend Upon thy servant and impart Thy kisses
I am always Unto Thee, Nuit. Let me awaken to Thy ecstasy; that I might know the omnipresence of your Body.
Let the world be regenerated; for I love you Nuit, my beloved Goddess!


 

Creation of Universes

Written by David Bersson

(The pragmatic use of 0=2)

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

The power of God; the only power worth having...

I will in this article cover the processes of creating a completely new universe. Firstly, the process as already laid out elsewhere.

Second, the magical link to the new universe; having been created by this process takes a new step. This step is the creation of the magical link of energy from the created universe into the being of the magician who has created it. This is not an immediate power source for magick whereas the universe needs time to mature. Yet, as it matures it radiates just that amount of energy that revives and revitalizes you. In fact; any time during its continued maturity you can enter it and observe it first hand.

The universe Itself will call you; and its exchange of energy calls you to duty. For as you partake of the essence of the new universe; it needs certain materials that are within you and the essences to manifest it properly so you can live in this universe anywhere. Since you are this universe; being the pure consciousness of this universe you grow as It grows; and meanwhile you can use the excessive energies that it gives you exciting new magical powers.

We are actually using a doorway that cannot be opened without the specialized magical word; and of course, once again this also will partake of the essence of the universe as it develops so choose carefully. If you forget this word; it will be a long time before you enter it; being when your physical body has died; and the continued process awakens you towards it Space beyond Space that you created originally.

While your physical body is alive; and you have direct control of the elements with the Plane of Disks it is proper to use this formula over and over again; creating new universes and doors with daily practices.

The advantage of this is more sources of energy; and of course more doors to open after the physical body has ceased to live on this plane. Of course, the energy itself keeps the body young and energetic for an unusually long period of time but I have no proof that you will be immortal. Your immortality on this plane may or may not relevant later on as the experiment continues; yet with the first door you have most certainly geared your being toward a unique life span.

This not only follows the formula for 0=2 but you are dividing yourself, as it were, for loves sake for the chance of union following a very complex magical formula from the Book of the Law.

Should this formula be done as a group ritual? This is uncharted territory; and I encourage anyone to adhere to the method science with this. It might speed up the process somewhat; or who can tell? It might slow it down so you will not be reach forth long, long, after the group has ceased to exist.

I invite all to work this formula; and further develop a brand of magick that should not be made completely secret.

Now, all this background for this formula should give the daring magician a real challenge; and others who attempt should immediately report unusual activity to myself so that we like scientists compare data; and even measure the method so that it can be explained, developed and awakened as a massive experiment as the years progress.

Transmission and Empowerment

written by David Bersson

 Bennu Bird

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law

The perceptions of Transmission and Empowerment have been brought up whereas they exist both in the eastern mystical systems as well as the western esoteric system. In the western system, the folklore of the magician who gives a magical power to the disciple is the same folklore where the Tibetan or Indian Guru transmits the healing power to the chela. The folklore; of course, has a basis in reality; and this essay will touch upon that reality.

Recently, I received a letter from a young man who explained he wanted to skip all the theory; and simply pay outright fees to get magical powers. He went on to explain that he wrote a man he called a "white mystic" who scolded him informing him that anyone who does this is a charlatan and to concentrate on learning his true will. I quickly informed him who this person was when I found out he was an occultist who I knew; and his ego and arrogance could of only damaged the boy's sense of reality and creativity. I then spent several letters giving him address, names and people who he could consult about this; and wished him well on his path. I made it clear that unless he chose the Path I was on; no such equation of apprenticeship would ever be possible. No amount of fees for such empowerment is worth mingling my aura with such a young and naive aspirant who didn't really seem to be interested in the Great Work and the Law of Θελημα. I therefore sent him on his way; and gave him the name of two Hoodoo Priestess in the French Quarter in New Orleans who would be happy to take his money for his experiment with Empowerment and Transmission. Since he specified magical powers the Tibetan or Indian Empowerment wouldn't be racy enough for his blood who normally give you a few days healing power at best; and I was amused that he was so romantic about magick. Of course those two people may not be there anymore; but in the French Quarter in New Orleans has all sorts of sorcerers and Hoodoo Priestesses who can be found easily; at least when I lived in the area.

Empowerment or Transmission is a real magical formula; and it can be bought for money. Such magicians who include this in there curriculum have advanced to Adept level; and hold much magical force. Yet, this is the ecological manifestations of Adepts who have mistaken this glamor for the Great Work. Technically, this is not the Great Work; or the Path of Initiation. Such magicians become Adept and rise as far as Adept; and no doubt being Adept understand what the Master is; but these methods can be time consuming and an energy waste; and therefore these type of Adepts do not become a true Master. Since the magical force which they impart is real; you cannot call them a charlatan unless you are taking a black brother attitude; and trying to tell everyone that theirs is only one Path. On the contrary, they are indeed a star upon there own course; and we can only pause to observe on occasion to see if success is truly there proof. Who knows on what a flower will bloom?

Of course, there are charlatans in the occult world; and such aspirants who desire the magical powers will be taking chances. We can only send them on there way and wish them well as an aspirant who has chosen another Path than ours. After all, trying to convert anyone to our Path would only repeat the old errors; and I want aspirants who want what we want and are willing to will toward it. I have; knowing these methods as an Initiate have experimented with it from time to time; and have extended magical energy to pupils. The result have always been very real; and there were no financial considerations involved. My very own Superior, in Nashville -- noting that I was suffering intensely from a magical attack gave me some of his strength magically; which not only strengthened my aura but grew over the years.

Nor would I be too hasty to condemn these magicians who have actually found a way to make money and even an income from magical powers; only pausing to warn you that the time involved with the process is going to hinder you on one plane or another.

Yet for those who truly aspire to both magical powers and Initiation Our way would make you the source of the volition; and not an aspirant dependent on their energy and powers from others.

In addition, powers that cannot be transmitted appear depending on the karmic and genetic makeup of the individual which would not occur with those type of magicians who have gained from others; rather than have gained for themselves.

Love is the law, love under will
