Although this formula directly corresponds to the Grade of Practicus being 3° = 8▫; I openly give it to all students as useful for preliminaries with the study of Kabbalah. Although Gematria is not used in this article; you could enhance its technique by applying it quite easily.
This formula of three letters as an exercise of meditation on Lurk, Withdraw and upon them I shall now elaborate on in this article having found the formula an excellent exercise with kabbalah; and excellent meditation generally. You can make it all as complex as you want it; following many, many more correspondences in Liber 777 using the Book of the Law as your guide the directions useful for this Aeon. We have used three letter words in English, Hebrew, Greek, Armenian, and French having been exposed to them with experiments with kabbalah in the past. Yet I will simplify the matter here by using only the Hebrew alphabet as the simplest way to start; having so much more available with kabbalahistic correspondences than the other tongues.
Let firstly make IAO our first example where I is י and corresponds to Lurk, and A is א and corresponds with Withdraw; and O is ע, corresponding to upon them. Now I is the primal child lurking in the womb of its mother, and א is the fool; or the young man; and O is ע the devil where knowledge of good and evil brings him to attack the world with his experience. In this sense; we have shown that IAO is a formula of birth, growth and awareness -- being the conquering of life itself by adherence to the natural growth of the Child.
Second, lets use the same formula with PAN...
(Although in this essay I'm using Hebrew rather than Greek you'll find many insights with this formula in other tongues. For instance, the Armenian tongue is another series of pleasant surprises where common three letter words like հպյ (Ho + Peh + Yi) will yield much insight with this formula.)
...we have P which is פ; which corresponds to Lurk; and we have A which corresponds to א to withdraw; and we have N which is נ corresponding to upon them.
פ is the number of Lurking, how? A moments meditation tells this is the mouth being the spoken words of the war plan and this is the strategic war maneuvers planned for the time of attack being the war plans themselves worked out in secrecy by the war councils. A is א being the fool; and one possible interpretation is the trial war games that work out the plan; so that introspection can occur on the workability of the plans. They are of course fools; in one sense playing the game of war were they shoot
paint pellets at each instead of engaging in real war. In still another sense; א is Ox
and plowing; and entire idea is planting the seeds properly by practicing the usual scout reconnaissance; and movement by acting out the entire war.
Of course, N being נ which corresponds to ♏; and of course the death that is "upon them" in the formula.
A possible meditation that might come to light from such a particular correspondence would be calling the entire formula of Pan's method of doing battle clustering to exalt Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
As an example of genocide used as a war maneuver we use the formula DIE as our final example of this formula in this article. I'm sure the magician will enjoy the exercise with more three letter words. Now D is ד being Lurk; and I is י being Withdraw; and E is ע being upon them. Now D is ד which is a letter of ♀ and means door. The D corresponds to the Nazi party; and its love for its race and culture-- the plans of Hitler playing upon the love of self as a superior race. Then we move into Withdraw corresponding to י meaning the Hand indicating the means of action to accomplish the comradeship of the new philosophy which means hidden plans of exterminating the Jews; as Hitler in this case attempted. Of course, the final letter E makes perfect sense in the formula since ע is the Devil; and what could be more devilish than an attack (upon them) than wiping out what is considered in the Eye of the Nazi Party and their leader than to try to wipe out all the Jews. We see that DIE is therefore the kabbalahistic war formula of the Nazis.
I encourage all to create formulas such as the above directly from the Book of the Law; rather than the Bible or the Torah as a method to unlock its secrets; and to further align oneself to the new Aeon.
It should be now explained properly why such sensationalism of abstraction should of captured such an important stage in the onward march upon our sometimes thorny Path.
Well, you could not of thought this way had you not weighed what you needed; having searched for this intangible; twisting through corridors, banged on mystic doors, unlocked chests of pure light, and having done what you've done you find yourself surprised and shocked that of the hours upon hours of kabbalahistic manipulation a vital insight on your Path has made you realize that the Doorway of Higher Initiation has at last begun to slowly open; and a higher state of consciousness is beginning to dawn upon the flaming brow of your manifested Neshamah.
Suddenly, the important keys are realized -- and you will definitely distinguish them beyond a shadow of a doubt. Certain names, numbers, and insights will be extremely important only to you. Having done this often; you are more in a position to receive Neshamah having stretched, searched, researched, deliberated and found the links of correspondence that otherwise would of eluded you. You eventually become ready to speak in the same language that such an intuitive conglomeration of abstraction has directed you; and believe me you, if you are overshadowed it is ALL training for communication with the Divine. Yet while you are dancing with numbers and formula; someone else may very well be directing you toward the Bridal Chamber of the Divine. For by taking the direction you have taken with kabbalahistic formula you unknowingly have taught yourself the language of your Spiritual Guide.
