An attempt to unlock the Book of the Law

An attempt to unlock the Book of the Law

Many have tried, many more will try, every such effort is a sort of "key" because diversifying of one's interpretation...

I had considered recently altering the content of my Work dramatically, and totally abolishing this aspect of the project that is the Individuate Church. ultimately, I decided there's enough useful information here to avoid scrapping the project:

Archangel Idiotis Unlocks the Book of the Law

certain complimentary aspects of the website are missing, in connection to the above - in particular, the free form role playing section of the website, the novel Eschillion Key, and the mythology section of the website. But also the poetry section of the website, to a lesser extent.

anyhow, I consider this entertaining enough to the thelemic community to be worth a look-see, and would be interested in any comments/suggestions/clarifications.

"The Key"

Are you certain that you're not just trying to fit The Key to your desire to be The Magickal Child?

KalithAlur's picture

certain?

of course not.

but I have no such desire, nor, in point of fact, any belief I am such a person.

What I'm actually doing is screwing around, at this point. putting together material which, regardless of "accuracy," seems to me, at the very least, interesting poetically.

many of the things I've done suggesting I might be some kind of "magical child" preceeded even a knowledge of Crowley himself.

for instance, the Kali connection - I created a fictional character practicing a Kalisian system of magic & named the character "Kalith Alur," a decidedly Kalisian name, with no knowledge of Kali's existence, let alone her connection to Crowley - was very young and had yet to even study Hinduism in high school (was in middle school).

My first memory of actually encountering more than just the word "Hinduism" in school concerns, I think in 10th grade or so, studying a single chapter on Hinduism in history class - I do not recall encountering the name "Kali" until I began studying tantra, shortly after I graduated from high school - I felt a certain affinity, possibly from having free formed a Kalisian character, and began inserting references to Kali in the early parts of Eschillion Key.

the Eddy Saayman thing - I'm fairly sure I created the character "Simon Sade" before ever encountering the obscure name Eddy Saayman, probably also before I encountered Crowley - I was not willing to study the likes of Crowley in high school, when I began writing Eschillion Key, although I was a fan of Robert Anton Wilson and this did eventually lead me to study him after I left high school. "Eschillion Key" is a book with various symbolic references to Crowley I didn't notice until a voice of some kind pointed them out to me, & the book sort of fell into place. I suddenly knew how to arrange the chapters, understood the allegory to the bible and the Antichrist figure, & Revelations, & never had any intention of writing any such allegory.

As far as I'm concerned, the material I have created is interesting enough to be published, but it would be silly of me to make any assumptions concerning what any of it actually means.

Lucifer's picture

I kinda' thought.

(though it doesn't matter what I think)

such an individual would be able to demonstrate he was who he said he was by not only solving the code and achieving a stage as big as the world to announce it (when and how he pleases) but have also achieved the Gravity of a Body that necessitates the world bow to him to have achieved such a Pinnacle of Power in the first place.

I'm sure when it's let off- and the answer to such a thing is so unmistakeably solved, it will be (perhaps), one of the single-most, Loudest things ever roared by any Thelemic Person to date (including every single word ever uttered by The Master Therion)

One greater than Therion has, perhaps, yet to come.

And when he does, I think it will be so goddamn unmistakeable. That there will be no one who could stop him from doing whatever the fuck he wanted on the face of this goddamn planet.

He will have no Ninth Degree Superiors.

He will be able to overturn Anything, and Everything in the way of his opposition.

It would be as if there is no one who could oppose him, or His Will.

if a man can be opposed, he isn't HIM.

(these are just my personal opinions on the matter however- so take it with a grain of salt and/or the blood of his future opposition- should anyone be so foolish to even try)

"Worship me or die" will be his Eternal maxim.

The Law of Conquest, is it

The Law of Conquest, is it not?

EDIT:

the weak being doomed to die, or but to serve him.

I never imagined this guy as a middle-class donkey being told what to do by complete dolts at some workplace. (i.e. taking order From ANYONE)

And I hope the other 2,000 of his self-proclaimed heirs (who live a middle-class lifestyle) are not offended by those words.

then again...

"Strike hard and low!"

and I don't really mind.

EDIT number 2:

also, Being a King he may disguise himself as a Dolt or a Beggar as much as he likes.

So it is possible, hypothetically, that you may look upon him and think he's nothing special- or just an ordinary jack.

And I think that would be right.

Any person going around saying they're "The King of The Kings" or "The God of The Gods" will have to prove it.

And I don't think anyone who says such a thing should do a thing like that unless they've already achieved for themselves a way to eradicate the opposition.

To do so would be a weak move on his part, and invite destruction.

And hopefully this King of the Kings, this God of the Gods is so goddamn skilled in The Art of War he can lead battalions upon battalions to avenge himself upon the world.

(then again; this could all just be what I believe would be who he is- what would make The Best Leader Known To Man on This Earth)

but I could be wrong: perhaps he is an elderly gentleman in a rehabilitation center taking medication for ulcers and so it is that everything he draws on a piece of paper at arts and crafts class is indeed everything that unfolds on our world.

Which would make him more of a humble guy and less of a war-monger.

You never know.

KalithAlur's picture

yes, wel...

have not thousands upon thousands claimed to be such a person?

or at least a whole lot of people?

"the weak being doomed to die, or but to serve him."

doesn't sound like anybody I'd like to meet, or to exist at all.

"And hopefully this King of the Kings,"

my *opinion is no such person exists, that no "individual consciousness"
is suited to be a king

On Kings & Child-heirs etc...

93 KalithAlur,

I think that Lucifer has a dramatic, romantic ideal that carries emotional conviction for him. I dont see anyone like that ever arising nor would I particularly look forward to such a thing happen. As Ive said in the Magickal Child thread, the people who claim to be the child or heir are usually the most mentally unstable, the biggest megalomaniacs, etc. I cant even imagine how the 'King of Kings' would even begin to 'prove' his identity as such - it doesn't seem like a logical or empirical claim (more like one of faith...)

Either way, I cant see how a King like Lucifer mentions would say 'serve me or die.' Such a King wouldn't even be a Thelemite (threats are unbecoming of those in power). A real Child-King would say 'serve yourselves and your own Wills or suffer.' If such a person were to arise, I would imagine it would be in a democratic-republic situation: many people would see a certain person as their spokesperson/ideal and consequently give him/her notoreity.

"the weak being doomed to

"the weak being doomed to die, or but to serve him."- Me

"doesn't sound like anybody I'd like to meet, or to exist at all."- KalithAur

which is why I called him (my, as IAO says it, 'Ideal') of someone who possesses the kind of power to assume an entire world for himself: and seeing to the idea that I agree with you about this, I would find him to be The Most Regrettable Person To Ever Live on the face of this goddamn planet.

And I believe such a person would not be so deceived, so he would see himself for who he really was Every, Single, Second that he existed- never able to escape it, nor trying to do so.
------------------------------

IAO, like usual- casts some interesting points on these discussions. I guess I never realized how Romantic I perceived him to be; I just never always thought such a lover- perhaps The Greatest Lover wouldn't not be in ways beyond himself.

that's usually why I extol him to such, exaggerated, perhaps even Beyond Believable degrees.

I just figured, if we were doing that- like he does- we'd probably BE him (or like unto him)

He does think he's The Gods of Gods, doesn't he?

how could one exist with such power, I argue, without knowing that there is perhaps- for himself- no equal or superior to himself?

such a realization of limited power amongst his peers must be so easy for him to recognize- and his Potential, could he possibly fear it/himself?

who is to say?

I think we find these types of conversations more entertaining to us, philosophically, than we find them practical. But there practical tools in the exchanges between us, and we find knowledge in The Exchange.

our ideas, hitting each other- agreeing, or disagreeing, passively acknowledging, or actively praising the other: it's as if the words we speak are living things ("Thoughts Are Things"- Crow) and we're realizing that as we speak; and we understand what it's like to be Aware.

is this knowledge "dangerous?"

King of Kings and ruling others

93,

A King - even 'King of Kings' - would most likely be "against the people." People would see the Change he or she wished to bring as catastrophic. But thats what Thelema is about: overcoming the catastrophe of change to embrace the joy of change. But that being said the 'God of Gods' would most certainly come to bring people to the 'Next Step' - the conscious affirmation of their own Divinity. 'To rule' in this sense would be to guide, be an example, and to clear the way... not to impose on others from without.

In the end, success is our proof. It may be entertaining philosophically, as Lucifer says, but I fail to see what we gain by deliberating over it... We certainly dont get a King of Kings (just a set of arbitrary assumptions about him/her). In the end Id just like to do my Will and hope that others do the same.

"But that being said the 'God

"But that being said the 'God of Gods' would most certainly come to bring people to the 'Next Step' - the conscious affirmation of their own Divinity."

exactly what I thought too.

But perhaps it is best to not tell all the slaves who are building your empire that they are building your Future Kingdom?

where the act of telling them, "you're building this FOR ME" would cause more than a few dissatisfied customers/slaves to rebel.

"slaves shall serve"

Perhaps it is Vital for them NOT to know, not to see, not to become aware of who's Kingdom they proclaim?

And that the illusion of their Liberty (which they are "working for") should be maintained in such wise?

ARBEIT MACHT FREI!

Lucifer
about The Eye

King or Egomaniac?

93,

Then thats not a King. Thats just a guy with a bloated ego. 'For me?' What are you even talking about?

"In my ideal state everyone is respected for what he is. There will always be slaves, and the slave is to be defined as he who acquiesces in being a slave" (Confessions, ch.60). Therefore slaves in Thelema are not physical servants but rather those who have slavish spirits: those who cannot accept the Law of Thelema because of fear of revealing their own natures, fear of the great freedom allowed, and fear of the great responsibility needed to do only one's Will. (from this essay on politics)

The notion that you would support the use of Nazi phrases to enslave others to build something for yourself has nothing to do with Thelema, Kings, or anything. It has to do with your fascist fantasies.

meanwhile,

Eschillion Key, which I mentioned, has been released in pdf format:

http://individuatechurch.50webs.com/EschillionKey/EschillionKey.html

Book II (it is a two part bible) shall be released tomorrow,

unless I fall asleep or something.

I dont see why the Magickal

I dont see why the Magickal Heir of Crowley would have to be such a ridiculous person. He would be mortal like anyone else, and his conquering of the world to his will could easily go un-noticed by the vast majority, since someone with that kind of power would be able to act behind the scenes, nobody would recognize which changes were caused by his Will since they would all be subservient to it.

The code in Liber AL conceals the formula of the new Aeons rituals and mysteries, showing exactly what is being replaced with what, and therefore leading to the revelation of how to replace it and showing how vastly different the new Aeons mysteries are from the old.

the Sirius Star System

I don't know who did it, but I suspect somebody is about to kill the whole planet.

The three stars of Sirius, one large, one slightly smaller, & one extremely small: on my chest/stomach, right shoulder, & right forearm, have appeared naturally on my body, I don't know why.

cosmic code

we recently bombed the moon to find water, a natural resource.

around 500,000 years ago, according to Babylonian mythology, the Anunaki killed all the humans by flooding the planet to take our resources.

preceding this event, Enki stirred up the peoples (through an ancient form of Discordianism) as a distraction from his plan to rescue as many humans as he could. The other deities bound him by oath, in an attempt to prevent his plans from going through.

When the Anunaki neared Earth, weather patterns became irregular: tidal waves, a disruption in sun spot activity, pre show flooding. Some of these things are happening right now. Between 2010 & 2012, an extremely large sun spot storm is supposed to occur.

& Global warming is triggering a global flood.

We recently discovered a monolith on the surface of a moon of Mars, almost identical in appearance to the one seen on screen in Kubric's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
