INITIATION
|
|
|
|
|
|
The chakras are wombs, wombs of the human body, wombs shared
|
|
by male and female alike. When congress is enacted with the Old Ones,
|
|
their seed may fall upon any one of these vortexes. The chakra within
|
|
which they are absorbed is dependent upon the type of rite and the
|
|
focus of attention of the magickan. The various effects -- powers --
|
|
which each fertilization gives is dependent, also, upon which chakra
|
|
it falls. Therefore, in any one particular ritual, it is possible to
|
|
receive various types of initiations by focusing upon different
|
|
resting places for the power or powers involved.
|
|
|
|
The seed grows, slowly or quickly, depending upon the resist-
|
|
ance encountered within. It may grow in the dark, and suddenly be
|
|
perceived full-grown. Initiation is the Seed and the full grown
|
|
Realization. Initiation is the result of all such growth.
|
|
|
|
Touch the Seed, and you touch the Power Realized.
|
|
|
|
THEORY:
|
|
|
|
The Mystery of Kurgasiax is the mystery of the Wheel. The I is
|
|
at the center, the edges (boundary) of the Wheel are the edges of
|
|
Mystery; the area outside of it is the Unknown. The way in which it
|
|
differs from its dayside Wheel of Fortune is hidden in the relation-
|
|
ship of Universe A to Universe B.
|
|
|
|
In order to learn/grow, one must commune with the edges of the
|
|
Wheel. This is the realm of Mystery, where we enlarge ourselves
|
|
through experiences with that outside ourselves. The keys for
|
|
stability in this unstable place, are Mercy and Strength -- Geburah
|
|
and Chesed -- the first emanations below the Abyss (Seperation).
|
|
|
|
Strength borne of anger is unstable in itself. Mercy without
|
|
the action borne of strength, is weak. The translation of energy from
|
|
Geburah to Chesed manifests as the magickal Weapons of the magickan
|
|
become the magickal Tools, the essential Tools of the Adept.
|
|
|
|
What is less obvious is the importance of Mercy (which can be
|
|
a powerful mantra!). The act of doing something anyway. It is an
|
|
"irrational" act--a method of controlling one's universe. One act's
|
|
"in spite of". One forgives. By creating this controlled act, one
|
|
draws upon the power of creation, the power of the Word. You are no
|
|
longer reacting blindly to the stimuli of your environment; you are
|
|
creating your own.
|
|
|
|
The mechanistic cause <-> effect process of the multiverse has
|
|
no mercy. It is up to us to create it. Consider how important that
|
|
choice is.
|
|
|
|
Geburah-strict judgement is an equalizing, knee-jerk reaction
|
|
to situations. Within it there is no choice. Fairness and equality
|
|
are not the highest truth--but it is the truth by which our country is
|
|
run. Laws must exist where there is no love to temper action. Mercy
|
|
is a product of love. Mercy allows for choice. The Weapons becone the
|
|
Tools--tools to use at Will. The choice to act anyway.
|
|
|
|
PRACTICE:
|
|
|
|
The practical application of Kurgasiax is revealed within the
|
|
sigil itself. Here we find a glyph for the magickal working involved.
|
|
The horned circle with the x within represents the earth, our Wheel.
|
|
Outside the earth lie the Stars, the stars and the magnetic earth is
|
|
our point of departure from enforced response, into freedom. Knowing
|
|
the Stars allows that freedom. And how do we escape earth's endless
|
|
chain of cause <-> effect?
|
|
|
|
The Key exists in the relationship of macrocosm to microcosm.
|
|
We must look inside ourselves first. The Stars exist inside of us.
|
|
They are accessed through the Sahasrara Chakra, that center at the top
|
|
of the head. It is here that the "Kalas of the Stars" rain down. It
|
|
is here that we find our Stars and begin our journey. When the Star is
|
|
found within, you are at the beginning of the path. The Star within
|
|
sets up a sympathetic vibration with the Star outside, in the night
|
|
sky. That sympathetic vibration is the path which leads you out of
|
|
yourself, and into freedom.
|
|
|
|
What we have, finally, is a path up the right-hand side of the
|
|
Tree: From Malkuth to Netzach, through the Wheel to Chesed, through
|
|
the Hierophant to Chokmah, the realm of Stars. It is a path well worth
|
|
travelling.
