We are dealing with a subject which is considerably more complex
|
|
to discuss than any which we heretofore had. It is the Fifth
|
|
Element -- Ether or Akasha. The ancients did not include this and
|
|
we have to look to the Alchemists for whatever we are able to
|
|
give out regarding it. As soon as we reach this Fifth Element, we
|
|
have difficulty in understanding what they meant. We have no
|
|
prayer for the Fifth Element; but that there is a Fifth Element
|
|
is fairly obvious. This Element is half manifest, half concealed.
|
|
The Alchemists pay attention to five Elements and to the
|
|
manipulating of this Fifth Element of Ether. The Fifth Element
|
|
synthesizes the Four Elements and yet although a synthesis is an
|
|
Element by itself, this Fifth Element is a duality.
|
|
|
|
We will use the truncated pyramid. A truncated pyramid is one
|
|
whose vertex is cut off by a plane usually parallel to the base.
|
|
(The vertex of a pyrmid is the point of intersection of the
|
|
generating lines or boundary planes respectively.) Each side of
|
|
the truncated pyramid is considered to be one of the elements,
|
|
Earth, Air, Fire and Water. The base is OLAHM (the World). The
|
|
top is ALEPH TAU -- the Alpha and Omega. Spirit, Essence, and
|
|
being directly involved here as the Fifth Element.
|
|
|
|
Imagine after thoroughly relaxing that you have built up a huge
|
|
pyramid. See that Pyramid built up with all the imagination you
|
|
have. You have to build up that Pyramid with the truncated top,
|
|
and see yourself standing at the top. The East side of the
|
|
Pyramid is Yellow in colour, the South is Red, the West is Blue,
|
|
and the North is Black. Expand your consciousness. Here, however,
|
|
we approach a different concept, not Elemental, but Spiritual. Up
|
|
to now we have dealt with the elemental side, the Green Ray. That
|
|
was to strengthen the interior basis of your nature, so that now
|
|
it will have something interior to work on. Enlarge your body to
|
|
fill infinite Space so the forces of God can pour through you.
|
|
|
|
Inasmuch as there are some of you able to do this Ritual twice a
|
|
day, I am going to give you variations of this in two ways
|
|
because I do not want it mixed up with other work -- not even the
|
|
Middle Pillar. Simply do this one thing. Of course you do the
|
|
relaxation. It is always a part of your formula and routine.
|
|
|
|
1. Perform the Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram.
|
|
|
|
2. Perform the Greater Invoking Pentagram Ritual of Spirit,
|
|
active and passive, then retire and face East.
|
|
|
|
3. Trace the Sign of Aquarius with your hand outstretched, and
|
|
vibrate the appropriate divine Names I gave you for the Element
|
|
of Air:
|
|
|
|
SHADDAI EL CHAI
|
|
RAPHAEL
|
|
CHASSAN
|
|
|
|
Stand still and recite the prayer of Air, and at the same time
|
|
imagine that the Sylphs are there and pouring through you:
|
|
|
|
Holy art Thou, Lord of the Air,
|
|
Who has created the Firmament.
|
|
SHADDAI EL CHAI.
|
|
Almighty and everlasting, ever-living be Thy Name
|
|
Ever-magnified in the Life of all.
|
|
We praise and we bless Thee in the changeless empire
|
|
of created Light;
|
|
And we aspire without cessation unto Thy Imperishable
|
|
and Immutable Brilliance. Amen.
|
|
|
|
4. Face South and trace the Sign of Leo. Then vibrate the
|
|
appropriate divine Names of Fire:
|
|
|
|
YOD-HEH-VAV-HEH TZAVOOS
|
|
MICHAEL
|
|
ARAL
|
|
|
|
Stand still and recite the prayer of Fire, and at the same time
|
|
imagine that the Salamanders are there and pouring through you:
|
|
|
|
Holy art Thou, Lord of the Fire,
|
|
Wherein Thou hast shown forth the Throne of Thy Glory.
|
|
YOD-HEH-VAV-HEH TZAVOOS.
|
|
Leader of Armies is Thy Holy Name.
|
|
O, Thou Flashing Fire, Thou illuminest all things
|
|
With Thy insupportable Refulgence
|
|
Whence flow the ceaseless streams of Splendour
|
|
Which nourisheth Thine Infinite Spirit.
|
|
Help us, Thy children, whom Thou hast loved
|
|
Since the birth of the Ages of Time. Amen.
|
|
|
|
5. Face West and trace the Sign of Scorpio. Then vibrate the
|
|
appropraite divine Names of Water:
|
|
|
|
ELOHIM TZAVOOS
|
|
GABRIEL
|
|
TALIHAD
|
|
|
|
Stand still and recite the prayer of Water, and at the same time
|
|
imagine that the Undines are there and pouring through you:
|
|
|
|
Holy art Thou, Lord of the Mighty Waters
|
|
Whereon Thy Spirit moved in the Beginning
|
|
ELOHIM TZAVOSS
|
|
Glory be unto Thee RUACH ELOHIM
|
|
Whose Spirit hovered over the Great Waters of Creation.
|
|
O, Depth, O inscrutable Depth, which exhalest unto
|
|
the height:
|
|
Lead Thou us into the true Life, through sacrifice,
|
|
through Love,
|
|
So that one day we may be found worthy to offer Thee,
|
|
The Water, the Blood and the Tears, for the remission
|
|
of sins. Amen.
|
|
|
|
6. Face North and trace the Sign of Taurus. Then vibrate the
|
|
appropriate divine Names of Earth:
|
|
|
|
ADONAI HA-ARETZ
|
|
AURIEL
|
|
PHORLAKH
|
|
|
|
Stand still and recite the prayer of Earth, and at the same time
|
|
imagine that the Gnomes are there and pouring through you:
|
|
|
|
Holy art Thou, Lord of the Earth,
|
|
Which Thou hast made for Thy footstool.
|
|
ADONAI HA-ARETZ, ADONAI MELEKH.
|
|
Unto Thee be the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory.
|
|
MALKUTH-GEBURAH-GEDULAH. Amen.
|
|
|
|
The Rose of Sharon, and the Lily of the Valley.
|
|
O Thou Who hidest beneath the Earth,
|
|
in the Valley of Gems.
|
|
The marvelous seed of the Stars.
|
|
Live, reign, and be Thou the eternal Dispenser of
|
|
Thy treasures,
|
|
Whereof Thou hast made us the wardens. Amen.
|
|
|
|
7. Return to the centre of the Temple where you are sitting, and
|
|
relax forthwith in the completest way possible.
|
|
|
|
8. Build up the Pyramid
|
|
|
|
East side of Pyramid YELLOW
|
|
South " " RED
|
|
West " " BLUE
|
|
North " " BLACK
|
|
Base " " BLACK
|
|
Truncated TOP of Pyramid will be WHITE.
|
|
|
|
9. Then imagine that you are standing on the top of the Pyramid.
|
|
You are a vast figure of enormous size perched on an equally
|
|
large Pyramid, and feel that you are standing on that truncated
|
|
peak.
|
|
|
|
10. Then vibrate the Names:
|
|
|
|
JEHESHUAH (or HOOR-PAAR-KRAAT)
|
|
JEHOVASHAH (or RA-HOOR-KHUIT)
|
|
|
|
and whilst vibrating the Names, feel yourself being bathed with
|
|
Light, and then that power is coming through from every part of
|
|
space, making you glow with Light.
|
|
|
|
11. Get off the Pyramid. Wait of course on top, and when you get
|
|
the impulse to do so, get down. This is a test. I am not telling
|
|
you what side. You go down to the bottom of the inside of the
|
|
Pyramid, and remember I am not telling you what side you go into
|
|
the Pyramid, or what side you go out.
|
|
|
|
12. Inside the Pyramid you vibrate once more the Divine Names:
|
|
|
|
JEHSHUAH (or HOOR-PAAR-KRAAT)
|
|
JEHOVASHAH (or RA-HOOR-KHUIT)
|
|
|
|
and then four other additional Names. They are four words of five
|
|
letters each:
|
|
|
|
EXARP (pronounced X - R -Pay)
|
|
HCOMA ( " Hay - Co - Mah)
|
|
NANTA ( " En - En - Tah)
|
|
BITOM ( " Bay - E - Toe - Em)
|
|
|
|
These are Enochian Spirit Names.
|
|
|
|
13. Then wait quietly inside. Do not try to make things happen or
|
|
formulate things in your imagination. If you get ideas, feelings,
|
|
or any other concepts, note it, because you are going to record
|
|
it always in your own notebook. Wait there quietly for some while
|
|
until you feel the Meditation has come to the end.
|
|
|
|
14. Then ascend once more to the top of the Pyramid and feel
|
|
yourself once more bathed with Light. Then as you stand on the
|
|
top of the Pyramid recite the Invocation:
|
|
|
|
15. JEHESHUAH, JEHOVASHAH (or HOOR-PAAR-KRAAT, RA-HOOR-
|
|
KHUIT).
|
|
I invoke ye, ye Angels of the Celestial Spheres whose
|
|
dwelling is in the Invisible.
|
|
Ye are the Guardians of the Gates of the Universe.
|
|
Be ye also the Guardians of the Inner Shrine.
|
|
Keep far removed the evil and the unbalanced.
|
|
Strengthen and inspire me so that I may
|
|
preserve unsullied
|
|
This abode of the Mysteries of the Eternal Gods
|
|
Let my Sphere be pure and holy, so I may enter in
|
|
and become a partaker
|
|
Of the secrets of the Light Divine. Amen.
|
|
|
|
16. Then when you feel you have enough, draw in and perform the
|
|
Banishing Ritual.
|
|
|
|
Note: You can lie or sit down, but when you do the exercise you
|
|
have to build up in your imagination yourself standing on this
|
|
Pyramid. Remember that your inner body is capable of extending,
|
|
so if you train yourself to grow in actial practice you do grow.
|
|
It is your own inner form in which consciousness lives so that it
|
|
expands. Sit down, and imagine that while you are sitting it is
|
|
still you or your form getting bigger and bigger.
|
|
|
|
Let me impress upon you again the great importance of this
|
|
exercise. Take a few minutes and record the result of your
|
|
Meditation in your note book as soon as you are finished. You are
|
|
put to a test in order to see how your own inner consciousness
|
|
will act, as to getting on the Pyramid and how you get off, and
|
|
what you see when you get in. This is a test and this is an
|
|
efficient way to find out your progress. It is not easy. It is a
|
|
fight to the finish.
