Abra Melin the Mage

[Estariol]

Again with reference to the A.A. syllabus: The early slopes of the mystic mountain abnegius lead to the HGA ordeal. On succeeding in this ordeal the real climb towards enlightenment commences.

An analogy in eastern yogic practice could perhaps be that once the yogi achieves Samadhi it needs to be improved and progressed in some manner by further meditations.

I agree with , Jedi , in that each ordeal or initiation attaining to the K&C of the HGA, is ( if I read him right ) , just another stage or piece of the puzzle of the ongoing process. In that when first real contact and merger is made with the HGA , it only initiates one into the first Kindergarten stages of a multilayered process requiring the traversing onwards thru many successive sublevels .

But although one has crossed the abyss at this stage and realized the reality of being a Truly Infinite being, Choronzon has not been subdued as yet from further influence towards meglomaniac tendences. And alot of people think that just because the have arrived at this stage and degree of development that they have made the grade and all that is required after this is routine maintenance and a commitment to teach or devote to the mystical path entirely. But there are many many more Dark Nights of The Soul, and crossing expanded levels of the Abyss ( which one didnt have the capacity to be cognizant of the first time ) , which now that one's consciousness has expanded more layers are revealed and it becomes clear the The Dweller On The Threshold has not been contained and begins manifesting in subtle ways, that if one is not alert can decieve and imply more srtucture, form and significance to one's own accomplishments , and then theres trouble.

But in the later stages of ascending thru the sublevels of the experience the K&C of the HGA cognizant awareness, the The Dweller can be absorbed and transmuted allowing it , thru the agency of Higher Light vibrations and frequencies to become part of the Shadow which has no negative conotations and all judgements are left behind and is merged into the Light which is not a Light , and at the same time represents undifferentiated creator/destroyer Source which inturn lends to the experience of " A Peace That Knows No Opposite". And to this end , I think was at the core of Abramelins teachings and operations. Getting there by circuitous route of the operations in question........

Incidently...I found the copy I had , put it in my van to take with me to work to study, and it rained and soaked the book , so now its been in the process of me carefully drying it out without ruining it . I promissed Mohandas I would go back thru it and work the operations again , 10 yrs later than the last time . I'm sure reveal more than it did last time because of where I'm at today. Then again, I might find it all real boring. But as soon as it dries out I'm going to launch back into it and see what happens. And I'll give a report of the experiences. And if I get stuck on anything I'll come here for clarification or at least a slant that I may not be seeing as I work into it...

Should be fun......

Blessings ....Mal'ak

The idea that abramelin sequence can be employed for crossing of the abyss work; rather then HGA contact at tipharet and also expression of magickal power at geburah, is interesting.

However I'm not sure I can agree. By following the middle pillar, certainly one can link from tipharet up to kether. However abramelin sequence involves development of 'magickal powers through controling 'demons', surely this relates more to the side pillars of the tree and therefore a slower more magick oriented progress rather then one of pure mysticism.

Hey Mal'ak,
Power to you, my brother. I have my copy in the van at the moment also but I haven't had much extra time to go through it. I look forward to hearing about your workings....
Mohandas.

My temple is still normalising from my last operation, this usually takes a few days, also I regretably do not have a 'van', it is still warm enough to read in Bute Park
