A funny thing happened to me on the way to studying Jewish Kabballah. I found the Garden of Eden - and it wasn't Jewish. It was English. Let me explain.
Words as esoteric constructions turn and twist and spin with near instantaneous rapidity. There are relationships of words to things. This is planned and constructed. Study Paracelsus with a fine tooth comb and find the reference to schools responsible for "naming things". They would later be called Pi On the Ears, or more profanely, "pioneers". Red is a past tense of a present condition, in that R is the woman and ED is the past tense. It defines a current condition unique to the female.
B is the profile of a pregnant woman, while ED is a past tense. Hence BED defines a place in time and space upon which a present condition happened, as it were.
The "garden" is a past tense of a present condition, just as sure as harden is a past tense of "hard". With N's as D's as T's transposing instantly, Guarded become Garden becomes "gartet", and what exactly does the garter belt protect?
Beware of "Past Tenses as Present Conditions". Notaricon breaks down the word into a series of letters that defines words or concepts, and "prepositions", "prefixes", and "suffixes", all add color to the word caste against the notaricon coding.
In the word RED, R defines the philosophical concept, while ED as past tense adds color to the philosophical concept. This should not be a secret to you who are of the West, for our great traditions of the Greeks is rich in this knowledge and study.
In Cratylus
we see a long discussion regarding the use of Letters to create words. Very high level discourse on Qaballa, when you break it down, and this Qaballa is all related to a Western science.
Soc. And when the teacher uses the name, whose work will he be using ?
Her. There again I am puzzled.
Soc. Cannot you at least say who gives us the names which we use ?
Her. Indeed I cannot.
Soc. Does not the law seem to you to give us them ?
Her. Yes, I suppose so.
Soc. Then the teacher, when he gives us a name, uses the work of the legislator ?
Her. I agree.
Soc. And is every man a legislator, or the skilled only ?
Her. The skilled only.
Soc. Then, Hermogenes, not every man is able to give a name, but only a maker of names ; and this is the legislator, who of all skilled artisans in the world is the rarest.
Her. True.
Socrates would later be quotes as saying,
"Soc. Then, Hermogenes, I should say that this giving of names can be no such light matter as you fancy, or the work of light or chance persons ; and Cratylus is right in saying that things have names by nature, and that not every man is an artificer of names, but he only who looks to the name which each thing by nature has, and is able to express the true forms of things in letters and syllables."
Qaballa. A Western Esoteric Tradition
The point to consider at this stage is this: Osirian systems within Western traditions played a tremendous role in the shaping of names with the express purpose to infuse basic truths about "the things to be named". There was a science and a position (the Legislator) responsible for the naming of things. Thus you will find links to "the thing to be named" which seek to draw upon a series of connections.
For instance, the word "Belle" means woman in French, and yet a "bell" has a shape from which a tone or ring may be generated. The relationship between the Belle and the Bell is the removal of the Letter E, yet each maintains their esoteric link via the imagery that each seeks to portray.
The Letter B is clearly feminine (shape of Pregnant woman), and a "Bell" is as the shape of the woman as viewed frontal or rear.
A philosophical discussion in the likes of Cratylus could prove beneficial, but alas, we do not live in such times. Letters have values in both number and descriptive essence. In its purest form, the Letter B is a B, while it will transmute into Be and Bee the same, and share value with R, which is ARE and BE the same.
To assume that there is not a rooted history in this manner of thinking, we again turn to Cratylus,
Between Letters and Names
Soc. A very simple matter. I may illustrate my meaning by the names of letters, which you know are not the same as the letters themselves with the exception of the four e, u, o (short), o (long); the names of the rest, whether vowels or consonants, are made up of other letters which we add to them; but so long as we introduce the meaning, and there can be no mistake, the name of the letter is quite correct. Take, for example, the letter beta- the addition of e, t, a, gives no offence, and does not prevent the whole name from having the value which the legislator intended- so well did he know how to give the letters names.
A key point to remember as you move forward is this: there are Letters and there are Names, and as the Cratylus dialogue points out, the names of Letters are not harmed by the addition of additional letters to the letters, hence creating a Name, but from a practical aspect relative to Qaballa, Names are not Letters, and hence Letters are not Names.
English maintains a high degree of Letters which are not names, even as they are words through the process of Notaricon.
ABC are perhaps simple examples of this principle of Letters being words, but not "names", while the Letter Y is clearly a question, or a quest, equally, in that it represent the Male as the I and the Female as the V. Yet is it not a name.
English is peculiar in this respect, and hence represents its own distinct and unique study relative to the Qaballistic Arts.
The names of Letters have unique esoteric properties that further link back into the core of the esoteric Construction, but they do not in and of themselves aid purely in the deconstruction of the Construct for their numbering systems are based on their own numbering systems.
For instance, BEIT has values of 25920 when set in English, which is the exact number of the Great Year as espoused by Plato, while BETA contains the roots of B and T, which returns you to the mathematical formula of 4*9 squared, which is the exact same number. In English, our Qaballa is very pure and direct.
In the word SOUL, we may remove the Letter U (you) to reveal the essence of the thing. You are a fragment of the Sun as SOL. This, again, is part of the science and craft of the Letters as hinted at through Cratylus, and in the English language we may find a vast treasure trove of knowledge and information if we are to study the Letters and words with an acute attention to detail.
"Soc. Very good. But you had better watch me and see that I do not play tricks with you. For on the same principle the son of a king is to be called a king. And whether the syllables of the name are the same or not the same, makes no difference, provided the meaning is retained; nor does the addition or subtraction of a letter make any difference so long as the essence of the thing remains in possession of the name and appears in it."
The operative clue was "appears in it". Names cannot be changed such as to remove the operative nature of the Thing.
Conclusion
This article, is, admittedly, not one of my finer efforts, but it has sought to inculcate the reality that Qaballa is well rooted in Western traditions, and the naming of "things" has traditionally been an Occult science. If you research deeper into the phenomena, you will learn that Hebrew as "kabballah" relative to language really does not take root in the West until the 1600's.
You cannot fit a round hole into a square peg, and what this article does is provides you with a little bit of insight into the Western traditions and roots of the Craft of Qaballa, and then intends to hint at this knowledge being imbedded into what would become English.
The concepts were clearly well rooted and established and it is naive to believe otherwise, regardless of the failure of the academic system to properly address the factors that contribute to the construction of words of a language.

The Esoteric Code of AUTUMN
I would like to start this article by sending out a tremendous thanks for all the support. The Illuminatus Observor continues to grow and has been over 1000 visitors per week for the past three weeks, and we missed by a total of 1 reaching the 1500 page views for the week mark, which would have been a milestone for this site. So to all of you from all over the world who have sent your emails and information, it has not gone un-noticed. The information is logged and saved, perhaps too complex for me to solve and write about, but of great curiousity regardless.
In addition, I would like to thank all of the Synchromystic authors who have been linking to some of my articles within your work. I do encourage all of you who enjoy this site to take some time and review some of the information provided by those authors in the Synchromystic genre located on the tool bar to the right.
Now without further adeiu.
The Esoteric Code of AUTUMN
There is something absolutely magical about AUTUMN. It is indeed my favorite time of year. I still recall fond childhood memories of living on a tree covered street and watching the leaves change color, dry, then softly drift to the ground. Still, this was the suburbs of Los Angeles. Better yet were dreams of Vermont or New Hampshire; how I loved to flip the calendar to September and October and marvel at the colors that highlight this time of year.
However, the words FALL and AUTUMN puzzled me.
FALL, actually, no. It's inherent meaning is rather simple. As the Sun "fell" in the sky heading towards the Winter Solstice, the use of the term FALL made pretty astute sense. Much of English does when you think about it. "Leaves" which "leave" a tree at the time of Autumn are just one of those rather self evident craftings built into the language.
But AUTUMN would puzzle me for quite a few decades - not content as I am to accept the simple ramblings of organized academia. I know that they who were behind English were a bit more complex as a general rule than is commonly referred to in the mass market known as public education.
It was Gematria and codes that fascinated me. It was shapes and sounds and placement of letters that held interest. Knowing my ABC's seemed a bit childish. Clearly such a powerful tool as an Alphabet held deeper secrets, and clearly a language as powerful and universal as English was so for reasons few can comprehend.
Gematria and English Qaballa would serve well in providing a rational explanation for AUTUMN, and this article will reveal some of the rational processes through which the Esoteric Code of Autumn may be deciphered.
Gematria and English Qaballa
Manley P. Hall wrote in Secret Teachings of All Ages,
NO treatise which deals with symbolism would be complete without a section devoted to the consideration of cryptograms. The use of ciphers has long been recognized as indispensable in military and diplomatic circles, but the modern world has overlooked the important rôle played by cryptography in literature and philosophy. If the art of deciphering cryptograms could be made popular, it would result in the discovery of much hitherto unsuspected wisdom possessed by both ancient and mediæval philosophers.
That Manley P. Hall was hinting at discovery "of much hitherto wisdom" precludes the idea that just maybe Manley P. Hall, allied as he was with Osirian Masonic systems, was already versed in Pi as the Omnific Word and how this concept was encoded into a series of ciphers set over time. That words were set into ciphers deals directly with GEMATRIA, for GEMATRIA includes the planned and concsious crafting of esoteric formulae into words.
This esoteric formulae may or may not be fused to other words, and further still, whole phrases may or may not be fused to other whole phrases. Regardless, the general accepted rules of GEMATRIA include a component whereby words of equal value must by their numerical equivalency share in some esoteric linkage.
Thus the word ISIS, having a value of 56, has to be esoterically linked to SPEECH, which too has a value of 56, while OSIRIS, with a value of 89, would be esoterically linked to another word with a value of 89, that of RELIGION. The former would become known as the Oral Traditions, as represented by the TAROT, while RELIGION would be loosely represented by the TORAT, at least in one philosophical vein of thinking.
TORAT is opposed to TAROT.
Isis would TAROT would be Osirian and English, while Torat would be Setian would Hebrew. Dig deep into Crowley's work and you will find this concept hinted upon.
English Qaballa in no way should be viewed in a narrow concept as advanced by Crowlian adherents, however. The FACT is - there are 100's of cataloqued ciphers over the years. Any cipher pattern affixed and attributed to the Hebrew equally may be applied to English or any other mathematically based Alphabet. Still, English is more complex and readily "revealable".
What makes English so effective is that it is concsiously constructed and fused to a larger and hidden philosophy, complete with ciphers within ciphers and meanings upon meanings. It is said that "to put English on the Q ball" is to inject a planned spin in order to effect a planned outcome THAT ENABLES A FURTHER PLANNED attack, agenda, or way forward.
The philosophy behind all this make up the Qaballa component, upon which there is a "spin" component. A leaf of a tree in plural becomes "leaves", and when AUTUMN arrives, the "leaves" leave the tree, and yet in the word LEAVE we have the phonetics of EL (as ADM) and EVE who too "leave" the Garden of Eden, and so forth. Each Letter. Each Word. Each Archetype. All contain within them components of the larger philosophy that leads one back to a recovery of "the Word", which is Pi.
AUTUMN is no different - nor should it be expected to be so.
Temurah and Notaricon
Since Gematria more often than not entails the planned and concsious encrypting of esoteric formulae into the many words that make up the language, especially as they pertain to "sacred nomenclatures", then what follows is a necessity to understand the methodolies in play so that one may solve for the words.
English Qaballa and Gematria works very much like the game of billiards, and all the English and spin required to effectively play the game have their constituent components in Esoteric English. When you approach the cue ball (a word), you have to recognize its position on the table and the desired location of where you want the ball to come to rest, based further, as it may, within the rules of the game.
Putting "English" on the cue ball is very much the same as applying Temurah and Notaricon to any given series of words. Gematria, on the other hand, is akin to simply hitting the ball straight with no spin whatsoever. Sometimes this is the best approach to solving a word, but more often than not, some element of spin is required if one is to be able to effect the most beneficial outcome. So just as English is always required to properly play billiards, so too are the concepts of Temurah and Notaricon required in order to solve for the esoteric formulae encoded into words.
Temurah is really no more complicated than spinning one or more of the letters based their position relative to the whole of the word. Words must be viewed in context, with the underlying thesis that you are viewing a mathematical formula:
Letters are symbols of sounds. The letter X is a symbol of the sound EKS. It is also the Roman numeral signifying ten; in mathematics
it signifies any unknown quantity. Thus it means different things in different places. The school boy struggling with algebra does
not think of X as meaning ten or a part of the word extra, or example; to him it means a number he must find. If on the title page of a book you read "Published MCMX" you understand the book was printed in 1910; the X here is not EKS, nor is it a number to be found by algebraic calculation. The meaning depends here on the location, and the use.
Thus in the word SUN, we see that S is a 3 and N is a 5, and so the Letter U must be encoded as its value summation from 1:6, which is 21, which is the U letter, and thus is given a value of 6, showing that SUN is 365. In this way does SOL have a value of S=3, O=6, while in this case, L must have a value of 50, revealing SOL = 3650, or 365.
Each of the above examples is a Temurah component, placing words into mathematical context and then returning them to the astronomical equivalents that then reveal the inherent truth within the word as encoded.
Argue as you may, you cannot move the formula.
SUN and SOL each equal 365. If you do not apply "English" to the words SUN and SOL, and tried any given set of "add em up" systems (pure Gematria as hitting the ball straight with no spin), you will lose the inherent value and esoteric meaning. That is the same as hitting the cue ball, getting the target ball into a hole (for you will arrive at your intended result relative to the word), but scratching the cue ball in the process.
You lose control.
NOTARICON, on the other hand, recognizes that Letters are words within themselves. Thus the letter B is linked to "to", "two" and "too" equally, even as 2B or not 2B remains the question. C is linked to See and Sea the same, and further may be found imbedded archetypes as C is Sea is the Occult is De-CE-ption, while R is ARE is to be is linked and fused to 2 as referenced in the Isisian (Speech) Codes.
The word CRYSTAL, then, may be broken down into a Notaricon code of
C = See
R = OUR
YS = WISE
TAL = TALE
CRYSTAL = SEE OUR WISE TALE
CRYSTAL as SEE OUR WISE TALE is a pure usage of Notaricon. Fuse Notaricon to Temurah to Gematria and you have the genius of the Esoteric Code of AUTUMN.
The Esoteric Code of AUTUMN
The Esoteric Code of AUTUMN is covered in "Pi and the Pagan Calendar", so if you want a different perspective, perhaps you may wish to check out that article equally. However, let me try another way to help the interested in gaining awareness.
The 26 Letters of the English Alphabet represent 1/2 of the Calendar Year of 52 Weeks. The start point of the representation is the Letter T, which then is fused against the Solstices. Thus at the Winter Solstice, the word SOL'S T ICE being your key word in that SOL'S T is Summer T and T ICE is the Winter T, it is said that Osiris is born, which then becomes the birth of Jesus in the Setian systems. The day of death was set traditionally on the 22 day of December, wherin Osiris as the Sun is interred in the Earth for 3 days, and then "rises again" or is "born" on December 25.
The day of his "death" is the Winter Solstice, or December 22. This 22 date is then fused to the T letter, located as it is at the 7 Letter of the second half of the Alphabet, to reveal the fraction of
22/7 = 3.1428571 = Recipricol 7 Pi.
13 weeks after the Winter Solstice comes the arrival of the SPRING EQUINOX. Now EQUINOX is an interesting word, seeing how all the gold of the American government is stored in vaults at FORT KNOX.
EQUI = EQUAL
NOX = NUX = NUS = SUN
NOX is a code for SUN, thus the EQUI-NOX is the EQUI SUN, or the day where the Sun crosses the Equator and thus day and night are in equilibrium. I am sure you see LIBER and the scales and LIBRA in the word EQUI-LIBRIUM.
This day is represented by the 13th letter after the start of T. Thus:
T-UNVXYZABCDEF-G
G represents the Sun as it crosses the equator. The C is the sphere of the Earth while the T is equator line. This day again is located on the 22 day of March, while G is the 7th letter, revealing what?
The fraction 22/7 = 3.1428571 = Recipricol 7 Pi = The Word.
6 weeks after the Spring Equinox is May Day, or Beltaine. 6 Letters after G is:
G-HIJKL-MN
The Letter sequence MNO, or 131415, or Pi.
Take this formula to other side of the year, and 6 weeks after the Fall Equinox is the holiday of Holloween, which is then again the letters MNO = 131415.
Now you can solve for the Esoteric Code of AUTUMN - if you use Temurah, Notaricon, and Gematria.
The Isisian Codes reveal the following:
A has a value of 1
U has a value of 5
T has a value of 4
U has a value of 5
M has a value of 13
N has a value of 14
Since we know we need to return everything back to "the Word", we may leave MN as 1314 as Pi as the Word. This is the Gematria component, sans the "adding up" of the Letters.
This reveals the following:
AUTU(1314)
Since we know that the marking points are the Solstices and the Equinoxes, and these are marked further by major holidays of May Day/Beltaine and Holloween, we can see that the formula becomes self evident - IF WE USE NOTARICON!!!
AUTU(1314) = (15)TO1314 = (1+5=6) TO MN = 6 TO MN (1314)
The use of the Letter TU to represent the word TO is a NOTARICON component.
The AU shows that the letter placement is a 1 and 5 respective, and since we know that it is 6 weeks to the Letters MN, in that G represents the AU-TU-MN equinox, we can show that A+U = 1+5 = 6 weeks TO MN.
This provides you with but another example of how to apply English Qaballa to deciphering the hidden meanings encoded into words. AUTUMN is a placement code, revealing the precise location of where the Letters should be (in case a darker force seeks to destroy the knowledge?)
Now I am going to enjoy the Solstice and prepare for the Winter months ahead.

Duality and the World of Dreams
Let us begin by stressing again: there are two elements to the Illuminatus System, a concealed form and a revealed form. If you think about it, rationally, there can be no other way. The Occult, after all, must follow the patterns of Nature, and in Nature is found a blueprint that reveals duality.
Light is balanced by darkness, Summer by Winter, Spring by Fall, Male by Female, and so forth. But perhaps the most important poles within a reality based on duality is that of being "being awake" and that of "being asleep". The body, and hence the spirit, can only be awake for a variable set period of time and then it needs to "submerge itself" back into a state of sleeping, and conversely, save for physical malfunctions within the biological entity, a person can only sleep for so long before it awakens and "rises back up".
However, if you understood the Principle of Inverse Duplicity, you are beginning to become aware that everything is inverted. From an Occult sense, it is the "dream state" within which one becomes aware, and hence "awake", and it is the waking state where one, lacking the intuitive and astral benefit of "dreaming", goes through life "asleep".
Eyes wide shut.
Sleep as an Aid to Awareness
When we view the span of a life, we may view it as having a programmed period of time that becomes modified by variable sets of conditions and inputs. This period of time is divided into two primary states: waking state and sleep state.
Within the Illuminatus System, there is far more focus and emphasis on this condition than the lay are aware, and yet when you think about it, the focus on the conditional states of sleep and waking state are both profound and quite sound and rational relative to the acquisition of knowledge.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to maintaining a focused level of "concsiousness" - a state of perpetual awareness. The concept goes something like this:
When you travel through the "day", the idea of being aware may be enhanced through a focused attention to the details around you. Sounds, lights, smells, emotions, and so forth, may all enhance one's awareness. Rapid and concsious integration of these variable inputs creates a foundation upon which to draw upon for future circumstances. When a light flashes and the dog barks and jumps on the fence, the initial reaction might be to have a tinge of fear and alarm at the shrill of the sequence of sounds that invade the space of the individual. When it happens again, the individual is sensitized and does not react with the same emotional response as initially occurred.
In addition, the waking state is used for the accumulation of categorized knowledge. In this way, we may learn our math, history, English grammar, and a whole series of distinct data peculiar to any given specialty within the Matrix. Doctor's go about their business and the carpenter his and beggar still his too. Each life uses the waking state to add knowledge in some form or fashion to the entity, stored as it is in brain.
When the day is done, the doctor, the carpenter, and the beggar all lie down and go to sleep. The Occultist, on the otherhand, recognizes that the acquisition of knowledge is not confined to a pure waking state world. There is a whole other world still filled with life that readily supports and welcomes concsious existence - that of the world of "dreams".
The Occultists recognizes that the "sleep state" itself may be used to perpetuate and prolong concsious existence, thus whole systems have been put into place to maximize the physical time within which the individual is able to exist in a state of pure "conscious existence".
Consider then, that while you sleep, there is a whole army of souls who practice "staying awake" even as they "sleep", continuing, as it were, to acquire knowledge. And in a world where knowledge is power, even an extension of 2 or 3 hours of concsious existence in a "waking dream state" such as astral projection enhances the time spent in the acquisition of knowledge, and hence power, exponentially.
Duality and the World of Dreams
The fact is, the Construct has been crafted such that humanity is intended to go through it nearly entirely asleep. If mankind has not been "born to sleep" relative to the Construct, and it has not, one would have a hard time making a case otherwise.
The cold reality is, however, that within particular echelons of the Occult, "extreme awareness" is derived from "extreme states of altered concsiousness". These altered states of concsiousness can be so extreme that the person immersed in these states of altered concsiousness appear to be dead.
George Washington, a known Mason, was rumored to have been so fearful of being buried alive that he left orders to not bury him until after 3 days from his death. Conjecture could say that just perhaps he was versed in the knowledge of how to attain these altered states of consciousness and hence knew full well the appearances that such states take to the unawares.
Chopin was reported to have requested that he be "cut open" to ensure that he was not buried alive, while the grammarian Johannes Duns Scotus was recorded as having died in 1308 and then sometime later been found outside his coffin, his hands torn and covered in blood in a futile attempt to escape his tomb.
Indeed, "premature burial" was so feared and its reporting enough widespread that the casket business in the 1800's was filled with patents for "life saving measures" in case one were to have been buried alive. One physician in the the middle 1800's, Franz Hartmann, had collected some 750 cases of people who had been buried alive.
"The public mania over premature burials highlighted the fact that doctors were merely human and sometimes made mistakes... perhaps even mistakes that had people waking up from a trance and finding themselves entombed in a coffin."
Even the "New Testament" (itself an Illuminatus document) hints at the idea of "premature burial". The story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead is a potent insight into altered states of concsiousness by an Occult operation. Says Jesus is John 11:11,
"Our friend Laz'arus has fallen asleep, but I go to awake him out of sleep."
Now if you are a group of charlatans and "magicians" seeking to impress people with a pretty neat trick, having one of your disciples go into an altared state of concsiousness, be declared dead, and then "magically raised from the dead" is a pretty neat trick.
More about Jesus, we find in Infancy I
"They therefore took Him to the master; and he, as soon as he saw Him, wrote out the alphabet for Him, and told Him to say Aleph. And when He had said Aleph, the master ordered Him to pronounce Beth. And the Lord Jesus said to him: Tell me first the meaning of the letter Aleph, and then I shall pronounce Beth. And when the master threatened to flog Him, the Lord Jesus explained to him the meanings of the letters Aleph and Beth; also which figures of the letter were straight, which crooked, which drawn round into a spiral, which marked with points, which without them, why one letter went before another; and many other things He began to recount and to elucidate which the master himself had never either heard or read in any book."
That something has not been heard or written in a book is a reference to the attainment of knowledge from altered states of consciousness, or the dream world.
As the poetic Edda regarding Odin and the runes goes,
"None gave me bread,
None gave me drink.
Down to the deepest depths I peered
Until I spied the Runes.
With a roaring cry I seized them up,
Then dizzy and fainting, I fell."
Inverse duplicity. Down to the deepest depths is as rising to the highest astral heights in an astrally focused altered stated of concsiousness. As one "grabs the prize", or the knowledge of the Letters, Odin "falls" from the "depths", which are really heights. The astral body loses its hold on the astral world and plunges back into the physical body - but the knowledge gained from a concsious manipulation of the astral world, remains.
"Well-being I won
And wisdom too.
I grew and took joy in my growth:
From a word to a word
I was led to a word,
From a deed to another deed."
To those of you who have been fortunate enough to know that to which I refer, a redoubling of efforts might prove beneficial. What can be said is that much of what you read here has never been written in a book or heard elsewhere - precisely because of methods hinted at above have played a key role in the development of the information presented.

Deception and the The Principle of Inverse Duplicity
I can hear some of you now. "OK, Fetch. I click on an article entitled "The Principle of Inverse Duplicity" and here you present me with a picture of Macroprosopus. What on Earth is the correlation?"
Simple.
Before you can grasp the totality (to the degree possible) of the Principle of Inverse Duplicity, it is necessary to come to an understanding of conceptual realities as they are set down into Art.
Look at it this way:
Occult reality, in a very general sense, is predicated on a concept known as meta-numerics. The complexities of meta-numerics defy a simple English definition. Eastern traditions are better at approaching how meta-numerics may be defined, but the use of Eastern descriptions means nothing to the Western trained mind. So we shall be content to explain the basics.
The first four meta-numerics essentially become the building blocks to sacred geometry. These four meta-numerics are encoded as the following:
1) The Point
2) The Line
3) The Plane
4) Time
Set against Macroprosopus, the emulation of the point, the line, and then the plane, appear manifested as the "sea", or the "ocean". The plane, from which of course you can derive a "planet", "plan it", and a "plan" co-equally, is as the surface of the Earth. For Occult purposes, this is caste against "water", or the ocean, for it is with water that we are able to observe the reflections of "as above, so below", at least when conceptually set back against Nature.
The fourth meta-numeric, or that of "time", is emulated as Macroprosopus, or "the old man", which is "the Sun". However, this 4th meta-numeric or dimension, referred to as "Time" effectively becomes manifest as the air atmosphere within which spirit is able to manifest within. Time views the cosmos from within an atmosphere through an entity linked to the atmosphere.
This component or meta-numeric is oft visualized against two geometrical constructions: the sphere or the cube.
As regarding the Sphere, the best example of this is to utilize the Constructions contained in the story of Geb and Nut from the Egyptian system. In this story, Geb is the Earth and Nut is the Sky. When Nut "collapses" and comes down to meet Geb, there is "night", and when Nut rises to form a "DOME" over the Earth, there is light.
The DOME over Earth is really "the sky", or the atmosphere ("at most sphere" or "at most fear"). Since "Geb" is said to be "making love to Nut", the general perception is translated as "Geb" as Earth is making love to "Nut", who is sky. However, as "Nut" could be considered "the Sky", the atmosphere could be considered as "the womb", and the Sun "rises into the womb" or the Sky at the time of the Sunrise.
The atmosphere, set against a conceptual of the Earth being cut in half across the area of daylight and darkness, forms the shape known in English as a "DOME". Set this further against Geb and Nut as Earth and Air "making love", and the separation of DOME into "DO ME" takes on a form of pun. The joke is set against the shape and the underlying archetypal Construct.
DOME is really one of those "4 letter words", and a clever one at that indeed.
The Popul Vuh and Deliberate Deception
There is a passage from the Popul Vuh regarding the creation of man. It goes like this:
"They were able to know all, and they examined the four corners, the four points of the arch of the sky and the round face of the earth.
But the Creator and the Maker did not hear this with pleasure. "It is not well what our creatures, our works say; they know all, the large and the small," they said. And so the Forefathers held counsel again. "What shall we do with them now? Let their sight reach only to that which is near; let them see only a little of the face of the earth!"
The thought concluded with:
"Thus they spoke, and immediately they changed the nature of their works, of their creatures.
Then the Heart of Heaven blew mist into their eyes, which clouded their sight as when a mirror is breathed upon. Their eyes were covered and they could see only what was close, only that which was clear to them."
When analyzing the available mythologies, it helps to understand that there is a common theme, or thread, running between them. Further, each of the various myths may are but a slice of a composite whole. Further, this composite whole often is simply transposing and rehashing primary elements or keys to the larger Philosophy, that being either the WORD (as Pi), or the "Philosopher's Stone", which is a geometric representation of an archetypal road map.
Further, the various tales and mythologies are often further broken down into sub-categories. "Acroamatic ciphers" that speak of a particular Letter or combination of Letters (PTAH being the Self Actuated One is the Letter A is the word PATH, for instance) is one simple example.
Hence it is essential that the various mythological works be studied with the above thoughts in mind. What is being read is oft not what it appears, and this is by design, so an investigation into these matters contains an element of intrigue known as conjecture. However, the Philosophy, or Construct, is especially linked or fused to "sacred nomenclatures". Plutarch clearly advises investigation and consideration of "sacred nomeclatures" when he mentions early in "On Isis and Osiris",
"Therefore the effort to arrive at the Truth, and especially the truth about the gods, is a longing for the divine. For the search for truth requires for its study and investigation the consideration of sacred subjects, and it is a work more hallowed than any form of holy living or temple service; and, not least of all, it is well-pleasing to that goddess whom you worship, a goddess exceptionally wise and a lover of wisdom, to whom, fas her name at least seems to indicate, knowledge and understanding are in the highest degree appropriate."
What escapes most is "the obvious": in a system where "the works have been changed" and vision has been occluded, a contemporary rationalization of this reality is that we are dealing with a cipher that encodes a larger holistic philosophy (traditional Osirian Luciferianism).
In any cipher, it is virtually impossible to "crack" the cipher without first having enough data such as to reveal patterns that hints at the scrambling of the original message.
In traditional cryptology, these ciphers take on the practical presentation of being "mathematical ciphers".
In the Illuminatus System, as it were, the overall message is contained in a set of archetypal patterns set against Letter/Number/Sound, while the interpretation of the hidden message can only be achieved through the use of the intuitive "ARTS", very much in the manner that a tarot reader goes about interpreting the sea of symbols before same. However, one needs to recognize the patterns as these archetypal ciphers are transposed from myth to myth.
Regardless.
The important consideration is that as stated in the Popul Vuh, "the works" have been "changed", vision has been "obscured", and only the most obvious is deemed acceptable to be released before to the eyes of the masses. "Humpty Dumpty" as the Hump T and the Dump T is a very good example of an "obvious secretion" that is so overt and obvious and yet wholly clever enough to hide the true acroamatic meaning.
Further, if you know that the works have been changed, and that "you can only see what is near", perhaps it would make sense to continue into your investigations and studies so that you may be able to arrive at the Construct, and hence "the Truth".
For example:
The answer to the mathematical formula of the sum of 1:4 is 10. The fourth letter of the Alphabet is D. Rotate it 90 degrees, and you have the Sun as it appears to rise on the HORIZON. That all of these statements and relations are true is obvious as one begins an inquiry into the Speculative Arts. That the word HORIZON encodes the conceptual formula of "the Letter H as the Greek Letter Pi is comprised of the ZIRO (Zero) and the On(e)" all begin to reveal the totality of "the Truth", that there is an ingenious cipher built into the language. The Sun is the O and the 1 is the "HORIZON".
However, if we just show you the Letter D, and then "stop" at the simple revealing of the Letter D, this simple revelation, "See! This Letter is called "D"", is a perfect example of what is meant by people can only see what is near and not what is far, as referenced in the Popul Vuh. What you see is a "letter" shared by a particular few Alphabets. You did not see the mathematical basis of the Letter (1+2+3+4 = 10). You did not see it's link to the Sunrise (or Sunset), that DE is to be born and to subtract the life DE-ADD is to be DE'ED (dead). All the manifested archetypes upon which D is caste are void from one's vision. Surely, as stated in the Popul Vuh, the eyes have been covered as if reality is being viewed from a mirror fogged over through the simple warmth of one's breath.
What follows is that within "reality" there exists a certain premeditated deception upon which reality is fabricated.
Things are not as they appear.
The Metaphysics of the Cube
Just as the sphere maintains it's esoteric constructions, the cube, too, maintains its esoteric construction. The cube's esoteric construction, however, contains a sophisticated level of deception used by the Illuminatus.
Hence it's properties are wise to be comprehended and understood.
When viewed from it's physical properties, the cube has 6 sides, 12 edges, and 8 outer points. It contains a 9th point, which is the point directly in the center, from which 6 pyramids are formed. It is this "9th" point, that becomes "the I", and gives rise to the "Jack in the Box" which pops out of the Cubed structure.
The cube is key to sacred geometry, and indeed, to the primary coding of the Illuminatus. In general, a single cube is viewed as either "material existence", "life", or "the waking state", while two cubes interlinked and veiled in the Vesica Piscis is known as either "the spiritual world" or "the dream state".
When we deal in "dream states" relative to the Occult, there are multiple levels of existence. "Dreaming" as viewing a movie becomes supplanted by the ability to create "lucid states", which give way further to conscious astral projection. More advanced states include the use of hallucinogens to induce astral states (Santa and his "sleigh ride").
Regarding the waking state, or material existence, this is accomplished through passage of "the Egg", which is the letter Q. Hence to arrive into a material existence, it could be said that you have been "Q'ubed" as in past tense. The DREIDLE is one of the early symbols used to represent this state of existence. Using Gematria, this can be shown very easily by linking the word CHERUB to that of a the word DREIDLE.
Cherub's are often depicted as "angels" in the form of infants, hinting at a relationship to Q, or the fertilized egg, while the DREIDLE becomes the "spinning cube" that initiates the life, and as its inertia ends, falls and the life ends and the soul returns to the "dream state".
Aside from all the phonetic plays between a "cherub" being linked to a cube, as well as the anagramic play on the two words, Gematria aids still further by showing that
CHERUB = 3+8+5+18+21+2 = 57 = 4+18+5+9+4+12+5 = DREIDLE
So when the "Flaming Sword and Cherub" guard the way to the Garden of Eden, we can substitute the word CHERUB with CUBE and CUBE with DREIDLE, and DREIDLE with JACK, if you prefer. The important issue is to find a contemporary transposition for which you may understand the concept.
The Cube may be viewed then as "a sphere" in that if you are to stand on the center of the cube, the flat plane of the Earth is as the side of the cube you are standing on. This becomes known in mythology as "viewing the 4 corners, which really become NE, SE, SW, and NW.
The Principle of Inverse Duplicity
Setting all of this back against Continental Masonry, one may be aided by an understanding of inverse duplicity. As defined, the word duplicity has the following general definitions:
1a. Deliberate deceptiveness in behavior or speech.
1b. An instance of deliberate deceptiveness; double-dealing.
2. The quality or state of being twofold or double.
Duplicity, inferring as it does the word "duplicate", clearing hints of the twofold nature of an item, which in our case, remain words. Inverse duplicity is simply the logical inversion of the planned deception in the word. For instance, a "funeral" contains as a root the word "FUN", and yet "funerals", by their very nature, generally tend to be quite sad affairs. There is nothing fun about them. This word is a very good example of an inverse duplicity. Funerals are not fun, they are sad, so we can simply inverse the "fun" to reveal the duplicity in the word. However, still further, within the word "funeral" remain the phonetics of "funnel".
Human life may be seen as the funnel filled with fluid. The funnel holds the liquid in check but still it drains the fluids in a constricted basis. Set this concept against the current level of human life on the planet, and death is as the liquid that flows out from the funnel. The liquid (loss of human life through death) remains in a state of constriction: as we add more liquid (life) we are able to maintain fluid in the funnel, and when we do not create enough life, the funnel slowly empties.
This is the inverse duplicity of the word FUNERAL contained in the root (consonant sounds) of the word. While a FUNERAL encodes the word FUN and is yet oft a sad affair, the reason for the FUNERAL is that someone's soul has left their body (risen up and flown away), and yet the fundamental macro philosophy is encoded into a "FUNNEL" that constricts the mass and secretes the fluids in a set constricted manner.
When we view the Compass and the Square, it is necessary to understand the principle of inverse duplicity. To say "good mourning" means we are happy, and the very saying of the phrase "good mourning" adds cheer to the invoker and the receiver, and yet the word is phonetically linked to "mourning" such as to be in a state of sadness.
This is inverse duplicity, and as you become aware of it, you will find it everywhere.
That there is a level of duplicity such as to be 180 degrees opposite in meaning relative to sound implies that there is a rational cipher being set into motion by a "higher power" or force who maintain a rational understanding of the underpinnings of the language.
It is a great fraud to assume that there was no rational component to the fabrication of the language against the sounds of the Alphabet. This was part of the "Great Work", after all.
What is above is below, but it is often turned 180 degrees from original perception. 6 is to 9. G is to Pei. Mourning is to Happy. Funeral is to Sad. The mountain is reflected in the lake, inverted.
Be aware of Principal of Inverse Duplicity as you walk the minefield of words.
Add your own here.
Simple.
Before you can grasp the totality (to the degree possible) of the Principle of Inverse Duplicity, it is necessary to come to an understanding of conceptual realities as they are set down into Art.
Look at it this way:
Occult reality, in a very general sense, is predicated on a concept known as meta-numerics. The complexities of meta-numerics defy a simple English definition. Eastern traditions are better at approaching how meta-numerics may be defined, but the use of Eastern descriptions means nothing to the Western trained mind. So we shall be content to explain the basics.
The first four meta-numerics essentially become the building blocks to sacred geometry. These four meta-numerics are encoded as the following:
1) The Point
2) The Line
3) The Plane
4) Time
Set against Macroprosopus, the emulation of the point, the line, and then the plane, appear manifested as the "sea", or the "ocean". The plane, from which of course you can derive a "planet", "plan it", and a "plan" co-equally, is as the surface of the Earth. For Occult purposes, this is caste against "water", or the ocean, for it is with water that we are able to observe the reflections of "as above, so below", at least when conceptually set back against Nature.
The fourth meta-numeric, or that of "time", is emulated as Macroprosopus, or "the old man", which is "the Sun". However, this 4th meta-numeric or dimension, referred to as "Time" effectively becomes manifest as the air atmosphere within which spirit is able to manifest within. Time views the cosmos from within an atmosphere through an entity linked to the atmosphere.
This component or meta-numeric is oft visualized against two geometrical constructions: the sphere or the cube.
As regarding the Sphere, the best example of this is to utilize the Constructions contained in the story of Geb and Nut from the Egyptian system. In this story, Geb is the Earth and Nut is the Sky. When Nut "collapses" and comes down to meet Geb, there is "night", and when Nut rises to form a "DOME" over the Earth, there is light.
The DOME over Earth is really "the sky", or the atmosphere ("at most sphere" or "at most fear"). Since "Geb" is said to be "making love to Nut", the general perception is translated as "Geb" as Earth is making love to "Nut", who is sky. However, as "Nut" could be considered "the Sky", the atmosphere could be considered as "the womb", and the Sun "rises into the womb" or the Sky at the time of the Sunrise.
The atmosphere, set against a conceptual of the Earth being cut in half across the area of daylight and darkness, forms the shape known in English as a "DOME". Set this further against Geb and Nut as Earth and Air "making love", and the separation of DOME into "DO ME" takes on a form of pun. The joke is set against the shape and the underlying archetypal Construct.
DOME is really one of those "4 letter words", and a clever one at that indeed.
