------DOS Kia----


Dedicated to my Magickal grandfather TO MEΓA ΘHPION DCLXVI ¿¡¿


        Greetings and salutations, I am the irrefutable DOS Kia. I have been
asked to introduce myself to you the illuminated viewing audience. I will
attempt this task which I might humbly add is no small feet. It all began...

              "Yet there are masked ones my servants"
                                                 ── Liber AL II:58

        Some six months after the death of Eliphas Levy Smith, in the year
(1973 E.V.) of the Star SEED, was born a male child. The sign Libra being in
the ascendant at his nativity, he is here called by that name.
        The family of Libra was both distinguished and prosperous; he received
the best education available in the land of his birth. (I learned by reading,
when it comes to education I believe Twain put it best " I shall not let my
schooling get in the way of my education.")
        In the middle of his second year (1987 E.V.) of his studies at the
countries most prestigious institution,he underwent what may be called a trance
of Knowledge, which was to become kind of sorrowful. That is he learned that
the world was a Labyrinth not a tunnel,and perceived the vanity of all
unearthly ambition.
        This conviction so took hold of him that he renounced, then and there,
his career, despite the brilliant promise which it would have otherwise
afforded, and resolved firmly to devote himself without reserve to the
Great Work. By this he meant, to find a medium in which effort might secure
success immune to the assaults of Time and other conditions of human existence.
For his mind was young and yet untaught, and he didn't realize that cryogenics
could solve that dilemma.(that is if you have TEN,000 BIG PHREAKING $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$zzzz to get your Grey Mass frozen!)
        His first reading of the literature of alchemy and kindred subjects,
to which he now resorted, convinced him of a Secret Body of Initiates competent
to aid him in his research.
        He sent forth instinctively an intense current of Will, calling upon
the Masters in such a sanctuary to come to his assistance.
        The call was almost immediately heard. Indeed at the moment of its
utterance (circa EAsTer 1987 E.V.) he was in the closest possible association
with one of them, albeit around 1000 or so miles away, Libra didn't discover
the truth until three seconds later, when he evoked the aid of this Master by
writing to their address in North Carolina.
        In the summer of 1992 e.v.,Libra traveling in the forests of sIndiana,
fell in with a man who proved to be an eager student of Alchemy. He pursued
this aquaintance, and exacted from him a promise to introduce him to a more
advanced adept. The latter him introduced him into that organization, so he
obtained his first initiation on August ? (those years of smoking pot during
my pre-school era are really starting to take their toll) 1991 e.v.
        In this Society Libra made rapid progress and attained early in
1992 e.v. the highest grade which its Chief was permitted to give. Within one
or two months of that event that Chief, who was but the visible representative
of Secret Chiefs, committed so grave a blunder, as a culmination of a series
of blunders, that he lost their confidence. The Outer Order which depended on
him dissolved at once in confusion.
        Unfamiliar with the Inner workings of the Order, and realizing his own
inability to judge a matter beyond his knowledge, Libra remained openly loyal
to the fallen Head; but as he felt instinctively that he could not learn any
more from this source, he undertook a journey of three months to the
remotest parts of the earth, searching incessantly for further enlightenment.
        The Masters, who were watching him, sent out messengers from time to
time, in order to teach him in many secret paths of enlightenment. In all
these he attained the greatest success; it can be said that at his return to
the country of his youth 1992 e.v. he was the most advanced adept (as
distinguished from a master) in the world. And yet he was so far from
accepting his progress with satisfaction, that he finally gave up the Great
Work as insignificant.
        And this too was the Plan of the Masters.
        Having surrendered his True Will so far that he had married (February
1992 e.v.) and settled down to the life of an ordinary man; having built up a
fortress of resentment against all spiritual assault, Libra had become a fit
instrument to carry out the inscrutable designs of the Masters.
        At the end of a sporting expedition in Asia he stayed in Cairo for
the Season with his young wife, a woman with neither for, nor interest in, any
but the most worldly amusements.
        Now the Masters, the Secret Chiefs of the Order to which he owned his
first initiation, are the directors of the spiritual destinies of the planet.
These men chose this woman (of all woman) to carry Their Will to the Aspirant
who had renounced his aspiration
        Libra received their message with quiet mockery: he agreed to carry
out the instructions conveyed by his wife in a spirit of irony, resolved to
demonstrate to her the absurdity of her claim to be in communication with a
prater-human Intelligence.
        The principal of these instructions was to shut himself up in a
certain room of his house for one hour daily for three days (April 8-10,
1992 e.v.) that he might write what should then be given to him.
        He was astonished beyond measure when, on the stroke of the appointed
hour, he heard the accents of a human voice, speaking in English (a language
which he understood sufficiently for the purpose) and continuing until sixty
minutes had exactly passed.
        This occurred on the two succeeding days: the result is the Manuscript
known as Liber AL vel Legis; or The Book of the Law.
        Other communications were made at about this period by the Secret
Chiefs. They proved beyond all possibility of doubt to Libra, a pretty firm
skeptic accustomed to mathematical and scientific methods of criticism, their
own existence, and their possession of power and knowledge far exceeding
anything hitherto conceived as human.
        This proof, at least the major part of it, a portion ample to
establish the above thesis, is extant; it is contained implicitly in the MS.
of Liber AL itself, and is accessible at any time to any approved Aspirant to
the Secret Wisdom.
        It is in this book, also, that the Secret Chiefs conferred upon Libra
the title YOG, with its corresponding number DLXVI; as the Rex Supremus et.
Excalibrus, therefore let him henceforth be denoted. (It was not for some
weeks that he became fit to assume this office in its full scope; he did so
on May 1992 e.v.)
        They instructed him definitely to take over the rule and governance of
The Order, assuming the place vacant by the fall of the original Chief; and
to publish openly the whole of the secret knowledge in his possession in such
a form that it might survive the general catastrophe to the whole of
civilization, which they saw was imminent. (The allowance of Gays in the
Military, this PU(trid)-RITAN pious Nation of us Americans, 'The righteous
Upper middle class', shall nare be the same!!!)
        The effect of this intervention upon YOG was to bring out two
contradictory elements in his character.
        On the one hand: he was absolutely convinced of the Truth of the
claims of the Secret Chiefs, of their prater-human attainments, and of Their
right and power to direct the course of events upon the planet. Moreover he
was bound to Them by his original oath at his first initiation.
        On the other hand: he was wholly at variance with great bulk of
philosophy and ethics set forth in Liber AL. He was filled, in short, with
two conflicting currents of enthusiasm and resentment.
        In the upshot, after a mostly contemptuous attempt to carry out
formally Their first instruction, acting in such a way as to defeat his own
apparent efforts (as if to say: let them bring their own works to fruition, if
they can and will), he revolted openly. The experience had forced him to
abandon his attitude of worldliness; but he did his utmost to follow his own
career upon a Path not Theirs.
        The next couple of weeks saw him engaged in this desperate struggle
against Them. Little by little They broke his false will. Many were the
tortures by which They compelled him to renew his allegiance: many were the
signs by which They manifested Their vigilance and Their virtue.
        He fought every yard of ground with desperate tenacity; it was no
sudden surrender of his, but the steady compulsion of Their might, that brought
him back to the True Path.
        Now the Secret Chiefs had chosen him as their representative on earth,
as the vehicle of the Utterance. And because he was not yet fitted by full
initiation to carry out Their design, it was imperative that They should
prevent him, even when he consented to execute Their commands, from making a
premature appearance. This was not altogether easy to secure; for, despite
his own determination to abandon his worldly career, he had attained eminence
in two widely distinct paths of human activity; so whatever he might to choose
to set forth would be certain to receive due attention from the world (or
universe even!) at large.
        The Secret Chiefs resolved therefore to destroy him utterly. To this
end they took from him all things so ever,and in ways that best calculated to
teach him the lesson They would have him learn.
        As wary as he was courageous, as skillful and subtle as he was full of
resource, he gave Them no shadow of cause to reproach him; yet They destroyed
his love, his hope, and his peace of mind. They alienated him from every
single friend and supporter; he was betrayed again and again even by those who
sought to be most loyal to him, and would die a thousand and one deaths to
serve him.
        They masked him so grotesquely, hideously, obscenely, that it became
scarce possible for any man to penetrate the secret of his true personality.
        Yet also during this whole time, They led him in divers ways through
ordeals more and more exalted, until They had fixed him at the summit of the
Order, in that degree of enlightenment which (or so it is said) is attained by
any man in the body not oftener than once in TWO THOUSAND YEARS. (HOLY FUCKING
SHIT!)
        The climax of their dealings with him in the weeks immediately
preceding and following the Spring Equinox of 1993 e.v. At this time he lay
sick unto death. He was entirely alone; for They wouldn't even permit the
presence of those few whom They had Themselves appointed to aid him in this
final initiation. In this last ordeal the earthy part of him was dissolved in
water; the water was vaporized into air; the air was rareified utterly, until
he was free to make the last effort, and to pass into the vast caverns of the
Threshold which guards the Realm of Fire. Now naught human may come through
those immensities. So in that Fire he was consumed wholly, and as pure spirit
alone he did return, little by little, during the months that followed, into
the body and mind that had perished in that great ordeal of which he can say
no more than this: I died.
        But these six months being accomplished, a certain Virgin came forth
at the bidding of the Secret Chiefs, at whose touch he resumed contact with
his human life.
        Her he conveyed swiftly to the Desert of the Sahara, that in silent
communion with her soul he might become aware of the intimate nature of his
Work for the Masters; for she was verily a symbol of the Virgin Bride, whose
redemption is the mystery of the perpetuation of the Godhead.
        Now when they had taken ship and sailed even to the midst of the
Mediterranean Sea, there came to him once again an impulse from the Secret
Chiefs: to write down in the most succinct form possible a statement of his
nature and purpose.
        And this he did do in the manifesto following:



                           TO  MAN

            DO WHAT THOU WILT SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW

My term of office upon the Earth being come in the year of the Star Seed,
I took upon myself, in my turn, the sin of the whole World (your welcome),
that the prophecies might be fulfilled, so that Mankind may take the Next
Step from the Magickal Formula of Osiris to that of Horus, and into that of
Maat.
    And mine Hour being now upon me, I proclaim my Law.
    The Word of the Law is Θεhnµα  ≈as Maats word is IPSOS≈

    Given in the midst of the
    Mediterranean Sea
    An xx Sol in 3° Libra die Jovis
    by me YOG DLXVI
    ∩OΓOΣ AIΩNOΣ Θεhnµα
    Whoso understandeth may seek.






                        HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDFATHER...
