- 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.
