- THE HOLY GUARDIAN ANGEL vs. GOD
-
- "Be strong, o man, lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture:
- fear not that any God shall deny thee for this".
-
- LIBER AL II.22

-
- Two people can look at a pencil and agree that it is a pencil
- because the senses have sent their brains similar information.
- However, since two objects cannot occupy the same space at the
- same time our perceptions will vary because our position to the
- pencil will differ.
-
- This illustrates the great fall of conventional Religion. Every
- Sect has a perspective of God which differs from other sects,
- they will not allow any deviance from what their experience with
- God has been. They have failed to realize that the experience of
- the Knowledge of God is different to every one depending on where
- they are in relation to the rest of the Universe, as I have
- illustrated above.
-
- "God" is a word which attempts to describe an entity which
- admittedly can not be described; yet those who use the word while
- preaching claim they know what "God" wants you to do. If "God"
- wants to tell you something, God will tell you Him or Herself.
- God wanted men and women to think independently, it is for this
- reason that God disguised Himself as a Serpent and "tempted" the
- pair.
-
- As Gnostics we must strive to develop a personal relationship
- with God, without the middle man. All that is needed to
- accomplish the Union of Man and God is within our hearts, this is
- the mystery of the Christ. Conventional Religious Cults do not
- want you to know this. They want you to feel like you need them;
- this way they can continue selling you real estate in heaven.
- Cults need to exercise control over their members, they are not
- in the least bit interested in their devotees developing a
- personal relationship with God.
-
- Every man and woman should strive to create their own religions
- according to their own Wills and evolutionary development. It is
- a good idea to study all religions in order to understand the
- Inner Mysteries hidden therein. Only by this Knowledge can we
- come to the Understanding which is necessary in creating one's
- own Myth. Religion has a lot to offer and one can learn
- much about the culture and lives of the people who follow the
- religion that one is researching.
-
- Remember that since Truth is beyond speech it cannot be
- communicated. Therefore, in order to avoid folly when reading
- any Holy Book we must not take the literal meaning as the Truth,
- or we will be in danger of falling into the trap that the
- Fundamentalist has fallen into. Furthermore, don't trust anyone
- who claims to know the Truth. Truth is protected from the vulgar
- because it is written in a language that only the Initiated will
- understand. Become worthy of the Truth and it will find you.
- Peoples experience of "God" will differ because God will manifest
- Itself to the individual according to their race, culture,
- education, and previous experience.
-
- Because the Magician understands this basic principle of
- philosophy he uses the term HOLY GUARDIAN ANGEL when referring to
- his or her "God". The Magician knows that the image in which God
- has manifested Himself to the individual is only one in an
- infinite at Its disposal.
-
- Conventional philosophies go to great lengths to make one believe
- that their God is the only one. They boast about Its Omnipotence
- and Omnipresence, yet; they fail to recognize that very same God
- as manifested in other cultures. In essence, they blaspheme the
- same God that they claim to serve.
-
- The Holy Guardian Angel is your God, It will not make you drop to
- your knees or expect you to do the will of others. It will walk
- with you, and be there in times of need to comfort you, and in
- times of great opposition It will be the blood that boils within
- you. It will laugh with you in times of great happiness and
- strengthen you in times of great sorrow.
-
- The image which your Angel has given you is uniquely yours.
- Remember to show others the benefit of knowing their own God, as
- the sages of time tell us: "In true religion there is no sect,
- therefore take heed that thou blaspheme not the name by which
- another knoweth his God; for if you do this thing in Jupiter thou
- will blaspheme IHVH and in Osiris IHShVH. Ask and ye shall have!
- Seek, and ye shall find! Knock, and it shall be opened unto
- you!"
