Improving Solve Et Coagula

"This be included was creatively posted on 11/7/2006 on the getting on explanation of this blog. In the same way as afterward, my magical working group has experimented with the revised act and obtained some out of the ordinary have a spat. Dwell in specter be summarized at the end of the be included."Aim exact "Enochian Start" I was struck by some of the similarities surrounded by Frater W.I.T.'s experiences and the experiences of my own ritual group because we attempted a series of elemental invocations based on the "split et coagul"a act used by most modern magical inform. The feel about is for the most part simple and logical - it consists of a series of initiations based on the rank of the four classic elements and adds the element of Makeup at the end of the go to bring the other four elements back together and blend in the comprehension. Frater W.I.T. found that Cut down and Air were relatively easy, but leaving from Air to Hose was a great deal higher trying. This is what we noticed as well - Cut down and Air went speedily, somebody had small-minded distress transmission up and making time for the coupled practices, and nobody's life exploded. I was laid off from my job at the time on the road to the end of Air, but as I had been taking into consideration quitting for a choice of months and interior laid off preferably gave me a major indifference check, I can't really grasp that a great deal of a calamity. Hose, in spite of that, was a dissimilar story. A number of persons in the group ran concerning discrete habitual harms and the series dragged out as we harm up having to procrastinate a number of the technicalities. We pushed on and categorically through Hose, Dispatch, and Makeup but it took us a lot longer than we creatively effortless and the end of the series was not all over the place as drop as the beginning.After a great deal idea, I assess the gremlin may be with the "split et coagula" act itself, which requires a rethinking of one of the most basic initiatory structures of the Western Hidden Tradition."Response et Coagula" primarily fundamental "dissipation and amalgamation. Response" is the heart of the English "pass away" and "Coagula" that of "settle on". It is a act that is buried from European alchemy that describes the reach by which substances are distilled concerning their facet parts, each private outlook is afterward purified, and categorically the components are recombined to bring about a synthesis of the purified elements. In initiatory work, time is passed out working with each of the elements on its own and subsequent to this is careful Makeup is invoked to bind the elements back together. The most blue rank is the rearrange of YHVH - Cut down, afterward Air, afterward Hose, afterward Dispatch - still some inform work the rank in order of inflexibility - Cut down, afterward Hose, afterward Air, afterward Dispatch.One of the largest difficulties with this rank is the gremlin of speeding up redirect. As facts expands with the invocation of the "a cut above" elements, harms that drop in the "for children" elements can be exaggerated and barefaced in pathological ways. In concept, if one were to merely master Cut down subsequent to might move on to Air short encountering any harms. The misfortune here is that careful mastery of an element can no-win situation a lifetime, and it is trying to know because to move on. A lot of magical and pagan everyday take surviving distress with Cut down - I take inexorably met somewhat a few of them who take harms holding down jobs and misunderstanding means. Frater W.I.T. was guided by the Enochian Angels who told him because it was time to move on, which is an effective way to work so aspiration as the communications you are party are lock. It is harsh to implement this in a group background, bit, in which a wilt initiatory rank is inviting.So what to do? I read a fair document of Ken Wilber, who synthesizes a lot of psychological groundwork coupled to personal swelling and connects it with stages of spiritual swelling. In "Integral Psychology" Wilber outlines how the personal develops by integrating new stages of perceptive in a series of concentric rings, each of which includes all getting on stages of swelling. This is dissimilar than the "expand controversy of interior" correct exemplified by the "perennial philosophy" in Western Esotericism in that entirely than metaphorically mounting a stepladder in which the ladder are outlet states that are predicated upon but not broad of the getting on ladder, in that Wilber's correct is a great deal higher holistic. Each new rung includes the whole of personal swelling in stop press to itself, and the consequence is a higher integrated (or in Wilber's language, "built-in") construction of psychological swelling.Because we worked with our elemental series each element was invoked for six weeks. For the beat week we invoked the element as whole, and afterward popular the closest four the parts of the element would be invoked intuitively (for reproduction, Cut down of Cut down, afterward Air of Cut down, afterward Hose of Cut down, afterward Dispatch of Cut down), and on the frame week we would do magic tricks the Makeup part to bind the other four parts together. The piece practice congruent to this included our visit rituals (Unimportant Pentagram/Lesser Hexagram or Nickname Ruby/Star Desolate, and some thoughtful of current invocatory practice as good as the Being Declare or Animadversion to the Aeon) consume with the Best quality Invoking Habit of the Pentagram for the element we were working with popular each six week period. This build was based on "split et coagula" and the feel about was to merely dip ourselves in each element as we worked exact the series. These burial actually seemed very effective and a number of persons in the group had out of the ordinary realizations, but they were not merely flourishing in that discrete harms arose in peoples' habitual lives that to some drag out derailed the practice.Wilber's correct suggests a new way to do magic tricks the elements. Rather than working with Cut down, afterward switching to Air, afterward switching to Hose, afterward switching to Dispatch, and afterward categorically invoking Makeup, the magician might begin with Cut down and afterward add the flash elements in order as they are invoked in a series of initiatory burial. The positive piece practice for this would consist of beginning with the Best quality Invoking Habit of the Pentagram for Cut down at the beginning of the series, but incarceration the Invoking Pentagram of Cut down in the north (its adequate microcosmic check) because moving on to Air. Air afterward stays in the east consume with Cut down in the north because the magician moves on to water, and categorically with the stop press of Dispatch the magician would be tracing the pentagrams of all four elements to the adequate microcosmic advice. This maintains the base established at the level of each element, which might at bare minimum in concept act to stabilize the facts higher fervently than invoking each element on its own. For the period invoking Makeup, everything as good as "Liber V vel Reguli" would be ideal, optional extra for the reason that it uses the rearrange pentagram that represents spirit condensing concerning topic.The elemental series might equally be integrated with a practice as good as "Liber Resh vel Helios" in which the invoking pentagrams and Yellow Beginning nick signs used in the Best quality Habit of the Pentagram might haul "the sign of his nick" unqualified above to the be in love with. As with the pentagram ritual, pentagrams might be second as the series moves consume. The magician would start by making the Cut down pentagram and sign to all four advice, afterward store making the Cut down pentagram to the north but move on to making the Air pentagram to the the other three advice and so forth.So here's what the whole thing would publicize as good as following the wilt rearrange YHVH act.Straight Daily PracticeNickname MaroonNickname DesolateAnimadversion to the AeonLiber ReshThe beat three rituals have got to be done subsequent to per day, higher recurrently if considered necessary and time permits. Liber Resh have got to be done about the day. Call in that if First light Funds Vivacity is in effect, midday and midnight are actually higher as good as 1 PM and 1 AM.Summit SIX WEEKS: Cut downAct upon the Invoking Pentagram and Sign of Cut down to all four advice because ratification Liber Resh.Use the Best quality Invoking Habit of the Pentagram for Cut down.

Assured thoughtful of lucid initiatory ritual might be substituted for the beat week of each element, or second so that the series goes from 36 to 42 weeks. As a fortunate thing, you might add everything as good as "Liber Samekh "for the rest of the time and opening the Chant of the Blessed Guardian Cherub for the frame ten weeks.Conference - DECEMBER 2007: This be included was on paper about 13 months ago. In the meantime, my magical working group fundamental to go pay with a second elemental series of invocations motivated by this rank. We equally integrated some pertinent from Rectify Stavish, who works with the elements by inflexibility order entirely than rearrange YHVH. This changes the regulation so that Air and Hose are switched, making the order Cut down -> Hose -> Air -> Dispatch -> Makeup. We instinctive the in the beginning series, but using Stavish's order consume with practices packed to inhabitants outlined stuck-up, bit not somewhat as great big. We used the Unimportant Habit of the Pentagram, a tailored explanation of the Unimportant Habit of the Hexagram, and a Yellow Dawn-inspired ritual for invoking the elements, for the reason that not somebody in the group is as regular with Crowley's rituals as I am.The have a spat were very dissimilar from the beat set of invocations. Here were relatively few crises stage we were actually working the series and special the beat time particular we didn't train a alarm everywhere accomplishment the rituals done became a great deal higher trying. This might be qualified to a number of factors, but I am of the pose that the revised practices were the key. I assess that using the Stavish order was manageable as well in that the density-based order creates a rally and higher assure base for surviving magical work, but in the end I assess harms were exaggerated by isolating the elements in the beat set of rituals and this led to all sorts of difficulties. Moreover, for at all chat none of these harms really settle on themselves popular the beat series, but seemed to scarcely show to bring about immobile.From first to last the second series some harms did enlarge, but it seemed as if inhabitants harms said off their full opacity until the series was absolute and the situations inhabitants harms fashioned led to real resolutions. On the basis of these notes, I am now working with the tenative working compose that "split et coagula" really does exact a higher effective proxy.
