Preparing for Apocalyptic Change

2008-07-29T22:48:00.003-05:00

One really can't prepare for the kind of change that happened to me as a result of the Operation I was planning to undertake late in September of 2007. I thought I knew what to expect, and that the added alterations to my daily schedule would be more than satisfactory. I had started a high-protien diet in July, along with a significant increase in the amount of water I was drinking (from approx. 12 ounces a day to 80 ounces a day -- this was to help wash out any toxins in my system).

I had also increased my physical activity as much as possible (which is limited because of my back and foot injuries). However, I was able to start walking in my yard, up to 3 or 4 laps around the fence (approximately 1.2 miles). Not bad on a 'bum' foot. The huge chunk of titanium in my back prevented me from doing push-ups or hitting the heavy bag, but I was able to do curls and other arm exercises with light weights (under 15 pounds). All I can say is repitition man, repitition . . .

So, by mid-September I felt I was up to the task of the 8 days I had planned (see previous post for an outline of the complete Operation). After all, it was only a few rituals and some lengthy skrying sessions; that shouldn't be too much, should it ?

As it turned out, no amount of preparation could have readied me for what transpired. I could tell after skrying Aethyr 16 (LEA - El-Ee-Ah), that the energy of the sessions was exponentially greater than any I had conducted thus far.

But, I'm getting ahead of myself; I told you I would relate to you some of my 'experiences' during my skrying sessions. The first I wish to tell you about is the first session I undertook -- that of Aethyr 25, VTI (Vee-Ti-Eye).

This is where we will pick up next time . . .

I thought it might be appropriate to post a more recent photo of myself. This is me at home in front of my computer. My chihuahua "Pixie" is asleep on my lap, but you can't see her (she's under the blanket).

Next, I will begin telling the story of my journey thus far . . .

Coming Back . . .

I can't believe it's been almost a year since my last post. A LOT has happened in the past 10 months, so it will take me some time to categorize it, summarize it, and format it for viewing. But, I'm going to attempt to do just that in this blog in the coming days and weeks.

The BABALON working was almost too much for me - the process nearly cost me my life. But, as I said on Abracadabrah.com, I'm alive, and I didn't blow up my house . . .

Much more to come soon.

Peace to you all.

BABALON Working, Part II

2007-09-09T06:36:00.001-05:00

The time has finally arrived for the second part of my BABALON Operation. The first part of this Operation took place back in May of last year (an outline of which I posted on the OSDL Forum). This is part of that post:

This series of Eight Operations was developed as an Initiation (for Seer I.A.O.*) to the grade of Magus, 9^o=2^o. The following Aethyrs are integral to the substance of this working.
VTI -- lion-like female
POP -- BABALON as High Priestess
LEA -- BABALON and the Beast (part 1)
OXO -- the Rose Cross; sexual energies
LOE -- BABALON and the Beast (part 2)
ZIP -- daughter of BABALON
DEO -- BABALON as Venus / Ishtar
These 7 Aethyrs have a Gnostic, an Enochian, and a Qabalistic meaning – each of which should be separated and elaborated upon in order to complete the Operation. This is not as difficult as it sounds at first; remember, there are 3 meanings, and each Aethyr has 3 regions (decans) over which 3 Governors are placed.
Further, the above 7 Aethyrs are done, one each day, for 7 days. A day of rest is taken on the eighth day. On the ninth day, a detailed and comprehensive working of ARN is performed, by invoking the 4 Spirits of Spirit (EHNB, HNBE, NBEH, and BEHN). These ‘entities’ are absolutely essential to the proper completion of this rite, since the ‘entities’ give the practitioner total authority over the 3 Governors of ARN – DOAGNIS, PAKASNA, and DIAVOLA.

The second phase of this Operation is a "group effort," so to speak, in that as many of the members of the OSDL will be involved as possible. In order to accomplish this (without actually forcing members to travel to the Aethyrs in question) a special Rite has been constructed, associating appropriate Tarot images with the Aethyrs in the Operation.

VTI -- High Priestess (Moon)
POP -- Magician (Mercury)
LEA -- The Empress (Venus)
OXO -- The Sun (Sol)
LOE -- The Tower (Mars)
ZIP -- The Wheel (Jupiter)
DEO -- The Universe (Saturn)

The "appropriateness" of these images will become apparent during the Operation. As each participant will come to recognize, there is a deeper meaning to the Tarot images than is readily apparent (meanings not covered in the Introductory Tarot Class); eventually, 'new Pathways' of Understanding will open for each of the collaborators (but, this may take some time -- perhaps weeks -- for these 'new Pathways' to develop).

More information about this Operation will be posted in a few days.

Love and Light for a Peace Profound,

Updated Projects

2007-09-03T20:15:00.001-05:00

I've been working like a fiend trying to get all my 'projects' up to date. I'm happy to say that I've made great headway - I'm sorry to say that none of my projects are really ready for "public viewing."

The work on the New Tarot and modified Tree of Life (Qabbalistic) is nearly complete, but I don't have any art-work to accompany the manuscript to the publishers. The work on the Dark Pathways Tarot (and the "Tree" that goes with it) is coming more slowly; but it is proceeding well. It is an area that someone like myself (a traditional RHP Magician for over 30 years) finds a little intimidating and quite "intense" at times. But, Pathworking is Pathworking and the symbolism of the LHP is not completely 'alien' and outside my 'frame of reference.'

One of the issues that has plagued me over the past few weeks is how to share my LHP work with the members of the OSDL. To say that it will completely alter their perceptions of me is a profound understatement. Some of them may feel I have lost command of my faculties. But, it seems (from MOAMO, and others) that, in order for the OSDL to be a truly 'balanced' and 'complete' Order it must incorporate some of the LHP into its educational framework. Perhaps I need to speak to Frater Yechidah about this; maybe he won't be as negatively disposed toward the idea as I anticipate.

That's all for now. I have more to share, but another venue might be a better place to share it.

Best Wishes for a Peace Profound,

Abrah Neshamah, B.A., M.D., F.R.C.

Things Metaphysical

2004-09-12T19:32:00.000-05:00

My usual companion in the world of Enochian spirits is HIPOTGA (Hee-poh-teh-gah). He is the Saturnian Senior of Air and has proven to be trustworthy and quite personable (though one has to be VERY careful not to anthropomorphize these entities). After much interaction with him over a period of several months, he introduced me to another entity, LEVAXRP (Lev-artz-ahr-peh), the Lunar Senior of Water. It was this beautiful being who began giving me these messages.

The messages themselves are meant for all people, but everyone won't understand them. There are many who aren't interested in things metaphysical. Oh, they claim to believe in God, but they want a God who lives in some remote corner of the universe and will NEVER bother them or even "register on their radar." It's as if they want to make sure that they "hedge their bets" and claim faith; but they definitely aren't interested in a faith that changes lives -- at least not THEIR lives.

So, while the Angels are speaking to all of us in these messages, many of us will never hear their words. No, most people are only interested in making sure they have the latest I-Pod, and that God leaves them alone. But, Angels are messengers, that is what their name means in both Greek and Hebrew. And it is their purpose in life to bring us information. Some people think that they stopped doing that 2000 years ago. Some of us happen to think that they HAVE been bringing us information, but like so many today, we just haven't been listening. Many Angels have been talking today,telling us something of deadly importance, and it is time we started listening.

This is a casual picture of me while reading Tarot for a friend.

The Beginning

2004-09-11T15:39:00.000-05:00

I suppose many of you think that the title of this Blog is rather pretentious. I agree; however, I do ask that you read this series of posts. The messages that I am going to post here will be mine in small measure only. I am the scribe for entities far beyond my ken.

Another question on your mind is "WHY?" Why would I print such messages as these, exposing myself to ridicule and derision. The answer is that I was told to make these "public." I am a member of an Angelic (Enochian) Order, dedicated to the Great Work, and the preservation and betterment of mankind. Publishing these messages from the Angels will help to fulfill the ends set before us.

Stay with these messages for a while, and then judge them for yourself. You may decide that I'm not crazy after all. I know you will be surprised, and after that, you may see, as I did, the TRUTH.
