Sorcery is a deliberate act of causing metamorphoses by the employment of Elementals. It forges a link with the powers of middle nature, or the ether, the astrals of great trees and of animals of every kind. Will is our medium, Belief is the vehicle, and Desire is the force combining with the elemental. Cryptograms are our talismans and protectors. – Austin Osman Spare

Manifested from the frictions between the known and repressed desires of his subconscious, Austin Osman Spare’s sorcery annexed him to power over his SELF, while tuning him in with the realms of incomprehensible beyond. I’ve tried for days to figure out how to describe this man, but when reading over his life, the facts do nothing to ornament who exactly he was…but that’s the deal with A.O.S.

Dressing the Wounded During a Gas Attack by Austin Osman Spare

A.O.S.’s method

An essential part of Spare’s technique lay in deliberate forgetfulness, and this is the part which a novice finds extremely difficult. The reason he gives for forgetting the desire at the time of invoking it lies in the fact that for the operation to succeed the conscious mind must have no inkling of the transaction. Consciously formulated desires take time to materialize; subconscious desires can be made to materialize very swiftly. Consciousness of the desire vitiates the entire process, so a method had to be found of forgetting the desire during the period of magical evocation. Spare called the process “union through absent-mindedness” and advocated the yogic method of emptying the mind of all but the Sigil. This is not always successful so as an alternative he suggests the sigillization of perennial desires, desires that are sure to arise periodically, as for instance the desire for beautiful women. Several such desires are then sigillized, scrambled together, and laid aside for several days. On reassembling the cards upon which they have been drawn, the operator is unable to remember precisely what sigillizes what! The rite is then comparatively easy to accomplish for it requires only concentrated thought.

Yes, he was had a sacred bond with a Salem Witch who initiated him into the Occult. Yes, he is accredited as the originator of Chaos Magic. His life reads both luminous and diabolic. But, there’s an overwhelming tide that washes over his chronicle and drowns it into the depths of didactic irrelevancy. There’s something greater at work. I know it. But I’m struggling to find the right words, because biography just isn’t descriptive enough to define his shape. It’s on the tip of my tongue…

The Seal of the Rosicrucian Rose

Though their true origin is mired in beguiling mystery, many have dated the inception of The Rosicrucians (order of the Rosy Cross) in Medieval Germany during the 1400′s. This occult fraternity of alchemists, philosophers, scientists, astrologers, and doctors were said to have possessed the ancient wisdoms of the Universe passed down from the great Sages of time…the esoteric truths of ancient past. Sworn by oath to keep their knowledge from the masses, including the mastery over the alchemical wonder, The Philosopher’s Stone, The Rosicrucians held the key to understanding the framework of the Universe and the Metaphysical Realm. Their goal? Enlightenment. The shaping of civilization to their will. The “Universal Reformation of Mankind.” This was a cabal of highly intelligent mystics studying under the most esoteric tenets of Hermeticism, Physics, Mathematics, Magic, and Kabbalah. They were out to change the world.

The order of the Rose Croix was first introduced to the world in, The Fama Fraternitatis Rosae Crucis. This 1614 manifesto illustrates the legend of Rosicrucian founder, Christian Rosenkreuz…

This is somewhat of an aberration from the typical subject matter on Foa12P, but I think it applies and definitely worth mentioning!

Linda Stone:

Continuous partial attention describes how many of us use our attention today. It is different from multi-tasking. The two are differentiated by the impulse that motivates them. When we multi-task, we are motivated by a desire to be more productive and more efficient. We’re often doing things that are automatic, that require very little cognitive processing. We give the same priority to much of what we do when we multi-task — we file and copy papers, talk on the phone, eat lunch — we get as many things done at one time as we possibly can in order to make more time for ourselves and in order to be more efficient and more productive. To pay continuous partial attention is to pay partial attention — CONTINUOUSLY. It is motivated by a desire to be a LIVE node on the network. Another way of saying this is that we want to connect and be connected. We want to effectively scan for opportunity and optimize for the best opportunities, activities, and contacts, in any given moment. To be busy, to be connected, is to be alive, to be recognized, and to matter

Hawking in zero gravity

Has anyone been paying attention to Stephen Hawking recently? His latest theories on the nature of Space and Time sound more akin to the subjects discussed here on Foa12P than in Popular Science. From the mind whose legend is amongst Einstein and Newton, who has shaped the way the rest of the world understands the framework of the Universe, these are some radical ideas.

A week or so ago, he affirmed without equivocation in the existence of extra-terrestrials. For as vast as outer space is and as many billion galaxies there are, the probability alone would favor his belief. He’s certain of it.

To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational…The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.”

Sure. Ok. Nothing that chimerical, you may think to yourself. But Hawking then went on to warn humanity against the potential threat he believes aliens may pose to Earth. He speculates that if they did make contact with us, there is a high chance that it would be in the interest of plundering our natural resources for their own depleted and starved planet.

“We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet. I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach. If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.”

Sounds to me like something Zecharia Sitchin would suggest, but this is Stephen Hawking here…the ground breaker of theoretical cosmology and quantum gravity!

An illustration of how wormholes work

At the beginning of this week, Hawking followed up his Alien Pirate theory with another exotic concept…the possibility of time travel. Not only did he emphatically subscribe to the concept, he told us how to realistically build a time machine! But unfortunately this is a one way drive into hyperspace. Illustrating the impossibility of travel into the past, Hawking cites a paradoxical effect which would destroy the portal or wormhole which you would first need to enlarge from their sub microscopic sizes amidst the “quantum foam”.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law

Since I started this column I’ve been on a orchestrated trajectory towards mystic, scholar, philosopher, master occultist, artist, addict and “Wickedest Man in the World,” Aleister Crowley. I couldn’t just dive into all this with the introduction of The Beast 666. We needed to ease into his boiling black cauldron of sex magick and deviance slowly. The truth of the matter is that it would be culturally criminal for me to pose as any sort of qualified instructor of his work. I don’t understand Aleister Crowley…yet. He’s a mind in which one needs a lifetime of study to fully understand beyond the pedestrian level.

From Magick Without Tears:

What is Magick? Why should anyone study and practice it? Very natural; the obvious preliminary questions of any subject soever. We must certainly get all this crystal clear; fear not that I shall fail to set forth the whole business as concisely as possible yet as fully, as cogently yet as lucidly, as may prove within my power to do.

At least I need not waste any time on telling you what Magick is not; or to go into the story of how the word came to be misapplied to conjuring tricks, and to sham miracles such as are to this day foisted by charlatan swindlers, either within or without the Roman Communion, upon a gaping crew of pious imbeciles.

First let me go all Euclidean, and rub your nose in the Definition, Postulate and Theorems given in my comprehensive (but, alas! too advanced and too technical) Treatise on the subject.1 Here we are!

I. DEFINITION:

MAGICK

is the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will.*

(Illustration: It is my Will to inform the World of certain facts within my knowledge. I therefore take “magical weapons,” pen, ink, and paper; I write “incantations”—these sentences—in the “magical language” i.e. that which is understood by people I wish to instruct. I call forth “spirits” such as printers, publishers, booksellers, and so forth, and constrain them to convey my message to those people. The composition and distribution is thus an act of MAGICK by which I cause Changes to take place in conformity with my Will.)

Crowley on the top row, 2nd from the left

I can say this though, I’ve read and re-read…and will continue to re-read much of his work in a state of simultaneous confusion and awe. Though it’s a cryptic, riddling labyrinthine forest of prose, numerology and Hermetic Qabalah reference which I’m not so schooled in, there’s something that I connect with which I really can’t explain. The whole paradox which I stumble through in this attempt at articulation is that one only needs to know this in understanding Aleister Crowley…Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. This master tenet of his religion of Thelema was first introduced in Liber AL vel Legis: The Book of the Law. Written in Cairo over three days for one hour each day, Crowley was merely the vessel in which to dictate the holy words of Aiwass, a supernatural being who had visited him in his room.

Some say Planet X is the twelfth planet in our solar system, and a second renaissance of consciousness will overcome humanity when it returns to our orbit. What else is out there? In this Bloglin segment, we’ll delve into the most provocative theories and findings from the new age. Don’t call them conspiracies…and keep this between us. We don’t want to get tracked down by the New World Order!

In a recent human genome study, it was found that our species is evolving 100 times faster than any other period of evolution. A hyper exponential development is varying humans today from our 100-200 generation old ancestors at the genetic level. John Hawks, the anthropologist who led this study, attributes this supercharged evolution to population growth, agriculture, and resistance to disease.

John Hawks:

“What’s really amazing about humans, that is not true with most other species, is that for a long time we were just a little ape species in one corner of Africa, and weren’t genetically sampling anything like the potential we have now.”

Is positive selection the only attribute to this phenomenon in our civilization? Are we simply the majestic progeny of single celled organisms governed by the law of accelerated returns? The scientific community offer a resounding and unequivocal YES to these questions in their endorsement to Darwin’s Origin of Species…but they never acknowledge that Darwin himself never addressed the origin of the single celled organism (our lead image)…the very first life on this planet. The earliest evidence of single cell life from 3.85 billion years ago had the DNA gene expression system. A fascinating complexity from the beginning. Though attempted to be authenticated by Chemical Evolutionary Theory, this conundrum has yet to be solved. How do you get from chemicals to a living cell?

Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, former geophysicist, college professor and author of SIGNATURE IN THE CELL, advocates Intelligent Design from a scientific angle. In accordance with the evolutionary concepts of change over time or common ancestry, Meyers challenges that life at the cellular level is too complex and intricate to have miraculously appeared from such an enormous improbability. Even the notion that a single celled protein can develop in the equation of cosmology suggests design. This is no Judeo-Christian model…

In 3800 BC, the first advanced civilization arose in Sumeria, appearing to be a spontaneous phenomena of evolution. What was it that after hundreds of thousands and even millions of years of painfully slow human development caused this evolutionary explosion, transforming hunter-gatherer nomads into farmers, pottery makers, mathematicians, astronomers, musicians, judges, and priests? What was the catalyst to this leap which separated Intelligent Man from primate?

Zecharia Sitchin believes the answer lies the Ancient Sumerian tablets’ record of Nibiru. Translating these texts, Sitchin has discovered the existence of a 12th Planet which separated from another distant solar system and pulled into ours. Larger than the size of Earth, Nibiru travels along a 3,600 year long orbit around the Sun. According to Sumerian history, Earth and the Asteroid belt are remnants of a much larger planet, Tiamat, which Nibiru collided with and destroyed as it progressed through its ellipse.

The Fertile Crescent, where mankind was first born in Ancient Sumeria…the main landing site for the Annunaki’s Spaceships.

It was in 3800 BC when Nibiru was last in our solar system and its alien inhabitants, the Annunaki, descended upon Earth, utilizing the Fertile Crescent as their landing site to create a slave race of creatures. By cross breeding their own DNA with the primates found on Earth, the Annunaki genetically engineered Humankind. Our ancestors exalted them as the Nephilim (Nefilim) or “Sons of God” who traveled back and forth from Heavens in their chariots imparting the wisdom of the stars. In this mode of thought, outer space voyaging aliens landed their rockets on our planet and genetically altered our species into intelligent life.

From Sitchin’s book The 12th Planet, the first from his Earth Chronicles series:

…the Nefilim’s own planet, with its vast orbit, has served as a traveling observatory, taking them through the orbits of all the outer planets and enabling them to observe t first hand most of the solar system.
No wonder, then, that when they landed on Earth, a good deal of knowledge they brought with them concerned astronomy and celestial mathematics. The Nefilim, “Gods of Heaven” upon Earth, taught Man to look up into the heavens – just as Yahweh urged Abraham to do.
No wonder, too, that even the earliest and crudest sculptures and drawings bore celestial symbols of constellations and planets; and that when gods were to be represented or invoked, their celestial symbols were used as a graphic shorthand. By invoking the celestial (“divine”) symbols, Man was no longer alone; the symbols connected Earthlings with the Nefilim, Earth with Heaven, Mankind with the universe.

Fear of a 12th Planet is taking a short break this week to regroup! In the meantime take in this MIT radio broadcast regarding the Nazi’s ultimate weapon Die Glocke or better known these days as the Nazi Bell! The Nazi Bell centered around concepts of occultism and anti-gravity, frightening stuff.

Preeminent occult scholar and astrotheologist Jordan Maxwell has been studying the use of a very powerful symbol which has been used to subliminally indoctrinate the masses into the world wide spread of Communism.

THE RISING SUN

Jordan Maxwell’s latest presentation: Dawn of a New Day

Since the beginning of man, The Sun has been used to symbolize life, hope, and a new beginning. It chases away the darkness of the night and lights up the day, representing an spiritual enlightenment of the soul and mind. The optimistic saying of, “The Dawn of a New Day,” is one of the most prominent themes in political campaigns, religion, advertising, storytelling, and collective consciousness. But Maxwell suggests that we may be buying into something completely different than hope and promise — and the shadowy cabal who have integrated this symbolism into modern society have been counting on it since May 1st, 1776.

Defined as “a mental faculty that allows a perceiver (a “viewer”) to describe or give details about a target that is inaccessible to normal senses due to distance, time, or shielding,” Remote Viewing was of great interest to the C.I.A. during the Cold War. In fact, the U.S. Government established and funded its own Remote Viewing and ESP based program in effort to compete with the already existing psi research being done in the USSR and China. Perhaps we could tap into the paranormal to gather information on the clandestine activities of our Communist villains — nuclear facilities, locations of hostages, etc.

This unit continued under US sponsorship until 1986, when the operational and research arms of the government remote viewing program were combined under the leadership of Defense Intelligence Agency, who renamed the program “Stargate.” In 1995, long after the Cold War was over, the DIA terminated the Remote Viewing program; citing “insufficient evidence of the utility of the intelligence data produced.”

Of course all of this research was kept under wraps until Ted Koppel revealed its existence in a Nightline exposé.

The originator of the psychic ability of Remote Viewing, Ingo Swann was the US Government’s leading agent in this field of espionage. His advanced clairvoyant abilities were first discovered in the early 70′s by Dr. Hal Putoff at the Stanford Research Institution. Putoff is the one responsible for bringing Remote Viewing to the Government’s attention.
