-- interlude --

Their were II spirits of Space, one was a Sword and the other an Eye, they were twins and hence, One.

A Crab who held the key for all Martians there was, and two Rams.

One Ram held the Crab, and by possessing it put on the armor of the Egyptian Horus. Strong for the journey across the void, and back and forth did the first Ram go at his pleasure having put on the wings.

The other Ram tried to possess the Eye, and unknowingly the Sword intervened, for they are Twins. This other Ram had left the Fishes, both of whom loved the Ram dearly, in a quest to possess the Eye.

The Fishes consulted with the First Ram and the Crab.

The Eye pretends it doesn't know the Sword is there, and both of them being Space, the second Ram was kept grasping at something that wasn't really there. This hurt the Fishes, who blamed the Twins.

So the First Ram armed as Horus in the shell of the Crab, took up to fight the Sword with his Two Horns, one short and one long.

The Second Ram thought the First to be fighting against him, and so offered anger and subtle subterfuge in return, the Eye seeing all and playing along, pretended the Sword does not exist.

The Eye offered pain and loneliness, and with Two Horns did the First Ram fight. The Eye, seeing the First Ram fighting with the Sword, believed the Ram to be fighting in its name, but also knew that somehow the Ram was fighting against it, by way of engaging the Eye's twin, the Sword.

When the Short Horn finally held at bay the Other Ram, and the Long Horn swiftly neutralized the Sword, the first Ram staring directly into the Eye declared, "I am Fighting for the Fishes!".

The Horns fell away, and the knight lifted up his visor and from behind the Crab Armor their was only void and laughter ...

The End

First Things First

How does one become, or even decide to become a Magician?

Even though Magicians can do things like 'cast spells' or 'enchantments', create 'talismans' and explore other worlds in the 'body of light' ... this is not what being a magician is about. Those things are properly titled 'sorcery', and even though a Magician may utilize such techniques, this comes from cross-pollination, and has no bearing on what is really important to the Magician.

A Magician is concerned with one thing, and one thing only. This is called the 'Magnum Opus', or 'The Great Work'. The Magnum Opus is a process of self-perfection. While it can be stated that all human beings are experiencing this self-perfection through the natural evolutionary current of Nature herself, a Magician applies his or her energies to the most rapid completion of this work possible. In Western Alchemy around the time of the Modern Enlightenment, this was known as turning Lead (or 'first matter') into Gold.

If we look at the generally accepted definition of Yoga from Swami Vivekananda (who informed the great Aurobindo through dream transmissions while Aurobindo was imprisoned), we find that Yoga is "a means of compressing one's evolution into a single life, or a few years, or even a few months of bodily existence." There is no better way to define the Magnum Opus than this, which also happens to be the truest definition of the Eastern Practice of Yoga.

This is very important and requires careful attention. There are many would be Mages out there who get so involved in watered down and incredibly primitive Western Paradigms, who have no real understanding that the aims of Magicians and the Ancient Vedantics and Yogins and Taoists and Buddhists and thereby Martial Artists, are absolutely and precisely the same thing. Many Magicians will disagree and debate me on this point, and as much as I respect their opinions and perspectives as true, I also recognize them as partial and therefor wrong in terms of an Integral Interpretation of Magick ... but I digress ...

The first thing a True Magician finds himself doing, is devoting himself to his own self-perfection or God-Realization. Being a Magician in the West is therefor no different than being a Yogin in the East. This was Aleister Crowley's fundamental gift to the paradigm and culture of Western Magick. By basing his system of Magick on the success of meditation (samadhi), he shewed without a doubt that these currents, while wildly different in expression (as East and West usually are), are fundamentally searching for the same source and summit of attainment.

Coming across Magicians who are concerned with nothing further than evoking demons or angels, or using Magick to attack others or somehow meta-physically gain material benefits in their life, one should simply laugh and move on. Its not that these things aren't possible; in fact all of the above is easily accomplished for a Magician; its just that these kinds of sorcery are rarely needed, if at all, in the life and times of a True Magician involved in the Magnum Opus.

I was in my early twenties when I completed my first Magickal Operation. Devotion or realization of the Magnum Opus is always the first successful act of Magick for a Magician. It marks the moment of true adulthood in life. It also marks the moment when Magick took over my life. Raped me as it were, and demanded that I walk the path I was put on this earth to walk. Everything that has happened and continues to happen after that is easily seen as occurring within the limitless and ever-present scope of the Magnum Opus. Many Magicians will consider this as false and self-limiting ... however this is actually a reflection of their own false and self-limiting paradigms ... a fundamental misunderstanding of the ever-present nature of the Magnum Opus.

The Magnum Opus by nature is beyond ego. The Ego, or self, is a component to the Magnum Opus, and the Magnum Opus is that; from the perspective of the self; which is living you right now. You, as an ego or self, are being lived by the Magnum Opus right now. Being a Magician is about accepting this, and cultivating the Genius through evolution which can recognize and participate in the Magnum Opus.

The moment I devoted myself to the Magnum Opus was the moment the adventure of my life truly began. The cycles and spirals of time and evolution ceased to be as rigid as I had grown up believing, and the feeling of destiny I had lived with for so long, while remaining real, became squarely my responsibility.

That is what the Magnum Opus essentially is; the acceptance of responsibility for one's deeper purpose, and the offering of the gifts that are essential to the fulfillment of one's life. Beyond the clench of your fear, beyond the practical considerations of one's life, the Magnum Opus and the realization of it, is the one underlying current of the life of the Magician. All else is play.

Introduction

I am a Magician. The kind of Magician that is mythologized and fantasized in books. I'm the real deal. Magick is very much different than what you may have been led to believe. In fact, Magick is much more real than what you may have been lead to believe.

In the year 2009, the world is on the teetering brink of a new emergence. Children of special quality have been coming to the earth for some time now. Super Sensitive and possessed of natural bullshit detectors, we the Indigo/Crystal/Star Born Humans have come to this earth to ease it through this transition.

First and foremost we are Healers. As healers, we are lovers. As lovers, we are deeply confused most of the time. This is where Magick comes in. The Superpowers that are developed through the art of Magick are not the reason for doing or learning Magick. In fact, when this artistic science is approached with a mind drunk for power, the only thing received are small powers, and bigger problems.

Being a Magician is the greatest of responsibilities. A Magician who has picked up the Magnum Opus is sworn by destiny to complete the work. The Magnum Opus is a mighty and terrible thing to approach, until the consciousness is first annihilated and reconstructed...


You may be asking or saying to yourself something like, "First of all, this person is a whack job, and secondly, why in the Uni-Verse would someone want to 'annihilate' their consciousness"?


This is an excellent question, and one I will have to let you figure out for yourself. I will say only that consciousness annihilation, or formless absorption, is the way up. If one survives the way back down, one can then freely understand and utilize the meaning of the phrase 'the way up is the way down'.

A Magician who has attained this growth can be rightly considered an Adept. Freely moving along the entire spectrum of consciousness, without actually having a 'me' anywhere along the path. This is also the way of the Tao. This takes careful study and consideration, and some years of work; hopelessly meandering on the Magickal Path, until finally being smote by the lightning bolt of realization.


There is more to Magick than Consciousness Annihilation, its just that a magician is not possessed of any real Magick Power until this initial operation is constituted. The fear of death mucking up the miracle working every single time ... yes I said Miracle Working. Miracles are very natural, this also demands careful study and attention if one really wants to have the power to do anything.

Further on Miracles ... once the Magician is possessed of the power to do anything, the Magician finds that he is constrained by his commitment to the Magnum Opus, the commitment which possessed the Magician of the power to Transmute anything into anything in the first place. This constraint, in actuality not a constraint from the perspective of the Magician in this Divine Possession, means for the Magician that in every moments arising, moment to moment to moment, there is only one action perfectly aligned with that which is beyond the moment of consciousness annihilation. A real Magician does this thing every time.


Christ was a Magician.


Everything I share in this blog is real. I am a real person. I live in Harlem. I live a real life with pain and suffering, frustrations, and above all, love. Essentially, my way is the way of love. The pure way of love, love liberated by any means necessary, whether they be viewed as fair or foul, or wisdom or folly by the consensus reality that may likely never understand the work it has been given us Magicians to do in the world at this time.

I am a Magician, I live in Harlem, I talk to Angels. I can control and possess for my own use any spirit or Demon from this world or any other. The reality of Angels is much more present, real, terrifying to ego, and powerful than any lesser spirit or Demon could ever be. Getting the Angels of the Lord to do your bidding is the blackest of all Magicks. Becoming the Lord, the realization of soul (i.e. consciousness annihilation), puts these Angels at your command. The difference is astounding and requires careful thought and attention. Magicians are notoriously falling into Narcissism, which is easily done when the true powers of Angels flood as light into the energy body and reformulated consciousness of the Magician. In the strictest sense, Magick is Yoga.

This is not Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings. This is real.


I am a Magician, I live in Harlem. And this is my story ...
