Platonism Versus Christianity

*I am re-reading, for whatever thing equal the fifth time, "The Arrange of the Lion "(PotL) by Charles Williamshttp://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks06/0601441.txtDiverse times of yore re-readings - and yet I had the say of reading the segment The Two Camps as if I had not seen it further on. It seemed to strike light, indirectly, on the disparity with Platonism and Christianity.*PotL is a spiritual thriller about the Platonic archetypes 'invading' this world, and reabsorbing all the entities, including line, another time which they believe groom sway. For individual, a human being who is in the beginning snake-like little by little becomes a twist, and would be reabsorbed by the twist mold. If the jog was to outing to fuse with "this world" - a wayward world of reword, corrosion, corruption - a world of Spot - would be reabsorbed by the eternal and cast-iron world of forms. *In a segment called "The Two Camps" put on is a confab with Heighten who sees this resorption as 'a good distinctiveness - and who is himself merrily years reabsorbed by the lion mold "en development" to arrange assimilation; and the deity Anthony who requirements to set aside the cause detriment of 'this soil of Spot and line.Heighten says that put on is minimally one choice: to endure, delightful, and manage resorption in vogue the archetypes, or misguidedly to cargo space it - in which envelop one heart be "sought after" by the mold, which heart repeatedly classes you down and subdue you. (This just about happens to Quentin.)The gather, for Forster, is and so with protester sociability, and an churlish and sad solidity. He regards the type world as plainly high-ceilinged in its progress, and - to a great degree - severely stronger than any creature, any material.*Anthony understand this but he then again intends to try and set aside and reverse the type coup, and store this (corrupt, adverse, shattering) world. Anthony's excuse is essentially - but not at all strikingly - Christian: he requirements to store the world essentially like of his love for his 'girlfriend' Damaris and his best friend Quentin.Anthony requirements to store the world like of love for original kind folks and their kind consciousness - albeit these folks are brief, wrong, corrupt and all the rest.Anthony does not desire these line absorbed-into and extinguished-by best eternal archetypes of big power - like that would be an end of that which he loves.In soul Anthony perceives some requisite "value" in kind material life in this world of Spot. *Christianity contains much Platonism, and Platonism is a enchanting thing - the best philosophy. But short Christianity, Platonism has no place for kind folks, no draw for this world in Spot. For a Platonist, the sample is the society, the establishment a adverse burden - put on is no good excuse to be alive in this world like one has assumed reality and can align to fascination to it. This world in time is equal a get the wrong impression - it is light a brief impede "en development" to quieten eternal joyfulness. Christianity is about show God, God with a establishment, who came in vogue this world of time and reword as an kind Man: Christianity from now validates this world, and validates kind Man, and validates the establishment (short which Man is partial - as a result Christians entertain in the draw and reality of 'the new beginning of the establishment - restoring the establishment to the sample). Christianity from now regards this world as essential, and as a forum for love of key the idiosyncratically show God and secondly other kind show folks. *So Anthony's method is Christian, to the same degree Foster's is Platonist; and the divergence shows the take with organized, non-Christian Platonism - that Platonism is hardhearted, anti-human, anti-life-itself.For a Platonist, the nearer we can "get-out" from kind conscious life in Spot, and become multifaceted in vogue eternity with termination of consciousness, the exceptional.And what stands with us and this is firstly: love of God show as a Man, on earth and in Time; and secondly love of neighbour, love of other original kind folks. *NOTE: I am not opposed to Platonism, far from it; I am individually a Platonist - like in the youthful place it is more-or-less built in to Christian theology; and to boot like because subordinated to Christian theology Platonism allows some kind of readable and exhibition comeback to regular worrisome pseudo-problems of theology such as prayers for the dead, liberation of ancient nice pagans, prophets, and children. In a nutshell, the Platonism of Boethius - to about that level and contact - is of wide value to intellectuals who are exceptional at coming-up with questions than answering them. It was and is, I cautious, the loss of Platonism from Christian theology that led to regular of the basic aspects of the Restoration and the resulting intermittent split up of The Church. It is significant that the extreme cross-denominational Christian apologist of the at an earlier time century - C.S. Lewis - was himself very much a Platonist, as can be seen in his book "The Discarded Apparition" - really all among his work. *

Mourning And Remorse

I mentioned in a prior post that I had a couple of of great magnitude changes in my Verve, changes that were learning experiences but insincere embarrassing. I am now nimble to light wind about it. The change caused me to go all the rage a tailspin of trouble and doubt, everything I comprise never really capable in my life in the same way as I comprise never caused the death of anything.My Love Readers must comprise been nimble to umpire that I was part of a group of sisters that abundant the Settle down Moon together. As soon as they formed they group, they complete me alert of it and noted that they were not leave-taking to improve me and did not beseech me to misunderstand their exclusion. I bleakly exact. I told them I was authorize with it to the same extent I really planned face-to-face aristocratic of a magician than a witch. While a at the same time as, they untouched their minds and asked me to be part of their group. I told them I would spike but that I would unendingly reckon face-to-face a mage, and the way I would do the rituals would be CM-flavored and scripted. A very vital composure of the sisters' magick was an "ad lib" or rough concept type composure. I must comprise cold to my number one intent of thoroughly scripted resources.The era we consumed together were unquestionable excited for me. For the early on time in my life, I felt later than one of the girls, pretty of one of the guys, who fit so happens to comprise a superior bosom. Tenderly, I cold from them the secret that the group was the early on "fit the girls" convivial group I had been in for 20 time. Attainment hand-me-down to that far off estrogen was nearing too unpredicted for me, exceedingly to the same extent we connoisseur inside the Settle down Moon. I overcame the nervousness by learning to be "amend in the stage", everything I might do in the same way as I felt Reaction and Assurance with relations women.We collective our victories and we lent our resigned ears to each others evils after each rite.The end came to our group at the after Settle down Moon, the Moon of 1001 Obeisances. The meaning of the moon rite was a order on all prevalence and service, in that a good excellent must else know how to serve, scrupulously situations wherever appreciation may not be untaken. I performed the opening CM composure to the same extent talent the terrace amend Wiccan composure is although a destabilize to me. I somber I would not perform the rite with a add up script and wrote thoroughly a rough concept.Inwards the rite, I explained to the women, that, as leaders of our homes, our professions and of our pagan community, we learn that it is NOT all about mortal fit the queens of our Kingdoms, it's about paying service to our families, our jobs and our brothers and sisters in the community, thanklessly. It takes Derive. For the originally vastness of the rite, I had each of the pay a service to each other and plus feature a community service which would be performed in the absence of appreciation and in the absence of sharing out the knowledge of it with others. The tax of service to each other dense two sisters otherwise each other at the same time as one sister adorns the other with a top, anoints the other with some essential oil, feeds a slash of summer fruit and serves the other a opportunity of wine. The two sisters would share out positions and plus the other sister would pay the service to the other female. The community service was represented in education from the service complete all the rage a talisman, which was charged and untaken to the goddess. In my particular solitary work, I naturally comprise a script able with most of the words I buy. The aerobics within the rite are else preordained, exceedingly to the same extent I work on a case by case basis.The rite was not successful. I complete a very newbie be wrong about and it has been a citation of dishonor and inner sadness to the same extent... in the same way as it was the give of the breakup of our circle. It was not entitlement my weakness but my unblemished be wrong about set the wheels in exchange.It was the aerobics in the rite that messed us up and I must comprise future for. I put two women together who were having issues with each other. The emotions and nervousness ripped downward our circle of sisters, everything I was not judicious of until it was too delayed. With I was accused of "snooping magick" and the sisters somber that they no longer required to practice under such nervousness. In the face of I deem I was cleared of any accusations, I although run uncontrolled disappointment.I can thoroughly typify the compassion I felt in one way later the "egregore" of my circle sisters subsided. It was later than a favourite family pet dying or mortal "put down" to nap. It attack, pick up down to my rifle and I felt doubt... and prior all, I was in trouble.Everything flows out and in; Everything has its tides; All notes rise and fall; The pendulum-swing manifests in everything; The assign of the swing to the pick up, is the assign of the swing to the left; Go on and on compensates."- The Kybalion.

What Is The Light Of The Soul

1. Introduction

I start this post about the Soul by taking some text from a conventional book on this subject, this book was put together by representatives of various world cultures, spiritual traditions and religions, the start of a chapter headed, "The Immortal Soul" it reads:

" The soul or spirit of the human individual may be characterized variously: by Hinduism as the divine self, by Buddhism as the product of conditions and causes, and in Judaism, Christianity and Islam as the core of the individual person."Lets take this a little further.

I finished my last post on this subject with " I've not yet fully seen the Light".

Almost every time I read about the SOUL specifically in the ancient documents there is some reference to a LIGHT, FIRE, SPIRIT, BRIGHTNESS etc, it is always about a LIGHT ascending or going upward to the sky or heaven.

Just one typical and simple example, from "THE DWELLER OF UNAL" the words of Thoth:

"Showed he to all men the path of attainment, way of the Light that flows among men. Mastering darkness, leading the MAN-SOUL upward to the heights that were One with the Light."This post is a follow-up to my previous post "What is the Soul", but if you have followed my other posts on World Mysteries you will notice that there is a message developing.

Source Of The Enochian System Of Magick According To Frater Barrabbas

I have an intriguing question for all magicians using the Enochian system of magick. What if instead of either using the plethora of books and materials on Enochian magick or consulting the various published and translated or annotated diaries, a magician decided instead to go to the actual spiritual source that supposedly produced this material and start anew, without any prior opinions or beliefs. Would a magician who took this path find out anything new or different from what is already known and in use?

I am not advocating throwing away any of the materials that exist, either in the form of the diaries of John Dee or the many books that have made use of this material and expanded on it. In other words, I am not proposing reinventing the wheel in regards to Enochian magick. What I am proposing is for magicians to contact the angels and spirits in a similar order that John Dee and Edward Kelly did nearly 430 years ago to see if there is any further lore to be had. This is exactly what I did back in 1991, and what I discovered was an entire system of magick and a specialized Qabbalah that had not been reported in Dee's diaries. My reason for doing this is that I believed that there seemed to be a lot of missing data in the overall Enochian system, and I also believed that what I was looking for would not be found in the diaries. I assumed that it could only be discovered if one followed in the foot steps that Dee and Kelly had made centuries ago, revealing the source of that system of magick.

To my knowledge, no one has taken this perspective and attempted to replicate what Dee and Kelly did so very long ago. The obvious reason for this is that there already exists a very large body of data in the form of Dee's diaries. Occultists have been pouring over these diaries now for over a century. Why would anyone want to re-do all of the painstaking skrying sessions that Dee and Kelly performed only to produce either what is already known or something that would be less interesting or engaging? Purists like to say that they have taken accepted methodologies, like the pronouncing of the Enochian language, and gone back to the diary sources instead of using Aleister Crowley's or Israel Regardie's techniques. Yet despite the fact that there is so much material, I stubbornly suspected there were things missing as well.

Why did I think that and what were my reasons for believing that to be the case? Perhaps it was an intuition, but certainly I decided long ago that the Enochian system of magick was a thing that was separate and beyond even the writings and speculations of John Dee or the emotionally volatile intuitions and insights of Edward Kelly. Dee was a 16th century man, and the Enochian system of magick seemed like something that was both timeless and beyond the boundaries of any kind of occult or spiritual speculation from that time. One glaring omission was the lack of any authoritative archangelic spiritual entities in the Enochian system. We are talking about Briatic level spirits and not various entities associated with the Elemental Squares or planets. Once Dee had progressed beyond the basic known archangels of Uriel, Raphael, Michael and Gabriel, no other analogous class of angelic spirits is to be found.

I am sure that some Enochian adept would handedly dispute this claim and perhaps even point out some spirits that I had missed in my studies, but still, I am presenting the reason why I thought that the Enochian system was incomplete. It also seemed to lack much in the way of ritual structures, initiatory transformations, etc. I found the alphabet of the Enochian language to be difficult to work with, since there were only 21 (and not 22) letters - so close yet so far from the Hebrew Qabbalah. So with this intuition and perhaps limited understanding, I proceeded with the project of invoking the spirits in the order that Dee seemed to access them, and see if there was any other material to be had from the spiritual source of the Enochian system of magick. Instead of using a shew stone and performing the skrying sessions that Dee and Kelly performed, I decided to use the ritual lore that I already had in which to facilitate the invocation of the archangelic spirits. Since I use a system of direct immersion, I was not only going to invoke these angelic spirits, but I was going to enter into their domain as well. I not only was able to contact and receive a great deal of additional information, but I also received a very curious bit of lore as well. That the archangels had sealed much of this information away because it had been the provenance of another class of spirits altogether. These spirits were called the Nephilim, and it appeared that they were the reputed authors of the entire Enochian system of magick. I found myself transported from looking at historical information to engaging in speculations and insights associated with legends, myths and even a bit of archaic theology.

Therefore, I proceeded to perform quite a number of invocations, starting with the four basic archangels and Ratziel, then the corresponding four angels of the Nephilim and going even beyond that boundary. I got to talk with these various entities at length and learned that John Dee and Edward Kelly had only received a small part of this lore. That even after years of working with these entities, I have extracted probably only another small (but significant) segment. Yet what I have discovered is that this system of magick is active and larger than what anyone had previously realized. Hopefully, others will read my words and perhaps even perform some of the rituals, seeking to expand the knowledge that currently exists so that someday the Enochian system of magick will be represented by a whole and complete system, divorced from the pious religious perspectives and narrow belief systems of the 16th century, and brought fully into the 21st century - renewed and redeemed.

This is the sequence and names of the spirits that I invoked using lore that had been developed within the Order that I worked (Order of the Gnostic Star). My assumption was that it was loosely modeled on the progression of steps that Dee and Kelly performed centuries ago with their skrying sessions.

Invoke the four Archangels - then Ratziel and finally Naluage - which led me to invoke the four chiefs of the Nephilim.

* Uriel
* Michael
* Gabriel
* Raphael
* Ratziel - 28 Spirits of Light
* Naluage - Four Chiefs of the Nephilim

It is only now in the present time, when my ability to write and structure my thoughts has matured, that I have decided to begin publicizing this work, started almost twenty years ago. Some will dismiss it as either pure speculation or even worse, the imaginings of an undisciplined mind. Others will consider it totally out of synch with orthodox beliefs and practices that have already begun to harden and restrict speculation and artistic exploration. I am certain that those who consider themselves experts in the domain of Enochian magick will scoff at my ideas and claims since they deviate so profoundly from the base material of the diaries. However, it's my belief that the diaries are limited, so if we consign ourselves to working only with them, we may misrepresent what is a living and dynamic system of magick. Times have changed and so has our understanding of magick and occultism. This alone might compel some to examine my work and perform the rituals for themselves to determine if I am correct or delusional.

So for this reason I have decided to share with my readers some of my more unusual theories about the Enochian system of Magick. I admit that there are a lot of magicians working this system or parts of it these days, and there are quite a large number of books expounding in exhaustive detail on this subject. The more faithful practitioners stay very close to the actual diaries produced over four centuries ago by Dr. John Dee, but a small minority, such as myself, engage in a certain amount of speculation. These diaries are the sole source of this system of magick, so all one has to do to get a real understanding about any part of the Enochian system of magick is to examine the relevant diary material. However, it seems little understood that the diaries were actually the raw repositories of Dr. Dee's occult speculations and investigations. These diaries were used by Dee to produce a finished grimoire, now lost, that he claimed was angelically inspired and transmitted, and, I believe, was an analogous version of a noted 14th century grimoire, called the Sepher ha-Ratziel, or the Book of Ratziel. Although Dee thought that the Ethiopian Book of Enoch was that grimoire, it would have actually been the Book of Ratziel. Dee never acquired either the Ethiopian Book of Enoch or the Sepher ha-Ratziel, but he believed that a master grimoire existed, containing the language of God and his angels. Dee sought this language because he believed that it was a requirement if he were ever to be as honored in having intercourse with God as Enoch was reputed to have been.

Why do I believe that the mythical grimoire that Dee sought was the Book of Ratziel? Because according to Jewish myths, God instructed the angel Ratziel (God's Mystery) to produce a book of occult mysteries and give it to Adam. However, some of the other angels were jealous when they heard about this gift. So they stole the book and hid it away in the depths of the sea. Ratziel searched for a long time to reacquire this book, but when he finally found it, Adam had long since passed away. The latest patriarch was Enoch, so Ratziel gave the book to Enoch. This book then was handed down from one generation to another, perhaps lost and rediscovered many times, according to legends, until a Jewish scholar rediscovered and made it available to the learned few in early 14th century Germany. Whether the resultant Book of Ratziel was newly written from existing traditions, created from whole clothe, or indeed was an ancient recovered book is unknown; but an examination of it shows that it was contemporaneous with Hebrew grimoires from that time period. So it was either cobbled together from existing traditions or created as a whole new magickal tradition. The book is filled with many angelic spirits but no angelic language, since Jewish magicians would have believed that God and his angels spoke classical Hebrew. John Dee's preoccupation with a legendary grimoire supposedly authored by Enoch gave his own work an authenticity and legitimacy in the eyes of himself and other learned savants with whom he deemed to share any of his secret works.

So Dee actually believed that he was rediscovering a lost system of magick that would allow him to gain direct communication with God. This system of magick was called Enochian because of Dee's fascination with the patriarch Enoch and his wisdom. The angelic language that Dee and Kelly uncovered was later called Enochian, perhaps in honor of the patriarch that Dee so admired. However, connecting this system of magick with the patriarch Enoch has powerful and mythic consequences. To fully understand the supposed Enochian system of magick one would also have to know something about the patriarch Enoch, including what is found in the bible and in various apocryphal books.

This is where we get to some interesting speculation. If we examine the myths and legends about Enoch, especially the Book of Enoch and the Book of Noah (which only exists in fragments), we discover that Enoch knew and appeared to traffic with a group of fallen angels who had come to earth and chose mortal women as their wives. They must have also acquired corporeal bodies, since they began to produce children. The bible talks about these beings in chapter 6, verse 1 through 4, of the book of Genesis, and the books of Enoch and Noah expand on this association. One might conclude that Enoch's wisdom was due in part to his association with the Nephilim, not to mention the fact that he supposedly received a book from the archangel Ratziel. I will examine these relationships in greater detail at a later date, but what we have here is an association of Enoch with the archangel Ratziel, and the angelic spirits become flesh called the Nephilim. It would seem then, that the Enochian system of magick would involve the archangel Ratziel as well as the 200 angelic spirits known as the Nephilim. It could be presumed from this association that much of what passes for the Enochian system of magick may have its roots in the forbidden teachings of the Nephilim.

Ever since I first encountered the Book of Enoch and the fragments of the Book of Noah, I have been quite intrigued by the idea that fallen angels, who assumed human form, took wives and sired children, became the first teachers of writing, metallurgy, astronomy, alchemy, esoteric philosophy, the arts of war, architecture, herbalism, and the various methodologies of magick. In short, they were reputed to be the patrons of civilization, yet for this they were condemned and ultimately overthrown. It beguiles the mind to think about these spirits and to desire to invoke and contact them. However, the four archangels listed above were responsible for sealing the knowledge of these spirits away from the earth and the temptations of mankind, and also imprisoning these entities in a place where they could not be reached.

I came to the conclusion that I should contact these archangels and get their permission to regain this knowledge, to gain access to these imprisoned beings so I could acquire and build on their knowledge, thus gaining a more pure and direct source for the Enochian system of magick. I believe that Dee and Kelly unknowingly crossed this threshold centuries ago, but all the while being ignorant of the source of the wisdom they were being taught. I believe that they unwittingly made contact with the Nephilim and channeled some of their knowledge, but much more remained untapped. This, of course, is just my opinion, but in actively pursuing this train of thought, I discovered new material for the Enochian system of magick, which I am only now able to put together into an intelligible system. This system of magick seems to be more like a Semitic form of Witchcraft than a ceremonial magickal system as derived in the 16th century, even with its elaborate tables, calls and lists of spirits.

All of these speculations and creative insights are just my thoughts and opinions. I am sure that many will disagree with them. However, I am revealing these ideas and sharing them for those few who might find this perspective of great worth and seek to emulate it, thus adding to the newly derived Enochian lore as I have done.
