The fourth Mutational Alchemy meeting (correctly called a symposium, since we drink and philosophize at it) is going to be held in honor of the Hidden Paths Diamond, and promises to be one of the best discussions  yet.  Even if you are only vaguely familiar with the Sephiroth (and it is suggested you do familiarize yourself with it before arriving) you shall get quite a lot out of this exciting topic.

In the book of the law, Nuit, the sky and star goddess states, “the ordeals I write not: the rituals shall be half known and half concealed: the Law is for all.”  She goes on:  ”Nothing is a secret key of this law. Sixty-one the Jews call it;  I call it eight, eighty, four hundred & eighteen. But they have the half:  unite by thine art so that all disappear.”

There seems hidden in this passage a set of instructions for the process of accomodating the edict that “Every Man and Every Woman is a Star”. Between the House of the Tree and the House of the Star is the Diamond, which perfects the tree by infusing it with tremendous energy otherwise impossible for the Tree by itself to attain. The Word of Perfection is also encoded into the Hidden Paths diamond, thus it is capable of both Binary and Ternary operations in Sigil Magick. It is closely associated with the 16 square Kamea of Jupiter, and the 16 binary tetragrams as it has 16 paths.

Although some have pointed at the Hidden Diamond at our art shows next to its partner of the Tree of Life and called it the “Tree of Death”, this is a misnomer. The Qlippoth and or the Nightside Tree are completely different doctrines, the Qlippoth is the doctrine of the shells, it has to do with what was left over at the creation of the universe. (Think of  a broken egg from which a serpent or chick has emerged)  However, having said that, there is a connection between the Sephiroth themselves and the Hidden Diamond but the fact that the paths are hidden does not connect them to the Tree of Death –  especially consiering their coherent imagery, which is not broken – it is not a shard.  People are overly fixated on the Qlippoth right now but not everything not inherent to the Tree of Life is Qlippothic. The structure of the diamond is also not tree like at all, so suggestions that it is the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil are wrongheaded at best. It’s more in the genre of the merkabah than the tree. It does in fact elevate us, and this elevation moves us towards the star principle.

The Hexagrammal Fields which unite Macrocosm and Microcosm are a Star Property, and the diamond is a property of the Tree which helps us form a bridge or stepping stone towards the Star. So it is very important to us in the predicament we find ourselves today as humans, and will continue to be important for hundreds of years til we all “grok it”.

The Diamond, representing the banners, with its 16 paths (4×4=16)  stands behind the Twinstar, representing the more complex and lofty hexagrammal fields.  Both are astonishingly housed within Abrahadabra as pictured.

I can feel the Body of Light you talk about, as a magnetic field. I hear it as a singing sound. I can visualize it as a starry light arcing out along the magnetic field around me. I cannot harness this and turn it into something useful to me directly. I may be doing it but it’s all so chaotic and runs right through me. If I try to grab it it slips away and I am not sure if I’m doing it right. I often hit buttons and my body jerks suddenly in response to the direction the energy takes, but it’s so clumsy. What is the next step for me? I read Mutational Alchemy 001 002 and 003.

Mutational Alchemy is at root just like any other practice, as a matter of fact it is the prime and sum of most if not all of them. So my standard answer in this regard has always been – sit down, shut up, and breath.

This may seem like a overly simplistic answer, but to achieve the basics requires big time discipline. Before one goes a mucking about in the body of light, it is good to get a sense of it first.

Sit Down: Start by finding an asana, it can be a half or full lotus, seated in a chair, lying down or doing the friggin’ splits if that works for you. Although I recommend a ground style seated position. It should be a symmetrical or ‘balanced’ shape putting the spine in a natural vertical curve. Good posture is a big thing. Mind you, finding the position isn’t hard – holding it is. The trick is to be completely still, and that can take a long time to master. The subconscious will rise up with all the little bodily annoyances. Itches, cramps, ticks – you name it. Anything to get you to move. You have to train the body to be still.

Shut up: Quiet the mind. No humming, no chanting, and NO internal dialogue. learn to STFU!! And going LA LA LA LA in your head doesn’t count.

Breath: The art of breathing is the gateway to the autonomic functions. Steady rhythmic breathing to calm the heart rate; to focus the mind on in order to quiet it; good oxygen flow to avoid cramping. There are many patterns, but the basic 4 count is the best place to start. Use a metronome of some sort – do not use your heart at first until it has been ‘ tuned’ – there are some nature sounds you can use, but try to avoid music at first, it can be a distraction.

After you can do these three very simple, and at first very difficult things, the body will go into ‘autopilot’ allowing the consciousness to unfold. After that it is a matter of awareness and exploration. Study the classic positions of chakras, acupressure points, major nerve centers and organs – along side shapes depicting the light body like the Tree of Life and the Tetractys – and map out what you are feeling. Once you have a handle on what is around/within you, then you can become more proactive about things and start making shifts and alterations. Actively becoming the Mutant that you are meant to be.

The Body of Light is much more then just an electromagnetic field, yet it is that as well. It is the principles that shape us as life and energy – that which keeps the EM field and the atoms it contains from flying apart into chaos; and our connection out of our little bag of bones into the rest of the universe.

In closing this little primer I would offer an analogy based upon your description of how it feels: Before you go ripping out onto the track in that brand new Corvette, sit in the driver’s seat a little and feel the car out. Study the controls, rev the engine – test the brakes – check your mirrors. Get comfortable. THEN put it into 1st and roll out ( Working the TwinStar Tantric Exercises) . Like any vehicle if you try to start in a higher gear first, you will sputter and stall. And try not to grind the gears; meaning that instead of trying to get to a fast count of repetitions of whatever tantric exercise – take your time and get the lines as straight as you can, and really feel the shape of what you are vibrating out from your 5th chakra. Accuracy=speed.

And in the end, if all this doesn’t work – just push the big red button in the middle of the dash – the one marked PURE WILL.

By the way, whatever you do – don’t push the big red button in the middle of the dash!

Unless you just can’t help it…

Ciao.
