Magister Templi (8°=3□) Papers - 2

 Part 2 of my Grade of Magister Templi observations. Goodbye 'Ratio' The Golden Dawn tradition assigns the development of the Astral Body to the Adeptus Minor grade, but in my opinion this is fully achieved in the Magister Templi grade. Maybe, the terminology used is different among different schools, or I am mistaking my Initiation with a higher one. Also, it appears some authors attribute Astral body to basic emotions, while others describe something resembling Buddhic body. In any case, I have, for the first time in my life, found myself completely at odds with 'Reason' and 'Rationality'. My progress towards achieving my True Will could not proceed further unless I actively separated myself from the critique of appearances. Such level of alignment with the Cosmic Consciousness replaces all material, emotional, ethical (morality and justice), and social considerations of the individual will. Identifying and belonging to a Spiritual Stream, represented under di...

Fishing for Souls: The Sociology of Magic

Opinion about the sociological aspects of Magic.

Fishing for Souls

In the previous post, I have offered my opinion on the Qliphoth being the 'Yang' of Consciousness, unconquerable and unintelligent. The Narcissistic human is an affected copy of an authentic person. He seeks affirmation, cannot ever be satisfied, and can do malice because of envy. Now, the Magician needs to understand these facts well not to get utterly desperate about the prospects of his power. He should bear in mind that Narcissism will present an attractive trap, an interesting but deadly puzzle. I hypothesize that Chaos keeps being fed through the theft of libido from the Magician. The Narcissist weaponizes his underdeveloped ego to create crevices on the Magician's ego to free up libido for his own greed. There is a following and hierarchy among narcissists, which makes them a community of some sorts. Now, the Magician's first duty in the Path is to cease all contact with the Chaos lot. He should spare all his energy for himself and seek the Virtuous Path of Yetzirah, i.e. a directorship of the mundane drama.  Hence, the Magician shall embark on the 'Fishing for souls', thereby seeking the virtuous and avoiding the immature. It is very important to note that outward signs such as morality, IQ, habits, manners, etc. cannot consistently define Chaos characters. The only signal is the red flag the Magician's Spirit raises, and the subsequent relief when this red flag is honoured. The Magician shall not seek any rationalization of his gut feeling, and carefully and courteously avoid Chaos.

Theses

-
 I am now in a position to state some important Theses, thereby propose an update to our Ethics. Family and Education Love is a palliative cure. We need Love in our Society because of the many conditions that cannot be treated. It is not yet possible to bring humanity into harmony. There are also health conditions and conditions from birth, that can be prevented only in the next Aeon through the use of Mind techniques.  We place a lot of emphasis on the ideal Family which is a source of love and understanding for the family person. This is not a strong position due to two factors. Number one is that many people are not interested in loving their family members. They find themselves in a family system through confusion or coercion. They may not have the strength to accept that they are interested in family. This can lead to abusive and controlling family structures as a means to protect the integrity of the person who did not want family in the first place. The second problem i...

 My experience of the Magister Templi grade. 1- Binah energy The Magister Templi primarily resides in the sephirah of Binah, which means his perception for the Mysteries is opened up. He will often be occupied by charting the maps of influence, dynamics of manifestation, and the entry point of the Divine Will. He will be able to comprehend the shrouded halves of psychoanalysis, sociology, and political philosophy, because the secret half is hidden in the experience of the Supernal Triad. This creates a certain thirst and satisfaction of exclusivity in the Aspirant. The fuel and throttle of the engine of Man are the secret forces that the Magister Templi can align with and study in seclusion. 2- Inevitable action The Magister Templi is often claimed by the Force, which is the Path of 'The Magician' that connects Binah to Kether. In this sporadic experience of the Ipsissimus consciousness, the Magister Templi practices the notion of inevitable action. In this semi-hypnotic trance...
