"The
Khabs is in the Khu, not the Khu is in the Khabs."
-Aleister Crowley
The most important aspect concerning the discoveries made in the
previous chapter is that they explain key aspects of our ancient
heritage. As was already said, The Book of the Law leads us into
the Great Pyramid with a line drawn at a 26' angle. We are also
led to the Sphinx when the anagram of Bast appears in the book.
This leaves us in the middle of two ancient wonders and right next
to Cairo, the city of Mars. It has already been demonstrated that
Egypt as well as many other aspects of our civilization have fashioned
themselves to serve as a tribute to the planet Mars, but there was
another heavenly body that was held in even higher regard: the star
Sirius.
Shining
as the brightest star in our heavens, the Egyptians based their
entire calendar on the movement of this sacred star. It was already
indicated that he Great Pyramid was built to synchronize with Sirius
so that the star would shine through the hole to the Queen's Chamber
at a precise moment. Esoteric writings indicate that the light shining
through the shaft was meant to impart the starlight of Sirius to
an initiate during a ritual. If Egypt was so fascinated with Sirius,
it stands to reason that the ancient civilization of Mars had a
similar reverence for the star. In fact, the geometric shapes on
the planet Mars have been said to be built in tribute to Sirius.
According
to one legend, the face on Mars was in honor of the god or solar
logos known as Sukon. The Sirians settled Mars through his permission.
He has also been identified as Set or Seth. The reason the Sirians
settled Mars was because it was at that time in the cradle orbit
of life. Taking 720 days to get around the sun would have resulted
in the most preferable weather that was conducive to civilization
at that particular time period.
In The
Montauk Project, it was the Sirians who provided the Montauk chair
used for the time experiments. It was a Mr. X who had approached
me and told me that he had been involved in negotiations to obtain
the chair. This man also told me of Crowley's ability to manipulate
time and was the first to suggest that the Philadelphia Experiment
and Montauk Project were both resulting effects of Crowley's magick.
All of
this is very ironic when one looks yet deeper into Crowley's secret
connections. Crowley was not only involved in the OTO but was also
a member of an arcane secret society known as the A:.A:. (Argenteum
Astrum) or the Order of the Silver Star. The "silver star"
referred to is Sirius itself, the most prominent in the heavens
and positioned as the chief star in the ancient constellation "Phoenix".
The ancient Assyrians and Phoenicians both derive their name from
this legacy.
Crowley
identified the Order of the Silver Star as the Illuminati itself.
As he was considered to be the head of the Illuminati, the correspondences
continue to run even deeper. The heart of his magical current was
inspired from Sirius and there was much tradition to back this up.
In occult tradition, Sirius is the Hidden God or "the sun behind
the sun". As the moon reflects the sun, so does the sun reflect
Sirius. This concept was expressed in The Book of the Law when Crowley
wrote "The Khabs is in the Khu, not the Khu is in the Khabs."
The word Khab means star while Khu refers to light. What is being
taught here is that collective "wisdom" often assumes
that the stars emanate light. The truth of the matter is that the
stars are in the light and are merely reflecting it. It was in this
sense that Crowley and the ancients who worshipped Sirius were worshipping
the light of creation. Sirius was the brightest star, therefore
it reflected the most light and was the most powerful.
According
to the ancient Egyptians, there was a special occult link between
Sirius and the Earth when they were at their closest distance. In
other words, more universal light was being reflected from Sirius
than at any other time of the year. This link was found to be most
powerful during the Dog Days of August (Sirius is known as the Dog
Star) which run from July 23 rd to August 23rd. Some consider them
to peak out as late as September 8th. This aspect of Sirius is very
synchronistic if you remember the theory referred to in The Montauk
Project that the biorhythms of the Earth run every twenty years
on August 12 th. This date is not only the anniversary of Crowley's
wedding, the Philadelphia Experiment and the culmination of the
Montauk Project; it is right in the center of the Dog Days. Of course,
the Montauk chair was supposed to be supplied by the Sirians. Obviously,
if this whole incredible Montauk scenario is true, it stands to
reason that the Sirians might have an idea or two about how to make
a chair that resonates with the consciousness of time.
According
to information from the Montauk story, the Sirians were technical
creatures and were not very political. According to Al Bielek, the
Sirians look very human in some respects. They are muscular but
have vertical slit eyes, like a cat's eyes. They wear a covering
over their hair, and it is suspected that they are bald. Sometimes
they have strange things on their ears which could be communicating
devices. They are approximately six feet in height and can pass
for humans in the proper attire. At Montauk, they were generally
affable and did their job.
Not too
much else has been said about them, nor do I have anything more
to add from that quarter. What is important is that they seem to
have a rather strong correspondence in the information that is being
revealed.
A book
entitled The Twelfth Planet by Zecharia Sitchin documents very well
that Earth has been visited by extraterrestrial critters since time
immemorial. This work traces the activity back to ancient Sumeria
which is exactly where the Sirians settled. All of this not only
places the Sirians at the focal point of our planetary theology,
it makes them a center of all sorts of alien activity.
Crowley
studied this time line at its source when he examined the ceremonial
rites of the Sirians or ancient Sumerians, whatever you want to
call them. In history, these beings were known as the shepherd kings
and they were called the Yezidi. Their prophet was Yezid and Crowley
discovered that he was a reincarnation of him.
As Crowley
studied these ancient Sumerians and their rites, he learned they
were sexual in the extreme and orgiastic. The ceremonies were all
done in synchronization with the stellar revolutions. Many eventually
found-their way into the Roman and Greek mystery schools. These
ancients looked at the primitive urges in a much different way that
"civilized" society does today. Not unlike animals in
mating season, they recognized instinctually that revolutions of
the universe coincided with sexual urges that enabled one to gain
access to invisible worlds or other dimensions. In the Hindu tantric
arts which is known as the yoga of love, these urges would be better
defined as kalas which are units of time or vaginal vibrations.
If one reduces space and time to its male and female aspects, it
is easy to grasp that Mother Nature is going to have undulations
that correspond to the vagina. Earlier in this book, the vesica
pisces was illustrated. This was an eye shaped glyph that resulted
as the second act of creation unfolded. It is not only the shape
of an eye, it is known as the Eye of Horus or as the Eye of Set
(Sirius). When this "eye" is in a vertical position, it
is symbolic of the vagina.
As the
geometry of space and time unfolds in the evolutionary process (which
is known as Mother Nature), there are processes and repetitions
that mimic or harmonize with what we know as the sexual process.
These very energies are incredibly powerful as they make creation
a reality. Of course, the morphogenetic grid is the blueprint that
becomes reality. It is in this manner that the ancient Sumerians
or Sirians did orgiastic rites. They were honoring the undulations
and unfoldments of geometric evolution by linking their consciousness
through the sexual process.
We all
know that we go into a different state of consciousness during the
sexual act. As it is a creation process, it is not hard to relate
that we can then have an effect on creation when in this form of
consciousness. When we engage in sex, we are tapping into the blueprint
that made the whole universe possible.
As Crowley
studied this information, he saw that the ancients understood what
they were doing in their orgiastic rites. Of course, if you were
to walk in on an orgy today, you might find that the procedure has
degenerated into an unholy mess. On the other hand, magical energies
would definitely be present.
All of
this brings us back to Bast, the goddess of witchcraft and sexual
magick in the Egyptian pantheon. If you ever had the urge to do
anything of a bizarre sexual nature, you were entering the realm
of Bast. Who exactly was she?
Often
identified as the Egyptian cat goddess, Bast is one of the most
ancient forms of Babalon, the Mother goddess. Bast is portrayed
as both a cat and lion. As the goddess of sexual magick, she ruled
over lust and sexual heat. It was her job to see that all potentialities
manifested and had their day in the sun. Bast is readily identified
as the Beast because she " presided" over the vast sexual
experiments of Atlantis (and later Egypt) which gave rise to mermaids,
minotaurs, centaurs, Pegasus and the like.
Bast's
legacy gives us at least two words in our modem lexicon. The word
"bastard" was derived from the Pandora's Box that opened
with the unrestricted breeding practices that were common during
her reign. During the reign of the goddess, paternity was not an
issue. Marriage came into being in large part due to the need to
preserve a patriarchal structure for inheritance and succession
purposes. When the father god took over, he made parentage an issue
and punished women who bore children outside of the established
tradition of wedlock. This is not so much a moral issue as a power
issue.
Amazon
cultures were known to be able to breed without the use of a male.
Because the human body is primarily androgynous, a separation of
the sexes is not theoretically necessary for procreation. This contention
about the Amazons is backed up by the fact that the zona pellucida
(the reproductive body in the female which contains a sack) can
be penetrated by a latent male protein within the inherited genetic
structure of the female that the body thinks and treats like a sperm.
This results in a virgin birth.
It could
be argued that the Amazons were unbalanced in the direction of the
female energies. Whether or not that is true is not the point. Their
culture and the general goddess culture of that time period was
supplanted by a patriarchal culture that has attempted to subjugate
women to the most unbearable of conditions. The male forces established
control. Morality was then generated by the power elite of that
particular civilization.
On a
very primal level, the purpose of the female energies is to regenerate
through the sexual organs. This is the gateway to immortality for
the beast or animal form of the species. Only through the female
genitalia can the beast project its image into a future circumstance
and thus obtain perpetual life for his/her kind. Bast symbolized
this and also the idea of uninhibited breeding practices which is
sometimes known as " catting". This is the derivation
of the word "cunt", common slang for the vagina but almost
always used in a derogative sense. This word is so taboo that it
has earned its way onto the "list of seven dirty words"
that cannot be used on television or radio. As you can see, Bast's
influence has no small part in our culture. One can easily see that
the rancor and enmity that generally accompanies the words "bastard"
and " cunt" derives from the ancient criticism of the
culture that was prevalent during the time of Bast.
Crowley's
concept of the Scarlet Woman or Babalon is another name for the
goddess Bast. Scarlet is chosen because it is the color of blood
(also the color chosen for the cover of The Book of the Law). As
stated earlier, blood represents the passage of the moon and the
menstrual period. The lunar calendar is therefore the calendar of
Bast and represents the true time line. This is in direct opposition
to the Gregorian calendar that was given to us by the decree of
Pope Gregory, the same pope who authorized the inquisition.
In regard
to her lunar aspect, Bast's offspring were known as children of
the moon, hence the name moon child. In the previous chapter, Crowley
was identified as the incarnation of the Priest Ankh-af-an-Khonsu
which equates to the Priest of Mentu. As Khonsu also refers specifically
to the moon, Bast can be identified as the Priestess of Mentu with
regard to her lunar aspect. It is in this respect that Bast could
be considered to have presided over the sexual and genetic experiments
that are said to have occurred at Montauk. In what is an amusing
correspondence, there are usually various cats that roam the picnic
area near the lighthouse parking lot at Montauk. They have no apparent
home but are always well fed by the tourists who sometimes take
one home for a pet. These cats are known as the "Montauk Cats".
I was once told that if you follow the cats before a rainstorm,
they will lead you to the underground.
Although
Bast's correspondence with Montauk is a bit obscure, Bast was glorified
in ancient Egypt as the Sphinx. She had the loins of a lion, symbolized
by the constellation Leo and the top half of a virgin woman, symbolized
by the constellation Virgo. The Sphinx had breasts at one point,
but these were defaced as the patriarchal culture established its
foothold. The face was also altered at one point to look more like
a chimpanzee. This desecration of the Sphinx prompts an important
question: why did we get a chimp?
The answer
lies in our genetics. Human evolution on this planet has been primarily
restricted to the biology of the ape. It was said previously in
this book that Rh positive blood refers to the rhesus monkey genetics
being present in the human system. Rh negative implies an alien
blood type. One can also see a resemblance to apes in human beings.
If you don't believe me, just go to the gorilla exhibit at the zoo.
The word
"monkey" itself gives us an interesting play on words.
"Mon" refers to Montu, Montauk or the earlier definitions
provided for that phoneme while "key" refers to the "key
to Montauk". Although there is some contention about it amongst
scholars, "Monkey" derives from the Dutch word monnekijn
which traces back to the Roman word monne, the origin of which is
uncertain. The handwriting is on the wall. Manikan means little
man or an imitation of man. Monne is intimately related to the root
words already covered.
The word
"ape" is said to be borrowed from a Teutonic word yet
there is argument and some say it is really from the Celts. It all
becomes clear when we consult the derivation of the word "
apex". This means several interesting things. It is the highest
culminating point of time and also refers to the vertex of a triangle
or the conical top of a pyramid. Apex strongly suggests the concept
of the Tower of Babalon or the mountain aspect of Montauk. The word
itself derives from tip, specifically referring to the tip of a
flamen's cap. (A flamen was a priest or magician in ancient Rome,
the word deriving from the Sanskrit word brahman.)
Orangutan
derives from oran which means man and utati which equates to forest.
The word oran is Malaysian word which is suspiciously close to Orion.
Chimpanzee derives from "pan" which means all embracing.
It also refers to Pan, the god of the forest and fields. He was
quite sexually active and Crowley wrote a lot of poetry about him.
Gorilla
was coined as a word by the real life Doc Savage based upon a West
African word for a race of hairy women. It is a direct reference
to a genetic specimen that we don't see or hear too much about today.
You can read the book Mother was a Lovely Beast by Philip Jose Farmer
for more information along this line.
The point
of all this is very clear and the phrase "to monkey around
with" takes on a whole new meaning. Somebody monkeyed with
our genetics in quite a literal sense. In the time of Bast, all
types of genetic samplings were embraced. The conquering influence
chose to propagate a similitude with the apes through the morphogenetic
grid of evolution.
Bast
established that human consciousness could become a lower form it
if chose to or that the lower forms could obtain the equivalent
of human consciousness. This is a sacrilegious teaching to many,
but it was highly regarded as the truth in times past. The city
of Bubastis was found by archeologists to contain a multitude of
mummified cats who stood as guardians of the temple. The reverence
to Bast was intense.
The Book
of the Law teaches us that the propagation of life is completely
unrestrictive in its nature. All potentialities are real and this
is accomplished through the evolving geometries that lie beneath
the blue print of evolution. The goddess Bast champions the unrestricted
potential of all creation. Our limitations in evolution are influenced
by those who dominate the morphogenetic grid but are essentially
determined by our own free will and choice in the matter.
