Proposal for an Ophanic Mystery School:
Angelic Science and Intergalactic Communication
article and all but the last image here,
by Vincent Bridge and Darlene
As the one year anniversary of the Ophanic Contact
working approaches, one of the participants asked me if I thought
we had dropped the ball. Reluctantly, I had to admit that in some
ways we had indeed let them down.
So, let's think this through, look at all the possibilities.
To me the important points can be sorted into a few interrelated
categories. First of all, we have the powerful and suggestive
evidence of an ancient planetary civilization which appeared to
have some sort of galactic involvement. We are the descendants
of that ancient civilization, though we but dimly recall its presence.
Our memories of such a Golden Age are hidden within myths, hoarded
as the secret possession of families and institutions, shared
as the Gnostic experience of the mystery school, analyzed as psychology
and even encoded within the structure of the alphabet itself.
The clues left us by the Golden Age culture can then
be applied to the next category, human evolution. What does the
Great Mystery tell us about ourselves?
Phillip Dick used to say that if he could talk to God,
the aliens or any other form of higher intelligence, he would
have only one simple message: we need medical attention. And,
essentially, that sums up the human condition. A species of monkey
wandering and proliferating mindlessly in a state of trauma induced
shock. The Great Mystery is the antidote, the blast of cool air
that clears our collective heads. It is the opposite of our collective
amnesia, it is the sudden return of memory.
With the return of memory comes responsibility. If
we know who we are, then we must act accordingly. We are forced
to choose whether we will remain as a smart monkey or make the
leap to galactic standard humanity. In many ancient cultures,
such as Egypt, the technology of galactic evolution was held as
the prerogative of the King and the royal or priestly establishment.
Such narrow lines of transmission both ensured the information's
survival and at the same time aided in its ultimate loss. Cultures
and languages emerged that had no psycho-spiritual depth, and
the secret became more and more closely guarded.
However, like survival packages dropped to disaster
victims, Phillip Dick's "higher intelligence" supplies
us from time to time with "wisdom" treasures, as the
Tibetan Buddhists call them. These contacts, though brief, usually
result in the transmission of an informationally dense symbolic
structure of open-ended complexity. One such contact occurred
in England in the late 16th century.
In the 1580's, Dr. John Dee and his seer, Edward Kelley,
downloaded a massive amount of information from the Ophanim or
Enochian angelic intelligences. This information was beyond the
abilities of its receivers to understand; they never tried to
use the system they were given. Most of it lay hidden in Dee's
private papers, and such caches as the secret drawer where the
Heptarchia Mysteria was found, for over fifty years. By
the 1670's, most of it had been recovered and a small group of
intellectuals and mystics begin to study the material. Work continued
in private until the late nineteenth century.
In 1887, a group of English Masons and Rosecrucians
found the work done by the Oxford group of Ophanics in the British
Museum at the same time that a continental connection with a German
group working with Dee's material appeared. The discovery of a
set of cipher ritual outlines, which included several curious
bits of Ophanic information, led to the formation of a magickal
order designed to produce Ophanic adepts.
However, this group never managed to assemble the complete
Ophanic system. The Ophanim transmitted the information over the
course of almost eight years in the face of constant interference.
Consequently, the system itself looks fragmented, some pieces
appearing to contradict others, while other pieces seem to be
completely separate. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was
never able to solve the problem of what these Ophanic initiations
were for; why exactly are we exposing ourselves to an ordered
pattern of Ophanic energy, leading up to permission to work with
the system? This unanswered question seemed to short-circuit the
magickal current of any group attempting to work with the Ophanic
system.
Careful examination of the surviving manuscripts indicate
that there is a pattern and a coherence to the entire Ophanic
opus. The pattern points to sacred geometry as the key to the
puzzle. As we understand this underlying structure, it becomes
possible to realign and correct the misunderstanding of previous
Ophanic scholars. In 1996, it become possible, for the first time
since it was transmitted in the 1580's, to work with a whole,
balanced and corrected version of the Ophanic system.
Seen as a whole, the Ophanic system resembles nothing
so much as a metaphysical computer-like communication device.
The Golden Dawn's initiation structure is a way to interface with
the system, but without an understanding of higher dimensional
geometry, some of it not discovered in the 1880's, the components
do not make sense. The adept then is trained, but without a purpose;
it is as if we were training auto mechanics, but didn't understand
the idea of an automobile.
Our Ophanic Contact working of a year ago demonstrated
that the Ophanic system worked. We built the physical and psychic
structure, revved it up and made contact, but couldn't hold it
in place for very long.
The Ophanic system is a time capsule of information,
given to the smartest mind of his era and then allowed to ferment
a few centuries until human knowledge caught up with it. As such,
it provides our best evidence of contact with higher intelligence.
No human mind in the 1580's could have defined a hyper, or fourth
dimensional cube, yet there it is, embedded within the very structure
of the Ophanic language itself.
Support for this idea comes from wide variety of sources.
Robert Morningsky and Dhani Wahoo have both identified the Ophanic
script as similar to those used by indigenous ET elders, such
as the Adawi. The geometrical pattern has been discerned in the
mysterious Phaistos disk of Crete as well as on the pieces of
Roswell debris. Even the symbols on the Stargate, in the movie
Stargate, resembled Ophanic letters.
All of this points to a need to do more concentrated
work on and with the Ophanic system. In that sense, I am offering
these proposals:
1) A group of individuals could be trained in the basics
by a combination of text and exercises. This group could then
be assembled at specific times and places to establish a contact
structure and begin an on-going dialogue with the Ophanic intelligences.
2) Research should be undertaken in a variety of different
areas related to the Ophanic system:
a) The magnetic and microwave resonance of the letter
shapes themselves should be examined.
b) The use of Ophanic communication to effect the environment
should be researched. The Governors of the Aethyrs have a direct
relationship to areas of he earth's surface. Can we interact with
these intelligences to promote environmental health?
c) Physical changes, such as DNA structure, should
researched as the individuals in the group under go their initiatory
exercises.
3) An on-going web-site and data base should be established
for the dissemination of the information produced by the research
and the direct contact workings. The information must be available
to everyone as freely as possible.
4) more research should be done into the origin of
the Ophanic letter shapes and the language itself. How does Ophanic
relate to Old Kingdom Egyptian for instance?
If any of this strikes your fancy or resonates a deep
chord in your being, please let us know. To get involved, or for
more information on the Ophanic system itself, write The Fifth
Way Mystery School, PO Box 877, Mt. Gilead, NC, 27306. Or e-mail

Well Dan, it depends on what you mean by useful.
There are similarities between the two, as you noted.
Bu the letter shapes
do not match the sound values, so the usefulness of that approach
is
limited.
We did find that arranging the Enochian letters, by
sound, according to the
Greek order allowed us to use Greek gematria to find useful values
for
Enochian words and letter patterns. I used these patterns to create
sound/light entrainment programs that allowed the user to experience
the
atmosphere of the lesser squares on the Great Tablet.
I do have a couple of theories on the similarities:
1) Dee was a Greek scholar, and when forced to create an alphabetic
form
for this new language he was receiving, fell back on the unconscious
resonance of the Greek alphabet he knew so well. He used Greek
letter forms
and English grammar to to give substance to the "Angelic"
language.
2) Doric or Classical Greek developed its alphabet in the same
way as
all Indo-Aryan languages did, by appropriating the forms of the
higher
cultures they bumped into. Since all of these letter forms go
back to
hieratic Egyptian, a sort of simple hieroglyphs, then Enochian
may be an
alphabetic origin point of great antiquity.
I think, to a certain degree, both of these are true.
However, since entire
sentences of Old Kingdom Egyptian can be found in Dee's Enochian,
the second
choice might be the most accurate. Since Enochian was delivered
to Dee in a
title, not phonetic, based grid, we might suppose that each letter
is
somewhat hieroglyphic. Therefore, each letter in a word should
be seen as
the sum of the letters used to spell its name.
For instance, the P sound, which looks like an omega,
is spelled with an M,
an A, an L and an S. Therefore, the P/omega symbol is composed
of the other
four components in ways that are both ideographic and logographic.
The
phonographic component, while there, is de-emphasized. In other
words, it is
more important to understand the structure of the letter's meaning
than it
is to pronounce it. To me, this suggests a computer language format,
more
than a human language.
Hope this answers your questions,
Vincent

HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
The Original Proposal for
the 1996 Ophanic Working
ENOCHIAN
PHYSICS: OPHANIC LANGUAGE
(July 25, 1996 Correspondence
from Dan Winter)
"Lest we be a burden
to our guardian angels when we die..." sentiment from
a famous religious philosopher named Gillette
The
converging myths of world traditions about the shape of spiritual
hierarchy struck to the heart again today. An amazing tribal shaman
called twice from South Australia today. We spent over an hour
on the phone. He was quite emphatic that the Ophanim we have been
"opening our phone line" here to, are quite literally
also the great winged guides of the ancient Australian aboriginals.
We spoke at length about the great bird shaped angelic body associated
with Illuru (Ayer's Rock), and he identified the same winged angelic
body coming to incarnate with the Dove shape over North America
as depicted in Keys of Enoch.
I
began to think about all the years we spent preparing ritual to
inhabit the body parts of the great Eagle in the shape of the
head of the Appalachin mountains in Pennsylvania, the "Keystone"
State.
Then I remembered Robert MorningSky describing
in detail the difference between the great Angelic "Aku"
vs "Dracu" forces in spiritual history. The Aku translate
to "bird tribe, " Ophanim", a lineage focused on
the use of spiritual power of the mind and visualization. The
Ophanim appear to be the inspirers of the great body of the bird
shape in the Templar Cathedra Zodiac landscape. The Aperture from
Sirius to Orion in the transmigration of souls, being again the
magnetic issue.
The Dracu translate to Draconian, Reptilian,
Setian, forces focused on technological and mechanical evolution,
generally associated with control by fear and agression.
In the Gnosis article about John Dee booby
trapping the future, the message is indeed that the planting of
the Ophanim inspired Enochian letters was leverage to avoid apocalyse.
If we translate Apocalyse at one level as an Epoch of the Ellipse
as Jay suggests, then Enochian calls become leverage to face the
Draconian/Reptilian presence on the Ellipse of Hale Bopp. (The
Fourth HorseMan??).
All of this sounds too simplistic at first,
but after Vincent and I completed the enclosed 2 hour video on
Enochian Physics, we went outside to perform the symmetry operations
of ritual to shape Enochian Temple. The presence was powerful,
the Thoth/Tehuti energy seemed very present. Later a storm came
up and the clouds made a dramtic Vpointing right to the site of
the ritual. We issued a call to those who could hold the space
and call forth the Angels with us, and next day out of the blue
the Aboriginal leader calls from South Australia, heard of me,
and describes the Ophanim quite explicitly as his guides.
The politics as described by Morningsky, were
of an alliance between a more rebellious Sirian Prince geneticist
and the Aku- Bird Tribes. The undertow was of a seed to a genepool
which could link theheavy emotions and passion of the Reptilian/Draconian,
with the high spiritual intention of the Bird Tribes. The result
could be a species able to use powerful Serpent Force emotions,
in the service of Angelic creation directly. Up to this point,
in a sense, we have high spiritual beings, with limited leverage
into matter. The human experiment created the possibility of human
nervous sytems and emotions, with feeling bodies capable of bending
galaxies.
Interestingly, when John McGovern, our Australian
shamnic friend, told the Aboriginals he was going to call down
the Angelic forces, they responded with fear at the anger the
Angelics would have.
They believed there would be retribution for
not have kept the strict martital breeding laws of the ancient
angelic ones. This rang a chord from the Morningsky description
of the origins of our sex guilt coming from the early DNA experiments
which required strict attention to which breeding pairs were permitted
to mate, to preserve the most self-aware self-replicating forces
in the genepool. Mating decisions were sacred, and required elaborate
rubrics for permission. This is still true of Aboriginals today.
Vincent described the attempt of the Shadow
government to re-incarnate/ contact the forces of Set. You described
the danger of the incarnation of Ahrimann. The parallels are too
dramatic to ignore. The terms Draconian, Typhon, Reptilian, Sauroid,
Set, Ahrimanic etc.. seem rather interchangeable.
Angelic communication apparently has the pure
principle of symmetry operations based on recursion. This would
be our way of embedding our lives inside their waveform. According
to Vincent, the Ophanim need to know that we have attempted to
speak their language. The symbol set they have given us is the
Enochian keys. The wave guide shapes of the Enochian alphabet
are reminiscent of the black hole geometries which Bentov saw
as the cookie cutters aligning the eddies within which galaxies
were created (in his Cosmic Book). Their name and shape and waveguide
in principle were all one.
The heart of the Enochian script seems to be
this pent (5) inside a 7 spin. This is clearly the 5 cube hypercube
in the seven spin tetra inside icosa. The five spin space of the
Hypercube/dodeca nests in the seven spin of the Heart muscle,
based on the 7 spins of the tetra, note parallel to Enochian:
This is much more fractal than the cubeocta
(unpacked tetra) geometric root of the Hebrew symbols. Clearly,
the Iburu script for gene spicing the the Hebrew was a more regional
and parcochial kind of symmetry set.
John Dee could not or would not shake our world
by practicing the Enochian he was taught. Apocalyse awaited. Now
with Apocalyse apparently here, the time for "calling all
angels" may well be at hand.
Lo it is Phi.

This soul wormhole connection
based on love is the only surviving memory as this galactic sector
passes thru nexus/black hole event horizon, which is why ET's
want our DNA.
Enochian
Tape Information Notes from Vincent:
Dear Dan,
OK, several points to begin with:
A) We do not have enough information to speculate
accurately on the system of origin of any of the Ahau rescue team.
We are told in Egyptian sources that the 4 million plus Ahau,
or spiritual beings, came from a large number of different worlds.
On the wall of the transverse vault of the Osirieon, and in the
146th chapter of the Book of the Dead, the worlds then a part
of the sentient or Osirian federation are listed along with the
Osiris of each system. If we follow Hurtak's information and think
of Arcturus as a transit link, then in a sense the rescue team
comes from, or through, Arcturus. Playing guessing games about
which aliens are from where, and what political leanings they
might have, is a distraction from what should be our main purpose.
We must develop, individually and as a species, the galactic norm
of sentience. Only with that accomplished will we be able to resist
any outside influence, good or bad. The Ahau are not interested
in fear trips; they only respond to the solid attainment of a
stable sentient structure of ecstatic self-awareness.
B) Hebrew is vitally important. As Hurtak says,
it is the local control language for this part of the galaxy.
On earth, its symmetry set defines the nature of sacred language
by generating a cohesive matrix in which the other horizontal
and vertical sacred languages can operate. Its unfolding in the
form of a cube-octahedron suggests its planetary nature, and which
allows it to phase-lock with higher organizational patterns. The
cube seems to be the basic form in which Hebrew unpacks its space/time
locality. As such, it appears to be a 3D construct. In the Sepher
Yetsirah and other sources we are told that the Tree of Life is
actually a 5D construct. The dimensions are listed as 3 of space,
one of time and one of morality, or centropy and entropy. Hypercubal
geometry, that is a geometry of higher dimensional organization,
is the very root of the Enochian system. The shadow of a 5D cube
in 2 dimensions creates a design that embodies the union of pent
and hex while organizing the Tree of Life into its "seed"
or closest packing form. The Enochian or Angelic material can
not be accessed directly. A channel must be formed of Hebrew resonances
in order to open the Enochian itself. The Hebrew forms a link
between our consciousness and the non-local consciousness of the
angelic logoi; without it the Enochian would simply blow us away.
C) The nature of the Enochian intelligences
is an important question. They are, at the most inclusive level,
the seven symmetry angles, or angels, of the tetrahedronal quark
from which the universe around us is formed. Along with these
are the four sub-atomic fields of operation, which we call for
convenience the elemental forces. These "beings" are
far beyond our comprehension, as pure being. We grip them by their
"names" or descriptive titles. Enochian not only supplies
powerfully descriptive "names," it supplies a framework
through which their operation in the lower worlds, the worlds
below the realm of pure being, can be charted. These charts, or
hardware chips, are the Four Watchtowers and the Tablet of Union.
In these matrices, the forces are personalized and symbolizes
so that an operator can steer their consciousness, much like the
help balloons or other icons help us navigate our computer systems.
These "beings" are what the Tibetans call self-generated,
that is they function and exist separate from the individual but
they are activated, or animated, only when another mind is present.
The deities said to reside the Kalichakra mandala are similar
types of self-generated beings. In fact, there are many connnections
between the Enochian system and the Kalichakra. (Another book
I have planned someday!)
D) In working with the Enochian system for
over twenty years, (Yipes! Has it been that long!) I have discovery
an important truth. The system itself is as neutral as the electric
wiring in our homes. It can be used in both good and bad ways,
but the sysytem itself is neither. Enochian opens levels of communication
and synchronicty in the same way that the lights come on when
I hit the switch, if the components are properly wired together.
However, if I am going to design an electric motor, for instance,
then I need to understand the theory and equations behind electricty.
With the Enochian, we are designing a new type of magickal appliance.
It could be one to bring on the Apocalypse, or it could be one
to respond directly to the rescue team and avoid the Apocalypse.
That choice is ours; and how good we do with the design will determine
how, and perhaps if, we survive.
E) The purpose of our Enochian based magickal
appliance would be to make contact with the galactic intelligences
in charge of the humanity rescue operation. A properly designed
appliance would be a matter/energy transmitter/receiver capable
of packing and unpacking tremendously coherent bundles of information.
This seems to have been the reason why the Enochian material was
so thoroughly downloaded, and yet proscribed from actual operations
until the timing was right. The material had to filter through
enough users to reach a saturation level. This occurred in the
mid 1890's, concurrent with the great airship flaps. For the last
hundred years, work on the system has progressed to the point
that just now, in the last five years, have isolated groups of
magical explorers stumbled on its true value. At the moment, we
are at the front of the pack. Because of this, it may be our responsibilty
to do something concrete with the system.
F) In learning the basics of how to operate
the Enochian system, the participant absorbs and internalizes
the Hebrew resonances from the Meta-Progamming Protocol. This,
all by itself, is a vast step toward a stable sentience. The abilty
to move the subtle elemental forces down the level of densely
braided DNA creates a degree of body/mind/spirit coherence that
is required for free-will and self-determination. The Supreme
Ritual of the Pentagram and the Enochian opening of the Veil generates
a highly usable flow of spiritual energy, which is in turn shaped
into the basic dodeca pattern required to support the Enochian
operating system. As Hebrew is cube oriented, and therefore hex
based, Enochian is dodeca based and consequently inclusive of
both hex and pent. Just learning the basics, how to hit the light
switch so to speak, generates psychic stability. Done properly,
this level of training insures against mis-use of the greater
forces in the Enochian system.
G) As for the planned working, I have been
instructed recently that we have some leeway on when, where and
what. Here's what I've been told:
1) The area where we have no slack is who.
We must have at least 5 people, 3 of whom must be at an Adept
level, that is they must have the basics down cold and have taken
their Oath of Obligation, or a similar bodhisatvic vow, to work
for the good of all sentient beings throughout the universe. Beyond
this, we are limited only by the level of understanding each individual
brings to the work. No disinterested observers in other words;
everybody works on this one.
2) When is flexible depending on how the group
shapes up. Where is anywhere we can find a geomantic plug-in point.
Sedona is listed as optimum, along with Mt. Shasta, Mt. Rogers,
Sakkara, Swayambunath in Nepal, Samye Monastery in Tibet, and
Hawaii. These seven plug-in points are listed as the best, but
I was told that thousands of other sites would work, if everything
else was up to speed.
3) What we are to do is both simple and exceedingly
complex. Another book seems necessary to cover this one, but I'll
try to be brief. We have the Egyptian Orb of Ra and its activation
module as the center piece of the working. On the grid of the
module is the Sigil of Truth. The group generates a full-stack
hypercube fully tensioned in all five dimensions and 26 sub-sets.
From this metaxic monad, we then build the Watchtower structure
through vibratory and visualization experience, and then activate
it through the first 18 calls. Then, we generate the Aethers,
or thirty edges and faces of our icosa/dodeca hologramic simulation
of reality. We crystalize this hologram by focusing on the silent
Tablet of Nalvage which controls the 49th Call. We focus at that
point on receiving the influx of information and dialing up the
rescue team. I am told that if we get this far, guidance will
be given in a clear and unmistakable form. We will also be instructed
on how maintain the contact and teach others quickly how to reach
the same point.
OK, that's my input/explanation. My feeling
is that we are so close that the Ophanim, etc., are holding their
breath. We just might get this figured out before everything blows
up. Conversely, you can figure that the other side, the Setian
forces, know as much as we do and are counting on our inability
to get it together in time. They of course are shocked that we
would even try it, much less that we have the ability to pull
it off. Secrecy is not so important as clarity of purpose and
focusing on the essentials. They can't do what we are planning,
they can only impede us. From this perspective, the fear angle
is useless. We should be afraid only of not getting it done if
we know how important it might be.
Use any and all of this you like as an introduction
to the Enochian Info tape. Let me know what you think.
Light in Extension,

Ritual Notes I
Proposal for Enochian Communication Working
A) Preparations
1) Organize material and notes
2) Create correct tablets
3) Design meditations and visualizations
4) Outline simple group-mind training
5) Write draft of ritual
B) Personnel
1) Pure Intent versus Adeptship -- Pure intent
is helpful, but the specific initiations of the outer GD order
are designed to create a physical phase-lock between the individual
and the Hebrew/Enochian structure. To work this properly, that
is safely and effectively, we need a minimum core of three Adepti
who have undergone the process in one form or another. Beyond
this, pure intent and as much clear information as the individual
can grok are the basic requirements. We can work with a mixed
group of Adepti and PIs, as long we have the minimum number to
interact with the structure.
2) Training the Group -- The nature of the
training can be broken down into three levels: Adepti/Operators,
PI/Supporters and general group mind. A consenus level of basic
information and goals needs to be generated so that everyone is
clear on the nature and purpose of the work.
a) Adepti/Operators -- Must understand the
geometry and symmetry set origin of, and be able to work, the
basic full-stack ritual components: Meta-Programming Protocol,
Elemental Hex, SRP, Macro-hex, LVX and Veil Opening. Must be able
to open the Sigil of Truth; visualize in correct 3D and actualize
the Elemental Tablets and the Tablet of Union; perform the Keys
of Opening; and mentally perform the operations of the 49th Key.
b) PI/Supporters -- Must understand the geometry,
scope and purpose of the experiment; and be able to work the Meta-Programming
Protocol. Also, an awareness of the nature of the work being done
by the Adepti is required. Should be grounded in basic group-mind
and information testing, psychic self-defense and simple mind/body
integration techniques.
c) General Group Mind Training -- As a whole,
the exploration team needs to focus primarily on group-mind development.
The synergy of diverse minds focusing on the sound/light/thought/symbol
wave guides of the Enochian system is the very mechanism that
allows these animated holograms to interact. We must learn interactive
"substance-of-we-feeling." This is a more difficult
trick than learning all the magickal operations. On this level,
everyone starts at the begining and we all learn together.
C) Location and Logistics
1) Sedona seems the most logical choice for
many reasons. Within the Sedona area, Bell Rock Mt. appears the
most appropriate. Given the work done there in 1989, seven years
ago, the location would seem to be primed and ready to go.
2) Getting the team to Sedona and having the
time necessary to train is the most important consideration. Preparation
for the working, in terms of preparing notes, charts, etc. is
a full time job for the next month. We should also consider documenting
the experiment -- video, audio, whatever -- particularly during
the operation itself.
D) Purpose of the Working -- If we look
at the current condition of the collective unconscious, we find
that the apocalypse is already in progress. This is a natural
by-product of the End of Time, Kali Yuga, Hell Age spiritual paradigm
that we are undergoing. Apocalyptic revelations are a recurring
theme in human mythology. However, they have seldom been as universal
and compelling as they are at the present. If we see this merely
as an artifact of the electronic media, we miss a large piece
of the puzzle: we created the electronic mass media because the
paradigm required a global consciousness. Four hundred years,
almost to the day, after the last Enochian transmission to Dee
and Kelly, I vibrated all 48 keys in the proper elemental order
at Bell Rock in Sedona, Arizona. That night, a group of 120 people
"anchored the Blue Light" on Bell Rock. I performed
the main ritual and included the proper Enochian elemental names.
There was indeed a massive influx of energy; and just coincidentally
the fall of the Berlin Wall and communism in Eastern Europe happened
that week. Now, seven years after that, and one hundred years
after the Golden Dawn received the last of its Enochian information,
we are setting out on the next logical step.
By properly formulating the Enochian Temples
of the Elemental Tablets, energizing them with the Sigil of Truth
and the Orb module, and then actualizing them with the Elemental
Keys, we create the psychic hardware of a vast, non-local computer
system. The Aethyric Keys operate as software, booting up the
assembled components. The Governors and The Good Angels are programs
that can run on the system. Following this metaphor, the purpose
of this working is to construct this inclusive spiritual computer
then called up Evolution Central and ask for further instructions.
In a sense, this is both the Apocalypse and
the antithesis of the Apocalypse. The most important consideration,
from our point of view, is the clarity of our understanding and
the purity of our intent. Once the system comes on-line, it is
our values that will color the reception. The less noise we create,
the more information we can receive.

- Summary
of system and structure
A) Overview of system and components
The
Ophanic Intelligences, the sentience of whirling Light, gave
Dr. Dee a powerful tool for leveraging reality. Imagine a magick
tool box, small enough and portable enough to be scattered throughout
the galaxy. The tool box contains "tools" designed
to build a mechanism that functions as a combination radio set,
life raft and emergency medical instrument. Included along with
the tools is a DNA trigger coded instruction sheet.
Learning
the alphabetic wave forms of symmetry set coherent sacred languages,
such Hebrew, Greek, Sanskrit, etc., creates a stable psychic
platform onto which the inter-locking non-local dimensional structures
of the Ophanic Language can be downloaded. This ensures that
the tool box will be opened by someone with the spiritual perspective
to use it. The information was originally given to Dee because
he could understand and respect the material. Mathers was able
to expand upon the material for the same reasons.
Within
the last five years, certain leaps forward in our understanding
of the Ophanic rescue project have occurred. They point, with
eerie synchronicity, toward the Enochian material of Dr. Dee.
Only now do we begin to see the outlines of the complete system
and what it may be intended to accomplish.
The
starting point is the alphabet itself. Arranged in the sixty-four
characters used to spell the "title functions" of the
letters, the alphabet creates a DNA sensitive matrix. Meditation
on this pattern, and its evolution into a 16-cell 4D geometric
figure, the dual of the Hyper-Cube, triggers a DNA coded process
that allows us to emotionally and intellectually grok the Ophanic
Language.
Once
this is absorbed, the physical structure and psychic hardware
of our "mechanism" can be constructed. The physical
platform is the Holy Table. Its purpose is to support the floating
focal point of the system, the Sigil of Truth and Orb Module.
The Table contains Ophanic letter patterns that generate an operational
field domain that is continually unpacking higher sources into
the local World of Action. It is insulated by small Sigils of
Truth under each physical contact point to ensure that local
negativity does not contaminate the system. Sort of like a surge
protector on the power supply of a computer.
In
fact the whole "mechanism" resembles a computer in
its design and function. The Holy Table is an energy condenser
charged by exposure to terrestrial currents. Think of it as the
power supply and wiring patterns. Next come the psychic structure,
the micro-chips, of the computing platform. These are the Elemental
Tablets, formed into their hyper-cubic Temple structures, and
the Tablet of Union that holds them in place and maintains continuity
of process between diverse functions.
Hebrew
unpacks only into a cube-octahedron, a truncation of a cubed
octahedron. This "dymaxion" shape allows the surface
of a sphere to map accurately onto 2 dimensions. The Ophanic
language unpacks outward into higher dimensions. The dodecahedron
forms the transitional stage, a blend of Hebrew and Ophanic,
while the higher unpacking of the hyper-cube forms the 24-cell
4D figure, which contains the 3D structure of both the dodecahedron
and the icosahedron.
This
structure is visualized as the environment in which the Holy
Table, Sigil of Truth and the Orb operate. The Sigil of Truth
is placed on the base of the Orb Module to act as a template
or filter for truthful or coherent information exchange. The
module itself supports this function by providing a direct link
to a Tablet of Union balanced flow of energy. The Orb provides
a link with the anchoring structures on Giza.
When
the hardware is in place, then the operating system must be booted
up, activating the processing routines. This is accomplished
by vibrating the 18 Elemental Keys. These Keys also bring the
Tablet of Union on line at the same time. Once these operations
are in place, then the content rich extensions known as the Aires
or Aethyrs can be activated. The 30 Aethyrs form the constant
localities symbolized by the 30 edges of both the dodecahedron
and the icosahedron. These edges are contact zones where planetary
and galactic forces inter-phase. The 49th Key of Silence acts
as a modem connecting us with galactic information central.
Now
our non-local computer is turned on and running. We have a choice
of 93 programs that directly effect the earth and its immediate
environment in space, and 700 programs for effecting individual
and societal change. Our first act with the non-local system
will be to call up Central and ask for more instructions before
we begin to activate programs.
The
goal of this handbook is to present the Ophanic material in a
simple and direct way, with nothing left out or obscured by overly
complex jargon. Only in this way can we actually expect to perform
this complex spiritual operation. The clearer everyone is on
what we are doing and how it works, even if they don't understand
the details, the better the working will be.
B) Letters and Language
On
March 26, 1582, early on in the transmission process, Dee and
Kelly were instructed to draw the characters they saw in an eight
by eight square held up by the angel Ave. A faint yellow outline
of an alphabetic character appeared on the page in front of Dee,
which he then filled in with ink. The characters were somewhat
similar to several magickal scripts, including that described
by Pantheus in his Voarchadumia, but more refined. They are also
vaguely reminiscent of Ethiopian characters.
The
titles of the twenty-one letters emerged in three groups of seven;
twenty characters spell seven titles in the first group, twenty-one
in the second and twenty-three in the third, for a total of 64
characters. These titles are odd; they seem to have no relationship
to the phonetic value of the letter.
The
letters themselves have been demonstrated, by dowsing, to be
tightly focused wave guides. The dowsing crystal forms a specific
energy oscillation for each letter. The oscillation changes orientation
with the letter, indicating that the wave guide of the letter
is omni-directional. Since each letter is asymmetrical, the complete
group of twenty-one forms three variations on the seven-fold
symmetry set. Only eighteen letters are used to spell out the
titles of the letters; the three left out letters, B, Q, and
Z, one from each of the three symmetry groups, form the three
points on each face of an invisible tetrahedron. The missing
or hidden 22nd letter, corresponding to the Greek Theta, is the
invisible center point of the tetrahedron.
Each
64 character square can be read from one of four directions,
and the reading can start from each of the four corners.
This
produces 16 different symmetry sets or patterns. Each pattern,
or way of reading the letter titles, produces 32 different sub-domains,
that is eight "names" or frequency signatures in each
of the four directions. This gives us a grand total of 512, or
eight cubed, individual symmetry set domains.
The
16-cell 4D figure, a 4D octahedron, or a pyramid within a pyramid,
has the same relationship to the hyper-cube as a 3D octahedron
has to a cube. Just as the vertices of the octahedron form the
faces of the cube, so do the vertices of the 16-cell hyper-octahedron
form the cells of the hyper-cube.
This
arrangement is familiar from the development of the hyper-cube
within the Meta-Programming Protocol. In that instance, the 16
Hebrew letters used to spell the four letter names of God in
the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram are used to form a 4D octahedron;
eight letters, A, D, N, Y, G, V, L, and H, form the outer surface
of the 3D octahedron. The repeated letters, A, (3) Y, (1) V,
(2) and H(2) form the inner cells of the 4D octahedron. The vertices
of this 4D octahedron form the cells of the hyper-cube created
by the four pentagrams and the four godnames. The archangelic
names form the four faces and hidden center point of a tetrahedral
symmetry generator that animates the hyper-cube.
Each
of the basic sixteen symmetry patterns of the 64 square Ophanic
alphabetic structure forms a cell of the 4D octahedron. The eight
patterns formed on the horizontal or the vertical are the eight
surface faces that show in a 3D octahedron. The eight diagonal
patterns form the inside cells of the 4D octahedron. Within each
cell, the 32 sub-domains form the faces of the 4D figure; the
16 directions and the eight categories of sub-domain form the
24 edges of the 16-cell figure. The eight vertices are formed
by the same ranking as the categories of sub-domain, that is
either eight across, eight down, eight names with one to eight
letters, etc.
So
far, we have developed a dimensional structure similar to that
of Hebrew; a spinning tetrahedron throwing off symmetry angles
inside a 4D octahedron that turns itself inside out to form the
hyper-cube of the pentagram ritual. The Ophanic alphabet of symmetry
also uses a tetrahedron (focused on the vertices rather than
the faces) and generates a 4D octahedron from its symmetry sets
and sub-domains. However, instead of turning inside out to form
a hyper-cube, the Ophanic language crystal 4D octahedron folds
outward to form six hyper-cubes, one unfolding from each face
of the Hebrew and Ophanic Cube of Space. (Both Hebrew and the
Ophanic Letters form the faces, edges, axis of orientation and
central point of a space defining cube.) Each of these outwardly
unfolding hyper-cubes is formed from one of the four Elemental
Tablets.
Unlike the Hebrew
16-cell 4D figure, which uses only eight of 22 letters and delineates
no further internal 4D components, but is used at every working,
the Ophanic 4D octahedron is fully developed structurally and
never used directly in the Ophanic Language or system. It seems
to be a mental construct designed to be absorbed by the unconscious
and then used to leverage the interactions of the system at the
level of the DNA. It is helpful to think of the Ophanic 4D octahedron
as a seed containing all the possible DNA derived probability
waves. In other words, the literal matrix of creation.
The
Ophanic language developed from the squares described in the
Liber Logaeth, or "Book of the Speech of God." Some
of this early form of the Ophanic language resembles verb tense
and other grammatical drills. None of this was translated directly
into English, although Dee ventured a few interpretations. At
any rate, a large number of squares were generated in this trance-like
way.
In
1584, Dee and Kelly received instructions on how to convert the
squares of some of the tablets in the Liber Logaeth into invocations
or calls. This time, the angels provided a translation. The language
that emerged had English phonology and grammar, but the roots
and other vocabulary elements are not directly derivable from
English, Latin, Greek, or Hebrew. Some roots are similar to Sanskrit
and Egyptian, but some are simply alien in construction and pronunciation.
The
Keys or Calls contain the purest example of the Ophanic Language
that we have. The names formed from the Tablets are more random
in appearance, and are much more difficult to translate. The
Keys seem to provide a literary structure, the grammar and syntax,
that is needed to operate the more complex frequency signatures
embedded within the structure.
C) The Holy Table
The
Holy Table is the altar component, the point of terrestrial contact.
As such, it functions as an energy source for the entire system.
Condensing the telluric current of its location, the Holy Table
also imparts a higher organizing principle, a kind of centropic
flow, on the chaotic earth energy. This geomantic consideration
is often overlooked, just as the Holy Table itself is hardly
mentioned in the Golden Dawn material.
Dee,
however, was vitally concerned with this component, and also
did extensive research into the megalithic antiquities of Britain.
We have no information on how Dee viewed the connection between
his Angelic work and his geomantic research, but the nature of
the 91 Governors' relationship to the surface of the planet indicates
a subtle geomantic wisdom on the part of the Ophanic Intelligences.
Under
the Holy Table heading, we will also look at several other physical
components of the system: the ring, the Lamen, the module and
the crystal Eye of Ra Orb. Along with the Table, these physical
components are designed to integrate the telluric and bio-physical
energies of the place and the operator with the non-local communication
frequencies.
1) Actually more of a table covering or cloth,
the Holy Table is a square of twenty-three sections per side
containing a hexagonal interpenetrating triangle design. Each
corner of the square contains the letter Pa, (B) so that the
first and last letter of each twenty-three character side are
the same. This suggests another omni-directional collection of
symmetry sets. This particular grouping of symmetry sets is derived
from the heptagonal structure of the Angels of Light. In the
center hexagonal figure, there is a three by four square. In
each of these twelve squares is an Ophanic letter.
Reading
right to left across, this gives us the names OIT, RLU, LRL,
and OOE. Down, from left to right, we find TULE, ILRO, and ORLO.
These two symmetry sets give seven names out of 12 characters.
The diagonal symmetry sets give six more names, in one-two-three
character groupings. Our basic frequencies begin to emerge as
(6) 7, 12, (13) 21 (22) and 23. Twenty-three, the number of chromosomes
each partner contributes to a child, forms the DNA connection
at the level of human sexual activity. Twenty-two, the letters
on each side without repeating the Pa, as in both Hebrew and
Ophanic Letters, is the structural components of the Cube of
Space. Each of the four sides then forms a dimensionally imploded,
from 3D to 1D, cube. The corner Pa, or B, is the mark of pressure
where light condenses into matter from the four directions. As
in the Mayan pyramids, these corners are aligned to the true
directions. The hexagonal central structure serves to fix the
six diagonal forces generated by the 12 central squares. In form
it is very similar to the RA grid hexagram used in the Orb Module.
The
seven greater names formed from the center grid by horizontal
and vertical rankings combine with the other six to give us our
implied 13. The 21 letters on each side, without the corner Pa,
form a Fibbonaci, or phi ratio with the 13 names. In the same
way, 22/7, the relationship of the Cube of Space to the symmetry
angles (angels) of the tetrahedron, gives us an approximation
of Pi. These seven names also rule the seven talismans of the
earthly planetary forces that are placed on the circle around
the hexagonal figure.
2) Like the Holy Table and the Sigil of Truth,
the Ring and the Lamen were part of the very earliest Enochian
sessions. The Angels communicated their importance, and these
items were used as a part of the ritual setting throughout the
rest of the sessions. The Ring is a simple Golden Mean rectangle
with a large Phi symbol in the center. The phi is aligned horizontally;
above the bar is a V and below it is an L. These symbolize recursion;
the V is intra-dimensional, while the L is inter-dimensional.
In each corner of the rectangle is a letter, spelling the name
PELE, or "he who workth wonders" as he was known to
the medieval Kabbalists. (I prefer the Ophanic letters for this
name.) The purpose of this ring is to show the tangible proof
of the operator's understanding of the basic geometry of the
system. It sums up the whole operation of the Holy Table into
one symbol.
3) The Lamen is also an adaptation of the operation
of the Holy Table, only applied to physical body of the operator.
The outer perimeter names of the Holy Table invert their symmetry
set to produce a 7 x 12 grid, from which the central 3 x 4 grid
is taken. This 7 x 12 grid is then re-arranged by sections to
form the Lamen. When worn in ceremony, it forms a link between
the operator and the energy source. The central tilted square,
read on a diagonal, forms a protective energy inter-phase on
the surface of the skin. The square enclosing the tilted square
directs the energy to and from the heart, of the operator and
the Holy Table array. The perimeter square moves the energy field
deep with the DNA. The Lamen should be lettered in Ophanic.
4) The Module is a pyramid shaped structure designed
to contain and shape the energy operations of the Eye of Ra Orb.
The platform, built of alternating layers of silk and copper
and aligned edge on toward the compass points, supplies a coherent
flow of energy that is then massaged into a toroidal shape by
the Tablet of Union patterning around the edge of the base plate.
The central area of the plate is left open for the insertion
of templates such as the Seal of Truth or the Round Tablet of
Nalvage. The pyramidal super-structure is built of copper in
the correct proportions of the Great Pyramid at Giza. A RA Unification
grid, a type of hexagramic location device, floats at the level
of the King's Chamber floor. Above the center of the RA grid
hangs a wire basket supporting the Eye crystal. The basic principle
is the intersection of the unified energy torrid with the fixing
structure of the RA Grid and the non-local reference point of
the Eye. The pyramidal shape acts as a broadcasting unit transmitting
the energy/information into space.
5) The Eye of Ra is a crystal orb that was infused
with the energy signature of the original up-link to Sirius/Orion.
It operates as a floating point processing unit that is without
any space/time limitations.
D) The Sigil of Truth
The
fifth of the seven Great Seals of the Ophanim, the Sigil or Seal
of Truth is the first template or filter used with the Orb Module
and the Holy Table. Its function is to provide a coherent communication
signal, a truthful response. As such, it is also used to insulate
the Holy Table -- a Sigil is placed under each contact point
with the earth.
The
Sigil of Truth operates within the physical hardware in the same
way that the Tablet of Union functions within the psychic hardware.
With the Holy Table, it provides a unifying level for the entire
system.
The
outer edge of the Sigil contains 40 characters; some are letter/number
combinations, some have only letters. These characters form the
names of the four elemental rulers of the Watchtowers and the
seven planetary rays that animate the Angels of Light. The four
letters not used in these names form the operative name of the
unifying angel of the Tablet of Union and the Round Tablet of
Navlage.
The
outer edge of the Sigil with its circle of letter/numbers can
be seen as the interface between the Atziluthic or Divine realm
and the realm of Archetypes, the Briatic world. The Divine energy
realm extrudes the 12 archetypes delineated by the 40 characters.
These extrusions have specific functions that are described and
circuitized by their names and Sigils. The four great primeval
elemental forces are described by their names; their function
as the energy source for the elemental micro-chip like Tablets
is circuitized by their Sigils, which in turn derive from the
patterns of their names on the edge of the Sigil of Truth. Thus
they are indeed "Watchmen" who self-monitor the flow
of elemental energy in truthful, or fractally coherent, patterns.
These
patterns form the structure of the Elemental Tablets, which in
turn form the supporting architecture of the whole system. The
Tablet of Union acts as a cohesive force on the action of the
elemental components, as shown by its 4, 5, 20 numerical structure.
The Sigil of Truth is the cohesive force acting on the planetary
centers and the chakras of the human body. This is demonstrated
by its 7/5 embeddedness. Both of these projective forces are
extruded from the Divine at the same time and at the same point,
the edge of the Sigil of Truth, or rather, that quality of Divine/Archetypal
interface described as "Daath" or Knowledge by the
Kabbalists. If we think of the primeval elements as the Aleph,
or the primary sequence of sub-atomic forces, and the planetary
forces as the Mem or mediating biological forces, then the unexpressed
name formed from the unused letters becomes both Shin and Tau,
or spirit/matter.
The
planetary forces are the focus of the Sigil of Truth's operations.
It seems designed to step down Atziluthic or Divine energy all
the way to the boundary of the local World of Action, or Assiah,
where it can then interface with the Orb and the Module, the
ring and the Lamen.
The
first step is to locate the highest forms of planetary action
just inside the interface barrier itself. On the Sigil of Truth
this is done by placing the planetary Sigils, and frequency codes,
in the space between the circle and the heptagram, implying a
space-filling role for the archetypal planetary forces. The names
of these beings are not used directly; inside the heptagon, they
will appear in an archangelic form. The heptagon itself is formed
from a 7 x 7 square filled with vertically read Hebrew planetary
Archangelic names. The seven squares on each side the heptagon
is formed by a horizontal reading of the Hebrew archangelic square.
This creates a multi-leveled embeddedness resembling a web composed
of seven super-imposed heptagrams.
If
we think of the planetary names extruded by the outer circle
as being more divine than archetypal, then the Unpronounceable
Names of the Briatic Archangels are more archangelic than divine.
The first forms the outer surface of Atziluth, the second forms
the inner surface of Briah. Like the first planetary names, these
archangels are also space-filling in function, as depicted by
their position as the space between the heptagon and the heptagram.
The archangelic names also create a 7 x 7 grid from which the
names on the inner heptagram, heptagons and central pentagram
are inscribed.
These
angels are Yetsiratic in their function, that is they create
a foundation from which the Good or Light Angels of Assiah can
operate. Their order of development, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the
Sun, Venus, Mercury and the Moon, mirrors the planet's superior,
outside the orbit of the earth, or inferior, inside the earth's
orbit, location with the Sun acting appropriately as the focal
point or nexus of the group. As befits a foundational function,
these Yetsiratic angels are both space defining and space-filling.
The
central angels follow the same order of development, but these
angels spiral down toward the central equal-armed cross. This
motion brings the energy structure to the outer edge of the Yetsiratic
or foundational level, where it can be interfaced with the planetary
and elemental forces of the World of Action.
The
Sigil also has a number of crosses. These are actual interface
locations where the World of Action can phase-lock with the foundational
forces. Their number and placement describes the interaction
between the elements and the chakras. The total number of crosses
on the front of the Sigil is 130, which indicates, by gematria,
the resolution of unconscious processes through balance.
On
the back of the Sigil are another cross and the four-letter Hebrew
divine name for Earth, AGLA. This serves to seal the Sigil off
from any negative forces coming from the earth itself.
E)
The Elemental Tablets
The
Elemental Tablets are four 12 x 13 grids joined by the mirror-like
symmetry of the 52 square Great Cross, which contains the Tablet
of Union names and the 92nd and 93rd Governors. Each of the four
Tablets has the same structure: a sigil of the Watchmen, a Divine
Name of 3, 4, 5 letters, an eight letter solar archangelic name,
six seniors of seven letters, four calvary cross tree-of-life
patterns, four kerubic angels and 64 Servient squares. The Servient
squares can be read to produce archangelic names, angelic, arch-caco-demonic
and caco-demonic names, creating an inclusive, chaos to order
and back again, recursion path.
Each
square can be thought of as a dual cell of a hyper-cube, that
is a square within a square, or a truncated pyramid. This gives
each square five qualities: the letter in the central square,
and the elemental, sephirotic or planetary attribution of each
of the four truncated sides of the cell. From this information,
an Egyptian godform and a Sphinx can be derived, so that we have
five qualities and two attributes, seven in all, for each square.
The
sigil of the primeval Watchmen supplies the energy and is placed
either above the Tablet or on the back. This energy is then fed
through a zodiacal processing grid. Each element has three forms,
cardinal, fixed, and mutable, symbolized by the 3, 4, 5 letter
God Name that forms the symmetry or event horizon of each Tablet.
From the zodiacal, the energy moves to the solar plane with the
phi-spiral based archangelic name formed from the central eight
letters on each Tablet.
This
solar spiral also flows outward through the six names of seven
letters called the Seniors. Each name begins with the sun and
then works through the planetary attributions, moving the energy
through system. The elemental sub-quadrants, earth of earth,
earth of fire, etc., are structured as the inner four cells of
a hypercube where the outer cells are formed from the four complete
Tablets. (For instance, traveling east from the Air Tablet would
bring you to the Fire Tablet, while traveling west from the Water
Tablet returns you to Air. Within each Tablet, looking east from
the water sub-quadrant (upper right) you see the earth sub-quadrant,
(lower left) while looking north shows you the fire sub-quadrant,
(lower right) and so on.)
Each
elemental sub-quadrant is composed of a calvary cross tree-of-life
support structure, a kerubic column on which it rests and a quarter
of a chess board floor pattern. In 2D, this structure is a 5
x 6 grid, broken down into a six letter central column and a
five letter horizontal that forms the tree of life pattern; with
a four letter name above the horizontal line and 16 squares below.
In
3D, this micro-chip pattern inter-locks with the surface of the
earth. The Fire Tablet covers from latitude 80N to 80S and longitude
150E to 120W, the mid-Pacific, with eastern Australia, New Zealand
and part of Siberia and Alaska. Water Tablet: 80N to 80S, 120W
to 30W, North and South America, Greenland and the Atlantic Ocean.
Air Tablet: 80N to 80S, 30W to 60E, Europe, Africa, Middle East,
Russia. Earth Tablet: 80N to 80 S, 60E to 150E, India, Far East,
etc. The Tablet of Union covers the central axis of the planet
and is the binding force holding the planet together just as
it holds the Tablets together.
F) The Tablet of Union
The
Tablet of Union is formed from the 52 squares that join the four
elemental tablets into one large 25 x 27 square grid. Twenty
of these squares are used to form the Great Ophanic Seal known
as the Tablet of Union. On the Great Cross itself, these twenty
characters are repeated twice in mirror symmetry fashion. This
leaves 12 characters for which we have no accurate attribution.
On some of Dee's manuscript versions, we can read the addition
of P, A, R, A, O, A, N and 5 L's. Paraoan is formed from the
reversed letters on the Tablets themselves and is the 92nd Governor,
ruling the interior of the planet. The 5 L's, symbolic of the
five Elements, contain the L, also shown in reverse of the Tablets,
used to energize the Tablet of Union names when used as the Governors
of the Abyss. The other four L's are a screen to cover the secret
name of the 93rd Governor, formed from the unused letters on
the Sigil of Truth, which rules the space from our atmosphere
out to the orbit of the moon.
The
twenty characters of the Tablet of Union Seal are arranged in
a 5 x 4 grid. The four horizontal names are the elemental control
frequencies. The five vertical names are the spiritual quality
of the five elements. Together, they function as the twenty faces
of an icosahedron,
or the vertices of a dodecahedron.
G) The Keys or Calls
Formed
from the grids and squares of the Liber Logaeth, the Keys were
given to Dee and Kelly by the angel Nalvage. He first appeared
on April 10, 1584 looking like a young Elizabethan Sun-King,
holding a golden rod and standing on a crystal etched with his
Round Tablet. The keys were slowly dictated, letter by letter,
then translated later. Great care was taken to ensure accuracy
and understanding. Dee's translation is an accurate rendition,
although somewhat florid in style.
The
Keys or Calls are arranged in three basic groups: the Elemental
Keys, the Aethyric Keys and the Key of Silence.
1) The Elemental Keys -- The first 18 Keys
program the architecture of the Elemental Tablets and the Tablet
of Union. The first and second Keys activate the Tablet of Union,
although in different ways. The first Key opens the elemental
operations of the Tablets; the second Key opens the 30 Aethyrs.
Keys 3 through 6 open the elemental forces, and the unmixed sub-quadrants;
seven through 18 open the other 12 mixed elemental sub-quadrants.
2) The Aethyric Keys -- This is actually
the same Key repeated thirty times with the change of one three
letter word, the tittle of the Aethyr. The angel described these
levels as thirty concentric circles, from the closest, the 30th,
to the most distant, the 1st. It is also useful to think of the
Aethyrs as the edges of both a dodecahedron and an icosahedron.
3) The Key of Silence -- The 49th Key
is a non-vocal, non-local operation involving the 93rd Governor
and the Round Tablet of Navlage. The operation itself consists
of vibrating the name of the Governor mentally to activate the
sphere of space around the planet, then unfolding into that space
the geometric structure of the Round Tablet. The Call is silent,
because only a telepathic push, as opposed to a physical or sonic
push, can open the communication channel.
H) The Round Tablet of Nalvage
With
the Tablet of Nalvage, we come to the seventh and last of the
Great Ophanic Seals. Apparently, almost nothing was said about
this Tablet in the Golden Dawn, which is curious considering
its key importance within the Ophanic system.
Dee
was told that the Tablet represented the functional activity
of the Trinity itself. The substance of the tablet, milky quartz
mother of pearl, was attributed to God the Father. The circumference
becomes God the Son, and the pattern or geometry of the Tablet
represents the Holy Spirit.
This
means that The Tablet is the very binding force that holds the
whole system of angelic hierarchies in place. It accomplishes
this task by raising the degree of symmetry and coherence to
an entirely new level.
The
Tablet is composed of a six by six square, with four four-letter
flaps. The flaps form an analog of the Tablet of Union, as the
four three by three squares form an analog of the Elemental Tablets.
Each corner of the 36 square grid contains the letters IAD, which
translates as God in Ophanic. This leaves 24 characters to describe
God's actions and qualities. The four 3 x 3 interior squares
are then read horizontally to produce 12 more divine beings who
carry out God's actions. A vast theology is concealed in these
simple names and phrases, but that is far from our purpose here.
The
structure of the Tablet is a 2D representation of the 24-cell
4D figure. This geometric construct is internally self-referencing,
that is turns itself in inside out and remains the same, and
consumes or embeds all of the 3D platonic solids as well as the
16-cell and the hyper-cube in 4D. This makes it the only master
geometric structure that unifies the process of dimensional information/energy
exchange in an inclusive and self-referencing matrix. The 24
non-IAD letters form the vertices of the figure; the 24 names
and phrases of each symmetry set form the 24 cells. All four
symmetry sets, or ways of reading the individual squares and
the larger unitary grid, produce the 96 faces and edges of the
4D figure. Hyper-cubes and 16 cell figures can also be formed
from this highly coherent pattern of letters and names.
I) The Book of Knowledge, of Power, and of
the Victorious Forces of Earth
The
Book of Knowledge contains the 91 local planetary surface intelligences
known as the Governors of the Aethyrs or Ayres. If we think of
the linear names formed from the Elemental Tablets as the architectural
structure of our spiritual computer, then it is easy to see the
Governors as the programs or operations that can be done within
that structure. Each Governor is defined by a name formed from
an individual circuit path or sigil on the Elemental Tablets.
These
Sigils form the sub-structure of the Tablets, their unifying
relationship. The Governors have a dual aspect; they relate both
to a locality or bio-region on the surface of the planet and
to the informational content of the Aethyr, each of which can
be seen as an organizational arrangement of the astral zones.
It is this duality that supplies a spirit of locality, or landscape
angel, for each bio-region. Just as the Governors are the interactive
component of the Aethyr, so too are they the interactive component
of the Earth.
J) The Seven-Fold Mystery of the Good Angels
of Light
Concerning
the Good Angels of Light, the Archangel Michael told Dee:
"Now
you touch the world; the Governors that work, rule under God;
By whom you may have power to work such things, as shall to God
profit of your country and the knowledge of his creatures."
Then Michael continues, explaining to Dee that the Angels work
in the world of Assiah, our local reality, and that they are
good angels under God. He reveals a set of tablets and announces:
"Behold,
these tables; herein by their names that work under God upon
the earth; Not of the wicked but the Angels of Light. The whole
government doth consist in the hands of the 49 whose names are
here evident, excellent and glorious. Mark these tables and record
them. . . This is the first knowledge. Here you shall have wisdom."
If
the Governors are large scale programs running on our spiritual
computer, then the Good Angels of Light are more like personal
files or individualized software. The names on the outer edge
of the Holy Table are derived from one hierarchy or symmetry
set of the Angels of Light; they are ruled or programmed as a
unit by the lowest level of planetary Yetsiratic names on the
Sigil of Truth. The Angels of Light form a background grid of
symmetry sets through which consciousness, as time, moves. The
Angelic hierarchy then becomes the literal structure of synchronicity,
the acausal connecting principle.
Little
of this system remains in the Golden Dawn material, although
we can see that it was once deeply understood by Mathers and
the other high-grade Adepts. "The Particular Exordium"
from the Z1 documents echoes the nature of the seven tables as
revealed by the Archangel Michael to Dr. Dee.
K) Summary of system and structure
The
Ophanim delivered to Dr. Dee and Edward Kelly a complex system
of magickal science that is both inclusive and inter-dimensional.
It seems to function as a computer system, with hardware, software
and programs to run, but one composed of geometrical shapes and
frequency matrices. It is impossible to go very far in understanding
the Ophanic material without coming to the conclusion that this
is proof of contact with a higher level of intelligence.
Basic
symmetry set alignment and dimensional projection of geometric
forms are accomplished by the Hebrew language operations. The
Hypercube, and its dual the 16-cell, become the basic building
block of the entire structure. The combination of Hebrew and
Ophanic produce the dodecahedron of the Supreme Ritual of the
Pentagram. The faces of this dodecahedron become the twelve gates
through which the Elemental Tablets, the Aethyrs and the Governors
are organized. The dodeca also organizes the 7/5 spin imparted
by the Sigil of Truth and the phi ratios of the Holy Tablet.
The Tablet of Union forms the icosahedron that contains, or unifies,
the other forms.
Without
the geometric unification of the Tablet of Nalvage, the structure
of the system is incomplete. It will function on its own, storing
and processing information, performing operations and running
programs, but without the 4D unification of the 24-cell, the
Tablet, it cannot communicate with other such systems. Once this
up-link is achieved, then operations concerning the Governors
or the Good Angels can be directed from galactic central.

SHARING THE SECRETS

Dr. Dee Meets the ETs reprinted
from: http://www.sangraal.com/library/SS3.html
During the spring of 1581, John Dee had a close encounter with
an angel. He was praying in the chapel of his Mortlake home when
a sharp rapping sound drew him to the curtained windows. Throwing
aside the drapes, John Dee came face to face with a shining being
floating a full 12 feet off the ground. The being gestured for
Dee to open the window. When he did, the shining figure handed
him a smoky quartz egg about the size of a baby's head. Dee took
the quartz egg, and the figure vanished.
It is easy, from a modern perspective, to dismiss this incident
as a superstitious legend, but the crystal still exists, on display
in the Manuscript Room of the British Museum. Dr. Dee kept careful
records and made notes almost obsessively. We have notes on the
construction of his other scrying glasses, as these types of crystals
were known, but nothing, except the above incident, about the
smoky quartz egg. Even Dee's first biographer, Meric Causabon,
who was anything but sympathetic, simply reports the origin of
the crystal without comment.
However strange this encounter may be, it is the use Dee made
of his angelic gift that is the crux of the story.
John Dee was born in 1527 and his formative years were colored
by the religious turmoil brought on by the Reformation. Dee's
family, through which he would later claim distant kinship with
Queen Elizabeth, arrived in London in the wake of Henry Tudor's
coronation as Henry VII. His father was a gentlemen's gentleman
for Henry VIII, and John Dee's character was molded in a climate
of religious protest and reaction. By the time he went up to Cambridge
at fifteen, he was searching for a resolution to the problem of
religious authority, seeking a type of spiritual science that
could supply insight into the workings of nature by infusing the
natural world with mystical meaning.
After studying at Cambridge and Louvain, Dee achieved the status
of renaissance celebrity in 1550 with a lecture on mathematics
and the spiritual aspect of number at the University of Paris.
During the reign of Edward VI, Dee became involved in the political
maneuverings around the throne and by the summer of 1555 found
himself in prison on an unspecified ecclesiastical charge. Catholic
Mary, "Bloody Mary," had succeeded the young Edward
and times were tough for Protestant mathematicians and magicians,
especially for those known to have cast horoscopes of the Queen.
Dee spent three months in prison. His cellmate went to the stake,
as did over six hundred others, for witchcraft and heresy.
Dee survived his trial and lived to joke about it with his
new patron, Queen Elizabeth I, who was also accused in the plot.
Soon after her coronation, he was proclaimed the Royal Astrologer
and given, specifically, freedom from ecclesiastical harassment.
Dee settled in at his family home, Mortlake, which would eventually
house the largest library of its time in all of Europe. Only the
great national collections of the next century surpassed it. In
the early 1580's Dee listed over 4000 thousand volumes, 3000 printed
books and over 1000 in manuscript. The libraries of Oxford and
Cambridge together numbered less than a quarter of that total.
Mortlake acted as the Elizabethan equivalent of a university research
center, and it was said that the library contained the whole of
renaissance thought.
At the end of 1562, Dee departed on an expedition to the continent
proposed by Lord Burleigh, Queen Elizabeth's chief minister, and
Sir Francis Walsingham, the head of Elizabeth's intelligence service.
The exact reason for this intelligence gathering venture remains
unknown, although Lord Burleigh thought the "Monas Hierogliphica,"
which Dee published later during the trip, "of the utmost
importance for the security of the realm." In a letter to
Sir William Cecil, written in February 1563 from Antwerp, Dee
announced that his quest had been successful already. Apparently,
he had made contact with a group or society that taught him more
about recondite philosophy, Dee writes, than he had dared hope
possible. In the letter, Dee summarized the important points of
the "Radical Truths" he had discovered. Rather than
wade through several pages of Elizabethan prose, we can paraphrase:
*All is unity, created and sustained by God through his Laws.
*These Laws are predicated upon Number.
*There is an art of combining Hebrew letters and equating them
with Number so as to perceive profound truths concerning the nature
of God and His dealings with Man.
*Man is of divine origin. Far from being created out of dust,
as in Genesis, he is in essence a "star-daemon:" a spirit
connected with the stars.
*As such, he has come from God, and must return to Him.
It is essential to regenerate the Divine essence within Man,
and this can be done by the powers of the Divine intellect.
*God manifests by means of ten progressively more dense emanations;
and man, by dedicating his mind to the study of Divine Wisdom,
by refining his whole being, and by eventual communion with the
angels themselves, may at last enter into the presence of God.
*An accurate understanding of the natural processes, visible
and invisible, enables Man to manipulate these processes through
the powers of his will, intellect and imagination.
*Whatever is in the Universe possesses order and agreement
and is similar in form to everything else.
In addition to these truths, Dee was excited about a book,
the "Steganographica" of Trithemius, the Abbot of Sponheim.
He spent ten days copying a manuscript of this work and crowed
to Sir William about its value. The "Steganographica"
appears to be a textbook on codes and ciphers, all very valuable
to spies and intelligence networks, but is really a hermetic text
on angelic communication. Designed so that the codes and ciphers
described in the first section of the book must be used to read
the second section on angelic magick, Trithemius' masterpiece
works like our modern interactive games. The reader has absorbed
the mind-set or world view of the book by the time the important
information is reached.
This trip was the beginning of Dee's quest for the direct experience
of his "Radical Truths." From Antwerp he departed on
a year long tour of the great hermetic thinkers of his time. In
the winter of 1564, he wrote The "Monas Hieroglyphica"
in one long twelve day explosion of insight. In spite of its intentional
obscurity, the "Monas Hieroglyphica" became the renaissance
equivalent of a best seller and attracted comment from the best
minds of the next century and a half.
At the center of the work is a talismanic diagram that resembles
the astrological symbol for Mercury, but with some significant
changes. From this symbol, Dee extrapolated a complex system of
mystical geometry, which he thought embodied the underlying unity,
or monas, of the universe. However, having no desire for a heresy
charge, Dee left the application of this universal symbology rather
vague.
His readers, who knew the code and could understand the meaning
and implied practical applications, made Dee's work into one of
the cornerstones of Alchemy. They thought that Dee had discovered
a universal symbol that, when engraved in the psyche, would allow
man to experience the gnostic revelation. This revelation, in
which all knowledge -- gnosis -- was received, then allowed one
to operate as a lens or focus for spiritual activity. We can think
of this idea as the basic definition of a shaman or a magician.
After 1564, Dee published only mathematical and scientific
works. His edition of Euclid, with the "Mathematical Preface,"
appeared in 1570, and in 1577 his "Perfect Arte of Navigation"
was published. Virtually nothing else appeared in print in his
lifetime. Apparently, during the 1570's, his interest in the "Radical
Truths" came to outweigh everything else. Dee had achieved
earthly fame and had made significant contributions to the development
of several hard sciences in his own time. Increasingly, it must
have seemed that only non-local, non-physical intelligences could
answer Dee's ever more complex questions.
From 1563 on, Dee had the tools and the basic understanding
to embark on an exploration of angelic communication, the idea
that had led him to copy Trithemius with such excitement. His
notes, however, record only a few attempts, done without much
enthusiasm. That is, until the angel rapped on the window.
The logic of turning to supernatural forces for knowledge about
the universe seems strange to our modern scientific sensibilities.
This is a category of experience that "science" has
labeled subjective and therefore suspect. To Dee's contemporaries
it seemed less unusual. The possibility of acquiring knowledge
by revelation or inspiration was a vital component of the renaissance
paradigm. In the "Mathematical Preface" to his edition
of Euclid, Dee asserts that man "participates with Spirits,
and Angels: and is made to the Image and Similitude of God."
He also notes that there are powerful precedents for angelic communication,
the traditions of Enoch and Esdras, Abraham and Elijah and Moses,
and "sundry others thy good angels were sent (to) by thy
disposition, to Instruct them."
John Dee's encounter with the angel was the defining moment
in his life. As if he had been waiting for just such a sign, some
token of divine favor perhaps, Dee launched into a search for
a way to use the quartz egg as a means of communication with the
shining angelic beings. His first serious attempt, on December
22, 1581, involved a man by the curious name of Barnabus Saul,
one of Dee's servants, who acted as a medium or seer. Apparently,
he was a better footman than a medium, for after a few sessions
we hear no more about him.
By March 1582, however, Dee's seer had located him.
***
"Mortlake: In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen. In the year
1582, on the 10th day of March, before noon, Saturday.
"One Mr. Edward Talbot came to my house and he being willing
and desirous to see or show some thing in spiritual practice.
. ."
So begin Dee's notes of his first scrying session with his
new seer, Edward "Talbot" Kelly. At first, Dee was suspicious
of the young man, and rightly so. He appeared unannounced, offering
a fake name -- he might have been a spy seeking information on
Dee's spirit conjurations -- and even when identified proved to
have an unsavory reputation. Dee soon resolved his doubts however;
and, on an early spring morning roughly a year after Dee's angelic
visitation, they sat down to a trial run with the scrying stone.
It is hard not to be impressed by the vivid quality of the quickly
written notes of the proceedings. Kelly fell to his knees before
Dee's desk and began to pray over the stone; surprised, Dee took
Kelly and the stone into his chapel, or oratory.
Within a quarter of an hour, Kelly began to see an angelic
shape in the crystal. This being identified itself as the Archangel
Uriel, accompanied by Raphael and Michael. Dee was hooked by this
immediate success, and so began a long strange relationship between
these two men and the angels. For the next seven years, they conducted
almost daily sessions. Dee of course wrote everything down in
his "Spiritual Diaries," and reading them becomes after
a while an exercise in applied surrealism. As an example of a
dialogue with the deep unconscious Other, they are unparalleled.
At this first session, the Archangel Uriel revealed his sigil,
a rather stylized energy signature, and gave preliminary instructions
for a powerful talisman called the Sigil of Truth. Fashioned of
wax, it was meant to be used in all future sessions as the base
for the scrying crystal. This seal or sigil is at first glance
similar to earlier ones by Aggripa and Reuchlin, but the version
the spirits produced for Dee and Kelly is more detailed and aesthetically
satisfying. Designed as an embedded heptagram/heptagon with a
pentagram in the center, the Sigil of Truth theoretically acted
as a template or pattern buffer for truthful communication.
The Sigil of Truth also functioned as a geometric foundation
on which the rest of the angelic system grew. Around the outer
edge of the Sigil is a series of letters and numbers. From these,
the angels derived a series of great elemental names, which were
said to describe the forces ruling each elemental tablet. The
names of the angelic beings within the heptagon/heptagram were
transmitted in the form of letters arranged in squares. These
squares were then read in different directions to produce even
more angelic names. This gives the impression of a vast fractal
universe in which the nature of the intelligence consulted depends
on the symmetry angle of your approach.
On March 26, Kelly was shown a great book with the leaves filled
with squares. For the next 13 months, Dee and Kelly struggled
to copy the contents of this angelic
