simultaneous coincidence of several aeons

Today, it is possible to accept the possibility of the simultaneous coincidence of several aeons. This is, of course, a logical development of the assumption that a magical universe exists for each individual; we are all different but we have been conditioned to believe that we all live in the same world. However, this is not so. We all project and live in different worlds, and each individual must create his own magical universe and, by a kind of oneiric perichoresis, evolve his own qabalah and manifest his own truth (maat).

The process of true incarnation is therefore threefold; and it is identical with

the proper creation or formulation of a magical universe;

the projection of it on to the plasmic mirror-substance of the Outer;

the successful installation of the Adept at the centre of his universe.

Much misunderstanding relating to the mechanics of reincarnation arises from failure to realize that no individual can begin to tread the Mystical Path, so called, until he has ‘given up the world’; not the world of the inchoate outer, but the magical universe created by the Adept as a vehicle for his functioning. He can surrender this shell only when he has truly incarnated within it, and, having vitalized it, mastered it utterly. This is the supreme sacrifice, for — failing this — he is cast as it were naked into the abyss. Not the abyss that separates the supernals from the remainder of the Tree, but the abyss that exists within the central column or trunk of the Tree, the Nothingness that radiates All, the spider at the centre of the web of the outer or illusory universe. Until this point is grasped and thoroughly assimilated, the incarnation and death of the magician and his rebirth as a mystic into the star-system of the A∴A∴ cannot be comprehended. It is the puerile misinterpretation of this doctrine that has led the uninitiated to suppose that it is the world of outer sense only that has to be surrendered. One cannot give up that which one does not possess. Hence the number of dead magicians is legion; the birth of a mystic, rare.

Only such a fully realized universe is a magical universe, a world of the Spirit capable of receiving impressions from ‘outside’.  All else is the subjective chaos of a merely mental construct that is born of the ego, earthed and earthy.

minos was such a pussy. if my wife gave birth to an epic minotaur baby i wouldn't have locked him in a labyrinth. i would have taken him to the mcdonalds play place (athens) every day and let him eat as many stray mcnuggets (athenians) off the floor as he wanted. i love you hungry son
