Daath: The Qabalistic Sephirah of Daath is the conjunction of Chokmah and Binah on the Tree of Life, the Child of Wisdom and Understanding--knowledge. It refers to the symbolic sphere formed within or above the Ruach by means of experience obtained, and this assimilated becomes transmuted into intuition and faculty of mind. But fundamentally it is the ascent of the Dragon or, if you wish, an upwelling of the Unconscius archetypes--a highly dangerous and unbalancing ascent, until they are assimilated to consciousness--which first renders Daath a possibility.

DAATH

The Hebrew word for knowledge. It is an existing/non-existing 11th sephirah on the Tree of Life, the "Gateway to the Other World" (and to the shadow-side of the tree), thence leading to the 22 qliphotic tunnels and their demonic sentinels. By the same token, it is the same doorway through which death, non-existence and Hell come into life. Power brokers who seek knowledge of the left-handed path of darkness must be warned that ego feeds on ignorance.

Daath (Hebrew, Jewish) Knowledge; "the conjunction of Chokmah and Binah, Wisdom and Understanding": sometimes, in error, called a Sephira.

(See also: Daath, Theosophy, Spirituality, Body mind and Soul, Spiritual Dictionary, )

Tiphareth: The sixth Sephirah of the cabalistic Tree of Life, the central Sephirah on the Middle Pillar. The term is a Hebrew word meaning "Beauty." It represents the archetype of the number 6, the descent of the Godhead into consciousness. It corresponds to the divine name YHWH Eloah va-Daath, the archangel Raphael, the angelic choir called Melekim (Kings), and Shemesh, or heavenly Sphere of the Sun.

KURGASIAX

 The 21st kala is the dark equivalent of the Wheel of Fortune, based not on Fate or Chance, but upon curse and malevolence. The accompanying depiction of the card isn't quite perfect. Anubis should be more gleeful and the woman more obviously a corpse. The wheel itself should be slightly smaller, so that the wicked witch can hold it in her hand, since she is a guise of Heimarmene and in charege of it. Her crown should more obscurely resemble the crown of Maat. Nightmares (she is the deliverer thereof) ought to be visible in the smoke shapes rising up out of the flames of burning civilization.

 The wheel is the mark of the beast or Set, which, in turning, activates the powers of the sphinx. The cross is the place of crossing over (Daath), gateway to the Abyss. The tails are the three backward entries connecting to Daath in the sephiroth of Pluto, Jupiter and Venus (Kether, Chesed and Netzach).

Kurgasiax, more than any other of the dungeons, illlustrates how the dark and light sides are inextricably linked. This is the same wheel as the Wheel of Fortune, except that it is viewed here as descending. The Wheel of Kurgasiax moves from high to low, day to night, life to death, whereas the the Wheel of Fortune is rising out ot the negative into the positive. It's called "The Roasting Spit" because it turns to face the the flames of hell after every revolution. (See WHEEL.)

Nevertheless, the magical siddha is "ascendancy", since what sinks most deeply is a reflection of the highest. So the Ray of the Scepter is the weapon of choice in the magickal working. Grant says Crowley regarded this as the formula of Gomorrah (number 315). In esoteric tradition Sodom is the masculine mode and Gomorrah the feminine.

Tiphareth: In Kether is the Radix of a Golden Glory and thence is there a pure, primitive and sparkling, gleaming golden yellow which is reflected unto Tiphareth. Thus is the first reflected Triad completed. And the Sphere of its operation is that of Shemesh, the Solar Light, and bestoweth Life, Light and Brilliancy in metallic matter, and it ruleth the sphere of action of the Sun. And Yhvh Eloha va-Daath is a God of Knowledge and Wisdom, ruling over the Light of the Universe; and its Archangel is Raphael, the Prince of Brightness, Beauty and Life. And the Name of the Order of Angels is Melechim or Malakim, that is Kings or Angelic Kings, who are also called the Order of Virtues, Angels and Rulers. The Angels Peniel and Pelial are also referred unto this Sephira. It especially rules the Mineral world.

AMPRODIAS

The qliphotic guardian of the 11th Tunnel, sometimes connected to Nyarlathotep. He's not the "opposite", but a distortion of The Fool. Instead of being about to walk off the edge of a cliff, here he's seated at the bottom of a crater, at the edge of a pit, whence issue inane bubbles of nothingness. Instead of his warning dog, here we see the idiot flute-playing demons seeking not to advise, but to distract and confuse. Worst of all, the Fool is beyond mere "Folly", because as anyone can plainly see, he has no head at all.

 His disease is diarrhea. His path is that of reversal. Since 11 is the general number for magic and since 11 is also the number of Daath on the Tree of Life, i.e. the "non-existent" sephirah and the gateway to the "other side", Amprodias also has The Fool's number. Zero (the Void) is the number that precedes One (Manifestation). The Zeroeth Level is also the level that precedes even the must elementary level of consensual reality. That is it even precedes solipsism and madness.

NUMEROLOGY

The first thing to remember about numbers is that each number, far from being just an accretion of previous numbers, really is unique. Numbers are the quintessence of symbology, and numerology appeals mostly to the abstract metaphysician, just as, in science, mathematics appeals to the abstract-minded scientist. Numerology, like astrology and palmistry, has a bad reputation because it's so easily misunderstood and misused. Since we can all recognize synchronicity, it's only natural to rush from there to the assumption that coincidence is the same thing as divination. But, synchronicity is nothing more than evidence that there are patterns of many kinds. It would be better if we could de-emphasize the practical side of everything and concentrate on the esthetics. The Egyptians used to teach that the most valuable things are the most useless: the arts, for example, or philosophy, or gold.

Finally, we should remember that it was through the indolent adoption of the easy decimal system (rather than the more perfect and exacting duodecimal system) that Atlantis finally brought itself down. This mathematically lazy way out is exactly the same path for which we have settled.

So numerology is simply the metaphysical side to numbers. One and one, for instance, are two, not because arithmetic says so, but because being equally "unique" they can't be reconciled as one, or "united," and are therefore at odds and in conflict with each other, as opposites in a mutual duality or "duel." Three, on the other hand, is a collection based on some kind of agreement, four a quaternity based on crossed oppositions in perfect balance, and so one.

There are also different ways of dealing with numerology -- theoria and praxis. In gematria, however, the idea is to add up the value of a word and then find other words that add up to the same number. They would thus be equivalents. This works rather well in Hebrew (to a lesser extent in Greek) but rather poorly in English -- simply because of the intrinsic differences between languages. Example: Jehovah has the same value as Chozeh ("seer" or "prophet"). Therefore, to the ancient Jews, God and Prophesy would be practically synonymous.

Numerological reduction is a convenience. It's easier to deal with numbers from 1 to 10 than with great blobs like 847 or 9,556,431. But numerologists also add before reducing. If a room contains 8 people, the numerology lecturer might perhaps decide to deliver his "octave" message. If 3 more people arrived, he'd change that to 11 which has an entirely different meaning from its reduction to 1 + 1 = 2. The higher the number, the more unstable its meaning becomes. For example, 11 stands symbolically for all the higher numbers (above 10), which is why 11 is the number of Sorcery.

The values of the Hebrew letters are: 1-ALEPH, 2-BETH, 3-GIMEL, 4-DALED, 5-HE, 6-VAU, 7-ZAYIN, 8-CHETH, 9-TETH, 10-YOD, 20-KAPH, 30-LAMED, 40-MEM, 50-NUN, 60-SAMECH, 70-AYIN, 80-PE, 90-TZADDE, 100-QOPH, 200-RESH, 300-SHIN, 400-TAV, 500-FINAL K, 600-FINAL M; 700-FINAL N, 800-FINAL P, 900-TZ, 1000-ALEPH (writ large).

In both Arab esoteric studies and in Judaic Cabal, such numbers form anagrams and extend the power of words: e.g., 93=Greek Agape, 398=Neshek, the serpent, and also Messiah.

The meanings of some of the numbers (my own attributions, plus some of Crowley's gematria from Liber 777):

000 Void of Voids, without possibility  of Being.

00 the Double Void

0 Zero, the Void, The Goddess, Infinite Nuit,  the Unmanifest. The "number" out of which everything comes. In the Tarot  it's called "The Fool" because it obey its own mysterious, unknowable rules  and is not subject to analysis. (Although we can and do theorize about it).  It's the Great Mother, the Void, that which lies beyond Alpha and Omega;  Original Mind.

1 Every Creation;  Ultimate Power, God, Hadit the point, Uniqueness; the Manifest (Set, Sirius  B), Pluto; the gods; Kether; Cosmic Consciousness; Yod-Atziluth; Archetypal  world; Aleph; Reason. Egyptian ankh. Fire. The most powerful of all magical  numbers. Number of the individual and the unique. All miracles are possible  once. One is the impossible beginning of everything coming out of the void.  As in music, it bears the stress: ONE-two-three...

2 Matter; The Fall; Opposition; Good & Evil; Neptune;  Chokmah (subject), Moons of Mars, Neptune; Heh-Briah; Dissention. Egyptian  uas; the number of division and opposition, analysis and separation;  Darkness and light; Good and Evil. Mystery.

3 Evolution; Space; Unanimity, Unity, the ALL, multiplication,  Saturn; Binah (object); vav-Yetzirah. Egyptian djed. (Grant assigns 3 to Set  and Satan.) Synthesis, construction. Abundance, fruitfulness. The apparent  "difference" of things in the Gurdjieffian sense -- the template in the  mind. 3 also is the emblem of infinity.

4 Manifestation: the Elements, etc; Jupiter; Chesed;  heh-Assiah. Egyptian nebet. Earth. Number of physical reality, completing  the foundations of things. Practicality. The Authority to be. Command.  Mercy.

5 Consciousness; the hand,  pentagram, man; Mars; Geburah. Moons of Uranus. Chinese elements (Earth,  Fire, Water, Wood, Metal) -- Earth is the fifth element, yellow and central.  The number of mediation, hence: Humanity . Sin, error, but also progress and  knowledge. Without 5 there is no human evolution or purpose. Courage.  Achievement.

6 The Work of Creation;  The Sun; Solar-Phallic energy; Spatial Directions, Harmony; Tiphareth. In  the I Ching, 6 is the number of Yin, i.e., Completion. Time, space  and astronomy. Number of beauty and the power of love.

7 The Totality of Creation; Earth's escape  velocity (M. P. S.); Will; Classical Planets; tones; the inferior power  zones; The Dragon's head; Scorpion; Swastika; Hyena; Serpent, Lion, Ape,  Typhon; Colors in the spectrum; Opportunity (because man develops by 7 year  periods). Number of overcoming, victory, accomplishment. Perfect harmony.  The Virgin, symbol of eternal rather than created things.

8 Infinity (the Lemniscate); Octagon, heaven on  earth or lower sephiroth plus Daath (or 7 planets plus Sothis); Mercury;  Hod, Ogoad, the Buddhist & other 8 path. Perfection. Strength,  fortitude, everlastingness. It is the first cubic number, hence it stands for the cube itself, or earth. Splendor of endurance. The octagon is the  symbol of the meeting of heaven & earth because it is a compromise  halfway between the square (earth) and the circle (heaven).

9 Number of the Moon; Container of all numbers;  Number of known astronomical planets. Eternity; Yesod; Endings, echatology;  Moons of Saturn; Number of Muses; In the I Ching, 9 is the number of  Yang. Arabic Ta (Secret Knowledge ). Number of absolute completion,  perfection and wisdom. Since the ennead is the final limitation, it is the  acceptance of solitude and the beginning of the inward journey to the  Infinite.

10 Earth, Samsara;  Reincarnation; (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) The Tetractys; Yod; number of Sephiroth;  Commandments; planes; Malkuth. This is the number of new beginnings based on  harmonious conclusions to previous activities. It is the lower exponent of  the Monad, the created world. It is the individual, unique power as it  appears in harmonious context with the many other uniquenesses of the world.  It is great fortune.

11 Number of the  years of the sunspot cycle. The general number of magic or sorcery and  magicians -- or energy tending to change. Uranus. Daath (or Egyptian Duat,  Tuat). This is the individual in confrontation with the world. Hence it is  the number of Justice and Balance. It is also the number of war and the  battle with the demonic element.

12  Baptism; Sacrifice; Solar zodiac. The number of the hanged man, i.e.,  sacrifice. This is the individual as he is plunged into the world and at the  same time apart from it.

13 Arachne,  the spider. The scale of the highest feminine unity; easily transformed to  secondary masculine ideas by any male component; or, the unity resulting  from love. Death; Lunar Zodiac; beginning of adolescence; Moons of Jupiter.  Orbits in solar system (including Vulcan, Isis and Osiris). Thirteen is also  the basic Mayan unit of change (13 days to a week) and the number of months  in the Newtime calendar. Number of Death and Metamorphosis -- as the old  life completes, a new life must begin. This is the practical side or physics  of metaphysics. From 13 to 20 may be likened to the stages of an LSD  experience in which the Ego dies and must be totally disintegrated. Then at  20 is reborn and at 21, the Ego is deliberately re-shaped into a new  individual that fits ideally into the world.

14 Number of pieces into which Osiris's body was cut by Set;  Gematria of Zahav. Temperance or Art, it is, the physical means by which one  is able to manipulate and balance the world.

15 Kamea sum of Saturn; Illusion; The Devil. The number of  illusion -- it's the shadow cast by beauty and love. Since it has to do with  darkness as an illusion, the Devil is called Lucifer, the light-bearer. (The  holder of the torch is himself in the darkness.)

16 Number of Eve; Number of human kalas (bodily secretions).  In Egyptian hieroglyphs, 16 symbolized delight because this is the age when  a young man has his first sexual experience. Coitus, thus, is 16 next to 16  = 1616. The Tower of Babel. This is the struggle for Heaven as it erupts in  words -- that is, the understanding of oneself is not always able to  communicate to others.

17 Tantric  number of kalas! The masculine unity. (Trinity of Aleph, Vau, Yod). Star of  the magi. The Star is all those striving things -- hope, ambition, faith,  longing, etc. It feeds on itself and re-invigorates all that it touches. It  accomplishes what The Tower cannot.

18  Percentage of the Moon's surface varying from visible to invisible. The Moon  (twice 9). This is the solitary path itself, leading back into the inner  being and one's own enlightenment.

19  Number of the year of the lunar cycle; Xtian "Golden Number"; The feminine  glyph. The Sun. This is the ultimate, true enlightenment itself; the quest  of all our strivings.

20 Number of days  in the Maya month. Kaph. Resurrection. Rebirth.

21 Mystic number of Tiphareth; Age of majority; 3 x 7. The  World (as it is built back up in a better way).

22 Letters in Hebrew alphabet; Major Arcana; Tunnel  Sentinels.

23 The "glyph of (nascent)  life"; Coincidence and Synchronicity.

29 The  magic force itself, the masculine current. Days in moon cycle, feminine  current. 29 = 2 + 9 = 1 = 2.

30 Number  of degrees in a sign. Ass; Lamedh.

31  Gematria of AL (God) also means "Not," key number of the New Aeon; The  highest feminine trinity -- zero through the glyph of the circle. (Great  Modulus of Zero.)

33 Age of Christ; magical age  in general.

34 Jupiter Kamea  sum.

36 Star sapphire; the Sun; curses.  Platonic duodecimal.

37 111/3; A prime  number; sum of Daath (11) and the 4 Sephiroth of the Middle Pillar (10 + 9 +  6 + 11 + 1). The unity itself in its balanced trinitarian  manifestation.

40 Mem; Babylonian rain  period -- 40 days before festival of New Year, when Pleiades visible. (Thus  Jewish 40 days.) 40 days is the philosophical month and 40 the number of  preparation, waiting, the wisdom of darkness and the natural processes of  solution and disintegration.

Egyptian ankh. Fire. The most powerful of all magical  numbers. Number of the individual and the unique. All miracles are possible  once. One is the impossible beginning of everything coming out of the void.  As in music, it bears the stress: ONE-two-three...

2 Matter; The Fall; Opposition; Good & Evil; Neptune;  Chokmah (subject), Moons of Mars, Neptune; Heh-Briah; Dissention. Egyptian  uas; the number of division and opposition, analysis and separation;  Darkness and light; Good and Evil. Mystery.

3 Evolution; Space; Unanimity, Unity, the ALL, multiplication,  Saturn; Binah (object); vav-Yetzirah. Egyptian djed. (Grant assigns 3 to Set  and Satan.) Synthesis, construction. Abundance, fruitfulness. The apparent  "difference" of things in the Gurdjieffian sense -- the template in the  mind. 3 also is the emblem of infinity.

4 Manifestation: the Elements, etc; Jupiter; Chesed;  heh-Assiah. Egyptian nebet. Earth. Number of physical reality, completing  the foundations of things. Practicality. The Authority to be. Command.  Mercy.

5 Consciousness; the hand,  pentagram, man; Mars; Geburah. Moons of Uranus. Chinese elements (Earth,  Fire, Water, Wood, Metal) -- Earth is the fifth element, yellow and central.  The number of mediation, hence: Humanity . Sin, error, but also progress and  knowledge. Without 5 there is no human evolution or purpose. Courage.  Achievement.

6 The Work of Creation;  The Sun; Solar-Phallic energy; Spatial Directions, Harmony; Tiphareth. In  the I Ching, 6 is the number of Yin, i.e., Completion. Time, space  and astronomy. Number of beauty and the power of love.

7 The Totality of Creation; Earth's escape  velocity (M. P. S.); Will; Classical Planets; tones; the inferior power  zones; The Dragon's head; Scorpion; Swastika; Hyena; Serpent, Lion, Ape,  Typhon; Colors in the spectrum; Opportunity (because man develops by 7 year  periods). Number of overcoming, victory, accomplishment. Perfect harmony.  The Virgin, symbol of eternal rather than created things.

8 Infinity (the Lemniscate); Octagon, heaven on  earth or lower sephiroth plus Daath (or 7 planets plus Sothis); Mercury;  Hod, Ogoad, the Buddhist & other 8 path. Perfection. Strength,  fortitude, everlastingness. It is the first cubic number, hence it stands for the cube itself, or earth. Splendor of endurance. The octagon is the  symbol of the meeting of heaven & earth because it is a compromise  halfway between the square (earth) and the circle (heaven).

9 Number of the Moon; Container of all numbers;  Number of known astronomical planets. Eternity; Yesod; Endings, echatology;  Moons of Saturn; Number of Muses; In the I Ching, 9 is the number of  Yang. Arabic Ta (Secret Knowledge ). Number of absolute completion,  perfection and wisdom. Since the ennead is the final limitation, it is the  acceptance of solitude and the beginning of the inward journey to the  Infinite.

10 Earth, Samsara;  Reincarnation; (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) The Tetractys; Yod; number of Sephiroth;  Commandments; planes; Malkuth. This is the number of new beginnings based on  harmonious conclusions to previous activities. It is the lower exponent of  the Monad, the created world. It is the individual, unique power as it  appears in harmonious context with the many other uniquenesses of the world.  It is great fortune.

11 Number of the  years of the sunspot cycle. The general number of magic or sorcery and  magicians -- or energy tending to change. Uranus. Daath (or Egyptian Duat,  Tuat). This is the individual in confrontation with the world. Hence it is  the number of Justice and Balance. It is also the number of war and the  battle with the demonic element.

12  Baptism; Sacrifice; Solar zodiac. The number of the hanged man, i.e.,  sacrifice. This is the individual as he is plunged into the world and at the  same time apart from it.

Death; Lunar Zodiac; beginning of adolescence; Moons of Jupiter.  Orbits in solar system (including Vulcan, Isis and Osiris). Thirteen is also  the basic Mayan unit of change (13 days to a week) and the number of months  in the Newtime calendar. Number of Death and Metamorphosis -- as the old  life completes, a new life must begin. This is the practical side or physics  of metaphysics. From 13 to 20 may be likened to the stages of an LSD  experience in which the Ego dies and must be totally disintegrated. Then at  20 is reborn and at 21, the Ego is deliberately re-shaped into a new  individual that fits ideally into the world.

14 Number of pieces into which Osiris's body was cut by Set;  Gematria of Zahav. Temperance or Art, it is, the physical means by which one  is able to manipulate and balance the world.

15 Kamea sum of Saturn; Illusion; The Devil. The number of  illusion -- it's the shadow cast by beauty and love. Since it has to do with  darkness as an illusion, the Devil is called Lucifer, the light-bearer. (The  holder of the torch is himself in the darkness.)

16 Number of Eve; Number of human kalas (bodily secretions).  In Egyptian hieroglyphs, 16 symbolized delight because this is the age when  a young man has his first sexual experience. Coitus, thus, is 16 next to 16  = 1616. The Tower of Babel. This is the struggle for Heaven as it erupts in  words -- that is, the understanding of oneself is not always able to  communicate to others.

17 Tantric  number of kalas! The masculine unity. (Trinity of Aleph, Vau, Yod). Star of  the magi. The Star is all those striving things -- hope, ambition, faith,  longing, etc. It feeds on itself and re-invigorates all that it touches. It  accomplishes what The Tower cannot.

PERICHORESIS

The word is Greek, as you might imagine: peri "around" + choreio "dance." But for the Greeks "dancing" wasn't the aimless shuffling we do. It was more like ballet. "Choreography" is a lot closer to the idea -- in which particular movements are carefully planned and executed. Travel from one dimension to another occurs simultaneously on all levels of reality. We travel in and out of the astral during sleep every night and think nothing of it. And, as you know, when the shaman interfaces with the earth by taking narcotic mushrooms or cacti into his system, he's moving deliberately and consciously between universes.

Parallel worlds stretch horizontally from sinister to dexter, or rather, from increasing shades of darkness to increasing degrees of light. Beings entering from the darkside are perceived by us not as merely ignorant but as demonic, whereas the wisdom of the beings from the lightside stands so far beyond our recognition that we see them simply as angelic beings. Depending on the level of reality that we happen to occupy, the dark and light worlds are perceived as more or less similar to the world we currently inhabit. On some levels of reality, the transfiguration is reversed and we perceive them as inhabiting regions above and below a horizontal plane of reality that stretches into inaccessible temporal limits of Past and Future. In such a world, reality is a given that is perceived as revealing itself only at such Past and Future vanishing points -- Alpha and Omega.

Everywhere horizontal parallel plane meets vertical parallel levels and an Aeon is established, symbolized by a cross. If the cross, however is not circumscribed by a circle (the familiar symbol of cross in circle, representing "earth"), there is no cohesion and the center does not hold. The so-called "extremes," in fact, are not extremes at all, but merely their own opposites in a spinning circle.

Because of the nature of infinity, we have to recognize that we may never stand at any of the four extremities, but always only at the exact center of the omniverse.

Notice also that in any formal religious painting, the god or saint is always placed in the exact center. If he is raised too high from the center, the lower world is given undue importance and power, because, after all, in completely "secular" pictures, the God has been raised so high as to have been left out of the picture altogether! Placing the God too far down divests him of his divinity because his intensity looks, on our level, simply grotesque. Likewise, if the God is placed too far to the left or right, an imbalance is also created.

Thus, uncircumscribed, the ends of the cross stretch unchecked into the infinite four directions and an uncontrollable wickedness is set forth into all manifestations. Without the "earthing" of the cross, there is no manifestation. The extremities lead only into infinite "otherness" and delusion. It is the inner being at the solar plexus that is the heart of the universe. When we nail (i.e., Christianize) the higher spirit of man to an ancient quadratic event, the center is blocked and closed forever. Moreover, the center has been locked in the past, away from the Eternal Now. Until the nail (Xtianity) has been pulled out, no further evolution is possible and Death will prevail.

The way out is toward the central, innermost point.

The parallel world-planes are accessible at all times. We move in and out of them constantly, but are mostly unaware of having done so. Occasionally we get the feeling that "things are suddenly different" or that "something is about to happen" and that means we've inadvertently stepped into a new probable world that is much different from the ones we've hitherto occupied. You can move back into the world you've just left, only if you do so at once.

Whatever can be imagined, exists, will exist or has existed. Whatever has existed or will exist continues to exist now because time is one of the four real dimensions of things. Alongside this Reality there are an infinite number of co-existent realities of equal "solidity" and "substance." There are also an infinite number of "probable" realities and an infinite number of "possible" worlds. A moment's reflection will show that if this is so, then, obviously, available access to them must not be merely possible, but inevitable. Jane Robert's Seth describes the infinite "probable worlds" stretching out in either direction from this one. The closest ones being hardly distinguishable from this, as we progress outward, the probable worlds become stranger, increasingly incomprehensible and frighteningly unpredictable. In the fifth dimensional world, four dimensional objects have their own much more complete and solid "substance" which we cannot perceive so long as we inhabit lower planes of being.

You can, however, willingly and deliberately get up and walk from this world into the nearest adjacency and from there to the next, and the next. The only problem is that you're playing roulette. There's no way of telling what kind of world you are moving into.

If you are seeking to avoid some trouble in this world, be advised that things could be a lot worse in the world next door. Moreover, if you leave unsolved problem behind, your karma will continue to take you back there in future lives until eventually you are forced to solve them. On top of that, if you leave muddy footprints behind you as you run through world after world, you'll have added onto your present karma the extra burden of going back to mop them up.

Actual entrance/exit sites are a matter of intuitive perception. Dimensional doorways are not likely, for instance, to be found in your living room. They need to be places you've never crossed before (except as interdimensional thresholds). It's best to look for two pillars to pass between -- a couple of tall trees in a forest or park make excellent pillars. The more difficult the access the better. And the direction and angle of entrance are crucial. Select a "picture" framed by the trees as most nearly representing the world you want to leave behind you and before you a picture of what intuitively or esthetically looks to be an improvement of that. Make sure that nothing passes across your line of vision as you are actually walking through. If necessary, keep your eyes closed or look down at your feet.

At first the difference between adjacent worlds is scarcely discernible. Variations only become immediately evident at some distance. But if you are observant, you will eventually begin to notice tiny, subtle changes for the better (or worse). By the time these changes become evident, it's already too late to go back where you came from. The metaphors of artistic symbolism, religion and magic can also assist in perichoretic travel. With the enhanced ability to will and to imagine, the human mind can perceive parts of alternate realities with increasing clarity and may begin to see how to transform the reality we normally inhabit. In fact, so many are the pathways to alternate experience, it's a wonder anyone still believes that reality has but a single face!

There is, to be sure, ultimately only the One Plenum in which everything else transpires, but that sphere transcends experience in the Void of Nirvana.

Although, as we've seen above, there are relatively easy methods of interplanary travel (between planes), the ability to discover significant doorways into alternate dimensions, advanced perichoresis, not only requires an out-of-the-ordinary state of consciousness, but is a difficult technique in its own right, mastered properly only by experienced shamans. For instance, travel through time in the past requires us to move "forward" (i.e., towards the Beginning of Time) simply by ignoring vast areas of experience and being -- as we also do in the present -- in order to maintain a strict continuity of our own. Travel from the future (i.e., the End of Time), however, even though employing the same declination, creates an ever-thickening wall behind us, preventing all possibility of return to the starting point.

Kenneth Grant (Outside the Circles of Time) provides us with insights into the sexual avenue of interdimensional perichoresis and at the same time describes the procedure for creating a "moonchild." In his system, the door to our world opens inward in order for us to receive extratellurian immigrants.

Bipolar human sexuality, explains Grant, parallels cosmogenesis and the sacred void corresponds to the female vagina. Everything comes out of and falls back into this same eternal darkness. The creative light is sucked into its bottomless depths where it is swallowed up by vampiric blackness. Therefore, the doorway to the vacuum or zero of space is a priestess who has been chosen for her "master of the art of dream control." By allowing herself to become a mirror of impression-reception, she is able to generate illusions, "for all form is fantasy, and exists only in the dreaming mirror of the mind."

A material looking glass is placed above her, slanted to receive the starlight. Now, by her psychic ability she can project whatever star morph the magician requires onto the looking glass. A second mirror, creating an infinite regression reflection is placed 11 feet away, eleven being the number of the famous 11th Pathway of Black Magic. The circle of Daath is the corresponding doorway in the Qabalah.

Thereupon the priest uses his penis as the intergalactic conduit of the astro-seminal energy. His vibrations and invocations encourage the dream-manipulating priestess to focus the desired star-morph entity onto the mirrors. In the ultimate orgasm of priest, priestess and dream-entity, the eldolon rises briefly to life and erupts from the mirror as its starseed transmission runs down from the star to impregnate her. The zygote achieved by this cosmocopulation is a unique blend of human and extraterrestrial "genes."

According to most students, monstrous beings invisible to ordinary consciousness are entering our universe in unprecedented numbers, through this same interdimensional sexual doorway. (Apparently our time is a vector of unique significance.) The fantasy film, Ghostbusters, was a facetious rendering of this understanding, but revealed a good deal more than most viewers realized. Kenneth Grant teaches a heterosexual tantrism by which one may ride out again through the same door on the back of one of these demonic beasts and thereby escape. He calls this, again, the 11th Pathway. Others propose that there are homosexual and even solitary practices what serve this purpose equally well.

Sex and death are the two most common and well-known methods of conveyance between worlds, but such exclusively Scorpionic merkabahs are by no means the only ones. All of these methods follow the horizontal direction of planes to left and right, from darkness into light, or vice versa. There is also travel in the vertical direction from layers of reality and consciousness above and below. These cris-crossing horizontal and vertical planes endlessly extend out and recede into the vastnesses. Some of the planes are commonly thought, by the average person, to be "schizophrenic" because they appear to leave the traveller suspended in his "own little world." But such planes are of great importance to the magician or yogin. Reality, we must understand, is entirely a matter of the manipulation of illusion. The teacher, Gurdjieff, once pointed out that there is only one thing in the entire universe, but it is repeated endlessly in order to provide the illusion of "difference." Even chemistry and physics bear this out. The difference between each element is simply a difference in the number of their atomic electrons: Hydrogen 1, Helium 2, Lithium 3...

Some writers believe that there are denizens of other dimensions who use various perichoretic chariots that resemble the astral projections of those whose time and locality they visit. For Ezekiel and Daniel it was a fiery wheel bearing the tetramorph. For the Dogons it was a star ship. For our great grandfathers in the 19th Century it was frequently an airship. But they aren't just psychic experiences, say the witnesses, ufo's leave evidence behind ... a burned-out circle on the lawn, a map with indecipherable writing, MIBs, etc.

My own interdimensional visits to "the Other Side" have been neither A.D.E.'s nor OOBE's. They have occurred either through true-dreaming or by psychotropic methods, i.e., strictly via astral travel. In all, I have several times visited the "conventional" Astral Plane -- or abode of the (after-dead) spirits, three or four times encountered higher beings (although only at a distance), dwelt in the All-Consciousness of All-Phyla and once visited a previous time. Lately I have begun experimenting with ordinary consciousness as a routine means of perichoresis. The occult path I've travelled (until now) has always been the lonely one of the hermit. The beings I've encountered have been the traditional custodians of the pathways, that is to say, those archetypes hovering somewhere between being and non-being. Else they comprise the angels, Gods and daimones of pantheons we already know. But I have increasingly come under the purview of something more important: the existence of what seems to be an infinite number of Eternal Doorways between worlds. These doorways are available to us, of course, under very special circumstances -- that is to say, in altered psychic states lying clearly outside normal consciousness: Yoga, Tantra, sex magic, primitive rites of passage, repetitive rhythms (micro-events), sensory deprivation or stimulation, pain, extreme trauma, trance, all the multifarious REM/sleep/hypnotic states, rushes of adrenaline or fatigue intoxication, epilepsy, metamorphic anomaly, drug intoxication, illness, psychosis proper, thanatolepsy and death. (See SOLIPSISM.)

Da`ath (Hebrew) Knowledge or science, frequently insight or wisdom; in the Qabbalah of Luriah, a triad is made of Hochmah (Father), Binah (Mother), and Da`ath (Son). This emanation does not occur in the ancient Qabbalah, nor is it one of the Sephiroth there.
