The Final Ascent of the Aquarian Magus
Harnessing Dual Energies in the Aquarian Age
In the evolving tapestry of the cosmos, where the Age of Aquarius heralds a time of awakening and the shattering of old paradigms, the essence of duality permeates through the fabric of existence. It is within this duality that the powers of the Source are revealed, accessible to those who dare to step beyond the veil of the tyrannical rule, often personified in the ancient energies of deities such as Yahweh. This part of the guide delves into the art of harnessing these dual energies, embracing the inherent power within and transcending the chains of dogma to achieve a state of self-regulation and spiritual sovereignty.
To commence this journey, one must first understand that every being in this universe, be it of light or shadow, angelic or demonic, human or Elohim, is interconnected. The Absolute Reality, impersonal in nature, is not devoid of emotion but rather brimming with it, orchestrating a symphony where all forms of consciousness are invited to contribute their unique melodies. As we embrace this age, collaboration becomes a key to unlocking the doors of spiritual evolution.
The path to transcendence is forged by self-regulation. It is an art form, a delicate balance of will and grace, where one’s actions are no longer governed by guilt or fear, but by the beauty of life itself. Guilt, a tool used by the forces that seek to maintain control, loses its grip on those who find harmony within themselves. Fear, another weapon in their arsenal, dissipates when one is aligned with the true self.
Remember the golden rules laid down through the ages: to treat others as one would like to be treated, to value the pearls of wisdom and not cast them before those who cannot appreciate their worth, and to follow the Law of Thelema as proposed by Aleister Crowley, which states,
“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the Law, Love under will.”
These are not mere words but keys to unlock the inner potential that resides in every individual.
To navigate through the shadows of guilt and fear, the magician must embody justice, holding the scales of balance, assessing every thought, action, and intention with the precision of a sage. When in need, the esoteric wisdom encourages seeking the counsel of divine archetypes, be it the nurturing energy of a goddess, the transformative fire of the morning star, or the all-encompassing knowledge of the scribe of the heavens.
In this new era, the number 21 emerges as a significant symbol of transformation, a beacon guiding through the dark night of the soul. It represents the death of the old self and the birth of the new. It is the sum of human experience, combining thought, emotion, and action, encouraging one to cultivate patience, trust in the divine spark within, and a deeper understanding of one’s life purpose.
The mastery of the number 21 lies in the acknowledgment that there is no absolute good or bad, only experiences shaped by perception. It invites one to partake in the world’s pleasures with awareness and self-control, avoiding the pitfalls of indulgence. This number, symbolic of the world itself, calls for a completion of cycles and the readiness to embark on new journeys.
The ethos of unbridled authenticity and individuality forms the bedrock of a journey that is deeply personal and unique to each seeker. Embracing the principle of ‘doing whatever one desires’, it is essential to navigate this path with a keen sense of self-awareness and authenticity.
However, it is crucial to remember that, despite the freedom to choose our path, we remain intricately woven into the fabric of the universe’s laws, of which Karma is a fundamental thread. This cosmic law acts as an impartial judge, ensuring that every action resonates with an equal and corresponding reaction.
Not even the mightiest of Elohim, not Yahweh himself, stands above these universal principles. Thus, while we embrace our individuality and freedom, we must do so with the understanding that our choices and actions are perennially entwined with the immutable laws that govern existence itself, ensuring balance and harmony within the vast expanses of the cosmos.
As one embraces the full spectrum of energies that the universe has to offer, the consciousness expands, allowing the self to emerge reborn from the ashes like a phoenix. This is the ultimate alchemy, where the cutting off of limiting beliefs and the embrace of self-regulation lead to the divine realization that one is, indeed, the creator of their reality. It is here, in this state of empowered being, where one truly understands the essence of being one’s SELF – the purest expression of True Nature.
Embracing the Magick of Self-Regulation
In the pursuit of the esoteric, the understanding and mastery of one’s inner world is paramount. Self-regulation is the alchemist’s stone, the magick that transmutes base impulses into spiritual gold. This section explores the inner workings of self-regulation and how it facilitates the transition from the mundane to the divine, allowing the practitioner to operate from a place of power and authentic existence.
The journey of self-regulation begins with the recognition of the triad of creation—thoughts, emotions, and actions. Like the ancient symbol of the triquetra, each aspect is interdependent and must be aligned for the magick to manifest. Thoughts are the seeds, emotions the energy that gives them life, and actions are the fruits borne from this union. To regulate oneself is to tend this garden with mindfulness, ensuring that each thought is planted with intention, each emotion nurtured with wisdom, and each action harvested with care.
Within this triad lies the number 21, a potent symbol of transformation and transition. It is a call to the initiate to embrace change, to recognize the cyclical nature of existence, and to manifest destiny through deliberate choice. The age-old wisdom encapsulated in the number teaches that through patience and the embrace of intuitive knowledge, one can achieve prosperity and manifest positive experiences. The number 21 is not only a measure of cycles but a guide for rebirth, signaling the end of one chapter and the commencement of a new, higher calling.
To engage with this sacred number is to acknowledge the oscillation between death and rebirth. It is to become independent, to break free from the subconscious shackles of dependency archetypes, and to step into the light of self-sufficiency. Acceptance of both the light and shadow within oneself without judgment is key, for in this acceptance, the binary of good and bad dissolves into a spectrum of experience. The initiate is encouraged to commit to life in its fullness, understanding that the concept of ‘sin’ can be reinterpreted as a call to celebrate life responsibly and joyously.
In this context, the number 21 also symbolizes the world itself, the macrocosm within which the microcosm of the individual experience is reflected. The concept of ‘as above, so below’ is exemplified as the initiate realizes that the external world is a mirror of their internal state. By mastering the self, one can, in turn, master their reality.
The practice of self-regulation is not merely an act of will but a rebellion against the programming of the ego and the super-ego. The super-ego, with its societal-installed morals, often stands in opposition to the innate moral compass of the individual. It is through the cultivation of personal ethics, separate from the collective narrative, that one finds authenticity. This act of rebellion is the true path to freedom, where the voice of the SELF—pure, unadulterated, and true to one’s essence—becomes the only voice one chooses to heed.
To walk this path is to vibrate with the very essence of life, as stated in the Hermetic teachings of The Kybalion,
“Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”
This vibrational state is the essence of magick, where the observer and the observed are one, and the act of observation itself becomes a transformative experience.
Self-regulation entails grasping the mystical essence of the number 21, a symbol of transformation and progress. This understanding highlights the journey’s reliance on the interconnectedness of thought, emotion, and action. As one embarks on this path, it becomes imperative to foster a mindset rooted in optimism and courage.
By nurturing positive thoughts and embracing a spirit of creativity and inspiration, the seeker sets the stage for a successful and fulfilling spiritual quest. This holistic approach underscores the importance of aligning one’s internal state with external actions, weaving together the threads of mental, emotional, and physical realms to manifest a harmonious and enlightened existence.
In the practice of self-regulation, the focus is on desired outcomes, the meticulous shaping of one’s life according to one’s highest aspirations. The key lies in changing one’s thoughts, directing attention exclusively towards what is truly sought after, and discarding any focus on the undesirable.
Through the adoption of right thought, right action, and right feeling, the initiate ensures that their future experiences will reflect their highest intentions. By embodying the SELF, one becomes free from the limiting beliefs that bind, and in this liberation, one finds the magick of self-regulation—a tool not only for personal transformation but for the reshaping of the world itself.
The Path of the Sovereign Soul
The final chapter in our exploration of esoteric empowerment draws us into the profound realization that no single force reigns supreme over the vastness of creation. The recognition that Yahweh is but one facet among the pantheon of Elohim opens the door to an expansive universe where all forms of consciousness, from Elohims to Angels, from Demons to Humans, are called to unite in the great work of the cosmos. Here we delve into the art of co-creation with these diverse energies, the renouncement of guilt and fear as tools of control, and the embracing of Absolute Reality as the sole worthy focus of reverence.
In the intricate dance of existence, the power to shape reality is not reserved for the few; it is an innate ability that resides within each being. Harnessing the power of the Source becomes a sacred task for those who seek to operate beyond the confines of imposed guilt and fear. Life, in its truest essence, unfolds in its full glory when one is liberated from these binds, revealing a world where guilt is understood as a weapon of control rather than an intrinsic truth.
As magicians on this plane, it is understood that the journey is often fraught with challenges, the proverbial ‘dark night of the soul’ that every seeker must traverse. In these times of trial, the wisdom of the ages suggests turning to the divine archetypes for guidance and support. Deities such as Inanna, whose essence embodies the totality of human experience; Shiva, the destroyer who paves the way for new creation; Lucifer, the morning star that heralds the dawn of enlightenment; and Metatron, the scribe of celestial wisdom, become allies and mentors on this path.
These archetypal forces do not demand subservience but instead offer their assistance to those who seek to help themselves and others. It is a symbiotic relationship where the elevation of one’s consciousness contributes to the collective ascension. The magician who navigates life’s complexities with the help of these entities also aids in the liberation of other ‘monads,’ the sparks of divinity that are seeking to return to the ineffable Source.
The ultimate realization comes in the knowing that no being, no Elohim, no deity is above or beyond the reach of the ineffable Absolute Reality. This profound truth dismantles the pedestals of worship and brings forth the understanding that divinity is not to be sought externally but recognized within. The act of worship is thus transformed into an acknowledgment of the divine that permeates all.
In this journey of self-sovereignty, one must die to the old ways, to the habitual patterns and limiting beliefs that have defined one’s existence thus far. This death is not an end but a rebirth, an emergence from the ashes as a phoenix rises, resplendent and renewed. The magus who emerges from this transformation no longer seeks to cut off Yahweh’s consciousness but to transcend it, to embody a higher state of being where self-regulation and responsibility are the cornerstones of their existence.
Self-regulation is not merely a discipline; it is the foundation of godhood in the sense that it allows one to stand as a creator, a sovereign entity that wields the power of the Source with intention and wisdom. To take responsibility is to acknowledge one’s role as a co-creator of reality, to embrace the creative force that flows through all things and to shape it with purpose and insight.
The path to becoming ‘god’ in this context is not one of seeking dominion over others but of achieving mastery over oneself. It is a state where the individual operates from a place of alignment with the Absolute, where every thought, every action, and every moment of existence is an expression of divine will aligned with personal will.
In closing, the journey of the esoteric practitioner is a continuous cycle of death and rebirth, of learning and unlearning, of embracing the totality of existence with all its paradoxes. It is a path that demands courage, conviction, and an unwavering commitment to the self, for it is in the true knowing and expression of the SELF that one attains the highest state of consciousness. This is the magnum opus, the great work of the soul, where one becomes not just a witness to the divine but an active participant in the eternal dance of creation.
Sovereign Alchemy of the Aquarian Dawn
In the dawning Aquarian light,
Where dual forces gently unite,
Elohim’s myriad faces shine bright,
A cosmic dance, devoid of spite.
Self-regulate, the sages say,
Forge the gold from feet of clay,
Fear and guilt, we must allay,
For in our truth, we find the way.
Seek the counsel of the stars,
Inanna’s wisdom, Shiva’s scars,
Lucifer’s dawn, Metatron’s bars,
Guiding souls from near to far.
Through the night of soul’s dark fear,
Where no single god we revere,
Save the Source, forever near,
Ineffable, crystal clear.
Phoenix rise from ashes old,
Wings alight with fire bold,
Self-made magus, truth be told,
In your grasp, the world you hold.
The sovereign soul now takes its stand,
With the power of the Source in hand,
In this new age, we understand,
We are divine, as was planned.
A poem of paths we weave and sow,
Of inner light that’s set to glow,
The guide within will always know,
As above, so below.
