Merry Meet and Blessed Be,
Members have asked for a review of safe higher order casting of shift, beyond sight. This will be such a review for the Mabon and upcoming Samhain ritual for the closing shift. The following will be an edited transcript from my presentation at Coven-Meet, January of 2015. It is funny explaining things as I understand them.
Because I try to always rewrite in my own terms to make sure I know what I am saying, rather than just sound like I know what I am saying. Many of the people who get the highest grades, or positions of moderate acclaim, merely learn the buzz words, and the order in which they go; and since they are saying the right thing, and in the right way – they can never be corrected.
However, far too seldom does this style of learning lead to understanding.
Glossing Over Before Crossing Over: Pedagogy of Alchemy
Naturally, a revision of some underlying high order casting concepts are required for this level of silent invoking power practice. It is common to quip these days that “we are all just energy” – but what does this really mean? By the end of this presentation I will have made this vapid statement lucid and clear to all initiates, whose dues are paid up in full.
Without the historical alchemical exploration, but not wanting to gloss over too much as “assumed knowledge for the adept” either; I have decided to focus on where, in my humble experience, “glossing over” occurs in much of the main stream. This results in rote learning where, though people say the right things in the correct order, so as to never be corrected; so to do they all too often never really understand. Where they gloss over things is the progression of higher shelf energy levels. Without even a vague explanation beyond formula, eg with electrons it goes 2; 8; 18; 32 – but why?
I do understand formulae as description – but how can I trust that they do, if there is no translational element to their dialogical stonewalled dialectic? And I am reasonably sure it is just laws of physics observed. That is to say larger space means more distance for charge to separate naturally to the comfortable distance equilibrium. Meaning, therefore, higher subs have more orbitals because there is just literally more room.
And “higher” energy because the outer subs, at full energy, have more orbital space cf lower shells. And “2” electrons on a given orbital just because that is how it seems to go: observation wise, anyway, from experiment by extension, and mathematically for equilibrium reasoning. But, naturally, we know that this won’t really likely be the case under scrutiny. Certainly not the whole story.
Protons won’t always be situated symmetrically, for example. Order is far more interactive. Constructed. And it is their force, the protons in this case, that in many ways directly define the shell; the manifest properties on interaction; and the shell sphere field shape. There is omitted information that, perhaps, is not truly “missing”.
They are almost certainly not really spheres, for a start. Not really orbits either. I mean, we are talking about a non static mutable energy field. And when you get to electrons popping in and out of existence, or theories that postulate there is only one electron in the whole of existence, as some kind of uni-entity that traverses dimensions we don’t directly deal with – it does make exams from rote learning more difficult to justify. Creative papers which demonstrate personal understanding is surely where assessment should trend; but that is a digression too far.
Electron Clouds – The Mind
This can be counter intuitive. I have never understood why electrons are referred to as discrete units, ie single electrons. Probably something akin to voltage without resistance, but in my classes it was simply never taught. The nucleus. The rings – useless.
Calling Your Cloud
It is preferable to think of them as cloud field energy levels at shell super position potentialities – but chemistry doesn’t need me making up terms, it is pretty established as a science. And doing quite well for itself, on this plane. I don’t think many would argue against that, on the whole. And good on it. We lose nothing in being pleased for it. But there must be a mastery of personal knowingness for a conjuring of this level. Which is why we are discouraging the use of this level of character world influence altogether.
If you do not know enough that you have no cause to read this warning: you best not be attempting this level of fabric manipulation in the first place. The fact you have been brought here at all and are reading this right now likely means you needed to be warned. Asked to be warned. However, no matter what is recommended; some will always try to swim where their feet can not touch the bottom. It is only out of concern for them, that any guidance is to be provided at all.
The greatest danger is that there are doubtless some who are ready enough to begin, advanced enough to find this article, for example, advanced enough to get into trouble – but no where near ready to delicately master all repercussions, which are brought with them on entry. It is for this reason any who have found this article will hopefully find better mastery, at least for withdrawal and mitigation if they notice tides turning when at the steps.
The hope is that mitigation will be such that the overall hedonic tone of the aethric community, also touching the threads, will remain more or less in tact. Towards this end, and with great trepidation, further instructional information for this conjuring is provided below.
Shadow Shell Negative Entity Awareness
In some form or another, this is what you will see. There is an abstract shadow* set of infinite spheres within spheres that surround a focal nucleus. (*shadow ie “present only in absence” – only when it is being accessed and utilised: a genuine negative entity). Theses spheres within spheres (shells) represent the principal energy level for an orbit space, before energy must move to a higher plane orbit (eg jump to a higher shell sphere). Think of these as the energy power level orbit shell potentials, represented in the negative; which is essentially what they are. The cascade shift occurs here.
For such a massive undertaking – this is why resonant dispositional forces are used in a summoning, and then directed; rather than generated (as would be the case for local current congruent enhancing or dispersion enchanting). See, though capable of being interpreted as a oneness – in application, the energy orbit is not one cloud together; but rather a cluster in set numbers (energy levels) to orbit in different spheric spaces within sphere spaces (“shells” comprised of “subs” or “spheres within spheres”).
A Warning: What One Best Watch Out For
The Intrinsic Names
Do not deal with personified patterns as a rule. But know the generic architecture. There is a middle ground of the already named. At this level – you best be doing the naming. However, in initial vision there is trace intrinsic naming to be aware of in casting at the steps. Sometimes they are just called “shell” or “orbit” by ordinal rank: 1, 2, 3 ect, which tells you the number of subs. Not “king”, not “arch duke” not “arch angel” – this is dangerous, and you will risk losing yourself and coming back lost, bringing chaos, which you have enchanted in binding, with you. Technically a successful conjuring: only with no real command of what you have done, or what parts of your youness did what.
Nothing where ordination is obscured is welcome. You do the naming, or withdraw to a silent, but powerfully focused, meditation as soon as the abhorrent pattern is observed – and preferably before it is engaged – and certainly before a resonance meditation is anchored. Now, this is important: at the steps, where only clear cast sight brings ordinal rank names, eg 1, 2, 3 ect, there is a firm ground for beginning a synch resonance anchor while leaning into a dispositional directional drifting guiding shift; slowly falling simultaneously.
Thus, you best know he astral aethric space as a sanctuary before hand. This is because, as mentioned above; though the steps will have the clear ordination, true enough, that is only a partial read. This, in turn engifts the Magus with a sight, granting near instant knowing of the likely power, subs, and negative shadow potentials there are available to work with – but it does not grant knowledge of spherical orbital hashes, nor locations, nor the energy capacity per orbital sphere. This has to be gleaned in real time during the slow fall conjuration.
It is also worthy of note that the aethric memory at the first step holds an oft reported intrinsic echo that is also a legitimate and stable starting point: ie the outermost shell is often sparked in vision, or named in form, as “reactive”. Additionally, “shelf 1” or “shell 1” is on occasion identified as “shell K”: and then it progresses in the ordinal procession of the Aramaic descendant alphabet from that point (ie L, M, N, O, P ect).
I have never encountered a reasoning for why this is. Often this kind of thing eventuates because it replaced a partial theory of knowing, one since passed into myth. Equally often, however, it is because the alchemist who discovered the dynamic had a mistress named “Kay“, or some such story. In this case, however, I do not know the origin – only that the legitimacy is a path trusted under tread.
Identifying The 5 Steps Of Ascension
At this stage, you will already be engaging the disposition shift synch resonance meditation. It is simply a measure of safety to be able to swiftly identify that you are at the base of the right astral steps, before you begin to ascend. The architecture of the steps will act as an internal astral signpost. What the Magus best be aware of, however, is that the architecture of the steps contain each other as you move along them. All one need remember is that the steps are constructions, bound and given form by their naming, and arising from their descriptions.
Commit this to memory: Each “shelf” defined by their “sub shells”; which are defined by their “orbital spheres”; which are defined by the maximum energy they can hold in their “sphere space”; which is defined by the maximum possible discrete energy unit representations they can hold in orbit; which is defined as a number (hash).
This simply means that a shelf is a collection of sub shells; where each sub has an apparently universally set number of orbital spheres (as negative potentials or “shadows”); and each orbital sphere has a set number of discrete power units it can hold. The sum of the subs’ principle energy unit hashes, in the requisite orbital spheres, correspond exactly to the total energy level potential of the over all shelf (for example; if shelf 2 holds energy units on 2 sub shells – it is still shelf 2 – though inclusive of shelf 1 and its sub(s); but separate to the higher tier shelf 3.
If the subs’ orbital spheres were at maximum energy, then new power units would move to a “higher energy level” or “state” – which is represented by the agent making contact with their personal higher shelf – in this case shelf 3 and its subs, and it’s subs’ orbital spheres, and any energy unit hashes there within. Thus, each higher shelf is inclusive of every shelf which has come before. It is the unit configuration, not maximum shadow potential, which is important. To merely work towards maximising power alone would almost certainly lead only to self destruction. The reasons for this will hopefully become clear in the next section.
Calling The Corners: The SFPD Invocation Focus
Alchemy is known for an apparent focus on one element above all others. Though the truth of this representation is beyond the scope of this piece; the relevant names, and corresponding numbers, required for this conjuration become the letters “S”; “F”; “P”; and “D”. As the first shelf on the steps of ascension contains only one sub shell, named “S”; and “S” contains only one orbital sphere; which can hold a maximum of 2 pure energy units: the total number of representative power, in the shadow, that the first shelf, on the first step, can have is *hash 2 (*written: #II).
The shelves’, subs’, orbital spheres’, pure energy level shadow maximums are also universally dictated. Shelf 2 contains two subs; these 2 subs contain one & three orbital spheres, respectively, which have a max energy level of 2 # each. Therefore, the total number of pure potential shadow energy that the second shelf can hold is 8#, because it includes the 2# from shelf 1 with its one sub, plus what shelf 2 can further hold at it’s higher tier – 2 # in each of the 3 orbital spheres (3×2=6) – within the one additional sub that is shelf tier 2. Shelf tier 1 plus shelf tier 2 = 8# pure power shadow potential, at maximum energy, before shelf tier 3 will be invoked.
Though, it is important to recall, energy does not need to be maximised at a tier for energy unit hashes to have the power to move to a higher level – this is why all of creation has a different pattern and property set.
~ Gold ~
As the alchemists among us will know; there exists energy conformation tree diagrams that adepts have discovered over the years. These diagrams list the energy shelf tier level, sub shells, and energy hash number for each orbital sphere, for each element known. The alchemists among us will also recognise the item below.
It is, of course, the the principal power level and associated energy diagram for gold: which I have written out long hand:
The first number is the shelf tier power level; the second letter is the sub shell named; and the exponent is the pure energy unit hash in the orbital sphere of each subordinate shell. So, as with all in the universe that we are easily able to label as “good” or with “high utility” properties; it is not the maximum possible, but the energy configuration pattern that is important to us. That is the key to energy shifting. That, in the case above, IS quite literally gold.
Gold exists by the energy units arranging across 6 energy power levels; on the sub shell walls named S, P, D and F; and the number of energy unit hashes in the specific orbital spheres of the requisite power level and subordinate shell. The shape of the energy. The signature. The life force energy pattern.
I suppose, you could say, when all things happen, energy exchange occurs. For example metal rusting or, at the more complex end, people aging (or dying): this is quite literally because the energy configuration has changed in the specified soul diagram, like the one for gold above. All we are, and will be, can be expressed as a form of interchange with energy organisation at this level. The SPDF invocation is this, most potently amplified, for blank willed effect on an open to be influenced universal form; utilising an undirected dispositional force. Dispositional, but not drivern or organised. And this is the key. With no intentional stance, resonant will can be brought to bear in order to drive the disposition into active momentum towards the ends of the willing.
Concluding Remarks
Of course; the correct dispositional force need be selected; appropriately contacted; clearly resonated; driven to inspiration; and finally compelled into force of action. This can be dangerous for the adept skilled in only aspects of the requisite practice: particularly if one excels in one or two of the required abilities innately. This is as connection will synch, without proper controls. The agent, not the target set, will be seen and the agency will fall towards the practitioners world rather than be directed.
Or more correctly, it will be drawn as a form of undirected direction. Use synch resonance from the day of preparation, with the guide number hash sum, and your own personal birth number to inform the summoning if you feel you must proceed. But take heed of these warnings. A common criticism of such numerological and astrological techniques for self exploration in guidance is to refute ontic purity by asserting the invention of the calendar as a proof of falsity, or, similarly, the absent stars, whose light still touched our birth, and noncentral location of Earth in the allness of isness. These disputes are of course folly – as their invention and existence are very real parts of our representational shared world construction. None the less, once again, we urge those not adept in the specific skill set to avoid this invocation. There is no entirely safe path to the powers.
Final Recommendations
When oscillating what presents as one’s aethric field for purpose; one may find benefit in feeding the personal focus aether through the solo electron dimensional space on a piggy-back wave. This is to bypass time and place psychological blocks – which will also, in turn, assist in the removal of physiological impedance: increasing goal congruant outcome influence at a distance. Experiment for yourself. That is the only way to be sure.
Further, if conjuring a known entity cluster, or force wave non personified, to draw an expected or common outcome probability slant into the performance space from a familiar greater resonance – call the conjuring name backwards in incantation.
This is for reasons of primal unconscious processing. Language and cortex are late comers to these systems, but they do have projection fibers which may impede and inhibit crucial resonant systems. The reason content neutral cognitive distraction tasks (like, say, counting backwards from one thousand in subtractions of 9, for example) are not indicated, is due to meditative focus concerns. Using the summoning name backwards, or in anagram, will have a greater likelihood of freeing up subcortical conjuring resources without moving away from goal congruence for association system cascade, but will still be resource intensive enough to minimise doubt or reasoning interference.
There is also benefit in naming the unnamed for this purpose if, and only if, a naming does not act as an impedance in conjuring in its own right. Remember to always be cautious not to reach into resonance fields if there is a risk of you being overwhelmed by a distinguished force imprintation – self honesty of ability is the first and most crucial tool of the Magus. Know your local sphere first and progress outwards by honest intuitive reflection only.
The author holds no responsibility for injury sustained to mind, or persons, of inexperience or selfdishonest practitioners who stumble forward without awareness; rather than grapple forward with self owning knowledge of power, and novel exploration resources that are well honed.
Blessed be! May challenging and interesting, but safe, conjuring find the path of the seeker.
