Is there a subtle connection between war ending and Thelemic Anniversary?

93
Everyone:
What do you think about the jubilation in the streets in Iraq? Seems the war might be over.
What about it falling on the 99th year anniversary of the writing of the Book of the Law, particularly April 9th, when Crowley channeled part 2, on Hadit, focus. Tommorrow is April 10th, which will be part 3, Ra Hoor Khuit, and that chapter talks are war and vengeance!
By the way, in the Mayan calender today is White Resonant World-Bridger, Kin 46, and tommorrow is Blue Galactic Hand, Kin 47.
"There is division hither homeward; there is a word not known. Spelling is defunct; all is not aught. Beware! Hold! Raise the spell of Ra-Hoor-Khuit! Now let it be first understood that I am a god of War and of Vengeance. I shall deal hardly with them. Choose ye an island! Fortify it! Dung it about with enginery of war! I will give you a war-engine. With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you. Lurk! Withdraw! Upon them! this is the Law of the Battle of Conquest: thus shall my worship be about my secret house." Liber AL, chapter 3

Thelema 418
[feel free to jump in and expand my point of view. I don't mind if people respectfully disagree, though I think we could expand this discussion, maybe others might add other layers of what 418 means]

93!
Bill:
Thanks for writing from Naropa, showing interest in Thelema.

Ah, you start out with the easy questions. LOL.
418 is the numerology for the House of God. This is the 16th Trump in the Tarot card, the Tower, which relates to the letter P. One could expand on the symbols of Psychopomp, Psychic, etc.

The Tower, to me, represents Chaos, and here we get into Chaos Theory in Quantum Theory and Chaos Magick.

Existentially speaking, we live in a world without meaning, chaotic, if you will. A person's meaning is found by what they intend, what they will. This is the key to magick. The number one in the number 418, can represent the Magus, the Magician in the 1st Trump. The Magician must learn to work their will, and magick is both a blessing and a curse. A disciplined Magician then becomes a Magus, and I believe the most important realization a Magus can make is that the Great Work requires much INTELLIGENCE. The magician must learn to be open to transformation themself, if they are going to transform reality. Brain change is a big part of magick.

18 is also the number of the Moon, the 18th trump in the Tarot, and there is a whole series of discussion we could have on Illusion, Glamour, and Time.

4 can symbolize the Emperor, the True Self.

4 + 1 + 8 = 13, and 13 is the Death card in the Tarot.

In fact we could see something about the Great Work in these five cards:
12 The Hanged Man
13 Death
14 Art
15 Devil
16 Tower

This is more of a shamanistic look.

Does any of this have meaning for you?

Anther aspect of God I thought of tonight, in a comment someone made about God exhalting the moral qualities that society should possess; wouldn't that make God a dictator?

I mean people make choices according to free will. Take that away and we just have a Soul Group that is no more than an insect hive. Free will and true will is important, that God/Goddess bestow on creation, so that we can freely choose to come together in a Group Mind, and with that diversity create a true House of God.

Another aspect of Chaos theory is Beauty Theory; that in all the randomness there is beauty and order of some kind.

Going back to the number 18, 1 + 8 = 9.
This is the Hermit, the seeker of the Philosopher's stone.
In the Book of the Law it says Thelema has only 3 grades, the Hermit, the Lover, the man of Earth.

I could go on and on. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I will post this on the forum at Thelema Meetup, in case other might be interested.

On a side note, a friend of mine, Foton Fonon, Mark created something called Dream::Star, which is related to Mayan Dreamspell, though it includes five green glyphs and 17 tones (instead of 13 tones as in Dreamspell). Dreamspell has 260 kin, Dream::Star has 425. Thus, there is a Kin 418, and it is Yellow Planetary Warrior (definitely speaks of things in chapter 3, of the Book of the Law, as does Krishna's discussion with Arjuna):
"I perfect in order to question
Producing fearlessness
I seal the input of intelligence
with the planetary tone of manifestation
I am guided by the power of flowering."

This is found in the Green Joy Star Wavespell. Joy and Ecstasy are a key to Thelema, since TBOTL states that this is the nature of existence, where the old Buddhaic idea was that Sorrow was the nature of existence. A definitely switch.
(as you might grok, this shows the power of synchronicity, in a chaotic universe, that patterns can be revealed from diverse sources; I believe this is the WHOLENESS that Thelema represents on an atomic level)

Thanks for getting back to me. The question I had was about 418, the Great Work, how or what do you think it is or represents? I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
thanks again for your time,
Bill

"I had a strong impression that the speaker was actually in the corner where he seemed to be, in a body of fine matter, transparent as a veil of gauze, or a cloud of incense-smoke. He seemed to be a tall, dark man in his thirties, well-knit, active and strong, with the face of a savage king, and eyes veiled lest their gaze should destroy what they saw. The dress was not Arab; it suggested Assyria or Persia, but very vaguely. I took little note of it, for to me at that time Aiwass was an angel such as I had often seen in visions, a being purely astral. "

The Definition of Magick
Book 7
By Ron Adams, Sunwolf
(c)2005

Definition of Magick
(In 93 words, less or more)
By Sunwolf

“Magik is the ability to shift consciousness simultaneously between Waking Life and Dreaming Life, thereby bringing forth Conscious Associations in the natures of synchronicities, breakthroughs, aha'’ and personal empowerment." ~ Ron Adams April 1, 2005

“You create your own reality.”~Shirley Maclaine, New Age mantra

Magik is real. It is an evolutionary trigger human consciousness possesses innately. Magick can cause things to happen, can create spontaneous healings, can help us think outside the box of art and science long enough to see new solutions to old problems.

Magik is a shift in the paradigm.

In Timothy Leary’s 8 circuit brain theory, Magik can express itself in any of the human modalities: Physical, Emotional, Intellectual, Social, Instinctual, Psychically, Mythically, and Spiritually.

“Magick is the Art and Science of Brain Change.”~Austin Osman Spear

You change your outlook, shift your perception of reality, and you see the world in an altered perception, like seeing it for the first time.

“Tune in, turn on and drop out.”~ Timothy Leary

Habits and reactions are the unconscious use of will.
Here is the Paradox of Life:
Everything is Maya, Illusion.

Conscious use of Will is the responsibility and aspiration of the seeker of Universal Truths.

This is why Love under Will is so powerful.

Usually what we love forces us to be conscious of our willed actions.

We step out of the cosmic trance dance long enough to become aware of our intent, our True Will. Creating our True Nature.

If you fully grok this, you can stop reading now!

But if you are like most of us, you haven’t fully attained.

“Enlightenment is to Waking Life as Lucidity is to Conscious Dreaming.”~Sunwolf

Most on the path seek to understand their habits, reactions, unconscious drama. What is the motivation behind our actions?

“Magick is the Art & Science of change in conformity with Will.”~Aleister Crowley

Magick can also include unexplained mysteries and miracles of life.

This is a gift of humanity struggles with accepting. Only a few see its potentials. But it takes only a few to keep humanity from destroying itself.

The nature of Book 7 is to awaken the ability of magik with us, you and I, so we have proof, so we can never deny it again.

Magik can be used by the free will of people, so it can be used for White Magik or Black Magik.

The purpose of Book 7 is to awaken enough of us that we tip the scales, create the 100th Monkey, to assist in our evolution of Homo Veritas, Double Conscious beings of the Dual Current of Magick and Mysticism. Our next stage of evolution.

Obviously we shall discuss sex magick (its what makes the world go round, and you are doing it even if you aren’t conscious of it).

We will talk about spells, rites, rituals and ordeals.

We will speak of the issue of control and if human sacrifice is still needed to wake us up to the sanctity and preciousness of life.

And we might even speak of White Magick, Grey Magick, and Black Magick.

Ultimately we will have to speak on the most controversial concept of all, the Philosopher’s Stone, the Alchemical Marriage of the Sacred Masculine to the Sacred Feminine, the Mysteries of the Rosy Cross.

So make yourself a better cup of coffee. But on your Wizard’s Cap, fasten your seat belts and hang on for the ultimate ride in the carnival of life.

This Book 7 is dedicated to the Kings and Queens within each of us. May we write sweet words, falling as nectar from the lips of the Queen of Heaven. May it bless all that have ears to listen, and curse and blind those who would seek to abuse such runes.

Magick and Dreamspell
How many Dreamspellers out there are into the Goddess/Magick/Thelema/Shamanism (to name a few, Gosh I hate labels)

Just for playing around, it'd be fun to network.
