Paradigmatic Parallels - part 1 - The Silent Word
A Non-Local interpretation of Prophecy
“There is more to the picture than meets the eye." The wisdom that emanates as aesthetics from a great artists painting not only coveys hidden messages of the artist, but it exudes information from an altogether trans-temporal dimension. The writer, like the artist, is somewhat of an oracle, in that; to be creative is to be prophetic. As Safaratti showed, information, unlike matter, is in instant connection and can travel faster than the speed of light. This is known as the Bell space, the all encompassing universal field of pure information.
To become aware of this Bell space is major paradigm shift from the outworn modes of thought, determinism and reductionism, and leads to a heightened state of responsibility. What we do today not only affects the future, but through faster than light transmissions, it ultimately effects the past. Quite often, we see modern archetypes reflected in the archaic works of antiquity, and as if by osmosis, these sacred works of art speak directly to the soul in an unadulterated timeless quality. These great works of art and literature hold esoteric keys to be unlocked by the earnest seeker and the true initiate. Unfortunately, they are usually glossed over by the profane and banal. These mythic stories are reflections of our own psychosm and can be likened to a magick mirror or looking glass. At first the reflection is like a fun house mirror, distorting and obfuscating the true message. However, as the seeker steadies and matures in his spiritual growth, the mythic reflections becomes clear, like a tranquil pond, and reveals the divine image of the self.
The modern UFO experience is an ancient phenomenon that is ubiquitous throughout literature and art. The egg-headed alien, or Grey, was seen as early as 1919 by Aleister Crowley with his communications with Lam. Lam represents one of the emissaries of the Outer Ones and is depicted as a small figure with slit like eyes and protruding egg shaped cranium. This depiction is strikingly similar to modern extraterrestrial accounts. Unlike today and our multi-media blitz, Crowley was not inundated with images of Greys or ET’s to draw from. This makes his portrait of Lam that much more original and intuitive. In Kenneth Grant’s Typhonian Trilogies, Lam is associated with the pre-human, but anthropomorphic, image of Bez. Bez is sacred to the Sudanese region of Africa, which was populated by the Dogon Tribe. It was this tribe that Robert Temple described so eloquently in his Sirius mystery. The Dogons were aware of Sirius A, B, and C, thousands of years before modern science discovered the telescope. In addition to this astronomical feat, they were aware of the 4 moons of Jupiter. Bez, also called Aiwass, is associated with the baby god Harporcraat and the bringer of the silent message from the depths, the ring pass not.
Crowley was not the only one to hear the silent word, this word has echoed throughout the corridors of history. In Lewis Carroll’s, “Through the looking Glass”, Alice encounters the egg headed alien, Lam, in the form of Humpty Dumpty and is described thus, “Humpty was sitting, with his legs crossed like a Turk, on the top of a high wall-such a narrow one that Alice quite wondered, how he could keep his balance-and, as his eyes were steadily fixed in the opposite direction…” Obviously, this is a reference to the yogic trance of Samadhi and shows an East Indian origin. Likewise, the high wall, or ring pass not, can be associated with the Hindu Mahaprayla, or great cycle of ages. Furthermore, the keeping of balance is sacred to all mystical paths which seek approach to the ineffable dynamic stillness of true illumination. The fixed upward gaze is the mesmeric stare, or inward gaze,
necessary for communicating with to the denizens of our unconscious psyche. As Carl Jung showed, the UFO is a mandala of the emergent self, and represents the exteriorization of the soul. The lurking darkness of the great Old Ones represents the global collective inherited shadow, that which was known as BEZ, the messengers from beyond.
According to the cipher code, NEAQ cipher 6, prophesized in Aleister Crowley’s Liber al vel Legis, The first sentence of the old nursery rhyme, “Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall” is equivalent to the phrase – “The Year two thousand and twelve.” Both of these phrases each total 328 in the NEAQ code. It must be rembered that the Mayan 13 Baktun long count calendar ends on December 21, 2012. This is the same date as the moment of maximum novelty on Terence McKenna’s Timewave zero, an algorithmic wave mapping the ingression of novelty and complexity in our universe. This time wave was distilled from the ancient Ken Wa sequence of the I-Ching and was relayed to McKenna during an incredibly long and intense psychedelic experience in South America. As we move toward this 2012 date, the ingression on novelty and the innovation we witness will approach exponential growth.
It is also of interest to note, the Mayan 13 Baktun and the Hindu Kali Yuga, the great age of darkness, started only 11 years apart, 3113 BC and 3102 BC respectively. This coincides with a major development and a bifurcation in the way humans thought; this is the identical period when the Sumerians divided the day into 24 hours, based on the division of the circle, thus throwing civilization into an artificial mental time warp. It has been speculated by authors like Jose Arguelles that the Mayan 13 Baktun Calendar is the measure of artificial time, what he calls the wave harmonic of history with its 12:60 frequency. This is time based off of a 12 month calendar of unequal months and the 60 minute hour. He contends that mankind finds itself in its current technological/cultural dilemma because we have been existing under the dreamspell of the 12:60 frequency, with idolotrous allegiance to the gregorian calendar and mechanical clock.
The second line, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall” totals 324 , which is equivalent to the phrase – “Lysergic Acid DiethyLAMide”. This is the elixir par excellence, and the modus operandi of communion with the outer ones, of which LAM and Humpty Dumpty, are but the messengers or emissaries.
Humpty can also be considered as the egg of spirit, or totality, which consequently descended into matter to become the many. This is expressed in the Thelemite equation 0=2. Two, being the dyad, is represented by the dichotomy of daily experience, while the zero represents the synthesis of object and subject, or the perceiver and the perceived. This is the act of yoga or union. In the 0=2 equation, on one half we have the egg of spirit or Humpty Dumpty, while on the other we have duality into which he falls, the kingdom. This is the base state, or ordinary experience, in which mankind currently finds itself. Unless man tears down the walls of socialization and enculturation and journeys to the ring pass not, the threshold of the unconscious mind, then he will forever remain on the checkered stage of duality. This is our existential enigma, to be pawns and slaves to the forces of entropy and division, or to transcend the division, by penetrating the Bell space and realizing the deeper holographic connection of all information. The story of the fall, or descent into matter, is reflected in other nursery tales like jack and Jill.
