SLIDES POINTS:

What is mysticism?

• Direct empathetic relationship with truth and god, ground of all theology & religion. 'Spiritual Touch'. Union and

• collaboration with God.

• Depth: The most profound and meaningful experience in human life. True purpose & name. From HOW of sperg mind to the

• WHAT of essence.

• Grace, revelatory action and knowing: Christ enters the physical blood, collaborative controll of breath, 'not I who lives, but He who lives and acts in me';.

• God as a permanent fact of experience, that can't be taken away.

• Christ and providence as guide and direct personal loving relationship with reawakened facaulties of the spirit.

• Not the charlatanism of the Metaphysician, intellectual jugglary, or the dead bones of gnostic, or the strumbing in the dark

• of the low sorcerer, or drunkard of mystic only. All 4 together.

• Why mysticism: True Episteme, intrinsic certainty and authority beyond rational inference. No greater meaning, truth and certainty.

Types of Mysticism

• Nature mysticism: Dionysian Intoxication: Boundary between subject & object dissolved. DMT, Participation Mystique.

• Temporal not eternal

• Human Mysticism: Union transcendent self. Sobriety. Severing of Empirical self (temporality) abandoned, experience of

• higher self. Luciferic. 'Transcendent self is god'. No revelation. No god. Checking out: Nirvana

• Divine mysticism: Beatific vision mysticism: synthesis of other two. Way of Love. Not depersonalisation. Guided by Christ

• Interpreting the symbol: Dual meaning, Saneness & the three dangers: rage, meglomania, exaltation

• Standing under canopy(sobriety),Breastplate (person protected) divine will crown (Divine will & god present).

YOGIC & OTHER MYSTICISMS

• THIEVES & ROBBERS: Reaching before the lord.

• The BROAD way, or the ABANDONMENT, not the NARROW WAY. Lifting the low empirical subject as he is, not healing and

• replacing what is low. (transhumanist)

• ANNIHILATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS NOT BEING. Absorbed, consciousness abandoned, Temporality is 'illusion'

• DEPERSONALISATION, no personality, no likeness and image

• 'TRANSCENDENT SELF IS GOD': megalomania & checking out. 'master' 'ubermench' not collaborator. No revelation or

• higher beings. No higher being to keep in check.

• MONISM, DUALISM, VS LOVE (one essence two substances) Loved, lover, the loving.

Christian Union

• "I came so you may have life abundantly".

• Illumination of divine love, warmth of divine love, breath of divine love in full consciousness.

• Two principles one essence. Mystic sense and gnostic sense active. Passive and active. Baptised in Water AND spirit.

• 'no one has ever seen god' (before Christ)

• 'those who came before me are thieves and robbers' esoteric understanding: grade of initiation collaboration.

• Gift of tears (no depersonalisation, initiation AFTER christ) I have come so they have life abundantly

• Walks with God

• Objective meeting with higher beings ( no meglomania)

Hermetic Initiation & Pythagorean initiation

• What is Enstasy? Microcosm: The Hermetic initiation: delving to the depth of the psyche.

• What is Ecstasy? Pythagorean initiation: The rising to the essence of the object, the macrocosm.

• Disciples of the Day

• Disciples of the night

• Synthesis of both: Christian initiation. John's gospel

Ways of Leaving the intellect

• Gradual washing of feet and removal of evil & sin

• Yogic. Annihilation of good and evil (person, Care) Only subjective ecstasy, no synthesis with enstasy. No revelation.

• Christian: REPLACING the intellect or gradual putting in SERVICE and cleansed/resurrected vs ABANDONING it (Zen, Yogic,

• Dervish) or Yogic going to embrionic state (not eliminating being, but consciousness)

• The Christian renders intellect overactive, till faculties dark in God's brilliance, filled with revelation after this.

YHVH & THE HIGH PRIESTESS

• Phenomenology in detail

• Mystic sense, Gnostic sense, Magic sense, Hermetic philosophical sense: what is their experience and how do they relate

• to the divine name?

• What are each if taken on their own?

• The Meaning of the Empress arcana

• Yod letter as diagram of Mystic touch

Thinking words in your head is the house of Thought (Being as a whole)

• Written divine Law is the house of oral law

• the voice that whispers (Vau) is the house of Thought, the voice that doesn't speak (Sophia) (Hay)

• Oral law (2nd Hay) is the house of the voice that whispers
