The Law of Thelema-Hidden Alchemy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781739154936)

At the end of an entire Manvantara or 'world', mankind stands upon the threshold of total dissolution. Even those with a spiritual orientation, or what passes for that now, have not resisted the temptation of seeking a return to Eden through the adaptation of traditional sciences without comprehension, owing to the rejection of all real metaphysical knowledge. This folly has resulted in the awakening of dangerous atavisms, of the Qliphotic order, that are impossible to control by profane persons lacking highly specialised knowledge. The aim of this present work, our final word on Thelema, is to establish what is called the Law of Thelema in the context of the Hermetic and alchemical tradition from whence it has its origins. Hermeticism may be accurately construed as 'that which came out of Egypt', after the decline of its language and civilisation. The legend of the Christ or Saviour who passes through trial and ordeal to be born in spirit was well founded at the Egyptian cult centre Aunnu, known by the Greeks as Heliopolis and called On in the biblical Old Testament. Here was celebrated the birth, death and resurrection of the hawk-headed star-god, Horus. In the (Egyptian) Book of the Law, Liber AL vel Legis as it has come to be known, this god takes various forms. Among these are the Sphinx, the Dwarf Soul, and the Angel of Judgement. The Khabs, the Khu and the Ka are ancient Egyptian pictographic symbols, and the many gods mentioned in the book are specific to the transformative r?les played by Deity at cult centres of Egypt such as Thebes and Heliopolis. It must be clearly understood that the present work owes nothing at all to the thinking of Aleister Crowley or of his followers. Our purpose is to reveal the secrets of alchemy and the transfiguration of the soul that are encrypted in the text of Liber AL. It is possible then to find a way out of the snares of modern and postmodern occultism, so freeing our minds from the mantras that orchestrate the 'dance of the lemmings' into the Abyss.
