10_11.............Path #21 -Chesed-Mercy to Netsach-Victory

Here in the "you control your own destiny" section I will have to mention the nature of minor rituals or daily rituals and if you do any studying of these you will see every author

talk about the things that we do every day as part of our daily routine and these routines make up each persons life each day on the planet.

This path resides in the astral domain of a person and within this domain we could definitely use some control as this is one of the favorite places we use to blame something else

for or misfortunes and bad luck but it is also the place where we can best take a hold of those same details.

I am now going to speak of the Lower (Lesser) Banishing ritual that is so very popular around the planet for the banishing of unwanted forces within a person's sphere of

influence.

I will not draw out the ritual but will tell you that the initial attitude of the person committed to the work has to change from the way they are in the everyday life or out at the

mall, running errands or watching television.

First bring yourself to a quite state of mind whilst stand facing east.

The initial thought would be nothing and only existence and then from there the size of the being (you) changes from the size of the body to the size of the room to the size of

the building to the size of the city to the size of the state and so on until the size you are envisioning yourself is far greater than the size of the planet you are presently standing

on and earth is but a speck of sand beneath your feet.

Once you have gained this position you draw a star in front of you at your initial direction (commonly East) and this star (pentagram) is drawn from the lower left corner up, on

the first line and continued through to finish and as it is drawn it is seen as glowing neon blue.

While it is drawn no words of power are spoken and when it is finished the mage thrusts both hands and the dagger into the center while stepping forward with the left foot and

vibrates (speaks) the word of power for that direction (quadrant).

Now as you step back your arm and dagger are extended in front of you and you are facing east and there is a neon blue star in front of you.

Then as you turn to the right you keep the arm and dagger extended and a bright line is seen as the dagger draws to the right ¼ turn until you are now facing south and the same

star is drawn and same thrust through the center with a different name vibrated (for that quadrant) and this is repeated until you eventually stand again facing the east and have

four blue stars around with and a brilliant white circle connecting them.

I give you this image to consider the idea of surrounding yourself with a bright white circle and four stars in an attitude of universal power and greatness and to understand that

from this position you are not the person that you exist as in your everyday life but an astral being of great magnitude and power.

With each name that is vibrated it (the words vibrations) is seen as traveling through the universe to infinitum and calling the energy form for the area, direction or quadrant

directly to you.

The names (called) are the vibrations used to stimulate the energies or you could say wake the angels if this is how you prefer to think and either way works fine as the point is

to banish negativities from your surrounding space.

Now I have skipped over the part concerning the sign of the cross being made at the beginning and the words that are spoken for each of the moves.

Also there are a lot of people that have trouble with making the sign of the cross all I can say to them is get over it. 

It's the same as thinking the pentagram standing for Satan and if you do have a problem with the making of the sign think of where that problem stems from and for most

Catholics it is how they were raised and one of the things they are trying to recover from.

It's just another rip off of the Catholic religion to use what is most effective to keep the masses in their control and this application to the body is far more basic and goes far

beyond the reformations made by some other religion, as this is not actually that at all.

Do not insult yourself by discounting everything about a culture you have decided not to agree with. Use what works and discard what is ineffective.

How does this fall under this section of this chapter concerning mercy to victory?

Well all I can say is that if I tell you what it looks like to stand at the edge of the Grand Canyon the images you have compare nothing to the actual being there standing at the

edge. I know it seems obscure but when you are standing in the position of extreme magnitude and surrounded by powerful and positive energies the experience is much like

that of me trying to explain the awesome magnificence of viewing something as breathtaking as the Grand Canyon.

It is your own reason and understanding that bring you to this place and point, when you get there and your own mercy for yourself will lead you to this position of victory in

the planes of the universe in which we exist.

What surrounds you at the eventual point of the ending of the ritual are immensely powerful and potent creatures, energies, angels that also bring victory with mercy and that is

why this is placed here.

Also in the control of your own direction and strength through first the knowledge then by the use of ability through application and experimentation bringing experience of

control to your fingertips.

What will you do with that control? What do you feel you need? What do you want to know? Who do you want to be? What should you do? 

What do you feel you need to have? Am I saying this is how to control the universe?

Well I am actually saying this is a way to get to know some of the things that can control the universe. 

It is a way to get acquainted with powerful friends that are waiting for your call.

It's the cell phone of the ancients and you really don't get anything out of it until you use it a few times and then it's kind of hard to put down in the beginning.

Then once you get used to it you tend not to use it in some ways because it is dangerous, like texting while driving or reading emails while operating heavy equipment.

There is more information on this subject to complete the details that I will present to finalize any of your curiosities and fill in the gaps, if you're taking notes.

Once again it is the path from mercy to victory that's the issue and how I consider this path needs to be addressed in relation to everymage.

So I seek your mercy as I point to victory and show you mercy as you approach it.

We see through glass tinted darkly.(Bible guy)
