The Chapter of Dead Exiles
This concerns the complete teachings of the Golden Dawn. The GD was founded back in the 1900's when an manuscript was found at a library or university, I forget which. But basically the paper had scribbled on it the associations between the Hebrew alphabet and the major cards of the Tarot. This was the basis of a revolutionary way of thinking that opened up mystical Judaism (also know as Cabala) and linked it to the workings of the Occult.
The fact remains that the work presented in many of the books is incomplete, as then was the original paper the founders of the GD discovered. To this day the actual correct associations between Hebrew and the Tarot are known only to a elite few.
That is the mystery, now the website...
The Chapter of Dead Exiles
This site concerns the incorrect associations of the GD. By studying this site, you will see not only the concept or philosophy of unity that the Tree of Life maintains via its essence but also the mistakes made by the founders. Mistakes, intentional mistakes, to hide the truth.
The idea is - that once the Tarot is correctly aligned with the Hebrew alphabet - the Occult can be fully realized. For example, working with the correct spirit or angel for a task to delving into a Tarot reading and gaining wisdom from the cards of divination for revelations are all barred by the founders intentional misleading.
Frustrating that personally, I know the truth is attainable, but so far it has alluded me because of time restrains. My work of present day consists of software development rather than Cabala.
How ever, the subject is fascinating in that there is an alignment of the Occult that forms an whole. This alignment transmutes into alchemy too. The sciences; as part of the Occult is working with bases. This is an area I would like to study in depth at one point in the future to add data to the site.
At its base, is unity of the Universe. State of mind is that unity - I think it was kesh that mentions in another thread something concerning this subject. Well, to elaborate - when a individual evolves they find them self the center of the Universe - rather than having ego as their center - they are consumed by the vast abyss that separates God from the unknown. Time, though a concept, seems infinite and as such, does not exist just as God, being infinite, neither exists. This may confuse you - but if you think about it, to stand with God is impossible in this world regardless of enlightenment as simple as earth is to air.
True enlightenment means you become one with God, part of God, rather than exist next to Him. His knowledge is unknowable, but His state of being, infinite, is attainable. This state of mind is completely different to any whom not enlightened. Their values change, they, as a person, change. Rather unlike Sophia, and spend all day trolling a forum spouting half arsed conceptions, they live in that state of mind. A private existence. Knowledge, conception, even revelation does not enter into it. Wisdom means nothing to these people. It is the pure essence of being that attracts them - to actually practice and become - to be or not to be, that is the question.
To live as one being in one world and see one truth - this is what of which Nietzsche spoke. One line, a straight line, of mind is to adhere to the unison of the whole. Everything - this world, the next world which comes after death, everything is here in this state of mind. Infinite.
