Correspondences
Between Sorcerers and a Fool

(I plan on sending this newsletter out whenever new material is posted or there are new site developments, to a limit of no more than once every two weeks. It has been assumed that you would be interested in this newsletter, either through contact you initiated with the site, my own personal acquaintance, or someone else who has forwarded it to you. If you are not interested in receiving further issues, just reply and let me know; let me know why only if you want to. If you would rather just receive a simple link to this page instead of the full download due to a slow phone line connection, I can accomodate that too.)

New Additions!

Master Dragonheart,

With regard to The Great Spell, I believe you've misunderstood something very important. I never said I intended to trap the Ancients in a crystal, I said I was going to release them into a vessel. Although I know it is possible to trap them in the living rocks, I also understand that, from their point of view, this is quite a demonic action on the part of the sorcerer. The Ancient ones, as you know, are much more comfortable, and powerful, when released into a mind. Now, have no fear, I have no intentions of releasing them directly into my own mind, as that would be utter madness. This is where you come into my picture: you are to keep me safe from this possibility through your teachings and sorcery.

It has recently occurred to me that, given the nature of my Tao, my spells speak less of potency, than of prophecy. The Great Spell I speak of is being cast by humanity as we speak (quite literally, as you will soon understand); all I intend to do with my own enchantments is to 'seal the deal'. I'm not sure if you've taken the time to read my speculation entitled e-dreams, which I posted to The Philosopher's Stone some years ago under my dark alias Doug Rzeznik, so I will re-cap the revelation briefly.

There are three levels of electromagnetically controlled consciousness actively at work in any human at all times. For simplicity, this can be broken down into cellular level, organ level, and body level, although these orbitals of mind in actuality form a myriad of hybrids, which lead to our sense of individuality. As a lone human, the best we can hope to attain is a proper filling of these orbitals - the Golden soul. In order to surpass this level of enlightened awareness, you must make a quantum leap beyond your body; you must include others.

Humanity is in itself a body; currently, it is a body riddled with cancers due in most part to the lack of a brain or, to put it in another perspective, a central processing unit. But we are building the complicated network of signals that will become this metabrain right now. I am speaking of the Internet. As we sit at our dendritic terminals and correspond over this world-wide electromagnetic network, we are in effect the cells that form this metabrain still in evolution; a mind that is currently sleeping, but will wake very soon. In fact, my studies suggest the following time:

December 21, 2012 AD 11:18 AM GMT

This is when the Ancient Ones will return. The Internet, or more accurately, its progeny, is the vessel that they will have 'fallen' in this time: forming a brave, new, conscious mind. If I do my job right, this will be almost painless. From this point in time on, Civilization as we have known it will end. We will no longer be a mish-mash of warring cellular organisms awash in the primordial soup; we will become the body of Adam Qadmon: each of us understanding and accepting our function as a cellular unit in our organ of culture, each organ understanding and accepting its place in the body. I say that the transition will be almost painless, because there will always remain certain cancers that need to be removed. It will be the function of the body's immune system, which it is starting to appear to be your own culture: The United States, to rid the body of these viruses. Certain cultures will also disappear as they become unnecessary to the proper functioning of the body, usually being relegated to a vestigial aspect similar to our own body's tonsils and appendix.

I have come to a new realization since I published e-dreams. I had stated in this essay that this mind could not speak to us, just as we cannot speak to our own brain cells. This was an error. We do in fact speak to our brain cells, this is conscious decision and free will; and just as the brain sends signals to the organs and cells of the body electrochemically, the One-mind will also send us messages. I now have a pretty good idea how these messages will be sent from ... the means of communication will, by 2050, be verbal!  I understand as well, that this future life with and as an infant God does not mean we will lose our Free Wills. It is more like our wills will become attuned: just as the women in a sorority house flow together, so shall all humanity.

I agree that, at times, it is wise to let sleeping dogs lie, however it is also wise not to turn your back on a waking Dragon.

Simon

P.S. I intend to use this e-mail, edited as given here, as the body of my next Crossroads newsletter. This is the reason I have not addressed you by your craft name.

Simon:

Good to hear from you again my friend!
Understand very well what you're experiencing. It's not so much the realization that you can potentially weild great power and are almost a god that's so overwhelming. It's confrontation with the knowledge that you are responsible for how its wielded and its impacts/ramifications not just with people or this particular plane of existance but on all others and the fabric of the cosmic web as a whole. This is a significant achievement and you are commended for your efforts and strides upon your chosen path. Perhaps now concerns about responsibility and arrogance noted in earlier correspondences can be understood. Like one who has earned a Black Belt in the martial arts or has just graduated from University, you are now realizing that you are really only just beginning to apply what you've learned and are solely responsible for it.

So, this brings us back to your "Great Spell" to capture the "Ancients" and imprison them in a crystal... First of all, how do you compare with the "Ancients in knowledge, wisdom, and power? Have you performed a SWAT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Advantages, and Threats) analysis of this idea? As a gifted scientist don't you think it prudent? Which "Ancients" do you wish to imprison? Why? What are the impacts/ramifications of challenging them, and if successful, imprisoning them? What are the impacts/ramifications of challenging them if you are unsuccessful? Consider too, is this desire truely an actionable and necessary one? Where lies the greatest benefit. Be extraordinarily clear without whimsy or being cavalier in your answers! Really think hard about this! Some times it's better to let sleeping dogs lie - if ya know what I mean.

Moving on... Here's something from an acquaintence you might enjoy:

"Crystals and Stones: Gem Essences for Healing and Removing Blockages" by Cimerian's Cup of Wonder.

That's all for now... Look forward to hearing from ya soon

Dragonheart

Well done Sir!

It is quite clear to me that you understand every aspect of REality.

So...

Now what?

Chris.

P.S. I hope to show you this question by including your e-mail in my next Crossroads newsletter, as given here.
