Brain wasn't working right. <BR/><BR/>I'd get permission from Stavish before publishing his stuff. You can try reaching him at info@hermeticinstitute.org, his contact email at the Hermetic Institute.

Personally, I'd link to it and write up your own experiences with the subject.

Most of it was quotations from different sources anyway.<BR/><BR/>There is, again, a recent post on this, with the somewhat more traditional view that what is built is, rather, a permanent Rainbow Bridge over the Abyss for 'your' next incarnations to use, at Magic of the Ordinary: http://magicoftheordinary.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/debaptism-initiation-and-the-golden-dawn/Qabalierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468095077576303673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-73920966840519047492009-03-28T13:27:00.000-04:002009-03-28T13:27:00.000-04:00Qabalier:Awesome!

Confirmation that if I'm not on the right track, at least others have been down a similar wrong track before!<BR/><BR/>Gordon:<BR/><BR/>"Negative" means something specific to each sphere , and it's listed in the Divine Pymander; I'll blog about that later.<BR/><BR/>Jason:<BR/><BR/>I've been reading up on Agathos Daimon, and it's also a deity, not like the HGA who is assigned to individual people, but an actual manifestation of God that was worshiped in the PGM. Like IAO and Atum, he was the One True God, but of the Day and the Night. Sort of.<BR/><BR/>That quote in the PGM I mentioned in the post said that the Spiritual Assistant did the work of embalming the body as of a God, or whatever, so I think it actually does do something, but like you said, it's after death, post mortem. Not the same as the Rainbow Body, but I think I'm at least getting warmer.<BR/><BR/>Mike:<BR/><BR/>Awesome read! Have you done the rite? I've got a side project now with those four names. I'll have to substitute some Kedem grape juice for the wine, or maybe offer the wine as an oblation and drink grape juice instead. Or something.

In that case when you ascend past the abyss you merge with the HGA. The trick of doing that permanently is the real task.Jason Miller,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03034226672257024583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-9651405186511092362009-03-28T09:11:00.000-04:002009-03-28T09:11:00.000-04:00>>So, in conclusion, I think (the spirt that...>>So, in conclusion, I think (the spirt that we modern magicians call) the HGA might be able to either physically transform you into the Rainbow Body, or at the very least provide the instruction, initiations, and empowerments required to be able to transform into the Rainbow Body at the time of death. Like Yoda and Ben Kenobi did in the Star Wars trilogy. And you know you want that.<BR/><BR/>The HGA can. It's just getting the rest of you to go along with it. In this case 'negative' probably refers to things that you are doing that are keeping you from being able to do the physical conversion. I'd suggest summoning up each of your chakras, as if they were a separate entity/egregore type thing and talk to them.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662349728666711733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25882546.post-40147875994678120532009-03-28T08:17:00.000-04:002009-03-28T08:17:00.000-04:00There was a post in Mark Stavish's blog (now close...There was a post in Mark Stavish's blog (now closed) for the Institute for Hermetic Studies dealing with that. It then dawned on me that the Philosopher's Stone could be the Diamond Body of taoist alchemy, a 'hermetically sealed', solidified auric egg and subtle body.<BR/><BR/>There is another article on that ,also quoting Jocelyn Godwin, here:<BR/>http://www.alchemylab.com/insights.htm#Arcanum%20Seven<BR/><BR/>"There is nothing left of most people’s souls once they have been filtered through the planetary spheres. The vast majority will be extinguished as personalities soon after death, then perhaps recycled as different people. The adept’s ambition is to survive this general Dissolution, and if he should incarnate again, to do so only through deliberate choice, not through bondage like everyone else. In order to pass beyond the boundaries of the cosmos, symbolized by the starry sphere, and enter consciously into another mode of existence, the adept must have forged, during life, a ‘radiant body’ as a vehicle for this individuality. Knowing of this hyper-esoteric stream makes it easier to understand alchemy. The forging of the radiant body goes in parallel with the chemical events, and its completion is marked by the appearance of the Philosopher’s Stone."Qabalierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468095077576303673noreply@blogger.com
