seems like some people weren't really able to follow along very well with the previous version so here's an animated gif. This is the Counter-Clockwise Sweep Only - Numbers Method. This was a pretty big reconstruction so I hope it works. If so, I will probably use the form to complete the rest and add a few other variations in for variety's sake...

oh good...glad to hear you both like it. It's still a little ragged. I was up late last nite working on it and couldn't wait to display it...I've got one set up for Abrahadabra and one for Ningishzidda and also one based on a phrase (as opposing a word)... It takes awhile to put these together. 72 frames so far in this one and it isn't quite finished yet... What I really want is a flash version but I'll have to make do with this for now...

Your goal is to reveal the pure essence of the TwinStar yantra/mantra...

Concision is certainly the best way to communicate that...

really quick mention here, of an old game (1-2 years old?)

Amazon.com: Journey to Wild Divine Biofeedback Computer Game with Free Tutorial DVD: Health & Personal Care

This game has actually really lame graphics but the concept is new and solid

like all prototype/new wave games it's always going to be a little lame

(except for DooM, that bitch was rock solid in the first version of the first and best FPS ever)

some ideas - im not even going to mention collab, because I have some serious meditation to do atm (using the new animated ts gfx) and hope to discuss it at a later date...

It's got the trance thingy going on with it pretty good I think...

well that's good then...if this format works for people I've got a whole lot more shit to unload...just wait till you see some of the trigrammal fields doing their thing... That ought to bake a few brains at least...

so...this is a new art form we've got brewing here, right? kind of keep a bit of a lid on things folks...use it...don't abuse it...or its creators please...

That wasn't a reflection on your work, it was a reflection on an overpriced shitty game they're pimping through Deepak Chopra, who is my arch nemesis in some alternate universe I'm sure.

I'm plotting and scheming here. Work with me, not against me. - Half-Life 2 engine, for example - very adaptable. Whatever - a decade from now...aim for the stars man. It's not that hard to make a video game - really. I mean am I on board or am I being keel hauled?

I have Flash and a couple of books on the subject, I havn't cracked either open - wouldn't be that hard to pick up if you need assistance.

I can stumble through the basics just fine and have already created flash banners and so on. Doing what you really want to do is another matter...

I'll pick it up here someplace...for right now the gifs aren't too bad and these are all prop guides anyway. Ultimately they have to be converted into a much more holistic sort of athleticism. Sort of like trying to teach martial arts moves via animated illustrations really. You can communicate everything but the reality. That's something people have to arrive at for themselves through actual application of the examples...over and over again until you finally hit *the zone*...

Not until you really find the zone does any real learning occur in my experience...all the rest is just getting yourself positioned correctly so that you might actually be able to learn something.

Neither this meditation practice, nor any, will be right for all people at all times. This is paradoxical since the best of practices do in fact appertain to all people, but only a handful will be ready to take it on at any particular place and time. So those of us who draw out this knowledge and then turn around and send it forth do so understanding that it will be almost entirely wasted on the many, even though it amounts to a supreme relevance to them all. It is never really for them all...it is for those who are ready and able to take advantage of the window of opportunity presented and that is all. These things are communicated across great waves of time and in all that time a tremendous harvest will in fact occur. But not here...and not there...nor anywhere exactly will this seem to be especially manifested.

The aim of the Eight Limbs of Yoga is to make Meditation possible...but what meditation?

This is the unanswered question that must finally be addressed. Until people are really ready to tackle their own limitations and seize hold of their own heir-apparent destinies no knowledge on earth can afford them any meaningful sanctuary. This rarely occurs in fact, though sometimes unforeseen events themselves may expedite things.

So on it goes...

Thanks I think with these explicit and didactic versions you could probably access another audience; those who were probably scared off by the "wordy" text that also had many references to other traditions, its maybe unfulfilling- cause reducing- for some who have seen the creative possibilities of the "text"/long version and already started to take it apart structurally, yet maybe its good for those who just want to start somewhere and see what results they'll get. Actually thats the best way to start cause eventually it motivates one to ask why certain components are like this, what they mean and how they fit in, where they came from.

that's correct. I realize in analyzing my own path that I have always been a natural scryer, so for me it has been a very obvious thing in approaching super-duper magickal formulas to crank the suckers up and see what kind of shit they are really made of...

It's a fun, physical and smart way to do things...but what if you have no idea at all what the fuck this is all about?

Sometimes the work of the artist is more about creating an enthusiasm for a general form than a specific application per se. If you happen to have some really good examples of that form in action...so much the better...

The whole idea with the Alchemical Mirrors to begin with was to try to generate that enthusiasm, but the mirrors are still static...they don't really convey motion itself very well. This is a new approach to this issue and by the time I get these moving in a top-flight flash formatting...you'll be able to sit back and watch your damn intelligence increase exponentially...

little by little, people might actually want to become more physically involved in that process...

philosophy all by itself sucks shit. We know this K...we are pretty good at this crap are we not?

For whatever reason, gif animations do not keep to their proper timing when displayed in these forums. It's not a browser issue since I have checked this against several different browsers and they all work fine. from here on out I will be using flash files to display these meditations and have set up a new swf attachment option to be used as thumbnails. In order for this to work, people will need to acquire a standalone flash player (there are several very good ones available for free) to be installed on their own computers. Alternately, you can always go to the front end of the site and view these via the Table of Contents, under the Animations section as I develop them. I will try to remember to provide links as I build and post these little ditties...

I finally understand the entire process of this Core Meditation...

I'd only been reading and guessing about it for 9 months, then in a 'flash'...

I just went back and cross-referenced the new animations with the 'original article'
( http://www.abrahadabra.com/coremeditation.numbers.htm ) and I now get it...

Okay m1, please hammer out the clockwisehalf, then I can
sit and spin the whole thing, til I can run it in my sleep...

In my brief experience, even doing it 'wrong' yielded some pretty potent power...

For the past six months I've been in the showroom kicking the tires, but now I've
climbed in to admire the control panel and to enjoy that 'new chariot smell'...

m1thr0s
07-04-2007, 12:25 AM
yeah..that's up next MM...after a few system modifications to the board to hammer out (introducing flash attachments has its issues etc)...

it's a learning curve for everybody on this stuff. In my case, I am constantly perplexed at how I could be clearly defining a physics, only to have many people generally receive it as a personal form of magick etc... all these things speak to the need to improve communications or the whole point ot the excercise could be missed...

progress is happening though on all sides from what I can tell so that's all good...

taking this into sleep has been fairly successful for me where few other things have been, btw. I seem to have a lot of very strong filters on my sleep space so it takes something unusually dynamic to affect anything at all. People with a little less demanding veils would probably get very good results this way.

we each have to find the form that suits our natures the best. there is no certain test. what is good for the buddha might be crap for the zoroastor etc...yet the physics remains the same.

One of the reasons for learning the TwinStar first is that it mediates Daath in some extremely profound ways. I can't even explain all of this...I can only really point to it. Look at what is actually happening in the TwinStar...Daath (the dash) is being run to Crown! We aren't just running it to Crown on a whim. We actually have to do this to close the gap on the Triangle itself. And what is a "gap" if not a gulch, a chasm, a divide, an Abyss etc...

Now it happens that Daath as it resides on the Tree is still there...nothing has been "cast down or lifted up" per se...only obstacles (ie, resistances) are being systematically whittled down...so in this case we are also free to assert..."everything is ever as it was..." yet the difference that this makes is indescribable.

In any case...the significance of all of this leaves me perpetually speechless, yet it happens with every single sweep of the TwinStar itself...the extreme maintenance that this thing is affording Daath has never been seen before on the face of this earth that I know of. The ramifications of this alone are staggering...

just another little something to chew on...
watch your lines people...study the crap out of them...the harder you observe this thing the better it gets.

technical note: Crowley spends a certain amount of time on the principle of *GN* as a technical approach to *N*. Crowley and I part ways on many things but on many others we are in perfect accord. He was a godamm genius at words whether you like the man himself or not and he was quite right about the energy dynamics of *GN*. What this gives us in pronunciation is a *rumbling N* that wells up from the spine itelf in simple pronunciation. It affords us a very powerful close on the circle that does not wimp out at the last possible moment as we sometimes see other formulas do. rather it picks up an extra head of steam right where it's needed the most...at our final approach to Apex. I have included it as a pronunciation guidelines, rather than an actual formula standard as Crowley has done. For our purposes here we do want 4 letters clean on the Circle itself...not 4.5...not 5...not 5.5...not 6 etc.... This will become increasingly important as we begin to move into trigrammal fields formulas.

So watch you words as well...nothing that stands the test of time on this thing is without its special qualities...

self-correcting. there is some sort of principle about that...I've read about it but can't recall now exactly. but truth itself is a self-correcting sort of package and we are free to make all kinds of mistakes in the attempt to better hone that perfect synchronism...the trick is never stopping...at least not for too very long. In truth, *stopping* is one of our most prevalent mistakes. We want to feel as though we've got a wrap on things before we really do. Little by little, the truth will always *out*...

Tantric Weaving, or Magickal Scrying (which is really the same thing in a slightly different context) is actually a form of Dance. Alternately, it is also a Martial Art form of its own kind, since it is dealing in self-defensive art & science at the very highest levels of Mind itself.

So the musical connection is very strong indeed...rhythm and harmony are always real and present factors. When a thing *falls off*, you can know it fell off in the same kinds of ways...on a visceral, physical level. When a thing *syncs*, same deal... If you're only running this stuff around in your head...you're just not getting even the first part of what is really going on.

The animations are choppy by comparison. People will need to sort that out. The actions themselves should all be smooth and strong and rhythmical. I have taken care to attend to 4/4 timing as well as I could in the illustrations but instead of 69 frames (part one only) I would probably need something like 690 frames to correctly simulate the actual flow you should be striving for. Practise sorts the whole thing out...paying attention to what is working etc...

Abrahadabra itself after that...maybe Ng...want to look at some variations so the whole principle sinks in good...couple 11-letter/word phrases maybe...

Ok...here's the Clockwise Rotation. As expected, it's the same as the Counter-Clockwise but in reverse. The TwinStar works exactly like an Infinity Loop, starting at center and sweeping left to right on the counter-clockwise rotation, then right to left on the clockwise rotation, always starting from and returning back to center. Once you get used to that method of operations, pretty much everything else in the Mutational Alchemy methodology will become second nature...trigrammal fields all work exactly the same way with the exception that here we are building balanced opposite hexagrams in place of the symbiotic pentagrams of the TwinStar...

Here's the Final Close. This particular method of closing the Triangle & Circle is best reserved for the Final, running straight drops and back-floats through the hemispheres. In the Final Close we pay a little more attention to the Ascending-Descending Triangles. I have also included what I refer to as the *whip* action that comes at the very end. I have been more or less treating this as a matter of style but have had a lot of opportunity to scrutinize it better with the idea of instruction in mind while creating these illustrations. I realize now that it's not really a stylization so much as it is an actual principle of inertia that is being employed here. The *whip* slams the whole inertia of the rotations into a single point at center and gives us the tantric equivalent of a supernova super-fusion approaching Omega. Once you get used to it you'll appreciated the surge of energy it seems to always release... kind of like saving our biggest fireworks display for the end I guess... From the illustration it's a little hard to tell how dynamic it really is. The whole idea is to sink all of your energy into that final whip, following the final Hé drop, returning to Tau. This action should give you a pretty good sense what the term "Lord of the Horizon" is all about...

I also have *complete* version (all in pieces) but since it amounts to about 182 frames that all have to be recatalogued and combined and tested, it may be a few days before I get it posted...

You may have to endure a few edits for the next few days...particularly regarding timing. It's just plain damn hard to get the timing just right on these things given the number of frames I am woking with. On the Final Close for instance...the whole drop from A to T to H (including backloop & whip) should be perfectly seamless...but not so fast as to be ridiculous...

It'll all settle in here pretty quick...

a few tweaks left yet...minor stuff in some ways...major to picky-types like me...

timing is hard to perfect in this thing and I'm not all that experienced at animations yet... The Final Close is just a tad awkward still but all the lines of force are correct and their orders etc...

I hope people find this stuff as useful as it should be...

On the Final, you should be able to count your descend *tau - 2 - 3 - 4 - hé - 2 - 3 - 4* with the whip coming right at the end to fit two actions into one beat...

Initially it may seem a little exorbitant but it's actually a very dynamic little innovation that steps up the inertia on the whole sequence all by itself...

anyway...this should clarify the essential exercise...it's important to remember that the form is not the thing itself. What we want from the form is a standard that cannot be significantly improved upon in any remarkable way. Having achieved this we can more confidently explore the tool for everything it has to offer us...in this case more than a great many volumes of books could legitimately describe. Yet some may see the form and think...oh well...so much for this shit then...thought it would be a little more impressive than that! Poor fools...one can do nothing for the likes of these.

While it is important to be on the lookout for anything technically amiss insofar as the form itself is concerned, any instrument...any tool...is only as good as its user is good at using it effectively. The most perfect violin ever crafted will be useless in the hands of an incompetent violinist...

Its packing unbelievably much inside this relatively simple shape, also good job on the animation! I'm still fascinated with the whole method of mutational alchemy itself...whether this ritual can be improved on or not I cant judge yet but compared to so many other classical rituals of magick it is quite advanced, yet not difficult! The warning against sticking to the form alone is actually required not only in the light of practice but also when you consider that western traditions have for a long time emphasized static forms (platons eternal ideas vs heraclit, unchanging species created by god vs evolution etc), and that still many magicians are heavily influenced by that kind of thinking, too. dance and music is a good point also: I would rather imagine it as more tai qi like motions though (cf. also dance of Yu/cosmic renewal etc.)

I would rather imagine it as more tai qi like motions though (cf. also dance of Yu/cosmic renewal etc.)sure...dance of shiva et al...all that sort of thing. I haven't actually made an in-depth sudy of it but I know that the dancing form is very prevalent among Eastern godforms in particular...as opposing Western forms that always seem to be posing for a prom photo shoot or something. Can't help wondering if the adage "white boys can't dance" may not actually have spilled over into their whole notion of godhead. :mlaugh:

Well, I must admit to having developed a stretching
exercise that follows the lines of the TwinStar...

It is very effective, as I'm sure you could imagine:

Stand with your arms straight out to their sides,
your feet positioned directly under your elbows...

Bring your hands together, as in prayer, at your
sternum before raising them directly overhead...

Then down to touch your left foot, etc...

Follow the entire linear progession through
while sychronizing your breathing...

Feel the stretchy burn... ;)

I am pretty sure it could be translated into several martial arts forms as well.

Anything having to do with balance in action is going to find a range of very practical physical applications sooner or later...

Update: Couple of last-minute tweaks...the fade-outs between 1-10 numerical sequences is actually unproductive so I have eliminated these. Your 1-10 sweeps should be viewed and implemented as one continuous loop on both sides of the aisle.

I have also picked up the tempo a little which may upset a few people. There is a reason for this however. It is important to break the habit of thinking of meditation as a strictly decelleration process. This is simply not the case and in Abrahadabra, more than any other meditation practise i have encountered, accelleration is the name of the game through and through. You are free to slow things down as much as you like but these things are designed to run FAST and generally like it like that...

I would recommend studying the illustrations as many times as it takes to get the sequences down pat, then go at whatever rates you are comfortable with.

that should be about the last of it...anything else I incorporate will go into a new meditation. I need to be especially picky with this one since it sort of sets the pace for the others...

Most visualization practices have an organic theme of some kind that you can latch onto as an addendum to the words or lines of force involved. There is no escaping the fact that Abrahadabra is all about the idea of Perfected Being and has been called a Glyph of the Great Work in Completion. This leaves little room for side-winding. Our visualization objective here is to envision this state of being as closely as we can do so. We are to visualize Perfection itself, or Completion, if you prefer (as I do) and attempt to assess by degree the differences between that and your current state of being.

Understanding these differences will become our guide to the works we have yet to perform...the *Will* we have yet to *Do*...

As far as "speeding up" vs. "slowing down" it seems as if the gist is to get it operating as fast as concievable in the sense of making it a perpetual operation with no gaps between cycles. Metaphirically speaking, to focus on the sentence vs. each letter.

something I have a question about, is the focus during each number. Is there a sensation to be attained? Is the mental pattern itself significant enough? Do I visualize etheric representations of the #'s surrounding me as such in the specified configuration?

All of these inquiries slide neatly into "What is the dance?!"

perhaps its just blueprints for a more personal experience.. in which case I'd have to ask what each person experiences during such a meditation.

If these questions are "too basic" - and I should do some groundwork research before pondering such things, in which direction would I head?

All of these inquiries slide neatly into "What is the dance?!""Turning Lead into Gold" is the essential operation at play here. Unlike the Tree itself, the Tetractys is able to tap the energy of Ain Soph Aur directly and distribute that energy evenly throughout the Tree in one continuous "unicursal" motion. Behind each of the "numbers" is a whole battery of attributions that are very useful to become aquainted with...planetary...elemental...archetypal and so on...so that the better you understand their essential natures, the better you wil be able to track results as this distribution process occurs. In general, we can expect that we are balancing, consolidating, uplifting and energizing the Sepheroth themselves in the actions being performed. The end result is transformation, but this transformation does not occur all at once. Instead it is a *layered* sort of process that occurs in graduated stages. It is possible to push things so as to achieve "quantum" breakthroughs but we have not discussed this much so far and I am hesitant to discuss it much in open forum. Nevertheless, there are things we can sometimes do to step up the wattage in more dramatic ways. For those capable of managing it, this can be very profitable.

...should do some groundwork research before pondering such things, in which direction would I head?anything you can learn pertaining to the tools you are using will enhance the whole process of observation and assimilation. If you are primarily working with Tetractys and Tree...then you'll want to learn everything you can about these (be sure to include Chakras as well). If you advance into utilizing hexagrammal fields, then again you'll want to learn as much as you can about the hexagrams etc... The rule of thumb here is the more you know, the stronger your position will tend to be.

thanks again for making these animations, my young western mind works great with motion pictures.It's gratifying to know it's working for people...even if only a few at first. I think I have actually finally pinpointed the correct book angle through all of this so it's actually helping me as well. I have to admit, even though I already know this stuff, it's fun (as well as energizing) to just sort of sit there and watch it go round and round...up and up...:cool:

They say a successful Yantra will enhance consciousness just looking at it...so far so good I think...

Here's the Final Close. This particular method of closing the Triangle & Circle is best reserved for the Final, running straight drops and back-floats through the hemispheres. In the Final Close we pay a little more attention to the Ascending-Descending Triangles. I have also included what I refer to as the *whip* action that comes at the very end. I have been more or less treating this as a matter of style but have had a lot of opportunity to scrutinize it better with the idea of instruction in mind while creating these illustrations. I realize now that it's not really a stylization so much as it is an actual principle of inertia that is being employed here. The *whip* slams the whole inertia of the rotations into a single point at center and gives us the tantric equivalent of a supernova super-fusion approaching Omega. Once you get used to it you'll appreciated the surge of energy it seems to always release... kind of like saving our biggest fireworks display for the end I guess... From the illustration it's a little hard to tell how dynamic it really is. The whole idea is to sink all of your energy into that final whip, following the final Hé drop, returning to Tau. This action should give you a pretty good sense what the term "Lord of the Horizon" is all about...

I also have *complete* version (all in pieces) but since it amounts to about 182 frames that all have to be recatalogued and combined and tested, it may be a few days before I get it posted...

weblink: TwinStar - Final Close (http://www.abrahadabra.com/twinstar.final.close.htm)

ok, first, the whole series of images is really helping with the tempo and timing...especailly with the 'final whip' as you call it. um, buzz buzz is all i can say right now, but a technical question.

in this image, it seems that right before the final whip, an arrow blasts off to the left and one to the right...am I supposed to scry those as part of the final movement, or is that simply part of the field I am operating upon.

edit: ok, now it seems i should draw the inner triangle during the first tau before the final drop and return to center?

m1thr0s
07-12-2007, 06:16 PM
right...on the final we are sort of giving the nod to the descending triangle so the drop runs right to the base of the triangle and then backloops around the descending triangle. This is your "Tau - 2 - 3 - 4" count. From there we drop into the Hé and float back to Tau as per usual, only once we return to Tau we run the little Horizon flutter, or "whip" all the way out to the edge of the Circle (it's good to imagine these lines extending infinitely). So this is your "Hé - 2 - 3 - 4" count and on the last count (4) we split back to Tau as quickly as possible with full force.

Now beware of not allowing your actions to become comical for the sake of speed...while we want strength and energy in these actions, we also want great focus a deliberation here...not just exuberance...it's also ok to slow these down a bit as needed...

I hope that helps...don't anyone hesitate to ask questions. even the best of illustrations leave a few things hanging...

Is it normal to often get a headache from the twinstar? I don't get that with the P'an Ku or Nu Kua mirrors.

Also I wanted to ask if this is a safe meditation for kids to try.

I don't understand the significance of the intonations.

Headaches? No...that is not a typical reaction that I have witnessed at all so far. I am also not sure what it means. If it is happening on a regular basis it probably means something. The TwinStar...on a purely neurological level, is asserting a balancing of brain hemispheres. It is vaguely possible that certain neurological conditions might resist this, or might cause some sort of distress due to an existing imbalance that may have formed its own pathways at odds to the balancing activity of the TwinStar. Since I am not a brain specialist I can't be sure of this. The peculiar thing is that the Hexagrammal Fields do the same thing so it makes no sense to me that the TwinStar should cause headaches while the Hexagrammal Fields do not. It's very interesting though and I would like to know more about this. Perhaps you can PM me or something.

As a rule of thumb I do not encourage kids to dive headlong into ANY formal meditation practices. It's not so much that they can be harmed by this directly...It's more a matter that their minds and bodies are already heavily preoccupied with the business of growing up and, for the mostpart, I have always felt that this process should be left to its own devices. The damage has more to do with wasting time and potentially creating a kind of allergic reaction against things actually good for them...but at the proper place and time in their lives and personal developments. Despite my public disclosures, I don't try to teach any of this stuff to people who don't already want to know it and would never advocate it for children directly. There are other things that can be done for kids more in line with what they want and need...games, puzzles, peripheral activities involving these things more or less indirectly.

no harm will come to kids from looking at anything I have to present. No direct physical or mental harm can come from the meditations themselves. You have to understand that meditation is not something people are inherently capable of doing very well. That's what the 8 Limbs of Yoga are all about...to prepare people to be able to meditate effectively. Kid's minds flit about chaotically and it takes many years to be able to even teach them how to study things effectively...to even read whole books from start to finish etc... They simply are not ready to take on something as lofty as the TwinStar.

Most adults are not ready for this, let alone kids. But the world as we know it is running out of time so I am presenting things that should ordinarily be kept hidden from the eyes of the profane altogether. A few will be able to utilize this information to good effect and it only takes a few to open the doors to a new world...a new reality for human beings. So the risk is justified from this perspective. Most will simply not be able to register any of it and that's fine...it will all be there when they are ready to deal with it in one form or another. Others will get all the wrong ideas and this cannot be helped...they can do very little real damage as a result of their failed understandings.

I will contact you about the headaches. I don't need regular reports. I have a few questions for you I will send to you via PM...

Oh well I had forgotten to keep my tongue up, it seems to have relieved the headache problem. I was working it really aggressively before so I think I really seized on the threads pretty hard and that's why I noticed the headaches more, harder work with no tongue is really not a good combo for electrical work. I was scrying the P'an Ku today for the first time in a few weeks and I got the same effect so I am pretty sure it's the tongue thing.

It really, really helps to keep the tongue up against the roof of the mouth.

You know I sort of pictured this as self contained in a rigid sort of container but the idea of letting the lines flow out into eternity is making the energy flow a lot differently, heh, I think this is going to change everything. And what do you know, I actually figured out how to draw the twinstar this afternoon, probably because of the new perspective.

There's a term in some branch of yoga relating to the "Jade Gates" which has to do with this phenomenon. Glenn Morris talks a lot about it in his books but I never really took it that seriously until I had the serious electrical activity Kain was the one who reminded me of this. The energy from the crown pools in the throat usually BELOW the jade gates (throat region) during Kundalini Shakti arousal and can burn the throat. I've experienced that maybe 6 years ago but didn't make the connection to the electrical circuit so my throat got burned pretty bad. This time the energy is descending and I'm getting both the headache and the sore throat feeling later as I continue not to raise my tongue.

So that's the story...it does seem to be a recurring phenomenon with people who arn't used to handling massive amounts of energy incoming all at once, and I'm not used to this level myself.

So perhaps you're right and most people are already used to it.

not exactly Naomi. I think the reality is that most people's energy filters are stronger than yours seem to be. I am much more accustomed to people complaining that they seem to get nothing at all from meditation work than that they get so much actitvity it is causing energy overloads...This is one of the things that we have to grapple with both as individuals and as instructors. We are usually looking at how to step things up a little so that people can actually detect what's going on...it's fairly rare that we have to also examine how to step things down a little so that a person doesn't blow themselves out. Both things have their challenges and neither is wrong or anything like that...people are wired differently, that's all...

yes certainly- Im also one who is probably thicker skinned than naomi, but only in very certain things maybe- otherwise Im very sensitive..but I have come to believe that the up turned tongue can bridge or support the flow from the spine to the front of the body and thereby harmonize the flow and let the energy circle more smoothly, but one can learn to override it maybe through both the lines under the ears and the cheeks but those details are not sure..

It is possible to push things so as to achieve "quantum" breakthroughs but we have not discussed this much so far and I am hesitant to discuss it much in open forum.
Just wanted to note that Im interested in this...I dont want to push you but since Im somehow "sirius" about it (though I may not look like it ;)) I'm very keen on hearing about results and developments, or mere reports...so anything would be welcome- even if its completely "crazy" or only relatable/manifesting by very poetic means...its always very difficult I know, even sometimes oneself isnt clear whether a sensual insight was sudden and in a jump or only gradual, in the sense that it was already "prepared" for a very long time in the past...

Oh...okay.

I love the system personally, it's very controllable and stable, most importantly and valuable of all it's fast and smooth as hell. As far as I can tell it's basically connecting the dots in my mind that I've laid out one by one over a course of many years, very beautifully and precisely - crossing boundaries I would never have crossed myself to get to goals I really wanted. So I guess having lofty goals doesn't hurt? Like it knows reality and my higher self better than I do, and will take me on auto pilot from point A to point B without a single error. Nice anyways, I would never have guessed geometry could do this, I used to be so into invocation and evocation primarily. One of the operating mottos of the twinstar when you really focus on it hard is the idea of precision, recycling and the elimination of wasted energy: time. Not in any sort of fucked up corporate consumer sense however, more like on a tantric level enhancing the fluidity of one's living experience. Changing life from a struggle into a dance.

The energy is running great now that I've been training my mind to open up more and keeping the tongue up and the refilling with water and really fresh food ingredients.

no I havent, but I had a small chat with Ng and to me it was not as extreme as your experiences: to me Ng was something that was not "keen" on (my) supplication at all, it was laughing at it or slightly disgusted by it..this was the spectrum, but these experiences are maybe very different from person to person...I'm constructing my own things, you know, and Ng was quite appreciative of them too...but hey if he wouldnt have been Id have simply gotten rid of it/him or however you know....cause "I am relentless"..haha :) (p.s. i probably wont use Ng in the next months for this- the system and its components need more study, Ng is a benevolent but harsh deity I respect him/it but Im not all of its ilk, hes a scientist but smarter he knows of the poetic developments/or agrees with me- that are about to come in order to mutate the sciences for our furthering our better developments..)

It is interesting how poetry and science seems to meld so seamlessly. I noticed that while I can't figure out for the life of me how to trace the twinstar with one line, I can draw the shapes of two dragon heads overlapping and it turns into a twinstar. Seriously it's the only way I can draw it. kind of embarassing since I've been working this thing relentlessly (RAW Kuroyagi ambition!) the past week and studied it before that.

Thanks for that m1thr0s. Well I hate prophets personally. What I meant was he doesn't speak very often externally, (to anybody, not gender specific) I mean I already realize personally for myself that he's in every single living organism on the planet, and even the inanimate ones. So yeah...just my opinion. I know, no one's seen or heard what I've been doing lately actually. I mean nobody. People keep telling me...well....Silentjohn told me the other night I need to put a 'leash' on Ningishzidda but he's just too fucking big. Isn't that right? It's too much for one person to reject. It was a disaster enough when I tried to treat him like another Athena or Jesus and just push him out. Once he gets in your head there's no going back, he just sort of lurks there in the dark waiting for you to talk to him again. Hee hee hee hee!

Yeah talking is just the tip of the iceberg from what I've seen...it does seem to encourage me to say his name a lot. Heh...oh boy. I'll shut up now...at least until the galaxy decides to unleash hell and heaven upon the earth once more. Maybe it already has.

how people manage archetypes is a variable, depending on personality, experience, physiology and other factors. as much as possible I am advocate of the "assumption" technique which has to do with integrating the archetype internally and putting its intelligence to use confronting problems and issues you would already be attempting to resolve with or without it. in this way its dynamics come to bear in terms of direct action and may not involve any discussion at all so much as leaning on its unique perspective in things so as to facilitate actual solutions etc...

ah that explains a lot. I have found that the Ng archetype tends to be able to tackle really huge problems. I should be grateful I set my sights clear out of the line of sight of most humans. The only advice I really have to offer (for Kuroyagi or others not testing this yet) is to set your sites on galaxies or if you're ambitious, the entire universe itself, nothing like just the moon and stars or other petty pocket change like that.

when I did heavy work with Saraswati/Athena - one of the few goddess who came through me unbidden, she was able to help me through the atelier setting but the Ng archetype actual bumps my speed and skill in art to the next level way beyond the speed and skill any other deity . How's that...Ng beats the patron goddess of the arts without even lifting a finger...I havn't even been pushing in that direction very hard. So much as I can tell I havn't even finished my internal engine past 2% yet...

Anyways neat stuff I can't wait for the Ng twinstar it's going to be so fun. ^_^

I'll get to it asap Naomi. I'm trying to get serious about a book right now so time is getting stretched pretty thin. In the meantime, the abbreviated version is here: http://www.abrahadabra.com/ningishzida.rising.htm

I usually just use Hebrew pronunciations...no special reason...they just seem to flow pretty good. Center & Ground actions are all the same. You just have to replace numbers 1-10 with letters/words. So N=Nun, I=Yod, N=Nun, G=Ghimmel, I=Yod, Sh=Shin, Z=Zayn, I=Yod, D=Daleth, D=Daleth, A=Aleph is the pronunciations lineup. You could always try some other toungue if Hebrew annoys you etc...maybe Sanskrit for instance.

The TwinStar is very good at assimilation (or *assumption*) since it is itself a seed archetype that virtually all double-helix forms can be viewed as emanating from. Pretty much anything made up of Yin-Yang-Jen flux values comes under its jurisdiction...so that amounts to a lot...technically everything we would be able to identify at the level of form. That may be hard to grasp but that's how it stacks up in the numbers.

So any archetype can be assimilated in this same way...you just have to come up with a TS name for it...or...alternately...just be able to project its construct into the TwinStar at the level of mental reflection. A Name or Phrase of some kind just sort of helps to stabilize the process mainly.

I don't find any language annoying, I simply don't know anything about Hebrew. Generally I use Japanese if anything, but lately I've been performing intonations in much stranger forms than I have ever witnessed before.

Seed archetype of the double helix eh? I guess then that it could be formatted to accelerate into all DNA limited pathways.

I've noted it helps the user to locate a name for intelligences on its own, as if it intuits needs and routes to such through the desires of the practitioner and the goal.

Others of "us" have a pretty good idea what's up just based on what is actually being defined here. But the ramifications are still pretty mind-boggling even for the intellectually agile...

Can you imagine the idea of Mind and Matter on a perfectly even playing field? Can you then extend that to maybe 10-11 Dimensions of universal continuum and still have enough brain cells left to explain that shit in English? Kinda tricky but that's why they call it the *Occult*...
