PART 1: THE SPACESHIP
LADDERS TO FIRE: A SPACESHIP CALLED THE HORN (see Plates 4a,b)
Thoth Living Forever and Itzpapalotl, the Black Obsidian Butterfly, have come into a smoky, turbulent, chaotic universe. They are anchored to the Great Empty Void with a Silver Chord, which Itzpapalotl is laying behind Her, spider style.
Itzpapalotl: (to Thoth) WHEW....This is the worst, smokiest universe we were ever in. Look ahead, you can't see one light year into the murk.
THOTH: (to Itzpapalotl) WELL....it's patchy. Look to beam right. You can see all the way to the edge of the universe.
Itzpapalotl: (to Thoth) That doesn't help us on the road ahead. Where are we going to start making a base in this mess?
THOTH: (to Itzpapalotl) Don't enter ahead. Look over there to beam right. Do you see that Spaceship moored interdimensionally on the 3rd planet around that Type 6 Yellow Star? They are about half-way to the edge of the universe in that direction. That would put them about 3 billion light-years away.
Itzpapalotl: (to Thoth) Yes...very interesting. There are 9 Lords of Light of Substratum quality in the Spaceship. They are obviously lost in the space-time of this universe as they have neglected to anchor themselves to the Great Void with a Silver Cord, as we have done. They have moored to the Planet interdimensionally in order to keep out dimensional beings and achieve privacy.
THOTH: (to Itzpapalotl) However, this interdimensional existence looks like a beacon to multiversal travelers, so they stand out to us, even 3 billion light-ears away.
Itzpapalotl: (to Thoth) They are BRIGHT. They are REAL BEINGS. It is surprising we didn't see them from outside this universe.
THOTH: (to Itzpapalotl) We probably did. We just didn't notice them. I think this is where we start our base to revivify this universe.
Itzpapalotl: (to Thoth) Very well. In order to stay with you, I will take the form of a Black Wolf, about your size.
(She uses the dimensional state to transfer instantly to the Spaceship....3 billion light-years traveled in NO TIME.)
The Scene shifts to a Spaceship called THE HORN. Concerning this Spaceship it is written:
"The Horn is wreathed with the Jubilee, the tenth with the Mother.
The Horn, it takes the Horn and the Spirit to restore the Spirit in YH."
Sifra Detzniyutha, Sefer HaZohar
The Spaceship is crewed with 9 Lords of Light, and a ZERO LORD who is only visible when the Circle of 10 is complete.
LORD OF THE ZERO .... Nameless, Timeless, Formless, a Circle only
LORD OF THE ONE .... Pure Unity consciousness
LORD OF THE TWO .... Balance of Light and Dark
LORD OF THE THREE .... Hidden Magic Key, creates Hall of the Dead
LORD OF THE FOUR .... Power Releaser, Lord of Life, Freer of Souls
LORD OF THE FIVE .... Lord of All Magic, Key to the Word
LORD OF THE SIX .... Lord of Light of the hidden pathways
LORD OF THE SEVEN .... Lord of Vastness, Master of Space-Time
LORD OF THE EIGHT .... Orders progress, weighs and balances
LORD OF THE NINE .... THE FATHER, VAST FACE, forming and changing form from out of the formless.
These Lords of Light are of Substratum realizations. They are in the Spaceship Crew Compartment, arranged in a circle. A tenth chair is in the circle, although presently empty. The Lord of the Zero is the Completed Circle only.
Thoth and Wolf suddenly appear. Thoth sitting in the tenth chair and Wolf curled around His feet.
THOTH: (to the Lords of Light) All Hail and Well Met! Wolf and I want to join your group.
LORD OF THE ZERO: (appearing as a light halo on the Circle, accepting Thoth and Wolf into this group, saying as a disembodied voice)
"THE CIRCLE IS COMPLETE."
LORD OF THE ONE: (to Thoth) You have always been a member of our group.
LORD OF THE TWO: (to Thoth) With the coming of you, the Void God, we finally have a complete balance of the Light and the Dark.
LORD OF THE THREE: (to Thoth) For the first time, our Hidden magic is released into the Multiverse.
LORD OF THE FOUR: (to Thoth) Our Power of Life and Soul is now released into the Multiverse.
LORD OF THE FIVE: (to Thoth) ARIOSO MAKUA KA AM. We will do all you require of us. This will release all magic into the Multiverse.
LORD OF THE SIX: (to Thoth) You bring Wolf with you, the mistress of all the hidden pathways.
LORD OF THE SEVEN: (to Thoth) You bring a Silver Cord with you. This completes our mastery of space-time by a connection to the Multiverse and Great Void.
LORD OF THE EIGHT: (to Thoth) You have an ordering plan. I will order the progress of your plan, weighing and balancing all to its purposes.
LORD OF THE NINE: (to Thoth) I AM THE FATHER, ARIKH ANPIN, Vast of Countenance. I form and change Form out of the Formless. I am the TELI, the OPHION, the Great Serpent encircling the Multiverse. I fertilize all things. I am the essential part of your plan, as I am the Barrier that prevents the Hounds of the Void from destroying your Multiverse creation.
LORD OF THE SIX: (to the Circle) Do you know who Wolf is?
THOTH: (to the LORD OF THE SIX) Feel free to reveal what you know.
LORD OF THE SIX: (to the Circle) Wolf is the Multiverse universe destroyer Itzpapalotl. (Lord of the Six projects Her vision of Itzpapalotl destroying this universe, just before Thoth stopped Her.)
[Four, Five, and Eight disappear from the Circle.]
LORD OF THE ZERO: (saying, then vanishing) "THE CIRCLE IS BROKEN."
LORD OF THE NINE: (to Lord of the Six) SIX! Why did you project that vision? Now look what you have done. That vision has caused three of us to die! We are now a Lesser Holy Assembly.
LORD OF THE SIX: (to Lord of the Nine) Which three have died?
LORD OF THE NINE: (to Lord of the Six) Four, Five, and Eight. They cannot handle my Vast Face. I could have gotten us out of this lost-in-space-time situation billions of years ago, if we had been willing to leave Four, Five, and Eight behind. I am well aware of the universe destroying Void Goddess nature of Wolf. Please withdraw your vision so that Four, Five, and Eight can resurrect. Use the Silver Cord if you want to transfer into the Multiverse and Great Void.
LORD OF THE SIX: (to all) I'm sorry. I only wanted to show all The Circle what Beings we are getting into bed with. I withdraw my vision. (Four, Five, and Eight reappear instantly in their respective chairs.)
LORD OF THE ZERO: (reappearing then saying) "THE CIRCLE IS COMPLETE."
WOLF: (to Thoth) I have been hearing about your plan steadily. Not only from you, but also from others (indicating Lord of the Eight). I think it is time to tell all of us exactly what your master plan is.
THOTH: (to the Circle) Very well. I'm not trying to keep it a secret. However, it will take a little explanation to become clear.
WOLF: (to Thoth) Go on. This plan of yours had better be something I have never heard before. We are all listening.
THOTH: (to all) This explanation of my plan will involve some material known to all, I ask your patience when you listen to these areas.
All creations are based on the essential illusion that there is something else besides the perceiver, creator. If the direct link to the perceiver is clearly maintained at all dimensions, all space-times, then the creation becomes as eternal, as timeless as the original perceiver.
The current problems of suffering, death, dissolution, and evil all come from the lack of direct perception connection to the perceiver, present in all current creations. This lack of direct perception connection causes Itzpapalotl and Myself an eternal job of destroying old-worn-out universes and all they contain. In addition to that, there is a great deal of suffering, death, dissolution and evil in all these current creations even while they are going on.
The solution is to change the gates of creation from their present ones permitting these evils. These Gates are nothing but filters permitting the creation, the program in the Divine Computer.
"Life, like a dome of many colored glass,
Stains the white Radiance of Eternity."
WOLF: (to Thoth, impatiently) Yes, we all know that intimately. What is your exact solution to this problem.
THOTH: (to all, significantly) WHAT IF...all the Gates of Creation were attributes of the Substratum?
WOLF: (to Thoth) Then your eternal creation without suffering would automatically follow, as the Substratum alone is eternal, timeless, deathless. BUT....how can you make a creation with those eternal gates that will not instantly subside into the Substratum?
THOTH: (to all) Here is the first program for the Gates of Eternal Creation. These are not all the Gates, we will pick up others as we progress through the Planet, Star, Galaxy, Universe, and Multiverse.
SA....Symbol of the Ultimate Reality, Brahman, Satori, Nirvana
Gate 1: PARYAGAC.......................It has filled all
Gate 2: CHUKRAM.........................Radiant
Gate 3: AKAYAM...............................Bodiless
Gate 4: AVRANAM............................Invulnerable
Gate 5: ASNAVIRAM........................Without Sinews
Gate 6: SUDDHAM.............................Pure
Gate 7: APAPAVIDDHAM.................Without Evil
Gate 8: KAVIR.....................................The Seer
Gate 9: MANISI...................................The Thinker
Gate 10: PARIBHUH...........................All Pervading
Gate 11: SVAYAMBHUH...................Self-Existent
Gate 12: YATHATATHYATO'RTHAN VYADADHAC CHASVATIBHYAS SAMABHYAH..
"Duly distributing through endless years the objects according to their natures."
A creation set up with these 12 as Gates is timeless, eternal. It is without evil or death, as any imperfections are automatically shunted into the Substratum. My system has an automatic Pool Cleaner.
WOLF: (instantly seeing into the core of Thoth's plan, said to all) BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! A practical program I have never seen or heard before. I approve Thoth's plan.
ALL: (joyously, following Wolf's vision) YES....let's implement this program. Out with the OLD, in with the NEW. THOTH FOREVER! We elect you our LEADER; we will follow you ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.
NINE: (to all) FINALLY! A rational program for the creation that gives the Great Void full faith and credit for its essential part in this creation, with a direct connection to the Great Void in all times and places.
EIGHT: (to Thoth) I have the job of ordering the progress, weighing and balancing the creation. It is my job to make sure this happens. I need to have more explanation.
How can I balance the need for separate bodies with Gate 3 AKAYAM....Bodiless?
THOTH: (to Eight) Create the bodies with the clear realization that the bodies are only an illusion, that the bodies never happened, that the perceiver alone exists in a continual bodiless condition.
EIGHT: (to Thoth) YES....I can easily do that by maintaining a direct connection to the perceiver.
THOTH: (to Eight) Precisely, this is what I told you I wanted to do from the beginning. DO NOT SHUT OFF THE PERCEIVER.
EIGHT: (to all) I approve this plan. I can work with it.
THOTH: (to all) I will make a group mind for us, so everyone can have instant access to everything that the others know. This way you can answer your own questions, or get the entire group to work on them. (He does so.)
NINE: (to Thoth) Amazing. Why didn't Four, Five, and Eight die again?
THOTH: (to Nine) They now have a Void God's consciousness.
WOLF: (to all) This Spaceship and its crew will furnish Ladders to Fire to the Multiverse and beyond.
