PHILOSOPHUS GRADE: SELF INITIATION
|
|
Entrance into the next grade is by an
act of will, of which the many methods that exist lead to the
same result, and this confers an office in the Temple of
Initiation, confirming the perfect understanding of the Formula
of Initiation.
Let the Philosophus make a record of
the transition, imbuing it with as great a detail as possible in
the Magick Journal and Record for the grade.
Additionally instructed to, after
great consideration, contemplate his or her motto and any
perceived need for changing it. Also instructed to start a new
Record and Journal for the grade.

~ Dominus Liminis ~ |
|
Let the Dominus Liminis proceed, in as much as internal and
external circumstances allow, in the following order: |
1. Attain success in the final practice in Liber III
and acquire mastery of Pratyahara and Dharana, as
instructed in Liber IV, Part 2.
2. Success in the practices contained in Liber DCCCXXXI,
Liber XI and Liber DLV.
3. Forms the solution to the Lighting of the Lamp, which
has been called many things, (Key of the Mysteries,
Sliding Key, No-Thing, OT, Little-Light, etc.) yet
is no more than a certain perspective attained through
achieved harmony.
4. Then shall the Aspirant’s one system of Magick be
formed, unique to the Aspirant, and completely
accomplished whence it is properly named and defined.
5. Having already acquired the perfect understanding of
the Formula of Initiation and the solution to
the Lighting of the Lamp, the third and final
stage of self-sufficiency is achieved. |
|
Thus shall the Dominus Liminis follow the Light of the Lamp
through the three paths leading into the House of Beauty, and
partake of the mysteries therein.
{None of these practices are easy and it is not to be implied
otherwise from such brief instruction as given above.}
