The elements, dark elements, and spirit fit with the nine points of Gurdjieff's Enneagram as follows:ġ) Fabric, 2) Earth, 3) Clay, 4) Water, 5) Air, 6) Glass, 7) Fire, 8) Steel, 9) Spirit This leaves four more combinations for which I prefer the term dark elements since their functioning is less visible, like dark matter and dark energy. The first corresponds with the triangles pointing up or down in the traditional symbols for the elements, and the second corresponds with the absence or presence of a line in the middle. A basic discovery is that the elements can be seen as composed of three polarities, male-female, chaos-order, and abstract-particular. It seems to fit naturally with a sequence of geometric solids discovered by James Barnes and explored by him and me. The Enochian material is not inherently elemental, but can fit with the elements in various ways. The aethers are the avenue through which influences from outside the planet are able to enter, and so climbing the aethers will tend to bring one into tune with the will coming from the Sun rather than that coming from God. An important example of this point is the business of climbing the aethers. One needs to be clear on the direction one is bringing to Enochian workings and to get to know the various beings before deciding which ones one wishes to become attuned to, if any. Of course, the flip side of choice is responsibility. Between these, the I Ged spirits, the other beings mentioned in the calls, and the various forces that all of these can bring one in contact with, one has a great deal of choice as to the direction one will go. The Enochian angels are primarily creative beings, not devotional/teaching ones, and they seem to be members of the broader Earth scheme who answer to God as well as others, as opposed to direct minions of God such as Kaballistic angels are. The Enochian material, in contrast to systems that have been known longer such as Kaballah, is not designed for the purpose of bringing people to the realization of God. Curiously, Ben talks about large numbers of human spirits going off to other star systems or universes, yet he ducks the fact that God is not out there where they'll be going, and sticks with the Piscean notion as to the point of initiation. The Age of Aquarius can be expected to bring a greater emphasis on choice as to spiritual direction. The religions of the Age of Pisces have emphasied dissolving into God (or Tao or emptiness) and exhibited a disdain for the nature of the world, categorized as a realm of sorrows where one inevitably gets crucified and so on. As contact increases with the Worldspirit, Sun, and extrastellar forces, people will develop in directions relating to these as well. As a result of human beings' physical incarnations, we have developed in ways fitting with our place in Babalon's realm. Also, there is a veil over the Earth, coincident with the aethers, which limits the influence coming from the Sun as well as the other planets of the solar system and extrasolar forces. The Babalon mentioned in the calls is the bodily intelligence which has remained in Her place. Somehow, perhaps as described in the Book of Seniors, the Worldspirit has come to be encased in the core of the planet behind a double barrier, with only a few cracks to let Her influence out. God is only a part of the Earth's creative scheme and is junior to the spirit enlivening the planet, to whom I will refer as the Worldspirit, and She is in turn junior to the spirit enlivening the Sun. from whom our inmost spirits were formed and of whom we, or most of us, are still a part. There is a being variously known as God, the Tao, etc. I should note that I have no real interest in the Golden Dawn's take on the material.īased on my own work and drawing on Ben's Book of Seniors and other results, I have come to the following conclusions. In a number of important respects it builds on the work of Benjamin Rowe, as will be noted as we proceed. These relate to the original Enochian material as received by John Dee and Edward Kelley the I Ged material as received by Runar Karlsen, which consists of tablets and call for the various groups referred to by numbers in the original calls and various other pieces of material received by Runar, Carlos de Castillo, Patricia Shaffer, James Barnes, and me. It seems simplest to give these general patterns their own page. According to my research, there are a number of patterns found in the Enochian material which are related to but not identical to certain traditional hermetic concepts.
