Liber HHH
LIBER HHH sub figura CCCXLI continet capitula tria: MMM, AAA et SSS
I.
MMM.
'I remember a certain holy day in the dusk of the Year, in the dusk of the
Equinox of Osiris, when first I beheld thee visibly; when first the dreadful
issue was fought out; when the Ibis-headed One charmed away the strife. I
remember thy first kiss, even as a maiden should. Nor in the dark byways was
there another: thy kisses abide'
- Liber Lapidis Lazuli VII.15.16
0. Be seated in thy Asana, wearing the robe of a Neophyte, the hood drawn.
1. It is night, heavy and hot, there are no stars. Not one breath of wind stirs
the surface of the sea, that is thou. No fish play in the depths.
2. Let a Breath rise and ruffle the waters. This also thou shalt fell playing
upon thy skin. It will distract thy meditation twice or thrice, after which
thou shouldst have conquered this distraction. But unless thou first feel
it, that Breath has not arisen.
3. Next, the night is riven by the lightning flash. This also shalt thou feel
in thy body, which shall shiver and leap with the shock, and that also
must both be suffered and overcome.
4. After the lightning flash, resteth in the zenith a minute point of light.
And that light shalt radiate a right cone shall be established upon the sea,
and it is day.
With this, thy body shall be rigid, automatically, and this shalt thou
let endure, withdrawing thyself in thine heart in the form of an upright
Egg of Blackness(1), and therein shalt thou abide for a space.
5. When all this is perfectly and easily performed, let the aspirant
figure to himself a struggle with the whole force of the Universe. In this,
he is only saved by his minuteness, But in the end, he is overcome by Death
who covers him with a black cross.
Let his body fall supine with arms outstretched.
6. So lying, let him aspire fervently unto the Holy Guardian Angel.
7. Now let him resume his former posture.
Two and twenty times shall he figure to himself that he is bitten by a
serpent, feeling in his body the poison thereof and let each bite be healed
by an eagle or a hawk, spreading its wings above his head and dropping
thereupon a healing dew. But let the last bite be so terrible a pang at
the nape of the neck that he seemeth to die, and let the healing dew be of
such virtue that he leapeth to his feet.
8. Let there be now placed within his egg a red cross, then a green cross,
then a golden cross, then a silver cross; or those things which there
shadow forth. Herein is silence; for he that hath rightly performed the
meditation will understand the inner meaning hereof, and it shall serve
as a test of himself and his fellows.
9. Let him now remain in the Pyramid or Cone of Light, as an Egg, but no more
of Blackness.
10. Then let his body be in the position of the Hanged Man, and let him
aspire with all his force unto the Holy Guardian Angel.
11. The grace having been granted unto him, let him partake mystically of thre
Eucharist of the Five Elements and let him proclaim Light in Extension;
yea, let him proclaim Light in Extension.
(1) The Egg of Blackness or Akasha Tatva ( Element of the Void ) used to form
the basis of a meditation practise in the Golden Dawn. It is the Egg of
Spirit which surrounds the image of the contemplative.
II.
AAA
'These loosen the swathings of the corpse; these unbind the feet of Osiris, so
that the flaming God(2) may rage through the firmament with his fantastic
spear.'
-Liber Lapidis Lazuli VII.III
0. Be seated in thine Asan, or recumbent in Shavasana, or in the position of
the dying Buddha.
1. Think of thy death; imagine the various diseases that may attack thee, or
accidents overtake thee. Picture the process of death, apllying always to
thyself.
( A useful preliminary practise is to read text-books of Pathology,
and to visit museums and dissecting-rooms. )
2. Continue this practise until death is complete; follow the corpse through
the stages of embalming, wrapping and burial.
3. Now imagine a divine breath entering thy nostrils.
4. Next, imagine a divine light entering the eyes.
5. Now, imagine the divine voice awakening the ears.
6. Now, imagine the divine kiss imprinted on the lips.
7. Next, imagine the divine energy informing the nerves and muscles of the
body, and concentrate on the phenomenon which will already have been
observed in 3, the restoring of the circulation.
8. Last, imagine the return of the reproductive power, and employ this to
the impregnation of the Egg of Light in which man is bathed.
9. Now represent to thyself that this Egg is the Disk of the Sun, setting in
the West.
10. Let it sink into Blackness, borne in the bark of heaven, upon the back of
the holy cow Hathor. And it may be that thou shalt hear the moaning
thereof.
11. Let it become blacker that all blackness. And in this meditation thou shalt
be utterly without fear, for that the blackness that will appear unto thee
is a thing dreadful beyond all thy comprehension.
And it shall come to pass that if thou hast well and properly performed
this meditation that on a sudden thou shalt hear the drone and booming
of a Beetle.
12. Now then shall the Blackness pass, and with rose and gold shalt thou
arise in the East, with the cry of a Hawk resounding in thine ear. Shrill
shall it be and harsh.
13. At the end shalt thou rise and stand in the mid-heaven, a globe of glory.
And therewith shall arise the mighty Sound that holy men have likened
unto the roaring of a Lion.
14. Then shalt thou withdraw thyself from the Vision, gathering thyself into
the divine form of Osiris upon his throne.
15. Then shalt thou repeat audibly the cry of triumph of the god re-arisen,
as it shall have been given unto thee by thy Superior.
16. And this being accomplished, thou mayest enter again into the Vision,
that thereby shall be perfected in Thee.
17. After this shalt thou return into the Body, and give thanks unto the
Most High God IAIDA(3), yea unto the Most High God IAIDA.
18. Mark well that this operation should be performed if it be possible in a
place set apart and consecrated to the Works of the Magick of Light. Also
that the Temple should be ceremonially open as thou hast knowledge and
skill to perform, and that at the end thereof the closing should be most
carefully accomplished. But in the preliminary practise it is enough to
cleanse thyself by ablution, by robing, and by the rituals of the
Pentagram and Hexagram.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
0-2 should be practised at first, until some realization is obtained; and the
practise should always be followed by a divine invocation of Apollo or of
Isis or fo Jupiter or of Serapis.
Next, after a swift summary of 0-2, practise 3-7.
This being mastered, add 8.
Then add 9-13.
Then being prepared and fortified, well fitted for the work, perform the whole
meditation at one time. And let this be continued until perfect success be
attained therein. For this is a mighty meditation and holy, having power even
upon Death, yea, having power even upon Death.
( Note by Fra. O.M.(4). At any time during this meditation the concentration
may bring about Samadhi. This is to be feared and shunned, more than any
other breaking of control, for that it is the most tremendous of the forces
which threaten to obsess. There is also some danger of acute melancholia
at point 1.)
(2) Horus
(3) An Enochian name for God. It appears in the Angelic Call or Keys of John
Dee.
(4) Ou Mh or Crowley.
III.
SSS
'Thou art a beautiful thing, whiter than any woman in the column of this
vibration.
'I shoot up vertically like an arrow, and become that Above.
'But it is death, and the flame of my pyre.
'Ascend in the flame of my pyre, O my soul!
'Thy God is like the cold emptiness of the utmost heaven, into which thou
radiatest thy little light.
'When Thou shalt know me, O empty God, my flame shall utterly expire in thy
great N.O.X.'
- Liber Lapidis Lazuli. I.36-40
0. Be seated in thine Asana, preferably the Thunderbolt. It is essential the
spine be vertical.
1. In this practise the cavity of the brain is the Yoni; the spinal cord
is the Lingam.
2. Concentrate thy thought of adoration on the brain.
3. Now begin to awaken the spine in this manner, Concentrate thy thought of
thyself in the base of the spine, and move it gradually up a little at a
time.
By this means, thou wilt become coscious of the spine, feeling each
vertebra as a separate entity. This must be acheived most fully and
perfectly before the further practise is begun.
4. Next, adore the brain as before, but figure, to thyself its content as
infinite. Deem it to be the womb of Isis, or the body of Nuit.
5. Next, identify thyself with the base of the spine as before, but figure
to thyself its energy as infinite. Deem it to be the phallus of Osiris or
the being of Hadit.
6. These two concentrations 4 and 5 may be pushed to the point of Samadhi. Yet
lose not control of the will; let not Samadhi be thy master herein.
7. Now then, being conscious both of the brain and the spine, and unconscious
of all else, do thou imagine the hunger of the one for the emptiness of the
brain, the ache of the spine, even as the emptiness of space and the
aimlessness of matter.
8. Let this agony grow until it be insupportable, resisting by will every
temptation. Not until thine whole body is bathed in sweat, or it may be in
sweat of blood, and until a cry of intolerable anguish is forced from thy
closed lips, shalt thou proceed.
9. Now let a current of light, deep azure flecked with scarlet, pass up and
down the spine, striking as it were upon thyself that art coiled at the
base of the spine.
Let this be exceedingly slow and subtle; and though it be accompanied
with pleasure, resisit; and though it be accompanied with pain, resist.
10. This shalt continue until thou art exhausted, never relaxing the control.
Until thou canst perform this one section 9 during a whole hour, proceed
not. And withdraw from the meditation by an act of will, passing into a
gentle Pranayama without Kumbhakham, and meditating on Harpocrates, the
silent and virginal God.
11. Then, at last, being well-fitted in body and mind, fixed in peace, beneath
a favourable heaven of starts, at night, in calm and warm weather,
mayst thou quicken then movement of the light until it be taken up by
the brain and the spine, independently of thy will.
12. If in this hour thou shouldst die, is it not written, 'Blessed are the
dead that die in the Lord'? Yea, Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord!
