From the Dark Sun we proceed onward with the Planetary and Lunar Spirits. The first-born Children of the Father-Mother Dark Sun are the Planetary and Lunar Night Powers. Each Night Power has elected to incarnate into a planetary or lunar physical body. They serve the noble purpose of giving a home to countless souls. They serve as Father, Mother, and Guardian to all the souls incarnate thereon. They are beautiful, Magickal Beings of the Night Spirit's Power. They all embody the Energy of the Night Soul. They all serve to help the progress and advancement of lesser souls. Think about this; you only live a span of generally less then one hundred years, but they live a life that is many billions of years long! Thus, you should recognize them for what they are, and give them your energy as best you can. Each Planetary and Lunar Night Power has followed a separate and unique magickal evolution, which is ever ongoing, just as you have. The only thing is, that they have been at it a lot longer then you have. You find that, just as you are strong in certain inner traits and qualities, so the Planetary and Lunar Night Beings are. They have embodied certain magickal qualities and forces from their magickal growth and advancement. These forces and qualities make up their Inner Nature and are reflected in Their Auras. There is a science that is based upon the interplay of these forces, and others, on humankind. It is called Astrology. It is based upon many factors and is a very real science. What you are going to do is study the Inner Nature of each Planetary and Lunar Night Spirit, and then the Auric effect of that Night Spirit, on you, when it plays upon you (or others) the strongest. You will begin with the Night Spirit Mercury. Perhaps, it is here, that I should interject this bit of information. The names of the Lunar and Planetary Night Spirits are prefixed with the word Night God or Goddess. This is so, whenever you refer to them as Magickal Beings in speech, or addressing them in meditation. Although each Lunar and Planetary Spirit contains a Yin and Yang side their is one aspect that is predominate just as there is in you. Let's return now to the Night God Mercury. Mercury has always been represented as the winged god messenger. You can, indeed, think of Mercury as the Winged Night Spirit, in the form of a beautiful Silver Hawk. The Hawk is the symbol of great magickal attainment, and the Night God Mercury has reached those lofty heights of the Planetary Oversoul. His very core of Being is filled with Night Energy. His Presence is filled with Oversoul Strength and the Night Power. Yet, His Nature is that of a very warm Being. He stands as the Rock of the Oversoul upon whom all may build their lives in confidence. He is sure of His Place in the Drama of Life. His Aura radiates with the Power of the Night Command and Direction. Thus, He fills your life with Night Direction when you are open to His Influence. When you are attuned to His Presence and Power, you are filled with the Presence of Oversoul. You find inner freedom and independence in yourself as the Magickal Hawk. You find yourself as a seeker of Wisdom, wherever It may be. His Presence quickens your mental faculties and gives you good memory. You enjoy the pursuit of Wisdom in reading and writing. His Aura makes you perceptive, studious, and logical. You can be a strong leader in life. This is the Power of the Night God Mercury in your life. From the Night Spirit Mercury, you travel to visit with the Night Goddess Venus. Venus is a Night Planetary Goddess who is very Warm, Vibrant, and Alive with the Night Energy. She is filled with the Energy of the Oversoul and the Night Spirit, which She radiates in Her Aura to all beings. If you were to visualize Her Presence, you would see Her attired in a flowing, red gown. She has beautiful green eyes, skin that is pale and soft, and Her hair is long, flowing, and red in color. You find Her a bit Reserved and Mysterious in Nature. She is filled with the deepest of Compassion for others. You know Her as the Morning Star, the last to say good-bye. When you bathe in the Presence of Her Aura, your Inner Nature becomes filled with Energy. She fills you with a vibrancy and warmth for life. She gives to you an artistic nature and an energy for beauty, art, and music. You become a part of Her Compassion for all of life. You enjoy being with other people and spreading harmony, peace, and happiness among them. This is the Power of the Goddess Venus in your life. From here, you move to the next Goddess, and One whom you call Mother, the Earth. The Presence of Mother Earth is a very Commanding One. She has a very strong sense of Direction and Purpose in Her Life. Yet, you find Her a very Compassionate and Loving Creature. If you could envision Her Presence, you would find Her arrayed in a beautiful, emerald green gown and shimmering in the Glory of the Night Spirit's Light. She is a very Magickal and Elegant Lady. She is very much concerned with life and nature. When filled with the Presence of Her Nature, you, too, become filled with a concern for life and nature. You sense the great importance all life and nature plays in your world. You feel very earthy and strong in the ways of the Earth. You become a part of Her Direction and Purpose in Life. You become filled with Her Compassion and Concern for all things living. You know the feeling of true parenthood, just as She does for all of you. This is your Mother and Night Goddess, Earth. You won't have to go far to meet your next Lunar Night Goddess, the Moon. She has been known as Diana, or Artemis, the Goddess of Light and the Moon. She has been recognized as the Goddess of Fertility. The Moon's Light comes from sun light but she reflects to the Earth only Yin Light. She is the Great Reflector of the Yin Light into your world. She is the Giant Mirror through which humankind can see their selves reflected. Thus, She is All- seeing of the wrong and harm that is done to the beautiful body of the Goddess Earth. As you meditate upon Her Presence, you see only the All-seeing Eye and the tears that are shed for humankind. The Goddess Diana is a very Compassionate and Loving Being, who has constantly seen the wrong and harm caused by humankind. Thus, She is filled with a Great Sadness over humankind and its doings. When you come strongly under Her Presence, you are filled with a restlessness and boundless energy to correct those wrongs. She has great control over your emotional nature and can raise in you the highest of qualities. She makes you sensitive and intuitive to all things around you. She fills you with great compassion. She gives you a receptive and imaginative mind. This is the outpouring of the Goddess Diana's Aura on you. Now, you are off to visit the Night God Mars. Man has always envisioned the Night God Mars as a god of war. But the time has passed, when the Night God Mars may be referred to as such. The Night God Mars, as all the Planetary Night Spirits, is a Great Being of the Night Spirit and Energy. The problem lies with humankind itself. The Energies of Mars can either bring humankind to its Highest, or lowest Self, dependent on the Inner Nature of humankind. Thus, the Energies have always reacted adversely with the human aura and created a state of war in humankind. Where Mars was, before, symbolized as a Hawk, now, He shall be symbolized as a Swan. The Swan is a living symbol of the Oversoul in the Night Spirit. The Night God Mars is a Masculine Night Spirit who is Young and Energetic. He is Night Courage and Strength. He represents Victory in, and through, Peace. He is the Fighter and Defender of the Ways of the Night Spirit. He is a very Wise and Noble Night Spirit. He is a King in All Things. His Aura can raise the highest and noblest of qualities in humankind. He fills you with a energy of liberty, freedom, and independence. He gives to you an Inner Nature of Night Strength and Courage. You become filled with inner purpose and direction. You are filled with His Night Energy and thus, are ambitious, aggressive, and straightforward in all things. You are given a good mind that makes you ingenious and inventive. You are filled with the Wisdom of the Night God Mars. When you are filled with His Night Energies, you must always be centered in your Oversoul. You must guard against a lack of patience and rashness. You must guard against an unruly temper. You must always be filled with the Night Energy and Light, and thus raise the Energies of the Night God Mars to their Highest in you. You leave the Night Spirit Mars, and move on to the Goddess Jupiter. Perhaps this will upset many, but the Goddess Jupiter is predominately a Feminine Night Spirit. She does have strong Masculine overtones, but She is, nonetheless, a Feminine Night Spirit. If you could envision Her Presence, you would see Her with very long, flowing, blond hair. She wears a very radiant dress of blue light. She is a very Magickal and Radiant Goddess. She is a virtual pool of Explosive Night Energy. She is always ready to go; to be; to do. She is filled with Night Liberty, Freedom, Justice, and the Eternal Night Balance. She is symbolized by a Blue Raven of Harmony and Peace. She is a very Refined and Elegant Being. She is very businesslike in all Her Ways. She brings to you this businesslike attitude. She fills you with a very real sense of purpose and direction. She gives you strong convictions. She give to you an optimistic, confidant, and determined attitude. When you have the Power of the Goddess Jupiter flowing through strongly, you are very sincere, courteous, pleasant, and noble person. You are a very refined individual. You value your freedom and independence very highly. This is the Power of the Goddess Jupiter. You leave Her to visit another of Her Sisters, the Goddess Saturn. As you approach the Aura of the Goddess Saturn, you find Her Awesome, Powerful, and Creative. She is filled with Great Elegance and Grace. She is a very Mysterious the Goddess of the Night and Power. She is the Mistress of Time and Space. She is the Taskmaster for those who would enter the Path towards Night Consciousness. She wears the Silver Crown of the Oversoul, and holds it for all who attain to the Oversoul. She is a very Stern Goddess, who demands much from Her Sons and Daughters. Yet, She is filled with Great Compassion and Energy. Her Very Nature contains Night Tolerance, Patience, and Fortitude. She brings to all humankind the aspiration to attain unto the Oversoul. If Saturn's Aura rules in you then you are very calm, grave, and serious in nature. You are one who is ready to face the trials and tests of life. You are ready for the great changes and upsets to come into your life. You are ready, because you are one who strives to become the Oversoul in all things. There is no greater goal and crown to be won, from the Hands of the Goddess Saturn. You must take on the Goddess' Qualities of Tolerance, Patience, and Fortitude. You must be ready for the long, slow climb towards Night Consciousness, for indeed, with these Night Qualities inside yourself, you can not fail. These are the Powers of the Goddess Saturn, in the life of those who would be the Oversoul. Let's go onward and meet the Night God Uranus. The Inner World of the Night God Uranus is one related to the technology of the world. He is a very Strong-willed Night God. He has a great feeling for the World of Technology. He is very thorough in all He undertakes. The Power of His Aura is very far reaching, and is felt strongly in the world today. He gives to those, who feel His Power, strong originality and independence of thought. His Power gives the genius and inventor of the world. The inventor is a lover of his freedom and independence. As with all geniuses and inventors, there is a peculiarity or strangeness that tends to set them apart from others. It makes them feel as if they are many years ahead of their time. The Night Spirit Uranus is still very much wrapped up in His Own Ways and Mysteries, and so it is with the next the Night God Neptune. To look into the Inner Nature of the Night God Neptune is very much like looking into the depths of the oceans. His Inner Nature is extremely Deep and Vast. The Inner Depths of Neptune conceal many of the Ancient Mysteries that are still to be revealed to humankind. The Night God Neptune is a very Refined and Noble Planetary Night God. He is filled to the Depths with Night Strength and Power. He is symbolized by a Trident, with a Blazing Silver Light atop it. He gives to you Inner Strength of Purpose and Direction. He knows who you are; why you are; and where you're going. He fills you with a sense of Destiny and Purpose in Life. His Aura fills you with His Night Strength. He gives to you an Energy for the Mysteries. He makes you intuitive and perceptive to the Night Force. To those in whom the Power of the Night God Neptune flows strongest, He gives the Energy of the Seas and Oceans. It is best, for this one, to live close to large bodies of water. This is the Power of the Night God Neptune. Your last stop is to visit the Night Goddess/God Pluto. In the Night God Pluto, the Forces of Masculinity and Femininity are in equal balance. The Night God is neither more feminine or more masculine, but finds a balance in both. In the Night God Pluto, you find the Knowledge of the Night. S/he is filled with Night Life, Light, and Speed. S/he is the Guardian of the Night Age. S/he is the Harbinger of the Age of the Eternal Night. S/he is the First One to see and understand the New Horizons that lie before humankind. S/he is symbolized by the Equilateral Triangle ablaze in Green Cold Fire. She is filled with a New Night Power for the Yin System and it is called Cold Fire. It represents a new form of Night Power and Strength, and when magickally invoked, feels both cool and warm. Its Power has yet to be fully understood and used in this world. The Night Goddess/God Pluto represents, in humankind, the dying of the material concerns and the birth of the magickal way of life. S/he will fill humankind with a new power and energy that will bring about new ways of life. If the Powers of the Night Goddess/God Pluto flow strongest in you, you will find yourself standing atop the Mountain of the Night God, holding aloft the Blazing Night Energy of Your Own Divinity. In the Night Goddess/God Pluto, you find the New Human. This is the Human of the Night Age, the Aquarian Age, the return to a Magickal Way of Life. You found that Dark Stars, Planets, and Moons are Conscious, Sentient Beings of the Night Power and Energy. You found that in some ways they differ as much as humans differ from each other. May you find in knowing the Planetary Night Goddess/Gods and the Goddess Diana, greater understanding about yourself, your future, and your relation to the Universe around you. You leave the Magickal-Material Universe of the Planetary and Lunar Goddess/Gods and enter into the Magickal Realm of the Night Teachers. 43. The Night Guild You will recall, for a moment, that in the beginning of the book, I stated then, while discussing the Night Teachers, that I would return to them later and go into greater depth and detail. Therefore, I have donated this topic to the in-depth examination of the Night Teachers in their realm. I discussed earlier in the book, the realm in which they live. You will remember that the Night Realm (Causal Realm) was the home of the Perfected Night Magician. This is the region of the Night Teachers, the Perfected Humankind. Yet, the Night Teachers also work and reside in the lower dimensions. You will recall that the Night Guild is the organization dedicated to the service of the Will of the Night Spirit. It is dedicated to using the Power, Wisdom, and Energy of the Night Spirit in whatever way is required to further promote that Will. The membership of the Night Guild is as vast and varied as the stars that make up the Universe. There are members that work in Realms and Spheres of Light and Energy far beyond your imagination. I spoke in the last topic, of those members who are the Night and Planetary Night Spirits. These are the Great Beings that are the Night Spirit and Life of the planets and suns of the Dark Sun system. There are even Magickal Beings who are on an even higher magickal level then these Great Ones. What you will become the most familiar with, and your interest lies with in this topic, are those Great Ones who are the Night Teachers. The Night Teachers, as you will remember, are those members who work directly with the magickal evolution and progress of Earth and its inhabitants. What kind of Beings are they really? Well, they are in reality very much like you. They are like you because they have walked the same roads that you walk. Many have lived before on Earth facing the same trials and testings you face each day. They have lived many lives and finally overcome the cycle of life and death on Earth. They are free of all Earthly karma. They are the Elder Brothers and Sisters of Earth. In the Night Guild are the Invisible Directors and Governors of the countries, states, provinces, and large cities on Earth. There is a Guild Member for each of these geographical regions, and a World Director over all of them and the planet. The World Director is Germain. His last incarnation on Earth was as the Comte de Sainte-Germain. There are many other offices held within the Invisible Government. I cannot give you their names nor regions that they rule over because they are too busy dealing with the world and its population and problems to actually teach. You should not call upon the World Director or any of his hierarchy. They serve only the indwelling Night Presence of the Planet and would find any interruption or disturbance troubling. What does concern you is a branch of the Invisible Government that does deal with you directly. This is the office of the World Teacher. The office of World Teacher is currently held by the Night Teacher Merlin. It is His task to plan the magickal education of the inhabitants of Earth. If it is necessary to establish a new teaching then one of their own members is selected to establish it. The World Teacher may elect to go into the world or may select an apprentice to go. This is indeed a great honor for the apprentice so selected. The members of the Night Guild who work under the direction of the World Teacher are the Night Teachers. You will recall that the Night Teachers deal directly with those who have traveled far enough on the Night Road and truly want to become Night Magicians. Let's have a quick review of the relationship between the Teacher and apprentice. You will remember that the initial contact between yourself and the Teacher is very minimal. This contact only comes about when you have been accepted on the road of Night Magick. In time, and with self-perseverance, the relationship between yourself and the Night Teacher deepens, until you become the Teacher's apprentice. Then you come under Her/His direct supervision and instruction. You become as Mother/Father and Daughter/Son. Yet, you ask yourself the same question, who is your Night Teacher? To answer this questions, leads you to the Seven Forces of Life. The Seven Forces of Life are the seven basic types of forces, characteristics, and vibrations that can be found in life. There are seven basic types of people, and within their Inner Nature, these Seven Forces can be seen at work. For each type of person, there is one of the Forces that strongly predominates over the others. The Seven Forces of Life are the seven predominate ways that a person may find expression in life. In you, there is a predominate Force and characteristic that makes up your Inner Nature, and it is through expression of this trait in life, that you find satisfaction and happiness. You would even find this true for the Night Teachers. They find predominate expression through one of the Seven Forces of Life. The Night Teachers have achieved, though, perfection and mastery in each of the Seven Forces, and have the seven basic characteristics balanced evenly within their Inner Nature. Yet you will find that One Force and characteristic is predominate over the others. It is from this Dominant Force that the Night Teachers choose Their students and apprentices. The Night Teacher chooses Their apprentice based upon like vibration. The Teacher and apprentice can be found traveling the same road of expression in life. The Teacher and apprentice are on One of the Seven Forces of Life. This is the predominate Force and drive of their lives. As I said earlier, there is a Night Teacher who is the Channel and Focus for each of the Seven Forces. You will find in Her/Him the Supreme Perfection and Expression of the Force. They are the Gateway for the Force from out of the Infinite, into the finite. We will call Her/Him the "Keeper of the Force", and shorten it to "Keeper". There are seven Keepers, and they are each Teachers of apprentices. There are also many Teachers who do not function as Keepers, but nonetheless, receive apprentices based upon the Force predominate in both their lives. The real key, in the selection of the apprentice, is harmony between both the Teacher and the student. Let's examine the Seven Forces of Life, and their Keepers, and then meet a few other Teachers of the Night Realm. You will begin, then, with the First Force. The First Force is the Will and Power of the Night Spirit. You find it, exemplified and exalted, in the personage of its Keeper, Asmodeus. The Keeper Asmodeus is a Night Teacher in whom flows the True Power of the Night Spirit, under the Direction of the Magickal Will. He is a stern but kindly Teacher, asking only the very best from His apprentices. If He were to appear, in person, to an apprentice, He would appear in an Indian attire, that is, turban and robe complete. To be His apprentice will require the strongest of will to persevere through all trials and testings. The apprentice, in whom the First Force dominates, is a self-ruler. The apprentice prefers to have self-rule and independence over their life. The worst thing, the apprentice feels could happen is to have to work for another. This would be pure misery. They are the kind of individual, who takes the initiative and sets the course. They are of strong will and the ruler in life. They will make the queen/king, statesperson, or governor of the physical world. They will seek freedom through mastery over self and the world around them. This is the way of the Teachers and apprentices of the First Force of Night Power and Will. The Second Force is the Wisdom of the Night Spirit. It finds a special place in the Being of its Keeper, Kali. In appearance, to Her apprentices, She appears as an Indian (India). She is a very kind and loving Teacher. She helps bring to Her students, the perfect example of Night Consciousness. As a Magickal Teacher, She tries to help Her students grow in magick and expand their Inner Vision, so that they can see things as She sees them, and understand things as She understands them, and above all, to have the Wisdom of the Night Spirit to respond to things as She would respond to them. Her expressed desire is to see Her apprentices take flight, on their own, into the Night Realm, and soar as the Great Magickal Owl. The apprentice of the Second Force is the student of life. They are the kind of person who will learn by studying all of life around them. They will gain their freedom from life and death on Earth, by observing and learning from all that goes on around them. This is how they will gain illumination and enlightenment, and soar into the Night Realm. They are the philosopher and poet. These are the Teachers and apprentices of the Second Force of Night Wisdom. The Third Force is the Energy of the Night Spirit. There is no one, who could better embody this Force, then its Keeper, Baal. As a Magickal Teacher, He seeks to impart to His apprentices, an Energy that is unknown in the world. An Energy that is purely and wholly of the Night Spirit. He teaches of an Energy that is totally impartial and a balm to heal all wounds. His guidance sets the apprentice free of any limitations. He teaches the apprentice to be free of dependance upon another's judgment, and above all, another's will. The apprentice is the true disciple of the Night. The apprentice gives their all in energy to the Night. They see no differences in the races of humankind but know them all as the Children of the Night Spirit. They are totally devoted to bringing all the world back under the Night Spirit. To returning the world back to Yin. This is the way of the Teachers and apprentices in the Third Force of Night Energy. The Fourth Force is the crossroad of the Night Forces of Life. You have seen that the first Three Forces, and the way that they are expressed in life, are wholly that of the Night Spirit. They have their center of expression in the Magickal. As you will see shortly, the last three have their expression and unfoldment on the material plane. The Fourth Force is, therefore, referred to as the Crossroad of the Night Forces. It is the Force of Balance, Dignity, and Purity. This Force finds its expression through the Mighty Keeper, Lilith. She is a very stern Teacher, but at the same time, has a very warm and loving sense of humor. She is very demanding of Her apprentices to always do their best, and pushes them hard in all they do. Under Her tutelage, the apprentice cannot fail but to grow magickally. Her Presence is very powerful and noble, and once She visits Her apprentices, they will never forget Her. The apprentice of the Fourth Force always tries to achieve balance in all they undertake. They are the excellent arbitrator. They have the wonderful ability to see all the sides of an issue. The only problem, here, is that the apprentice can be faced with indecision because of this very ability. Therefore, it is very necessary for the apprentice, no matter the Life Force they're on, to develop all of the Forces to the greatest degree of perfection and balance possible. The apprentice seeks freedom through the perfection and purity of their Inner Nature and the outer world. It is their way, to achieve perfection, through the balance of both the magickal and physical worlds. This is the way of the Teachers and apprentices in the Fourth Force of Night Balance, Dignity, and Purity. The Fifth Force is that of Knowledge. The Keeper of the Fifth Force is Dagon. This Force finds itself in great expression throughout the world. The Keeper Dagon instructs the apprentice in the ways of knowledge that are to be found in the deep study of the ways and laws of nature. He teaches that it is through the study of the Earth, and the learning and understanding of its concealed knowledge, that you as an apprentice can find your Inner Freedom. The Keeper Dagon is a mighty Teacher and whose ways follow very closely to those of Nature. If you want to know more about His Nature, then you must study that of the Earth's. The apprentice of the Fifth Force seeks to find knowledge in the world. The problem is that many students become lost in the seeming rigidity of Earth science. The ordinary person of this Force is your scientist of today. But, the apprentices of this Force must go beyond what seems the scientific knowledge of today. They must study the ways of the Earth and all of nature, and from that study will come their Inner Freedom and Night Consciousness. This is the way of the Fifth Force and its Teachers and apprentices. The Sixth Force is the return to the Way of Energy. The Sixth Force is that of Devotion to the Night Spirit. This is a very powerful Force and is embodied in its Keeper, Lucifer. The Keeper Lucifer teaches the Force of Devotion to His apprentices. He brings into their being the true and burning feeling of Devotion to the Night Spirit. He conveys, into their world of feeling, the devotion necessary to complete the journey to their Oversoul. He brings, to their Inner Vision, the energy and power that is behind everything in the world of nature and form. He shows them the power and energy that is behind all things, which is the Night Spirit. The Keeper Lucifer is a very Radiant and Magnificent Being. He is filled with an Inner Yin Light and Radiance that comes from the Exalted Devotion found within Him. He is a very patient Teacher as are all the Teachers of the Night. The Keeper of the Sixth Force has a true understanding of all His apprentices. The devotion practiced by the apprentices allow them to find happiness in all that happens to them in life. They except all that comes into their world knowing that, whether it seems good or bad at the time, that it is all for their magickal growth. They have true belief and trust in the Night Spirit. They know that all their needs will be met through the agency of the Night Spirit. This is the Sixth Force of Devotion to the Night Spirit and its Teachers and apprentices. The Seventh Force is founded in creativeness through the Night Spirit. The Seventh Force is the Beauty and Action of the Night Spirit. This Force is found in rare and exalted form in its Keeper, Hecate. The Keeper Hecate imparts to Her apprentices the Energy and Beauty that is found in all of the Night Spirit's Creation. She teaches them how to create using the Power and Will of the Night Spirit. She makes of them Magickal Channels for the Creative Power of the Night Spirit to flow through. She shows them that within all of the Night Spirit's Creation, flows Its Night Spirit, Beauty, Power, Will, and Action. She is a very beautiful and wise Teacher. She finds in all of Her apprentices the Magickal Beauty and Action being expressed. She helps all Her apprentices to find within them the Touch of the Magickal Artist. You see, then, the type of apprentices found under the Seventh Force of Beauty and Action in the Night Spirit. The apprentices of the Seventh Force are very sensitive and refined individuals. They are the artists and artisans of life. Through them flows the Creative Power and Will of the Night Spirit, and by the action of their steady minds, feelings, and hands, which are in tune to this Power, come the rare forms of creativity to the world. The apprentices truly worship the Night Spirit in nature. They find in the power and beauty of nature, their Inner Self. There is no greater communion that can be found by them, then that within the Night Spirit found in nature. The apprentices are able to look upon the beauty and power of a sunset over the ocean, a wooded landscape, or mountainous scene, and feel, absorb, and become that very power and beauty. They can even go further, by expressing that very essence of the Night Spirit in painting, sculpturing, composing, writing, or craftsmanship. The apprentices, through their talents, can bring to others the power and beauty they feel which is captured in a work of art. The Seventh Force has also been said to find expression in the rite or ceremony. It doesn't matter whether that rite be of a magickal nature, or that of the coronation of a Queen/King, all rites are rooted in the Seventh Force of Beauty and Action of the Night Spirit. For example, let's look at any rite that can be found in this book. What do you see? In each rite, you find that all the acts in combination with each other form a true creation of art and beauty. The acts, gestures, and movements of the Night Magicians officiating and participating are very graceful and add to the overall picture being painted. You have incense, candles, altar cloth, background draperies perhaps, pictures of your favorite Teachers, and music in the background. You then have the majestic and beautiful words of the invocation added to the whole. The sum of all these different things add up to a beautiful and majestic work of creation. Thus, you find many apprentices who are of the Seventh Force involved in rites. They obtain to great magickal heights through the instrument of the rite, whether they are the participant or officiant. This is the Seventh Force of Beauty and Action of the Night Spirit and its Teachers and apprentices. You have now examined the Seven Forces of Life and the Keeper of each of those Forces. Let's look, for a moment, at a few of the Night Teachers not yet mentioned. Of the First Force we have Azazel, Leviathan, Santanas, and Amon. Of the Second Force we have Lucifuge Rofocale, Belial, and Azael. Of the Third Force we have Endor, Abraxas, and Balan. Of the Fourth Force we have Astaroth, Nisroch, and Bensozia. Of the Fifth Force we have Agares, John Dee, Bifrons, Belphegor, and Alocer. Of the Sixth Force we have Moloch, Astartes, and Marie Laveau. Of the Seventh Force we have Aleister Crowley, Armida, Cagliostro, Baphomet, and Eliphas Levi. This is only a sampling of the many Night Teachers of the Seven Night Forces. If any of these names happen to appeal to you in that special inner way then perhaps they are your Teacher. Or you may have one who is not listed here. Then through meditation, Astral or Mental Projection, or in some other manner you will come to know your Night Teacher. I assure you that when the time is right you will become an apprentice of a Night Teacher. Remember, to always study and work with the Night Teachers. You must always include them in the ways and activities of your life. You are a member of the Night Guild, when you have entered upon the Night Road and aid the Night Teachers in the magickal evolution of life on Earth. To aid the Night Teachers you must learn to use the Night Powers. 44. Night Powers Inherent within you lie the dormant Powers of the Oversoul and Creation. You can actualize these Powers when you have realized the Oversoul within you. I intend to discuss some of the Powers of the Oversoul that are at your disposal. Some of the Powers that you will discover are levitation, vibrational change, invisibility, weather control, and the list goes on. Some of these Powers may already seem incredible to you, but really they are just the outpouring of the Oversoul's Power through you, when you live in Its Consciousness and by Its Will. All the things that you have been studying and practicing have been preparing you for this day when you would put these Powers and Knowledge into use. When you use these Powers, you must always use them under the Direction of your Oversoul. If you are ready to use these Powers of the Oversoul then let's begin with the first Power of Unlimited Thought Control. This may not sound like a specific Power but, indeed, it is. This is a very special concept of awareness that will unleash for you Powers untold. It is virtually the key to the Universe of Life. If you will stop reading for a moment, and look around the room, do you note anything out of the ordinary? For most the answer would be No. Yet, under the special awareness you are going to acquire the room around you is a very special place as is all creation. The room is the way it is because your thoughts keep it just the way you have always pictured it. You have become very conditioned in life to see material things as concrete and solid. The chair is a chair and nothing will change that, you think! But let's stop again and see what really a chair is. The chair is an aggregate or collection of molecules which are very dense and specifically arranged to form the chair. The chair has wood, cloth, and metal molecules that make up its physical structure. Suppose now, that a very hot fire came along and destroyed the chair, what has really happened to the chair? Well, the fire so accelerated the molecules and released the energy that binds all the molecules together, that it has transformed some of the molecules to ash and the others have been set free into the atmosphere. They are now particles, so widely scattered, that they can no longer be seen in the form of a chair. Is there anything else that could do this to the chair? Yes indeed, your very thoughts could do the same to the molecules of the chair. This is that very special state of awareness that I was discussing earlier. Your thoughts help chain the molecules together to form what you think of as a chair. You see, feel, and know that this is a chair and that is all it is. But if you use your Oversoul Awareness and Thought, you can release the energy that binds the molecules of the chair into its physical form, and then it will no longer be a chair. You, then, can release the molecules back into the atmosphere, remold the molecules into some other form, or rebind them into its original form. There is a much greater use of the First Power. You could use this Power on your own physical structure. Any ideas on what would happen? Remember, that your physical body is just a repository for your emotions and consciousness. You are not the body, but Pure Oversoul Awareness and Thought. If you release the thoughts that bind the physical body into its material form, then it would become formless. Yet your consciousness has complete control of all the physical molecules. You would be aware of your body as a million pinpoints of light. If you desire to go anywhere, at anytime, all you have to do is think of that time and place and you would be there. To regain your material form, all you have to do is release the thought that unleashed the binding power of the molecules. This is perhaps the most important concept you will ever learn. It is the essence of many of the other Powers that you will learn. The concept, therefore, bears repeating. It is your thoughts that literally bind you to limitation and the material world. If you unleash the thoughts that bind your physical structure, or anything in your world, you become formless and free of any physical restrictions. Through this Power, you will have total control over your physical form or any material thing. If you unleash the material thoughts that bind you to anything, and replace it with the Oversoul Thought, then you become unlimited and free. The Second Power is like the first, and it is Vibrational Control over all that is. Imagine for a moment that you have been caught in a building that is on fire and you cannot get out, what are you going to do? You are going to use the Second Power of Vibrational Control and walk through the fire unharmed. That's right! You are going to walk right through the fire, and it will never hurt you. It really is not so incredible as it may seem. The fire has a high vibrational rate and energy. The molecules around you are in a very high state of agitation and are combining with oxygen, giving off heat, flame, and light. If you can raise the vibrational rate of your physical body to a very high rate, higher then that of the fire, through the Oversoul Awareness and Thought, then you will go unharmed by the fire. You can do this not only for your physical body but for anything you desire to change the vibrational rate of. Further, you not only can raise the vibrational rate but you can also lower the rate of vibration in all things. This leads you into the Third Power of Invisibility. The first thing that comes to your mind, when you think of invisibility, is the legends of the invisible man. It is true, though, that you can become invisible. Not only can you become invisible, but you can create invisibility in anything. There are two ways of doing this, and the first uses the power just discussed of vibrational control. If you raise the vibrational rate of the entity high enough, the molecules will vibrate at such an extremely high rate that light will simply pass through them and, so, you have invisibility. It is only when light can fall on a sufficiently dense article, and be reflected off of it, that it can be seen. This is the first type of invisibility. The second revolves around the absence of thought. The second type will allow you to remain physically solid, yet invisible to others. When you emit thought from your mind, you have learned that this is an energy which all are sensitive to. It is your thoughts that make you visible to others. So to achieve invisibility, you must erect a shield that completely encloses you and that will not permit any thought energy to escape. You do this by visualizing the Oversoul Energy completely surrounding and inclosing you. You then project, into this Oversoul Energy Screen, with Oversoul Thought, the Power that all your thoughts will remain enclosed within this capsule, and so you will be invisible. For a moment, let's change pace and look at something that may be causing many of you some trouble, and that is what I mean by the Oversoul Awareness, Thought, Energy, and other terms used in relation to the Oversoul. If you are to put this topic to successful use in your life, then you must understand something very basic to Night Magick. You are the Oversoul! If you can't understand this very simple concept, then you should go back and read topics six and seven. For it is only when you truly know that you are the Oversoul in Power, Energy, and Consciousness, that you will accomplish anything in this current topic. When I speak of Oversoul Awareness, you know yourself as the Oversoul in Consciousness and Power. You know, that you have the full use of Its Consciousness and Power for it is your consciousness and power. There is no difference, or separation, between yourself and the Oversoul. You are One in All Things. Study, learn, and know this to the Inner Depths of Your Being and you have mastered all. Let's resume, now, with the Fourth Power of Multiple Being. The concept of this may seem difficult, but study and try to follow along. When I speak of multiple being, I speak of having your physical presence in more then one place, at the same time. The key word, here, is physical. You can do this in several ways. To begin with, you can separate your Astral Body, from your physical form, and retain consciousness in both. Then, you can lower the vibrational rate of the Astral Body till it can be seen and touched. To be in even more places, you can build a copy of your physical form, out of the Oversoul Energy, and again condense and lower the Energy Form until it can be seen and felt. Then, you will place your consciousness in control of it, and use it as you would use your own physical body. There is no limit to the number of the Oversoul Energy forms you can make. You must keep control over each form and sustain it with your Oversoul Energy and Consciousness. Either you maintain complete Oversoul Control and Consciousness over each form, or they will return to the Eternal Darkness. The Fifth Power is that of Levitation. You know the physical law on Earth that "opposites attract". You have also seen the experiment whereby you take two magnets and place the like ends, that is either both North or South ends of the magnets, facing each other, they will repel each other. The Earth has a certain polarity, and you have a certain polarity, which keep you both together. If you can reverse your polarity such that it is the same as the Earth, then you will be repelled by the Earth and so, levitate above it. To accomplish this requires a combination of Night Breathing and the drawing upon, and application of the Earth's Energy around and through your body. There is an easier way of doing levitation. If you use the Power of Vibrational Control and slowly raise the vibrational rate of the molecules of your body, the body will become like the sky. The body will become very light and float above the Earth. You can direct your movement and height by Oversoul Thought. Remember though, that the body is still subject to lack of oxygen and the cold of extreme heights. This is Levitation. The Sixth Power is that of Weather Control. In order to understand how to control the weather, you must understand the Powers behind the weather. These Powers have been known by some as Nature Souls, Elves, Fairies, or Elementals. They are in almost all legends of every country in the world. They are behind everything that is in Mother Earth's Realm. There are Nature Souls of the Earth, ranging from small ones over the flowers and plants to those Great and powerful ones over the mountains. There are Nature Souls over the waters, again ranging from the small ones of brooks to the great Kings and Queens of the Oceans. There are those who are responsible over the Magickal Energies of the Earth and the elements of fire. The ones who are responsible for your weather can be found in charge of the air. There are elementals who guide the rains. The great ones are responsible for the great winds and their directions. It is they, in combination with each other, that create the various weather patterns. If you are going to control the weather, then you must solicit the help of the air Nature Souls. The secret to gaining the aid of the Air Spirits and all Spirits is to know that they obey the Oversoul. Thus, when you ask for a specific weather condition, you must do so as the Oversoul on Earth. Remember, that you are responsible for whatever you ask for. If you ask for sunny and bright days, then that is what you will get, but if rain was originally planned, then you must remember to set aside a period for this to occur, too. If you want a day or two of good weather then fine, but then you should turn over the controls of the weather back to Mother Earth and the Air Spirits, or you will cause grave harm that you will be responsible for. The Seventh Power is that of Knowing the essence of all things with or without form. This is a very important Power, or concept, that will unfold for you many Powers that lie within your Oversoul Being. The first essential key to achieving this Power is the mastery of meditation. In meditation, you began learning to concentrate on a particular subject and its true essence. You tried to come to know a particular subject as best as you could. You wanted to learn its very nature and feel that nature within you. Now you are going to take this concept or Power to its Nth degree. For example, you are going to examine a tree. You will begin by meditating on the tree. You will study its outer form and the way it moves and behaves, but then you are going to go much farther. You are going to go on and feel what it is to be a tree. You are going to come to know, and feel yourself as a tree. You will feel the wind blowing through your limbs and leaves. To feel the warm sun as it shines upon you and gives you new life. To feel the Earth below you and your roots sunk deep into it, pulling up water and nourishment to help you grow. To go back into your memories and remember what it was like to be a seedling, and the first feel of the sun and rain upon your newly risen face. You are going to become the Tree in all its eternal essence of life. There will be nothing that you will not know about the Tree. You will come to know its beginning and ending. You will come to know, and be, the sum of the Tree. You will go on and develop this Power not only for animate things, but inanimate objects. Then, you will also develop it for things without form, such as the sky and energy. If you achieve all of this, then you are ready to attempt the Eighth Power of Great Personal Strength. Here, you are going to activate the Seventh Power on the great beings of strength. This would include the elephant, whale, and bear. You are going to become all that they are, but you will specifically come to know them for their great personal strength. Then, you are going to absorb that physical power within your own being. If you have done this correctly and completely, you will have the physical power of these animals as long as you remain under the Seventh Power. This also gives you the Ninth Power of Great Personal Speed. If you will use the seventh Power on the deer, elk, and gazelle, you will again become all they are in personal speed. You will be able to move across land with their terrific speed. There are so many things that you can use the Seventh Power for, that will bring to you added knowledge and wisdom. If you study, intensely, the World of Form and its relation in Time and Space, you will find that you can move along its line of history, either forward or backward. You know that time is only a relative thing. You have experienced, in Astral and Mental Projection, that what seemed only a few moments in those realms actually was hours here on Earth. If you truly come to know Creation, Time, and Space as the Oversoul sees them, then you will be able to know both the past and future. You must become their essence. If you study the essence of another person, and become all that s/he is in essence, then you will know all there is to know of her/him. The very essence of any person is found in the Oversoul. If you study the Essence of your own Oversoul, it would be the same as studying the person in question. For in your own Oversoul, is the Oversoul of the person, and within the Oversoul of the person is locked all that s/he was, is, and ever will be. If you study your own Eternal Essence, you will come to know many things. Your Eternal Essence can reveal to you your past lives. It can unfold for you why you came down here. By studying why you came here, and the things that you must clear up, you can come to know the time of your own passing from this Earth. By studying the Eternal Essence of your Oversoul, with the application of the Seventh Power, there is nothing that you will not know. All the Powers of the Oversoul will become yours, when you have become the total essence of that which you study, the Eternal Essence. There will be no other Powers to search for, since you will have become the Power Itself. Yet there will always be the unveiling and unfolding of the Powers of the Oversoul within you as you climb towards the Eternal Night. In addition to learning and using the Night Powers you must also learn to use the Night Flames. 45. Night Flames And the Night Flames blazed before the Living Throne of the Eternal Darkness, who are a part of Its Living Night Spirit, and by Its Will the Flames went forth into formless matter and there was Creation. These are the Night Flames that you are about to study and use. As the Night Flames are a part of the Eternal Night, so they are a part of your Oversoul. As with the Night Powers, when you live in the Consciousness and Will of your Oversoul, so you too may use and create with the Night Flames. You are going to study the general nature and use of the Night Flames, and then examine each Night Flame individually. Finally, I will discuss how you can invoke the Night Flames and use them in your world. If you are ready, let's begin your general instruction of the Night Flames. The Night Flames you will be studying are the Black, Violet, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Silver, and Rainbow Flames. You may have noticed right away that the majority of the Night Flames are named after a type of color. If you will review some information about colors, for a moment, you will see the difference. You will remember that light is a type of energy. Colors were a product of light. The energy of colors was of a passive nature, and was effective by inducing a sympathetic reaction on what they were used. Night Flames have their origin in the Eternal Darkness. You will find that the use of the Night Flames is a very active process. The Night Flames are very active energies, which cause a change to take place according to the nature of the Night Flame. The Night Flames are effective in changing people and the world. There are many other uses for the Night Flames, and their discussion will be reserved to the study of each individual Night Flame. Each Night Flame has its particular properties and uses. Therefore, let's begin by studying the first Night Flame, the Black Flame. The Black Flame of the Oversoul brings into the world the Purity and Perfection of the Night. If you wish to create the conditions of purity and perfection in a person or world condition, you can do so with this Flame. For example, if you find that there is a state of imperfection existing in something or someone, that needs help in being erased, this would be the Flame to use. If you find a Yang condition or person using the Yang energy then this Flame will change the balance to the Night. By using this Flame you can maintain the Eternal Night Balance. This is the Black Flame. The second is the Violet Flame of Transmutation. The Violet Flame is the Flame of Transmutation or Change. The Violet Flame transmutes Yang energy back into Pure Night Energy. If you look at yourself, for example, what kind of person is it you see at the end of the day? You find a person who has been saturated in the Yang energy of the world. People and conditions have constantly, throughout the day, been filling your world with harmful energy. You feel irritable, nervous, angry, run-down, and a host of other Yang conditions. The Violet Flame can change all this. You can apply this energy to your own world, or to those of others, and completely transmute the Yang energy into Yin. You will restore your Night Self and feel a true sense of buoyancy and upliftment. By using this Violet Flame, on yourself, you will be able to have a greater flow of the Oversoul Energy through you. You will have eliminated the energy which blocks the natural flow of the Oversoul Energy into your world. It is good to use this Violet Flame first, before using any of the other Night Flames. Use this Flame, always in conjunction with the Night Pillar. This is the Violet Flame. The next Night Flame is the Blue Flame. The Blue Flame creates harmony and peace in all people and conditions. If there is any lack of harmony or peace, either in a person or condition, then you can use the Blue Flame to change all that. You could use the Blue Flame on unhappy marriages. You could use it on unhappy business partners or between unhappy firms. The uses are only limited by the extent of your imagination. Remember though, that the use of the Blue Flame may not be the only Flame needed in a situation to bring about lasting change. One or more Flames, used in conjunction with each other, may be necessary to cure all the problems and create a final and lasting change. This is the Blue Flame. The fourth Night Flame is the Green Flame. The Green Flame is the Flame of Healing. You will use it extensively in the Healing Topic that soon follows. It is the way of the Oversoul Healing. It brings about the healing of all people and conditions. The healing of people is easy for you to understand, but what is the healing of conditions? There are many conditions which need the healing power of the Green Flame. The Green Flame can heal the broken heart. It doesn't matter whether its broken through the loss of a love one through transition into the next world, or an unhappy love affair. The Green Flame can heal the pain or sorrow of a nation over some unhappy event. The Green Flame not only mends the body but also the heart. This is the Green Flame of Healing. The fifth is the Yellow Flame of Wisdom and Intelligence. The Yellow Flame of Wisdom and Intelligence is a very powerful energy. It can bring to you the Wisdom necessary to see through a decision that has to be made. The application of the Yellow Flame can raise your Magickal Consciousness to the highest of heights so that you may perceive Magickal Knowledge. A person cannot lie under the Power of the Yellow Flame. The Yellow Flame can increase the power of your intellect and improve your memory. This is the Yellow Flame. The sixth Night Flame that you will study is the Orange Flame. The Orange Flame produces energy into the substance it is used on. If you need an energy pickup this is a good Flame. If a situation is moving slowly in your life then use the Orange Flame. The Orange Flame is heavy with Yang energy so be careful and not get burnt by using it. The seventh Night Flame is the Red Flame. The Red Flame is an intense form of the Orange Flame. You will have to be careful in its use for it can cause extreme nervousness and irritability if used too much. The Red Flame can remove depressing situations or emotions. The Red Flame can speed up the process of healing in the human body. The eighth Night Flame is the Silver Flame. The Silver Flame will purify the subconscious world. It will keep the subconscious in the Yin Flow. The Silver Flame is good for counteracting too much Yang Energy. The Silver Flame is good for healing sunburn or if your ever burnt by Yang Energy. The ninth and final Night Flame is the Rainbow Flame. The Rainbow Flame does not really exist in Creation of its own. It is a composite of all the Flames together. The Rainbow Flame is created by you acting as the Oversoul on Earth. It is through your Power and Will as the Oversoul on Earth, acting as the Creator, that you bring the Rainbow Flame into the world. The use of this Flame should be obvious. The Flame is something of a Universal Cure-all. If you are in doubt about which Flame to use, or the situation seems to require a majority of all the Flames together, the Rainbow Flame is the answer. It will require your all to hold all the Flames together in order that they act as the Rainbow Flame. It will require the Night Magician, in Night Consciousness, to create, hold, and use the Rainbow Flame on Earth. You must remember then, that because this Flame does not exist of its own, that it may have less power then the other Night Flames depending on you. This is all the Night Flames that I will present in this topic. There are more but their use in the world is restricted. I have discussed the Night Flames in general, and individually, now it is time to teach you how to invoke and wield them. Before you ever use the Night Flames, you should give very careful consideration as to exactly what is the right type of Night Flame necessary to do the job. The Night Flames must be invoked through the Presence of the Oversoul. The Oversoul is the channel through which the Night Flames pass. Therefore, you must be in the highest state of Night Consciousness possible in order to invoke these Flames into the material world. You should be prepared bodily, emotionally, and mentally as you would for anything you do in Night Magick. You must be prepared magickally, by reaching the greatest state of Oneness with your Oversoul. The quality and quantity of the individual Night Flame you wish to invoke into this world, is based directly on your self-preparation. As you are able to reach farther and higher into Night Consciousness, so will the quantity and strength of the Night Flame increase. You must invoke and use the Night Flames often, if they are to achieve the desired results. Now, let's get down to the specifics on how to invoke the Night Flames. I will use the invoking of the Black Flame as an example. The invoking of the other Night Flames is similar, and requires the same basic procedures as outlined here. To begin with, you need to be in the highest state of Night Consciousness possible. Thus, you will begin with a period of meditation on your Oversoul. When you are ready, redirect the focus of your meditation from your Oversoul to the Black Flame. When you feel the highest of heights, in Night Consciousness, and have come to know the Black Flame of Purity and Perfection of the Oversoul, then you are ready to begin the invocation or invoking of the Flame. You should have already prepared your Magician's Study and your Night Altar. Standing before the Night Altar, you begin by seeing yourself as the Oversoul on Earth and robed in blazing Yin Energy. You invoke the Great Black Flame by saying: "By the Presence of the Oversoul within me I am invoking the Great Black Flame of the Oversoul's Purity and Perfection through me. I AM seeing this Black Flame descending from above and filling my being with Its Essence and Power. I AM then placing it here before me on the Altar of the Night, there to collect and concentrate into a blazing Night Black Flame. Now, oh blazing Night Black Flame, I AM commanding thee by the Power of the Presence of the Oversoul in me, to obey my Will as the Oversoul on Earth." This is your invocation through which you invoke or draw into your world the Black Flame. Invocations for the other Night Flames are found in Appendix A. Thus, you should have envisioned the blazing Black Flame, descending out of the Oversoul and into your mortal form. Then, you should have directed the Black Flame through your heart Night Center and out onto the Night Altar. There, you collect and intensify Its Presence into a blazing Black Flame Star. Once you have the sufficient amount of Black Flame to do the task at hand (you'll know how much by Oversoul Direction), you then must visualize the task to be accomplished. You then direct the Black Flame with your Oversoul Will to where you want the action of it to take place. Then, you will go on to visualize the Black Flame Action taking place and see and know that it has happened. Then you give thanks to your Oversoul. This is the way you invoke the Black Flame and all other Night Flames. I hope you are not ready to stop here in the unfoldment of your Oversoul Powers, Flames, and Causal Body. Your next subject is directed at the unfoldment of all these, into Night Consciousness. 46. Night Rites The Night Rites are defined as any exercises or practices which ultimately gain the freedom of the Soul from imperfection and the cycle of death and rebirth into the material world. They are exercises in becoming the Yin Light of the Night Spirit. They are practices that will eventually lead you into Magickal Perfection. There are four Night Rites that will be introduced here. They are, in order of discussion, the Dark Sun Meditation, the Inner Cavern of the Dark Sun, the Night Energy Beam, and the Magician's Night Body. I will begin this discussion with the Dark Sun Meditation if you are ready. In the Dark Sun Meditation, you will review who the Great Being is in the Dark Sun; what It represents; and Its path. Then, you will learn the benefits of the Dark Sun Meditation; how to perform the Dark Sun Meditation; and becoming One with the Blazing Dark Sun. Where is the Dark Sun? The actual physical body of the Dark Sun Goddess/God is the dark sun system itself with all its planets, moons, dark sun, and solar sun. As the human body has a solar plexus so does the dark sun system. This is the solar sun. The physical dark sun is located adjacent to the solar sun and is akin to the human heart Night Center. As said before, part of the function of the dark sun is to channel off excess solar energies from the solar sun. The dark sun Night Center is the heart of the dark sun system and is the focus of the Great Night Entity who is the Living Night Force of the dark sun system. The planets, moons, solar sun, and dark sun are the Night Centers of the physical body of the Dark Sun Goddess/God. Who is the Dark Sun Goddess/God ? It is difficult to imagine an Entity who is so far ahead of you in magickal evolution, as is the Dark Sun Spirit. Even though I have already discussed the Dark Sun Goddess/God and Its Magickal Nature, let's take the time to review again Its Eternal Nature. It will be important to do so in relation to the Dark Sun Meditation and Night Rites. The Dark Sun Goddess/God is on an even higher magickal plateau then the Planetary Night Spirits. You can look on the physical dark sun, in relation to the Dark Sun Goddess/God, as similar to yourself and your own heart Night Center. The Dark Sun Goddess/God is Omnipresent, Omniscient, and Omnipotent. Its Radiation effects you and all humankind. You are Its grandchild and a part of your Spirit is shaped by Its Living Presence. It is indeed very difficult to understand a Living Entity who is multidimensional. Its Night Spirit is very much like the physical dark sun itself. The dark sun pours out life-giving yin light, warmth, and energy to all that lives and grows on the surrounding planets. Its Night Spirit pours out to life: Energy, Warmth, and Night Force. It is the Goddess/God of the dark sun system. It watches over you and sustains the Magickal Light that guides you. Yet, It, too, is advancing on the Magickal Path that leads to the Eternal Night. The only thing is that It is far, far ahead on the very same path that you have just begun to tread. It shows you that you, too, can become all that It is if you but try. You are going to find that meditating on Its Presence, centered in the dark sun, is going to bring you great help magickally and physically. The power of the dark sun has a truly transforming effect over your physical body. As you practice the Dark Sun Meditation, the power of the dark sun coursing through your body will transform every cell in it. You will find every cell in your body becoming renewed through the Night Energy of the dark sun. The power of the dark sun will transform every cell into a miniature dark sun. The power of the dark sun will bring great Healing Energies into your body. The dark sun will transform every diseased part of your body back into perfect health. Whether you suffer from cancer, or a cold, the power of the dark sun will overcome their effect. The dark sun will bring a truly energizing effect over the body. If you are low on energy, you will not be after the Dark Sun Meditation. These are just the physical effects of the Dark Sun, there are still the magickal effects to consider. You will find that the Power of the Dark Sun Goddess/God will transport you into the highest of consciousness. You will be able to draw the Power of the Dark Sun Goddess/God into your magickal vehicles and fill them with supercharged Night Energy. The effect upon your more magickal vehicles will be truly amazing. On the Astral, Mental, and Causal Realms, your vehicles will glow with a Yin Light only seen in the Magickal Dark Sun of the Universe. Each vehicle will become a better channel through which the Power of the Night Spirit can flow freely. You become transformed into the Dark Crystal Channel of Yin Light. The constant use of the Dark Sun Meditation will bring truly amazing growth in your magickal vehicles. They will become like the Dark Sun Goddess/God themselves. Now that you see the valuable reasons for doing the Dark Sun Meditation, let's learn how to do it. Actually, the technique is very easy. You can practice this rite at any time and any place. If you do it outdoors then you should do it in the shade. You will also be able to do this rite at night. This is because the physical energies of the dark sun can penetrate through all things. You will prepare yourself as always by surrounding yourself in the Night Pillar. You should be seated on the ground in whatever manner is most comfortable to you. You should have your legs crossed and your hands open on your legs with palms down during the day and palms up during the night. Then, you begin the actual part of the Dark Sun Meditation. With your eyes closed, direct your Night Eye so that it is facing up into the Dark Sun. Then you must become very relaxed and allow your thoughts to drift. Now draw into yourself the Power of the Dark Sun. This Power will come to you as a dark ray of intense Night Force filled with Life, Warmth, and Energy. Feel and move this Power down through your body slowly. First, consciously move it into the head and see its effect there. Then move it on into the upper chest and arms. Continue to go on through the body slowly, allowing the total effect of the Power to take place in each part of the body. Then just relax and bathe in the glow of the Power of the Dark Sun. Next, you will move on to the magickal vehicles. Here, you are going to project yourself consciously towards the dark sun. This is the same technique you used in Mental Projection. You are going to go to the dark sun itself in your magickal vehicles. As you approach the dark sun, you are going to feel the full effects of its Magickal Power. You are going to keep moving towards the dark sun until you have merged with its Presence. You are going to become a part of the Dark Sun in Night Spirit. Here again, you are going to draw the Power through your magickal vehicles. Feel the Power blazing and coursing through your magickal bodies changing them into miniature Dark Suns.. You should then relax your magickal presence in the Magickal Presence of the Dark Sun. This is where your real Dark Sun Meditation begins. You are going to become One with the Blazing Dark Sun. You are going to meditate on Its Magickal Presence. The Dark Sun is like your heart Night Center. You will remember that in your own heart Night center is located the miniature Oversoul. It is here you can meet the very Presence of your own Oversoul. It is your Oversoul's magickal anchor in your own world. In the Heart of the dark sun, you can meet the very Presence of the Dark Sun Spirit. Here is the focus of Its Oversoul Consciousness. You can do this only when you have risen to the highest of consciousness. You must know yourself as the Oversoul. It is in the Heart of the Dark Sun, that you can meet the Night Spirit of the Dark System. You must meditate on Its Presence and become all that it is. If you can do this, then you will become One with Its Living Night Spirit and become the Blazing Dark Sun. Then, you must end this meditation. You do so by slowly withdrawing your magickal consciousness back into your physical body. Do this be concentrating on your breathing. Then you will slowly start to move your fingers and toes. Continue to slowly move all parts of the body until you feel that you are physically whole again. Remember, in closing, to thank the Dark Sun Goddess/God Its Power and Presence in your life. This is the Dark Sun Meditation. The next rite covers something I began to discuss in the last rite. This is the aspect of the miniature Oversoul in the heart Night Center, or the Inner Cavern of the Dark Sun. You are going to come to know, very well, the fourth Night Center and the Oversoul within it. You are going to build the Inner Cavern of the Dark Sun within the heart Night Center, and learn to enter within it and thereby come into rapport with the Oversoul. Through this, you will learn the power revealed to you in the fourth Night Center. Let's begin with the fourth Night Center and the Dark Sun Spirit found within it. You will recall from our previous discussion of the fourth Night Center, that as it starts to unfold in you, you become aware of the feelings and emotions in others. You develop genuine magickal empathy with those around you. To those you are really close with, this empathy will extend across vast distances. Distance will make absolutely no difference in the power of your fourth Night Center. I have said before that the heart is the center of your Magickal Being. It is the site of your magickal anchor. I mean, by this, that the silver cord that proceeds out of the heart of your Oversoul is anchored in your heart Night Center. This silver cord is also tied into the sixth Night center, or your Night Eye. In the heart Night Center, at the end of the silver cord, is what you would liken to a miniature dark sun. It is from this miniature dark sun that the energy comes to sustain your physical life. It is this miniature dark sun which is the primary focus of your Oversoul in the material worlds. This miniature dark sun exists on the physical, Astral, Mental, and Causal Realms. Your Oversoul is tied in to all these planes of life and is aware of all that takes place within you on these levels. In the beginning of your progress on Earth, the Oversoul is not very concerned with your lives. This is because you are shut off from Its Presence and Will. Therefore, the power of this miniature dark sun is very small. The Oversoul will invest very little power and energy into someone who is unconcerned with doing Its Will. But as you begin to listen to the Inner Voice within, and obey Its Will, then the power of the miniature dark sun begins to expand and increase in intensity and brilliance till the dark sun is no longer miniature, but fills the entire being of the Night Magician. Then you become One in the Dark Sun or Night Consciousness. As you entered into the heart of the dark sun and meditated upon the Presence of the Dark Sun Goddess/God so you can enter into the miniature dark sun and enter into rapport and communion with the Oversoul. To come into rapport with the Inner Oversoul, you are going to visualize and build within your heart Night Center, the Inner Cavern of the Dark Sun. You will, as always, enter into your Magician's Study and place yourself in whatever way is a comfortable position. Then, you will place the Night Pillar around you, and relax as much as possible. Next you are going to visualize the place that you would think is appropriate to meet your Oversoul in. You begin by turning your consciousness inward and directing it towards the heart Night Center. You will visualize yourself descending within your Inner Being and finally coming to rest in the heart Night Center. Then envision entering a beautiful cavern. This cavern should be seen so real that you can even smell it. This place should be envisioned with all of your magickal talents. It is a very real place and should be looked upon as such. Once you have the Inner Cavern created, you are ready to enter into the Cavern. As you enter into the Cavern, you see before you a great Night Altar. The Night Altar is made of the purest black marble. There upon the Night Altar is a great blazing Dark Sun of the Yin Light. The brilliance of the Dark Sun is magnificent. From the Dark Sun, you can feel warmth and energy being beamed at you. You feel a power pulling you closer to the Dark Sun. As you approach closer to the Dark Sun, you begin to see the Image of a Great Being standing within the center of the Dark Sun. As you gaze upon Its Face, you see your face, only it is a face set in power and energy. You can feel the power and glory radiating from the Presence of the Oversoul within the Blazing Dark Sun. Then you will find yourself sitting before the Presence of your Oversoul and receiving instruction from It. You will find yourself bathing in the Power and Energy that is radiating from Its Dark Presence. You will feel knowledge and instruction filling your entire presence. Then, you will know when the time has come to leave the Inner Cavern and return to the outer world. So retrace your steps out of the Inner Cavern of the Dark Sun and find yourself floating back out into the world. You will again, come out of this Night Rite the same as you did the Dark Sun Meditation. Once you have experienced this Night Rite, you will know the Power located within your Inner Being. You will find, through this rite, that whenever you have a question, that you can take it into the Dark Heart of the Oversoul. You can go into the center of the Inner Dark Sun and gain Wisdom and Energy. You can go into the Inner Cavern and find Healing, Understanding, Peace, and Happiness. You need never feel, or be alone in the Presence of the Oversoul. It is here that you will find the center of your life and intelligence. It is here that you will find the center of your Oversoul and the Night Powers. It is this very center of the Night Power that leads you to your next Night Rite, the Night Energy Beam. You are aware that the physical dark sun, that shines over the world, is a giver of warmth and Yin Light. You have also seen that no matter whether the Dark Sun is a physical or magickal one under discussion, that it gives off immense amounts of Radiation, Yin Light, and Power. You have also found out, that there is a Magickal Dark Sun blazing within the Inner Depths of your Being. The Power and Light that radiates off from your Magickal Dark Sun is very dispersed. The Yin Light radiates off at all angles. What if you could take this Power and Energy and reflect it into a narrow, concentrated beam of the Night Energy? Let's look at a modern day example, the laser. In the laser, we have turned a normal power and light source into a very concentrated beam of light energy. The laser light is many more times powerful then its origin. This is what you are going to do in this Night Rite. You are going to take the Power and Light that comes from your Inner Magickal Dark Sun, and concentrate it into a very powerful beam of Night Energy. This rite again calls for visualization. You should retire to your Magician's Study until you become adept in the use of the Night Energy. In your Magician's Study, you will find peace and quiet in which to work. As you become adept at its use, you will be able to put this rite into practice no matter where you are. You will begin by visualizing your heart Night Center running parallel with your body. That is, you should envision the Night Center as a large round disk, with a slight curvature in it, placed in front of you like a large shield. Then, you are going to envision, centered in front of the Night Center, the miniature dark sun. Once you have envisioned all of this, then you are ready to transmit the Night Energy. As you envision the Night Center, and the Dark Sun in front of it, the Energy begins to build-up. The Night Energy begins to become concentrated, magnified in intensity, and then, suddenly, will beam forth from your presence. What are you going to do with it? You are not only the emitter of the Night Energy, but you are also the director of it. Not only visualize the emission of this Night Energy, but you must also visualize its direction and use. The beam will go wherever you direct it. You do not have to be facing in the right direction for it to go where you want it. All you have to do is envision where it is going, with the Consciousness of Oversoul, and it will do so. Now, you must consider its uses. The beam itself is of Pure Night Energy. It is filled with the Oversoul's Energy and Power. The person or situation that it is aimed at, will be filled with the Energy and Power of Oversoul. If the situation or person is basically of the Night Spirit then the beam will not harm the person or situation in any way. It will bring only Energy, Healing, and Happiness to them. But if the person or situation is in a state of inharmony and discord, then the beam of Night Energy will change that. The beam will bring about what the emitter envisions happening. Nothing can resist or fight the Oversoul Energy. It will only magnify and increase in intensity till the change comes about. The beam can also be used as a carrier wave of your Oversoul Direction. Whatever you project, in Night Consciousness, into the beam, the beam will bring into manifestation. If someone is trying to hurt you with harmful energy, you can direct the beam at the harmful energy sent, and change it into Night Energy and return it to its source, even if you do not know who the source is. This is the Night Rite of the Night Energy Beam. So far, you have been in the Night Presence of the Dark Sun Goddess/God, you have been in the miniature Dark Sun, and have learned to direct the Energy of the Night. Now, you are going to become a Dark Sun. You are going to develop the Magician's Night Body and become a Dark Sun. The Magician's Night Body is, indeed, unique. You have meditated on the Presences of the Dark Sun Goddess/God and Personal Oversoul, and thus it should be well rooted in you, the feeling of being a Dark Sun. In developing the Magician's Night Body, begin by dwelling on the Eternal Presences of the Dark Sun Goddess/God and Oversoul. You must become filled with Their Energy and Substance. The Yin Light for your Magician's Night Body will come from your heart Night Center. See the Yin Light filling your entire being, that is, physical, emotional, mental, and magickal. The Light that you are going to become is exceedingly dark. Yet it is so intense that it glows. You have, thus, prepared yourself as to the Nature of a Dark Sun, the Yin Light of a Night, and the Shape of your Night Body. You are ready, then, to begin visualizing your Magician's Night Body. You will visualize your Night Body as an intense, pulsating, glowing Body of the Night. As your Body begins to take shape, you loose awareness of your human form. You are becoming the Dark Sun of the Night. You are beautiful, luminescent, and radiant. You are filled with a Radiance of the Night Spirit's Energy and Power. And so, filled with the very Essence of the Dark Sun, you repeat this invocation: "I am the Night Soul that glows in the darkness of the night. I am Night Energy and all those who gaze on me become the like. I am the Pure Essence of the Oversoul in the form of a Dark Sun. I am no longer feeling the material form. I am becoming transcendent and translucent and know myself as Pure Night Energy. I am not this physical form but a Body of Pure Night Energy. I am the Night Magician, Eternal in the Light of the Night Spirit. I AM the Night Magician within my Night Body." You have become a Dark Sun of the Night Spirit. You are Pure Energy. Your visualization has become much more. You are no longer just visualizing but have become the Dark Sun in Magickal Reality. You are the Night Magician physically, emotionally, mentally, and magickally. You are a Dark Sun that shines in the night of your world. These are the four Night Rites. They were exercises in the Dark Sun of the Night Spirit. They were Rites carried out under Night Consciousness. They are presented here to give you practice in becoming the Dark Sun of your life. If you use these Night Rites with dedication, perseverance, and practice them often, you will become the Dark Sun of the Night Spirit. In the next subject, you will combine your knowledge and use of the Night Powers, Flames, and Rites into Night Healing. 47. Night Healing Earlier I presented the subject of healing through the use of color energy. The type of healing I will present here is infinitely more potent. Night Healing involves the very Healing Power of the Night Spirit. Night Healing is simple to learn but difficult to practice. To practice Night Healing, you are going to have to reach Night Consciousness. Night Consciousness is the key to Night Healing. Before I go much further into Night Healing, let's discuss the subjects you will have to learn which make up Night Healing. In learning Night Healing, I am going to discuss the Seventh Night Power, Invocation, Meditation, the Night Body, Night Energy Beam, and the Green Flame. Therefore, since there are so many Magickal Tools that you will use in combination with each other, let's start from the beginning using Invocation, Meditation, and the Seventh Night Power. This may seem a review and in a way it is. You have already covered every subject just mentioned, but it is the way that you put them together that brings about Night Healing. You are going to recover each subject lightly, and as you do so, you will be putting them together to form Night Healing. You begin, as always, by entering your Magician's Study and darkening the room. Then either sit or lie down just so that whatever your choice is, you are as comfortable as possible. You will then relax as much as possible; put the Night Pillar around yourself; and practice Night Breathing for a few minutes. When you are ready, begin with Invocation. Your invocation, as always, must be directed towards your Oversoul. You are going to visualize your Oversoul at the other end of the silver cord. You are going to use the silver cord as you would use a telegraph line. You are going to first envision what it is that you are going to heal. Is it a person or animal? Is it something internally wrong or external? If it is something wrong and you're not quite sure what it is, that's alright. The Oversoul can heal what's wrong whether you know what's wrong or not. You are going to envision your very simple message traveling up the silver cord and being received by the Oversoul. As you send the message, not only should you envision it, but you should say it aloud. You will remember from the topic on the Power of Sound what saying your message aloud will do. You should say the invocation at least three times. You must keep the invocation simple and concise. A simple invocation might be as follows: "I am the Night Presence of the Oversoul. I call upon that Presence to pass through me and to (person's name or thing to be healed). The (person or thing) requires the Healing Power of the Night Oversoul to correct the (wrong or name the specific condition). As I am performing the act of Night Healing raise me into your Night Consciousness and let the healing be done. So be it." Through the power of this invocation you have already begun the Magick of Night Healing. You have begun your ascent into Night Consciousness. Next, you will enter into Meditation. Your meditation is going to be upon the Healing Oversoul. Let's picture the Healing Oversoul as you have always pictured the Oversoul, only you are going to add an Emerald Green Light around Its Presence. This Emerald Green Light surrounds the Oversoul as does the Yin Light. Feel and know the Healing Power of the Emerald Green Light wherein is contained the Green Flame of Night Healing. Go on and enter directly into the Presence of the Oversoul and become the Oversoul and Emerald Healing Power that surrounds It. Then you are going to take your meditation into the Seventh Night Power. You are going to do more then just meditate upon the Presence of the Oversoul. You are going to know yourself as the Healing Oversoul. Its Consciousness and yours are One. You are the Healing Oversoul and the Emerald Healing Power. You know, feel, and are the Oversoul. All that the Oversoul is, you are. Its very Nature is revealed before you. Its Power, Energy, and Healing Energy is yours to use for you are the Healing Oversoul. Thus, you have invoked the Seventh Night Power and have become the Emerald Crystal Tool of the Magickal Master. The Emerald Light of the Oversoul pours through your nature and transforms you into the Healing Oversoul. Now, you are ready to take on the Night Body. As you have entered into Night Consciousness, your very Essence has become radiant and luminescent with the Magickal Yin Light. You have become, again, the Dark Sun of the Oversoul. You are the Dark Goddess/God. You know yourself as the Pure Energy of the Night Spirit. You are no longer a physical being but have become etherial in nature. Again, you invoke the Hymn of the Night: "I am the Dark Sun that radiates Night Energy in the night. I am filled with Darkness and Energy and all those who gaze on me become the like. I am the Pure Essence of Oversoul in the form of the Dark Sun. I am no longer feeling the material form. I have become transcendent and translucent and know myself as Pure Night Energy. I am not this physical form but a Body of Pure Yin Light. I AM the Night Magician, Eternal in the Light of the Night Spirit. I AM the Night Magician." You have become the Oversoul. You are totally ready in Consciousness and Form to use the Healing Power of the Night. Thus, you turn to the use of the Night Energy Beam and the Green Night Flame. To activate and use the Night Energy Beam, you must turn within to the Heart of your Night Being. You are going to envision yourself as a great Silver Night Disk. In front of the Night Disk is the Blazing Sun of the Oversoul. The Night Force begins to concentrate, magnify, and intensify, until you release it in a narrow Beam of Night Energy. Again, you will remember that your Night Consciousness directs the Beam to the receiver. This is the person you are going to heal. Now is the time you are going to invoke the Green Night Flame. From out of the Oversoul comes the Green Flame. It is a Flame of Dazzling Emerald Green. It is the Power of the Night Spirit Healing. The Green Flame brings Healing to all people and all conditions, and thus you invoke: "By the Power of the Presence of the Oversoul within the Night Heart, I am invoking the Green Flame of the Oversoul Healing. I am seeing this Green Flame of the Oversoul Healing filling my Night Being. I AM seeing it before the Great Silver Night Disk becoming concentrated, magnified, and intensified until it glows as an Emerald Green Night." Thus, by the Oversoul Will, you release the Emerald Green Flame and direct it onto the Night Energy Beam. You are using the Beam as a carrier for the Green Flame of the Night Spirit Healing. There is a twin action taking place in the person being healed. There is the action of the Night Energy in the Beam and also the action of the Green Flame. These Twin Energies of the Oversoul will bring about the desired action of Magickal Healing. The action of the Oversoul Healing is instantaneous, if the Night Healing is carried out in Night Consciousness. This is Night Healing. You have put together the things that you have been learning and practicing into a very valuable technique for healing. If you have been studying and practicing with constancy and perseverance, then your success at Night Healing will be excellent. Night Healing is the Universal Cure for all ills. You will be able to apply a very similar technique, as used here, in obtaining physical Immortality. 48. Immortality: Transmigration and Transmutation Immortality has been a subject discussed many, many times over the ages. When I speak of Immortality there is generally two ways that it can be viewed. The first is the Immortality of the physical form. The physical body can be Eternal and live forever. This has perpetuated the myths of the Fountain of Youth and the Philosopher's Stone of the Ancient Alchemists. The second is the Immortality of the soul. That is, after physical death, the personality continues to live on forever in the Night Realm. It is the idea that "I who am I will always be I, now and forever". I am going to discuss both types. The emphasis will be on the Immortality of the physical body. That is, I consider it to be the most important. Let's begin the discussion with transmigration. Transmigration is the transference of the soul or personality from one physical body to another without the normal rest between lives associated with in reincarnation. The body, the soul transfers to, may be of a newly born infant or one of more advanced age. Transmigration is also the entry by a disembodied Night Teacher into a body of advance age. The age being determined by what is available and what is needed by the disembodied Night Teacher. This is not so far-out as it may seem. We have discussed many times that you are not the physical body, but the emotional, mental, and magickal nature of being. The physical body is only a house in which you reside. It is a special vehicle created especially for you to operate through here on Earth. As Shakespeare said, "All the world is a stage and you are but the actor on it." You are acting out a certain part while you are here and the physical body is nothing more then a costume in which to appear and act in. So, transmigration is simply changing from one costume and role, to another costume and role. It is simply entering a new house which is about to be vacated by its old occupant. The how's of transmigration are not so difficult to understand. I have spoke of the silver cord many times. It is your life line from your Oversoul to you. The silver cord is anchored into your physical heart. You know from Astral Projection that you can leave the body at night and travel in many other realms. The physical body continues to live only because the silver cord is still attached to it in the heart. In transmigration, you remove the silver cord from the old residence, which dies, and move it to the new residence where it is anchored into the new heart. At the very same time, the former occupant, who was resident in the body that is about to be newly inhabited, is removed and set free into the Astral Realm. This is a very delicate procedure. It may be easy to imagine, but it is difficult to perform. There are very special Astral Night Spirits who are especially trained to perform such a magickal operation. The procedure is basically the same for a disembodied Night Teacher wanting a physical body. There are very special considerations that have to be taken, before transmigration can take place. First of all, the person giving up the body that is about to be newly occupied, must voluntarily want to do so. It cannot be done against their will. There are many reasons why s/he may want to do so. The person may be very tired of living on Earth. Her/His life may have been a very difficult one and s/he feels there is very little left for her/him in life. This person may even be contemplating suicide. In another case, the person may have almost completed what s/he came into the world to accomplish and death may soon happen even though the body may be in good health. Therefore, before letting suicide occur in the first case, or natural death in the other, the individual is approached, while s/he is in the Astral, about going through transmigration. If s/he consents to the transfer then it can be done. This is not an easy way out for the possible suicide. It is her/his chance for doing something very worth while in life. There is another consideration that must be met; the basic frequencies must be the same or closely similar. Not everyone is a suitable candidate for transmigration. The person leaving, and the person entering, must be closely related in basic vibration. This does not mean that they must be of the same magickal level. Everyone has a basic frequency that is akin to the frequency of a musical note. It is a frequency that is set from the Nature of the Oversoul. If the frequencies of the two are very close, then the transfer can take place. There are many reasons why transmigration would be necessary. For example, if a person had worked all their life at a very special project that would do much towards the advancement of humankind, but s/he had not quite finished and the span of her/his body was about to expire, what would or could s/he do? By special arrangement through the Night Guild s/he could undergo transmigration. This could occur before the life span of the old body was finished or shortly after bodily death. The control of transmigration is in the hands of the World Directors. Suppose now, that the Night Guild needed to put one of its Emissaries in the world. They want her/him there now and functioning in her/his task. This is another use of transmigration. Now it is time to consider another form of Immortality. This is transmutation. The definition of transmutation is "to change". You are going to transmute or change the substance of your physical body into the Oversoul Body. To begin with, this process is threefold. It deals with the transmutation of your physical body and your emotional and mental attitudes. The discussion will deal with all three, and we'll start with the physical. The transmutation of the physical begins with proper diet. You must eat correctly. You must have the proper diet that provides you with the best of health. You must not overeat anything to excess. The best diet is one that eliminates all meat. You must have the proper amounts of exercise and rest. You must keep your body clean. The rule is to treat the body with respect and proper care. This is the beginning of the transmutation of the physical body and is followed by the transmutation of your emotions. You must feel young, alive, and vibrant. You must feel the eternalness of being young. You must feel the very Youth of the Oversoul flowing through you. It is essential that you manifest only thoughts of being alive in the Oversoul. If you feel young, you are young. If you feel alive and ready for any challenge by the world, then you will remain in perpetual youth forever. The only thing that causes you to grow old is the negative emotions that you allow to enter into your world. You grow old through worry, tension, and anger. If you keep your emotions centered in the Oversoul, then you shall become Immortal. Not only is feeling Immortal important, but thinking Immortal is of the utmost importance. Your thoughts must be centered in the Oversoul Mind. Not only do you feel alive and vibrant, but you know that you are. Your thoughts are not troubled by the concerns of the world, for those concerns shall find their own solutions. Your thoughts are centered on the Immortal Oversoul, and you know that you are the Immortal Oversoul. When you know that you are Immortal, and feel Immortal, then there is only one thing left to do, and that is to apply your Night Powers and Flames to your Immortality. The application for the use of the Night Powers and Flames is very similar to what you learned in Night Healing. You will begin with Invocation, in telling your Oversoul that you are going to use both the Green Flame of the Night Spirit Healing and the Night Flame to reach Immortality. Then, you will move into the next phase, that of meditation and the Seventh Night Power. You will use the same meditation on both the subjects of Healing and Immortality. You already have learned how to do it for Healing. You then will begin with meditation on Immortality. You shall dwell on the Immortal Oversoul within you. Then, you shall take this meditation into the Seventh Night Power. Thus, you shall do more then just meditate on Immortality, you shall come to know the very essence of Immortality. You shall absorb that essence of Immortality into your Inner Awareness and become Immortal. So first, the meditation on the Healing Oversoul, then the meditation on the Immortal Oversoul. You take both of these meditations into the Seventh Power and you are ready to continue, in Night Consciousness, with the Night Body. You will use the very same procedure in acquiring the Night Body as I have outlined in Night Healing. Since this is Self-healing and Immortality that you are learning, you will omit the use of the Night Energy Beam. You are going to retain the Energies of the Night Flames. Then, you will continue the procedure, by invoking the Emerald Green Flame as you did in the last topic. Once you have used the Green Flame sufficiently, as to feel cleansed of all imperfections and afflictions, then you are ready to invoke the Black Flame. The invocation for the Black Flame in this case is as follows: "I am the Presence of the Oversoul and I am invoking the powerful Black Night Flame to transmute the human body to an Eternal Oversoul Body. I behold the Night Flame entering within my three material forms and Purifying, Transmuting, and being made wholly into the Night Soul of Life. I am filled with the Transmuting Night Flame that is changing my material form into the Everlasting Form of the Oversoul. I am Eternal in the Oversoul; that which I am shall never experience physical death again; I AM Immortal as the Oversoul in the Oversoul Body. So be it." Then, you shall bathe in the Black Night Flame, until you have become Bodily Immortal in the Oversoul. This is transmutation. You are Immortal in Soul and can be in material form. Whether you are able to achieve the Immortality of your mortal form or not, you are forever Immortal in Soul and Night Spirit. You are very close to the end of Fire Magick. You have come a very long way on the road of Night Magick. Yet, in Magickal Reality, you have only begun to learn a small portion of the lore of Night Magick. You have only just begun the trek towards Home. Still, there must be an ending to your first studies in Night Magick, so I will close with the final topic on the past, present, and future of Night Magicians. 49. Night Magicians: Past, Present, and Future This is the concluding topic in the lore of Night Magick. You have gone through all the elements of Night Magick. You have covered Earth, Water, Air, and Fire and have learned the basics of each. Yet, in actuality, you have hardly scratched the surface. You have only just begun to learn Night Magick. There is still so much more to learn. There is no end to the body of knowledge that is Night Magick. You must always search for knowledge and wisdom wherever it may be, for this is Night Magick. No Night Magician ever stops learning or comes to know it all. You will always be unfolding the Night Powers that lie within you. For your final topic, as in the beginning, I would like to speak once more about Night Magicians. I would like to present the Night Magicians of the past, giving their origin, purpose, and names; of the present, again speaking of their origin and purpose; the future, taking a glimpse of what might be. To begin this presentation, I would like to discuss the Night Magicians of the Past. In the beginning of distant civilization the Dragon Tiamat taught humankind the knowledge and wisdom of Night Magick. Civilizations flourished under Night Magick and the Earth was a beautiful and wonderful place. Then came the invasion by the Yang and the destruction of the Yin civilizations. But even among the Yang gods and goddesses there were the Yin. Among the gods and goddesses were Set, Isis, Nuit, Loki, Pan, Cybele, Hecate, Kali, Bacchus, and others who were known to give the other gods and goddesses trouble. Among humankind the Night Religions and Night Magick continued. There are the worshippers and practitioners of the dark religions of the above listed gods and goddesses. There are also the ancient religions of the Druids and the North and South American Indians. There are the religions of Africa and other so-called dark continents. There is Voodoo. Many of these continue to remain in existence today. There are also individual practitioners of the past. There are Night Magicians such as Abra Melin, and Abraham the Jew, Cagliostro, Althotas, Comte de Sainte-Germain, Aleister Crowley, Baian, Jeanne Belloc, Dr. Lamb, Marie Le Normand, Henry Cornelius Agrippa, Paracelsus, Jacob Boehme, Eliphas Levi, Marie Laveau, Alexander Seton, and William Butler Yeats. There are also Night Magicians of the present, but I cannot name them here. This is still very much a Yang world with great hatred for those devoted to the world of Night Magick. So all I will say is that Night Magicians can be found in all walks of life. There are no barriers to those of the Night World. What all Night Magicians have in common is the preparation for the future. The future of humankind is bleak. With the pollution and rape of this world by humankind the Earth will soon rid itself of much of the cancer that is causing its death. There are many predictions about when this period of life is going to happen. Prophets have been forecasting this event and the time of its happening for ages. But determining the exact date of this happening is like trying to forecast the first snowfall of the winter. There are a great deal of things that determine when it will first snow, and so with this event. I can say that some of the signs of this happening have already begun to manifest. There has been an increasingly large number of natural disasters. There has and will continue to be a large number of shifts going on within the Earth. This will give earthquakes, volcanoes, and the rising and lowering of land. There will be terrible storms that will cause widespread destruction. There will be flooding, extremes of heat and cold, draughts and all kinds of out of the ordinary weather changes. There will be a great deal of panic and terror among the citizenry. The skies will have a very unusual glow to them and be of a reddish black hue. There will be great shifts in the land with some rising and others falling. Some of the land will be covered with water and other portions, currently under water, will rise up into the open air. Not only will the land be undergoing a major shift, but there will also be political and social upheaval. This is a time of the Earth's balancing the large amounts of karma that humankind has created. It is a time of correcting the harm that humankind has done to the body of the planet itself. This is not presented here to bring panic and fear into anyone's heart. It is presented in an explicit manner so you can do something about it. Futures don't have to be written in stone. They can be changed. You can help the future to change by practicing Night Magick. It is a way of preparing yourself for the changes about to take place. There is much you have learned in Night Magick that can help you prepare. You could use psychometry to find a safe place to be when the trouble begins. You can learn to give the Earth healing energy and give back to it vitality it has lost. You can stop any destructive practices which cause further harm to the Earth. You can be part of many voices trying to change the way the Earth is slowly being destroyed. You can use Night Magick to influence those who make decisions. The future is an odd thing. Sometimes you can look forward and feel what is ahead, but it is always based upon the probabilities, or possibilities that will open up before you. If you could stand high upon a mountain and look at your future, it would seem like there are many roads that lay before you and all the choices that determine which road you take are yours to choose. You would find that even from your lofty height, you could not see the end of the road you chose, or its outcome. But one road you have already chosen will insure a bright future. Of course this is the Night Road of a Night Magician. To travel the Night Road you must have a desire to learn and a willingness to experiment. You must be adventurous and love excitement and the unusual. You must be willing to be tested and trials will come your way. But the outcome of traveling the Night Road leads to victory in life. The Night Road leads to the Night Magician's Dream. A Night Magician's Dream Picture if you will a Land of Enchantment; a Land of Honor, Strength, and Energy. The Land of the Night Magicians. This is the Land in which your dreams evolve from within. Reality is seen through your Night Eye and felt through your Night Heart. You are as rich as your Soul is in the Eternal Night. You are as young as the Oversoul is within you. Search within your heart, within the Heart of Creativity, and become the Living Oversoul. The Night Magician is, knows, and becomes all. They exist within all things; such is the Night Consciousness of the Oversoul in them. They are free of self-limitations and control the world of form, and the things found in it. They are Pure in Night Spirit. They transcend all things: space, time, and the world around them. Believe as you will; what you are is all that is; what you will be is limited by yourself; this is your creed and your life as it is within you. No longer bound by the limitations of a Yang, past world, you are the Progress of a New Age, an Age of the Night World. You are the Foundation of Time and Space. You are the Strength of the Night Spirit. If only in the hearts of all, you were what you felt when you dream, then there could exist no wrong ideas. There is potential in thought and ideas, and it is for Humanity to bring them out of the Void. Only Humanity can be what they believe their selves to be. They cannot be what they don't believe is possible to be. Freedom begins in thought and when Manifest in Action can be Truth as the Night Spirit sees the Truth: focused on a Point in Time; balanced on the Edge of Infinity. Believe in yourself and your ability to succeed in all things. Only you control you; only you can find happiness; only you make the destiny that lies before you. You are a Channel for the Eternal Night; use this right, and bring forth into your world the Energy of the Night and make Humanity what They can be as the Night Spirit Wills. You are the strength of the Earth and only you can open the Doorway to your Success. Be what you Believe, and be what you can be, for no one can limit, another. You can only limit Yourself. The challenge of life is to know thyself; to know how one limits another, and how to be all you can be in life and Night Magick. The Night Magician is the Knower, the Doer, and is the Night Spirit within all things. There Responsibility lies with the Night Spirit and the Oversoul. They are the Heart of all things, bringing Humanity into harmony with Nature, and the world into harmony with the Night Spirit.

Invocation for the Night Magician's Pillar of Protection. I am a Night Magician surrounded in a Pillar of Night Energy that cannot be penetrated. It repels all energy that would harm me. It repels all thoughts and emotional energy of my enemies. Through the Power of my Oversoul, I am protected in a Pillar of Night Energy and cannot be harmed. May this Night Pillar remain around me at all times keeping me out of harms way. So be it. 2. Ritual Invocations Each ritual will begin by your stepping into the Night Circle and putting on your Night Weapons and Cape. After this place the Night Pillar around you. Do not leave the Circle until the end of the ritual and be sure and re-enforce the Night Pillar around and through you before leaving the Night Circle. Go through the actions of consecrating the Night Circle with earth, water, air, and fire each time. Fill the chalice, say the invocation, and drink the wine each time. Then always ring the bell and summon the Night Deities. These are the basic procedures you will begin each ritual which takes place within the Night Circle. Now pick up the bell and ring it six times in each major direction, that is North, South, East and West. Then repeat the following invocation, "I who am (give your Night Name) summon the Presence of all Deities in the Night Force to attend my ritual of Eternal Night. We now stand in the Eternal Night beyond time and space. Come and witness my Ritual of the Night". After this, pick up the salt container, and repeat the following: "By my sacred name, (give your Night Name), through the Presence of my Oversoul and the Eternal Earth Deities, I invoke the Earth Night Power into this container of salt and now place the salt upon the earth to mark the boundary of my sacred circle." Visualize the Earth Deities filling the vessel with their power. Pinch a little salt lightly between your fingers dropping it on the floor over the cord going completely around the circle. BE CAREFUL NOT TO STEP OUTSIDE THE CIRCLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE RITUAL. Place the salt container back on the Night Altar and pick up the crystal bowl of water. Repeat the following: "May the Presence of my Oversoul and the Eternal Water Deities fill this water and container and endow it with the Water Night Power." Visualize the Water Deities of the Earth filling the vessel with the power. With your left hand dip it into the water and sprinkle lightly the boundary you have already marked with the salt. Place the water bowl back on the altar and pick up the incense burner. Repeat the following: "Let the Presence of the Four Winds of the Earth enter into the incense burner filling it with Air Night Power". Now face each direction, rotating counterclockwise, and see the Presence of each Wind Deity enter into the incense burner. Then circle four times in a counterclockwise manner around and within the Magick Circle. Place the incense burner back on the Night Altar and pick up the candle. Repeat the following: "May the Presence of my Oversoul and the Fire Deities of the Earth place their sacred flame here within my candles and upon my Night Altar." See the Fire Deities come and dance around the flames and upon your altar. Place the candle back where it came from and pick up the chalice of wine or juice. Repeat the following: "Let the Presence of my Oversoul and the Eternal Darkness enter into the liquid and fill it with the Power of the Eternal Night. May this elixir give me strength, healing, and courage each day of my life." Feel the Power flow through you and into the chalice. See the energy collect and concentrate till the chalice glows with Night Energy. Now face each direction and repeat the following: "Thank you Night Deities for your attendance at this sacred Night Rite. May we ever serve the Eternal Powers of Darkness here on Earth and the Omniverse forever. So be it." At this point stop and re-enforce your Night Pillar and then take off all your Night Weapons and place them back upon the Night Altar. Leave the cord in place on the floor. 3.
