New Aeon Magick Chapter 4 by Garald Campo |
THE HOLY GUARDIAN ANGEL vs. GOD
"Be strong, o man, lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture:
fear not that any God shall deny thee for this".
LIBER AL II.22
***
Two people can look at a pencil and agree that it is a pencil
because the senses have sent their brains similar information.
However, since two objects cannot occupy the same space at the
same time our perceptions will vary because our position to the
pencil will differ.
This illustrates the great fall of conventional Religion. Every
Sect has a perspective of God which differs from other sects,
they will not allow any deviance from what their experience with
God has been. They have failed to realize that the experience of
the Knowledge of God is different to every one depending on where
they are in relation to the rest of the Universe, as I have
illustrated above.
"God" is a word which attempts to describe an entity which
admittedly can not be described; yet those who use the word while
preaching claim they know what "God" wants you to do. If "God"
wants to tell you something, God will tell you Him or Herself.
God wanted men and women to think independently, it is for this
reason that God disguised Himself as a Serpent and "tempted" the
pair.
As Gnostics we must strive to develop a personal relationship
with God, without the middle man. All that is needed to
accomplish the Union of Man and God is within our hearts, this is
the mystery of the Christ. Conventional Religious Cults do not
want you to know this. They want you to feel like you need them;
this way they can continue selling you real estate in heaven.
Cults need to exercise control over their members, they are not
in the least bit interested in their devotees developing a
personal relationship with God.
Every man and woman should strive to create their own religions
according to their own Wills and evolutionary development. It is
a good idea to study all religions in order to understand the
Inner Mysteries hidden therein. Only by this Knowledge can we
come to the Understanding which is necessary in creating one's
own Myth. Religion has a lot to offer and one can learn
much about the culture and lives of the people who follow the
religion that one is researching.
Remember that since Truth is beyond speech it cannot be
communicated. Therefore, in order to avoid folly when reading
any Holy Book we must not take the literal meaning as the Truth,
or we will be in danger of falling into the trap that the
Fundamentalist has fallen into. Furthermore, don't trust anyone
who claims to know the Truth. Truth is protected from the vulgar
because it is written in a language that only the Initiated will
understand. Become worthy of the Truth and it will find you.
Peoples experience of "God" will differ because God will manifest
Itself to the individual according to their race, culture,
education, and previous experience.
Because the Magician understands this basic principle of
philosophy he uses the term HOLY GUARDIAN ANGEL when referring to
his or her "God". The Magician knows that the image in which God
has manifested Himself to the individual is only one in an
infinite at Its disposal.
Conventional philosophies go to great lengths to make one believe
that their God is the only one. They boast about Its Omnipotence
and Omnipresence, yet; they fail to recognize that very same God
as manifested in other cultures. In essence, they blaspheme the
same God that they claim to serve.
The Holy Guardian Angel is your God, It will not make you drop to
your knees or expect you to do the will of others. It will walk
with you, and be there in times of need to comfort you, and in
times of great opposition It will be the blood that boils within
you. It will laugh with you in times of great happiness and
strengthen you in times of great sorrow.
The image which your Angel has given you is uniquely yours.
Remember to show others the benefit of knowing their own God, as
the sages of time tell us: "In true religion there is no sect,
therefore take heed that thou blaspheme not the name by which
another knoweth his God; for if you do this thing in Jupiter thou
will blaspheme IHVH and in Osiris IHShVH. Ask and ye shall have!
Seek, and ye shall find! Knock, and it shall be opened unto
you!"
PERCEPTION IS NINE TENTHS OF THE LAW.
