HORUS#9
In the beginning there was nothing NOTHING=97=PISCES. Nothing that contained everything just as the Astrological sign i is nothing in itself but contains all the signs of the Zodiac, more like the Greek concept of Nothing, having everything in potential. As Pisces is a feminine water sign, together with other factors this defines Nothing as female. Nothing became aware of itself thus creating an image of itself. There became Nothing and its Image. Nothing divided, it is said for love’s sake. As Nothing cannot become Something, Nothing must have become less than nothing i.e. O = - and - , the two negatives being two further females or Goddesses. The difference between these two divinities is the desire to BE. One negative force contains all undifferentiated, the other is also undifferentiated but has the will to Be.
These two negatives or Goddesses have the characteristics of all Twin Goddesses:- in their pure form Isis and Nepthys, Demeter and Persephone, etc. The difference between them is that one has the will to be. The two negatives united to give - - = + thus crossing the veil of negative existence to create a +universe. This process is that of creation as opposed to the reproduction experienced by male and female. Two Goddesses united in an act of creation, that gives birth to two Gods simultaneously. The one reflects the negative undifferentiated deity as Christ and the other with the will to be BE=45 spawns Horus. These names may not be used but their principles will always be the characteristics of these primary entities in any mythology. If the view of creation is true then its reality must have resonated down the ages and will have found its expression in both space and time. If it does not then it is not a valid symbol for the original creation.
In Ch.2 v.76 the two Goddesses are the two characters O and M. The Goddess O is the negative Goddess without the will to be as the other M has the will to be. The R in ROM is an expression of O. R=12 the twelve archetypes. ROM is the beginning of creation as expressed by II76.
We are now in a position of having two Goddesses and their two Sons having the natures of Jesus and Horus, the natures of their mothers who have the essential natures of Isis and Babalon. In the Solar system these two are expressed as the Earth and the Moon. As the two Goddesses the double negatives are actually the expression of Nothing then what they produce must also be Nothing, but with the characteristic to be, that is that Jesus and Horus will also be one and are expressed in the Solar system as the Sun, having the characteristics of both Jesus and Horus. The benign creative fertile productive Jesus Sun and the destructive burning desert Sun of Horus, the Avenging Horus with the will to be I AM=45=HORUS. The ultimate expression of the will to BE=45 is I AM=45.
This creation of the two negatives have their reflection in the Solar system as the Sun Moon and Earth. SUN=36=MAN. The Moon reflects Babalon the whore with the will to be, and Isis the container of all symbolised by the Earth. The Sun has the dual nature of his mothers. The Sun has the nature of Christ and Horus as does man. SUN=MAN=36. Woman has the nature of the two Goddesses the Virgin Mother 93 and the Whore. The whore is the female with the will to be. As the ultimate entity is female then all things that spring from her must also be ultimately female. Therefore female sexuality must also contain within it male sexuality. If in the beginning all was created by a God then the imprint of God’s hermaphroditic characteristics must still be imprinted on the sexuality of man and expressed in the most obvious symbols available, the Earth in which he lives and the Sun and Moon that he constantly sees. There must be a unity of expression in a symbol that purports to explain and define creation, if this unity fails, that is if the creation myth is not concealed throughout nature then the version of creation delineated cannot be true.
In the case of creation according to Al we have the original two negative forces that were created from nothing expressing themselves as the Earth and Moon in the Solar system and Heaven as their seals in the sexuality of woman. Which is what would be expected if the female was the first entity. The benign virgin mother Goddess represented by the Moon has her expression in the vagina/womb and her active aspect - her Son has his expression as Jesus Christ. The clitoris 109 of woman is the expression of the whore. This gives rise to an apparent conflict in woman when confronted by male deities.
The vagina aspect of woman is all preserving and exercises her influence through Jesus as the God of Love. Jesus must have the will of his mother just as Horus must have the will of his mother. The vagina Goddess of woman must make the way clear for reproduction and Jesus teaches precisely this. He is the god of peace love and harmony Jesus is LIFE=68. In man this is expressed as his creative aspect and his benign desire to please his mother however he defines Her. This aspect of him has the nature of the Moon.
LIFE=JESUS=68 Infinite8 Law6. He is the creative preserving aspect of the Goddess in action represented by the Moon in the Solar system and imprinted on the sexuality of woman as her actual reproductive organs as opposed to her clitoris which is her wand or destructive aspect. The interplay between the vagina/womb woman and the clitoris woman have their expression in the eternal antics of man. There are two influences in man the benign Jesus and the destructive courageous Horus. The moon has its expression in the psychology of woman as her whore aspect. In this sense a whore is a woman who gives herself for love but requires a hero to give her love to. The whore aspect of woman is active and dynamic, in the modern world she is the business woman striving to compete in a man’s world, she loves power, she doesn’t give a damn for anything, she wants to see blood flow and is not averse to a little rape and pillage. She is Babalon, the Woman Clothed with the Sun. She has the 28 day cycle of the moon. She is neither virgin nor mother, she has the real power and can make a man move mountains or give his life in whatever cause is her whim at the time. Her weapon is the clitoris, the source of dynamic power in woman. The true wand and the original phallus, oh boy had Freud got it wrong.
The other aspect of woman is the Mary Mother Earth type of woman. She can be either virgin or mother, her psychology is much the same. She seeks peace love and harmony, she is the fertile earth, either bearing as a mother or not bearing as the virgin, her weapons are the vagina and the womb. The lunar woman has her expression in man as Horus. His psychology is active and dynamic like his mother, it is his function to do her will. The Earth woman seeks peace love and tranquillity and has her expression in the gentler gods like Jesus.
Christianity incidentally is the most feminine religion ever to take the world stage! if we but examine the implication of its primary tenets.
In the Bible and elsewhere these two males are seen as in perpetual conflict. Always the Cain and Abel at war with each other when in truth and Thelema they must complement each other. A true man must be a priest of Horus, a follower of Christ and a worshipper of the Goddess, this is the true hero. It is he that the Goddess eternally responds to. A man was born of woman and seeks woman, he goes from the Earth woman his mother and seeks the whore. Man is eternally between two women, from birth until death, just as the Sun divides the Earth and the Moon. A woman is a woman when she matures sexually but a male must earn the title of man and the greater the hero a man is the more of a man he is considered. It is woman who defines what a man must be and how his heroism is expressed and this changes from era to era. From his mother to his bride and on the way his life will define the type of hero he is. Man has always worshipped woman no matter what his sexuality or inclinations are we will always find that his motives and behaviour are always
delineated by some woman or other in the long run.
In the beginning two archetypal females kissed and the male was born of their union and man and woman have been celebrating this act ever since even though the reason for kissing has been lost in the recesses of his unconscious mind, and the meanings of the cross and the swastika have been lost and esotericised KISS=CROSS=STAR. The reality is a celebration of the unity that created man. These two females are at the root of man’s unconscious. WOMAN=46=1 she is the primary unity while MAN=36=9 the number of illusion, this is why one cannot define a true man but one knows one when one sees him. There is in truth no such thing as male psychology. What is defined as male is simply the whore acting through him as his Horus aspect and balanced by his Christ aspect. It is Horus who clears away the rubbish for his Jesus aspect to build upon the space provided, all for woman. Horus is an avenging God but this simply means his provenance is the forces of action and reaction whereas Jesus is the God of change and life. JESUS=CHANGE=LIFE=68.
HORUS=45=I AM
JESUS=68=LIFE
I AM LIFE=113=CENTRE, GARMENTS. 113 is at the centre of Heaven in the Libra-Hadit Tree. These entities are feminine in being and masculine in action seen from below, seen from above they are entirely feminine. Thelema removes the conflict in male and female psychology. Christianity requires the suppression of the Horus aspect and delineates him as the Devil eternally in conflict with the powers of God. Thelemically man’s Horus aspect is his Hero aspect and has its expression in man’s desire to be unique and make his mark upon the world, he is the antithesis of the ‘do-as-you’re-told’ slave religion of Churchianity. Man is taught to feel bad about this aspect of himself, a negative state that can lead to his self destruction, see the Vietnam war for details. When the hero has done battle he is in very vulnerable state, Christ has taken over the vacuum, it is easy but criminal to give him feelings of guilt and remorse for his ‘evil’ deeds as his psychology has swung over to his Jesus persona. The Americans have difficulty with this, not so the British, a country governed by Aries as opposed to the Gemini/Cancer of the USA. Contrast the Vietnam war with the Falklands war. The British made heroes of their failures, the Americans have no truck with failures, but they are a young country and they do have English and the Spells inherent in our common language will make good the damage done by environment and climate.
This interplay between Horus and Jesus in the psyche of humanity is the whole key to human psychology. True psychological integration, the aspiration of psychoanalysis of Freud and Jung can only be attained when these unconscious archetypes are recognised in their true context. All aspects of human psychology have their roots in necessity and all the roots of necessity have their wellspring in the archetypes of Horus and Jesus. To understand the real psychology of man and woman we must learn to integrate the Horus and Jesus aspect in man and the Isis and Nepthys in woman. Many are the names of these deities but few are their primary functions.
Our journey between our mothers and our whores requires many ordeals to complete a man just as the Sun must explore the 12 signs of the Zodiac between Moon and Earth so man must experience the 12 aspects of woman that are his ordeals before he is emancipated into the truly New Age where man becomes a priest of Horus a follower of Christ and a worshipper of the Goddess. Then and only then will he cease to have to hang onto the coattails of his mother Earth, then and only then will he be worthy to take his place among the stars aware as he will be, not of his incipient and implicit death, but the transformatory affluence created by the consciousness of the continuity of his existence, the non-atomic or non-fragmentary fact of his essential nature. The creation is an ongoing process it is without grace or guilt it only has the virtue of continuity. The creation as all creation is a feminine expression just as reproduction requires a male and a female, creation demands two women, and by now we know who and what these two females are and subtract one from the other and we have man.
