W

hile this text is decidedly morenon-linear than most, you maystill find it efficacious (at least on

the first reading) to begin withpart I and continue in sequential fashion.

f there is a paradigm shift, an opening orclosing of a gateway to another realm ofReality which causes change in thefundamental nature of things, it is

exceedingly difficult to perceive the exact moment ofchange or the exact nature of the change. I feelthere is a level of awareness responsible for such

shifts which is far more puissant than out own

limited human awareness and it takes a very specialatunement of our awareness to actually comprehendwhat is going on while it is in transition. Notto say it is impossible to detect these quantum

leaps. Just saying that it is often damned difficult.Sorta like watching popcorn pop. Easy to see

when a kernel has popped but much more difficult toobserve a particular kernal popping.

I feel there are methods whereby atunement tosuch quantum moments may be achieved. I have

found that sexual union with inter-dimensionalentites, can give rise to the birthing of a hybrid self- not as a seperate childe entitybut as oneself, butable to access higher dimensions & non-Euclidean

space much more easily than the unfertilized mortalcoil is able to do. There is a little essay & diaryfragment penned by Frater AshT-Chozar-Ssaratuof the Miskatonic Alchemical Expedition which isavailable on the web which gives some suggestive

allusions to this method. As with all practicumfrom this essay, it is (IMO) far better to re-workthe details to suit ones own disposition than toattempt to re-create what was done by me or anyother. Not only can a person not wash twice inthe same river, but one seeker cannot hope to

recreate the experience of another.

Stages of the Dream

T

hese are my perceptions of my Journey.It seems to me that generalizations canbe made, but I also realize that the

non-Euclidean fractal nature ofinitiation also means that different generalization

may be drawn by different individuals. That said,allow me to continue:


5/10

The first stage is to remember ones dreams.There are pleanty of treatises on keeping a dreamdiary, breaking ones sleep and other tools useful to

this stage of development. So I shall not belabourthe obvious (at least until a later chapter of thisbook).

Stage 2 is waking up within the dream.Western Ceremonialists term this lucid dreaming.

Again, plenty of texts are extant. However, there isone point many seem to gloss over. That issemantic & mythologic tools for comprehension ofwhat is transpiring as well as interaction with the

dream. It is not enough to find your hands or toesin a dream or be able to open up a doorway &walk thru it.

I count 2 tools as being of primoimportance. You may discover others. The firstis a clear working understanding of as many

mythologies as possible. The writing of HPL (forexample) and all those others who write within the

Mythos termed by some the 23 Current. But Irecommend not stopping there. There are manydreamers and many have very interesting dreamswhich do not easily fit into the 23 Current. Someare classical (such as the Hindu myth cycles) while


6/10

others are more modern dreams. Most (like HPLswork) are sold as fiction, while some are billed aschanneled works. Makes no difference. Read,

absorb what you enjoy & try to perceive the variousmythologies playing together within your dreams.odgesons House on the Borderland had a greataffect on my as a young man. Currently I aminfecting my dreams with sentient interdimnsional

spiders who feed off the esthetics of the web of

connection which binds all together from PerdidoStationby China Mieville

Purists may say that my 2ndtool is butanother mythology. Hundreds of yearsago, I would probably have agreed. But,

I feel, it has transcended mythology &become a tool in-&-of itself. I am speaking ofQabalah. For those not familiar with it innerworkings, I strong suggest further study. Qabalahis a filing system for categorizing both this

mundane world and the realm of Dream. Byvirtue of categorization, one can detect analogous

realms & leap to other levels of dream to betterfigure out what is going on or how best to act.As with everything else, Qabalah is best used as a

jumping off place rather than a system to befollowed slavishly. Kenneth Grant is a primo


7/10

example of one who utilizes Qabalah within hisdreams to great efficacy. Frater PVN of theMiskatonic Alchemical Expedition is another such

dreamer. His series of chapbooks dealing with hisadventures thru the Crystal Mirror are curently outof print. One day I hope to help put them up onthe web.

Musings of a Practical Nature

Irecently was told by Ehwaz Theng XI* ofthe EOD that the MAE's leader (that's me!)had died some years back in upstae NY.Ehwaz was told this by Soror Azenath

(who was then Director of the EOD). I trusted &respected Azenath during her Directorship, so Icannot understand why she would lie. This got methinking about the topics broached in this book.

Back when Azenath was director, I felt that she& I were close. I liked & trusted her. I found it

strange that she would lie about the MAE. I felt

fairly certain that if there were another group withthe same name as the Miskatonic AlchemicalExpedition, *someone*would have clued me in. HadAzenath known, I certainly expect she would have


8/10

told me. In my musngs, I was not doubtingEhwazs words - just saying that something

strange seemed to be going on.On another note, I also found it strange that

Azenath (& the other past directors) would suddenlyattempt to change the rules of sucession forDirectorship within the EOD as ocurred a few yearsback.

It seems to me that there are many timelineswhich criss-cross. Parallel Universes intersecting,

diverging & coming-together. There are quantumtransitions as various gateways open or close. Our

pasts are not necessarily identical, congruent, or evensimilar. There were certainly times during the 1980s

that I was skirting the edge of annialation. My useof psychedelics was rather intense - as it was

meant to be, so that I could shake my apprehensionof mundane reality to perceive & interact with a

much larger multiverse. I was very imbalanced inthose days in not very productive ways. Death urge

was strong. I could easily have killed myelf.

So, you & I may be from a different timelinewhich was somehow joined. In your past, I couldwell have died. The Azenath I once knew does not


9/10

seem at all like the Azenath who attempted to wrestcontrol of the EOD from its rightful Director.

Dealing with Dream & conscious interectiontherewith, both individually & within the EOD is bound

(from my perspective) to place one at a confluence offorces which bestir not only our perceptions of the

multiverse, but the realities which most take for grantedas unchanging.

Crowley spoke of the danger of waking-up

alone. Lovecraft was a solitary dreamerwho seemed to have little belief in the

reality of what he was dreaming. HPL isreported as once saying -The most merciful thing inthe world, I think, is the inability of the human mindto correlate all its contents. I think HPL came to his

conclusion partly because he woke up alone. Not sayingthat waking up within community makes one immuneto fear, doubt, and stark raving lunacy. Just sayingwhen one can compare notes with others & begin to seethat the past is not graven in stone, but is more likethe swirls made by wind on dry sand - then perhaps

one can come to accept there are many Universes nextdoor & the doors between these Universes sometimesswing wide open. Therefore, it seems to me that weshall meet many people over a lifetime who are verymuch not what they seem.
