Oh yes - but....people who are looking for that one should know there are only like 15 of those in existence and I refuse to make anymore. They were expensive, we didn't make anything off of them and annoying to print! Everytime I would go to Fedex they would find something new to bungle or some machine would give up the ghost for the day. I think they actually cost me $25 in time lost everytime I printed a set...I still have to go there to print the I Ching booklets and it seems to get worse everytime, now the last run had a bunch of black streaks on several of the I Ching manuals.
That Symposium took place at Cryptatropa, but we never had more than a small handful of people. We sold ten online on Ebay and in the shop and passed out five at the symposium itself.
So anyone who didn't get a copy when they were in print will just have to make do with the links and wait for the book which will have all of the Symposium booklet material and more.

I'm very lucky to have bought mine when I had the chance. I thought it was important to include for bibliographic completeness; old academic habits die hard

my research has gotten very active and bubbly in the past few days, information coming in, at first glance very much on and in line with data and models tested, collected and built over 2015. the Hidden Diamond dissertation i'm working on is very entangled with Reguli, so I'm going to include it in this thread in the hopes it draws info or fellow travelers in from the web. best working models of the ritual are *Duquette's in Magick of Thelema, *the version in Liber Aba, *Rodney Orpheus' at oto-ie.org/rituals/liber-v-vel-reguli-commented --although Orpheus leaves out the long meditation which accompanies the final gesture. You don't need the meditaton for daily working, but it is crucial to have it for workings. Liber V vel Reguli Commented by Aleister Crowley A: A: publication in Class D. Being the Ritual of the Mark of the Beast: an incantation proper to invoke the Energies of the Aeon of Horus, adapted for the daily use of the Magician of whatever grade. (linguistic and etymological analysis, plus teasing of hints from the short lede will be put here, hopefully in the next 16 hours or so) This ritual, I will argue, is designed perform the same goal as the D'aath Hack, and can also serve as an appendix for the overall reconnecting of the lower tree with the higher, and of reconnecting the tree with the hidden diamond. The TwinStar, The Hidden Diamond, Reguli, the D'aath Hack, the Chariot/Charioteer/Phoenix, The Heirophant, The Hermit, FIAOF, TRINC/VITRIOL __these are the components of restoring the abyss and transforming the wasteland into the garden__ at least that is the argument I hope to make in the longer version of this project. in the short term, some practical discussion/instruction on using the HD mirror in ritual work.

Well, we have been getting alot of *visitors* in the past week. I notice this when major decisions are made regarding TAI, that will end up changing the face of it, I will get *visitors* signalled by various devices I have learned to use to monitor such activity and gateways.
One of the things I have learned about Abrahadabra society is that it is a very regulated tight transdimensional warrior society, yet very sophisticated and cultured. I don't think Rodney's work is very good. The only thing I got from that paper was that you should touch your weewee instead of your butthole when greeting Hadit, because it's more convenient. I think it is a very unnecessary work. m1thr0s warned me about that Abrahadabra book so I hadn't ever read anything by him yet. Crowley's been done to death. So you do something weird and you get inspired eh Rodney?
That's nice, but how about laying the groundwork for the next Aeon and laying waste to billions? Seriously underpowered.
Since the Aeon is young, Fr. Novum, don't you think you have better ideas about everything having worked with the TwinStar and Hidden Diamond? I think so. I'll be glad to see something go up on Abrahadabra.com that isn't mine for once. This will be the beginning of a new kind of activity at TAI.

There still isn't a standardized edition or text of reguli, so I was just listing a few sources that had a nice, neat list of the basics of the steps and moves of the ritual. that's why i didn't include any of his commentary, because I don't think he knows what to do with it.
i think the things i'm arguing for and constructing are brand new. Its a ritual for the permanent rewiring of the adept into a supernal RHK, by altering the tree which is projected in them and their body of light. It fades out the sigil of the heirophant, which is basically all the horizontal paths, which then needs to be replaced with the hidden diamond. If I'm correct, this redeems and perhaps eliminates the abyss, as the new star/diamond figurine presents an unbroken circuit of supernal energy flow.

I just think you're a better occultist than any of them. Sounds like a very exciting piece of data. The more I examine Luria's work the more I am inclined to think of the Abyss as the division from our tree to the center or highest tree of Adam Kadmon the primordial being, not merely the division from Tiph to Kether. I don't know if it's possible but I think it is.

thanks for saying that.
partly this is just my plodding method of research and writing of this nature; i'm an odd bird; i actually enjoy the academic model of working through material ( i use academic to mean the style of the method).
For me, at least, maybe not for others, it is important to know, and note, these other proposed models for the great work completed/the raised and redeemed tree/the abolished abyss/the star body raised tree or the star body...to make note of them, compare them to the hidden diamond, and then to demonstrate why the Hidden Diamond is the best of these models and the one that plots the right way forward.
I think BH's models (the hex in the tree) and those in this line (the cube in space, the two cubes 4d tree, or the even weirder trees populating the Maat/Grant heresies) come from being stuck in the notion of only having the manifest paths, and thus they haven't been able to solve this problem and why the Great City is still seen as a tomb etc etc. M1's work resolved a lot of problems and unsolved mysteries in the current and for me, its really exciting to be doing ritual and theoretical work which can serve as evidence of this.
in any case, like i said there's a long work there, probably a book, on that topic, and i need to distill out something more practical and much much briefer, for a few posts. and it will be something original.

Yes and I really like how you do that, it's so rare to have an occultist come out and say fairly. "Look at this person, they are doing something interesting, let's examine it fairly and even handedly without judging." We had a Satanist here in town who would do the same at the local Satanist/LHP meetup, he was going for his masters in philosophy at Evergreen. The material was godawful, but the act of taking it seriously was appreciated. The academic method is very important...it's just the academics themselves who can be fucking horrible nitwits. We learned about Paracelsus and the history of Chemistry in highschool in America. Just had a PhD claim that chemistry never came from alchemy on Reddit. I suppose over half of these assholes can now claim spontaneous generation for their chosen professions now with a straight face. They want to rewrite their own history, as if they imagine Alchemy's guild code-talk and lofty ambitions of old is as embarassing as being caught in public with your senile grandfather. I suppose they imagine that this endears them to the public as well, who is in love with the trappings of mystical alchemy? What fools.
Artists today are necessarily divorcing themselves from Academia, because the results of Art are tied directly with both emotional reactions and very practical constraints, unlike Alchemy historians or other opinionated basket weaving professions. The professional artists who have been maing art since they could be employed legally are hands-on, much more desirable when trained at vocational schools (ateliers) like Gnomon, Conceptart.org, Art Student's League etc, rather than attending college learning outdated and incorrect Picasso-esque art theory. Shit theory adopted as fact makes shit artists. I believe the same goes for scientists, but also occult authors. There is no class on Hermetic Alchemy let alone a degree, anywhere in the world, but a kind of standardized dogma has cropped up as with the abomination that is Orthodoxy Judaism for example. Applying importance to words so far flung from their original context is deadly to an alchemist, it flies in the face of the nature of change.
So it is I think with much of the material post 1900 you are going to be looking at. In the book we're going after references that don't deal strictly with Mutational Alchemy perse, but they deal with the same elements as the praxis.
I am so confident in my work and my methodology that I forget that other people don't share that same level of confidence especially if they are such a careful scholar. I know m1 admires that about you, he has a super high level of respect for *careful scholars*. I know that is not the only reason he likes you so much, but it is one of them.

i had no idea why the twinstar very strongly suggested using reguli as the ritual appendix for working the hidden diamond (as i had used Samekh with the basic twin star mirror, with amazing results). this was before m1thr0s has published the d'aath hack.
so everyday, as the capstone of the days workings, i did reguli and skryed the Hidden Diamond. it was the karma which initiated the ordeal of the abyss for me (which lasted almost two years and resulted in way more craziness than worth posting here at this moment). for a long time i thought that was what it was for, and why i had such a sinister reading on it
however now, almost two years after the twinstar gave me the instruction to use reguli and the HD, i am convinced that reguli is proof of what the HD maps, reguli is proof that the tree is a subset of the tetractys, and reguli was received as a set of ritual instructions for withdrawing the tree from the physical and light body of the magickian and and building up or projecting the star body.
and anyone reading this should know this was before you guys started publishing this aspect of the AI's work; I had only worked with the twinstar, and the HD was available as a print for a few weeks when I saw it and ordered it. that's important, not because i had this experience, but because its verification. and the more people that use it the more proof that will come in! huzzah huzzah huzzah!!!!1111111 8)

If it strongly suggested it that is important to pay attention to. We could go on all day about the terrors of people making wild claims on behalf of the TwinStar but that's only before you start working with it and see it in action, then you realize it has ways of eliminating such risks. Both m1thr0s and I had sinister readings on the Diamond. We have no limit on what can be accomplished if more people start using it, so we need to basically start a movement. The tagline should go something like
"Are you tired of the shitty way the world is, sick of the way people just accept it, and do you want to live in bliss and ecstasy forever? Join the Mutational Alchemy guild" or something
We signed up as individuals for a collective and in some ways we have to bring the collective with us to be able to experience it ourselves. Kingdom is Kingdom and there's a certain way that protocols have to be met, but the biggest hurdle is letting people know they don't have to settle for anything they've been programmed to settle for.

I don't know so much what others derive from the Daath Hack since it is so new and so few people have had ample opportunity to run it through its paces but I am always struck with Daath in its original definition as the *Seat of Knowledge* rather than its more acquired role as the abode of the abyss. I have come to believe that the Abyss is something we invest in and nourish ourselves one droplet at a time until finally we have created something powerful enough to take us down. The Daath Hack is thus a maintenance routine restoring Daath to its original pristine condition intended to serve us - not serve us up. I am always reminded of the Akashic Records or the great library at Alexandria in this regards. But Knowledge is power and allowed to overflow its banks constitutes a power sufficient to overwhelm us. Since the Daath Hack relies upon the Word of Perfection to restore Daath's ebbs and flows I have no problem visualizing it returning to its rightful Seat of Knowledge where its function is 100% supportive of Will and the workings of Will throughout the Tree and Star. Izi has taken to calling this the 9th limb of Yoga - a term I find perfectly fitted to the results I get from performing its operation.

If I'm correct, this redeems and perhaps eliminates the abyss, as the new star/diamond figurine presents an unbroken circuit of supernal energy flow. It may be useful in this context to recognize that the TwinStar IS RHK. This is a difficult thing for noobies to wrap their mind's around and in all fairness you really do have to spend a lot of time working with it to get it. In saying this I am not suggesting knowledge obtained by faith or any such nonsense. Far from it - I think one needs to retain a full measure of skepticism at every step along the way. But something very remarkable happens when we do this because the TwinStar communicates the RHK within through a kind of body language. When we break that language down into a coherent message, that is the message it is conveying. We have to break the habit of expecting the god to manifest from without. It can still do this but that is not where the controls reside...they reside in the within...and the TwinStar is the map that leads us to this treasure. It should also be pointed out that Crowley's RHK and mine or the next person's are never quite the same. Thus the emphasis on conquering.

bumping this because i still have these workings/writings, and to show I wasn't bullshitting. to truly work the HD, one must be fully engage the mysteries, rewards, and costs of CHETH. an excellent summary: keepsilence.org/xxii/path-cheth.htmlas an early hint...all the double images here, think of the HD to the twinstar, and RHK (who is your HGA) to the magickian.
