STEPPING THROUGH THE PORTAL

– Pathworking is a form of
magickal practice that incorporates the appropriate lore, symbols and
visualizations that will unleash or awaken archetypal currents laden
in the subconscious mind, that which connects the analysticalconscious
mind to the “other” levels. These have all been placed
there to perfect what the Gnostics have called the “Grand Deception”
of the Physical Demiurge. The ancient currents tapped within this
system are actually quite recognizable when compared to related
Kabbalistic and planetary associations.
Given that the Chaldeans and Assyrians are famous for developing
these contemporary Semitic systems of magick (which even became
the entire basis for the Solomonic cycle of grimoires), it would
logically follow that the more ancient version would be its source. It
is often difficult to correct the behaviors of a person who has been
trying to conduct a complicated program of “astral projection” as a
means of “skrying in spirit vision” or “rising on the planes”. The
means of realizing the astral light body in the astral or “stepping
through the portal” is simply a matter of willing the astral form
through a projected (thoughtform) portal. If you can access the light
body and you can visualize a “doorway”, then you can do this. The
necessary triggers are already there, you simply need to “activate”
them. As soon as you will your mind’s eye through the threshold, the
shift in consciousness will be recognized by the mind. A similar
technique is sometimes used by hypnotherapists. The icons, seals and
gylphs that you mentally stamp onto your “astral portal” will focus
the mind on a specific energetic current when you “realize” yourself
in the astral. Essentially, by fixing your entire attentions on that
specific energetic vibration (current), you are able to reach that
“level” or “polarity” of consciousness.
The first “level” encountered (aside from the extraordinarily subtle
or blatanly physical “Earth Gate”) in the system is the Moon Gate,
which ironically, is the embodiment of the “common” astral plane or
dreamscape that many have already enjoyed lucid access to without
even formal occult education. The astral materializes as an “Akashic”
substance that mystics have described as “rays of light” (and sure
enough, there are seven of these too). This “astral stuff” is actually
the material that impresses onto the “background” or “brane” of
material reality. The astral plane itself is not specifically the electromagnetic
(EM) spectrum of light as it is experienced in the world,
but also the screen, projector and beam that allows the light to exist.
This material permeates physical existence as well, but it not nearly
as fluid or pliant (and is currently unobservable directly by the
physical sciences). The instantaneous manifestation of thoughts and
emotions also applies to the physical world, but it does not seem to
manifest as quickly or tangibly as it does in the astral (and with good
reason!), existing instead as an energetic current of potential or
probability.

THE ASTRAL STAR-GATES

– The seven key thresholds are
encountered when the practitioner is “rising on the planes” of the
“Ladder of Lights”. To be sure, the Mardukite Chamberlains have
indeed found that the seals of these Star-Gates given within the
Simonian interpretation have proven effective, they appear to have
been added later in the tradition and do not match the simplicity of
those which appear within the main section of this text, unearthed
from the very sands of the Middle East alone, where they have laid
untouched for thousands of years.
While the pragmatic ceremonialist can certainly benefit from
inscribing the signs in the ground (or on boards), it should be
understood that these acts are performed in addition to the
constructive visualization and “astral” work conducted and are not
replacements for these non-material efforts.
Whether they are maliciously malignant, actively seeking to enslave
us away from the Source, or simply have a mission of radical
earth-change that is beyond the moral comprehension of mortals, the
threshold or “pass-not-ring” that extends beyond the seventh veil
(and is actually connected to a “between” zone near the sixth veil) is
sometimes referred to as the “Gate to the Outside” – and when
coupled with the unnumbered Earth Gate, the mind seeks
immediately to further separate this additional facet as a mysterious
“Ninth Gate”. This is defined in the Mardukite ARCANUM [(2008)
Joshua Free] book as:

“A barrier that separates the time-space of the Earth
Planet from the ‘malignant’ primordial forces that
are ‘locked out’. This gate operates independently of
the others found along the Ladder of Lights…using
the Elder Sign, Marduk sealed the Gate from ‘our’
side, where a race of earthborn could be selected to
keep watch over the gate, which is the mystery
tradition presented in the NECRONOMICON!”

An important key to remember when dealing with the nature of the
ANUNAKI dimensions is that our world is really encompassed by
one singular and unifying dimension which is equated to (equal and
www.NecroGate.com
one with) the Divine Spark of the Eternal Source – however… the
mind-body system has been fashioned with several shells or layers
that are perceived as separate from the perspective of the Ego, which
is actually programmed to separate all things into parts beginning
with the I-not-I monad (mundanely: what I am versus what I am not).
Some practitioners take the approach of “absolution” of polarities as
opposed to “harmonizing” them. So long as perfected unity is
attainable, both are acceptable for the neophyte to begin with.
The “astral” equation is usually the part of the system (whether it
be this, the Simonian or even Enochian magick) that seems to
separate the “bookshelf sorcerers” and “armchair wizards” from the
successful and dedicated seekers. This is not necessarily due to a lack
of dedication, but to a lack of pure learning (true thinking) and the
overcoming of bad habits in self-doubt and frustration concerning
such efforts. Secondly, the astral is something that we all innately
share ties to as a part of our natural state. Therefore accessing it
should not be seen so much as “a thing to do”, rather, it is “a thing to
be”.
In the physical world you are programmed to have a sensory
stimulus-response with the most basic and lowest functioning
vibrations possible. Many of them are beautiful, and the more natural
they are, the higher the vibrations seem to be – and yet still, all that
exists in the physical is but a mere shadow or mirage of light bent
across the screen for your enjoyment. When you can patiently learn
to adjust your “spirit vision” to see through the flickering lights of
the physical, then you are ready to “step through the portal”.

THE ASTRAL BODY OF LIGHT

– The astral body or light body
is the part of us that is energetically connected with the ether/astral
and the fabric of the universe. The multiple layers, often interpreted
as colored bands connected to the “chakras”, are actually what bind
us within the systematic existence of the physical universe. At the
center of our being contains the Divine Spark of the Source, that
which is Eternal and at the core of all vibration. Entering and
activating the “Body of Light” with regular practice will not only
increase your mystical abilities but also the true understanding (or
“experience” if you wish) and auric strength necessary for
Gatekeeping. Each time the light body is activated it becomes easier
to do so the next time because you are becoming more consciously
aware of it.
Initially entering the “Body of Light” is, as the mystic masters of
the past have expressed, a matter of visualization or concentration
and intention or willpower. The proper use of these faculties is what
all metaphysical pursuits are really made up of in spite of their outer
form. This manner of operations is quite different from the “word
and gesture” techniques found in more contemporary practices,
which are actually more effectively executed once the operator is
operating from within the light body. Be sure that you are
comfortable in your environment and properly prepared (and
purified) in your internal set. Anything that is not helping you to
reach your goal should be removed as a distraction. While there are
many means of accessing the “Body of Light”, one which has proven
effective begins by focusing all of your awareness as a (ball of) light
in your feet, drawing this energy up from the ground beneath you
(and essentially the unnamed, unmentioned, unnumbered “Earth
Gate”). Slowly bring this light and awareness throughout your entire
body as you perform progressive muscle relaxation coupled with
regulatory breathing.

THE LADDER OF LIGHTS

– The Babylonian “Ladder of Lights”
(or BAB.ILI “Stairway of the Gods”) is actually a pre-Semitic form
of the Kabbalah. The primary trinity composes the “supernal”
trinagle: ANU (I), ENLIL (II) and ENKI (III). These forces are not
dealt with directly in this system, and are instead replaced by the
“younger” ANUNAKI Elder Gods of the Babylonian “Star-Gate”
pantheon. The currents dealt with compose the “Seven Heavens” of
the ANUNAKI dimensions (10 + 1) including (in descending order):
NIN(IB)URTA – ADAD (Saturn current), MARDUK – AMONRA/
ATEN (Jupiter current), NERGAL (Mars current), SAMAS –
SHAMMASH (Solar current), IS(H)TAR – INANNA (Venus
current), NABU – NEBO (Mercury current) and NANNA – SIN
(Lunar current). The spirit of the “Earth” Gate is often called: KIA.

While it might seem that the system was limited or incomplete, the
physical representations of the currents not dealt with pertained to
both entities and planets not visible or affecting on Earth. The
Babylonian worldview interpreted these forces both in form and
spirit as “distant and forgetful”. Evidence shows that the early
Sumerians may have indeed been knowledgeable of celestial bodies
beyond these, but the correspondences for them become immaterial
to a Earth-ed practitioner with no ability to calculate them. It has
only been through the evolution of the telescope (artificial eyes) that
humans have been able to better understand their place in the cosmos
during the current era.

The initial ascent “up” the Ladder of Lights is essential to the
formation of the complete “astral form” that is necessary of a fully
empowered “Gatekeeper”. These are not “layers” to be added to
one’s being. They are already there, however, the purity and
programming is something that even the New Age lightworkers only
scrape upon. Being that both our systematic design and that of the
local physical “holographic universe” is both by ANUNAKI design,
it even logically follows that these systems all be virtually the same
design, simply “experienced” at varying levels of existence. The
same currents can be found in all perceived levels of existence, both
spiritual and physical, showing they are all the same entangled
system at the core, but refracted outward to create multiple “levels”
compounding on one another. These “levels” are not really separate
at all, but each can be perceived as a “system” in itself, given its own
semantics and truths that all will appear to validated one another
within that system.

The iconic symbol of this initiatory process that the consciousness
uses to map the ladder, whether it be the “Sword of Light” hidden in
the Semitic Kabbalah or the zigzag pattern traced over the “zonei”,
reminiscent of a lightning bolt. A student of the Simonian
Necronomical tradition will note a glyph appearing like an elaborated
“Z” and “3” prevalent throughout the text. The sum of all this arcane
symbolism denotes inspiration, divine illumination and particularly
with the Sky Gods or ANUNAKI as a Source, such as could indeed
be imagined like a lightning bolt descending from the heavens.
This later became interpreted as the form or symbol of power in its
raw and untamed state, such as we find so blatantly in the case of
Zeus (Jupiter, Dys Pater, Marduk). It should be appropriately thought
of as neither constructive or destructive within and as itself, though it
can be harnessed to carry powers of both life and death.

This issue is raised in the introduction to NINE GATES OF THE KINGDOM OF SHADOWS, edited by Joshua Free:

“The writings of H.P. Lovecraft prompted a new face of the consciousness of the mystical movement (one obviously enshrouded in the freedom gained in fiction what some less artistic and creative occultists would only dream of attaining in their plethora of undertakings) but it was alluding to something that many misunderstood – as was undoubtedly the intention of the intelligences that prompted his visions. Too many folk have come and gone preaching their opposition to the “Necronomicon” – a title that may very well have been the absolute creation of Lovecraft (as this editor has never resolved to debate on that issue), even if by his own admission, for the sole purpose of amusement. To what end does this discredit the role taken in merely giving to the idea a name – to be the neo-biblical Adam of this generation, completely innocent in the undertaking of giving trivial names to the beasts and images encountered.“
