BOOK I The Structure of the Universe

Nature & Structure: Book I The Structure of the Universe

An Introduction is is not an work of fact, nor is it an work of ction. e following manuscript is an work of hypothetical metaphysical theory based upon a recollection of events which occurred to a being which calls its self Ksanktythst. is being allegedly came to this world from another world (which was in fact this world, the nature of this paradox is to be explained), by means of a type of void space or black space, during that period outside of the ordinary universe (including ordinary areas of theoretical space), this entity was able to catch a glimpse of the wheels of the compound universes turning. To note again, this is not factual or ctional, but an hypothetical postulation based on visions achieved through meditation and observation of the workings of the universe.

Nature & Structure: Book I The Structure of the Universe

Figure 1 I am not so arrogant as to say the Earth is the center of the universe. e Earth however is the planet we currently inhabit and feel comfortable on; therefore we will utilize it as the center of our (I, the narrator, and you, the audiences) universe. We begin of course on Earth, which for the most part appears at to the naked eye, and only at the top of high mountains can one really notice the curve of the horizon. As we leave the planet Earth we notice that the world is not at at all but in fact shaped roughly like a sphere (it does have a degree of imperfection due to the rotation). We proceed further outwards we see our solar system, our galaxy, our galactic cluster, our super cluster and so on until we nally pull back so far as to reach a viewpoint in which we can somehow fathom seeing all the in nite space of this universe in its totality.

Nature & Structure: Book I The Structure of the Universe

Figure 2 At this point In which we see all that is, we notice that somehow, (through some kind of dimensional warping e ect), that this in nite space is contained within a cylindrical form, roughly the shape of a tuna can. I am not at all certain how in nite space is contained within a solid shape, but it apparently is. I assume it has something to do with non-terminating decimals (especially random nonterminating decimals such as pi and e). Figure 3 rough the center of this shape, a sha issues from the top and bottom. is is what Ksanktytst refers to as the Time Line because its nature has something to do with the perception of events passing. It is not certain if the universe travels along the timeline, spins around its axis, or expands away from it (it is, however, probably all of these things), though it is believed that it travels along it).

Nature & Structure: Book I The Structure of the Universe

Figure 4 Above and below the universe are two realms. e upwardness or downwardness has however nothing to do with their dispositions, it is simply related to the direction one must travel to visit one. ese two above and below tuna cans are believed to be divided into di erent segments (in a fashion not unlike a pie). ese cans then rotate above and below the universe cycling in and out various subtle energies &c. It is also believed that just as there is an in nite amount of space within the original can, each of the pie slices, also contains an in nite amount of space. Further, there are an in nite number of these slices. is compounded in nity encapsulates everything that we consider to be within our universe both physically and metaphysically (spiritually). In short gure 4 depicts all things within our universe which exist and which may or may not exist.

Nature & Structure: Book I The Structure of the Universe

Figure 5 Issuing from the top and bottom of the tuna can (which now appears more like a traditional cylinder or beer can if you will), is a sha referred to as the time line. is title is accurate enough as the sha does have something to do with the perception that one thing happens a er another, in some kind of ordered fashion. A more descriptive title would be Causality stream as this is more in line with how the sha functions. As the cylinder moves along the line (at an in nite rate), the stream branches (at an in nite rate), and the cylinder goes down the new path, simultaneously continuing down its current path. is results in several realms containing what if? realities. ese realities, which are like our own, but di erent by varying degrees, are known as alternate realities. ere are an in nite number of these alternate realities, as they branch o in nitely from our own resulting in endless alternate concurrent realities, and a cornucopia of possible futures. It is almost needless to mention that a variety of pasts exist, some (an in nite number) of the events of which result in their stream converging into this one, these are referred to as convergent histories, they are the result of some di erent sequence of events occurring that result in the same present. (It is in one of these histories that the being, Khanktythst, originated.)

Nature & Structure: Book I The Structure of the Universe

Figure 6 Note also that these branches have their own branches and so on in nitely, resulting in an image which would make a fractal geometrist cream in his pants. Again to note that this in nite branching occurs at an in nite rate along the line. (Figure 7 is omitted. To correctly depict even a single hairline undergoing the in nite branching in all directions would simply result in a page turned entirely black by fractal crosshatching.)

Nature & Structure: Book I The Structure of the Universe

Figure 8 e end (if it could be reached, the line is, of course, in nitely long) would appear like a Venn Diagram. e realities overlap in a certain manner, this is the reason why people, or places, or other forms of redundant information may exist in multiple realities. e further a branch diverges from the central column the more di erent it is. Of course there really is no further away from the central column due to the fact that they actually exist on top of eachother somehow (possibly due to di erent frequencies of vibration). is is what allows for both safe time travel and dimension hopping. ese things are a typical tool of Hollywood cinema and television shows, where, say; the protagonist goes back in time to a period in history (which is represented inaccurately), and causes a bunch of havoc, the e ects of which have no result when he returns to his original time, or when a man is taken to a world in which he was never born.

Nature & Structure: Book I The Structure of the Universe

Figure 9 As we y further away from this action of fractal generation of the in nite we see that the result of the movement of the original tuna can (beer can) along the line (in the process of in nite branching), appears like a column (or rod), which is in nitely long. is rod contains all that is and may be, as well as all that could be, all that was, all that might have been, and all that might be. It also contains a lot of stu (in nite) that wasnt, isnt, and will not be, (at least from the perspective of path we are moving down). Of course not only one of these rods exist, (to stop at this point would be a bit presumptuous) but an in nite number of them exist in a giant eld.

Nature & Structure: Book I The Structure of the Universe

Figure 10-11 As we move away still further, it becomes apparent the at eld is, again, in actuality, a sphere. is is what permits the pillars to be in nitely long. e sha s are not actually straight at all but rather, twisted around eachother and coiled up. e whole mess resembles a giant ball of yarn sealed in glass, as per Figure 11. It is believed that this sphere contains not only all that is and all that isnt, but also contains all that could, was, and ever will be imagined/thought/ conceived.

Figure 12-14 Of course, not only one of these orbs exist, but an in nite number of them, clustered together like grains of sand in an in nite beach ( g. 12). is beach is two-dimensional (for all intents and purposes) and are stacked on top of one another (in nitely) into a giant cube (as if a stack of paper)( g.14). Outside of this cube, I have not seen. I can only imagine a threedimensional tessellation of cubes, which when stacked, result in a larger cube, which I can only then imagine being stacked in nitely with other similar cubes resulting in a, yet again, larger cube &c.

Introduction is, once again, is a work of metaphysical postulation, by no means to be taken as fact, but only to be taken under consideration during occult experimentation. It has come to my understanding, through the observation of beings superior to mortals, that there are 5 skills by which all entities interact with their environment. It is also through the use of these powers (or skills/sciences/arts/what-have-you), that miraculous e ects can be produced. All living creatures are to some means equipped with all of these skills, individuals, however, may be more pro cient in some such power or another as to raise themselves up to godly status. O en, very powerful beings are pro cient in several of these skills, as will be seen below; the skills o en overlap, or provide bene ts to each other.

Nature & Structure: Book II The Nature of Power-Levels

Part 1 e 5 Powers (or sciences, or arts) And eir Respective Functions e First Power (Spirum) Spirum is the spiritual power, though the title seems to imply that it is a spiral power. is is the power exhibited by priests and other religious personnel, who have preformed miraculous e ects due to their piety and allegiance to some particular demon/deity/god/&c. or another. e function is actually performed by the god through the medium of the miracle-worker. e Priest himself is merely a sort of lens. e most clear and obvious use of this power is the attainment of enlightenment. Raising ones power level in the science of spirum brings one with each step closer to godhead and uni cation with their original deity. Other powers (including all the e ects of magic) are produced by spirum, most o en related to healing and other bene cial works, however when great entities are moved to action, the disciples of their order have o en been known to produce devastating weather, and plagues which wipe out nations. e Second Power (Mentum) Mentum is the power of the mind, what is o en referred to as the psychic power. is power constitutes all the powers of the mind including the very ability to think. Mentum is the power, which di erentiates the mind from other minds, as well as it is the power that allows the mind to have intercourse with other minds. It is the ability of the mind to e ect its self, and to e ect other minds. e most basic function of this art is the reception and transmission of thought (nonverbally). It has been also known to produce e ects of Premonition and prophecy. Mentum is highly sensory in nature and is o en used as a form of communication. It is also not unknown for practitioners of the arts of mentum to perform feats of levitation of the self and other objects, as well as various molecular e ects causing vibrations and so forth to produce heat, cold and high pitched frequencies. Very powerful creatures have even been known to completely rearrange atoms in such a manner as to completely transform one substance into

Nature & Structure: Book II The Nature of Power-Levels

15

another. ird Power (Magum) Magum is the magical power. e exact nature of what magic is and how it works is o en a deal of great debate, of which the solution is usually well, it works, and thats that. I venture here to say only that magic has something to do with anyone or anythings place in the myriad universes (as described above) at any given time and their e ect on causality. rough the use of magic many miraculous e ects of many types can be produced by any number of processes. e most common practice of magic to summon a supernatural or extradimensional being, and through the use of a sort of binding process, force them to go out and accomplish ones bidding. is can be used to great e ect because other worldly creatures are o en privy to abilities and knowledge we earth bound are not. e second process of magic is to directly contact the energy/element/object of desire, (wherever it may be) and transport it directly to the operator. is is used to e ect the bindings mentioned above. A form of restrictive energy is channeled by the magician and utilized to contain and manipulate the target entity. is type of direct summoning can be done also with the familiar 5 elements of Hermeticisim, as well as planetary and zodiacal forces, and even other abstract ideas/energies. Direct summoning can also be used to summon treasures or secrets. e only real di erence between indirect summoning (the summoning of a creature to do ones bidding) and direct summoning (the summoning of the desired object) is whether the operator actually interacts with an intelligent energy or a placid one. In short magic is a multilevel process of summoning. e Fourth Power (Vitum) e fourth power is the physical power. e power of the body (that is to say the physical body, as opposed to the astral vehicle). I should, for the most part, not need to describe this ability as I imagine most of my audience has at least some control of their body and its functions. Increase in vital power results most commonly in the increase of physical strength. rough specialized training, practice can increase speed and can also increase exibility (to the point of e

Nature & Structure: Book II The Nature of Power-Levels

16

contortionism). Other, more esoteric practices have been known to increase bone density, produce healing e ects, and even perform miraculous feats. e Fi h Power (Technum) e h power of technum is in a way not a power at all; at the same moment it is the all-binding power. Technum is the use of technique. ere is a di erence between raw power and the use of technique, a 5-foot-tall, skinny, old, kung fu master can easily defeat a 7-foot-tall, burly, young man on the highschool wrestling team. Technique applies its self to all of the other powers, but the most recognizable use of technum is in its purity. In its pure form technum is manifest as technology, which, as we have all seen does indeed produce miraculous e ects, causing men to y safely and the like. Technum is composed of math, chemistry, alchemy, and basically all things referred to as modern science. I should not have to discuss this power much further, as everyone should be well familiar with the concept of technology and technique, as we for the most part, experience it everyday. e Sixth Power (which is not a power at all) e sixth power is not a power at all, and like technum it is strange in that it e ects all powers. Occasionally beings are born that are irregular, and are possessed of some unnatural expertise in some power or another. Usually the birth, and subsequent life of these types of beings causes much turmoil.

Part 2 e 5 Powers (or sciences, or arts) And eir Respective Energies. As we have come to understand in this day and age (thanks to electricity, automobiles, and Newtonian Physics) No e ect can be created without an expenditure of energy (of some kind). I venture out now to de ne the various energies required in the use of the 5 Sciences. e First Power (Spirum) e rst power is the god force spirum. Generally this power comes directly from the original entity, channeled directly into its o spring, and usually thereby using the inferior entity as a nger to work its will upon the world. Certain inferior entities that have not received much spiral energy from their original entity have been known to form religions, and gather the spirit energy from other mortals, thereby increasing their power. is spiral/spirit energy is measured in Sols, which seems to imply that a single unit of Sol energy is equal to the energy of our sun (and it may well). It is assumed that a single unit of Sol is equal to the energy of a single mortal soul, that is, the energy produced by the average devotionalist when engaged in intense prayer. e title of Sol also seems to give some implication that the sun is the original entity from which the Earth came. An individual can increase their sol-power by identifying their original entity and identifying themselves with it (through puri cation/prayer/&c.). e Second Power (Mentum) e mental power is the force of will and concentration. It is measured in units referred to as Psychs. A single Psych is equivalent to the entire mental power of the average mortal. e average human being, if drained of one psych worth of energy, may not die, but would de nitely fall into a coma of indeterminate length. Most people with a nity for psychic talents generally have minds with power levels measuring several psychs, though this does not imply

Nature & Structure: Book II The Nature of Power-Levels

18

necessarily that everyone worth more than a single psych is elevated beyond the mortal level. e psy-power of the mind can be increased through constant practice of intense meditation, and other mindreading games. ird Power (Magum) e magical power (as above stated), e ects causality and location of objects in the myriad universes. Many people familiar with occult and magical practices have heard of the silver string, also referred to as a grounding chord. is silver string, anchors the being to their real body and their location and time in the myriad universes. What has been told, is that this string is used to return to the body a er dreaming or travelling in the spirit vision. e strings are composed of a substance of pure magic known as Mana and the web-like overlay of the in nite strings of the in nite things in the in nite upon in nite universes very well constructs all that is. Mana is pure magical energy and is the very substance of which the myriad universes are made. By manipulating the energy known as mana one can pull strings, and pull entities and objects out of other universes (hopefully under controlled circumstances), and also control them. e Mana of an individual creature cannot be increased, only the individuals perception of it and its e ects. Only can the operators ability to use more of it increases. e Fourth Power (Vitum) Vitum is the physical power of the body, which can of course be increased through rigorous exercise. is is given to all kinds of customary measurements utilized by modern science (Pounds/sq. inch and the like). Weightli ers and other athletes generally have their own ways of measuring their advancement, generally involving some kind of standard or metric measurement, or some other device or milestone for accomplishment (bench press 200 pounds, break 20 bricks, &c.). Vitum can be increased greatly through many eastern practices including yoga and the martial arts. e yogis call the vital force prana which crudely translated means breath, it is increased through e

Nature & Structure: Book II The Nature of Power-Levels

19

the use of breathing exercises, the yogis believe however that like mana, one can only achieve the ability to use more. Martial artists refer to the vital power as the Chi or Ki, they believe this power can be increased. e practice of martial arts or yoga is excellent for the attainment of the mystic abilities ascribed to the science of vitum. e Fi h Power (Technum) e power of technum is the power of technology and technique, but also of experience. Technum is measured by whatever the most conventional system of measurement is to the practitioner. e knowledge of technum increases in the practitioner in every moment that he lives. From the moment the being is born the information it takes in will shape its understanding of how to use the objects around him. Technum is really powered by math, but to a lesser degree, is powered by electricity (or money).

Part 3 e 5 Powers (or sciences, or arts) And How they are acquired in the creation of the entity. e First Power (Spirum) e god is at rst whole and holy. created out of the substance of it. e being is eventually

e Second Power (Mentum) e god then talks to its self, and establishes that thought as a thought di erent from its own. e thought too, recognizes (believes) its self as an entity separate from the god. ird Power (Magum) e being then establishes that it is a point separate and di erent in position than the god. e Fourth Power (Vitum) e being becomes a body (or comes to inhabit one). e Fi h Power (Technum) When the being is born into one of the myriad universes it begins to learn how to function in that time space and dimensionality. e Sixth Power (which is not a power at all) Occasionally when a being is born it is gi ed with powers, or cursed with de ciencies. It is unknown what causes this precisely, potentially parentage, or the interference of a superior entity (possibly the original god). e

Nature & Structure: Book II The Nature of Power-Levels

21

Part 4 e 5 Powers (or sciences, or arts) And eir Respective Appendages. When an individual attains a certain degree of power, (an amount equal to and surpassing the highest beings of their order) and attains this power all in the discipline of one of the 5 sciences, the astral (or subtle) body of the individual begins to develop a new appendage, representational of the power. Since the amount of power that increases in the individual is so great upon the individuals ascension to a higher order of being, the being grows this appendage to serve as a body (or battery) to contain this new strength (in this manner the entity does not simply explode as their power level suddenly shoots through the roof). e physical body of the individual may or may not give signs of these types of appendages (but occasionally does). e First Power (Spirum) e appendage related to the rst power is at once the most di cult to discern. e appendage earned for attainment in the spiral science is a halo/corona. is is most di cult both to identify and measure. Signs of ones holiness can take many forms. A halo might be seen as a sun behind the head (as in paintings of Jesus and various saints), or above the head (as Egyptian gods), or a ring above the head (as angels o en appear in illustrations). e oating ring type halo can easily be worn as a crown; a crown can consist of even the most meager hat (an yamulka {skullcap} for example). Even a being with especially radiant or glowing hair may be cleverly attempting to disguise their holiness. A ag or standard may also be a halo in disguise (especially if the entity is attended by a legion of subservient spirits); although this is not necessarily so, as a ag might easily be a wing, or a tool. Even a simple aura may be a halo in disguise; if the being observed appears constantly luminesced by it. is power is especially di cult to measure as well. e appendages must be worn, but the being may wear them however they please. As a result, entities o en wear their appendages deceptively. Powerful beings are o en known to appear in relatively ordinary

Nature & Structure: Book II The Nature of Power-Levels

22

appearances, whereas lesser beings are o en known to make one appendage appear as though it were paired (usually for symmetrys sake). On this note the crown/halo is the most di cult to measure because the appendage is so easily stacked on top of its self. A good rule to follow, the more ornate the crown/the brighter the halo (aura), the more halos the being has stacked on top of one and other. What is true is the halo of a being of god status or above, that is purely spiral in nature (i.e. having no other appendages than the mortal, in addition to 13+ halos), even if wearing the halos as so ly glowing auras (about equivalent to a glow stick, stu ed inside of a sock), in its true form, would be positively blinding. Beings have also been known to wear this appendage as an ear (as the Buddhas long ears). is however is deceptive, as an oversized ear might easily be a wing, or an eye. Beings of high power levels are also o en attended by legions of subservient entities. is may not necessarily re ect their spiral power (as servants can easily be gained through political or monetary transactions and are not always a sign of accomplishment in the 5 powers), however the manner of dress and behavior of the servants can tell a lot about their master. It was just to note that another spiral sign is that the being may be attended by a pet, this is based on the type of pet, and the relationship the being has with the pet, as a pet might easily be the result of technum. It is also worth mentioning that halos, (or any other appendage for that matter) can be worn anywhere on the body. e Second Power (Mentum) Attainment in the mental discipline results in the appearance of the horn, or eye. is is a much easier thing to identify. Horns are o en depicted in pictures of devils and demons and many eastern deities and gods are o en depicted with, at least, one additional eye (as Shiva). Horns can o en appear as antennae, or other sorts of aerials (in the case of faeries and the like), horns however are typically worn in pairs, and are therefore di cult to measure. Eyes can also be stacked, like halos (as in the case of the eye of Horus) or worn in pairs. e servant of the goddess Hera is known as Argos. Argos has 100 eyes (which are most likely 10 eyes each worn as 10). It has also been

Nature & Structure: Book II The Nature of Power-Levels

23

proposed that each of the Buddhas curls is an eye (or halo). Eyes can also be closed and in this respect are di cult to discern from mouths (which can also be closed, and resemble scars). Due to the sensory nature of mentum, noses and ears can also be horns, but noses and ears can also be wings, and (as stated above) ears can also be halos. ird Power (Magum) e Magical power is evidenced by wings, or mouths. is relates somehow to the relationship between magic and an entitys position and causality in the myriad universes (the wing relating to position the mouth to e ect on causation). Wings are fairly easy to identify (though they come in myriad appearances), but are o en worn paired (in this respect making them deceptive to measurement). Mouths are o en closed making them fairly indi erentiable from closed eyes. Mouths o en come in many forms, a nose or probiscus may be sign of an additional mouth, even a forked tongue may be evidence of an enhanced mouth. Wings have also been known to make appearances as ns, ears, and ags keeping in mind the statements above. e Fourth Power (Vitum) e physical power is the only power which is almost guaranteed to e ect the appearance of the physical body. e physically accomplished generally show many outward signs of strength, health, and vitality. When an individual has attained the necessary power in the pursuit of vitum, the subtle body of the entity becomes gi ed with the new appendage of an arm. Many eastern deities are depicted with many arms (i.e. Kali), indicating their vast strength, and the Hekatonkheries were a race of hundred-handed beings whom helped Zeus to defeat the Titans. e vital power is the most deceptive to measurement, as arms might be manifest as hands or even as ngers. e human-mortal, wears one arm as two. Were the human to be fully actualized in the vital power (counting arms, hands, and ngers) is to imply 14 such appendages. e vital power is also evidenced by having multiple bodies, or transformitive forms, which e

Nature & Structure: Book II The Nature of Power-Levels

24

both in their own unique way are also di cult to measure or identify. Masters of vitum also o en adopt a pose symbolic of attainment, this pose, posture, or attitude is o en evidence of an additional body (i.e. the pose is the other body/striking the pose is a transformation/ &c.), this in not concrete however, as a pose/stance/ hand-sign may be evidence of a technique. e Fi h Power (Technum) When an individual has learned enough, that their experience is equal to and surpasses the highest being of that order, the being is said to have attained to the next level of technum. e most obvious representation of the advancement is the appearance of the tool (most o en a weapon); this represents the beings mastery of technology. e cup of Babalon, e hammer of or, the thunderbolt of Zeus, the armaments of Athena, the chariot of Merkaba; many gods are o en depicted with tools (Kali holds a weapon in each of her many arms). Most great heroes (such as Perseus, and Arthur) have accomplished their deeds with some sort of magical weapons or equipment. e most deceptive trait of the appendage of the tool is its ease of concealment. A tool neednt be a hammer, or a sword, or a wheel. A tool might be an idea, or an equation, or a symbol (in which case, it would be easy to fold up a bit of paper, and stick it in your pocket). A trained animal, an olive branch, and even a rock, might also be tools.

Some Further Examples e following examples are provided to give some idea of the above mentioned appendages and their various depictions in art/symbolism. Fig.1 Baphomet: Two horns Two wings Two crowns Goat headed (body?) Hermaphroditic (body?) Tattooed with various symbols (technum?) Yogic posture (body/technique?)

Fig.2

e eye of Horus An example of a stacked eye. It has been postulated that the eye alone may represent two eyes and two mouths. Fig.3 e eye of Xsanktythst. Another example of a stacked appendage. Also an example of the deceptivity of mouths/eyes. e scars surrounding the eye of Xcanktvthst are not eyes (as in the eye of Horus), but rather wings, worn upon the face as closed mouths.

27

Fig.4 Athena Athena sprung fully armed from the head of Zeus, and is the goddess of civilization. Her many tools are an obvious representation of her skill with technology. Athena is also one of the virgin goddesses. It is di cult to say if this virginity is a technique, radiance (halo) or a skill of the body (arm).

Fig.6 Jesus (cruci ed) e image of Jesus cruci ed, as deity is chock-full of subtle appendages, and is a good example of a powerful entity masquerading as a weak one. Jesus wears a Halo, and a crown (and his long hair is possibly a third crown). Jesus appears on a cross (which is a tool), in the Tau pose (which is a technique and/or body). e 5 wounds are most likely mouths.

Fig.8 Ganesh Ganesh has several arms, which typically hold several tools. He wears several crowns, stacked high within eachother. He has the head of an elephant (two tusks [horns], big ears [wings/halos/eyes], and a trunk [nose/mouth], the head its self, may be a body), and is sometimes depicted with the third eye of Shiva on his forehead. Ganesh typically stands in some sort of yogic posture (body/technique), and stands upon a mouse (which is a pet [tech/spir], but also shows technique, or body mastery, as an elephant could not stand upon a mouse without crushing it to death).

And

Part 5 e 5 Powers (or sciences, or arts) eir correspondence to the 5 Elements, with a note on the practical application of all of this.

As with other symbols in a ve-part scheme, the 5 powers can be expressed in a way corresponding to the 5 elements of Hermeticism and occult study. ese are the traditional elements of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth, the h element being Spirit or Aethyr. I will not here go into a study of the ve elements, as this is not actually a study of 5 element symbolism. It is worth note however, that the order in which the 5 virtues are received in the creation of an entity are di erent from the typical Tetragrammaton scheme for the creation of the world, (the former being ShHIHV, and the latter being IHShVH). e understanding of the powers, and the ability to identify and measure (or at least make rational hypothesis in regards to) the appendages, and understands how this information may relate to the elemental, planetary, or zodiacal disposition of the entity observed, can assist the observer in identifying and classifying the being in question. is information may be of crucial assistance to the miracleworker in controlling/defeating/restraining/healing/interacting with the being. e First Power (Spirum) e spirit power is of course associated with the element of spirit. I believe thats just about all I have to say about that. e Second Power (Mentum) e second power is the power of the mind. In this way it is linked symbolically to the cup, and therefore the element of water. ird Power (Magum) Magic is the power of initiation and initiative, in this way, it is linked to the element of re. e

e Fourth Power (Vitum) e physical body is of course, physical, much like the physical realm in which we exist. e corpse is representative of the sign of earth. e Fi h Power (Technum) Technum is the analytical power of the mind, (whereas mentum is the minds power to hold and endure), it is therefore linked to the analytical element of air.

Chapter II e Orders of being according to their power level Introduction e following scale is not meant to demean or denounce anyones god. It is merely a conventional scale, devised by the being, Xhankthyst, and myself for the purposes of gauging entities observed in the spirit-vision. By this scale, one can have some guess at their own power level, and see how that relates to the power of the entity with which they have come into contact. is can give key information about how one should behave toward that being (as o ending a particularly strong creature can be most disastrous). Know also that there is an immense and uncorrected list of pre xes (or sublevels) to the following scale, these pre xes indicate how strong the being is within the order, and include various titles such as inferior and superior, (a note, that the entity which created our ball of yarn is a mere Demi-Urge [barely an urge at all], and whos strength nowhere compares with that of a Hyper-Urge [almost a Law]), but these sublevels are by far less important than the greater orders, and are, as a result, omitted.

Like the Richter scale, each subsequent level is exponentially more powerful than the rst. e Gnostri Scale. is is the order of beings (from lowest to highest). Level. Order. # Of appendages. Example. 1. Mortal, the Hand (worn as a body) 0 (Zero). e Common man. 2. Monster, 1. An exceptionally gi ed man, or any animal capable of easily killing a man. 3. Wizard, 2. Batman nu said. 4. Immortal, 3. A vampire (though not one of godly stature), or any creature to which being killed, in the ordinary fashion, is not a threat, and/or otherwise extremely di cult. 5. Spirit, 4. As though a soldier in the legions of some Goetic spirit king. 6. Elemental, 5. A Djinn, Efreet, or Goetic spirit king. 7. Dervish, 6. A saint. 8. Dragon, 7. An incredibly powerful entity, but still ultimately defeatable 9. Demon, 8. Angels. 10. Devil, 9. Archangels. 11. Deity, 10. Holy Names. 12. Titan, 11. e beings which originally threatened Zeus. 13. Godling, 12. Half-god; Herakles, Perseus, Jesus. 14. God, 13. Elohim (as an order), the Greek and Egyptian gods. 15. Urge, 14. e being which ultimately created our universe, including all the gods and everything (possibly on the ball of yarn level). 16. Law, 15. Some kind of insanely powerful entity, which even urges must obey. 17. Unlimited, ?. I dont even want to begin to venture to guess.

At some point (probably several orders beyond Unlimited), is the ultimate-all-that-is, god-force entity which Ksangthvst calls , which he claims is the highest being with any form of consciousness, (the only entity greater being her mother {who is presumed unconcious}), because he says: Even gods dont want to lose their balance. is Endeth the second part of the Book, which is known as Nature of Power-Levels (Dynamology). e
