First of all3 the 0ower of all magic3 left-hand3 right-hand3 light or dar.3 it all comes from the same 0lace6 some would ha%e you belie%e that the origin of dar. magic is 7atan3 but it is sim0ly not true. 7atan3 as the word had originated from the 0lanet 7aturn3 but that is all there is to it. "he source of magic is not the 8e%il nor it is an anthromor0hic3 40ersonal4 9od3 the real source is ali%e within all of us3 and it is the slice of the di%ine3 the essence of the infinite. uch that is written on the sub:ect of magical 0henomena is o%er hy0ed3 regurgitated %ersion of the old boo.s of "antric te1ts3 ;nochian3 Chaos or 7e1 magic3 or the 0ublished material is either on Wicca or 7hamanism with some new age s0irituality mi1ed in. y main concern with most magic boo.s is that most of them loo. at the world as something that you need to control. For e1am0le when we get into mi1ing dro0s of your blood with clay in order to charge the sym0athetic actor alas 0erform some charm then you are going in a wrong direction3 on the wrong 0ath. "rue high magic is in harmony with other ;arth3 all the elements3 the 0eo0le and all de%ic entities. 9aining se1ual gratification %ia charms is not beneficial3 harmony is. <f course3 se1 sells3 it is hard to find a 0erson who will come out and say no to se1. He will be 3 laughed u0on and ostraci=ed... howe%er in my boo. 5 bra%ed this trend3 henceforth the reader will find %ery little material of these 0ractices. 5 do not hold negati%e o0inion on these other 0ractices but 5 am here to offer something fresh3 something safer and 0ro%en. 5n reality3 true3 high magic is the 0ractical a00lication of the Ancient Wisdom. 5n my research and 0ractice 5 followed no school3 co%en or religious 0hiloso0hy. 5 felt that there was a great need for a com0rehensi%e and u0dated boo. on true men- made 0henomena of the su0ernatural. 5n this boo. you might find the 0henomena a little more mundane and down to earth3 yet the 0ur0ose of this boo. is to teach the reader e%ery techni>ue and craft that can create true miracles in his life. 5n this boo. 5 will not attem0t to e10lain 0henomena3 using science or 0seudoscience. 5 write on sub:ects that 5 ha%e experienced to be true. 5 sim0ly state6 there are immeasurable energies ?%ibrations@ that e1ist3 yet scientifically not >uantifiable using current technologies. "hese %ibrations are the foundations and the cornerstone of all in%isible 0henomena3 such as the aura3 astral body etc. Words3 numbers3 colors3 sounds all %ibrate and ha%e im0act u0on our mind and s0irit. 7ome 0eo0le who ha%e well de%elo0ed inner sight - the third eye center is o0ened3 hence they can see the auras and other gly0hs of energies most cannot. "he 0ractice of high magic is life affirming and >uite liberating. 5t confirms the e1istence of a higher 0ower and also re-affirms our constant connection to this 0ower. 5 found that s0irituality alone is not as sought after sub:ect as certain 0ractical a00lications of consciousness. en see. tangible3 useful ideas that can hel0 them co0ing and managing in our / increasingly challenging en%ironment. Achie%ing godAs consciousness is a noble goal3 howe%er it is not as easy as 0racticing magic. We ha%e anchors that .ee0 us connected to this realm3 certain desires and wishes will .ee0 us from achie%ing enlightenment yet while we are struggling to o%ercome these3 we can reinforce our faith by 0racticing magic. "he reader will note that conclusion of this boo. are %ery often in contrast of the commonly acce0ted theory and conclusion of the mainstream media. 5 will cite sources that 0lace the framewor. of this boo. into historical conte1t yet there will be %ery little su00orting literature to bac. u0 what is said in this boo.. "his is mainly because the facts about natureAs laws and con%ectional 4wisdom4 ha%e %ery little in common. ost of the ideas and facts were of my own findings and there is %ery little information out there to su00ort what this boo. states. "o some 0eo0le this is a warning sign to others it is the sign of a genuine and uni>ue material. 5 ha%e been studying and 0racticing the Ancient Wisdom initially under the tutelage of my teacher and lately on my own. According to my teacher who was clairaudient and clair%oyant my s0iritual origins were from the 7irius star system3 the dog star. "his ma.es me feel real old. 5 first became interested in magic after reading the boo. from Paramhansa Bogananda3 the Autobiography of a Yogi. 5n his boo. the author describes the 0erfume saint3 a reclusi%e yogi who 0roduced any fragrance the audience re>uested. 5 ha%e noticed the innocent nature of the magic. $oftier3 more selfish goals might not wor. with the 0ractitioner who 0ractices the right-hand 0ath. BogonandaAs im0ression on magic was not com0limentary3 he sought it as distraction from enlightenment which is3 in his o0inion our ultimate ( goal and birthright. 5 am 0artially in agreement with Bogonanda. Focusing on ones effort to 0erform a 0henomena is seemingly an idle and useless 0ursuit. <n the other hand what about the countess obser%ers to whom this 0henomena might germinate something. 5t maybe a trigger to something bigger3 in which case you3 the magician3 are ser%ing a higher 0ur0ose . Bes3 reading this boo. the ultimate goal should be enlightenment not showing off your su0ernatural s.ills but learning certain s.ills is em0owering and beneficial and would get you well on the 0ath of your ultimate goal which is oneness with god3 the ultimate magic tric.. # a Brief History of Magic "Man is arrogant in proportion of his ignorance. " ;dward-Bullwer $ytton en ha%e always stri%ed to control nature and the elements. "he earliest shamans3 before the e1istence of any organi=ed religionAs sought to heal the sic. and get rain when the cro0s needed or otherwise render weather more fa%orable to their 0ursuits and lifestyle. "hese holy men had the lu1ury of ignore hunting or fighting 0arties3 they did not need to toil the land3 their needs were met by the community. 7o they had the time and lu1ury to s0end all their time with contem0lati%e 0ursuits. "his was a lu1ury then as it is undoubtedly a lu1ury today. "hose who followed and learned the tenets of the Ancient Wisdom3 e%entually also mastered the 0ractice right-hand magic. "his usually consisted of communicating and wor.ing with the elements and elementaries. Certain men who were o0en minded and intelligent found out that most things that were im0ortant and elusi%e were not always %isible and more often than not were out of their control. With res0ect and careful ca:oling the holy men learned to coe1ist and harness the elements %ia their s0irit 0ro1ies. "he .ey word was always res0ect and coe1istence. "hese early holy men were not anointed by any 0ower-structure or leader. "hey e1isted at the side of the head of the tribe offering guidance and fortune telling3 healing and rainma.ing among other things. "hese men e%entually learned which herbs were beneficial and which were 0oison3 how to 0rotect their own from the hostility of others while offering useful and 0ractical guidance to the ! members of the tribe and its leader. As tribal life became more structured and earth became more 0o0ulous these scattered tribes e%entually mor0hed into .ingdoms or 0rinci0alities. What commonality e1isted in most of these early human societies were the benign nature of the ruler. "he rulers3 while wielded ultimate 0ower and control o%er their sub:ects were often benign and held the welfare and 0ros0erity of their 0eo0le to a high regard. As the role of the ultimate ruler was handed down from generations to generations3 >uite often the royal family had connections to the higher worlds and higher beings. "hey were the e1tended arm of the white brotherhood that e1isted since the dawn of times. "he intermediaries between the royal family and the white brotherhood were always the magician3 the consigliere3 the seer and ad%isor to the .ing and his family. At times3 the dar. forces gained access to a member of the royal family and by brewing ill content and animosity among brothers and sisters they instigated .in against .in3 son against the father. -ns0ea.able acts were done between the royal families in %ying for 0ower and wealth3 but more often than not the dar. forces were behind the scene controlling the e%ents and their main 0ur0ose was to hinder and interru0t the hierarchy of the light. "he most famous magician was erlin3 from the Anglo tradition of 2ing Arthur. erlin first a00ears in 9eoffrey of onmouthAs Historia Regum Britanniae3 written around 113#3 and is based on an amalgamation of 0re%ious historical and legendary figures de0icting the relationshi0 between the royal family and the holy-man who ad%ises the family3 tells the fortune and guides the monarchy through tic. and thin. + <ften the royalty itself 0racticed magic and the Ancient Wisdom. 5n the case of Cleo0atra 1 she sideste00ed the intermediary and as the 0riestess of Philae ' 3 she acted as ruler and sorceress as one. 7he managed to beguile two &oman leaders 3 to .ee0 ;gy0t inde0endent and free from foreign rule. History 0ortrayed her as enchantress and mani0ulator of men but the little .nown facts that the history boo.s failed to catch on was her intimate .nowledge of the Ancient Wisdom and magic. 7he was well %ersed in the ;gy0tian and Hellenistic mysteries and %ery 0o0ular among her 0eo0le. Cleo0atraAs father Auletes was a direct descendant of Ale1ander the 9reatAs general3 Ptolemy 5 7oter3 son of Arsinoe and $acus3 both of acedonian heritage. As such3 Cleo0atraAs bac.ground was the 9ree. s0o.en by the Hellenic aristocracy3 though she was .nown to be the first ruler of the dynasty to learn ;gy0tian. 7he also ado0ted common ;gy0tian beliefs and 0ractices. Her 0atron goddess was 5sis3 and thus3 during her reign3 it was belie%ed that she was the re-incarnation and embodiment of the goddess of wisdom. Christianity and the decline of the &oman ;m0ire slowly forced magic underground. Anyone with a whiff of alchemy3 natural science li.e astronomy3 that the church disa00ro%ed was in gra%e danger. "he church considered 9nosis of transcendental god3 science3 the dar. arts and the Ancient Wisdom in the same category. 8angerous and forbidden. Anyone who wanted to learn or see more was labeled a witch and had to confess under torture. )otable e1ce0tion to this was the mysterious 8r. 8ee3 who was Cueen ;li=abethDs court astrologer 1 Cleopatra VII Philopator ' an island in the Nile Riverand the previous site of an Egyptian temple complex in southern Egypt 3 Julius Caesar and Mark ntony !after Caesar"s death# , and the occult architect of the British ;m0ire. 8r. Eohn 8ee commingled the worlds of science and magic :ust as they were becoming distinguishable. <ne of the most learned men of his age3 he had been in%ited to lecture on ad%anced algebra at the -ni%ersity of Paris while still in his early twenties. 8ee howe%er de%oted much of his life to the study of alchemy3 di%ination3 and Hermetic 0hiloso0hy. Contemporary Magicians 5t is not easy to com0ile a list of names worth mentioning in modern western occult 0ractice in the same boo. that mentions Count 7t. 9ermain but we will try e1actly that. Samuel Liddell Macregor Mathers 7amuel $iddell ?or $iddel@ 4ac9regor4 athers3 born as 7amuel $iddell ?Eanuary3 1+(/ F )o%ember3 1,1+@3 was a famous magician and one of the most influential figures in modern <ccultism. He is 0rimarily .nown as one of the founders of the Hermetic <rder of the 9olden 8awn3 a ceremonial magic order whose offshoots still e1ist today. Arthur !dward Waite Arthur ;dward Waite ?<ctober '3 1+(! - ay 1,3 1,/'@ was an occultist and co-creator of the 0o0ular and widely used &ider-Waite "arot dec. and author of its com0anion %olume3 the Pictorial 2ey to the "arot. "his was notable for being one of the first dec.s to illustrate all !+ cards fully3 as o00osed to the '' ma:or arcana. Waite was a 0rolific author with many of his 1* wor.s being well recei%ed in academic circles. He wrote occult te1ts on sub:ects including di%ination3 &osicrucianAs3 freemasonry3 blac. and ceremonial magic3 2abbalism and alchemy6 he also translated and reissued se%eral im0ortant mystical and alchemical wor.s. His wor.s on the Holy 9rail3 influenced by his friendshi0 with Arthur achen3 were 0articularly notable. A number of his %olumes remain in 0rint3 "he Boo. of Ceremonial agic3 "he Holy 2abbalah3 and )ew ;ncyclo0edia of Freemasonry ha%ing seen re0rints in recent years. Austin "sman Spare Austin <sman 70are was an artist3 0hiloso0her and occult magician. $i.e Aleister Crowley with whom he had a brief association3 70are was a genius in his own time una00reciated and %ilified by a society that could little understand him. His was the ins0iration that led to the formation of the A5lluminates of "hanaterosA ?5<"@ in ;ngland in the late 1,!*Ds and the 0ractice of what is now .nown as Chaos agic. #ran$ %ardon Fran= Bardon ?8ecember 13 1,*, F Euly 1*3 1,(+@.

Additionally there was a fourth wor. attributed to him by the title of Frabato the agician3 su00osed to be a fictional autobiogra0hy3 though the factuality of its contents and its authorshi0 are >uestionable. "he story is set in 8resden3 9ermany3 in the early 1,3*s3 it chronicles FrabatoAs magical battles with the members of a 0owerful and dangerous 11 blac. lodge3 his esca0e from 9ermany during the final des0erate days of the Weimar &e0ublic3 and the beginning of the s0iritual mission which was to culminate in Fran= BardonAs classic boo.s on Hermetic magic. ore than an occult no%el3 Frabato the agician is itself a wor. of magic which illuminates BardonAs other boo.s as well as 0ro%iding a re%ealing loo. into the dar. occult forces which lay behind the rise of the "hird &eich. BardonAs boo.s are most notable for their sim0licity3 their relati%ely small theoretical sections3 and hea%y em0hasis on 0ractice with many e1ercises. Peo0le in the 4tradeA consider him to ha%e written the best training 0rograms of any magician of the '*th century. "hey were written with the intention of allowing students who wished to 0ractice magic the means to do so if they could not study under a teacher3 a 0ath which Bardon recommended. !liphas Le&i ;li0has $e%i ?the 0en name of AbbG $ouis Constant3 1+1*-1+!(@3 was a French occultist who is credited for re%i%ing interest in magic in the 1,th century. His first and 0robably most im0ortant wor. was "he 8ogma and &itual of High agic which was the ins0iration of the boo. you are reading. 5t was followed by A History of agic3 "ranscendental agic3 "he 2ey of 9reat ysteries3 and others. $e%i belie%ed in the e1istence of a uni%ersal Asecret doctrineA of magic throughout history3 e%erywhere in the world. $e%i wrote that he was influenced by an earlier writer and occultist Francis Barrett. 5n turn he had influenced another writer and occultist 'ir #dward Bulwer()ytton3 with whom he %isited in $ondon in 1' 1+#1. Bulwer-$ytton wrote "he $ast 8ays of Pom0eii and other occult boo.s hel0ing to ma.e magic fashionable to the last of the 1,th century. "hey both became members of an occult grou03 which 0erha0s Bulwer-$ytton may ha%e organi=ed3 that studied scrying3 magic3 astrology3 and mesmerism. 5n his 0o0ularity $e%i drew a strong following3 influencing others to write their own boo.s. Around the turn of the century se%eral 0rominent esoteric 0ersonalities were ascendant3 mainly in the -nited 2ingdom. <ne such 0erson was 5srael &egardie6 once a 0ersonal secretary and disci0le of Aleister Crowley3 &egardie bro.e their relationshi0 and became in%ol%ed with the order of Hermetic <rder of the 9olden 8awn. $eft-hand magic became synonymous with the nefarious rise of the "hird &eich. "he connection between )a=ism and the occult ha%e been meticulously e1amined and e10loited. "he earliest and most notable was the boo. titled !he Morning of the Magicians was first 0ublished as )e Matin des magiciens. Written by $ouis Pauwels and Eac>ues Bergier in 1,#*. "his boo. started the subse>uent research of the occult connection of )a=ism and occult magic. While the !he Morning of the Magicians became a best seller in France3 the wild ideas and outrageous claims3 notably the cons0iracy theories and lin.ing the )a=i 0arty with the Hril / 3 drew criticism and negati%e re%iews. "he 0ositi%e as0ects of the boo. was that it 0a%ed the way for honest :ournalism and research that we now acce0t as historical facts. / Vril is a su$stance descri$ed in Ed%ard &ul%er'(ytton"s )*+) novel The Coming Race, %hich %as later reprinted as Vril: The Power of the Coming Race 13 "here was one documentary, Hitler*s 'earch for the Holy +rail, includes footage from the 1,3, 9erman e10edition to "ibet. "he documentary describes it as 4the most ambitious e10edition4 of the 77. "he renowned <1ford historian )icholas 9oodric.-Clar.eAs seminal wor. !he -ccult Roots of .a/ism describes HitlerAs inner circle as occultists who 0er%erted the Ancient Wisdom and turned it u0side down. Hitler has his own dar. guru who used the ancient symbols but he carefully changed them to gain the su00ort from the dar. forces. Fore e1am0le the most famous symbol of )a=ism3 the ancient "ibetan 7wasti.a was changed. Amusingly3 des0ite the %ehement denial from the seculars the e1istence of the su0ernatural 0owers3 during World War 55 British 5ntelligence3 in fact3 in%ited many occultists into its ran.s because it needed their s0ecialist .nowledge and s.ills. Cecil Williamson was the founder of both the Witchcraft &esearch Center which was a 0art of 5#As war against )a=i 9ermany3 and the useum of Witchcraft. 5n addition the assistant director of )a%al 5ntelligence during the war was $t. Commander 5an Fleming &)3 best .nown later as a thriller writer and the creator of the famous fictional s0y Eames Bond **!. Fleming was also interested in astrology and numerology and he was a friend of the notorious magician Aleister Crowley3 who had wor.ed for 5# during World War 5 and in the 1,'*s and 1,3*s s0ying on 9ermans with shared occult interests. 5f you consider the facts about the meteoric rise and military successes of the "hird &eich3 the numerous unsuccessful attem0ts on HitlerAs life there could be %ery little doubt in oneAs mind on some su0ernatural su00ort. "he ;nglish3 at least 1/ too. this seriously. With the hel0 of unseen and tireless wor. of the White Brotherhood3 the good guys won. ost historians agree and ac.nowledge how close it was3 es0ecially in the conte1t of the recent disco%eries of the ad%ent of 9erman roc.et technologies and 9erman efforts of harnessing and wea0oni=ing the 0ower of the atom. 5n contem0orary times magic and the ancient wisdom became %ery 0o0ular. ost of the classic boo.s were re0ublished new ones were written saying much the same as the ancient te1ts e1ce0t using more contem0orary 0hrases and linguistics. "he $aw of Attraction and the other boo.s on the 0ower of the mind ( were dug u0 and romantici=ed. <0rah3 the 0atron saint of writers and )ew Age aficionados3 hel0ed to commerciali=e much of the ideas and conce0ts that relate to magic. ost of that material is incom0lete and hence inaccurate3 by focusing on form rather than the dee0 source of magic residing in all of us. ( the Ne% -hought movement 1( !he Foundation of Magic "!he moti$ating power, then, in all magical operations, is the trained will of the magician. All ad0uncts of 1eremonial Magic ( lights, colours, circles, triangles, perfumes ( are merely aids to concentrate the will of the magician into a bla/ing stream of pure energy." Francis 2ing3 &itual agic in ;ngland &eal magic is often seemingly mundane and ambiguous. "he biggest talent of the magician is to 0erform magic and ma.e it loo. li.e luc. or ha00enstance. "here is an old saying about the most cunning tric. the de%il e%er achie%ed was to 0romulgate the wides0read belief the he did not e1ist. <f course there is no de%il3 but there are the dar. forces3 entities on the lower realms and of course there is $ucifer but that is all there is to it. 7imilarly3 the real magician3 es0ecially one who follows the right-hand 0ath3 has no intention of becoming famous or e%en to show off his talent. "here are rare e1ce0tions to this li.e -ri 9eller who can bend metal for.s with the 0ower of his mind. <thers ha%e no 0ower to do such feats but they are masters of hy0nosis3 e%en on the scale of an auditorium full of 0eo0le. While it is true that that which is .nown as 4magic4 has always been mi1ed u0 with a mass of credulity3 su0erstition3 and meaningless forms and ceremonies and e%en frauds and charlatans3 the close student will see that these anomalies and a00endages necessarily arose from the su0erstitions of the mass of the 0eo0le3 and to the %arious forms of 0rimiti%e religions that the sim0le 0eo0le had fostered during the 0rocession of the centuries and ages. "he magicians were nearly always 0riests in the 1# old days3 that being the only career o0en to them3 and one that enabled them to erect the barrier of 0rimiti%e religious rites between their wisdom and the ignorance of the masses. "o understand magic3 is to gain fundamental insight to what reality and real is. 5f you thin. our %ery e1istence is reality3 5 am here to burst your bubble. )othing we see or hear is real3 it is the result of our 0erce0tion and the illusion of the mind. "o 0ut it in another word3 all e10eriences are in the realm of the sub:ect-ob:ect 0roblem3 a longstanding 0hiloso0hical issue3 is concerned with the analysis of human e10erience3 and of what within e10erience is 4sub:ecti%e4 and what is 4ob:ecti%e4. "he sub:ect-ob:ect 0roblem is twofoldI firstly3 there is the >uestion of 4what4 do we .now3 and %ery recently this could be called the 4atri14 >uestion3 i.e.3 4How do we .now we are not li%ing in a 4matri14J "he second 0roblem is that of 4how4 do we .now what we .nowJ 7urely3 are 0erson with a mental disease has a sense of reality that is >uite different from the norm. How do we .now who is rightJ "herefore in the absolute esoteric sense3 all that we .now and thin. as real3 is in fact an illusion. Precisely because it is obser%ed by limited faculties i.e. the sub:ect-ob:ect human brain and secondly3 all that we thin. of real is finite and 0erishable. <ne second it e1ist then it is gone. 5s that real for youJ "he second might last a few million light years but that is only >uibbling o%er time. <ur uni%erse is finite3 all within the uni%erse is finite. We are3 as mortals3 and naturally are finite3 we all die one day. )othing is real e1ce0t 5nfinity3 i.e. 9od. "herefore wor.ing with this illusion as a magician must be >uite easy - all matter %ibrates and mo%es 1! around in a %arying s0eed. )othing is solid3 at the sub atomic le%el - an atom is mostly em0ty s0ace. All is malleable and can be controlled as all is the creation of our mind. "he wor.ings of the uni%erse as we .now it3 are the result of our su0er conscious3 the collecti%e mind. "he -ni%erse is emanated from 5nfinity i.e. 9od ha%ing all the innate di%ine characteristics 0resent but in some ways only a mirror image of the 4real thing4. What ma.es things feel solid when in fact e%erything is s0aceJ "o understand why my hand did not stic. to my .eyboard as 5 was ty0ing this cha0ter3 you ha%e to understand why and how atoms combine. ;ach atom has electrons re%ol%ing around it.

"he inner most le%el can only contain u0 to two electrons3 all of the other le%els can contain u0 to +. 7ome of them are 0ositi%ely charged some of the negati%ely3 hence re0el each other offering the illusion of solid state. 5f our reality is a dream3 i.e. an illusion then it must be concluded that altering this dream must be relati%ely easy and without technical difficulties. 5t is all doable. "he biggest obstacle for any 0erson who wishes to become a magician is the first ste0 of understanding the mechanics and the bac.ground of reality3 and our mind. "o acce0t fully this 0aradigm is not easy. ;%en at the 0oint of acce0ting the 0remise of this many subconsciously fail to belie%e it fully and integrate this truth into his conscious and subconscious mind.

"he best descri0tion of e%ocation and magical ceremonies can be found by reading the ancient story of Abramelin3 the ;gy0tian magician.

"he ultimate aim of this is to meet the o0eratorAs guardian angel. All of the 9erman te1ts describe a duration for the o0eration at least eighteen months before any di%ine contact is made. 5n the athers translation3 the initial 0hase of wor.ing the system lasts only si1 months. After the as0irant has made contact with the guardian angel3 the magician must e%o.e the twel%e 2ings and 8u.es of Hell and gain control o%er them hence remo%ing their negati%e influence from his life. 5n addition3 these s0irits deli%er a number of familiar s0irits along with a set of magical word-s>uare talismans.

Personally3 since the te1tAs 0rimary focus is u0on the in%ocation of the guardian angel3 5 ha%e been reluctant to dismiss it as dar. magic and 5 ha%e e1tensi%ely studied the o0eration and recommend the reader to do the same for its research and reference %alue. y main interest in the wor.s of Abraham of Worms is the word s>uares.

Con:uring u0 the lotto tic.et is usually not 0art of a need but it is a want3 no matter how you try to rationali=e it. 1*' When we desire to manifest something we must carefully craft a mental image of the desired ob:ect or 0erson.

Fear is %ery damaging as it is e10ectation in a negati%e way. As 0ositi%e e10ectations are beneficial and in fact the engine of manifesting3 fear is the dissolution of what was 0ossible.

"here is an e10lanation to this and it is as follows6 7ouls can incarnate to faraway star systems as easily as to earth3 we cannot be ;arth centric to detriment of the -ni%erse. 7ome of the 0eo0le who millions of years ago taught early men to s.ills of using fire or tools3 were in fact beings incarnated 11! from 7tars li.e 7irius.

"here is a dualism in some 2armic e%ents. When Eesus was betrayed and subse>uently murdered there is an indication that this was a result of some 0ast life deed that Eesus has done. 7imilarly the act of betrayal was a .armic act that Eudas had done.
