Government

Percival is the true champion of the Holy Grail. Galahad was a later sterilization of the myth, taking it from a left hand path, to a right hand path mythology, supporting the inhumanity of Christian philosophy. Percival, being fully human, attains the Holy Grail by Love, not the sterile purity of Galahad, he is thus the rightful knight depicted in the atus 7, The Chariot. He is the paladin, the holy warrior of the new Aeon.

4 + 7 = 11

Seven who rest in seven, seven who live by seven, the seven who govern the seven, and seven by whom all government is.

Love is the Law

This is the most supreme expression of government there is, the secret to my improved understanding of The Emperor. The king and the land are one, to change within is to change without. The king without the grail withers and dies and the land with him. This is manifested in the raw tyranny that curse the land choking individual free will, if government upsets the universal balance, the universal balance is bound to upset government, and eventually overthrow it. This cycle has often resulted in the death of empires. But if the king is transformed at his core by the power of the grail, he not only heals himself, he also heals the land and his subjects, bringing longevity to his sovereignty.

This Law of Liberty can be applied in many levels. In goetia this means that Divine Love must be applied to the demonic parts of your psyche to compel it to positive change in compliance with True Will, effectively building your own temple. I've often pondered on the menial demands of ego-seeking magicians upon these entities. As reflected in their own blogs, this apparent tyranny is the very thing which upsets the balance and overthrows the magician.

4 - This is the square, its the terrible four letter word of the Almighty, the Tetragrammaton, The Emperor, the four elements manifested in all matter. The human need to quantify, label, rationalize, categorize and organize the volatile forces of nature. Its a necessary foundation essential for human development, for patronage of the arts and sciences, for civilization as a whole. We are housed in square boxes, protected from exposure to the elements, from total anarchy. Left unchecked it becomes tyranny, stagnation, no room for growth.

On a grand scale, applied to the world's governments, this is a great paradox in human existence, and its most evident in America, “land of the free”, which brings to mind the saying “freedom isn't free.” For ages freedom has not been in the best interest of governments. Even today, the media, religious institutions and corporations are metaphorical expansions of government. They're inseparably tied in a net mutual interests with the government, influencing policies in ways that individuals can't compete. They're allowed to inhibit personal freedoms without outcry from the masses because they have ways of manipulating public opinion in their favor, or diverting attention away from their sleight of hand. This is why government is always slow to catch on with the their own subjects demands for personal freedom as seen in the civil rights movement of the 60's and the current issues of gay marriage and decriminalization of marijuana. The fact is, this has been going on since the birth of this nation, since the birth of government in ancient tribal civilizations.

7 - The metaphorical “Holy Grail” in this case is that instinct within certain individual leaders within government to lead the nation in a new progressive direction even while still manipulating the old network of special interest groups that fund the government. It takes a heroic individual to every so often lead the masses and outwit the machine, they're the great leaders in human history. This is king Arthur, energized by the grail, charging forth conquering his foes and healing the land. These heroic individuals, often driven by a need to leave their mark upon the world, are the sum of the parts 4 and 7. They're 11 in the world of government, symbolic of the ultimate victory of the individual Will over the masses and all of the complex machinery that resists change. This is not exactly a moral statement. As love and hate are twins, this individual could be manifested as Franklin D Roosevelt or Adolph Hitler, playing an active role for “good” or “evil” in the human drama. The difference, as in these two examples, is that one ultimately unites and the other ultimately divides his nation. In the big picture, both have brought about irreversible change upon the system.

Christian Morning.

Facebook status:

I just woke up from a terrible nightmare. Self-proclaimed Christian churches everywhere were misleading men and women. I'm really glad it was just a bad dream...

How I actually feel:

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and ask myself, what can I do today to eradicate Christianity from the face of the Earth? And your answer might be "they're already doing it themselves". To that I say "not fast enough".

RIP Tortured Programmer.
