Chapter 6

The Image of God

They beheld not God; they beheld not the Image of God; therefore were they arisen to the Palace of the Splendour Ineffable. A sharp sword smote out before them, and the worm Hope writhed in its death-agony under their feet.

Liber LXV, V:35

The central Initiation of the Neophyte of the A∴A∴ is the attainment of the Vision of the Holy Guardian Angel. The identification of this experience as a “vision” has been the source of confusion for many students, especially those who have a tendency toward exoteric religion. The experience is neither an astral image or related to any of the common elementary dhyanas.1 It must not be confounded with that Samadhi which is sometimes called the “vision of God.” The Vision of the Holy Guardian Angel is not associated with “visions” or trance states at all. It is the transformation of the Nephesh from a state of idle wandering to a condition of attentiveness to the One Word, which is unknown but certain, declaring its presence self-evidently by the demonstration of true aspiration.
