“From a child of five to an adult is a short step. From a new-born baby to a child of five is an appalling distance.”

—Tolstoy

Ritual is an activity that a brief study of human history would seem to show that we need. It is also an activity that has been generally ignored or denied in Western culture (except in the most ineffectual forms offered by the modern church). By investigating what appears to be one of the weak points in the armour of Control, the Temple feels it has touched a nerve. By reclaiming ritual and developing its efficient personalised use, the process of shattering indoctrination that takes place is reversed. One becomes cognizant of one’s real needs, and, able to confront and embrace these needs and desires, commit that most heinous of crimes in this group- orientated society – cherish oneself.

People in this position are more likely to be healthy, well balanced individuals. They do not commit suicide. They don’t go out and attack people on the street. They don’t fight wars on behalf of politicians. They are less inclined to become addicted to false outside stimulation (be it from drugs or TV) for their well being.

“Once you have re-integration and you have an effective whole individual again you can then have evolution, and that evolution I suggest needs to be neurological. If people see things intelligently and are more aware and thoughtful and using more of their brains, then stupid action will become more obviously stupid and therefore laughably irrelevant. The only way to get rid of stupidity is to make it LOOK stupid to the individual, so that nobody would indulge in it. And I think that forms of ritual and what is commonly termed ‘magick’ are an essential part of that re-integration and that’s why they were quite deliberately amputated from man’s experience during the middle ages, in order to facilitate the growth of power through various kinds of conditioning and suppression.”

So in Temple philosophy, ritual helps the Initiate to commune not with spirits, but with The Spirit. In helping concentration, clearing space for internalisation, it enables the brain to function in a way that, quite simply, it doesn’t normally have the opportunity to in the logical life of everyday existence. The real purpose of ritual, the common denominator of all ritual from Christian communion to dervish dances and spiritualist meetings, is to lead you through the subconscious levels of the mind and into the areas of the brain where the unconscious dwells, darkly. Here you may stumble across angels and devils within yourself that have been hidden from you by Control.

The most simple form of ritual is a process of Sigilisation, whereby a wish is concentrated in symbolic form, and brought to bear on the mind when it achieves the required altered state – when it has been pushed into the quaquaversal mode and is able to transmit energies that can have an effect on both the physical and mental planes. Purely physical science does not (yet) allow for such things to be possible.
