Hear Me:

AR (O breathing, flowing Sun!)

ThIAF6 (O Sun IAF! O Lion-Serpent Sun, The Beast that whirlest forth, a thunderbolt, begetter of Life!)

RhEIBET (Thou that flowest! Thou that goest!)

A-ThELE-BER-SET (Thou Satan-Sun Hadith that goest without Will!)

A (Thou Air! Breath! Spirit! Thou without bound or bond!)

BELAThA (Thou Essence, Air Swift-streaming, Elasticity!)

ABEU (Thou Wanderer, Father of All!)

EBEU (Thou Wanderer, Spirit of All!)

PhI-ThETA-SOE (Thou Shining Force of Breath! Thou Lion-Serpent Sun! Thou Saviour, save!)

IB (Thou Ibis, secret solitary Bird, inviolate Wisdom, whose Word is Truth, creating the World by its Magick!)

ThIAF (O Sun IAF! O Lion-Serpent Sun, The Beast that whirlest forth, a thunderbolt, begetter of life!)

(The conception is of Air, glowing, inhabited by a Solar-Phallic Bird, ‘the Holy Ghost' of a Mercurial Nature.)

Hear Me, and make all Spirits subject unto Me; so that every Spirit of the Firmament and of the Ether: upon the Earth and under the Earth, on dry land and in the water; of Whirling Air, and of rushing Fire, and every Spell and Scourge of God may be obedient unto Me.

[Let the Adept take note of the wording of the Charge. The “Firmament” is the Ruach, the ‘mental plane'; it is the realm of Shu, or Zeus, where revolves the Wheel of the Gunas, the Three forms7 of Being. The Aethyr is the “akasha”, the “Spirit”, the Aethyr of physics, which is the framework on which all forms are founded; it receives, records and transmits all impulses without itself suffering mutation thereby. The “Earth” is the sphere wherein the operation of these “fundamental” and aethyric forces appears to perception. “Under the Earth” is the world of those phenomena which inform those perceived projections, and determine their particular character. “Dry land” is the place of dead “material things”, dry (i.e., unknowable) because unable to act on our minds. “Water” is the vehicle whereby we feel such things; “air” their menstruum wherein these feelings are mentally apprehended. It is called “whirling” because of the instability of thought, and the fatuity of reason, on which we are yet dependent for what we call “life”. “Rushing Fire” is the world in which wandering thought burns up to swift-darting Will. These four stages explain how the non-Ego is transmuted into the Ego. A “Spell” of God is any form of consciousness, and a “Scourge” any form of action.

The Charge, as a whole, demands for the Adept the control of every detail of the Universe which His Angel has created as a means of manifesting Himself to Himself. It covers command of the primary projection of the Possible in individuality, in the antithetical artifice which is the device of Mind, and in a balanced triplicity of modes or states of being whose combinations constitute the characteristics of Cosmos. It includes also a standard of structure, a rigidity to make reference possible. Upon these foundations of condition which are not things in themselves, but the cannon to which things conform, is builded the Temple of Being, whose materials are themselves perfectly mysterious, inscrutable as the Soul,
