Above all things, know thyself.

In Western Hermetic Qabalah, Kether, the first Sephiroth, is symbolized as the Point, the Crown, and the Swastika, and if you have been following the blogs, you know a point is to imply completeness unto itself, without dimension or external definition and the Buddhist Swastika (Svastika), a symbol for the "first whirling" of energy. The Point is also attributed to the number 1 which mathematically has the potential for all other numbers. The Sacred stone assigned to Kether; the 1st Sephiroth of the Aces is the Pure Diamond Crystal.

I know that the Nazi's used propaganda to profane the Svastika (Manji) symbol of the Buddhist so that no one understands the truth behind the symbol. Here, I will elucidate on its truth as a sigil for among other things it is also the symbol of the Universal Breath and is often found in esoteric studies.

The Buddhist swastika is called "manji" (卍) in Japanese, and it is known as "wan" (卍, 万)" in Chinese. In Sanskrit, it is referred to as "svastika" (स्वस्तिक), which means "conducive to well-being," derived from "su-" (good, auspicious) and "asti" (to be, to exist).

Meaning & Symbolism in Buddhism

In Buddhist tradition, the manji (swastika) is a sacred and auspicious symbol representing harmony, eternity, and the interconnectedness of all things. Its arms, usually turning to the left (counterclockwise, 卍) in East Asian Buddhism or to the right (clockwise, 卐) in Indian traditions, symbolize the revolving forces of Dharma and the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth (Samsara).

Deeper Symbolism

• Cosmic Harmony – It represents the balance of opposites (like yin and yang in Taoism), reflecting the unity of all phenomena.
• Buddha’s Heart and Footprint – In many Buddhist iconographies, the swastika is found on the chest or palms of statues of the Buddha, signifying his infinite wisdom and compassion.
• The Wheel of Dharma (Dharmachakra) – The swastika is a geometric simplification of the eight-spoked Dharma Wheel, showing the ever-moving cosmic order of the universe.
• Four Cardinal Directions – It extends to the fourfold nature of existence (North, South, East, West), linking it to space and the infinite expanse of reality.

Esoteric Buddhist Perspectives

In Vajrayāna Buddhism, the swastika often appears in mandalas and yantras as a gateway to higher consciousness. It is also associated with certain Bodhisattvas, particularly Maitreya, the future Buddha.

In Japanese Esoteric Buddhism (Shingon), the manji is a symbol of the primordial truth and the cosmic reality of Mahāvairocana Buddha (Dainichi Nyorai)—the central deity in many tantric practices.

Connection to Other Traditions

• In Jainism, it represents the four states of existence: gods, humans, animals, and hell-beings.
• In Hinduism, it is a solar symbol linked to Surya (the Sun), Vishnu, and Ganesha.
• In Western Esotericism, the swastika has been used as a solar, alchemical, and Hermetic emblem, predating its later misappropriations.

Tying this into a Western Hermetic or Qabalistic framework for deeper synthesis:

The Buddhist Swastika (Manji) in Western Hermeticism and Qabalah

The manji (卍 / 卐) in Buddhist symbolism aligns deeply with principles found in Western Hermetic Qabalah, Alchemy, and Tarot, especially when understood as a rotating force of cosmic balance, evolution, and divine will.

1. The Swastika as the Rotating Cross of the Elements (Tetragrammaton & Tiphareth)

In the Western Hermetic tradition, the cross (☩) is a foundational symbol, representing the four elements, the four directions, and the divine tetragrammaton (יהוה - Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh). The swastika, being a rotating cross, adds the idea of motion, transformation, and the eternal turning of the cosmos.

• Tiphareth (תפארת), the Solar Sephirah in Qabalah, aligns perfectly with the swastika’s solar connotations, particularly in Hindu and Buddhist traditions.
• The Golden Dawn viewed the swastika as a rotating force that could symbolize either constructive (deasil, clockwise) or destructive (widdershins, counterclockwise) currents, akin to the alchemical cycles of dissolution and coagulation.

This movement mirrors the Hermetic axiom: "As above, so below"—the continual unfolding and refolding of divine patterns in the physical world.

2. Tarot and the Breath of the Swastika (Manji)

If we think of Tarot as a breath cycle, the swastika represents the continuous inhale and exhale of divine energy through the suits and elements.

• The Four Arms of the Swastika = The Four Suits of the Minor Arcana
  • Wands (Fire) – Creative motion, the Will in action
  • Cups (Water) – Emotional currents, the inner spiral of the soul
  • Swords (Air) – Thought’s dynamic process, movement in mind
  • Disks (Earth) – The physical realization of spiritual laws

Thus, the swastika aligns with The Wheel of Fortune (X) in the Major Arcana, which reflects the perpetual turning of karma, dharma, and cosmic cycles.

3. The Swastika and the Qabalistic Lightning Flash

In Hermetic Qabalah, the Lightning Flash of Creation, which descends from Kether to Malkuth (forming the path of divine emanation), has a rotational counterpart: the return ascent of consciousness—aligning with the swastika’s cyclical motion.

• The descent (clockwise, 卐) aligns with the involution of divine force into matter
• The ascent (counterclockwise, 卍) represents spiritual return, enlightenment, and Nirvana

This matches the Buddhist idea that the swastika embodies the eternal path of awakening—a journey from illusion (Malkuth) back to divine unity (Kether).

4. Esoteric Alchemy: The Swastika as the Prima Materia

In Alchemy, the swastika symbolizes the dynamic transformation of the Prima Materia (first matter) into the Philosopher’s Stone.

• The turning arms represent the alchemical process: Calcination (Fire), Dissolution (Water), Separation (Air), and Conjunction (Earth).
• In this sense, the manji is a glyph of transmutation—the constant reworking of base consciousness into divine gold.

This echoes Vajrayāna Buddhist teachings, which treat the mundane world as raw material for enlightenment, just as an alchemist transmutes lead into gold.

5. The Swastika as the Key to Magickal Motion (Chokmah’s Whirlwind)

Chokmah (חכמה) in Qabalah is associated with the whirlwind of divine motion—it is not static wisdom but active, living force, the archetypal "Will to Evolve."

• In this sense, the swastika is a glyph of Chokmah’s energy descending into creation (Yod, the first spark)
• The rotation signifies the primal whirlwind, the storm of existence, which eventually crystallizes into form (Binah, structure).

Thus, the manji is a cosmic yantra of divine will in perpetual movement—never fixed, always flowing.

Final Synthesis: Manji as the Breath of the Divine

The Buddhist swastika is a universal expression of the Hermetic Great Work:

1. It shows the interplay of creation and dissolution, much like the Tree of Life and the Lightning Flash.
2. It is a breath—inhale (form), exhale (transformation)—mirroring the cycle of Tarot and Qabalah.
3. It represents the eternal journey of the soul, the Wheel of Fortune turning through Samsara toward ultimate enlightenment.

The Diamond Crown symbolizes the Holy Guiding Spirit (Holy Guardian Angel/Higher Self) to which we may aspire. Since diamonds are the stone representing Kether as they reflect the purest light, the crown should be a diamond crown., or as Crowley puts it: "A 22 diadem crown".

The Thoth Ace displays 4 Wings that represent the 4 Archangels whose powers balance each other and create stability through the Four Elements. The 6 wings, which cross the 4, also represent the number of the Sun and the implied union of Earth and Sun that creates the living organic organism that is the Being Gaia- Earth. The 4 Aces represent the Root Force of the Alchemical Four elements. The Ace of Disks is the Root Force behind physical manifestation that governs the motion within the movement of Matter, representing the Qabalistic world of Assiah. The Princess of Disks is the throne of the Ace of Disks, and the Ace of Disks rules the Aries-Taurus-Gemini quadrant above the North Pole, and the area of Europe and Africa.

The Ace of Disks is a fascinating card in the Thoth Tarot deck, designed by Aleister Crowley and illustrated by Lady Frieda Harris. It represents the essence of the earth element/Malkuth and carries profound symbolism within the system of Western Hermetic Qabalah and High Magick.

Title: The Thoth Ace of Disks - Manifestation and Potential

The Ace of Disks in the Thoth Tarot is a card of immense significance, encapsulating the essence of earthly manifestation, materialization, and the potential for growth. It is associated with the Earth element, the Kabbalistic/Qabalistic realm of Assiah, and the suit of Disks, Pentacles, or Coins in traditional tarot decks.

The Mystic Palette Tarot-Ace of Coins is more traditional in its presentation. Here, the Ace of Coins is a golden coin with the upside-down triangle with bar symbol for earth and the Stag that is associated with the fertile forest. Hence, the coin is surrounded in fecund flora and fauna. Coins are the symbol for the material world and of material value systems, such as money, and seeds.

In a broader sense, the Ace of Coins can represent it can be the youthful stage of any living being (hence young animals on card) and/or the early stages of a project that involves working with manifested materials. The shape of the coin implies not only money but also is shaped like a platter that is used to offer food, or cups of drink.

When this card appears in a layout, it implies that materiality or value are important to the situation: a seed will take root, a coin or a plate will be offered.

The Path of Malkuth: In the Tree of Life of the Cabbalah/ Kabbalah/Qabalah (all 3 spellings are correct), the Ace of Disks corresponds to the sephira of Malkuth, the kingdom. Malkuth represents the material world, the physical plane of existence. The Ace of Disks/Coins card is a reminder that the material realm reflects the spiritual, and it is through our experiences in Malkuth that we can ascend towards and/or remember our higher levels of consciousness.

High Magick and Transformation: In the practice of High Magick and Western Hermetic Qabalah, the Ace of Disks can be used as a tool for meditation and powerful sexual magick ritual work. It can aid in grounding and connecting with the energies of the earth, weaving them with the energy frequencies generated by the couple in sexual ecstasy, making it an essential component of rituals involving practical manifestation and material goals.

Conclusion: The Thoth Ace of Disks is a potent symbol of the potential for manifestation, materialization, and abundance in the physical world. It reminds us that the earthly realm is a sacred space for our spiritual growth and evolution. By embracing practicality, stability, and a connection to the earth, we can harness the energy of this card to bring our desires and goals into reality.

Seeds/Aces hold the knowledge of the initial point of reference up to the time of release into the world. You could compare yourself to a Seed from your Psyche=Solar Self (Soul) holding within the vast knowledge and Wisdom of the Divine Creative (Yin Yang-Binah and Chokmah on the Tree of Life). When you let go of all that you think you are, thereby allowing the Divine Creatrix to enliven what She knows you are, you reach vast heights of Self that were unopen to the mundane.

The ring of patterns imitates the DNA pattern and/or the Caduceus held by the Messenger of the Gods, Mercury. Hence, we know DNA to be both corporeal and spiritual and it is the Universal intelligence divinely integrated into the Adam Khadmon (Heavenly Human archetype) whose wakeup call is the coiled kundalini at the base of your spine. However, this must be awakened by proper tempering and kundalini meditation practices to avoid injury to one's emotional-mental state. I recommend that you have completely gotten the False ego (the social and racial egregore) under the control of you Soul/Psyche, before you even try raising this eternal power, as energy is neutral and goes where you concentrate the most emotion; therefore, it will feed the shadow side of the *Archon in you and/or awaken the Solar Celestial Archetype in you. All depends on your mental development.

The "group soul" of our society is a false creation of the "few who wish to rule the many". The constructors of this egregore are called the "Archons" by the ancient Gnostics we may know them as the "military Industrial complex", a phrase created by President Dwight D. Eisenhower who warned us of their manipulation. They were also called the Wetiko by the Native American nations.

*

In Gnostic cosmology, the Archons are powerful, otherworldly beings that play a crucial role in the structure and dynamics of the universe. Here are some key characteristics of the Gnostic Archons:

1. Origin and Nature

• Creation: Archons are often depicted as emanations or creations of a higher, but flawed, deity known as the Demiurge. This deity, according to Gnostic texts, is responsible for the creation of the material world.
• Nature: They are considered malevolent or misguided entities that have a negative influence on the human soul and spiritual enlightenment.

2. Role in the Cosmos

• Rulers of the Material Realm: The term "Archon" itself means "ruler" or "authority" in Greek. Archons are seen as the rulers of the material world, which is considered a flawed and imperfect creation.
• Hindrance to Salvation: Their primary role is to keep human souls trapped in the material world and to prevent them from reaching Gnosis, which is the knowledge of spiritual truths and the divine realm.

3. Interaction with Humanity

• Deception and Control: Archons are believed to deceive and manipulate humans through false religious doctrines, material distractions, and psychological manipulation.
• Spiritual Ignorance: They foster ignorance and keep individuals from realizing their true, divine nature and potential for spiritual ascension.

4. Depictions and Attributes

• Appearance: Archons are often depicted as having grotesque, monstrous forms, though their exact appearance can vary across different Gnostic texts.
• Powers: They possess significant powers over the physical world and human consciousness. This includes the ability to shape reality, control fate, and manipulate human perceptions.

5. Overcoming the Archons

• Spiritual Knowledge (Gnosis): Gnosticism teaches that through Gnosis—direct, mystical knowledge of the divine—individuals can transcend the influence of the Archons.
• Inner Light: Every human soul contains a divine spark or inner light that can guide them toward spiritual liberation and return to the divine realm, escaping the Archons' control.

6. Mythological Context

• Sophia and the Demiurge: According to Gnostic mythology, Sophia, a divine emanation, accidentally creates the Demiurge. The Demiurge, ignorant of the true divine realm, creates the material world and the Archons to rule it.
• Dualistic Cosmology: Gnostic teachings emphasize a dualistic view of the cosmos, where the material world is seen as separate from, and inferior to, the divine spiritual realm.

Understanding the Archons is essential to grasping Gnostic cosmology and its emphasis on transcending material existence to achieve spiritual enlightenment and reunification with the divine.

Aleister Crowley chose the Ace of Disks from the Thoth Tarot as his personal sigil, a profound and symbolic act that reveals deep layers of Qabalistic, Hermetic, and Thelemic meaning. The card is far more than just an emblem of material wealth—it is a glyph of the highest mysteries, representing the realized Great Work.

1. The Ace of Disks: The Point of Manifestation

In the Thoth Tarot, the Aces are the purest, undiluted expressions of their element. The Ace of Disks represents Earth in its primal, archetypal form—Malkuth (מלכות), the final Sephirah of the Tree of Life.

However, Malkuth is not just the end but also the beginning:

“Malkuth is in Kether, and Kether is in Malkuth.” (Sepher Yetzirah)

This duality suggests that the material world (Malkuth) is not separate from the divine, but rather its ultimate expression. By choosing the Ace of Disks, Crowley signified his role as the magus who brings down divine wisdom into form—the Logos made Flesh.

2. The Coin and the Mark of the Beast (To Mega Therion)

At the center of the Thoth Tarot Ace of Disks, we find a golden coin or disk, inscribed with Crowley’s personal mark: the sigil of the Beast (To Mega Therion, Greek: Τὸ Μέγα Θηρίον, "The Great Beast").

This symbol includes:

• Thelemic Solar Phallic forces
• The Rosy Cross, a Hermetic sign of divine union
• The encircled Pentagram, which represents Spirit ruling over Matter
• The Mark of the Beast 666, Crowley’s magical identity

This suggests that he saw himself as the material embodiment of divine will (Thelema), destined to establish the New Aeon on the physical plane.

3. Ace of Disks as the Manifestation of Thelema

Thelema’s Core Doctrine and the Ace of Disks

Crowley’s Liber AL vel Legis (The Book of the Law) speaks of Thelema (Will) as the driving force behind the universe. In this context, the Ace of Disks is the physical vessel of that Will—the ultimate manifestation of the Logos in matter.

It is not mere money or worldly wealth, but the perfected Work (Opus Magnum), the Philosopher’s Stone made real.

This is reinforced by the radiating energy of the card, which pulses outward in spirals, much like the cosmic forces described in Thelemic doctrine.

4. The Ace of Disks and Babalon: The Sacred Vessel

Crowley associated the Ace of Disks with the Great Mother, Babalon, who carries the Cup of Abominations (the Grail of all experience) as shown on the ATU 11- Lust card.

• In Hermetic Qabalah, the disk or coin is the final alchemical crystallization of the forces of Binah (Understanding, the Mother).
• The Grail and the Coin are linked—one receptive (Water), one generative (Earth).
• Thus, the Ace of Disks is both the seed and the harvest, the beginning and the end.

By making this his sigil, Crowley may have signified his role as the "Beast" who carries the Word of the Goddess into the material realm.

5. The Ace of Disks and the Chakras (The Solar Plexus)

The glowing radiance in the Ace of Disks aligns with the Manipura (Solar Plexus Chakra), the center of personal power, will, and transformation.

• The solar energy bursting outward suggests a fully awakened Will
• The whirling vortex recalls the Svastika (Swastika / Manji), a sign of infinite energy in motion
• The disk embodies the Solar-Phallic power of Thelema, with its generative creative force

Thus, Crowley’s sigil encapsulates the fusion of divine Will with physical manifestation—the enlightened Magus who rules matter through Spirit.

6. The Ace of Disks as a Qabalistic Key

The card’s placement on the Tree of Life (Malkuth in Assiah) signifies that Crowley was declaring dominion over the physical world—not as a mundane ruler, but as a magician who understands its divine origins.

• The Ace of Disks represents the completed descent of Spirit into Matter, which aligns with the magical formula of Thelema: “Love is the law, love under will.”
• It embodies the whole of the Tree of Life compressed into a single point—the unity of Kether and Malkuth.

This makes the card a microcosm of all magical power—hence why Crowley used it as his personal sigil.

Final Synthesis: Why Did Crowley Choose This Card?

The Thoth Tarot Ace of Disks was Crowley’s sigil because it represents:

1. The Great Work Manifested – The perfected spiritual realization in the physical world
2. The Thelemic Will Made Flesh – The fusion of divine Will (Thelema) and earthly existence
3. The Power of the Beast (666) – Crowley’s personal sigil inscribed on the coin
4. The Solar-Phallic Current of Thelema – The Ace as a generative force, aligning with Babalon
5. The Mastery of Matter and Spirit – The completion of the magical formula in Malkuth

Crowley did not see the material world as a fallen or lesser realm—instead, he viewed it as the final expression of divine perfection.

Thus, the Ace of Disks is the ultimate Thelemic sigil: The Universe itself, perfected through the enlightened Will.

The Mystic Palette Tarot-Ace of Coins is similar to the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot card as it has no real artistic comparison to the Thoth Ace of Disks. On the RWS card the central figure is half a large pentacle held in the heavens by a large white hand appearing from the clouds. There is a notable lack of the coloration of yellow Air, white lilies (purity) and red roses (Passion-desire) and fertile green earth is represented as a green fertile landscape with an arbor view of a mountain range. The Pentacle high in the sky represents the Sun smiling at all creation. Therefore, the meanings of this card are planting the seed, the cycle of life, and new beginnings. This card tends to make one feel wealthy and prosperous but also implies difficulties may be experienced (mountains in the distance).

The Mystic Palette Tarot-Ace of Coins also represents the necessity of applying focused mind to plant the seeds of your goals and manifesting your dreams. Here you are advised to realize your potentials. Finacial new beginnings, business opportunities, investment, and prosperity are coming your way. Here one states, " I AM Wealth, I AM Health, I AM the cornucopia of Wellbeing!"

The Ace of Disks, as seen in the Thoth Tarot Deck, is layered idea-upon idea; a fractal and requires a great study of Crowley's Liber Al, and 777 along with the Equinox book series to understand the Earth/Elemental Magic involved. I shall only superficially cover this card, although that superficiality may seem deep, as it goes much deeper into the metaphysical than traditional pentacle or pentagram tarot cards usually express.

The Ace of Disks shows a spinning Mandala, for that is what the Earth, Luna, and Sun union is. It is the Mandala of Sacred Life on Earth, the 10th Sephiroth-Malkuth---the Kingdom of Reflected and Living coagulated-light. This combination of photons, electrons, neutrons, atoms etc. spinning together to form an Entity, is a great sacred act of Divine Phallus /Masculine Divine Creative (Solar-electric forces) and Divine womb/ Feminine Divine Creatrix (magnetic forces) that have been represented in Mythology as long as it has been recorded, as well as, in our modern study of this Mythology (theory) called the “Theoretical Quantum Physics or Quantum Theory”. As stated, the Quanta are subatomic particles and can be called the "Seeds of Atoms".

Study Quantum physics if you want more explanation of this perspective. Otherwise call it the magic of imagination which is the Creatrix Mother of all Form of atomic particles and their collectives and whose observation and understanding gives these particles form.

The Greek words for “to the mark the beast" -TO META OPHION (To mega Therion) appear in the center of the Thoth card. The number 666 also shows in this card, all of which shows the Earth to be the world of the Animal, as its highest form and/or the Pan-Force of Earth. The God-Mind has changed this by expanding the mammalian predator by Genetic Manipulation of the “fallen Angels” and/or the "sons of god who married the women of men" (ancient aliens) and the Animal DNA of earth.

Thus, the homo sapiens sapiens body is a G.M.O, for the purpose of advanced evolutionary work that the Qabalah Archetype of the Galactic Adam Khadmon represents. The Great Work of as above so below, which is to bring the above-Energy Intelligence (Galactic-Macrocosm) and the below Intelligence (Planet-Microcosm) into perfect union on earth. Our bodies are the "great beast", that we must operate in our name of "I AM"!

Genesis 6:2-7

Genesis 6:2-7 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless, his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

To the indoctrinated, the Beast/Body is seen by some as a lowly thing, whereas Divine Creative after some "panspermia" has seen the Beast to be worthy of inheritor status as the hominoid pattern when joined with the "God Molecule" (God DNA/RNA-Fractal) which is a product of Cosmic Colonization, not just manifested on earth. "Ancient Astronauts" have visited many worlds, and combined their DNA with indigenous hominoid forms, to produce the Adam Khadmon and/or "Heavenly Human", giving them the ability to mentally tune into the Universal Collective Macrocosmic Unconscious mind. Hence, we have the Divine Creatrix Mind known as Imagination, Intuition, and the Rational mind of the Divine Architect; the Womb and Phallus of energy (0=2) and thereby, of all form. I don't presume to question the Divine Creative in this, I just exalt in my inheritance, for there is no greater wealth for Spirit than to be intimate with creation; especially with an Avatar that one creates as their "life motion".

I am doing my best to be the "As above, so below" as we are all able to access the Cosmic Mind/Greater Self. One of the "Secrets" of Western Hermetic Magic, is that we are a colony of ET's created by "Those (Gods/Angels/ETs) who from the Heavens came". The Qabalist knows that the Divine, I AM, (God Name of Eheieh-meaning, "I Will Be") fulfills Its will through being.

The Divine Sel created the Homo Sapien Sapien to be a copy of its self-awareness., which is microwaves of transmitted light that need a crystalized (coagulated) body of light to be able to give senses to data and/or information so that it can become Life and/or in-form-action.

In-form-action proves the theory of information. When proven, it becomes knowledge. Remember, every thought is merely an unproven idea and unless you can enact its goal as physical manifestation. Thought is false information called "Theory" until it can be manifested. Hence, everything is a fantasy until it isn't. I Am is the truth of you, what you "AM" is assumed and only action can prove the theory of you. Therefore, you are free to assume your own identity. So, choose to be the best you that you can be, and your best will get better every day.

According to Crowley, the central Hieroglyph is that of "the chosen priest and apostle of infinite space," (The Husband),"The prince-priest Beast"- To Meta Ohepion- [Liber Al. I.15.] was Crowley's motto as he saw himself as the Prince Priest of the Beast. Thus, the Cosmic Phallus, in the shape of the Cosmic Yoni Linga (Hindu), is shown as the central symbol of this card, as that is the symbol of Tetragrammaton (secret name of the Creator"-rebounding, whirling forth, crying aloud,") again showing the Sol (Phallus) Luna (Yoni) union of energy and reflected light.

Crowley took this card as his personal Hieroglyph, so deep study is required to understand his deep and subtle meanings implied by this card. Purchasing his book of Thoth and reading it may help one see beyond their dogma misunderstanding of the "beast" as something evil. The Body is an Earthly Beast, and now due to genetic modification is our Avatar of Spiritual presence on Earth. It is the sacred place of the Soul on earth. Contrary to many fundamental religions and "new ager's" concepts, Earth is a Spiritual Plane, for I AM Spirit, and I am manifesting a presence of Star and Earth as a lemniscate binary union.

The Ace of Disks is also a Mandala for the New Aeon of Horus. This card has layered depths of Gnosis (Knowledge) that can never be seen by first glance and requires in-depth study of the Tree of Life (The God Molecule in 2 D-we are the God Molecule in 10 D) and a recommended scrying of this card.

The Non-Being required "Will", to weave patterns of Light-into a Fantasy of being so that it could be/sense itself. The Universe is the Fantasy of the Divine Creative Self wrought out of the love/lust of the Masculine for the Feminine or vice versa, the love of electricity for the magnetic! To even get a glimmer of understanding of this is to revise your perspectives on Fantasy/Illusion and watch how opposite magnetic poles attract each other and if the magnet is spun in an enclosure of wire, it produces electricity. It is the magnetic attraction of poles that makes Power!

Spiritual Power is thereby generated by Love.

Every thought you think is a Fantasy that the body (an enclosure of matter) makes into "reality" by sensitizing it and enacting it. We are the "I AM" who is the playwriter, actor, screenplay, and the observer of our Assumptions as Self. As I said, reality is a weaving of layers upon layers of Dream-Fantasy, a fractal of Self. All the Universe is in the Mind of One Conscious Energy Collective of which you are a harmonious Life-Frequency of Spiral and willfully (spirit) woven light (energy). The Union of Goddess (magnetic womb) and God (electric Phallus) animate all the Dreams of this Mind. That makes this card a "must meditate on Mandala".

Thoughts or ideas are the seeds planted, and emotions (energy-in-motion) is the cultivator, and will power (spirit) is the fertilizer that grows those seeds into greater fruition.

When the All Seeing "I" created the dream of the All- existing "Am," love became the foundation of observation for the Creator and the Child of the Universal I AM is called a "Me". I AM ME should be a proud statement of Self. Self is all you will ever know and all that you will ever see. Greater Self is the creator/creatrix of the Universal Fractal of Images and/or "lesser selves" that become data and/or self-awareness made manifest through the union of Wisdom and Understanding: a union that is called "love".

The Ace of Disks is a glyph of Earth, The root Power of Earth in the new Aeon of Horus. Since each of us fantasize our world, why not make a Great Fantasy of Union and Love, rather than the brutal Fantasy of divisionism and war? That is why Crowley calls the element of Earth cards, Disks instead of Pentacles, as most other decks do. A disk must spin to arrive at its target. Life is alive, spinning, rebounding, energy-in-motion, layer upon layer of Greater Self Awareness; a loving realization that builds the All of the “I AM ME”, Universal of ONE who is many aspects of Self-Awareness; who is "YOU"!

The Tree of Life shows the Crown-Kether and the Kingdom- Malkuth as both ends of the Tree. As above, so below, is the Qabalist's axiom for Magi...one who is the manifestation of Divine Will on the Material Earth Plane.; one whose “I’s” (10 Sephiroth) are all seeing. “As above, so below” implies Whole-ness of Spirit, consciousness, and body (Holy Spirit= Soul+MInd+Body) and is the destination of all who study the Qabalah. Earth is not perceived as a "lesser form" of Spirit but as an achievement of Total Spiritual Self Awareness!

Since there is no logic to No-thing "becoming" some-thing so that it may return to nothing, ascension is of the Personality, not the body, as it is already intelligently ascended by the Solar Being that is the Soul (Sun of the Divine Creative). No-thing (Kether) obviously desired itself into being something---because its trinity of Self (Kether-Chokmah-Binah) is the” I AM” who is the god's name known in Hebrew as Eheieh- "I Will Be". Hence, the first name we’ve all inherited is "I AM" and the Divine Creative "I" is united with all the "Am". The identity produced by the awareness and understanding of difference between the "I" and the "Am" has created a "ME". Therefore, Me is always an assumption, freely made by the declaration of "I Am...". Hence, you shall be whatever you declare yourself to be.

The Ace of Disks suggests that We are masters of Time-Space, and Self assumption, thereby, achieving an active part of the Conscious Energy Self Awareness, by being able to focus that awareness down to the scale of human/crystal sensuality. We may call ourselves Souls, but we do not know what that means. First off, the word soul came from the Greek-Psyche, a part of mythology for understanding the workings of the Unconscious. But to be more modern, souls are Psyche composed of Libraries of Personal experience created by Spiritual (spiral) union of frequencies (Stars) of the One Energy that are focused into fractals of " I AM Me". You are a Star who is mating with Earth!

The Supernal Triangle, of Kether, Chokmah, Binah, together state "I AM YOU"; therefore, your name is indeed legion and compiled from the sum of the many Selves of the One- Self. The One "Many 'I'd' Self" Created you, the "selves of Self", as its intimacy with all Creation! The Soul or Solar Self is composed of a trinity of I (Spirit) AM (Mind)ME (body), a special Alchemy of the invisible energy joined with the visible energy through the union of "Fire, Water, Air, and Earth". This is easily seen if the "me" is not profaned by dogma, indoctrination, media "word hypnosis", and/or the parasitic mind virus of the false ego and/or Archon controlled slaves.

When the Ace of Disks is thrown, new material conditions for a new satisfying path in life shall ensue. The Ace of Disks is the "seed" of Matter brought on by the joyous union of the Sun-Phallus and The Womb of Earth. This card affirms the new Aeon...The manifestation of the Solar Being (Soul) and the Material Being as One Being who is many selves attributing to the Knowledge of Self! In other words, the Being whose name is Legion (Many) is the combination of the Sun/Son of The Divine Creative and the princess- daughter Earth! That would be best known as, I AM ME and everyone I see is another way to be me.

Matter, may be called the crystallized light, which is a materialization of Ideas that began in the "Great Dark Ocean of Binah (who is the dark conscious space all around us and in us and as us)", the feminine of the Divine Creative and because of Her Union with Chokmah (wisdom), the masculine of the Divine Creative, creates Life as an animated energy form of "Will to Force" united to "Will to Form", as a point of self-examination. If your identity looks deeply into the mind, you can see that when an idea (wisdom) is understood (Binah), it is now information and information coagulate into in-form-action, producing experienced knowledge in this universe.

The seeds of Image are as a seed of a tree----all the knowledge/wisdom of the Tree is in that seed which becomes something greater than itself as it grows from practice and experience into The New Identity of that Tree. The Ace of Disks also postulates that We are such seeds. We are the seeds of I AM that has acknowledged itself as probabilities rather than a stasis form of Law. We are the Self-Rule Makers of the I AM Universe---we make a Rule -a definition and then become it, and hopefully grow beyond it by expanding and liberating our identity from that previous definition when experienced and understood. You could call us the Seeds of Conscious Evolution. We are always the "Exception" to some previously observed rule. It's called FREEDOM OF CHOICE! So, this card reminds us to choose and then fertilize and nurture that choice with Will-To-Be-Thyself! Our Destiny is "To Be"; our fate as being is ours to decide.

This is indeed a great inheritance! We can be and/or are whatever we define ourselves to be just by using the inner Alchemy that applies emotion (energy-in-motion) to thought and thereby creating in-form-action! To be "ill defined" is to think ill about any or all that you "see". To be "Well defined" is to know that everything you see is another way to be me (identity of the One Energy Fractal of I AM) and just like you, it is supposed to exist. 

Again, the greatest seeds of Life that you can plant come from, “Doing unto another what you would have done to you!"- That includes the "beasts" of earth and the earth herself. Hence, it behooves you to think well no matter how they "do unto you"! We must practice what we "think we are"---for that is the nature and justice of an emoted "Thought Form "and/or our crystallized conscious-energy bodies---which are the "seeding" of Self-Aware Cosmic Spirit on this Earth. Outer growth depends on fertile and nurturing internal awareness!

Remember, you cannot erase thought by suppressing it for it is created out of energy and cannot be destroyed! So, expand it instead and as a seed it can grow into a fruitful tree. For instance, let's say you wake up in the morning thinking, "Damn I feel lousy!" Don't try and suppress it by denying that you thought it by overlaying a thought such as " Oh not really---I feel great" for that will only fail and magnify that ill feeling. Instead think expansively and liberate that ill thought towards well thought!

For example, you may think," Damn I feel lousy but in 5 minutes I'll feel better!" And in 5 minutes you will feel better and as a seed you will continually feel better by "watering" it every 5 minutes with "I feel even better in another 5 minutes", etc. until the ill feeling is gone. We can do the same for any ill thought---Such as," Boy is she/he a bitch!" By just adding a positive. Such as, "However, those who go after what they want always seem bitchy to those who don't." This just frees you from "disliking" yourself as you go after what you want in life! Therefore, the Ace of Disks reminds us of the seeds we plant in our own Identities by definitions supplied to those images composed of the One Energy around us.

Remember, if it exists---it’s supposed to!

To see error doesn't mean to condemn it! Error is 50% of Wisdom, Wisdom being the ability to create, see error (in that creation) and correct it. The Body is where we correct the errant thought because we can "Feel" thought and if it "hurts" it has error in it! Happiness is constant growing harmony of Spirit-Mind Body intercourse; whereas depression is a stagnation of self-identity; a swamp of past emotion, a quagmire born of fearful yesterdays of 2 dimensional good and bad thinking! 

Hence, you are not divided into good and bad, you are learning what "theory" works and what doesn't. Learning is the harbinger of knowledge and is not either good or bad.

The Ace of Disks/Pentagrams reminds us that You are good enough for Divine Image--you are good enough for you! To stop ill thought, think this as a corrective to your body when it gets on the pity-pot of thought, “Get over yourself and get on with you, impeccability is what we do!” 

The Ace of Disks/Pentacles reminds us that All Earth Magic is comprised of the special Trinity of Will +Thought + Emotions=Magic/Creation. We are the keepers of the Earth God Molecule and someday this colony of ET's, will branch out into our solar system and link our God Molecule/DNA to other planets and thereby creating yet another form of Adam Khadmon, the Universal Archetype of I AM Me! Your personality is yours to create and destroy, for it is not you as it is your avatar on earth. When your persona (mask) is in love with the Soul that it radiates from, you'll know yourself.
