Chapter 3: Into the Night

He remained quiet but inside he was seething and planning how he was going to exchange his airbus ticket destination for Old Seattle. That’s where his parents had told him to go and that is where he was going.

Tobal Kane curled up in a dark corner of the Airbus and looked out upon a moonlit night. It was the 18th of February and the full moon cast a soft light on the snow-covered landscape far below. There were no clouds and he could see stars twinkling like diamonds in the night sky. It was one of those rare nights that you want to remember for the rest of your life and he was trying to impress the smallest details onto his soul forever. He was leaving the only home he had ever known and he was not going back.

He felt the vibration and hum of the airbus against his back and below he saw the lights of New Rome growing smaller and receding into the distance. He was lost in his thoughts. The airbus was relatively empty and he was left to himself.

It had been a simple matter to purchase his own ticket to New Seattle. There were no flights into Old Seattle and that was the closest he could get. He simply booked a flight for a few hours later than the one he was supposed to be on.

Uncle Harry hadn’t even seen him off at the airport. He had sent the driver instead and the driver dropped him off outside the terminal. Money hadn’t been a problem since he had a spending allowance and he had cautiously supplied himself with enough cash to stay for a week or two in Old Seattle if he needed to. Since he would be paying cash Uncle Harry should never find out. He thought he had enough Euros to cover any expenses that might come up.

The Euro was the global currency acceptable in all city-states around the world since the establishment of the Federation. He was carrying almost five thousand Euros and also had a credit card his uncle had given him for emergencies. As long as his expenses were reasonable his uncle had always picked up the tab. Tobal was determined to find the Antiquities shop if it still existed. He was also determined his uncle would never know about it. Nervously he touched his jacket pocket and made sure the letter was still there. He could feel the weight of the medallion around his neck.

Staring out the window into the night, Tobal thought about his parents, his mind churning with conflicting tales—Uncle Harry’s account of their mysterious death by accidental drowning in a lake, the Time Knights’ claim they were alive and imprisoned, all against his vague, unproven memories. The Wild whispered through his doubts, urging him toward Old Seattle, a gift from them that relaxed him with its calm power. He hardly remembered them at all, just those faint memories without proof they were even real. They had been mysteriously killed when he was only two years old. His parents had been working on a classified project but something had gone wrong and they never came back alive. Their bodies had been found floating in a nearby lake. The investigation had officially listed the cause of death as accidental drowning even though his uncle said his parents were both strong swimmers.

His uncle would never talk about his parents and whenever Tobal asked his uncle would change the subject. There was no one else that Tobal could ask. His uncle had known his parents and worked with them. He didn’t remember his aunt Lilly unless she was that woman he remembered swimming with Uncle Harry the day he had seen the tattoo. Uncle Harry wouldn’t talk about her either. She had been killed in the same mysterious accident that crippled his uncle.

It was all very mysterious and now he was flying into the night headed for some “Forbidden City” his parents wanted him to go to. It was the only thing they had ever asked of him. It was their dying wish and he would do just what they asked. He fingered the medallion. There was a calm power coming from it that relaxed him, especially because it was a gift from them.

The flight from New Rome to New Seattle was long and uneventful. There had been several stopovers at other city-states along the way. At last he dozed fitfully. The sky was getting lighter but the sun was still under the horizon when he woke up. It was about 5:30 in the morning when the airbus touched down at the terminal in New Seattle.

Tobal got off at the airbus terminal and asked directions at the information desk. He was only two miles from Old Seattle. After spending the night in the airbus the exercise and fresh air felt good. His clothing was warm enough as long as he kept moving. He had no luggage because his uncle had said he would be given everything needed at Heliopolis when he got there.

The first part of his trip was easy since New Seattle was essentially one huge indoor complex. This was common with city-states. The entire city-state was essentially one giant self-enclosed structure. Public transit was small-automated air cars that took passengers to any programmed address or destination. He was going to the South Gate and punched the proper location into the control screen.

“Please fasten your seat belt,” said a pleasant mechanical voice from somewhere inside the car.

Tobal complied and the car took off smoothly entering a long corridor filled with other flying traffic. In a matter of minutes his air car touched down next to the city gates and let him out. He watched as it sped away to pick up another passenger, then shrugged his shoulders and stepped through the gate into the cold air of Old Seattle.

The light mist and fog felt chill in the pre-dawn air. He turned his collar up against the wind and fastened his light jacket a little tighter. As he walked, he buttoned the top button of his collar. The icy moisture seemed to seep into his bones. There was a dusting of freshly fallen snow on the ground and it was very quiet as the sun peeked over the distant horizon. He guessed the snow would not last very long. It was already melting. While cold, it was still much warmer than his uncle’s estate.

Old Seattle differed sharply from New Seattle. He looked around curiously as he walked along an empty street. There were individual buildings on both sides as far as he could see. New Seattle had no streets. Anti-grav technology had made ground operated vehicles obsolete over twenty years ago before he had even been born. Still here in Old Seattle there was foot traffic and the streets were kept in repair for that purpose alone. The contrast between the two cities was almost overwhelming.

New Seattle was a self-contained city-state like so many others in what was now simply the Federation. Some of the older citizens called it the “New World Order” but it was not new any longer and did not seem to contain a lot of order. There were not many people still living that remembered the pre-Federation days. Each city-state was like any other with access to many of the same resources. Most people worked from their homes in private offices or lived within walking distance of the local manufacturing plants that produced the food and material products that kept the city alive.

It was hydrogen cell technology that revolutionized the world bringing cheap energy to entire communities. Almost overnight the energy problems of the world were gone. There was abundant light, heat and electricity within small communities along with the technology to become self-supporting and self-governing. Anti-grav technology completed the isolation by making the world’s ground transport structure obsolete.

All across the Federation streets and highway systems had been torn up and properties sold or allowed to go back to nature. The majority of the world’s population now lived in elaborate complexes complete with local air terminals and food processing plants. They were self-sustaining apartments in self-sustaining complexes in self-sustaining city-states. You could find anything you wanted in your own complex or order it from the Ethernet on your home computer. Hologram technology made communication and entertainment effortless. You could attend conferences, work, play games or chat with your friends through the Ethernet even if they were on the other side of the world. Advanced technology had finally reached the point where no one really needed to go anywhere.

But here in Old Seattle there were still streets. Tobal had never seen a street before. It was like entering an ancient prehistoric world. In this part of the city there were actually cobblestones that were over two hundred years old. Definitely the old city was pre-Federation. The buildings were separate from each other and built of red brick or concrete. Many of the taller skyscrapers were in a process of structural collapse or in need of repair. It was the smaller buildings built of concrete and steel that seemed immune to the sands of time. They spoke of an era when life had been different, harder and more individualistic.

Ironically it was modern technology that provided the power to support life in these ancient structures. Without the abundant heat and electricity they would have long since been abandoned. It was as if people wanted to play at living in the past while keeping the niceties of the modern world at the same time.

Tobal turned down another street and old apartments loomed up silently on either side like man made canyons. The early morning sun had not made it into these dark canyons yet and he walked in shadow. The light snow that lay on the cobblestones muffled his boots. The uneven surface made his footing treacherous and several times he almost fell.

Rounding another corner he almost stepped on a couple of crows intently fighting over a dead animal. They hardly noticed and hopped to one side before resuming their fight over the grisly remains of a rat or a cat. It was hard to tell which.

The street split in two separate directions. A battered sign said Oak Street and 30th Ave. Going left on Oak Street he headed down a street more narrow than the others. It looked like it was not used much any more, but then they all did. Looking back he saw the crows following him. They would fly a short way, stop to watch and then fly again to catch up. Every now and then one would squawk and a fight would erupt leaving loose feathers forgotten on the snow.

Old Seattle was a noted artist’s colony. It was one of the areas where societies fringe element escaped the rigid structure of modernization. Unique products, specialty shops and services both legal and illegal were offered within the little shops that lined the streets. The owners lived above the shops and owned entire buildings. Some of the signs were broken or covered in grime and unreadable. He figured 2424 Oak St. should be a few more blocks up and on the right side of the street. A couple blocks further he found it nestled between an old bakery and a barbershop.

The dilapidated three story red brick building looked worse for wear than it’s neighbors and some of the mortar between the bricks was missing. Tobal questioned the structural integrity of the entire building. A battered sign proclaimed “Antiquities and Curiosities”. The windows on all three stories were covered with wrought iron bars that looked functional as well as ornamental. They suggested what kind of neighborhood this really was and he nervously glanced around him. The crows hopped a little closer. Stepping up to the door he saw he was too early. The closed sign hanging in the window read the shop opened at 8:00. Glancing at his watch, he realized he still had almost two hours to wait.

Leaving the shop, Tobal continued down the street until he came to a small park area and watched the sun rise over the city. He brushed snow off a battered bench and sat listening to the strange early morning sounds of this old city and watching the crows. One large crow actually flew onto the bench and turned its head to look intently at him. Tobal had the eerie feeling that the bird was intelligent. After a half-hour of sitting in the small snow covered park the sun was up and he was thoroughly chilled.

Going back to the coffee and bakery shop he ordered a cup of coffee and a raspberry scone. It was warm inside and he stayed there until 8:00 listening to the locals and watching as they eyed him curiously. If anyone thought it strange to see a dark haired eighteen-year-old with a scarred face wandering the streets at this time of day they kept it to themselves.

Tobal took his time and enjoyed his breakfast. There was some foot traffic in the morning streets and most of it toward the bakery. Customers would enter; stomp their snow covered boots on the floor, hang their coats or jackets on a stand and sit down to read the local paper or talk with their neighbors. Most of them looked over fifty years old and dressed in outdated clothing. They were not a part of the modern world, as Tobal knew it. At 8:00 he paid for his coffee and scone and headed back to the shop. This time there was an “open” sign hanging in the window. In better light the shop looked like a fortress. The heavy wooden door had metal bands across it for reinforcement. It looked like it could withstand a battering ram. He tested the latch and the door opened silently inward on well-oiled hinges. A small bell rang as he entered.

Chapter 2: The Zelator Degree – Passionate Awakening of Conscience

Imagine standing at a crossroads, your heart pounding with a sudden urge to live differently—to be better. That’s the Zelator Degree, the second step in soul development within the Golden Dawn’s mystical framework, symbolized as 1=10. Tied to Yesod on the Tree of Life, the lunar realm of emotions and subconscious, it’s about awakening your conscience—a fiery, passionate shift often felt in adolescence. Think of it as the moment you first feel a cause so deeply you’d fight for it, or when guilt makes you rethink your choices. This stage, typically around ages 10–14, is where you confront your flaws, feel the weight of your actions, and start forging a moral compass.

In this chapter, we’ll explore the Zelator stage through three paths: the male path, a linear climb toward spiritual rebirth; the female path, a cyclical dive into physical vitality; and their alchemical interaction, where passionate energies spark growth through relationships. Duality here is like a tug-of-war—male introspection versus female outward expression—yet together, they ignite transformation. Whether you’re revisiting teenage zeal or guiding a young person, this stage teaches you to listen to your inner voice and balance passion with purpose.

The Male Path: From Guilt to Spiritual Rebirth

For those on the male path, the Zelator Degree feels like climbing a steep hill, confronting a mirror that shows your every flaw. It’s the adolescence where you awaken to your conscience, often around age 14, though some never fully cross this threshold. This stage is about facing the gap between who you are and who you want to be.

Picture a teenage boy, passionate about a cause—maybe saving the environment or standing up for a friend. He’s a “zealot,” burning with conviction, perhaps even “born again” in a religious sense. But this passion unearths heavy baggage: guilt and self-loathing. Every regretted word, every shameful act—like lying to a parent or hurting a sibling—surfaces. He feels like an animal, driven by impulses he can’t control. This is the mirror of the soul, a brutal but necessary confrontation. Some flee this reflection, living in shame, unable to forgive themselves.

Crossing this crisis point is pivotal. The call to “repent, sinner” isn’t just religious; it’s a universal urge to change. He shifts from identifying with his physical body—its desires and flaws—to his immortal soul, the part that lives beyond death. Phrases like “he who believes shall never die” or “you must be born again” resonate, whether from church or personal insight. This shift brings huge changes: he stops old habits, strives to live better, and learns to forgive himself. The inner voice of conscience becomes a guide, fostering spiritual growth.

But there’s a catch. This new identity brings loneliness. He feels separate, a bittersweet joy in being “saved” yet isolated because his path is unique. He wants others to share his awakening, but they might laugh or ignore him. This sparks compassion for others’ struggles, softening his heart. As emotions lose their grip, he leans on logic and reason, which can dull life’s joy. The “inner child” fades, making this a painful but transformative stage, setting the stage for deeper introspection later.

The Female Path: Embracing Physical Vitality

On the female path, the Zelator Degree is like riding a vibrant wave, full of life and sensuality, often peaking in the early teens. It’s less about internal guilt and more about engaging the world with a fading but powerful intuitive spark. This stage is about embracing the body while spiritual awareness takes a backseat.

Imagine a teenage girl, charming and magnetic, who finds she can influence others effortlessly. Teachers, friends, even strangers want to please her. She sees nature as bountiful—there’s enough for everyone. Her actions feel inherently good, radiating impersonal love and innocence. Unlike the male path’s struggle with sin, she dives into physical life, reacting to emotions and stimuli with curiosity and joy.

She admires her body, experimenting with beauty—think trying new hairstyles or outfits. Flirting becomes a playful tool; she wraps peers around her finger, reveling in her effect on them. This is her identifying with a sensual, physical self, not a spiritual one. The Goddess awareness from childhood—where she felt all-knowing—starts to withdraw. She doesn’t need to think about spirit; it’s a mental backdrop, not a focus. Social activities bring belonging, her intellect sharp and inquisitive.

But as spiritual energy wanes, emotions surge like wild currents. She gets into trouble, chasing thrills without restraint. Laughter with friends and worldly delights dominate, but compassion fades. She might use people, growing colder and lonelier as she prioritizes her desires. This shift to emotional rule marks a departure from intuition, grounding her in the physical world’s vibrancy and challenges, preparing her for deeper bodily awareness.

Alchemical Interaction: Passionate Sparks in Partnership

Duality in the Zelator stage ignites when male and female paths collide, like a storm meeting a sunny shore. This alchemical interaction is the passionate spark of young love or intense friendship, where energies clash and transform, pushing both toward growth.

Picture a teenage romance: he’s smitten, seeing her as a Goddess, his passion pouring out as spiritual energy. He trusts his intuition, believing she’s “the one,” his body shivering with desire. His intensity—wanting to connect deeply, even sexually—sends raw energy her way. She feels this force, her body responding sensually, but it overwhelms her. She’s timid, unsure, as his emotions threaten to drown her intuitive calm. Yet, she embraces this plunge into materialism, craving the physical connection too.

This exchange, like tantric foreplay, doesn’t require sex—just sincere emotion. Holding hands, sharing dreams, or arguing passionately merges their auras. He generates idealistic fire; she channels it into sensual expression, balancing his inward guilt with her outward joy. Together, they explore intimacy’s power, learning to direct these energies toward shared goals, like supporting each other’s dreams. This can lead to deeper commitment or, sometimes, mistakes like unplanned pregnancy if unchecked. Their partnership amplifies growth, making the Zelator awakening a shared adventure.

Practical Applications: Tools for Your Zelator Journey

Engage your Zelator conscience with these exercises:

  • Conscience Journal: Write about a time you felt guilt (male path) or chased a thrill (female path). What did your inner voice say? Meditate 10 minutes, visualizing a lunar light (Yesod’s symbol) cleansing your emotions.
  • Partner Pulse: With a friend or partner, share a passionate belief. Men: Express a spiritual goal; women: A physical joy. Hold eye contact, breathe together, feeling energy flow. If alone, imagine balancing passion and calm in yourself.
  • Oak Grounding: Sit by an oak (our book’s anchor). Reflect on a teenage choice—good or bad. Whisper it to the tree, asking for clarity. Feel its roots stabilize your emotions, echoing Golden Dawn’s elemental work.

These tools awaken your conscience, channeling passion into purpose.

Conclusion: From Passion to Purpose

The Zelator Degree is your soul’s fiery adolescence, sparking conscience through guilt and rebirth (male), vitality and sensuality (female), and passionate partnership (alchemy). In the Golden Dawn, Zelators master emotional foundations, preparing for intellectual challenges. Duality here is a dance of opposites—introspection meets expression—fueling growth. As you reflect, ask: What passion drives me now? The next step, Practicus, awaits with logic’s trials.

Don’t Relate Your Soap Opera to Others – Forge Silence That Heals

Soap operas spill—dramatic rants, juicy wrongs—fun ‘til it festers. The OAK Matrix fuels your halt: opposites (blab/quiet) grind, awareness (your fierce check) wakes, kinship (shared truth) binds. Crack an orb with a gym grind or gut shut? Hell yes—drop it. This is survivalism’s purge—here’s how to kill the noise and win.

What’s This About?

“Wife’s a jerk!”—“Husband’s cheap!”—tales spin, drama hooks—you’re the star, wronged, loud—crowd laps it up. Vented? Sure—solved? Nope—hooks sink deeper, pain grows—small gripes balloon—cheating? Abuse?—grandma’s nursing home-bound—story’s theirs now, not yours.

Gossip fuels—friends pile on—truth twists, impressions rot—you’re “right,” but wrong—negativity festers—loved ones trashed, trust cracks. Soap feeds itself—keeps you stuck—dump it, heal—talk less, act more—freedom’s quiet, not loud.

Why It Matters

It’s your warrior’s purge. Opposites clash—talk traps, silence frees—and awareness wakes: you’re not a bard, you’re a builder. Kinship hums—your hush steadies others, mirrors their grit. I’ve felt it: gym grind, breath deep—second wind cracked an orb, zipped my lip—lived fierce, clear. Drama binds—silence is your steel, forged clean.

That second wind—lifting, shutting—splits the astral. That’s your peace’s forge.

How to Forge It

No drift—here’s your steel:

  • Flood the Quiet: Gym—lift ‘til second wind cracks—breathe deep, flood sexual/bio-electric energy—charge your grit. Shut it—drama flares, clamp down—stack calm. If an orb cracks—a surge—ride it; you’re forging peace.
  • Crack the Tale: Rant tempts? Stop—gym grind or gut shove—same forge, soap snaps—solve it, don’t sell it—truth holds. Kin vent—hear ‘em, skip the spin—heal flows.
  • Track the Drop: Log dreams—noise turns still, you rule. Loud or lost? Up the grind—your trap lags. Quiet dreams mean you’re live—trust hums.
  • Radiate Still: Live it—act fierce, mouth shut. Your charm’s a steel roar—others feel it, they rise. Silence heals—you lead.
  • Cycle Tie: Lunar full moon? Flood it—calm peaks. Solar summer? Forge high—win big. Daily noon? Grind fierce—own the now.

My Take

I’ve spun—ranted loud, sank—‘til I hit the gym, zipped it—cracked orbs, let it die—lived fierce, free. You’ve got this—flood it, shut it, rule it. This ain’t soft—it’s fierce steel, survival’s hush. Heal bold, warrior-quiet.

Emotions Can’t Reason – Forge Control from Chaos

Emotions hit hard—wild, raw, yours alone—untamed senses, not your reins. The OAK Matrix fuels it: opposites (feel/think) grind, awareness (your fierce mind) wakes, kinship (shared fire) binds. Crack an orb with a gym grind or gut check? Hell yes—rule it. This is survivalism’s edge—here’s how to channel it and win.

What’s This About?

Feelings flare—love, rage, joy—beyond your grip, extra eyes, not right or wrong. Guilt’s a lie—want to kill? Fine—act on it? That’s the line. Emotions scream—listen, don’t obey—why’s it there? Danger? Chance? Signals flare—mind decides, not heart.

Magic or muscle—emotions fuel, but reason steers—loose, they wreck; aimed, they soar. Gym ache says “stay down”—feel it, sure—mind says “up,” you rise. Emotions sense—reason rules—master that, and you’re steel, not storm.

Why It Matters

It’s your warrior’s reins. Opposites clash—emotion floods, reason cuts—and awareness wakes: you’re not slave to feeling, you’re its lord. Kinship hums—your control steadies others, mirrors their fight. I’ve felt it: gym grind, breath deep—second wind cracked an orb, fought the ache—won sharp. Chaos tempts—mind’s your steel, forged steady.

That second wind—lifting, ruling—splits the astral. That’s your will’s forge.

How to Forge It

No drift—here’s your steel:

  • Flood the Signal: Gym—lift ‘til second wind cracks—breathe deep, flood sexual/bio-electric energy—charge your grit. Feel it—rage, joy—track why, mind rules—act true. If an orb cracks—a surge—ride it; you’re forging control.
  • Crack the Flood: Emotions surge? Probe—gym grind or gut shove—same forge, reason snaps—channel it, don’t break. Inner voice hums—tune in, steer—will holds.
  • Track the Line: Log dreams—wild turns clear, you rule. Blurred or lost? Up the grind—your reason lags. Calm dreams mean you’re live—mind hums.
  • Radiate Reign: Live it—feel fierce, act sure. Your charm’s a steel roar—others feel it, they rise. Emotions fuel—you lead.
  • Cycle Tie: Lunar full moon? Flood it—signals peak. Solar summer? Forge high—win big. Daily noon? Grind fierce—own the now.

My Take

I’ve drowned—rage ruled, wrecked—‘til I hit the gym, reined it—cracked orbs, felt the why—lived bold, steady. You’ve got this—flood it, rule it, win it. This ain’t soft—it’s fierce steel, survival’s grip. Master bold, warrior-led.

Duality- Sexual Alchemy
The greatest secret of all time is the use of the male and female
energies to perform what is sometimes known as high magic. Because
of the puritan ethic that dominated society in the past death was often
the result of revealing too much. It is hoped today’s society will be
more tolerant of this sacred mystery.
In chapter one we explored the normal stages of male ego
development. Ego development and spiritual growth proceeded
through a series of stages or steps culminating in a type of awareness
beyond mental awareness that has been called Cosmic Consciousness.
This is the direct perception of self evident truth and the archetypal
nature of existence. This path of development has also been termed
the mystical path. It is driven through prayer and meditation.
In chapter two we took the opposite and suggested it may represent
the normal stages of female ego development. In retrospect we can
see this path represents biological stages of development with
emphasis on three distinct phases each female may progress through.
These are the stages of maid, mother and crone. They are driven by
biological factors. Family, relationships and service are very
important.
These two opposite paths both appear reasonable and logical and
we are confronted with paradox. Both views extend from the lowest
levels of awareness to the highest levels of awareness. Both are
natural opposites of the other.
Classic books like “Men are from Mars;Women are from Venus”
give further evidence that males and females do experience life
differently. I will go so far as to claim that males will default to a
spiritual/intellectual view of living while being intensely drawn
toward sensual/biological experiences. Males will be drawn to the
female path and experience it briefly but they can not sustain contact
with it.
Females will be intensely drawn to a spiritual/intellectual view of
living but default to sensual/biological experiences. They will be48
drawn to the male path and experience it briefly but can not sustain
contact with it. They will loose interest in constant head tripping.
Another factor of interest is that almost any female can experience
the complete range of ego development through dating, pregnancy,
child birth, and menopause. Some females may be more successful
than others but they all reach the pinnacle and regain their connection
with Goddess. This is a holistic path.
The male path is quite different in that many males are not able to
progress up the steps to the higher levels of ego development. They
remain stuck at uncompleted stages for their entire lives. Progress to
the next stage is not allowed until the current stage is mastered. This
is a linear path.
We form relationships with the opposite sex to help us grow as
individuals and as love partners. The dynamic energy exchange
between these two paths propel us to become whole.
In this chapter we will form connections between the two views
that reflect personal experience and help balance our inner male and
female aspects. The degree format is not used in this chapter. Instead
the male and female are seen as interacting with each other at ten
separate levels.
The similarity between this chapter and such practices as “drawing
down the moon” are noteworthy.
The man and woman agree to work together as an inseparable team
to accomplish their desired goals. Since they are meeting primarily on
the mental plane it is vital they have as many interests in common as
possible. These common interests will help to bridge the vast spiritual
gap that will face them later in the work and strengthen their sense of
purpose. They are drawn together through a magnetic attraction called
love. Romantic love relationships are sacred. Combined their energy
is magickal.
The man should have a very idealistic and spiritual nature. He will
be using male energy as a catalyst to lift her spiritual nature to those
spiritual heights where she can contact the Goddess within.
When this contact is made she becomes the Goddess and by
transforming his generated energy causes it to manifest objectively as
healing energy or she directs it for stated magical objectives. He has
the surplus energy she needs to achieve her goals. Alone his energy is
wild and undirected. Together they can achieve miracles.
Using the male and female energies correctly is a form of tantric
sex magic. This may or may not involve sex or orgasm. What is49
required is foreplay and sexual tension that is prolonged until intense
sexual, emotional, and spiritual energies are generated between them.
Through physical contact these energies merge into her aura and
stabilize. If they are fully clothed holding hands together will allow
this exchange of energies to take place. In essence any type of
male/female interaction will create sparks. This is the spark of sexual
excitement.
In magical work sincerity of purpose is important, not ritual.
Whatever is done must be original and meaningful to them alone. It
must inspire emotions and arouse their desires. To perform this type
of sexual alchemy takes time. Mentally and emotionally explore each
other step by step. There are ten steps.
Each of the following objectives must be mastered completely
before going on to the next. Each objective describes the male and
female response as the male generates spiritual energy and invokes
the Goddess within her. These steps are the two previous chapters
combined as they describe the romantic interaction between two
people in love.
There are ten stages or objectives that relationships progress
through under normal conditions. See if you can recognize these first
five.

  1. In this first objective the male struggles to be both body and spirit.
    He strives to become one with the Christ spirit within him while still
    maintaining an awareness of his physical body.
    He looks at her and recognizes the Goddess. He sees her as a
    spiritual being placing her on a pedestal and mentally kneels before
    her. He has expectations and standards for her that are so high only a
    Goddess could fulfill them. He does not feel worthy of her love. She
    feels his energy coming into her aura and body.
    Mentally she identifies with the spiritual Goddess within her and
    opens herself to embrace his energy. This is true Goddess love. She
    acts through instinct and recognizes what sensations his energy
    produces in her physical body.
    All options are explored. She allows this. She loves herself and the
    whole world. She accepts his worship of her. She is the Goddess. His
    love makes her feel lovable.
  2. In this second objective she becomes the ideal for him as he gets to
    know her better. Mentally he tries to understand her. She is beyond
    logic and reason.50
    All answers merely bring more questions. She is a great mystery.
    She is good, she is evil, she is life, she is death, she is sin, she is
    salvation, she is illusion, she is reality.
    His intellect is inadequate and he tries to intuitively understand her
    instead. He is in a complete intellectual fog and at her mercy. Words
    can’t express his feelings toward her.
    Her body rejoices with eagerness. Everything is right. She is a
    physical Goddess. Her body obeys her mind. she feels stability and
    peace. She has no expectations of him at all. Everything is new and
    fresh. All is fulfillment.
    She feels his energy influence her sensually. Her emotions are
    becoming aroused. There is great joy and freedom in exploring these
    new sensations. She identifies more and more with her body as she
    sees its effect on him. Her body can not be wrong. It can deal with
    anything that comes along. He is wrapped around her little finger. She
    uses her body deliberately to get reactions from him. She uses body
    language.
  3. He begins to trust his intuition above other things. She is the
    Goddess and he is in love. There is no one else for him or ever will
    be. She is his Goddess. He is content to bask in her radiance, to
    merely be close to her. He never felt he could find someone that was
    so right for him. It’s like a fairy tale dream. He wants to have sex with
    her. Her energy makes his entire body shiver.
    Her new body awareness is strange and she feels timid, shy, and
    uncertain. She feels weak and powerless compared to him. The very
    force of the emotions he is generating threaten to overwhelm her.
    Instead of reaching spiritual heights the force of his emotions is
    plunging her down the steep incline into sensual materialism.
    Recklessly and joyously she forsakes all spiritual values and lets it
    take her where it will. This is also part of being a Goddess. She wants
    to have sex with him.
  4. He finds joy and peace in daydreaming about her. He lets his
    imagination run wild as he explores fantasy after fantasy. His
    daydreams become more real than she is. It is what she spiritually
    represents that he is in love with. He tries to draw this Goddess down
    into her physical body with his imagination. When they have sex he is
    making love to the Goddess and not to her.
    She feels apprehension and sorrow at her sudden exposure to the
    intensity of his emotions. He is now generating tangible psychic force51
    and she must accept it and transform it. This force at first seems
    hostile and threatening. It stirs her emotions wildly. This is her first
    eye opening exposure to the forces that can be generated this way.
    It is both terrifying and exciting. How can he have so much energy?
    It is too much for her so she tries to channel his energy upward to the
    Goddess. Sex is not what she thought is would be and she
    instinctively feels that something is not right about how he feels about
    her. He doesn’t really know her.
  5. He realizes she is holding back and having difficulties with his
    energy. He turns his vast creative energies exclusively toward
    developing a type of energy she can work with. Through trial and
    error he examines the nature of the energy he is sending her. He
    perfects and refines each type of energy until he can send each type to
    her at will. Physical sex entraps both of them and she becomes
    pregnant.
    She is totally overwhelmed by the varieties and force of the energies
    he is sending. This is a totally new experience and she becomes afraid
    of loosing herself completely in this wild vortex of raw sensual,
    emotional, and spiritual forces.
    Even though she tries to be careful she finds herself being dragged
    deeper and deeper into his wild energies and she can’t escape. She is
    loosing control. He is beginning to dominate her. Then she becomes
    pregnant.
  6. At this point it is time for him to slack off and forget about
    romance for awhile. He should just enjoy her company and share
    social activities with her. They are going to have a child together.
    Sensual pursuits are fun. As he turns the power down she relaxes and
    they both turn to a life of total hedonism and enjoyment. She enjoys
    his company and needs his energy but only a little at a time.
    After a while she craves larger and larger doses of his raw energy.
    She learns how to deal with it effectively. It begins to give her power
    and energy and she can return some of it back to him in a new form.
  7. He thinks seriously about forming a permanent relationship with
    her. He pours his energy and vigor out to her with an intensity that
    borders on insanity because it is so strong.
    As she receives his energy she becomes completely self-centered.
    This is the only way she can effectively direct the forces he is
    generating. She has to be in total control, there can be no weakness.52
    She uses her will to focus his energy toward those things she desires.
  8. As she takes total control he begins to suspect she doesn’t love him,
    that she is just using him to get what she wants. What about the things
    he wants? He has to fight these doubts and be patient with her at this
    time. All she seems to care about is the child.
    The entire world spreads out before her. She can carve out of it
    whatever she will. She can use him and his energies as she wishes to
    achieve her dream. There is no mental hesitation or uncertainty. She
    goes for the achievement of her dream. She is having a baby!
  9. He seems to be only a servant to her but then he remembers that is
    what he wanted to be. She is the Goddess. He wanted to build her
    dream for her and now she is using his energy to do just that!
    Working together they are both achieving those things they wished
    for. This is the beginning of high magic. They are making a family.
    She is the Goddess, a force of nature, unstoppable. She perceives
    the karmic need for excitement, thrills, and vitality. She knows when
    to support him and when to bitch at him to get him fired up enough to
    do something. She gives him inspiration and takes from him what she
    needs.
  10. Blinded by his love for her he sacrifices himself. He projects
    everything he has and is into her. He is free of all personal desires and
    plunges into spiritual death and rebirth.
    She accepts his sacrifice. She embraces all that he is and resolves to
    make him complete in all things. It will take all of her power to
    completely contain his expansive energies but she sacrifices
    everything she is to do this.
  11. They merge. They are one. They are a single unit, a new being.
    There are no barriers between them. They have become one soul and
    one family.
  12. Their entire personal universe is now recreated on all levels in
    their image. All is realized, all is complete.

Romantic Love – Forge a Soul’s Fire

Why love? Why lose it? It’s primal—need, raw, pulling you to another’s flame. The OAK Matrix fuels it: opposites (me/you) grind, awareness (your soul’s spark) wakes, kinship (shared growth) binds. Crack an orb with a gym grind or heart’s leap? Hell yes—ignite it. This is survivalism’s deep dance—here’s how to burn bright and win.

What’s This About?

Love’s a pact—symbiotic, core-deep—men and women, Mars and Venus, craving what the other crafts. You dream of a soul mate—perfect fit, total sync—selfish, sure, but pure. Society fears it—two locked tight, world out—friends fade, collective cracks. Forces pry—duty, guilt—yet love’s selfish spark is gold, not rot.

It’s completion—vibrant, alive—your partner fills gaps, makes you whole. Puppy love’s crush fades—real love’s earned, hard-won—self-esteem first, then shared growth. Each lover’s a teacher—spiritual, mental, wild—building astral bodies, trading lessons ‘til one’s full, then parting free. Rare’s the one who masters all—most teach a piece, then go.

Why It Matters

It’s your warrior’s forge. Opposites clash—self craves, partner gives—and awareness wakes: you’re not half, you’re whole with them. Kinship hums—your fire fuels theirs, growth binds you. I’ve felt it: gym grind, breath deep—second wind cracked an orb, her love hit—lived fuller. Society dims it—love’s your steel, if you fight for it.

That second wind—lifting, loving—splits the astral. That’s your soul’s forge.

How to Forge It

No drift—here’s your steel:

  • Flood the Flame: Gym—lift ‘til second wind cracks—breathe deep, flood sexual/bio-electric energy—charge your grit. Love bold—seek her, give all—stack bonds. If an orb cracks—a surge—ride it; you’re forging love.
  • Crack the Void: Self first—esteem’s your root—then find her, teach, learn. Gym grind or heart shove—same forge, energies sync—growth flows. Let go—love frees, not binds.
  • Track the Spark: Log dreams—lone turns paired, you glow. Flat or lost? Up the grind—your soul’s slack. Soul dreams mean you’re live—fire hums.
  • Radiate Heat: Live it—selfish joy, shared light. Your charm’s a steel roar—others feel it, they rise. Love fierce—you lead.
  • Cycle Tie: Lunar full moon? Flood it—love peaks. Solar summer? Forge high—win big. Daily noon? Grind fierce—own the bond.

My Take

I’ve crashed—puppy love broke, marriage sank—‘til I hit the gym, loved fierce—cracked orbs, grew whole—found her, lasting fire. You’ve got this—flood it, forge it, rule it. This ain’t soft—it’s fierce soul, survival’s blaze. Burn bold, warrior-paired.

Like a Rock – Forge an Unshakable Stand

Sometimes life demands you’re a rock—firm, resolute, unbreakable—true to your gut, even staring down death. The OAK Matrix fuels it: opposites (yield/hold) grind, awareness (your iron will) wakes, kinship (shared resolve) binds. Crack an orb with a gym grind or fierce stance? Hell yes—lock it. This is survivalism’s fortress—here’s how to stand tall and win.

What’s This About?

Assaults hit—trials test—you plant your feet, a rock against the storm. Defense trumps attack—less juice, more hold—let ‘em tire, you stay strong. Hierarchy’s real—climb slow, earn your spot—someone’s displaced, they fight, not hate, just survival. No rush—time opens slots—retirements, gaps—yours if you’ve built it.

Threats come—your growth spooks ‘em—they lash out, desperate, old lions craving a fight over a cage. Stand firm—don’t shove—let ‘em break on you. Weak spots? They’ll poke—hold tight, turn flaws to steel. Victory’s quiet—earned, not forced—your rock holds, they crumble.

Why It Matters

It’s your warrior’s stone. Opposites clash—attack wastes, defend endures—and awareness wakes: you’re not prey, you’re bedrock. Kinship hums—your stand steadies others, echoes their grit. I’ve felt it: gym grind, breath deep—second wind cracked an orb, held fast—foes faded, I rose. Aggression flops—resolve’s your steel, unshaken.

That second wind—lifting, standing—splits the astral. That’s your rock’s forge.

How to Forge It

No sway—here’s your steel:

  • Flood the Stand: Gym—lift ‘til second wind cracks—breathe deep, flood sexual/bio-electric energy—charge your grit. Hold true—defend, don’t strike—stack power. If an orb cracks—a surge—lock it; you’re forging steel.
  • Crack the Rush: They push? Plant—tight lines, no tangle—let ‘em flail. Gym grind or foe shove—same forge, resolve holds—weak turns strong. Time’s your blade—wait ‘em out.
  • Track the Hold: Log dreams—shaken turns firm, you rule. Wobbly or flat? Up the grind—your rock’s slack. Steel dreams mean you’re live—stand hums.
  • Radiate Rock: Live it—firm faith, quiet might. Your charm’s a steel hum—others see, they steady. Foes break—you rise, earned.
  • Cycle Tie: Lunar full moon? Flood it—resolve peaks. Solar summer? Forge high—stand big. Daily noon? Grind fierce—own the line.

My Take

I’ve buckled—pushed, broke—‘til I hit the gym, stood rock—cracked orbs, held tight—foes crashed, I climbed. You’ve got this—flood it, hold it, rule it. This ain’t soft—it’s fierce stone, survival’s shield. Stand bold, warrior-unbent.

Intense Living – Burn Bright Every Day

Intense Living’s your war cry—stack every charisma, flood every energy, live full-out. The OAK Matrix drives it: opposites (grind/ease) roar, awareness (your astral surge) blazes, kinship (your fire lifts all) binds. Crack an orb with a gym rush or deep dive? Hell yes—unleash it. This is survivalism at peak—here’s how to ignite it daily.

What’s This About?

You’ve got layers—Etheric to Abstract Spiritual—each a charisma, each a reward. Flood ‘em all, half-hour bursts, max two—cumulative, yours alone. Etheric? Gym grind—aerobic, fun—hit that second wind, astral bursts free. Sexual? Stretch the waves—control orgasm, ride the peak—years forge raw pull. Lower Emotional? Face fear, flip it—rage to resolve. Upper Emotional? Chase thrills—risks, causes—joy hums. Concrete Mental? Learn new—expand daily. Abstract Mental? Debate hard—will steels. Spiritual? Pray, meditate—light glows.

It’s intense—daily effort, no slack. Crisis fades when you plan the thrill—love, honor, grit fuel it. Your dreams track it—happy, empowered? You’re live.

Why It Matters

It’s your full warrior. Opposites sync—effort builds, rest refines—and awareness wakes: you’re not coasting, you’re mastering. Kinship’s alive—your burn inspires, ties you to humanity’s soul. I’ve felt it: gym grind, breath deep—second wind cracked an orb, joy surged—led stronger. Half-ass it, and you’re dull—flood it, and you’re electric, unstoppable.

That second wind—lifting, risking—splits the astral. That’s your fire’s forge.

How to Burn It

No tame stuff—here’s your blaze:

  • Flood All: Gym—half-hour aerobic, ‘til second wind cracks—breathe deep, flood etheric juice. Sex—stretch the peak, astral hums. Fear? Face it—resolve roars. Thrills? Risk it—joy spikes. Learn—new fact daily, mind grows. Debate—will locks. Pray—light centers. If an orb cracks—a surge—ride it; you’re stacking power.
  • Push the Edge: Max two hours—overdo it, you crash. Hit each energy—gym, love, fight, learn—daily, fierce. Second wind’s your burst—astral floods, charisma builds.
  • Track the Blaze: Log dreams—vivid, strong, you rule. Flat or weak? Up the juice—your fire’s low. Type matches energy—joy’s Upper, will’s Abstract—gauge your burn.
  • Radiate Full: Live it—all energies, all you. Your charm’s a storm—magnetic, vital—others feel it, join it. You’re the spark—lead loud, love deep.
  • Cycle Tie: Lunar full moon? Flood it—peak all. Solar summer? Blaze total—own it. Daily noon? Grind fierce—rule the day.

My Take

I’ve coasted—dim, stuck—‘til I hit the gym, faced fears, flooded all—cracked orbs, surged alive. Dreams roared—joy, will, bonds—I shine, they follow. You’ve got this—flood it, push it, rule it. This ain’t soft—it’s fierce fire, survival’s all-in. Burn bright, warrior-full.

Concrete Mental Energy – Master Your Life’s Code

Learning’s a rush—new tricks, sharper eyes, waking up to the world. Concrete Mental Energy’s your tool—building the astral body that runs your brain like a slick machine. The OAK Matrix fuels it: opposites (clumsy/smooth) grind, awareness (your formula) sharpens, kinship (shared wins) binds. Crack an orb with a gym push or study grind? Hell yes—lock it in. This is survivalism with polish—here’s how to code your way to the top.

What’s This About?

This energy’s your sponge—sucking up life, turning mistakes into muscle. Start curious—question everything, soak it in. At first, you’re a puppet—authorities bark, you jump. Then you trip, fall, learn—each flop builds this astral layer. It’s not flashy creativity; it’s grit—formulas, strategies, like driving a car or charming a crowd.

Your brain’s a program—old habits flop in new spots ‘til you tweak ‘em. Copy the slick—successful folks’ playbooks—test, fail, tweak again ‘til it fits. The more you flood this energy, the smoother your code—complex, adaptive, universal. You’re the charmer, the pro—polished, predictable, magnetic—‘til life shifts, and you’ve gotta rewrite or get trapped.

Why It Matters

It’s your survival edge. Opposites shift—green stumbles to slick wins—and awareness wakes: you’re not flailing, you’re coding. Kinship hums—your polish inspires, others lean in. I’ve felt it: gym grind, breath deep—second wind cracked an orb, a formula clicked—nailed a deal. Authority’s a crutch—ditch it, build your own playbook, thrive.

That second wind—lifting, learning—splits the astral. That’s your code’s forge.

How to Master It

No fluff—here’s your hack:

  • Flood the Code: Hit the gym—lift ‘til that second wind cracks—breathe deep, flood sexual/bio-electric energy. Study life—watch, ask, try—each flop’s a lesson. If an orb cracks—a slick fix—lock it; you’re wiring sharp.
  • Tweak the Play: Pick a goal—job, charm, skill—test old moves. Flop? Steal a winner’s formula—tweak ‘til it sings. Gym sets or talk traps—same grind, polish ‘til it works.
  • Track the Wins: Log dreams—clumsy turns smooth, you rule ‘em. Stuck or weak? Up the juice—your code’s rusty. Success dreams mean you’re live—adapt fast.
  • Shine Slick: Live it—smooth talk, sure moves. Your charm’s a honed edge—others see, they vibe. Stay loose—don’t trap in old plays; rewrite when life shifts.
  • Cycle Tie: Lunar full moon? Flood it—code peaks. Solar summer? Peak slick—own it. Daily noon? Grind hard—master the day.

My Take

I’ve bumbled—followed orders, flopped hard—‘til I hit the gym, grilled life, cracked orbs—formulas stuck, charm flowed. Smooth now—others watch, I win. You’ve got this—flood it, tweak it, rule it. This ain’t soft—it’s mental steel, survival’s polish. Code sharp, warrior.

Developing Charisma – Charge Up Your Magnetism

Want charisma—that magnetic pull that hooks people? It’s yours to forge, a mechanical grind of sweat and spark. The OAK Matrix powers it: opposites (body/soul) hum, awareness (your astral juice) sharpens, kinship (your pull on others) binds. Hit the gym, breathe deep, chase that second wind—stress cracks an orb? Hell yes—tap it. This is survivalism with swagger—here’s how to light it up.

What’s This About?

Your body’s a battery—atoms, molecules, pumping energy like a capacitor: generate, store, blast. Hit the gym—lift, run, sweat—it charges. Your astral body’s the coil—magnetic fields, flux lines, your aura—repelling or attracting, pure conduction. Crank ‘em together, and you glow. Charisma’s that shine—built through grind, not luck.

Dreams gauge it—your astral self flexes there. Weak dreams? You’re flat. Power dreams—winning fights, cracking walls—you’re live. Study hard—cram for an exam, flood focus—and it spikes. Breathe right—deep, steady—find that second wind; it’s the rupture, the orb splitting wide. Seven energies fuel it—Abstract Spiritual to Etheric—tied to chakras from pineal to tailbone. Charge ‘em, grow ‘em, rule.

Why It Matters

It’s your warrior’s edge. Opposites sync—physical grit meets astral flow—and awareness wakes: you’re not just meat, you’re a magnet. Kinship kicks—others feel your pull, drawn to your fire. I’ve felt it: gym grind, deep breaths—second wind hit, dreams roared, charisma clicked. The world’s dark—charisma’s your light, survival’s charm.

That second wind—exam crunch or deadlift—cracks the astral planes. That’s your shot to amp up.

How to Charge It

No fluff—here’s your wiring:

  • Flood the Circuit: Hit the gym—lift heavy, run hard—generate sexual/bio-electric energy, daily, raw. Breathe deep—slow in, full out—feel it climb, loins to crown. Second wind hits? That’s your orb—ride it; you’re leaping bounds.
  • Crack the Mind: Study massive—exam looming, flood focus ‘til it ruptures. Same juice—charge your battery, juice your coils. Magnetic charm stacks with every push.
  • Track the Glow: Log dreams—three a week, minimum, strong and winning. Weak or scared? Up the grind—gym, breath, study—your astral’s starving. Learn their code—success dreams mean you’re live.
  • Pull ‘Em In: Live it—stand tall, act bold. Your aura hums—others feel it, no words needed. Rule dreams, rule life—charisma’s your proof.
  • Cycle Tie: Lunar waxing? Flood it—dreams spark. Solar summer? Peak your pull—shine loud. Daily dusk? Charge up—astral hums.

My Take

I’ve been dim—flat dreams, no pull—‘til I hit the gym, breathed deep, chased that second wind. Crammed ‘til my head cracked—energy surged, dreams flipped to wins, folks noticed. You’ve got this—grind it, breathe it, rule it. Charisma’s no gift—it’s your charge, warrior-built. Light up, survive, thrive.
