CHAPTER THIRTEEN: DARK ASCENT<br />
manifest. As the successions continue, the mind and body will move<br />
towards a plateau of Being, where the preparations of the past, the<br />
actions of the present and the desires for the future wiII merge. As this<br />
moment of Union draws near, a unique state of rapture wiII begin to<br />
build within you, the incantation moving forward in a frenzied haste<br />
to clutch Eternity and devour it whole. The brain will tire of the<br />
redundant phrase and wiII cease to pay it any attention, allowing the<br />
remainder of the Self to continue without its interference. You may<br />
find that the repetitious words of the invocation begin to muddle, some<br />
being transposed, some being misspoken or left out altogether while<br />
other words may even be replaced with new ones, fresh words that ring<br />
of the same alienic vibration, yet never were before seen in writing or<br />
heard in speech. The repetitions will increase in speed and fervor<br />
exponentially until each word melts with the ones before and after it,<br />
and the entire phrase disappears, yet the Being, the Self, still buzzes<br />
with the electricity of it. It is as if the incantation has reached the<br />
critical mass that is the single necessary component in this Operation<br />
and exists independent of the wiII of the Operator. The incantation<br />
continues to repeat itself in the air of the Temple, heard by the Magician<br />
and his God alone.<br />
Having given the initial invocation and engaged in the<br />
contemplation upon the symbol of the cross before you, and having<br />
thus opened your senses to the lingering presence of the Deity whose<br />
name you have called, give now the following incantation, as instructed<br />
above, giving the name of your God in place of N.:<br />
Teat astru malku N.<br />
Seine astru maella treine N.<br />
Altu sentu estru N.<br />
Ecks entru antra N.<br />
N. astru teat N.<br />
As the repetitions of the incantation bring about the necessary<br />
rapture, the presence of the Godform to whom you call out will<br />
strengthen and congeal within the Temple walls. When the verbal<br />
intonation of the phrase disappears, you will find yourself surrounded<br />
by your God, enveloped by Him, your skin burning by His omnipresent<br />
touch, your breath spilling out into the air that has become Him.<br />
