    It reminded me of an anamorphic tribal oath I liked.......( I was not ever into that anamorphic scene but a friend was, so I am guilty by association, the only thing I found of value in it was this oath)

    "I am darkness and light,
    the shadow hunter
    and king of the sun,
    my claws hold the earth,
    my tongue tastes the sky.
    i am steadfast and strong,
    compassionate and caring.
    i am tiger,
    and my words are pure."

    "No opinion per se, except that it isn't Liber Resh "

    Hahaha, oh, gosh. 😊 Of course!

    I searched through the thread and ITC issues and could not find a direct answer to this. When "performing" Resh and giving the "sign of your grade," are you visualizing the God form in your exact body position? So, instead of seeing the God in it's characteristic stance, you would instead see it in your grade sign?

    And I always thought that when I physically stand in the Sign of Grade (with eyes closed), I should imagine the God in it's characteristic posture. 😞
    If I'm wrong then what happens with the God-form when I change my physical posture? When should I release it?

    When assuming a god-form, you should experience it as your body. Its position should be your physical position unless you are withdrawing from it. When you change position, it also changes position.

    It's like your robe. Your robe doesn't keep its arms at its side when you raise yours, right? - But, even more so, it's your body, and you should entirely experience it as being your body, so far as possible.

    I understood, thank you 😀

    God-form assumed throughout the whole ritual? And the God-form is the only thing that I need to visualize in Liber Resh, right?

    No, because you're doing something entirely different when you go to the adoration.

    "Need to visualize" is a complicated phrase. I prefer not to publically talk about anything that's not explicitly in the text of Liber Resh to alluded to by it, especially when there are things one can discover in the doing, or which change over time, or which are individual (three different categories <g>).

    Simple answer, though, is, "Yes, that's all that Resh mentions, right?"

    I have problem with assumption of the Khephra god-form (Yea, man with the beetle head is really "CREEEEEEEPY", but it is not the case 😄 ) I can't understand, how speaks this god? I mean, from what hole?)

    Mr. Eshelman, сould you tell, how do you assume this god-form?

    Usually as a full beetle. Beetles have mouths.

    If you've seen any Grateful Dead shirts with the winged beetle, Kephra, you will notice two little "grabbers" or pincers on the mouth.

    Yes, I always have to make this type of reference, or half-morons won't turn into non-morons who go through enlightening websites.

    🍸

    What's really cool is during mid-day, you can take the god-form of a Cow. Chao. Kaos. Anyways, cows go "mu", and of course mu is the all-encompassing word meaning nothing or silence. Stand on your back, (or front) porch, and loudly proclaim "Mu!" Do this five times over seventy-three times for good luck, and ignore anyone who approaches you.

    😄

    The Picture is a picture.... Assumption is assumption. How you speak is irrelevant. Sometimes I think that my head is the head of the beetle and other times I try to see myself as others would see me as Khephra (the picture). Either way it does not matter as long as it comes from your mouth.
