Ascension and Thelema?
-
Still trodding through several extremely intense books on the subject of Ascension (which I'll list below), and coming from the perspective of a pretty studious follower of the instruction manual for direct connection to the titanic powers of Sun, Star, Moon, Earth, and the transmitter body, I've been trying to communicate to these various parcels of my self's studies and practices with Thelema.
The New Aeon which is born of the Planetary and Celestial Intelligence is, in this syncretic perception, a unique Earth process (which is "thee product"), appears as an irruption of the the sometimed primal, othertimed futuristic rise of the personal intelligence into Union with a Higher Intelligence (to be entrained to a higher resonance, in Bentov's view), thereby raising all connections in one's life to the influence of this Genius. In particular instances, when one is uniquely in harmony with one's Ascended Self, having been chosen, the "Inflation of the Magickal Ego" can occur and bloom throughout one's personal universe, til one can literally sense the resonance inherent in each object and subject within one's ever extending awareness (although to avoid being labelled schizophrenic or psychotic, considering your seeing "yourself" in "itself and everything else", it must be taken to the proof, or at least render some kind of profit other than the less-than-desirable "inflated ego", which is in this sense not really an ego at all). In The Instruction Manual this is seen as the Ego beginning as a Germinating Seed in the ripe soil of the Body and Life, which if correctly and carefully tended grows out beyond the "pot" (here the plant metaphor ends) and virtually shifts all other resonant capable "awarenesses" into a higher resonance, this being the true "Inflation of the Magickal Ego", the "Crowing of the Conquering Child" who in Ma'at "grows up".
Some ascensionists (who may possibly not be friendly to Thelema for reasons which are entirely NOT Thelema's fault (how can electricity be villified for the actions of an electric eel for example) postulate that in our own dimensional light-matrix the specific addition of extra pairs of chromosomes will literally make "giants" out of us. One ascensionist don is of the belief that this could be up to 50-60 feet tall.
On another subject of the Instruction Manual and the ascension literature, the existence of Planetary Genii (such as some HGA's might very well be) is practically a certainty (as an operating model, but also in daily operations. Some ascensionists literally have "tea with Gabriel" like Blake). I won't dare to speculate on the Messenger of the Aeon, but for those with greater scope and depth of knowledge and interaction with the Genii, communication is possible about the subject.
A further point of interest (I apologize for being brief in this briefing, but it's A LOT of material to sort through for corresponding supplementary and complementary elements) is that a written "object" can literally be "more than the sum of it's parts. Much, much more". Whether considered as a blueprint, an initiatory catylst, a "boiling-point", or even a magickal computer (which the best, imho, acensionist lit is extremely keen on), the Holy Writ is not meant to ever be interpreted in a sense which can be communicated in the same way one discusses a television show or cuisine, it's meant to be a tool (or a weapon) for the Ascension of the Aspirant to the state of Qualified and Worthy, and as a tool it is in acutality a "machine", numerological and very, very functional.
In the proper substrate such a "tool" can and will be instanteously life changing, firing up a sense of certainty which itself transcends the diversities of certainty and doubts. A hammer can and will put a nail in the wood if you hit it on the head, so to speak. Take this as you will, I won't "hammer" you any more with my "hammertime", I'm not Thor, for Odin's sake.

Crowley wisely wrote: "...it is spoken of the Sephiroth and the Paths; of Spirits and Conjurations; of Gods, Spheres, Planes, and many other things which may or may not exist. It is immaterial whether these exist or not. By doing certain things certain results will follow; students are most earnestly warned against attributing objective reality or philosophic validity to any of them."
I believe you are doing exactly that: attributing objective reality to these 'genii' and 'intelligences,' and therefore getting caught up in theological-metaphysical minutia that have no real practical relevance to the Path. This can be seen in such statements as: "Some ascensionists (who may possibly not be friendly to Thelema for reasons which are entirely NOT Thelema's fault (how can electricity be villified for the actions of an electric eel for example) postulate that in our own dimensional light-matrix the specific addition of extra pairs of chromosomes will literally make "giants" out of us. One ascensionist don is of the belief that this could be up to 50-60 feet tall. "
Frankly, who cares? Aside from this, on the face of it, being completely ridiculous and un-scientific, it - even if it were true - is completely irrelevant from a practical standpoint. I hope you consider that these kinds of musings may be entertaining but can be easily seen as intellectualized distractions from the actual Path of doing Work.

I care! It sounds cool, and "if certain results will follow" actions that are casual of them then why not make it possible for developments beyond the ordinary.
A careful examination of this subject is as follows: As a budding subgenius I was well aware of the Xist power to transform my life, and was warned by the hierarchy's bots not to follow the path, but being a full fledge fool (although at no point dispicable, at least no one had the guts to testify to it) I did everything in my power to contact these exists until one night with the tv set to a porn channel that I had no access too (it had nice music) I was R-U-P-T-U-R-E-D without any warning, and it felt like being devoured by the very air itself as if I was utterly incapable of resiting it's overwhelming nanoforces... I ran, on what shreds of instinct battled the the growing darkness, out of my room, screaming in tones that would scare even the hardiest necromancer, and woke up my entire family. My father told me he was dreaming that we had been nuked, although being far more powerful a mind than mine, he manifested a decorum worthy of a long-time householder, employee, husband and ex-marine, with his own list of terrifying traumas, including at least 2 horrific suicides, including his first wife (mother of my much traumatized sister).
I point this out because ever since I have been picking up on skills and finding things almost as if they were mine, and using them in the way they were designed to be used, in just a fashion they desired to be used, as well as everything else. And the Ascensionism gave me the slack to get out of the low ways without causing anything but blessings along the low way.
Now I am in the veritable Empyrean of pure undiluted space. Joel Webb taught me about surfaces and their interactions, and despite his war against ex-marines and their sone born through Jehovah's Witness mothers (an odd profile but one he insanely raged against, with full futility in the depths of Hawaii's huna country).
All I can say is that, it may not be yours to take or make, but perhaps it is, and there is no fear in this, but you too can have MWOWM in your own way, especially if "Bob" lets you have the White Stone.
