It´s maybe my fault, but here - ¨designed to turn on the Neurosomatic mental circuit to cancel out the restless bio-survival, emotional-territorial, Neurosemantic-Dexterity, and sociosexual circuits (Represented by the upright pentagram, as the reversed represents being controlled by the bio-survival circuit) and is thus written in allegory.¨ - I think that he/she sais that the ritual cancels out for a while that ¨bio-survival, [...] and sociosexual circuits¨, so I think he/she sais that Star Ruby is a sexual ritual only because it works to these energies in the body, but canceling them, not exalting them.

But in the end this comment doesn´t matter that much! I don´t even know where I found it!

Saying this they both have their uses. Personally I use the lBRP daily, it leaves me in a calm state in which I can function in day to day life. The star ruby leaves me in a sort of energised and more of a 'high' state which would not allow me to function for a little while, say half an hour, in the 'real world'.

I feel the same. Now I perform Star Ruby much more than LBRP, I don´t know, probably it will be only for a while, because I need to ground myself every time I perform it...

Months before I saw this comment for Star Ruby somewhere and I saved it :

¨The star ruby is an entirely sexual ritual, designed to turn on the Neurosomatic mental circuit to cancel out the restless bio-survival, emotional-territorial, Neurosemantic-Dexterity, and sociosexual circuits (Represented by the upright pentagram, as the reversed represents being controlled by the bio-survival circuit) and is thus written in allegory. Correct performance causes a stoppage of the other unconscious circuits leaving a peace so profound (for a time) that any action is difficult.¨

What do you think of this explicacion? I am still a bit confused about of it.

also I doubt this has the same efficacy for Greek people as it does for English speakers

hah"

I don´t think so. I am not an english speaker, I remembered some rituals in my language, like LBRP, because I thought I can express myself better if I´m totaly concient of what I say, but all the practice written by Crowley I perform it in English (or the language it was written). I think some sentences and words have a different "shine" in the different languages, and even if you cannot pronounce the greek words like a greek guy, these words give a special focus of this ritual. The other thing is that for greek people every word of Star Ruby has his meaning in the real life, they assosiate every word with something else, and for you these words are unique and have the proper meaning of the ritual is for, that is better for you and all non-greek speakers!

I really like to perform Star Ruby, I feel that is very diferent to LBRP, for me the N.O.X. signs makes that big difference.

And for the guardians that Star Ruby invokes I think this analysis is very good - lionserpent.com/xxvanalysis.html
