What is consciousness but electricity?

"Mephisto wrote: Consider the lively Gemini (II)--these creatures neither toil nor spin, and yet the heavenly father provides for them. They fit perfectly the model of the Fool: flippant, careless, bound by nothing and in thrall to no creed. And yet, despite all their apparent nonsense and imbecility, a certain priceless genius tumbles from their lips--because they fail to take themselves seriously. As soon as one seeks to define (i.e.: limit) any subject, it ceases to become magical. The root and truth of all being is the eternal aspect of life: an ethereal, wonderful thing--and this is embodied in the term "eleven equals two," or, II=2. So, like the lively Gemini, give no thought for the 'morrow, and embrace the priceless madness of being.

As a fellow Twin, I salute that wonderful Truth.

It's like reading a book when you're young, then reading it again when you've grown up. You take something different away from it-- except that experience happens at least weekly. 😆

I think "fulgentissima" means "exceedingly brilliant"."

Well, that makes sense in its context. Thank you!

I agree with the sentiment that a huge portion of this ritual's symbolism derives from blood being drawn from the breast of the magician. I have experimented with various other forms of this ritual that I've come across online, including a form that turns it into a sex magick operation, but haven't found them to be as effective as Crowley's original. Liber Aleph's "De Cultu" specifies a few suitable rites for daily consumption of the eucharist. If it isn't your Will to draw blood (and assuming you don't have a full Gnostic Mass team/setup), perhaps you can combine the formulae and symbolism of these various rites into a ritual of your own that you can do?

Welcome to the forum 😀
