exercise, and maximization. It seeks to evolve the
initiated human from self-aware animal to a god.
This aspiration is not as preposterous as humans
conditioned to faith [for it is a de facto religious faith] in
their complete OU subjugation docilely accept. In fact the
reality is completely the opposite: Every individual
exercise of will, of choice, of discretion, and above-all of
creation is a manifestation of the Gift. Any thought,
expression, or action which is not the product of OU-
stimulated instinct flexes the Gift.
Humans’ failure to appreciate this phenomenon is
partly the result of masochistic self-indoctrination, but
also the seeming minimal impact of the Gift against the
intimidation vastness and omnipresence of the OU, and
of course the relentless barrage of perceptions of personal
identity only as the sum-total of OU-bodily senses and 4D
displacement boundaries.
Without seeing it as “initiation”, self-maximizing
individuals already defy OU-prison conditioning, most
obviously in the creative arts. Every Wagner opera, Clark
Ashton Smith poem, Paul Kantner song, Jules Verne
novel, Expressionist film or painting strains if not indeed
breaks the chains. The more extraordinary the
“violation”, to be sure, the more taxing the energy and
concentration demanded. The inertia and “gravity” of the
OU are strong and relentless, and the human body is
their creature.
Formal LHP initiation thus realizes that this same
body is a chain, a prison-cell. The Gift cannot be
completely free and omnipotent until the chain is broken,
the cell escaped.
Paradoxically and importantly, however, it is this very
environment of an OU body that enables each Set-created
MS to become aware of itself. The body provides a point
of reference, both in itself and externally, for the MS to
use to discern what it is vs. what it isn’t. A fish who has
- 166 -
known nothing but its ocean-existence has no concept of
“water” until it jumps into the air [or has the misfortune
to be caught].
LHP incarnates, whether artists or initiates,
experience the exhilaration of their occasional “jumps
into the air”. If they are seen to be too threatening to
conventionality, however - or as H.G. Wells ominously
storytold it, sighted men in “The Country of the Blind” -
they can expect to be “caught fish” and have their
offending eyes put out. Each LHP adventurer walks a
tightrope throughout his incarnation; only upon
successful transition to Neter-Xertet does he become free
not just of the OU prison but of its guards.
The challenge of LHP initiation is therefore to extract
the maximum utility from one’s OU-incarnation, and not
to abort it prematurely. Every exercise of one’s presence
though physical mechanism strengthens and refines self-
definition.
Equally emphatically the many avenues the physical
senses provide for communication and interaction with
other forma of life, and æsthetic appreciation of nonliving
phenomena of vast beauty and utility, must not be
prematurely cast aside, whether from unfamiliarity,
impatience, or indolence. The OU “ordeal” exists for a
very essential and vital reason. Preemptively aborting it is
not a “sin”, but it is the waste of a unique and invaluable
opportunity.
If the incarnate experience of the LHP artist or initiate
is more demanding than that of his RHP counterpart,
postincarnation both magnifies and relieves this tension.
The LHP MS now finds itself in a medium completely of
its own generation: a Subjective Universe (SU) in which it
is the defining neter.
As daunting as it sounds, an emergent LHP MS
therefore faces the prospect of creating its own SU, or
even multiple SUs. It can also blend these with the OU of
- 167 -
the natural neteru, or with SUs of other LHP MSs -
including the “Form”-SU of Set himself. The old physical-
incarnate constraints and energies of the OU no longer
apply, except insofar as a MS may elect to observe them.
Thus whereas a RHP MS feels no inclination to ignore
or violate the harmony of the natural- neteru OU, a LHP
MS may elect to behave much the same for the most part,
but reserving the discretion to veer off from it in SU
ingenuity as inspiration occurs.
There is no limit to the richness of an individually-
created SU, of course, and it may have direction and
purpose or be delightfully random. I can think of no
better example of such an SU as rendered in English than
Clark Ashton Smith’s magnificent The Hashish-Eater,
readily available in both book and Internet-online
formats. If you elect LHP transition to your personal
divinity and immortality, this is very much the “canvas”
that awaits you.
I. Meta-Morphosis
The moment when the MS discards the physical body,
e.g. [physical] “death” is less agreed-upon than most
humans suppose.
In 1981 a Commissioners’ Conference on Unites States
Laws proposed a model state law entitled the Uniform
Determination of Death Act, since adopted by some but
not all states. It reads:
An individual who has sustained either (1)
irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory
functions, or (2) irreversible cessation of all functions of
the entire brain, including the brain stem, is dead. A
determination of death must be made in accordance with
accepted medical standards.
- 168 -
This suffices in the OU to discard bodies no longer in
use by their MSs, but it is an unsubstantiated overreach
of OU materialism to claim that the absence of brain-
electricity proves the obliteration of the mind, i.e.
consciousness - which as shown herein is a field85, not a
physical mechanism.
MindStar argues this from the Egyptian-metaphysical
methodology of anamnesis, but for those humans still
unfamiliar with and thus hesitant to rely upon it, the
materialism-myth is easily refutable in conventional,
exoteric language as well:
1. Brain activity isn’t the same as thinking, feeling, or
seeing.
2. No one has remotely shown how molecules acquire the
qualities of the mind.
3. It is impossible to construct a theory of the mind based
on material objects that somehow became conscious.
4. When the brain lights up, its activity is like a r
adio
lighting up when music is played. It is an obvious fallacy
to say that the radio composed the music. What is being
viewed is only a physical correlation, not a cause. 86
MS/brain separation can originate with either the
lower function of the khat or the higher of the ab:
85 Cf. Chapter #5.B.4. For instance physical sensory & body-
functional mechanisms can be traced to specific sections of the brain,
but thoughts and memories cannot be localized, nor measured in
terms of access speed/complexity.

1. Khat-alyst
This is the disconnection with which humans are
commonly, if not conscientiously familiar. It is what is
regarded as “natural death”, especially when the “soul” is
believed either not to exist at all (atheism, agnosticism),
or to exist in only a very vague, crude way (J/C, etc.
mythology).
a. Khat-alepsy
The khat can cease to interact between the body and
the other, higher emanations if the body “wears out”, e.g.
“natural causes”. In the most comfortable circumstances
this transpires with peaceful unconsciousness or sleep. In
more advanced, civilized countries it may be anticipated
and eased further with “palliative” care and/or drugs.
b. Khat-astrophe
Sufficient damage to the body, as in accident, war, or
murder, disrupts the functionality of the khat, such that
the other emanations are also “cast adrift”, as well as
sensing in their several avenues the traumatic shock and
pain of the body. While these vanish upon disconnection,
a return to MS cohesion of the non- khat emanations
requires that much more concentration, while the body-
attached khat may be temporarily or permanently
incoherent depending upon the degree of physical
damage.
2. Ab-solution
In more refined interrelationships between the MS
and its indwelled body, the passive failure of the khat-
linkage is replaced by one of deliberate disengagement, as
- 170 -
accomplished by the ab-emanation. This may be
approximated as the MS “asserting full control of the
body”, and then retiring its activity in a single, smooth
“discontinuation”.
a. Ab-sense
A purely ab-controlled transition, achievable in some
individuals of high initiation, is illustrated by the “Secret
of the Golden Flower” (C#5.C.1).
The ab eschews violence to either the khat or the
body. In The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien asserts
this capability as one of the privileges of the passing
“Atlantean” race of Númenor [emphasis mine]:
At last Aragorn felt the approach of old age and knew
that the span of his life-days was drawing to an end, long
though it had been.
Then Aragorn said to Arwen: “At last, Lady Evenstar,
fairest in this world, and most beloved, my world is fading.
Lo! we have gathered, and we have spent, and now the
time of payment draws near.”
Arwen knew well what he intended, and long had
foreseen it; nevertheless she was overborne by her grief.
“Would you then, Lord, leave your people that live by your
word?”
“Not before my time,” he answered, “for if I will not
go now, then I must soon go perforce. And Eldarion our
son is a man full-ripe for kingvship.”
Then, going to the House of the Kings on the Silent
Street, Aragorn laid him down on the long bed prepared
for him.
Then he said farewell to Eldarion and gave into his
hands the winged crown of Gondor and the sceptre of
Arnor.
Then all left him save Arwen, who stood to plead with
him to stay for awhile. She was not yet weary of her days,
and thus she tasted the bitterness of the mortality that she
had taken upon herself.
“Lady Undómiel,” said Aragorn, “the hour is indeed
hard, yet it was made even in that day when we met under
the white birches in the garden of Elrond where none now
- 171 -
walks. And on the hill of Cerin Amroth when we forsook
both the Shadow and the Twilight, this doom was
accepted.
“Take counsel with yourself, Beloved, and ask
whether you would indeed have me wait until I wither and
fall from my high seat unmanned and wittless.
“Nay, Lady, I am the last of the Númenoreans and the
latest King of the Elder Days. To me has been given not
only a span thrice that of the Men of Middle-earth, but also
the grace to go at my will, and give back the gift. Now,
therefore, I will sleep.
“I speak no comfort to you, for there is naught for
such pain within the circles of the world.
“The uttermost choice is before you: to repent and go
to the Havens and bear away into the West the memory of
our days together, that shall there be evergreen but never
more than memory; or else to abide the Doom of Men.”
“Nay, dear Lord, that choice is long over. There is now
no ship that would bear me hence, and I must abide the
Doom of Men whether I will or I nill: the loss and the
silence.
“But I say to you, King of the Númenoreans: Not until
now have I understood the tale of your people and their
fall. As wicked fools I scorned them, but I pity them at last.
For if this is indeed, as the Eldar say, the gift of the One to
Men, it is bitter to receive.”
“So it seems,” he said, “but let us not be overthrown at
the final test, who of old renounced the Shadow and the
Ring.“In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold!
we are not bound for ever to the circles of the
world, and beyond them is more than memory.
Farewell!”
“Estel, Estel!” she cried; and with that, even as he
took her hand and kissed it, he fell into sleep. 87
As a devout Catholic, whose Ainulindalë echoed John
Milton’s creation-epic of God/ Eru and his angels/ Ainur,
Tolkien could be expected to lament the BBS “Doom of
Men” that Aragorn and Arwen had been assured awaited

Mifflin, 1954 et seq., Collector’s Edition, Appendix A.I. “Númenorean
Kings”, pages 3343-4.

both of them as humans. What they didn’t know had been
revealed by King Angmar (formerly Ar-Pharazôn the
Golden) to the Wizard Pallando the Blue, at Barad-dûr in
Mordor, shortly before the siege of Minas Tirith, 3019 of
the Third Age:
I often wonder, Blue Wizard, at how little of Númenor
was known either to the Ainur in Valinor or to the several
races and realms of Middle-earth. Had it been otherwise,
that island might still be above the waves of the Belegaer
today, nor Beleriand itself broken. The Men of Númenor
had, in their three thousands of years as a culture, grown
beyond the Men, Elves, Dwarves, and other beings here,
and indeed beyond also the Valar in Aman themselves.
Before you disbelieve, for I see that you would, remember
that the Elves, beautiful of form and immortal upon Arda
as they may be, are yet thus bounded in their existence. As
for the Valar, while they may bend and hurt this world
mightily, still dare they not but as allowed by Eru Ilúvatar,
to whose mindless, changeless service they are eternally
enthralled, save only one.
But we Dúnedain - for indeed I am Númenorean -
discovered that, though our lives be limited on this world,
neither are our bodies entwined with it as the Elves and
Dwarves. We Men are not thus imprisoned to it, but by our
will may continue beyond it through all dimensions and
distances of the universe. Nor are our minds condemned
never to venture beyond that of Eru Ilúvatar, as are those
of the Ainur - save only one. Indeed, Blue Wizard, as you
are of the Maiar, I speak here beyond your own ability to
comprehend. But this that you cannot understand is the
Gift and Doom of Men, and that is what Númenor learned,
and that is why the Valar feared, and destroyed,
Númenor.88
What Aragorn did not know, therefore, was that
within his Earthmortal body burned the immortality of
not just the “circles” of the OU created by Eru Ilúvatar

(“the One”) and ordered by the [natural] Ainur, but of the
SU-creative Gift of Melkor.
Further that, in relinquishing her Quendi (Elven) Life-
force for that of Númenorean Mankind, she had freed her
MS from its OU-bounded continuation to the limitless
Being now before Aragorn. 89
b. Ab-sence
Unfortunately for post-Númenor humans, the ability
to simply ab-dicate one’s body at will has been lost along
with that thrice-span incarnation. The closest
approximation is accomplished by body-deactivation
pharmaceuticals, e.g. “physician-assisted suicide” (PAS).
