A Brief Description of The Tree of Life

A Brief Description of The Tree of Life

The Tree of Life is an archetypal diagram of the manifested universe. Its application for programming is so mullti-facited that it can be considered a meta-programming or archetypal template. Because of its origins in antiquity and its sublime design it can provide the opportunity to achieve a quantum leap in categorizing the components of the manifested universe and in understanding it as a whole.
We at The Abrahadabra Laboratory of Research and The Temple of Babalon Pelada  abandon the arcain language titles for the spheres and the zones of this far more ancient map and categorizing tool. We, instead, use English titles with equivalent but contemporary meanings for our current society. This we do in the spirit of continuing to lift the veil of secrecy from natural phenomena and propagate knowledge so as to encourage it to be common.

The Ten Spheres within The Tree of Life are :
1. The Sphere of The Primordial Light
2. The Sphere of The Archetype Creation
3. The Sphere of The Archetype Formation
4. The Sphere of Realization
5. The Sphere of Action
6. The Sphere of The Living Self
7. The Sphere of Sensation
8. The Sphere of Mind
9. The Sphere of The Astral Plain
10. The Sphere of The Physical Universe

(Rada attributes from Louis Martinie's

The Tree of Life can be sub-divided into four regions for a more comprehensive understanding of its structure. All of these regions are fazes or areas of The One Phenomenon that we describe with
The Tree of Life. Life begins manifestation within The Primal Region and culminates with The Material Region. The sequence of paths leading from The Earth to The Primal Light, or from ignorance to enlightenment or evolution or Human Application Updating, moves from The Material Region to The Primal Region. You will see that the four regions are sub-divisions of the ten spheres that we use to describe The Tree.

1. The Primal Region
2. The Creative Region
3. The Formative Region
4. The Material Region

1. The Primal Region consists of :
(1.) The Sphere of The Primordial Light
(2.) The Sphere of The Archetype Creation
(3.) The Sphere of The Archetype Formation
2. The Creative Region consists of :
(4.) The Sphere of The Realization
(5.) The Sphere of Action
(6.) The Sphere of The Living Self
3. The Formative Region consists of :
(7.) The Sphere of The Emotional
(8.) The Sphere of The Mental
(9.) The Sphere of The Astral Plain
4. The Material Region consists of :
(10). The Sphere of The Physical Universe of Matter

1. The Primal Region is the eternal faze of the multiverse, beyond birth and death and time and space. It is beyond the mental regions and is thus inconceivable to humanity but can be thought of as the potential of all manifestation. All quantum possibilities have potentiality in this region.
Beyond Time and Space.
2. The Creative Region is the multiverse that is becoming manifest. The dual aspects becoming a point of expression, seen as the Ego (Self) or divine personality in humanity. A quantum possibility collapses into a chosen expression of the multiverse.
The Vudu Gods. The City of  Camps.
3. The Formative Region is the multiverse becoming complex forms. As the energy of manifestation radiates further from its primal beginnings, now individual aspects, the mental and emotional fields build the complex forms of our mind and emotions and result in the astral fields and then solidify further into forms built of ethereal or subtle matter.
The Loa, The Hoodoo Spirits, others, and The Dreamworlds.
4. The Material Region is what we see as the physical world. This is the only region of the multiverse system that is recognized or classified by present day science. Now, The Primal Light has collapsed into an expression and solidified into the forms of the system of the physical multiverse. This region is not to be conceived as a product that is cast off from the primal womb, but instead, as the outer form of the divine being or the physical flesh of the goddess.

The first six paths leading upwards on The Tree move from The Material Region into and through The Formative Region. In traversing these paths, the student meditates on and explores the lower Astral Plain of dreams and psychic phenomenon, Loa, and other Universes, and forces which build the forms of our physical multiverse and the higher Astral Plain of The Emotional Plain and Mental Plain that create these forms.
This region is the region of the first three chakras in the human chakra system.

Nemoria and Zothyria

Nemoria and Zothyria.
" Nemorian - These are those magickal beings which enhabit a planet having the star Rigel, in Orion, as its sun. The Nemorians are the race of beings present in the oricular minds of Michael Bertiaux and his people. They are extra-terrestrial beings living on Earth through thier own type of space-magick In many ways, they are of the same family as the Medjis of IFA, except that they are now living in a material world. They are not space-gods, but are semi-humanoids. A branch of the Nemorians are the Zothyrians, who who long ago entered an alterative universe and there set up an empire based on magickal principles."
- Michael Bertiaux, VGW
“ They hold the view that at a certain time in the past, a spaceship landed and some of the crew got lost
in the karmic veils of this world. (…) Those who were sent here belong to the planet Yuggoth, or Pluto,
and are usually attracted to the stranger forms of gnostic magick.
The space-people want to gather all of these humans into their magickal orders and then develop in
them that consciousness of the outside and the other which has been suppressed and driven down
deeply into the Id. Their whole method of magick consists in making humans aware of what it means to
be Yuggothian and Transyuggothian, to be Zothyrians, to be conscious of the bions as Energy-Alphas
and Energy-Etas, and to be aware of the real magick behind appearance.”
- Michael Bertiaux, VGW

A Four-Dimentional Cube

“ The initiates of The Black Snake Cult ( La Couleuvre Noire or LCN ) use a special symbol as a springboard to the aethyrs or extra-terrestrial dimensions. It is known as a ' liberation symbol ' and is in the form of a fourth-dimensional cube. Mental concentration on this symbol induces a deep auto-hypnosis which releases the astral body and enables it to pass through a certain part of the cube into other dimensions.”

The Temple of Babalon Pelada
Ritual of Unification
TBP.PsyComApp.R.Unification

 In our esoteric schools, traditionally, after the Psychic Computer Application of the Ritual of the Pentagram or
or the TBP Update or other variations, have been Run for some time and the student has experience in
influencing the elemental world of the Sphere of Earth and all this implies, we are introduced to the Psychic
Computer Application of Ritual of the Unification and the influence of the Celestial Bodies with the Hexagrm.
 The traditional symbol of hexagram consisting of two interwoven triangles represents the uniting of the
opposites, symbolized by the Macrocosm ▲ and the Microcosm ▼, so we are reinforcing the unified
relationship of all opposites as the Earth and the Heavens and, more specifically, all the aspects, elements, or
parts of the Multiverse with the Primordial Light. This is an especially important concept as we ascend the Tree
of Life and approach the Sphere of the Living Self and the Heart Chakra, where all forms in the Multiverse are
connected as One Soul.
 The concept of the Ritual of the Hexagram is to see the Universe as a Unity by combining the Macrocosm
and the Microcosm and also combining all the planets as one Unity. The Golden Dawn sealed this act with the
word :“ARARITA”
 which is a seven lettered anagram for the Hebrew sentence which means “One is His Beginning: One is His
Individuality: His Permutation is One ”.
 In the spirit of The Temple of Bablon Pelada and Abrahadabra Research Laboratory tradition of updating our
applications for ourselves and our targeted groups, we have developed a seven syllable anagram code derived
from the seven planets attributed to the Hexagram. This word is : “ Sajuma-Sol-Vemelu ”
This update provides a higher level of efficiency towards our perceived goal.
The beginning of Code represents the planets of Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars ( above the sphere of the Self on the
Tree of Life, or the Archetypal Universes and Beyond.), the central section of the word represents the Sun ( In
the Center of the Tree, The Living True Self ), and the end of the word represents Venus, Mercury, and Lua,
( Below the sphere of the Living True Self on the Tree, or The Mental and Astral Universes, the Illusory Self of
The Personality ). This infers and thus creates a current of energy from the Primal Light at the top to the Earth at
the base in a unified motion, thus achieving the same formula as the Old Aeon word but with an updated formula
based on our Latin languages and a more comprehensive illustration of the Tree of Life of which it is
representative.
 In this Ritual Application, using the Unicursal Hexagram, we invoke the seven planets attributed to the star,
from Lua to Saturn, moving up the Tree and finish with The Sun to Unify the whole. We also repeat the word
“Sajuma-Sol-Vemalu” eight times ( for Magickal Potency ) and unify the whole operation again with The L.V.X.
signs to create an explosion of astral light from one “Abrahadabra”.
 After the “Abrahadabra” facing East, To concentrate a meditation on a specific Sphere, Planet, or
Astrological Sign one can add an additional repetition of the invoking hexagram of the Planet corresponding to
that meditation. The symbol of the Planet is replaced by the symbol of the Astrological Sign when invoking the
Zodiac.

1. Stand in the Center of the Magickal Sphere facing East, and form the Cosmic Cross.
2. Say, “ Papa Legbha, please Open The Gates.
Papa Ghuédhé, please Protect Me and Guide Me.
For I am Your Servant.
Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law.
In the name of The Primordial Light
And The Mighty Hoodoo Spirits,
I recognize The Unity, Here and Now.
Consciousness is Continuous. Consciousness is One.
Sajuma-Sol-Vemelu. ”
. Draw the Hexagram of Lua, and say
“ The Energies of Lua Flow into Me.
 Sajuma-Sol-Vemelu. ”
4. Draw the Hexagram of Mercury, and say,
“ The Energies of Mercury Flow into Me
Sajuma-Sol-Vemelu. ”
5. Draw the Hexagram of Venus, and say,
“ The Energies of Venus Flow into Me.
Sajuma-Sol-Vemelu. ”
6. Draw the Hexagram of Mars, and say,
“ The Energies of Mars Flow into Me
Sajuma-Sol-Vemelu. ”
7. Draw the Hexagram of Jupiter, and say,
“ The Energies of Jupiter Flow into Me.
Sajuma-Sol-Vemelu.”
8. Draw the Hexagram of Saturn, and say.
“ The Energies of Saturn Flow into Me
Sajuma-Sol-Vemelu. ”
9. Draw the Hexagram of Sol, and say.
“ The Energies of Sol flow into Me.
Consciousness is Continuous. Consciousness is One.
Sajuma-Sol-Vemelu.”
10. Say “ Thank You, Primordial Light,
and Mighty Hoodoo Spirits. ”
11. Say “ Abrahadabra. ”,
Make the signs of L.V. X.,
and radiate your LIGHT.
12. Form the Cosmic Cross.

An Alter ...

Veve of Famille Ghuédhé

The Mighty and Lucky Hoodoo Spirits
are responsible for the results of all
Our Hoodoo Magickal practices.
Even when called by other names
And other traditions it they who facilitate
The Manifestation of Our Desires.

And Les Houdeaux are a sub-division
Of the Great Famille Ghuédhé.
The Omnipresent Spirits of the Dead
And Omniscient Transformation.
And thus comes the devotion to
The Ghuédhé
and the necessity of their presence
In Our Magickal Life.


This is my representation of
a veve of Michael Bertiaux from
 The Voudon-Gnostic Workbook
Part 1 - Voudoo Energies
Chapter 2: Ghuédhé Grimoire

Vudotronics

This is an example of a Vudotronics

Four-Dimentional Magickal Machine

to channel Magickal Currents from the Loa and Vudu.

This design came through

Michael Bertiaux and is shared in The Voudon-Gnostic Workbook.

Note the 4 crosses of 16 lines

And the 16 sides to the diamonds

And the 4 colors of the elemental energies

And cardinal attributes.

Mackines of this nature are considered Four-Dimentional because they have components in the astral and mental realms extending perpendicular to the physical plain.

The Portal of The Cross

Kenneth Grant on The Cross.

“ ...In Haitian Voodoo the waters beneath the earth typify the birthplace of the human race, viz : Guinea.

 The foot of the cross is the source of all mundane life and its summit points towards the extra-

terrestrial home of the Loa, the spirits who spangle the darkness of night with their star-fire. The magick mirror reveals the mysterious imagery to the initiate only at the point of intersection, thesupreme  marma. In this sense the cross is the true instrument of immortality and redemption from the waters. It is the gateway to other dimensions which it creates when it unites the three modes of consciousness represented by the watery abyss and the heavenly fire which is seemingly divided by the veil  of earth and air (land and sky).

….This is the Sign of the Cross(roads) over which Legba presides in the Rada, Rites, the rights based on cross of the cardinal points, the four ways or roads.... In the Voodoo Petro Rites, as distinct from those of the Rada, the emphasis is laid upon the the dimensions or pathways between the cardinal points...

…. The eight directions of space typified by the Asiatic Tantrics in their basic yantra of the eight-petaled lotus bears a similar significance. The magick mirror as a means of trafficking with spirits and:

seeing of past or future events reflected in its depths was based upon the 'waters' beneath the earth:

the subliminal abyss of the subconscious typified by the cross and its intersections of time-space- present symbolized vertical beam of extra-terrestrial and clairvoyant vision.”

This group is dedicated to the study and practice, or reaserch and development, of Voudon-Gnostic Science, which Reverend Micheal Bertiaux describes as a system of Meta-Magick, as it combines all systems of Magick.

  

A lot these comments come from my own viewpoint and experiences, Personall Work and Meditation on and with the Spirits that surround us constantly.

I encourage and petition all experienced practitioners of Hoodoo and Voodoo  and Gnostic devotions to contribute to this group.

Another point to note is that the order of these initial posts are significant and when meditated on in chronological order will

 activate a series of Psychic Computer Applications

Thus establishing and updating your interface

With the Multiversal Magickal Computer Network.
