Hi, Guys! How are we doing? 

We come now to some Planes/Tree Working?

Those members of the Ophiel group who have chosen to give the/their Cosmic Egg Exercise a ‘go’ and practice it for the two minutes per day minimum are/will be in position to follow this presentation ‘out.’

Look at the bottom of your Tree/Map and you will/shall see the last circle called/named Malkuth. If you look at Ophiel’s Tree/Map in his first book, The Art & Practice of Astral Projection you will/shall see that it is a circle which has been ‘sectioned’ with a criss-cross making/giving it four quarters. 

IT WOULD ‘BENEFIT YOU’ TO MAKE AN EFFORT TO ‘REALISE’ THAT THIS IS ‘ONE PLANE’ THAT YOU ARE ‘LOOKING AT!!’ THE ELEMENTAL PLANE, OF THE ELEMENTAL FORCE, OF THE ELEMENT OF EARTH!! (Yes? No?) 

Here is a quote from the previous Flying Roll, Egg Affirmation part 2, 2010, by Ophiel from his vignette, An Exercise in Preliminary Projection: 

“As usual, I am re-discovering something that has not been put down plainly in any of the books.	I am going to ask and wonder if there is not some kind of ‘sub-plane,’ a ‘sub-Etheric Plane,’ which is very close to the physical, but which is neither physical nor Etheric. It has been suggested that the planes between the “Real” Earth and the “Real” Etheric could be the Elemental Planes of the Elements. And it is possible to project to these planes, a fact which I had never seriously considered before this time. I suppose it could be considered one of my failings that I don’t cognise a thing until I fit it in somewhere, somewhere into my workings, and when once a working place appears, then I recognise/re-re-recognise the whole and reorganise the set-up all over again. Such is what happened here when I held up the ‘non-orientation’ of myself long enough to discover/rediscover that this was taking place on another kind of plane than formerly I had functioned on.” End quote. (Capitols are ‘O’s.)

The Plane between the ‘Real Earth’ (Outer, outer Physically Physical) and the ‘Real Etheric’ (Etheric Plane) is the Elemental Planes [4] of the Elements (Air, Fire, Water & Earth) this is what we have/were ‘discussing?’ at the start of the year (January 2010) before the ‘view points’ of some other members were given before the presentation was even started.”” End quote. 

Here is what Ophiel writes in his third book, The Art & Practice of the Occult, pages 37 and 38, in the e-book version by Stephen Walford, in the file section of our group. 

“In reaching the Elemental Force of Air, in our studies, we have completed the quadruple set of Elemental Forces. We can now proceed to consider these Forces in their relation to each other more fully and completely after we have considered Air in our usual way. Please notice again that it is the Quality of Air and Fire, Water, and Earth that we are considering and not the REAL Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.
But we do, and can deduce, and learn from the study of the “real” Forces what the “hidden” Forces are like, and these hidden Forces are the ‘stuff’ from which our Physical Cosmos is built “out of”. The bricks as it were. In the sense of thinking in the form of building bricks of a Cosmos, Air is, would be is the “foundation” material from which all the others come from.
We, following our accustomed manner of thinking and with our ideas of heavy and light would be most liable to regard the Elemental Force of Earth as a foundation whereas it is a “result” and not a cause. Air is the first Elemental Force to come into “existence”. That is the first Elemental Force to come forth, as it were, out of what lies beyond the physical cosmos and into Physical Ken. 
Later we may change and add to the above statement that AIR is the first after Akasha. We will treat the Akasha more completely as we go along but we are still in the beginning part of this book and I am going “up” backwards as I said before. One of the older Hindu writers on this subject treats all five of the Tattvas as being equal to each other but it never seemed to me that Akasha was the same degree as the four Air, Fire, Water, Earth were. As Akasha CHANGES INTO THE OTHERS and the others do not change into each other in the sense that Akasha is the “base” for them all; I have now introduced you to the four main Elemental Forces of the Physical Plane world and Akasha which is not really “of this world.” The four Tattvas and their different fifth Tattva constitute the WHOLE of the Physical Cosmos and your understanding of them should help you out greatly and in attainment of this understanding which is the object of this book.” End quote. (Capitols are ‘O’s.) 

1. Please notice again that it is the Quality of Air and Fire, Water, and Earth that we are considering and not the REAL Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.
 
“AND NOT THE ‘REAL’ (Outer, outer physically physical) Air, Fire, Water and Earth” 

2. In the sense of thinking in the form of building bricks of a Cosmos, Air is, would be, and is the “foundation” material from which all the others come from. We, following our accustomed manner of thinking and with our ideas of heavy and light would be most liable to regard the Elemental Force of Earth as a foundation whereas it is a “result” and not a cause.

“LIABLE TO REGARD THE ELEMENTAL FORCE OF EARTH AS A FOUNDATION, WHEREAS IT IS A ‘RESULT’ AND NOT A ‘CAUSE!!!’ (Elemental ‘Force’ of Earth is a ‘result’) 

3. As Akasha CHANGES INTO THE OTHERS and the others do not change into each other in the sense that Akasha is the “base” for them all;

“AND THE OTHERS DO NOT CHANGE INTO EACH OTHER IN THE SENSE THAT AKASHA IS THE ‘BASE’ FOR THEM ALL.”

It is this ‘REVERSE THINKING/FEELING’ THAT THE ‘ELEMENTAL EARTH’ IS A ‘RESULT!!?’ AND NOT A ‘CAUSE?’ THAT IS IMPORTANT TO US!! (Which is ‘why’ we are told/instructed to, ‘FEEL THAT WE ‘HAVE/USE’ OUR O/C/T/IT ALREADY!! [Yes? No?])

Back to our Tree/Map!

If the/these ‘others’ (Air, Fire, Water & Earth) DO NOT CHANGE INTO EACH OTHER, THEN HOW DO WE GET THEM TO ‘WORK?’
Go to Ophiel’s book, The Art & Practice of Caballa Magic, page 122, in the e-book version by Stephen Walford in the file section of our group and you can see there that Ophiel has given us a page of Tattva Symbol Combinations for all Five Planes. Once you have that page in front of you, take a blank sheet of paper and Draw Five large circles in a descending row, top to bottom on it and put a criss-cross in each of them! As you write the names, in your criss-cross circles, DO THIS IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION!!

In the first circle starting at the top, going clock wise, put in each quarter,

Air of Akasha, Water of Akasha, Earth of Akasha and last, Fire of Akasha:

In the next circle starting at the top, going clock wise, put in each quarter,

Air of Air, Water of Air, Earth of Air and last, Fire of Air:

In the next circle starting at the top, going clock wise, put in each quarter,

Air of Fire, Water of Fire, Earth of Fire and last, Fire of Fire:

In the next circle starting at the top, going clock wise, put in each quarter,

Air of Water, Water of Water, Earth of Water and last, Fire of Water:

In the last circle starting at the top, going clock wise, put in each quarter,

Air of Earth, Water of Earth, Earth of Earth and last, Fire of Earth:

MENTALLY/EMOTIONALLY/IMAGINATIVELY, ‘ABOUT FACE’ AND ‘BACK INTO’ ANY OF THE/THESE CIRCLES AND EVERYTHING WILL/SHALL BE ‘IN-PLACE’ FOR YOU!! (Fire on your right, Water on your left, Air on your head and Earth at your feet) THIS EXERCISE WILL/SHALL ‘ENCOURAGE’ YOUR ‘UNDERSTANDING?’ OF THE REVERSE-NESS OF THINGS!! (See/Read file number 19 Egg Affirmation part 4, in the file section of our group, for an idea of what is meant) We, (sender) are, at the moment, discussing Elemental Earth, in this/these monologues for the year 2010, but for this/these ‘examples’, we are going to look at some of the others, in order that you can get a ‘wider view’ of what is ‘MEANT?’ In his third book, The Art & Practice of the Occult, Ophiel writes many times that it is the ‘PRINCIPLES’ of the/these Elemental Forces that he is writing about and “AND NOT THE ‘REAL’ Air, Fire, Water and Earth!” (Number 1, in the above list)

Next, ‘look’ at your sheet of paper with its five criss-cross circles, and draw a ‘line’ between each one, starting below the Akasha Circle and finishing with the Water Circle, thus giving you FIVE PLANES! OR FIVE CIRCLES BY THEMSELVES!?

Ophiel writes that each plane; CONSISTS OF ITSELF, (Akasha of Akasha, Air of Air, Fire of Fire, Water of Water and Earth of Earth) PLUS THE “PRINCIPLES!?” OF THE OTHER FOUR ELEMENTAL FORCES! ALSO, THE/THESE FIVE CIRCLES THAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT ON YOUR SHEET OF PAPER, IS/ARE YOUR ‘COSMIC EGG!!!!’ THAT YOU WORK WITH/TOUCH EVERYDAY, FOR TWO MINUTES MINIMUM!!

Picture this ‘example’ if you can and ‘use it’ for the other circles on your sheet of paper.

I am in/on the Plane of Water and I ‘see’ Elemental Water that is, behaving like, looking like, working like, operating like, THE ELEMENTAL PRINCIPLE, OF THE ELEMENTAL FORCE, OF THE ELEMENT OF AIR! I am now ‘observing’ the Air of Water!? 

This, Air of Water, IS STILL ALL WATER!! THERE IS NOTING IN/ON THE PLANE OF WATER THAT IS NOT WATER!!?? IF IT WASN’T ‘ELEMENTAL WATER’ IT WOULD NOT ‘BE!!!!???’ IN/ON THE PLANE OF WATER!! IT WOULD ‘BE?’ IN/ON SOME OTHER PLANE!! (Only Akasha ‘makes’ the ‘transition’ from plane to plane?) 

I am in/on the Plane of Fire and I ‘see’ Elemental Fire that is, behaving like, looking like, working like, operating like, THE ELEMENTAL PRINCIPLE, OF THE ELEMENTAL FORCE, OF THE ELEMENT OF EARTH! I am now ‘observing’ the Earth of Fire!?

This, Earth of Fire, IS STILL ALL FIRE!! THERE IS NOTING IN/ON THE PLANE OF FIRE THAT IS NOT FIRE!!?? IF IT WASN’T ‘ELEMENTAL FIRE’ IT WOULD NOT ‘BE!!!!???’ IN/ON THE PLANE OF FIRE!! IT WOULD ‘BE?’ IN/ON SOME OTHER PLANE!!

DO THE ABOVE ‘EXERCISE’ FOR ALL YOUR FIVE CIRCLES AND FIVE PLANES, YOU SHOULD GET A CLAIRVOYANT/PSYCHIC ‘BUZZ’ FROM THIS WORK, AS THIS IS THE ‘FILTERING MECHANISM’ OF THE/YOUR ‘COSMIC EGG EXERCISE’ KICKING INTO GEAR!!?’ This is an ‘extremely quick way’ to, RISE IN/ON THE PLANES! (See/Read Ophiel’s book, The Art & Practice of Clairvoyance, his chapter on: Rising on the Planes)

EACH CIRCLE/PLANE IS THE, ELEMENTAL PRINCIPLE, OF THE ELEMENTAL FORCE, OF THE ELEMENT OF EARTH!! (Each Circle/Plane is the Malkuth to the One above/over/before it) Here is how Ophiel explains it, in his book, The Art & Practice of Caballa Magic, page 85, 86 and 87 in the e-book version by Stephen Walford, in the file section of our group.

At the bottom of page 85 we read this: “Please note that you are looking at the Tree hence, the two sides are reversed to your two sides, your right and left side, I mean. So, turn around, mentally, and back into the Tree. Once backed into the Tree this puts the Tree, expansion, future side, on your right-hand side.” End quote. 

On pages 86 and 87, we read this: 

“Don’t accept it blindly. Test it. Learn to Etheric project. Learn to Creatively Visualize. Develop some clairvoyance. So, that is the test. TEST. There was one factual point I overlooked in the previous presentation. Take a look at the Tree again: Fig. 1 a. Note: Each of the three (3) Sephiroth triangles has Air, Fire, and Water in it, but no apparent element of Earth, except you can see the word Earth repeated three times. Please note: in this case the Element Earth is represented by the next three lower down Sephiroth!!! There is another clue for you available as to how God can use itself to react with itself. Look at Fig. 2 a. Please note that in place of the round circles, Sephiroth, I substituted the Elemental Force’s symbols in combination with each other:” End quote. (Capitols are ‘O’s.) 
Most of this material was given in my book THE ART & PRACTICE OF THE OCCULT. Opposite page 84 of THE ART & PRACTICE OF THE OCCULT is a page of combination Elemental Forces, in this case including Akasha. I hope it is becoming clearer to you HOW the Elemental Forces can react with each other, even though they are more alike than not alike. And these then are the building blocks of the (apparently) solid physical Universe (made of Forces which you make real). What power it is that does this I will treat in the next book, as I have to lay foundations in this book first.” End quote. (Capitols are ‘O’s)

As you ‘look’ at each of your finished five circles, all you need do is to think of the Plane and Elemental Principle/Force for that Plane and, BECAUSE OF YOUR DAILY COSMIC EGG EXERCISE PRACTICING, YOUR INNER SELF-SUB-CONSCIOUS-NESS WILL/SHALL ‘AUTOMATICALLY??’ GO THERE! (Reflexive Response) (Try it! Test it!! Use it!!!) AND WHEN IT DOES, CHECK OUT THE/YOUR SENSATION/FEELING! Each Circle is/will/shall, REPRESENT THE WHOLE PLANE!?!  (Check out the examples that have been presented in file 19 in the file section of our group.)

Side note: When I was younger (many years ago!) I was going to have ‘finger rings’ made up of these various Tattva combined circles/symbols but the market is/was ‘very limited’ for these things, maybe now, with the advent of e-bay, things might be different? But for me, (sender) the moment has passed! (They can also be made into ‘neck pendants’ ‘cuff-links’ ‘tie-pins’ etc, much like the Masonic jewellery)  

Go to figure 2 a, page 128, in the e-book version by Stephen Walford, of Ophiel’s book, The Art & Practice of Caballa Magic, in the file section of our group, and have a look at the last circle, Malkuth, and you will/shall get the ‘idea’ of what is ‘meant’ for your sheet of paper and your future symbol for each individual plane. ALL THE INDIVIDUAL PLANES CAN BE SHOWN, DISPLAYED IN THE/THIS FASHION OF A ‘QUARTERED CIRCLE!!’ MUCH, MUCH EASIER AND QUICKER, AS A MEDITATIVE/CONTEMPLATIVE TOOL/TALISMAN!! When you ‘look at them’ KNOW! THAT IT IS THE ‘PRINCIPLES’ OF THE OTHER FORCES THAT IS/ARE BEING ‘SHOWN’ THAT IS/ARE BEING ‘EXPLAINED’ TO YOU!! In my own ‘work’ I have the ‘quartered circles’ with each of the/their ‘combined Tattvas’ IN AN AKASHA EGG SYMBOL!! But do them in the way/manner that appeals to you!! As you look/contemplate this ‘single column’ with ‘ALL’ the ‘COMBINATIONS’ and ‘PLANES’ much will/shall ‘rise spontaneously/harmoniously’ into your Consciousness. 

In the Tattva System when a person ‘entered’ via the Symbols Method, they would/could ask to be ‘shown’ how the PRINCIPLE of another Plane would/could affect/effect the Plane that the ‘projectionist’ is/was in/on. For instance, in/on the Plane of Water, an ‘excessive’ effect of Elemental Earth ( Earth = Cold, Hard, Dense) gives us, SNOW, ICE, SLEET, FREEZING, POLAR BEARS, PENGUINS, ESKIMO’S (Inuit peoples) etc. In/on the Plane of Water, an ‘excessive’ effect of the Elemental Principle of Fire, (Fire = Hot, Expanding,) gives us, STEAM, EVAPORATION, BOILING, [Water ‘expands’ ten percent of its volume when heated!] etc. BUT IT IS ‘STILL!?’ ALL ELEMENTAL WATER!! (Just Elemental Water, behaving like, looking like, working, moving like, the other three Elements Air, Fire, Earth, in/on its OWN PLANE! BUT IT IS ONLY THE ‘PRINCIPLES’ OF THESE ELEMENTS, THAT WE ARE ‘SEEING!!?’ NOT! I REPEAT, NOT! THE ELEMENT ITSELF! BECAUSE THE ELEMENT DOES NOT LEAVE ITS OWN PLANE) Elemental Principle of Fire, in/on the Elemental Plane of Earth, gives us, Volcanoes, Plate Tectonics, etc, etc.
 
And so, we return to the Elemental Plane, of the Elemental Force, of the Element of Earth! Malkuth Earth/North Quarter/Hades! Earth of Earth!! Which gives us Immobility, Impassive, Implacable, Cold, Hard, Solid, Dead, etc, etc?   

FROM THE ‘INNER’ THIS MALKUTH IS THE ‘FINAL RESTING PLACE?’ THE END OF THE INNER WORLD/PLANES! (For the Inner World coming outwards/downwards that is,) FOR US, THIS IS THE ‘STARTING PLACE?’ THE BEGINNING OF THE INNER WORLD/PLANES! (For the Outer, Outer Physical World going inwards/upwards that is,) [Malkuth Earth is where the ‘Lotus has its roots!!?’]

Wishing you all well and every success, as ever,
