 | Why is the subconsciousness always cryptically symbolic and mainly manifests
in sleep? As usual, there is more than one answer: 1) Why do the stars only
show at night? And, 'hold your hand in front of your face and you cannot see
the Sun', i.e., our foreconsciousness is mainly from outside and therefore
precludes inner vision. 2) The subconsciousness discloses slowly and
latently, because by our limitations we can realize only so much at any 'one
time'. 3) Any full disclosure and the whole need and purpose of existence
would be unnecessary. And there are other reasons. What we observe from
'outside' becomes memory, enters the subconsciousness and merges with other
and older impressions. So, one function of the subconsciousness is to unify
these superimposed impressions using the language of parallel symbology and
to represent them as simile, not as arbitrary configuration [words illegible
in original text]. There is no censor except our own 'outside moral bias'.
We do not understand such simple amoral language-
...we make our own filth. Nothing in the subconscious is any more indecent
than anything else.
Whether our contacts are psychic or physical they are real, and fear or hope
of them determines our way.
With sufficient desire and belief reversion to anoësis may be a means of
transforming our physical energy into psychic potency.
Although we cannot know instantly or entirely the contents and processes of
the subconsciousness, we can evoke it, and by that act in a measure control
it as required, for it will again respond directly to our will. How so? Here
is the workable supposition: Truth is not essential to belief, as it always
contains sufficient for us to make our truth, for if you believe a thing or
idea is true, then it will become as truth for you. Therefore, if we
deliberately attach belief to the meaning we give to a sign or symbol, then
when we question that sign in our own way, via the subconsciousness, it will
answer truthfully.

Very nice post. As someone who, as you know, has recently begun
exploring the "boundaries" of what I see as "truth", this article might
help serve as inspiration to keep pushing my own limits.
"2) The subconsciousness discloses slowly and
latently, because by our limitations we can realize only so much at any
'one time'."
If my limits weren't so tight right now, I could "realize" at a much
quicker pace. Honestly, though, I think my limits are beginning to
loosen up a bit. You'd be surprised. :) Well, maybe not you, Rainey,
since you kinda know what I'm going through. :)
This is indeed very promising - "With sufficient desire and belief
reversion to ano=EBsis may be a means of transforming our physical
energy into psychic potency." (What is anoesis, by the way?) I take
this to mean that with enough desire and belief, it is possible to
transform our physical energy into psychic energy?
Thanks, Rainey!

because, Dear Rainey, time actually works like a mainspring in a clock /
wrist watch: it winds up, then unwinds, as long as there is energy (life)
to motivate it.
If you think about it, there is only ONE moment: the NOW. It's eternal.
Yet, something that is eternal is also temporal, because all must exist in
unity. (You can't have eternity without "finity", so to speak, just like
you can't have good without evil, or hot without cold... )
Yesterday does not exist, although the echoes of yesterday remain. Tomorrow
does not exist, although we plan on it regularly, and without question. The
ONLY moment that EVER exists is the NOW.
Ok, so how does one balance an eternal force with a temporal one? Easy:
Let's compare living cycles to life cycles: We are pre-born, then born,
then age and die (and, supposedly, have an afterlife). If we cycle this, we
get a recurring pattern of:
Darkness
Shadow
Light
Bright Light
Dimming Light
Darkness
Shadow
Light
Bright Light
Dimming Light
Darkness
Shadow
Light
Bright Light
Dimming Light
Darkness (etc.)
Hmmmm... sounds just like the cycles of night and day, yes??
The night (and our dreams) are for previews of our thoughts and actions to
come. They are not the events themselves, but they are the *planning stage*
whereby dreams become reality, just as surely as night becomes the day, and
the eternal Now remains with us always (except when we sleep).

Anoesis as far as Spare is talking about:
Spare used yogic meditation to do his magic.
Basically, he would dive right into his unconscious, flash the sigil there,
then hop right back out again to his conscious.
Since yogic meditation is a bit difficult for beginners, there are other
ways of achieving this state.
Let me know if you are interested;)
Anoesis is referring to going into your subconscious (Liken to falling
backward)
To do magic.
Think of it as "falling upwards" to go back to normal consciousness.
