Results for "Ormus Lodge"

First
Encounters
It
was through members of the Hermetic
Alchemical Order of the QBLH that I first learned of Cypher
6 a.k.a. NAEQ (New Aeon English Qabalah), a.k.a. EQ6 (English
Qabalah 6). I met Frater 171 about a year before the founding
of Babalon Lodge, and it was in his book "True Quest
for the Holy Grail" that I first saw the actual code
and started working with it. The results were instantaneous,
so I persisted. Afterwards I met the late Soror
Ishtaria, who was at that time OHO of QBLH. Soror Ishtaria
was also the creator of LEXICON, a program developed as "Computer
Assisted Gematria". LEXICON exploded previous limitations
by setting at our fingertips the potential for some serious
EQ research that would have been much more arduous without
the indispensable aid of this tool. I only attended a small
handful of the original Babalon Lodge meetings, but my experiences
there initiated streams of gnosis that have worked in me and
through me ever since.
The
actual cypher was discovered by Jim
Lees. Mr Lees shared his discovery with Jake
Stratton Kent and Carol Smith, who both further collaborated
with him. This was the original birth-matrix for NAEQ. It
was then picked up by Frater Damon, Soror Ishtaria, Frater
171 and other researchers of the QBLH. The Work continues
with individual researchers and groups across the globe. All
contribute greatly to the field in various ways.
Ormus
Lodge = 113
About a month and a half after choosing the name, and sealing
it by charter, I decided to calculate the numeric value of
"Ormus Lodge" in EQ6 to see if I found anything
interesting. The calculation is as follows:
O
= 7
R
= 12
M
= 21
U
= 17
S
= 5
L
= 2
O
= 7
D
= 6
G
= 11
E
= 25
TOTAL=113
I
used LEXICON to run queries for 113 in two texts - Liber
AL vel Legis and Fama Fraternitatis.
There were many interesting results. Below are a few key terms
of special note.
From
Liber AL
Center

Note
"The
Grades" is not an actual phrase in Liber AL. LEXICON
returned "The Grades" when running query for 113
in Liber AL, but the text in Liber AL is actually "Three
Grades", not "The Grades". But "The"
and "Grades" both appear in Liber AL, and when added
together do equal 113, they just don't appear sequentially
in the text. Aside from this exception, all other results
given above from both texts are in the order as they appear
in context in the original work. For example, "a society"
in context in Fama Fraternitatis is
"that
also there might be a Society in
Europe, which might have Gold, Silver, and precious Stones,
sufficient for to bestow them on Kings,"
And "thou
shalt look" in context in Liber AL is
"blessed
are the eyes that thou shalt look
upon with gladness."
Also, "Center" appears as "Centre"
in Liber AL and as "Center" and "Centre"
in Fama Fraternitatis. These are two different spellings of
the same word.
Many
of the terms are repeated internally in both texts, as well
as across texts. I have not indicated this in the given list.
Also, there are many terms or phrases in both texts with the
value of 113 that are not listed here.
Analysis
of Key Terms - 113 - Ormus Lodge
Center (Centre)
A point around which a circle can be described. Also, center
in the sense of a community center (for research, praxis,
etc.).
The Grades
As a reference to the initiatic stream flowing through Ormus
Lodge - the Symbolic Lodge degrees and the consecratory empowerments.
Service
Indicates an underlying principle of both the Lodge and the
Temple, the fraternal and the ecclesiastical. There is an
emphasis placed on a sphere larger than the self, a sphere
which includes all others. This is reflective of the Mahayana
teachings concerning Bodhicitta.
Thou Shalt Look
Suggestive of "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek,
and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.".
An attitude of open inquiry, an active participation in the
process of discovery.
The
Veil
The Veil that obscures clarity and illumination can be parted.
Vision is attainable.
Its
Name
This is self referential to the term "Ormus Lodge".
It is a qabalistic validation of the name choice (i.e. Its
name equals Ormus Lodge).
Spirit
Indicates the Pneuma Hagion, the Spiritu Sancto, the Holy
Spirit of both Gnostic and Apostolic traditions.
A Society
Ormus Lodge is inspired by the Society of Ormus, an Egyptian-Christian
Mystery School of antiquity. In this sense, "a society"
refers to working in a similar mode as that of the Society
of Ormus, or the Sages of Light.
Concourse
Meaning literally "a running together". Indicates
also a process of coming together and merging. This is also
suggestive of diversity, in the sense of bringing various
streams of the gnosis into harmony.
Discourse
This is suggestive of research, philosophy, exchange of ideas,
Scientific Illuminism.
Worthy Body
This is taken to indicate that Ormus Lodge has the potential
to be a fit body, in the sense of an association of initiates
working in harmony for the benefit of all sentient beings.
An operative cell of Illuminists.
Quantum
Indicative
of both contemporary science (i.e. Quantum Physics) and schools
of antiquity (i.e. Alchemy) .
