"Within the action space of his now famed high vacuum tube, Sir William (Crookes) beheld a curious sight. There, suspended over the cathode, was a black space, which was actually radiant. The radiance extended beyond the tube walls in certain special instances. Sir William had no difficulty accepting the fact that this was a "space-permeating" blackness, a radiance having far greater significance than a mere physical phenomenon." www.bibliotecapleyades.net/montauk/esp_filadelfia_10.htm |

This perhaps points out that darkness is not necessarily the absence of light

On the odd occasion I see in the mind's eye what I would call a 'radiant?' blackness. (Would not have thought of that term if you had not mentioned it) It is darker that the dark background of the mind's eye with a slight circular glow to what I would take to be its circumference. Though small itself, it is immensley larger that the momentary flashing lights one sees.

When energy is of high frequency it typically cannot be seen with the etheric nervous system thus appears (radiant) black. Around the edges the frequency of the energy drops to become visible - typically white or gold.
The regalia of the 30th comes to mind.
I was looking at such an energy field close to a friend tonight and asked her to visualise her favourite cat (a black stray) next to the field. She saw the radiant black field attract and absorb the cat.
Lorraine, perhaps you would like to look again at your radiant blackness and see if some being wishes to make contact through the portal. Be sure to test it for quality and intent before engaging.

Yikes..
I'm not sure I want to go there. How would one test for quality and intent?
(Coincidently (?) the latest incidence happened just after a very special 30th meeting)

Test against a light-dark spectrum, and then test against an Intent, Love and Intelligence triage
> the latest incidence happened just after a very special 30th meeting
Your 30th must be better than average

We had interstate visitors who commented that on the atmosphere and that they felt something special about our lodge.

Personally I would be a bit wary of the elohim. I am not sure whether their ethics are always acceptable. See for example the destructive actions of the god of Abraham.

"IHVH Elohim" is the Divine Name of Power for Binah /Daath on the Tree of Life. I have never had a problem with it. I certainly WOULDN't invoke any Sephirothic Power without the appropriate Name, unless one wants the Qliphoth (unbalanced or Averse Powers of the Tree of Evil) on one's track.

Maybe this is why silence is usually recommended with regard to the mysteries.

No doubt. It's better to know NOTHING that to know them only in a half-baked sort of way! Dion Fortune warns seekers that to fail to call on the Name before conducting any sort of occult activity means that the Qliphoth (the unbalanced forces) will show up sooner or later, "even if no evil, but only research is intended"

Even if one calls on an appropriate name there can be issues. For example, operating without pure intent may put out a call to dark entities and/or defeat protection systems.
There may also be an issue with ensuring the name really connects to the intended entity - to avoid the possibility of hijacking as occurs with urls
And I still am wary about the elohim. I am not sure their agenda are always compatible with the good of humanity.

"The Name" I am referring to is that of the very HIGHEST Power; that of GOD. There is NO question of 'dark entities"showing up, when The Name is invoked. I am referring to the Tree of Life, of course; each Sephirah has its "Name of Power" that should be invoked BEFORE calling on the Powers behind that Sephirah. All dark entities belong to one or the other of the "Realm of Shells" or the Qliphoth; the Name is invoked for protection from these forces.

Terms such as "the very highest power" are probably not subject to legalistic reinterpretation by other entities. Terms such as "Master" are however quite ambiguous.

I would not be too sure about that.
For example the ToL has names beyond the Tree. Could those named beingnesses also have involutionary counterparts?
I see this proposition in the context of the Tsimtsum where the in-breath and the out-breath are equal

There are four levels in Qabalah: Assiah, which is the lowest "elemental" level, Yetzirah, which is the "angelic" realm, Briah, which is the "archangelic" realm, and Atziluth, which is the "Divine' realm. The "Names" belong to the "Divine" realm, hence there is no question of ambiguity. However, I would NOT expect to call on "Names" from the Qabalah if I was working with an Eastern system such as Tantra. One would then use "mantras", and "seed-syllables". as the Atziluthic equivalent of The Names"

I understand that it is easier to remain within a system when working, however it does raise some interesting issues.
For example: are Qabalistic names compatible with Eastern system energies? If not, why not?
Do different systems connect through facets to the same reality?
Do such systems invoke a condensation or subset of a greater reality that is not necessarily consistent with other condensations or subsets.
For example is a system working with the second force (second incarnation of the solar logos) in some ways incompatible with a system working with the third force (first incarnation of the solar logos)?
