Friday, March 13, 2009 Icicles as a Philosophical Construction to Language I was recently nearly accosted by a practitioner of Jewish Kabballah.

It went something like this: "You and your pseudo-Occult teachings set a dangerous precedent. You are clearly esoterically educated, but your conclusions and teachings are counterproductive to all of us who have worked diligently to raise the awareness of consciousness on this planet." Sigh. I used to love those good old Occult "we are right, you are wrong" spats. The arguments, though, now always seem to digress to the absurd. "English has no mystical insights". "It is a "modern language" with no tradition or esoteric historical basis, and only Hebrew contains a traditional and time tested esoteric code contained within." The implied conclusion is that Kabballah must, by default, be granted a free pass to spiritual and intellectual supremacy. As a Hermeticist, and to all of us that seek after the Hermetic Arts, the very idea that we should deny one set of knowledge in favor of another is anathema to evil. Hermetic wisdom questions all as to their ways and learns the secrets that they hold. We then embed this knowledge into forms of crystallized thought. In this way we preserve knowledge and contribute to the Great Work. One of these great experiments was and continues to be the esoteric constructions contained within the English Letters/Alphabet/Language. This implies that there was (at minimum) a conscious interjection into the language. To assume otherwise is really naive and simple. Of course there was a conscious imposition and influence on the language. The development of the rules of grammar represent just such a conscious imposition. Rules of grammar are developed over years of conscious thought as to how to improve the language so that it better enables the communication of one's thoughts. To take this quite profane conscious imposition on the language as the development of the rules of grammar to that of an embedding of a philosophical construction within the language is really not that far of a theoretical leap. Francis Bacon did write, after all, "Read. Not to take for granted - but to weigh, to consider." A Philosophical Construction to Language In order for their to be an esoteric, or philosophical construction, embed into the English language, it would first be necessary to construct the language. That this was possible could be ascertained through a study of the construction of languages as an academic exercise. At the turn of the 19th century, there were approximately 50 active "universal constructed language projects" being advanced. Of these 50 projects, the project that seems to have won out over the others is a constructed language known as "Esperanto". Today, some 120 years after the conceptual creation of Esperanto, the Esperanto project has attracted the dedicated efforts of some 10's of thousands of motivated individuals working tirelessly to create, refine, and advance, the language. Now take the above reality and transpose it to the Occult. Who really believes that the proponents and practitioners of Esperanto can truly compare to the Occult force latent within the structure of Western civilization?

What was "Speculative Freemasonry" in its purest form was really the Occult (hidden) organization behind the esoteric constructions set within English. Compare the tens of thousands of very talented individuals laboring on behalf of Esperanto over 120 years against the 100's of thousands of Freemason's, a fraction of number of individuals of the movement that would represent the intellectual elite over 100's of years, laboring to create a language that embed a philosophical truth that could never be destroyed. Said James Brown in 1845 in a work entitled,"English Syntithology" "Language is the only thing in which thought is presented as a science. And although it is said again and again that the pupil may attend to the philosophy of language after he shall have acquired the grammar of it yet, it is a truth which cannot be controverted that the constructive philosophy and the grammar of a language are the same thing. " "...What is English grammar, but a portion of the philosophy of the English language? He, therefore, that studies grammmar, studies the constructive philosophy of language. And in the study of a grammatical system, grammar is attended to no further than that system is founded on the philosophy of the language. English Grammar is but a "portion of the philosophy of the English language". Icicles as a Philosophical Construction within English Now lets put this back into context relative to the Isisian Codes and Occult deconstructions. English Grammar is but a part of the larger Philosophy that is contained within the English language. Everything from sentence structure to parts of speech, such as NOUNS, VERBS, PREFIXES, etc., carry key cipher material that hints at the relationships of letters to numbers to sounds as well as the larger Philosophical construct. For example. Take a look at the All Seeing Eye. It has its primary philosophical construction, and yet there are layers of philosophical constructions. "VERBS", for instance, are not material things. Verbs have an effect on material things, or inform as to what a material thing is doing or involved in. Sally "runs". Sally is the noun. You can touch Sally, but you cannot touch the conceptual which is defined as "run". We can SEE Sally run, but we cannot physically touch the concept known as "run". We might be able to touch Sally while she is running, but still, we only can touch Sally. Now expand the concept. Sally JUMPS. Sally SLEEPS. Sally FALLS. We cannot TOUCH the ACTION, only the NOUNS that are modified by the ACTION. Now set this concept against the All Seeing Eye. We then must equate the VERBS and the ADJECTIVES to being elements of the EYE, for it can be seen but not physically touched, while the NOUNS are below and hence are a part of the "understanding". In the word NOUNS we have a very simple cipher. Since D = N = T, we simply cipher the word NOUNS as follows: NOUNS = D-OUN-S = S-OUN-D SOUND is that which is generated from the action of wind or other other objects striking another. NOUNS become a cipher for a philosophical conceptual relative to SOUND and the need for a physical medium upon which to project same. Take the word VERB. Phonetically expand it to read VERBEH (taking note of the expanded air generated as the word envelope is collapsed). Reverse the word to HEBREV. Then make the phonetic transpostion of W to V (VolksVagen). What you create is the word HEBREW. Now all you have to do is fuse the word to some clever mythology as to Beacons of Light and equating the word to that of the Sun in some form or fashion and the spell is complete. Clever, wasn't it?

Now let's de-construct the word ICICLE. We know that ICE, or I SEE, is a code that refers to those who have arisen above the waves of delusion, represented by the oceans and seas or Typhon. ICE, when it reaches "32 degrees" as in 32 Masonic degrees, rises above the surface. When it reaches boiling point, or 212 degrees (f), we simply divide this number into 666 to arrive at 3.1415, or Pi, and the water changes again to vapor (spirit) and returns as to the Sun from which it came just as the spirit leaves the body within which it dwelled. ICE is the root word. ICLE is the suffix. In the word ICICLE we have, then, a philosophical riddle. If ICE is ICE, then what exactly is ICLE? We have IC again, and we have LE, or EL. The simple way to break this down is to understand that an ICICLE "hangs upside down". In this way, it is fused to the 12th card of the Major Arcanum, or ODIN, who hands upside down for 9 days and 9 nights while he spies the runes and learns of the wisdom contained within them. Reverse the code of ICLE to read ELCI, or EL (Odin) Sees. I guess we could demonstrate this further, but I trust that those of you attuned to this work understand now precisely the manner in which the code is derived. ICE is the root.

EL is the 12th Letter of the Alphabet. This Letter is fused to the 12th Card of the Major Arcanum of the Tarot, or the Hanged Man. El is Odin and the One Eye'd God.

This is a transposition back to Osiris or Horus. Kabballah has no place at the table.
