"A Transcendent Voyage: Illuminating Mysticism in 'A New Light of Mysticism: Azoth' by Arthur Edward Waite"

In Arthur Edward Waite's magnum opus, "A New Light of Mysticism: Azoth," readers embark on an enigmatic journey that transcends the boundaries of conventional thought. The book, alternatively known as "The Star in the East," intricately weaves together the profound elements of alchemy, spirituality, and the arcane, inviting readers into the captivating world of mystical exploration.

Waite's narrative prowess shines as he delves into the intricacies of the Magnum Opus, unraveling the mysteries of the first matter and the evolution of Aphrodite-Urania. The author, known for his deep understanding of esoteric subjects, presents a mesmerizing tapestry that explores the supernatural generation of the Son of the Sun and the alchemical transfiguration of humanity.

At the heart of the book is the symbolic Azoth, a universal solvent that represents the transformative power of spiritual enlightenment. Waite's prose is both eloquent and dense, demanding a contemplative reading as readers navigate through layers of symbolism and allegory. The exploration of divine feminine energy through Aphrodite-Urania adds a unique dimension, intertwining mythology with alchemical philosophy.

The strength of Waite's work lies not only in its esoteric depth but also in its ability to provoke introspection. As readers navigate through the pages, they find themselves not just absorbing information but actively engaging in the alchemical processes described. Waite's intricate descriptions and philosophical reflections challenge readers to question, contemplate, and, ultimately, embark on their own metaphysical journey.

"A New Light of Mysticism: Azoth" is a testament to Waite's profound scholarship and his gift for distilling complex esoteric concepts into a cohesive narrative. It is a book that beckons the curious minds and spiritual seekers, promising not just knowledge but an experiential odyssey through the realms of mysticism.

Intriguing, immersive, and intellectually stimulating, Waite's work invites readers to embrace the alchemical transformation it promises, heralding a new dawn in the understanding of mysticism and spirituality.

"A New Light of Mysticism: Azoth," by Arthur Edward Waite is available in Amazon in paperback 18.99$ and hardcover 24.99$ editions.

Hot take: Azathoth is just the Neoplatonic idea of the One, but with scary language.

"Time is a construct."

I’m sure you’ve heard this woefully reductionist statement more than enough times, and I’m not one for this kind of reductionism, but let’s explore this statement a bit more closely.

What people usually mean by this is that time’s not real.

Well, sure, maybe “half an hour” is an arbitrary unit of measurement, but it’s also a way of experiencing the world.

We are born, we age, we die.

We watch the earth tumble through countless iterations of the same seasons over, and over, and over again.

We wake up and watch the sun slowly ride overhead in what some cultures regarded as a holy chariot.

The construct of time is integral to the human experience, it’s integral to how we make sense of the world.

But those of us steeped in this capitalistic productivity mindset, those of us steeped in a culture that’s obsessed with progress and plagued by greed and materialism, we only see one way of experiencing time as valid.

We only respect the experience of linear time.

Past, present, future.

And the human capacity to time-bind, to borrow a word from the cognitive scientists, has contributed to our survival as a species to no small degree.

We need to experience linear time. But it’s not the only way.

Ask anyone you know who has ADHD or any other form of neurodivergence. We experience something known as “time-blindness.”

Folks with ADHD are often chronically late and tend to hyperfocus on tasks, get distracted, and lose track of time.

But if you actually speak to one, you’ll likely discover that phenomenologically, time itself ceases to exist for them.

Suddenly we find ourselves in the place beyond place, in the time outside of time.

Serious ritual practitioners and trance-induction artists train their whole lives to be able to do on purpose what an ADHDer’s family and friends desperately want them to stop doing.

But this is the place beyond place, the time outside of time—the place where the oracles and seers live.

When I was a child, I spaced out a lot. I did a lot of what I called “talking to the fairies.”

I’d go into this place beyond place, this time beyond time, and I’d have visions. I’d hear voices.

…I had precognitive dreams, many of which actually unfolded in adulthood.

I was called imaginative, creative, and gifted by some. I was called lazy, spoiled, and inattentive by others.

But these experiences felt normal to me.

Familiar, even, like I’d done them many times over, like I was meeting old friends, like I was remembering ancient ways that those around me had forgotten.

So, what was happening with me, exactly?

Where did these precognitive dreams, these visions, these voices, come from?

And what’s really happening in the experience of the oracle, the neurodivergent, the ritualist in trance?

What’s the point of experiencing time as nonlinear, of experiencing place as nonlocal, of experiencing events as acausal?

Well, what if this perspective is as true as the linear, causal, local perspective?

What if, in some ways, it’s actually more true?

—

This is an excerpt from the lecture I’ll be giving on transrational divination on April 26th, 7PM EDT.

This will be a deep exploration of intuitive ability, the nature of time, the importance of perspectival facility, and the sacred responsibility of seership in a society that sees the imagination as separate from reality, rather than a valid way of experiencing it.

The recording and transcript will be available to paid Substack subscribers and those who have signed up, but if you’d like to join the unrecorded live discussion, sign up here.
