Bridging Enochian & Buddhism, Part 1

I’ve posted earlier that I believe Enochian can be used in conjunction, or perhaps even as a bridge to, Buddhism. This is a tricky idea that I’m not entirely ready to elaborate on yet, but I wanted to post about some of the visionary work I did in hypnagogia tonight.

The background is a health concern that isn’t yet over, as well as wondering about the spiritual progress I’ve made since finishing my first Excel version of Liber Loagaeth (note: I’ve also been exploring Buddhist mantras to Vajrakilaya, Padmasambhava, Yeshe Tsogyal, Mandarava, Amitabha, and Vairocana). As I was thinking about this, I tried to explore the culmination of gebofal, Day 49. I induced the energetic memory of that day, recalling the isomorphic divinity I felt with the universe.

It occurred to me that this isomorphic divinity must overlap with that of the aforementioned Buddhas (and yidam) must be included in this, and so I picked up on Padmasambhava’s energy and noted a line of sight which he was looking at. I noted that Yeshe Tsogyal was looking there, too, as were the others. I tried to use their gaze to see the common point, then saw a brilliant light and approached it. Interestingly, as soon as I began doing so, an interesting jeweled being, somewhat mechanical in look with four golden arms resembling a spider’s legs and a beautiful golden oval thorax with a gem taking up more than half its size in the middle, emerged from this light. It wasn’t hostile, yet at the same time, it seemed to be blocking me.

I did a gentle twist in midair and evaded the being, and went into this light. It was soft, and I was reminded of an admonishment I’d read online very recently from a Tibetan Buddhist teacher about avoiding the soft light and instead trying to find the dazzling light. Doing so, I passed through into a space in which all of reality seemed to buzz in and out of infinite heartspace. This, it seemed, was the clear light mind—not merely data emerging from an infinite possibility, but an infinite multiplex cord of all hearts, humming.

Here was the view of all of reality, seething and reckoning with its many possibilities, in anguish. Here the heart had to reckon with itself in its infinite varieties, and it was too much to be clear, and so it hurt.

I saw myself open my own heart to it all, an infinite gesture of compassion, and I found the view toward it all that I’d been aching for.

And now there are lifetimes more to express it.

Updated Rainbow Body Enochian call; Addition of empty mind Enochian call

This post has been updated: here is the latest iteration.

I continue to mix-and-match Eastern concepts with Enochian techniques because I believe that at the core of these traditions is the same structure of reality. In my last post on the topic, I called upon a specific part of heaven, but I decided to change it after doing some chanting to Padmasambhava. My preparation was to do the Supreme Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (I modded to add invoking-spirit pentagrams after banishing all 5 elements). This was followed by an Expanded Middle Pillar ritual (of my own devising) to call all four Kabbalistic worlds using the correspondences 776 1/2. Finally, I did a Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Hexagram, followed by a Greater Invoking Ritual of the Hexagram of OM. Because this is beyond the Tree of Life proper (i.e., associated with Ain, Ain Sof, and Ain Sof Aur), I chose to use the “color” of clear for drawing both the hexagram and the Sanskrit word–similar to the camouflage effect from Predator (but in a good way!), or heat vision waves as seen in Smallville.

The new call is phrased:

MADRIAX DSPRAF MAOFFAS QAA DE TON DAMPLOZ OLPIRT DE OI, A MANIN DE AFFA OLPIRT…[complete remainder of the call to the Aethyrs]. (“O you heavens which dwell in the measureless garment (body) of all variety of light of this, in the mind of empty light”).

I dropped the “of me” in favor of “of this” (sidestepping ego issues by referencing “me” in the call). I also linked the rainbow body to the clear light mind.

There was a nascent sense of the actualization of the lesser rainbow body afterward; this is uncharted territory for me. The vision included eclipse imagery (note the date; I was comfortable doing this magick because this was aimed at the supernals), but also Christian imagery. The message was that the cross was not to be thought of in the vertical position, to lift up the sacrifice, but rather the horizontal (emphasizing the accepting of the fulfillment of the law, so to speak). From this horizontal cross emerged a being, or perhaps a scaffold, which resembled me, who locked in around me. There was a shift, but the shift seemed to be one of awareness, as well as a subtle body shift.

I was told at the end to use a separate call for the clear mind itself, which was much simpler (and more directly referring to Ain):

MADRIAX DSPRAF AG (NOIB, AFFA MANIN)… (“O you heavens which dwell in nothing (yea, the empty mind)”).

This evoked a very peaceful state of the clear mind and I recommend trying it out.

Divine and angelic assistance in the activation of the Rainbow Body of Light

Updates at bottom…

Recently, after having worked through a lot of the development after my Kether initiation, I decided to focus on the rainbow body of light. My magick teacher, Jason Louv, emphasizes that it is not uncommon to find Easterners who have achieved this level of realization, which made me consider what additional levels there were. CodyP, a friend who I also consider a mentor, has focused on the rainbow body, as has another friend and mentor, Sean Coan.

I’m still learning about Dzogchen, but I worked up the courage to look into it and found Padmasambhava, or Guru Rinpoche. Yet another mentor who goes by kingnine suggested that I seek out direct lineage and referred me to Lama Lena, who is informative and a captivating teacher via her live videos. I have a lot to learn about it and am still studying, so take this next part with a grain of salt! But, having listened to a couple of her videos (and not necessarily knowing if that counts 100% as “lineage”!), I decided to begin reciting the mantra to Padmasambhava, and this is a daily practice of mine, if an informal and often ad hoc one.

Recently, this paid off. I had an inkling of an Enochian technique earlier, but believed I didn’t have the proper translation for the words, and sort of let the matter rest. But today, the translation hit me.

So, the rest of the matter is simple: in an Enochian setting (with furniture, having presently banished, and having already scried all of the Aethyrs over several months, etc.), make the same call to the Aethyrs, but, as with the calls to heaven in order to initiate into Chokmah, Kether, Ain Soph Aur, and Ain Soph, you will not be using an Aethyr name. Instead, you will be making a call to the heavens that governs your own rainbow body. This makes perfect sense: it is a celestial thing, and moreover it is a means of calling down heaven to earth: realization. The specific opening of the call would then be:

MADRIAX DSPRAF QAA DE TON DAMPLOZ OLPIRT DE OL… (“O you heavens which dwell in the garments/creation of all variety of light of me”).

I will follow up on this post as I experiment with it, but I’m fairly sure that it is sound.

Update 1: So thankfully there weren’t any problems with this call. It was moving, and very, very personal. I dare say it works as such, and I will be repeating it, but, of course, supplemented with meditation and my other works. 🙂

Update 2: This call has been replaced!

Update 3: Replaced again with the latest version!
