Is the LBRP a Fire ritual?

[Jarhyn]

So instead of five standard elements, how many do you propose?

Oh, I don't really... There are not really "elements" in here by those names. I mean there are the endpoints, but I don't restrict myself to those terms.

Most of what I have built nobody gave me nor guided me on, and was gleaned from voracious consumption of "fiction" or from my education on Information Systems. Proper subvocalizations of "name" require assignment, often an assignment that gets lost fairly quickly, especially if it is not used for too long.

The static/noise/chaos I discovered "to explicit, calling awareness" on a trip on shrooms and spent my whole afternoon floating around in scintillating, chaotic noise.

The "flame in the void" I got from The Wheel of Time and playing around with what Jordan described as a meditative technique for archery.

There are other things I swing around in here too, love and thankfulness, maybe. Occasionally there are things in here that can process addresses of "linguistic complexity", in which case I have to make a request for language "around" the issue and then select the language most appropriate of that offering of that system and then shove the result (or it's emotional encoding) at the addressed process.

Sometimes the thing directed is "leave to act and occupy resources (either named or 'whatever is available') for to engineer solutions in background". This may amount to 'servitor management'?

In some instances, operating those selections of 'what to direct at where for to achieve my goals' is done subconsciously; other times I have to find and deliberate on what I am "physically" going to push and in what "direction" and this is the sort of complexity that the "conscious review" process tends not to narrate for me (yet?).

Most of what I do is reverse engineered; I came into "magic" from the other end, I had no teacher or guide other than about circular breathing, and they didn't even tell me the point of it (immediate somatic contextualization to accelerate entry to a meditative state). I had to figure that part out, too.

To this end, I have some knowledge that I expect few if any of the great masters may have dreamed of touching, and ignorances even the rankest amateur would be embarrassed to put on display!

The result is that most of my metaphorical framework mirrors more formal "systems theory" as relates to machine architectures than prior systems which labeled things on the basis of "elements": concepts of "device type" and "training parameters/response" and "available I/O streams".

In fact one of the reasons I'm here is so that I can effect a translation between how I see things working inside and around my mind and square them against the way others speak of such things.

This has in fact elucidated what people mean by "fire" for me.

A meditation on the traditional attributes or weapons of the Elements will show you all Elements are equally strong. The dagger, wand, cup and disk all have active and passive powers and possibilities - I think it's Philllip Cooper that has some good exercises on that -

Phillip Cooper, Anna Riva, EA Koetting, and many more .. you jogged my memory on whose books I want to buy...

I think so.

The elemental qualities of the 5 points of the pentagram have their corresponding parts in the human body. Most will think that the left foot is Earth, and when you trace a banishing Earth pentagram you trace the line towards Spirit and away from your Earth.

I disagree with this. To me the left foot is Fire, and the banishing Earth pentagram is denying a thing / concept / idea / demon / unicorn (or whatever) that stands opposite of you to get its foot on the ground – to touch Earth. So you use your Fire to overrule its Earth.

Thus all four banishing Earth pentagrams in the LBRP are drawn from your Fire (left foot).

After the tracing of the pentagram you make the Sign of the Enterer. You do this by bringing your fists together with only the index fingers pointing forward, so that the sides of those fingertips touch and the sides of your thumbs touch each other as well. The open space through which you look toward the center of the pentagram is a vesica pisces. It is a representation of a vagina formed by two representations of erect penises touching each other. It is the portal through which life enters the world, and thus the reason why this is called the Sign of the Enterer.

It is why you step forward with your left foot when you make the Sign of the Enterer when you vibrate the God name and project your authority through the pentagram. Because entering is a “male” activity and you emphasize this by stepping forward with your Fire foot.

Because you banish the lower by invoking the higher, the fifth pentagram, when you are standing in the center of your circle again, is an invoking one.

The light coming from the center of the Universe enters your Spirit point and travels down to your right foot. It enters your Earth point.
From there it travels to your left hand Water, right hand Air, your left foot Fire and back to your Spirit point. Then it will continue to form the Unicursal Hexagram in your torso (which represents the 7 planets), ending in the center in your Sol.

I know others think of the left foot as earth. I wonder what the reasoning is and how it influences their idea of the LBRP.
