Panpsychosphere

I

The Panpsychosphere. As magicians and sorcerers and shamans we need to entertain the Panpsychic Hypothesis, the intuition that all phenomena behave in animate fashion to some degree (depending on their quantum characteristics in my view). This, or something like it, constitutes the basic inductive leap from observation or experience that makes us magicians. The Panpsychosphere which we can represent with the Chaos Star; implies all possibilities including apparent impossibilities, the realm of the aethers (or quantum waves) where material reality branches into multidimensional Apophasis and where Apophasis occurs in which unreal events subtend real effects into the lower worlds. The Panpsychosphere represents the realm of cosmic imagination from which emergent phenomena arise spontaneously and chaotically in all the lower spheres and which stimulates personal creativity. Perhaps that barely makes sense in words, and the maths looks even worse, but maybe it conveys the intuition to some extent. The Panpsychosphere stands above even the Noosphere. Whilst the Noosphere represents all existing memes and ideas and these memes and ideas also have a footprint in the Panpsychosphere, the Panpsychosphere also represents the source of all ideas and all emergent forms that may yet come into existence.

Noosphere or Memesphere

E

The Noosphere, sometimes called the memesphere, represents the sum of all ideas, beliefs, religions, philosophies, emotions, hopes and terrors arising from all structures capable of creating them. This primarily seems to arise from more complex organisms such as ourselves, but we should not discount the possibility that some of it may arise from other creatures, nor the speed and volume with which information and ideas now travel through our electronic media. The noosphere probably already contains many of the secrets of life the universe and everything, plus vast numbers of useless answers and downright toxic nonsense as well. Increasingly it seems like the battlefield on which the fate of the Anthrosphere hangs. In the GCR we can symbolise it with the sign of the Tellus, an obscure astronomical symbol for the earth which suggests ideas converging, diverging, and overlapping.

Anthrosphere or Opusphere

A

The Anthrosphere, sometimes called the Anthroposphere or Opusphere, represents the biomass of humanity and its reticula (all that it has made in terms of structures and manufactured items and modified environments for itself). The upright pentagram representing a human spread-eagled as in the microcosmos of Vitruvius and in Leonardo's drawings symbolises this sphere. The anthrosphere has evolved from the biosphere and remains critically dependent on it and on the geosphere, yet it now becomes apparent that we have started to inflict serious damage on both.

Biosphere

O

The Biosphere, all living biological organisms from algae and bacteria to whales and mighty trees, including us. Basically this consists of a thin layer penetrating only a few tens of metres into the soil and a few hundred metres into the sky, although it has greater thickness in water. The sophisticated image of Baphomet by Lévi resumes plant and animal and human symbolism and hence we can use its simplified pentagramic form with two points upward here. The biosphere has obviously evolved from the geosphere and the Gaia hypothesis strongly suggests that the biosphere has modified the geosphere to meet its evolving needs.

Geosphere

U

The Geosphere, basically the apparently inanimate planet itself, this of course includes the lithosphere (rocks), hydrosphere (waters) and the atmosphere, plus the energy sphere, both in terms of the fiery core and the energy inflow and outflow with space. The symbol of a circle in a cross represents a traditional astrological sign for earth and also the quarters of earth, air, fire, and water comprising the planet.

Directions

0) Grasp the magical weapon; prepare to use it to trace the symbols over the body and in the air. (If performing this ritual for Chaos Jihad purposes)
1) Choose metaphysical east - (any direction at whim).
2) Inhale and vibrate on the outbreath 'I', whilst visualising the chaos star in the brow. This symbolises the Panpsychosphere, the sum of all possible wave functions (aethers) arising from all animate structures on earth whether apparently sentient, animate or inanimate.
3) Inhale and vibrate on the outbreath 'E', whilst visualising the symbol of the Tellus in the throat. This symbolises the Noosphere, the sum of all ideas, emotions, hopes and fears arising from all structures capable of giving rise to them on earth.
4) Inhale and vibrate on the outbreath 'A', whilst visualising the symbol of the upright Pentagram in the heart, the sign of humanity. This represents the Anthrosphere, the sum of humanity and all the physical structures that it has created on earth.
5) Inhale and vibrate on the outbreath 'O', whilst visualising the symbol of the Baphometic pentagram, (two points upward) in the solar plexus area. This represents the Biosphere, the totality of biological life on earth.
6) Inhale and vibrate on the outbreath 'U', whilst visualising the symbol of Earth in the genital-peritoneal area. This represents the Geosphere, the rocks and waters and atmosphere of the planet.
7) Repeat steps 6 to 1, working back to the power point in the brow.
8) Draw and visualise a Chaos Star ahead, intoning the IEAOU mantra and drawing the 4 intersecting lines carrying the eight arrows (in any preferred order) each to the sound of one of the first four sounds, finally complete the centre circle to the 'U' sound.
9) Turn 90 degrees to the left and repeat step 8 to the next quarter.
10) Continue and do the same to the other two quarters and return to metaphysical east.
11) Repeat steps 1 to 7. [DEPRECATED]
12) Remain silent for a few moments and strive for void-mindedness.
13) Laugh and relax, or go about the next magical operation. As with all rituals, participants should familiarise themselves with the meanings attributed to all symbols beforehand and then concentrate solely on the symbols themselves during performance to achieve maximum sleight of mind. Note on using the GCR 1.8 version and other variations Further variations on this banishing ritual have emerged from the praxis of group development. These include, removing the repetition of the pillar of sound vibrations (Step 11), on the grounds that this repetition acts as a 'double negative' on mundane reality, leaving the banishing banished. Variation 1.8 sees this single pillar of sounds combined with the Chaos Stars drawn to eight directions, rather than four, creating a more circular feel to the ritual.

[At Step 8 in the GCR]
*** to utlize the unicursal octogram in steps 8-10 (instead of a chaostar) simply trace from the northern position at point 1 tracing it in the air in front of you...


1 2 3 and then intone it as "I" in the brow of the forehead (Panpsychosphere)
3 4 5 and then intone it as "E" in the throat (Noosphere or Memesphere)
5 6 7 and intone it as "A" in the heart (Anthrosphere)
7 8 1 and intone it as "O" in the navel/solar plexus area (Biosphere)
Then draw a coutner-clockwise circle around the star and then intone it as "U" in the genital region then stop and intone the same "U" sound in the genitals region while tracing backwards 

1 to 8 - U
7 to 6 - O
5 to 4 - A
3 to 2 - E
2 to 1 - I
