"In The Magic Mountain there is a great deal said of an alche-mistic, hermetic pedagogy, of
transubstantiatiation.   And I, myself a guiless fool,  was guided by a mysterious tradition for it is those very words that are always used in connection with the mysteries of the Grail."

"...-who voluntarily, all too voluntarily embraces disease and death, because its very first contact with them gives promise of extraordinary enlightenment and adventurous advancement, bound up, of course, with correspondingly great risks."

"And perhaps you will find out what the Grail is; the knowledge and the wisdom, the consecration the highest reward, for which not only the foolish hero but the book itself is seeking."

Page 729

"It is the idea of the human being, the conception of a future humanity that has passed through and survived the profoundest knowledge of disease and death.  The Grail is a mystery, but humanity is a mystery too.  For man himself is a mystery, and all humanity rest upon reverence before the mystery that is man."
 

This acknowledgement to the contributions of others within this hymn of praise to creative intelligent consciousness, is freely and humbly given.  It is indicative of where Eht Namuh stands on the ladder of
its progress, that at this quintessential moment of time, each and every one  of us seeks recognition for the this of that, which all of us as creative entities have been entrusted with exteriorizing, for and on behalf of, that creative intelligent consciousness that holds each and every one of us in thrall.  The that of the thou, which is the initiator, and motivating power of the mysterious process of life .Oh Namuh, within the this of the that, of the he as in she, of the thou as in ought, of the ought as in thought, thou shouldst render only praise and credit to the true creator.  The energy of intelligent living creativity, abundant and fecund, manifested everywhere and in everything. For all is living energy, living creative energy, known variously and collectively as the one God.  



Cast off the shackles of thy puny ego Oh Namuh, and accord thanks, only for thine honoured participation in creativity of a kind, and thank your stars for that.
There is a mountain to climb or otherwise a mounting oblivion shall be your future.
  
Take heed the notion, that notion, the notion of an individual unique self. For that notion is no notion at all.Therefore, if any part of this, of the that of our own contribution within this work, can in any way help to free the understanding of thee, Eht Namuh, from the dark age tyranny of thy thinking. Thy thinking thoughts as to the he as in she absurdity, that of the eye of an individual self. Then so be it,    publish and be not damned, but be thou blessed, and give only thy praise, in wonder to that living essence of the energy within and without, which is thy true nature. Blessed be the name of thy true god, which is at one with  the thou that is thee, for thou art of it and it is of thee.

                                      TheBeginning of the Journey into the Heretofore
The White Rabbitz said unto the Zed Aliz Zed, Zed AlizZed, the time of thy calling is at hand. Within the creative wherewithall of the this and that of where thou art now at, thou hast been summoned for trial. Thou art a being  aware as any to the this a' that  nature of the coming  ordeal, and know, that if you succeed in this for which thou hast been born ,and which it is your bounden duty, and sacred task to fulfill, that you will only be able to return to the Land of the Living minus that with which you first set out.
The preparation of the years is over, you must leave at once and attempt the crossing of The Great Divide.You will be allowed to take nothing with you, other than the compass of thine own minds eye and such  karmic unfortunates as may choose in ignorance to accompany thee. Go now and may thy God be with thee.
And so it was with fearful trepidation that the Zed Aliz Zed was made to realise at long last that the quitessential moment of the quintessential moment of a long awaited fate was upon them.
Alizzed understood full well the import of the White Rabbitz words, and felt the spirit within tremble in mortal anguish, at the thoughts of the trials to come.
Then and only then did The Zed Aliz Zed, within that total aloneness demanded of the voyager, descend into the perfect fit of the Osiris box and disappear into the void.

 

 
                                                       The Voyage of the Journeyman
The Zed Aliz Zed had a companion in kind, for the journey of attempt across The Great Divide,and as you, the being, being the reader are the assumed interested observer of all this, it is at this, the pivotal point of departure upon our journey that we would introduce you to the esteemed, if somewhat ordinary,very FarYonder Scribe whos sacred task of fulfillment it is, acting  out of duty and service, to faithfully record the every why and wherefores of this altogether strange adventure.
And it is the he as in she of this one, that one, the very one, even now locked into the quintessential moment of their forever, to whom we constantly refer,who shall be known variously, as, the very far yonder scribe, yonder scribe, the scribe, or scribe.
As far as you, yourself, and  I are concerned, having arrived at this your very own moment of destiny. It should be well understood that by reason of the eyes of recognition alighting upon this work That you and I have as it were, entered into a series of commitments intimations of an understanding arrived at. A nod and a wink, a knowing of the score, a meeting of minds. And that there has been initiated between us, a series of transactions, even now at this moment within the silence of our conversation a number of bargains are being struck. This places upon you the certainty of responsible choice, that either you, who hold the other end of this christmas cracker ,stop now, cease and desist those deliberations presenting themselves to that crystal ball of your, let it be said, own minds eye, and go no further .Thus will our contract  be terminated be consigned to the dustbin of unresolved dreams And if so go with our blessing and rest you easy,for your time has not yet come.If on the other hand the one apposite and opposite to the one you have left, you make the decision to honour our embryo. Then welcome to our expedition of sorts,our confinement has been a long one the birth difficult and that which seemed as if it never would be, now is, it is a time for rejoicing .Even so, in a time without time, there is no time to lose, we must strike camp and begin our journey
we travel light upon our quest and carry with us only one question and a sacred secret ,the location and description,of a tree a particular peculiar and indeed unique tree, that tree, the Gnosis tree for it is only the fruit of this one tree that can ever truly satisfy the emptyness of our hunger and assuage the raging of the thirst that consumes, and water never quenches. It is important that you are under no illusions as to the location of the Gnosis tree, it is able to grow and bring forth the fruit we seek in one place only. Upon the fertile land of missed opportunity that is found at the other side of The Great Divide whatsoever those words of double and triple meaning, mean to you.
I, The Zed Aliz Zed have been charged , to hold fast and keep safe the secret whereabouts of the Gnosis tree, and    you, having chosen to accompany us must keep safely the only question The God question, for you are now the  seeker of that will-o-the wisp Holy Grail answer to your own supposed existence, that indefinable something which is forever dancing at the end of your knows. And when at last we find that one and only tree of knowledge we will trade our question for the fruit that passeth understanding.
At that time will your once blind eyes be opened and ye shall see as ye never saw before .
Until such time you will accompany us as does the silence of a shadow.
And  so after asking for, and receiving, the services of the beloved once blind ass of serendip. The Zed Aliz Zed,The far yonder scribe and the thee, of me and my shadow,  as prepared as they ever would be for the do or die nature of the coming ordeal, said their goodbyes to the all and sundry of their existence.and under know illusions as to the future that never was, began their long days journey into light.
 
And time passed so quickly it seemed to all intents and purposes as if time was, as it were, one elongated moment of forever.

Quote " What sublimity of mind must have been his who conceived how to communicate his most secret thoughts to any other person, though very distant either in time or place, speaking with those who are in the Indies, speaking to those who are not yet born, nor shall be this thousand or ten thousand years?  And with no greater difficulty than the various arrangements of two dozen little signs on paper?  Let this be the seal of all the admirable inventions of men."

Quote  "I tell them  that if they will occupy themselves with
the study of mathematics they will find in it the best remedy against the lusts of the flesh."


All arithmetical subterfuge,
Comment, emphasis, insertions and insinuations,
are the work of Zed AlizZed,  as  recorded by the far yonder scribe.



The Scribe said to Alizzed., Zed Aliz Zed, did you know that the next word after arithmetic in the dictionary is ofttimes  Ark, as in Ark of the Covenant.



Reight said Alizzed ,thanks for that wah scribe, now, having roused thyself, dost thou remember,nor must thou ever forget, the sacred numbers with which we were entrusted by the blessed White Rabbitz, after our forth coming visit to the sovereign realm of the Lord High Yama.
I do not have to remember that which will never leave the nature of this mind ZedAlizZed said the scribe. As if a dream had tended.
On hearing this the ZedAlizZed before continuing turned to look on the countenance of the faithful far yonder scribe, doing so with a great love for that friend  and companion of their joint transmutation.
Then after offering  obeisance in honour of The blessed White Rabbitz, the ZedAlizZed again began the transmission.



Nine ,Seven and Three are the sacred numbers ,said Alizzed.
And the symbol of  the most sacred of those sacred numbers is the symbol of the number Nine.
Nine iz The Gods symbol, it is the symbol of the creative moment of change, it is the symbol that indicates The Death, and rebirth of a fecund living consciousness It is the moment of equilibrium, the act of balance, the moment of transfer, it is that that, that effects the transition betwixt and between Heaven and Earth. It is the symbol of the upside down of the downside up, and the downside up of the upside down. Its fusion with a brother and sister number marks the stirring and return of the God Osiris. It is the manifestation of that  metamorphosizing state of being of which all are. It is the very symbol of the living energy that is indestructable. It proclaims the one that Thou, that, that issues forth from the very font of the fulcrum of energies that constitute the fusion of mind and matter.It is the thus, that that, that is indicative of creative fluidity that proclaims the quintessential moment of time stood still. It is the shewn signal.of an indescribable magic It is the creative evocation of the  birth that arises az in  both directions at one and the same time.It is the seeing of the saw that sees, the tipping of the scales betwixt and between a life and a death. It is the symbol of the Alpha, and  Omega The A and the Z, In heralding the death knell of a life so does it triumphantly proclaim its immortality, it is the very essence of that from within which the fabric of reality is spun.
It is the mystery of the Nine. The Nine in addition, the Nine in contraction, and the Nine in division.
It is the mystery of all such variations of numerical alchemical distillations, which ,within the magic of Hermetic transubstantiation, conjure up that blessed moment of magic, occasioned as the majestic Nine and another spark, It denotes eternal change,and marks the twisting and turning of the numerical kaleidoscope,    the searching for, and mystical casting of the combinations of numbers that transmute from out of patterned potential, into the imperishable Gold of the sacred symbol that is the Nine.The  magical symbol  that denotes the act of creation .  The  God  Symbol.



Revealing the true nature of the meaning of the Nine Seven And Three is our mission scribe said AlizZed,it is the golden goal that lies at the end of our rainbow ,It is that jewel of transmutation for which the awakened must forever seek, it is  the creative elixir of the ELOHIM.
That is our sacred and most holy task oh very far yonder scribe said the Zed Aliz Zed, the thou that is thee and the thou that is me constitute the he as in she that is the Journeyman .We have said no more than enough scribe Now it is time to move on.



Once again with emphasis extraodinaire, the far yonder scribe writ as follows
The arithmetical subterfuge, emphasis,

"No, there is no arrogance in the world greater than that of dividing the children of our father into                          initiate and uninitiate and teaching double words; all-knowingly for the masses, knowingly in the inner circle .  No, we must speak what we know and witness what we have seen."

  "You must understand ", he said, " that every real religion, that is, one that has been created by learned people for a definite aim, consists of two parts. One part teaches what is to be done. This part becomes common knowledge and in the course of time is distorted and departs from the original. The other part teaches how to do what the first part teaches. This part is preserved in secret in special schools and with its help it is always possible to rectify what has been distorted in the first part or restore what has been forgotten."
Thus spake the prophet Gurdjieff.

"Realizing the weakness and imperfection of ordinary language the people who have possessed objective knowledge have tried to express the idea of unity in "myths" "symbols" and in particular verbal formulas" which, having been transmitted without alteration, have carried on the idea from one school to another, often from one epoch to another."  Thus spake the prophet Gurdjieff
Page 279
     2 + 7 + 9                   2 x 7 x 9
       2 + 7 = 9                    2 x 7
          9 + 9 = 18                 14 x 9 = 126
                     1 +  8 = 9                    1 + 2 + 6 = 9

"The aim of "myths" and "symbols" was to reach mans' higher centres, to transmit to him ideas inaccessible to the intellect and to transmit them in such forms as would exclude the possibility of false interpretation."
Thus spake the prophet Gurdjieff.
