A Map Of The Cosmos of Awake In The Kingdom:

 

1. Building The Temple: The words are from the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram used by the Golden Dawn and unleashed upon the world by Aleister Crowley and Israel Regardie initially, many others later on.

It’s used to banish unwanted influences and to center and ground before embarking on voyages of altered states.

 

2. Mothership Arrival: This is a soundscape that acts as a bridge between the intro and the middle section. When you perform banishings and invocations something happens. The sounds in this recording symbolize the opening of human awareness to other states of consciousness than those typically inhabited by domesticated primates of Terra.

 

3. Cabin Fever: Rain is a big part of why I had the time to make this album in the course of the month of December 2007. Had the weather been less nasty in my home town I would have spent more time outside. This is the initial stage of relaxation that is rather loud, but smooth, the frequencies of the guitar modified by amplification and delay to cover a wide frequency spectrum massage the ears of the listener and symbolize the thoughts and desires of any sentient being echoing through the multiverse. Let it wiggle your tense spots and relax.

 

4. Sea Goat: This is part II of the relaxation phase. It’s also guitar based, but much softer with powerful but not overwhelming low frequencies from keyboards to further relax mental tension that corresponds to tense muscles. Relaxation is essential as it’s hard to sense subtle energies and use them to heal and manifest desire while you’re holding unnecessary tension in your body. In fact these energies can sometimes increase tension if invoked without first relaxing and centering.

 

5. Calling All Angels: This is a shaman beat of 240 beats per minute, a very effective frequency for leading human minds into trance states. The words are from the first two Enochian calls from the system John Dee and Edward Kelly commonly known as Enochian Magick. There are 19 calls and the first two correspond to spirit. This piece prepares the listener for the real meat (or tofu if you prefer) of this album, Bringing Down The Light.

 

6. Bringing Down The Light: This is based on an energy awareness exercise called the Middle Pillar. It starts with one voice and one keyboard note symbolizing the cosmic seed of all existence. Physically this corresponds to the crown of the head. As each new voice and instrument are added the arrangement becomes more dense symbolizing the descent of the energy first to the throat, then the heart, then the genitals, then the feet where a drum beat begins.

The next phase is called the Circulation of the Body of Light by Israel Regardie but I prefer to use the Microcosmic Orbit of Taoist origin since it’s path is more precise. The mind guides the bio energy generated by the exercise up the spine, over the top of the head, and down the midline of the front of the body back to the root and up again.

The closing movement of this piece is Planet Earth which reminds us to avoid leaving the energy in our heads and hearts and bringing it back to the navel where it can be safely stored by the body to be used as needed.

 

7. Mothership Departure: The trance is ended and normal awareness returns.

 

8. Leaping Laughter: The digeridoo hum symbolizes the return to where we began. Laughter is the method of banishing to close the temple and return to the world refreshed.
