Liber 812

A Transcript of a live lecture by Mangrove to his devoted follower/dog.
"The Black Iron Prison furnishes us with a new metaphor for an old problem being that;
as advanced as humanity might seem at times, it has yet to transcend TEH STOOPID in
sufficient numbers or for any satisfactory duration. As such, it is the mission of the
SSOOKN to make it known that, this new metaphor has the divine sanction of the Holy
Kabbalah - just in case you thought it was the effluent by-product of cynical miscreants
glued to the internet. Let's begin...
Firstly, we can take the term BLACK IRON PRISON and apply Notariqon to condense: BIP.
Converting these letters into their Hebrew equivalents we get Beth, Yod, & Peh. BIP
gematrically enumerates to 812 hence the title of this lection and also contains a
heavily veiled reference to the administration of the eucharist to the community. And
remember kids, the next time you're in prison and someone called Jesus wants your bread -
it would be wise to share.
But right now, I want to focus our attention on B or Beth for Beth is Hebrew for House.
Now, if I had the time & inclination, I could offer an array of bewildering kabbalistic
connections to the hit TV show of the same name....ok......I can tell you won't rest until
I do....
The answer is simple. Beth is the 12th path on the Tree of Life and associated with the
Tarot card "THe Magician" which, in turn, is related to the god Mercury. Mercury carried the
double serpent entwined wand known as the Caduceus and the Caduceus is used frequently to
advertise doctors and other medical establishments.And if that's not enough for you
ceremonial magicians, the archangel Raphael also carries the Caduceus and his name in
English means 'God Who Has Healed'. Voila! Dr House.
An irrelevant digression? Perhaps not. Is not The Big House an endearing pet name for
prison? Ha! Bet you were wondering how I was going to dig myself out of that hole. To
further reinforce the point, allow me to quote from another prankster kabbalist,
Aleister Crowley who, in reference to Beth wrote:
"It is the dwelling place of man in the world of duality and illusion."
Illusion. There's the money shot right there, folks. Buying into the illusion is what the
BIP is all about. I don't use the word illusion lightly either, for the god Mercury - that
fleet-footed, tricky messenger boy of the Romans was also a god of commerce. We're so
easily lulled into falsehood by the slippery, shiny things, non? Shiny, slippery things like.
...oh...I don't know....Politics? Relgion? TV? Patriotism? Money is a symbol of the material
realm. YOU ARE NOT YOUR 'STUFF' MORON. The grimoire geeks will know that one of the spirits
of Mercury is Taphtatharath. A spirit that oversees, among other things - thieves. Thieves
in a prison? Who woulda thunk? People stealing stuff from us! People stealing us!? Argghh!!
Getting back to snakes for a minute...and I am not talking about the ones on planes either.
Snakes get a bad rap. We think of the reptilian brain as being like the poor uncultured,
philistine cousin that makes an asp out of itself at family gatherings. And don't get me
started on Eve and who whole 'mystical fruit embargo'!!
Other traditions with lesser amounts of panty fabric wedged into their gluteal clefts viewed
the serpent as a symbol of wisdom and of initiation. The Egyptian Pharoahs (which,
linguistically refers to a household FYI) had the ureas serpent displayed on their brows.
Whereabouts? About where the yogis of India said the Ajna Chakra resided, or what we
colloquially refer to as the 3rd eye. Now, the 3rd eye represents our intuition and our
ability to 'see' beyond the obvious, apparent and mundane. I should hope that he notion of
higher vision and BIP is ringing a few doorbells here. By 'higher vision' it is unecessary
to get into a debate over 'psychic powers' or anything of that sort - merely appreciate
that inmates of the BIP possess within them the potential to see beyond the obvious if the
so wish.
If you're wondering what any of this has to do with Discordian/Erisianism, then you're
duller than I realized...but here goes:
The Ajna Chakra of yoga is associated in terms of Western anatomy and physiology with the..
....I almost hate to say it...with the....
...PINEAL GLAND!! OMGROFLBBQ23WTF!!!
Got that out of your system yet? Ok. Good. Now let's review the pineal gland itself. Pineal
because ancient anatomists felt its shape was like that of a pine cone. one of its functions
is to produce melatonin, a hormone that is affected by light and is part of our cycle of
sleeping and awakening. Once again, before anyone starts reading the Madjgiqual Hosrie riot
act, I reiterate that, for our purposes, it is of no relevance or consequence whether a
person believes or disbelieves in the notion of chakras or psychism. The fact that the
pineal gland is, in the strictest scientific terms, responsible for us being AWAKE.
Therefore, the metaphor remains harmonious and consistent.
I need a drink....this is thyrsus* work....(*That's for the honour roll kids)
Now, allow me to direct your attention to the overhead projection whereby you will see
displayed, the Hebrew letter Beth. The shape of the letter denotes a roof, floor and
one wall (as seen from the side). It sort of implies that the 'house' lacks a front door.
I'll let that sit with your for a while.
In closing, I would like to draw your focus to this: B.L.A.C.K.
Biological Limitation Affects Complete Knowledge
and this:
BIP Learning Awakens teh Cool Kids.
Next week we discuss Iron.
Class dismissed!!! Scrid, bring me my sandwich!
