First: The LRP is special in that it has a set starting place following the course of East to South to West to North in a series. It doesn't follow a simple gemetric invoking/banishing form in that for instance you wouldn't think of using just one of it's directional pentagram/vibrations for a specific thing, (like try to banish Water with an Earth Pentagram and vibrating AHIH :>) you always used all four and in this particular order. This suggests that the rubric instelf is a relational one in regards the names and the sequence, Considering this it becomes pretty clear that what the LRP can easily be seen as a microcosm of the Great Work. First the Tetragrammaton, IHVH; the knowledge and conversation of the Four Elements you could say. 1=10 through 4=7 Then the ADNI; None other than the Holy Guardian Angel. The portal, the viel between the Outer and Inner Orders. The attention turns from invoking and balancing the elements toward invoking Spirit. AHIH : I Am. Becomingness; the knowledge: I Am That, now the mystical title Lord(ADNI) is transcended and we Become. 5=6 The becoming of That which was only a promise at the gate of the sanctuary. AGLA : Thou art(Ateh) Mighty(Gebur) Forever(Le Olahm) Lord(ADNI) : Now the Adept wields the sword of might as a true Knight bearing the Sword (geburah) of His Will 6=5 Well I guess I lapse into true mystic form: When you get to the last little bit and you can't explain it, go poetic and maybe no one will notice yer faking it. ;> Robin
