User:FraterBrahmael

Greetings and welcome to my user page.

My (user) name is FraterBrahmael.

Don't think I'll put my real name in here. Some degree of privacy can be nice at times.

For years I've been editing Wikipedia anonymously. Filling pages regarding Zoroastrianism and Hinduism (and other similar subjects, although I've focused mostly on these traditions).

Created this account in order to keep track of my own activities and whatnot. Also to interact with other users since, as, you may very well know, there are actual people behind those screens.

Pending articles
I'm quite astonished at the amount of subjects that still don't have their own article at all here on Wikipedia.

Considering there's a wiki page for EACH of the 78 Tarot cards and all, you'd think the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Hexagram would already have its own page.

But no.

Anyways, most of the articles that I'm planning on writing are about the Occult and Western Mystery schools of Magick and / or Kabbalah / Hermeticism.

I'll probably focus on Golden Dawn-related articles articles at first, and maybe some Hinduism stuff here and there.

Here's a, uh, list of pages that I may write in the near future, depending of course on how much free time I have.

• Middle Pillar

• Lesser banishing ritual of the hexagram

• David Griffin (Golden Dawn)

• Analysis of the Keyword

• Qabalistic Cross

• Devadatta (horse)

And here's a list of... uh... already-existing articles that I'll probably edit massively or partially.

• Alpha et Omega

• Table of correspondences

• Chic Cicero

• Microcosm-macrocosm analogy

• Lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram

• Template:Golden Dawn

About me, I guess
Been a practicing magician for the majority of my life, studied multiple spiritual traditions through books and also directly from shamans, yogis and Hermetic adepts.

So I suppose I know a thing or two about Magick or whatever.

I'm a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Alpha et Ωmega.

Been practicing Numerological, Astrological and (Magickal) divinatory readings for hundreds of people throughout the years.

Not a fan of black magic. But I don't necessarily judge people who partake in it, unless they're sacrificing or torturing or whatever.

High Magick is what I focus on, when it comes to regular practice. "Low Magick" or "Manifestation" is certainly fun, and definitely worth studying / practicing. But then again - I only care about the Truth and the Truth only. High Magick brings you into those higher states of consciousness where understanding of the nature of all things naturally arises. And absolute, indescribable happiness is the result of that perception / understanding.

So, while Low Magick can make a couple things happen (which of course can be EXTREMELY useful in material life, especially if you plan on spending your bucks on land to build physical temples), I usually never teach "low magick" to someone who isn't interested in the Truth or "High" Magic in the first place.

Although the "high and low" and "white and black" dichotomies can be useful at times, they are of course ultimately false. An illusion. Just like duality, individuality, multiplicity, change, language and form in general.

Experienced the state of Samadhi in a full moon of May some years ago that completely changed me as a person. Shattered and rebuilt my perception of, well, everything really.

Of life, of death, of time, of duality, all of that stuff. Many things that I had read throughout the years were "confirmed" that day, and many were naturally destroyed.

I am not a magician, nor an astrologer, nor a student, nor a teacher, nor a Rosicrucian, nor a Hindu, nor a soul, nor a Zodiacal sign or whatever. All these things are only labels that cloud the mind from perceiving the True Self, Brahman. Language, too, is best to be disolved and forgotten along the other nonsense that deludes the mind.

I am Brahman. I am only the I Am, and so are you.

अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि, אהיה אשר אהיה, तत् त्वम् असि.

Naturally language (and especially the English language) is inherently dualistic in nature. Thus trying to speak the Truth with language inevitably leads to either incoherent ramblings or lies. "Telling the Truth to someone who can't understand it, is the same as lying" said Eliphas Levi.

Indeed, "When I speak, I lie, for the Truth cannot be spoken.", "The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao." and blah blah blah.

Yet, I have learned some languages and I'm interested in learning Sanskrit, Hebrew, and Latin. Kind of a contradiction indeed. In a way language reveals much about the development of cultures, of religious and spiritual traditions, about the nature of the human mind... and in another way, language is nothing but nonsense.

When you experience communication in the higher planes of existence, you inevitable begin to find language as nothing but a lie, a prison for communication to dwell in, a vehicle for misunderstanding and an utter waste of time. As with all things that require direct spiritual experience; if you know, you know.

The main traditions that I'm interested in - are (probably in order), Hinduism, Pythagoreanism, Hermeticism, the Kabbalah, Daoism, Buddhism, Stoicism, Neoplatonism, Gnosticism, Esoteric Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Sufism. Mostly Advaita Vedanta and Golden Dawn stuff above everything else.

Above all, the more rooted in "monism" or "nonduality" (and reality) a tradition is, the more I tend to respect it. I don't consider my "beliefs" absolute truth by any means, but some things are not beliefs but the truth. I have to say that when I experienced Samadhi, I was ignorant enough to not even know the existence or meaning of the word "Samadhi" itself. I did not know of Advaita or the concept of "Brahman" either. Nor did I know of the word "Monad" (and the symbol Pythagoras used to represent such concept) nor "monism".

Yet in that blissful, indescribable state of absolute knowing and timelessness, I experienced (and learned) many of the things taught by "monist" philosophies like Advaita. Logically, when I found such tradition(s), I recognized them to be the absolute truth, because everything that I was reading, I had already experienced.

I don't debate people online on the nature of reality or the nature of the truth. It is a waste of time.

Although I do consider that everything is One, that Brahman alone is real, and consider this to be THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH (not as my opinion but the ABSOLUTE Truth as confirmed by my empirical experience of Samadhi and further confirmed in the writing of sages), I have no interest in convincing anyone of that. And when writing in more "formal" or "serious" contexts (such as actual Wikipedia articles) I do of course use impartial, "scholarly" ways of presenting the information as only information "according to [tradition]..." despite the fact that I tend to view scholars and overly-saturnial, overly-epistemological people as clowns.

I have not yet published any book on Magick or any subject really. But I will, eventually.

For all intents and purposes, you can contact me at fraterbrahmael@gmail.com. If I don't reply immediately it's probably because of lack of free time. I never intentionally ignore emails that aren't garbage, so if your 1st message didn't get a reply, feel free to send another one 👌
