THE HOLY GUARDIAN ANGEL vs. GOD
        
        "Be  strong, o man, lust, enjoy all things of sense and  rapture: 
        fear not that any God shall deny thee for this".
        
                                                           LIBER AL II.22
                                       ***
        
        Two  people  can look at a pencil and agree that it is  a  pencil 
        because  the senses have sent their brains  similar  information.  
        However,  since two objects cannot occupy the same space  at  the 
        same  time our perceptions will vary because our position to  the 
        pencil will differ.  
        
        This illustrates the great fall of conventional Religion.   Every 
        Sect  has  a perspective of God which differs from  other  sects, 
        they will not allow any deviance from what their experience  with 
        God has been.  They have failed to realize that the experience of 
        the Knowledge of God is different to every one depending on where 
        they  are  in  relation to the rest of the Universe,  as  I  have 
        illustrated above.
        
        "God"  is  a  word which attempts to  describe  an  entity  which 
        admittedly can not be described; yet those who use the word while 
        preaching  claim they know what "God" wants you to do.  If  "God" 
        wants  to tell you something, God will tell you Him  or  Herself. 
        God  wanted men and women to think independently, it is for  this 
        reason that God disguised Himself as a Serpent and "tempted"  the 
        pair.
        
        As  Gnostics  we must strive to develop a  personal  relationship 
        with  God,  without  the  middle man.   All  that  is  needed  to 
        accomplish the Union of Man and God is within our hearts, this is 
        the  mystery of the Christ. Conventional Religious Cults  do  not 
        want you to know this. They want you to feel like you need  them; 
        this  way  they can continue selling you real estate  in  heaven.  
        Cults  need to exercise control over their members, they are  not 
        in  the  least  bit interested in  their  devotees  developing  a 
        personal relationship with God.
        
        Every  man and woman should strive to create their own  religions 
        according to their own Wills and evolutionary development.  It is 
        a  good  idea to study all religions in order to  understand  the 
        Inner  Mysteries  hidden therein. Only by this Knowledge  can  we 
        come  to the Understanding which is necessary in  creating  one's 
        own   Myth.    Religion has a lot to offer and  one   can   learn  
        much  about  the culture and lives of the people who  follow  the 
        religion that one is researching.  
        
        Remember  that  since  Truth  is  beyond  speech  it  cannot   be 
        communicated.   Therefore, in order to avoid folly  when  reading 
        any Holy Book we must not take the literal meaning as the  Truth, 
        or  we  will  be  in danger of falling into  the  trap  that  the 
        Fundamentalist has fallen into.  Furthermore, don't trust  anyone 
        who claims to know the Truth.  Truth is protected from the vulgar 
        because it is written in a language that only the Initiated  will 
        understand.   Become  worthy of the Truth and it will  find  you.  
        Peoples experience of "God" will differ because God will manifest 
        Itself  to  the  individual according  to  their  race,  culture, 
        education, and previous experience.  

        Because   the  Magician  understands  this  basic  principle   of 
        philosophy he uses the term HOLY GUARDIAN ANGEL when referring to 
        his or her "God".  The Magician knows that the image in which God 
        has  manifested  Himself  to the individual is  only  one  in  an 
        infinite  at Its disposal.  
        
        Conventional philosophies go to great lengths to make one believe 
        that their God is the only one.  They boast about Its Omnipotence 
        and Omnipresence, yet; they fail to recognize that very same  God 
        as manifested in other cultures.  In essence, they blaspheme  the 
        same God that they claim to serve.  
        
        The Holy Guardian Angel is your God, It will not make you drop to 
        your knees or expect you to do the will of others.  It will  walk 
        with  you, and be there in times of need to comfort you,  and  in 
        times of great opposition It will be the blood that boils  within 
        you.   It  will laugh with you in times of  great  happiness  and 
        strengthen you in times of great sorrow.  
        
        The  image  which  your Angel has given you  is  uniquely  yours.  
        Remember to show others the benefit of knowing their own God,  as 
        the  sages of time tell us: "In true religion there is  no  sect, 
        therefore  take  heed that thou blaspheme not the name  by  which 
        another knoweth his God; for if you do this thing in Jupiter thou 
        will blaspheme IHVH and in Osiris IHShVH.  Ask and ye shall have!  
        Seek,  and  ye shall find!  Knock, and it shall  be  opened  unto 
        you!"  
        
                      PERCEPTION IS NINE TENTHS OF THE LAW.
