Now the most pure and simple way of calling the spirits or spirit is by a short oration to the spirit himself, which is more effectual and easy to perform than composing a table of letters; for all celestial operations, the more pure and unmixed they are, the more they are agreable to the celestial spirits: therefore, after the circle is drawn, the book, perfumes, rod, &c. in readiness, proceed as follows: (After noticing the exact hour of the day, and what angel rules that hour, thou shalt say,) "In the name of the blessed and holy Trinity, I do desire thee, thou strong and mighty angel   1 , Michæl, that if it be the divine will of him who is called Tetragrammaton , &c. the Holy God, the Father, that thou take upon thee some shape as best becometh thy celestial nature, and appear to us visibly here in this crystal, and answer our demands in as far as we shall not transgress the bounds of the divine mercy and goodness, by requesting unlawful knowledge; but ...

"My opinion is, that it will be necessary to leave a large part, if not the whole, of the troops now on the left of the Tagus in the Alentejo, at least till our works shall be in some greater degree of forwardness; and the measures I should wish you to pursue are generally to confine the enemy's operations as much as you can, taking advantage for that purpose of the course of the different rivers which fall into the Tagus. The first of these is that which falls into the Tagus at Benavente ; the second that which falls into the Tagus at Camora Correa; the third that which falls into the Tagus above Aldea Galega ; then the line from Moita to Palmela; and lastly, that from Almada to Traffaria."

Side 4 Tonight I will measure out the lines I will stride from the stones to bench to tree I will step softly and avoid the mines Set there by those who hate me to be free I am now a broken kaleidoscope Every month I am turned by my meds Their changes turn the dial, my perceptions Shift as the shattered glass turns and my Personality changes, the colours Define me, but they have moved against each Other, grinding, producing sparks that start Fires I can only see through broken glass Something's under the ice, the ice is thin It rises, the ice cracks, lines spread out like A spider web etched on the frozen skin I will hold them, the lines on this cold lake Through the lines of broken glass I can see The spider web of my soul torn apart By gales of med driven wind from each side Of the square, so I stand in the middle And despairingly, desperately try To hold it together, as stones and trees Move when my back is turned and the line...

"From this proposition it will follow, when arithmetical addition has been defined. that 1+1=2"

Lincos : Design of a Language for Cosmic Intercourse , published in 1960 by Hans Freudenthal , expands upon Astraglossa to create a general-purpose language derived from basic mathematics and logic symbols. A new generation Lincos has been developed since 2000 by Alexander Ollongren, as a part of the more general Astrolinguistics .   Wikipedia Lincos consists of a variety of mathematical terms and phrases, to be encoded into specific combinations of radio pulses and signal shapes and then beamed out into space. It is devised purely in terms of semantics and human logic, and accomplishes understanding by building from simple beginnings. Statements are arranged in words, sentences, and paragraphs. Freudenthal’s program begins by establishing the meaning of the terms "plus" and "equals." He would, for instance, send signals something like "beep bloop beep tweet beep beep" (1 + 1 = 2), perhaps followed by "beep bloop beep beep...

Side 3 I well remember people, places, things But no matter where,  it was people and They always broke me and the Empty Kings Of Addiction presided as I fell Their eyes were full of joy, wisdom and tears Their hands with scepters, with pipes, rocks and papers Don't want to crash, just fall my dears Into the depthless blue but I fell From the steeple of my hopes to the ground Of my fears and I look down as I fall On the Empty Kings Of Addictions' mound Where they stand with their eyes filled with love

Side 2 I wake at 6am Waiting for the engines of healing to begin. Engines are on at 6:30am Short men in dirty overalls struggle with them in caverns of polished steel Meals are at 7am, 11:30 am and 4:30pm At 7am the engines are running at full speed Cylinders the size of buses reciprocate obscenely. The short men are stressed. They watch dials, worry about grease steaming away. Classes are at 7am, 11:30am 1:30pm and 3:30pm Recreation time is 11am to 11:30am. Walking the quadrangle is tough on the nerves. Who knows what side 4 will contain this time? Ward meetings could be anytime. Advanced hypnotic techniques are used. A soothing yet authoritative voice. Spiralling patterns like spinning seashells on he TV. We are told of possible engine malfunctions in the near future. Meds are at 7:30pm For some of us the time when sunlight though a dirty window resolves into images of the short men, filled with joy and wisdom. At 7:35pm the light is sour yellow, illuminating dus...

An early radioglyph scheme for interstellar communication (see CETI ) proposed by the British mathematician Lancelot Hogben . He gave details of it in a 1952 lecture to the British Interplanetary Society , entitled "Astraglossa, or First Step in Celestial Syntax," and later described it in a book. 1 Hogben suggested that numbers be represented as ordinary pulses (e.g. five pulses for the number five) and mathematical concepts, such as "plus,""minus," or "equal," each by a distinctive signal – a radioglyph.

A Riddle I am born on May Morning - by sticks, bells, and ribbons I am the sap - in the dark root I am the dancer - with his six fools I am the tump - behind the old church I am the lost soul - under the misericord I am the oak - against the stars I am the face - that peers through the leaves I am the fear - in a child' s mind I am the demon - on the roof-boss I am killed in October - and laid on church altars I am the guiser - on the bright bonfire I am the old grain - sown with the seed I am the flame - in the pumpkin ' s grin I am the spirit - in the kern-baby's bosom Who is the Green Man?

Quadrangle 1. a plane figure having four angles and four sides, as a square.   2. a square or quadrangular space or court that is surrounded by a building or buildings, as on a college campus. 3. the building or buildings around such a space or court. My thoughts are starlight Through broken glass And when that splintered light Falls upon me I will walk one side only I will walk in shadow Quietly crying, "I am here! I am here!" Like a small child Lost on a beach

But while a tree doesn’t fall to crush a flower, it also doesn’t fall because its a tree! Things other than trees fall, even though it seems pretty clear that a tree is always concomitant with “that which falls”. Just Thomism

Then place the vessel for the perfumes between thy circle and the holy table on which the crystal stands, and, having fire therein, cast in thy perfumes, saying, "I conjure thee, oh thou creature of fire ! by him who created all things both in heaven and earth, and in the sea, and in every other place whatever, that forthwith thou cast away every phantasm from thee, that no hurt whatsoever shall be done in any thing. Bless, oh Lord, this creature of fire , and sanctify it that it may be blessed, and that they may fill tip the power and virtue of their odours; so neither the enemy, nor any false imagination, may enter into them, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen ." Now, this being done in the order prescribed, take out thy little book, which must be made about seven inches long, of pure white virgin vellum or paper, likewise pen and ink must be ready to write down the name, character , and office , likewise the seal or image of whatever spirit may appear (for t...

The Face If we could tear down the sky like the cheap Drapery it really is we would see All these things and more, but behind it all, We would see a face - huge, asymmetrical Broken like a boxers at careers end Eyes red with blood, blurred with tears, filled with rage Look from a face like an ancient mask of Terracotta, cracked by time, unglazed Dusty red, wet lips move, slow syllables Make out the word of unmaking, one word An eon, a mad god unwinds the threads that Hold together the world behind the sky

"jDABBI MOSES Ben Maimon or Maimonides, called alsoRAMBAM from the initials of his name, and Moses the Egyptian from his long residence in Egypt, was bom at Cordova in Spain, in the year 1131, or according to some 1138, of the Christian era. His father, who was descended from an illustrious line of ancestors, sustained the office of judge among his own nation; and by his knowledge of jurisprudence, and the ability and integrity with which he executed the difficult and important duties of the magistracy, secured the respect of Christians as well as Jews. The education of young Maimonides appears to have been conducted,at first, under the immediate superintendence of his father ; but a series of domestic quarrels having subsequently obliged him to quit the paternal roof, he placed himself under the care of the most learned Jewish teachers, and studied, with sedulous attention, the Mosaic Law, and its various Talmudical and Rabbinical commentaries. After devoting some ...

The Machines In other places hidden by the sky There were cascades of machinery Turned, powered by paddles pushed by super- Sonic waterfalls, pistons and cogs moved Together in relays as long as A continent, as high as a house. engines That carried coils of data upward to The inaccessible peaks where, under Loops of light, reality becomes real And flows downhill in vast cataracts to Infect worlds below with consistency

Born at Amsterdam , 24 Nov., 1632; died at The Hague , 21 Feb., 1677. He belonged to a family of Jewish merchants of moderate means, and was originally called Baruch, a name that he later translated into its Latin equivalent Benedict. His father's name was Michael, his mother, Michael's second wife, was called Hana Debora. In 1641 Michael married a third wife who was named Hester de Espinosa. The family probably had some connexion with the little town of Espino in Spanish Galicia, and with the celebrated Marrano family there called Espinosa. (The Marranos were Spanish Jews compelled to conform outwardly to Christianity .) Baruch attracted attention in the school for Portuguese Jews at Amsterdam by his talents and application to study. He made rapid progress in Hebrew and the study of the Talmud, and his teachers, especially Rabbi Saul Levi Morteira, had the greatest hopes of his future. It was intended that he should become a rabbi. The subtle methods of the teachers ...

The Cities There were cities up there, intricately Carved into living rock, up and down a Thousand feet, fifteen feet deep, elegant Homes, one room after another, shallow Caverns containing formal gardens, scents Of mountain flowers drifting over rocks that Were encrusted with lichen, pale gray, rose Red grey, washed out pastels against the Dark grey of the rock, there were farms, six inch Wide terraces of pounded rock mixed with Excrement. There were vertical hunts for Nests of giant birds or the lizards of The High Cliffs where loops and curtains of light Crash against jagged black rocks forever

In what time thou wouldest deal with the spirits by the table and crystal , thou must observe the planetary hour ; and whatever planet rules in that hour, the angel governing the planet thou shalt call in the manner following; but first, say this short prayer: "Oh, God! who art the author of all good things, strengthen, I beseech thee, thy poor servant, that he may stand fast, without fear, through this dealing and work; enlighten, I beseech thee, oh Lord! the dark understanding of thy creature, so that his spiritual eye may be opened to see and know thy angelic spirits descending here in this crystal: ( Then lay thy hand on the crystal saying ,) and thou, oh inanimate creature of God, be sanctified and consecrated, and blessed to this purpose, that no evil phantasy may appear in thee; or, if they do gain ingress into this, creature, they may be constrained to speak intelligibly, and truly, and without the least ambiguity, for Christ's sake. Amen . And forasmuc...
