A) Overview of system and components

The Ophanic Intelligences, the sentience of whirling Light, gave Dr. Dee a powerful
tool for leveraging reality. Imagine a magick tool box, small enough and portable
enough to be scattered throughout the galaxy. The tool box contains "tools" designed
to build a mechanism that functions as a combination radio set, life raft and
emergency medical instrument. Included along with the tools is a DNA trigger coded
instruction sheet.

Learning the alphabetic wave forms of symmetry set coherent sacred languages, such
Hebrew, Greek, Sanskrit, etc., creates a stable psychic platform onto which the inter-
locking non-local dimensional structures of the Ophanic Language can be
downloaded. This ensures that the tool box will be opened by someone with the
spiritual perspective to use it. The information was originally given to Dee because he
could understand and respect the material. Mathers was able to expand upon the
material for the same reasons.
Within the last five years, certain leaps forward in our understanding of the Ophanic
rescue project have occurred. They point, with eerie synchronicity, toward the
Enochian material of Dr. Dee. Only now do we begin to see the outlines of the
complete system and what it may be intended to accomplish.

The starting point is the alphabet itself. Arranged in the sixty-four characters used to
spell the "title functions" of the letters, the alphabet creates a DNA sensitive matrix.
Meditation on this pattern, and its evolution into a 16-cell 4D geometric figure, the
dual of the Hyper-Cube, triggers a DNA coded process that allows us to emotionally
and intellectually grok the Ophanic Language.

Once this is absorbed, the physical structure and psychic hardware of our
"mechanism" can be constructed. The physical platform is the Holy Table. Its purpose
is to support the floating focal point of the system, the Sigil of Truth and Orb Module.
The Table contains Ophanic letter patterns that generate an operational field domain
that is continually unpacking higher sources into the local World of Action. It is
insulated by small Sigils of Truth under each physical contact point to ensure that
local negativity does not contaminate the system. Sort of like a surge protector on the
power supply of a computer.

In fact the whole "mechanism" resembles a computer in its design and function. The
Holy Table is an energy condenser charged by exposure to terrestrial currents. Think
of it as the power supply and wiring patterns. Next come the psychic structure, the
micro-chips, of the computing platform. These are the Elemental Tablets, formed into
their hyper-cubic Temple structures, and the Tablet of Union that holds them in place
and maintains continuity of process between diverse functions.

Hebrew unpacks only into a cube-octahedron, a truncation of a cubed octahedron.

This "dymaxion" shape allows the surface of a sphere to map accurately onto 2
dimensions. The Ophanic language unpacks outward into higher dimensions. The
dodecahedron forms the transitional stage, a blend of Hebrew and Ophanic, while the
higher unpacking of the hyper-cube forms the 24-cell 4D figure, which contains the
3D structure of both the dodecahedron and the icosahedron.

This structure is visualized as the environment in which the Holy Table, Sigil of Truth
and the Orb operate. The Sigil of Truth is placed on the base of the Orb Module to act
as a template or filter for truthful or coherent information exchange. The module itself
supports this function by providing a direct link to a Tablet of Union balanced flow of
energy. The Orb provides a link with the anchoring structures on Giza.

When the hardware is in place, then the operating system must be booted up,
activating the processing routines. This is accomplished by vibrating the 18 Elemental
Keys. These Keys also bring the Tablet of Union on line at the same time. Once these
operations are in place, then the content rich extensions known as the Aires or Aethyrs
can be activated. The 30 Aethyrs form the constant localities symbolized by the 30
edges of both the dodecahedron and the icosahedron. These edges are contact zones
where planetary and galactic forces inter-phase. The 49th Key of Silence acts as a
modem connecting us with galactic information central.

Now our non-local computer is turned on and running. We have a choice of 93

programs that directly effect the earth and its immediate environment in space, and
700 programs for effecting individual and societal change. Our first act with the non-
local system will be to call up Central and ask for more instructions before we begin
to activate programs.

The goal of this handbook is to present the Ophanic material in a simple and direct
way, with nothing left out or obscured by overly complex jargon. Only in this way can
we actually expect to perform this complex spiritual operation. The clearer everyone
is on what we are doing and how it works, even if they don't understand the details,
the better the working will be.

B) Letters and Language

On March 26, 1582, early on in the transmission process, Dee and Kelly were
instructed to draw the characters they saw in an eight by eight square held up by the
angel Ave. A faint yellow outline of an alphabetic character appeared on the page in
front of Dee, which he then filled in with ink. The characters were somewhat similar
to several magickal scripts, including that described by Pantheus in his
Voarchadumia, but more refined. They are also vaguely reminiscent of Ethiopian
characters.
The titles of the twenty-one letters emerged in three groups of seven; twenty
characters spell seven titles in the first group, twenty-one in the second and twenty-
three in the third, for a total of 64 characters. These titles are odd; they seem to have
no relationship to the phonetic value of the letter.

The letters themselves have been demonstrated, by dowsing, to be tightly focused

wave guides. The dowsing crystal forms a specific energy oscillation for each letter.
The oscillation changes orientation with the letter, indicating that the wave guide of
the letter is omni-directional. Since each letter is asymmetrical, the complete group of
twenty-one forms three variations on the seven-fold symmetry set. Only eighteen
letters are used to spell out the titles of the letters; the three left out letters, B, Q, and
Z, one from each of the three symmetry groups, form the three points on each face of
an invisible tetrahedron. The missing or hidden 22nd letter, corresponding to the
Greek Theta, is the invisible center point of the tetrahedron.
Each 64 character square can be read from one of four directions, and the reading can
start from each of the four corners.

This produces 16 different symmetry sets or patterns. Each pattern, or way of reading
the letter titles, produces 32 different sub-domains, that is eight "names" or frequency
signatures in each of the four directions. This gives us a grand total of 512, or eight
cubed, individual symmetry set domains.

The 16-cell 4D figure, a 4D octahedron, or a pyramid within a pyramid, has the same
relationship to the hyper-cube as a 3D octahedron has to a cube. Just as the vertices of
the octahedron form the faces of the cube, so do the vertices of the 16-cell hyper-
octahedron form the cells of the hyper-cube.

This arrangement is familiar from the development of the hyper-cube within the Meta-
Programming Protocol. In that instance, the 16 Hebrew letters used to spell the four
letter names of God in the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram are used to form a 4D
octahedron; eight letters, A, D, N, Y, G, V, L, and H, form the outer surface of the 3D
octahedron. The repeated letters, A, (3) Y, (1) V, (2) and H(2) form the inner cells of
the 4D octahedron. The vertices of this 4D octahedron form the cells of the hyper-
cube created by the four pentagrams and the four godnames. The archangelic names
form the four faces and hidden center point of a tetrahedral symmetry generator that
animates the hyper-cube.
Each of the basic sixteen symmetry patterns of the 64 square Ophanic alphabetic
structure forms a cell of the 4D octahedron. The eight patterns formed on the
horizontal or the vertical are the eight surface faces that show in a 3D octahedron. The
eight diagonal patterns form the inside cells of the 4D octahedron. Within each cell,
the 32 sub-domains form the faces of the 4D figure; the 16 directions and the eight
categories of sub-domain form the 24 edges of the 16-cell figure. The eight vertices
are formed by the same ranking as the categories of sub-domain, that is either eight
across, eight down, eight names with one to eight letters, etc.

So far, we have developed a dimensional structure similar to that of Hebrew; a

spinning tetrahedron throwing off symmetry angles inside a 4D octahedron that turns
itself inside out to form the hyper-cube of the pentagram ritual. The Ophanic alphabet
of symmetry also uses a tetrahedron (focused on the vertices rather than the faces) and
generates a 4D octahedron from its symmetry sets and sub-domains. However, instead
of turning inside out to form a hyper-cube, the Ophanic language crystal 4D
octahedron folds outward to form six hyper-cubes, one unfolding from each face of
the Hebrew and Ophanic Cube of Space. (Both Hebrew and the Ophanic Letters form
the faces, edges, axis of orientation and central point of a space defining cube.) Each
of these outwardly unfolding hyper-cubes is formed from one of the four Elemental
Tablets.

Unlike the Hebrew 16-cell 4D figure, which uses only eight of 22 letters and
delineates no further internal 4D components, but is used at every working, the
Ophanic 4D octahedron is fully developed structurally and never used directly in the
Ophanic Language or system. It seems to be a mental construct designed to be
absorbed by the unconscious and then used to leverage the interactions of the system
at the level of the DNA. It is helpful to think of the Ophanic 4D octahedron as a seed
containing all the possible DNA derived probability waves. In other words, the literal
matrix of creation.

The Ophanic language developed from the squares described in the Liber Logaeth, or
"Book of the Speech of God." Some of this early form of the Ophanic language
resembles verb tense and other grammatical drills. None of this was translated directly
into English, although Dee ventured a few interpretations. At any rate, a large number
of squares were generated in this trance-like way.
In 1584, Dee and Kelly received instructions on how to convert the squares of some of
the tablets in the Liber Logaeth into invocations or calls. This time, the angels
provided a translation. The language that emerged had English phonology and
grammar, but the roots and other vocabulary elements are not directly derivable from
English, Latin, Greek, or Hebrew. Some roots are similar to Sanskrit and Egyptian,
but some are simply alien in construction and pronunciation.

The Keys or Calls contain the purest example of the Ophanic Language that we have.
The names formed from the Tablets are more random in appearance, and are much
more difficult to translate. The Keys seem to provide a literary structure, the grammar
and syntax, that is needed to operate the more complex frequency signatures
embedded within the structure.

C) The Holy Table

The Holy Table is the altar component, the point of terrestrial contact. As such, it
functions as an energy source for the entire system. Condensing the telluric current of
its location, the Holy Table also imparts a higher organizing principle, a kind of
centropic flow, on the chaotic earth energy. This geomantic consideration is often
overlooked, just as the Holy Table itself is hardly mentioned in the Golden Dawn
material.

Dee, however, was vitally concerned with this component, and also did extensive
research into the megalithic antiquities of Britain. We have no information on how
Dee viewed the connection between his Angelic work and his geomantic research, but
the nature of the 91 Governors' relationship to the surface of the planet indicates a
subtle geomantic wisdom on the part of the Ophanic Intelligences.

Under the Holy Table heading, we will also look at several other physical components
of the system: the ring, the Lamen, the module and the crystal Eye of Ra Orb. Along
with the Table, these physical components are designed to integrate the telluric and
bio-physical energies of the place and the operator with the non-local communication
frequencies.

1) Actually more of a table covering or cloth, the Holy Table is a square of twenty-
three sections per side containing a hexagonal interpenetrating triangle design. Each
corner of the square contains the letter Pa, (B) so that the first and last letter of each
twenty-three character side are the same. This suggests another omni-directional
collection of symmetry sets. This particular grouping of symmetry sets is derived
from the heptagonal structure of the Angels of Light. In the center hexagonal figure,
there is a three by four square. In each of these twelve squares is an Ophanic letter.
Reading right to left across, this gives us the names OIT, RLU, LRL, and OOE.
Down, from left to right, we find TULE, ILRO, and ORLO. These two symmetry sets
give seven names out of 12 characters. The diagonal symmetry sets give six more
names, in one-two-three character groupings. Our basic frequencies begin to emerge
as (6) 7, 12, (13) 21 (22) and 23. Twenty-three, the number of chromosomes each
partner contributes to a child, forms the DNA connection at the level of human sexual
activity. Twenty-two, the letters on each side without repeating the Pa, as in both
Hebrew and Ophanic Letters, is the structural components of the Cube of Space. Each
of the four sides then forms a dimensionally imploded, from 3D to 1D, cube. The
corner Pa, or B, is the mark of pressure where light condenses into matter from the
four directions. As in the Mayan pyramids, these corners are aligned to the true
directions. The hexagonal central structure serves to fix the six diagonal forces
generated by the 12 central squares. In form it is very similar to the RA grid hexagram
used in the Orb Module.
The seven greater names formed from the center grid by horizontal and vertical
rankings combine with the other six to give us our implied 13. The 21 letters on each
side, without the corner Pa, form a Fibbonaci, or phi ratio with the 13 names. In the
same way, 22/7, the relationship of the Cube of Space to the symmetry angles (angels)
of the tetrahedron, gives us an approximation of Pi. These seven names also rule the
seven talismans of the earthly planetary forces that are placed on the circle around the
hexagonal figure.
2) Like the Holy Table and the Sigil of Truth, the Ring and the Lamen were part of
the very earliest Enochian sessions. The Angels communicated their importance, and
these items were used as a part of the ritual setting throughout the rest of the sessions.
The Ring is a simple Golden Mean rectangle with a large Phi symbol in the center.
The phi is aligned horizontally; above the bar is a V and below it is an L. These
symbolize recursion; the V is intra-dimensional, while the L is inter-dimensional. In
each corner of the rectangle is a letter, spelling the name PELE, or "he who workth
wonders" as he was known to the medieval Kabbalists. (I prefer the Ophanic letters
for this name.) The purpose of this ring is to show the tangible proof of the operator's
understanding of the basic geometry of the system. It sums up the whole operation of
the Holy Table into one symbol.

3) The Lamen is also an adaptation of the operation of the Holy Table, only applied to
physical body of the operator. The outer perimeter names of the Holy Table invert
their symmetry set to produce a 7 x 12 grid, from which the central 3 x 4 grid is taken.
This 7 x 12 grid is then re-arranged by sections to form the Lamen. When worn in
ceremony, it forms a link between the operator and the energy source. The central
tilted square, read on a diagonal, forms a protective energy inter-phase on the surface
of the skin. The square enclosing the tilted square directs the energy to and from the
heart, of the operator and the Holy Table array. The perimeter square moves the
energy field deep with the DNA. The Lamen should be lettered in Ophanic.

4) The Module is a pyramid shaped structure designed to contain and shape the energy
operations of the Eye of Ra Orb. The platform, built of alternating layers of silk and
copper and aligned edge on toward the compass points, supplies a coherent flow of
energy that is then massaged into a toroidal shape by the Tablet of Union patterning
around the edge of the base plate. The central area of the plate is left open for the
insertion of templates such as the Seal of Truth or the Round Tablet of Nalvage. The
pyramidal super-structure is built of copper in the correct proportions of the Great
Pyramid at Giza. A RA Unification grid, a type of hexagramic location device, floats
at the level of the King's Chamber floor. Above the center of the RA grid hangs a wire
basket supporting the Eye crystal. The basic principle is the intersection of the unified
energy torrid with the fixing structure of the RA Grid and the non-local reference
point of the Eye. The pyramidal shape acts as a broadcasting unit transmitting the
energy/information into space.
5) The Eye of Ra is a crystal orb that was infused with the energy signature of the
original up-link to Sirius/Orion. It operates as a floating point processing unit that is
without any space/time limitations.
D) The Sigil of Truth

The fifth of the seven Great Seals of the Ophanim, the Sigil or Seal of Truth is the
first template or filter used with the Orb Module and the Holy Table. Its function is to
provide a coherent communication signal, a truthful response. As such, it is also used
to insulate the Holy Table -- a Sigil is placed under each contact point with the earth.

The Sigil of Truth operates within the physical hardware in the same way that the
Tablet of Union functions within the psychic hardware. With the Holy Table, it
provides a unifying level for the entire system.
The outer edge of the Sigil contains 40 characters; some are letter/number
combinations, some have only letters. These characters form the names of the four
elemental rulers of the Watchtowers and the seven planetary rays that animate the
Angels of Light. The four letters not used in these names form the operative name of
the unifying angel of the Tablet of Union and the Round Tablet of Navlage.

The outer edge of the Sigil with its circle of letter/numbers can be seen as the interface
between the Atziluthic or Divine realm and the realm of Archetypes, the Briatic
world. The Divine energy realm extrudes the 12 archetypes delineated by the 40
characters. These extrusions have specific functions that are described and circuitized
by their names and Sigils. The four great primeval elemental forces are described by
their names; their function as the energy source for the elemental micro-chip like
Tablets is circuitized by their Sigils, which in turn derive from the patterns of their
names on the edge of the Sigil of Truth. Thus they are indeed "Watchmen" who self-
monitor the flow of elemental energy in truthful, or fractally coherent, patterns.

These patterns form the structure of the Elemental Tablets, which in turn form the
supporting architecture of the whole system. The Tablet of Union acts as a cohesive
force on the action of the elemental components, as shown by its 4, 5, 20 numerical
structure. The Sigil of Truth is the cohesive force acting on the planetary centers and
the chakras of the human body. This is demonstrated by its 7/5 embeddedness. Both
of these projective forces are extruded from the Divine at the same time and at the
same point, the edge of the Sigil of Truth, or rather, that quality of Divine/Archetypal
interface described as "Daath" or Knowledge by the Kabbalists. If we think of the
primeval elements as the Aleph, or the primary sequence of sub-atomic forces, and the
planetary forces as the Mem or mediating biological forces, then the unexpressed
name formed from the unused letters becomes both Shin and Tau, or spirit/matter.

The planetary forces are the focus of the Sigil of Truth's operations. It seems designed
to step down Atziluthic or Divine energy all the way to the boundary of the local
World of Action, or Assiah, where it can then interface with the Orb and the Module,
the ring and the Lamen.
The first step is to locate the highest forms of planetary action just inside the interface
barrier itself. On the Sigil of Truth this is done by placing the planetary Sigils, and
frequency codes, in the space between the circle and the heptagram, implying a space-
filling role for the archetypal planetary forces. The names of these beings are not used
directly; inside the heptagon, they will appear in an archangelic form. The heptagon
itself is formed from a 7 x 7 square filled with vertically read Hebrew planetary
Archangelic names. The seven squares on each side the heptagon is formed by a
horizontal reading of the Hebrew archangelic square. This creates a multi-leveled
embeddedness resembling a web composed of seven super-imposed heptagrams.

If we think of the planetary names extruded by the outer circle as being more divine
than archetypal, then the Unpronounceable Names of the Briatic Archangels are more
archangelic than divine. The first forms the outer surface of Atziluth, the second
forms the inner surface of Briah. Like the first planetary names, these archangels are
also space-filling in function, as depicted by their position as the space between the
heptagon and the heptagram. The archangelic names also create a 7 x 7 grid from
which the names on the inner heptagram, heptagons and central pentagram are
inscribed.
These angels are Yetsiratic in their function, that is they create a foundation from
which the Good or Light Angels of Assiah can operate. Their order of development,
Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury and the Moon, mirrors the planet's
superior, outside the orbit of the earth, or inferior, inside the earth's orbit, location
with the Sun acting appropriately as the focal point or nexus of the group. As befits a
foundational function, these Yetsiratic angels are both space defining and space-
filling.

The central angels follow the same order of development, but these angels spiral down
toward the central equal-armed cross. This motion brings the energy structure to the
outer edge of the Yetsiratic or foundational level, where it can be interfaced with the
planetary and elemental forces of the World of Action.
The Sigil also has a number of crosses. These are actual interface locations where the
World of Action can phase-lock with the foundational forces. Their number and
placement describes the interaction between the elements and the chakras. The total
number of crosses on the front of the Sigil is 130, which indicates, by gematria, the
resolution of unconscious processes through balance.

On the back of the Sigil are another cross and the four-letter Hebrew divine name for
Earth, AGLA. This serves to seal the Sigil off from any negative forces coming from
the earth itself.

E) The Elemental Tablets

The Elemental Tablets are four 12 x 13 grids joined by the mirror-like symmetry of
the 52 square Great Cross, which contains the Tablet of Union names and the 92nd
and 93rd Governors. Each of the four Tablets has the same structure: a sigil of the
Watchmen, a Divine Name of 3, 4, 5 letters, an eight letter solar archangelic name, six
seniors of seven letters, four calvary cross tree-of-life patterns, four kerubic angels
and 64 Servient squares. The Servient squares can be read to produce archangelic
names, angelic, arch-caco-demonic and caco-demonic names, creating an inclusive,
chaos to order and back again, recursion path.
Each square can be thought of as a dual cell of a hyper-cube, that is a square within a
square, or a truncated pyramid. This gives each square five qualities: the letter in the
central square, and the elemental, sephirotic or planetary attribution of each of the
four truncated sides of the cell. From this information, an Egyptian godform and a
Sphinx can be derived, so that we have five qualities and two attributes, seven in all,
for each square.

The sigil of the primeval Watchmen supplies the energy and is placed either above the
Tablet or on the back. This energy is then fed through a zodiacal processing grid.
Each element has three forms, cardinal, fixed, and mutable, symbolized by the 3, 4, 5
letter God Name that forms the symmetry or event horizon of each Tablet. From the
zodiacal, the energy moves to the solar plane with the phi-spiral based archangelic
name formed from the central eight letters on each Tablet.
This solar spiral also flows outward through the six names of seven letters called the
Seniors. Each name begins with the sun and then works through the planetary
attributions, moving the energy through system. The elemental sub-quadrants, earth of
earth, earth of fire, etc., are structured as the inner four cells of a hypercube where the
outer cells are formed from the four complete Tablets. (For instance, traveling east
from the Air Tablet would bring you to the Fire Tablet, while traveling west from the
Water Tablet returns you to Air. Within each Tablet, looking east from the water sub-
quadrant (upper right) you see the earth sub-quadrant, (lower left) while looking north
shows you the fire sub-quadrant, (lower right) and so on.)

Each elemental sub-quadrant is composed of a calvary cross tree-of-life support

structure, a kerubic column on which it rests and a quarter of a chess board floor
pattern. In 2D, this structure is a 5 x 6 grid, broken down into a six letter central
column and a five letter horizontal that forms the tree of life pattern; with a four letter
name above the horizontal line and 16 squares below.

In 3D, this micro-chip pattern inter-locks with the surface of the earth. The Fire Tablet
covers from latitude 80N to 80S and longitude 150E to 120W, the mid-Pacific, with
eastern Australia, New Zealand and part of Siberia and Alaska. Water Tablet: 80N to
80S, 120W to 30W, North and South America, Greenland and the Atlantic Ocean. Air
Tablet: 80N to 80S, 30W to 60E, Europe, Africa, Middle East, Russia. Earth Tablet:
80N to 80 S, 60E to 150E, India, Far East, etc. The Tablet of Union covers the central
axis of the planet and is the binding force holding the planet together just as it holds
the Tablets together.

F) The Tablet of Union

The Tablet of Union is formed from the 52 squares that join the four elemental tablets
into one large 25 x 27 square grid. Twenty of these squares are used to form the Great
Ophanic Seal known as the Tablet of Union. On the Great Cross itself, these twenty
characters are repeated twice in mirror symmetry fashion. This leaves 12 characters
for which we have no accurate attribution. On some of Dee's manuscript versions, we
can read the addition of P, A, R, A, O, A, N and 5 L's. Paraoan is formed from the
reversed letters on the Tablets themselves and is the 92nd Governor, ruling the interior
of the planet. The 5 L's, symbolic of the five Elements, contain the L, also shown in
reverse of the Tablets, used to energize the Tablet of Union names when used as the
Governors of the Abyss. The other four L's are a screen to cover the secret name of
the 93rd Governor, formed from the unused letters on the Sigil of Truth, which rules
the space from our atmosphere out to the orbit of the moon.
The twenty characters of the Tablet of Union Seal are arranged in a 5 x 4 grid. The
four horizontal names are the elemental control frequencies. The five vertical names
are the spiritual quality of the five elements. Together, they function as the twenty
faces of an icosahedron, or the vertices of a dodecahedron.

G) The Keys or Calls

Formed from the grids and squares of the Liber Logaeth, the Keys were given to Dee
and Kelly by the angel Nalvage. He first appeared on April 10, 1584 looking like a
young Elizabethan Sun-King, holding a golden rod and standing on a crystal etched
with his Round Tablet. The keys were slowly dictated, letter by letter, then translated
later. Great care was taken to ensure accuracy and understanding. Dee's translation is
an accurate rendition, although somewhat florid in style.

The Keys or Calls are arranged in three basic groups: the Elemental Keys, the
Aethyric Keys and the Key of Silence.

1) The Elemental Keys -- The first 18 Keys program the architecture of the
Elemental Tablets and the Tablet of Union. The first and second Keys activate the
Tablet of Union, although in different ways. The first Key opens the elemental
operations of the Tablets; the second Key opens the 30 Aethyrs. Keys 3 through 6
open the elemental forces, and the unmixed sub-quadrants; seven through 18 open the
other 12 mixed elemental sub-quadrants.

2) The Aethyric Keys -- This is actually the same Key repeated thirty times with the
change of one three letter word, the tittle of the Aethyr. The angel described these
levels as thirty concentric circles, from the closest, the 30th, to the most distant, the
1st. It is also useful to think of the Aethyrs as the edges of both a dodecahedron and
an icosahedron.

3) The Key of Silence -- The 49th Key is a non-vocal, non-local operation involving
the 93rd Governor and the Round Tablet of Navlage. The operation itself consists of
vibrating the name of the Governor mentally to activate the sphere of space around the
planet, then unfolding into that space the geometric structure of the Round Tablet. The
Call is silent, because only a telepathic push, as opposed to a physical or sonic push,
can open the communication channel.

H) The Round Tablet of Nalvage

With the Tablet of Nalvage, we come to the seventh and last of the Great Ophanic
Seals. Apparently, almost nothing was said about this Tablet in the Golden Dawn,
which is curious considering its key importance within the Ophanic system.

Dee was told that the Tablet represented the functional activity of the Trinity itself.
The substance of the tablet, milky quartz mother of pearl, was attributed to God the
Father. The circumference becomes God the Son, and the pattern or geometry of the
Tablet represents the Holy Spirit.

This means that The Tablet is the very binding force that holds the whole system of
angelic hierarchies in place. It accomplishes this task by raising the degree of
symmetry and coherence to an entirely new level.

The Tablet is composed of a six by six square, with four four-letter flaps. The flaps
form an analog of the Tablet of Union, as the four three by three squares form an
analog of the Elemental Tablets. Each corner of the 36 square grid contains the letters
IAD, which translates as God in Ophanic. This leaves 24 characters to describe God's
actions and qualities. The four 3 x 3 interior squares are then read horizontally to
produce 12 more divine beings who carry out God's actions. A vast theology is
concealed in these simple names and phrases, but that is far from our purpose here.

The structure of the Tablet is a 2D representation of the 24-cell 4D figure. This

geometric construct is internally self-referencing, that is turns itself in inside out and
remains the same, and consumes or embeds all of the 3D platonic solids as well as the
16-cell and the hyper-cube in 4D. This makes it the only master geometric structure
that unifies the process of dimensional information/energy exchange in an inclusive
and self-referencing matrix. The 24 non-IAD letters form the vertices of the figure;
the 24 names and phrases of each symmetry set form the 24 cells. All four symmetry
sets, or ways of reading the individual squares and the larger unitary grid, produce the
96 faces and edges of the 4D figure. Hyper-cubes and 16 cell figures can also be
formed from this highly coherent pattern of letters and names.

I) The Book of Knowledge, of Power, and of the Victorious Forces of Earth

The Book of Knowledge contains the 91 local planetary surface intelligences known
as the Governors of the Aethyrs or Ayres. If we think of the linear names formed from
the Elemental Tablets as the architectural structure of our spiritual computer, then it is
easy to see the Governors as the programs or operations that can be done within that
structure. Each Governor is defined by a name formed from an individual circuit path
or sigil on the Elemental Tablets.

These Sigils form the sub-structure of the Tablets, their unifying relationship. The
Governors have a dual aspect; they relate both to a locality or bio-region on the
surface of the planet and to the informational content of the Aethyr, each of which can
be seen as an organizational arrangement of the astral zones. It is this duality that
supplies a spirit of locality, or landscape angel, for each bio-region. Just as the
Governors are the interactive component of the Aethyr, so too are they the interactive
component of the Earth.

J) The Seven-Fold Mystery of the Good Angels of Light

Concerning the Good Angels of Light, the Archangel Michael told Dee:

"Now you touch the world; the Governors that work, rule under God; By whom you
may have power to work such things, as shall to God profit of your country and the
knowledge of his creatures." Then Michael continues, explaining to Dee that the
Angels work in the world of Assiah, our local reality, and that they are good angels
under God. He reveals a set of tablets and announces:

"Behold, these tables; herein by their names that work under God upon the earth; Not
of the wicked but the Angels of Light. The whole government doth consist in the
hands of the 49 whose names are here evident, excellent and glorious. Mark these
tables and record them. . . This is the first knowledge. Here you shall have wisdom."

If the Governors are large scale programs running on our spiritual computer, then the
Good Angels of Light are more like personal files or individualized software. The
names on the outer edge of the Holy Table are derived from one hierarchy or
symmetry set of the Angels of Light; they are ruled or programmed as a unit by the
lowest level of planetary Yetsiratic names on the Sigil of Truth. The Angels of Light
form a background grid of symmetry sets through which consciousness, as time,
moves. The Angelic hierarchy then becomes the literal structure of synchronicity, the
acausal connecting principle.

Little of this system remains in the Golden Dawn material, although we can see that it
was once deeply understood by Mathers and the other high-grade Adepts. "The
Particular Exordium" from the Z1 documents echoes the nature of the seven tables as
revealed by the Archangel Michael to Dr. Dee.

K) Summary of system and structure

The Ophanim delivered to Dr. Dee and Edward Kelly a complex system of magickal
science that is both inclusive and inter-dimensional. It seems to function as a
computer system, with hardware, software and programs to run, but one composed of
geometrical shapes and frequency matrices. It is impossible to go very far in
understanding the Ophanic material without coming to the conclusion that this is
proof of contact with a higher level of intelligence.

Basic symmetry set alignment and dimensional projection of geometric forms are
accomplished by the Hebrew language operations. The Hypercube, and its dual the
16-cell, become the basic building block of the entire structure. The combination of
Hebrew and Ophanic produce the dodecahedron of the Supreme Ritual of the
Pentagram. The faces of this dodecahedron become the twelve gates through which
the Elemental Tablets, the Aethyrs and the Governors are organized. The dodeca also
organizes the 7/5 spin imparted by the Sigil of Truth and the phi ratios of the Holy
Tablet. The Tablet of Union forms the icosahedron that contains, or unifies, the other
forms.
Without the geometric unification of the Tablet of Nalvage, the structure of the system
is incomplete. It will function on its own, storing and processing information,
performing operations and running programs, but without the 4D unification of the
24-cell, the Tablet, it cannot communicate with other such systems. Once this up-link
is achieved, then operations concerning the Governors or the Good Angels can be
directed from galactic central.
