In the Egyptian hieroglyphs, stars, drawn like 5-legged
starfish rather than pentagrams, are a divinity symbol.
In 1907, Crowley's interest took off once again, with two important events. The
first was the creation of the Silver Star (A?A?)...
The object, naturally, was for students to devote themselves to the Great Work
of discovering and manifesting their True Wills.
Crowley was obsessed with mountain climbing, which he used as a tool to combat
his chronic asthma.
There are, of course, certain virtues necessary to the Magician; but they are of
the same order as those which make a successful chemist.[40]
The Star and the Garter. (1904).

I guess I lost the snippet about Kaduri said messiah would have a star of David
in his garment (been surfin him lost night. Got gobs of Zohar texts to read).
Amulets
Yankale Shamash, a musician and teacher of Jewish meditation, recalls having
approached Rabbi Kaduri in 1973 in the midst of a personal health crisis. 'He
blessed me,' says Yankale, 'and then he carved the names of several angels on an
apple and told me to eat it.' Kaduri's area of expertise included the
preparation of amulets for protection and healing divine or angelic names
written on parchment and sealed within a small box that could be hung on a wall
like a mezuzah or worn around the neck.

It was Kaduri who represented Kabbalah's new prominence and link to Israeli
power structures when, in 1996, he allowed the Shas party to mass produce
amulets bearing his signature to distribute to prospective Shas voters. Kaduri's
amulets are widely credited with boosting the Shas party from an expected six
Knesset seats to 10.

Across The Plains by R L Stevenson
What a monstrous spectre is this man, the disease of the
agglutinated dust, lifting alternate feet or lying drugged with
slumber; killing, feeding, growing, bringing forth small copies of
himself; grown upon with hair like grass, fitted with eyes that
move and glitter in his face; a thing to set children screaming;

Freighted beyond the ship
Should you wonder how his small individual spark will influence the totality of
Moshiach!? The answer is that when you deal with an essential unitary entity
(etzem), by taking hold of any part, you in effect grab the whole -- for all
parts are actually the essential unity. see E=MC2 exaJesus dissecting The
soul-level of "yechidah" houses the spark of actual G-dliness -- a ray of the
Creator. Thus, the "spark" of the created (the part of yechidah in each person)
is one with the "ray" of the Creator; in turn it is attached to the essence of
G-d. Now, when we realize that the yechidah level of every Jew is the ray of the
soul of Moshiach then every Jew has the ability through his small spark to have
some influence on the total Moshiach.

Lurking judgment
Disasters and Aliya 9/14/2005 | ] [ [ by: Rabbi Moshe Yess ] ] [ | BS"D From
1991 onwards (after the Rebbe's Proclamations) I have had a deep gut trembling
about several issues:- 1) The Goyim have 5 (going on 6) millenia of aveiras
(many against Jews) for which Din has not been processed into punishment in this
world. 2) While Avraham Aveenu prayed for Sodoim to be spared....we see that it
was not...and hence we can learn from this.... that Din must manifest in this
physical world...or else there is no applied Justice.
Rambam Laws of Kings 11:4 states that Moshiach will ingather the
Yidden. Let us not forget what happened to Ephraim who left Mitzrayim
prematurly. As for disasters of nature (that may occur anywhere) we have been
reassured that no Jew will be left behind in this unfolding Geula. And as with
the Plagues in Egypt....Hashem can punish the wicked while simultaneously
sparing the Yidden.

Dualistic
Remember the torah God comes from intense darkness darkness and light are the
same to me navi I raise my sword to heaven and I say I live forever. According
to ramchal tikkun 40 tikkunie chadashim mashiach ben david is the light of
chasidim in the shem 45 the right side mashiach ben yosef is 52 ben the left
side. This is awesome darkness no human can fathom except those who were
literally ripped apart for being jewish since bait hamikdash sheini by
rome-ishmael-edom -amalak.Ramchal says mashiach ben yosef in some way we dont
understand will connect to the shechina which is the first zohar the 13 petaled
red rose

I didn't quote it, but they say those worshipping Mosiach ben Josef will be
beheaded, which was a frequent fear during my mental illness. Could be the
bi-paternity suggested by the double sign sign in my right hand. My father's
middle name was Joseph. Thought to become a Catholic priest, ends a lawyer.
May be the kemetic (filial fellatio) vs. gnostic (autofellatio) angle again.
Ahura Mazda
Reminiscent of the supercritical control surfaces of a fighter jet,
which would tumble without its control computers, events of the last
few days have shown me that I can flip flop from the light to dark
side if I follow my own lusts, and not the prompting of the spirit.
Specifically:
1. "I might forgive you"
2. (self-directed tantra)
3. "You must stop sinning"
4. "Ask me questions"
5. "Ask me who to fuck next"
6. "<Name>, the son of."
And I think, how can She be a Son? And I realize he means "thee, Son of"
the seeming incompletness from leaving off the name the Jews never name.
Behold he who comes in his own name, to be "REVEALED" very soon The False
Simeon, the Prophet of the Dragon, satan that old serpent, is DEAD Ascent of
Safed - In The City of Kabbalah "After the Sharon government, the Moshiach will
come" -- so foresees the tzaddik, the G-dly Rabbi Yitzchok Kaduri,the renowned
Kabbalist of over 100 years ...

Monster optional
R. Saadiah Gaon (who lived approx 1000 years ago) notes that Moshiach ben Yosef
will not definitely appear before Moshiach ben David, nor will the activities
attributed to him or his death have to occur. In his explanation of "Nevuas
Hayeled", Harav Avraham ben Eliezer Halevi (who lived approx 500 years ago),
writes "if Israel does proper tshuva (repentence), they won't need Moshiach ben
Yosef, but rather Mosiach ben Dovid will come immediately."

Other monstrous news.
Slashdot and Cryptome report that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
is demanding the master key for the DNS root zone - a demand that has other
nations alarmed. With the master key, DHS would have control over the
Internet, as Slashdot describes, quoting an "anonymous reader."
The key will play an important role in the new DNSSec security extension,
because it will make spoofing IP-addresses impossible. By forcing the IANA
[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority] to hand out a copy of the master key, the
US government will be the only institution that is able to spoof IP addresses
and be able to break into computers connected to the Internet without much
effort.
