One must enter each stage of individual development
to reach towards the
continuing the great work. The black art is concerning the opening
and
exploration of the "shadows" of the subconscious, the awakening of
an atavism
through mastering the dark aspects. How does this become towards the
path of
Vampirism? Through these dark alchemical workings, the materials of
building the
individual towards Godhead, therefor becoming something beyond human
= the
predator and shadowlord. Balance is the key to this.
Tiamat is the manifestation of what is referred to
as vampiric blood, life,
strength and will. One of the main symbols of the BOTD is the Dragon.
Please
note that both Chronozon, Leviathan and Tiamat are of different energies
and
manifest in separate ways.
Tiamat represents the fire for life, vampiric blood
and the godlike
striving/evolving state of mind. Chronozon represents CHAOS (similar
to H.P.
Lovecraft's Azag-Thoth) and the storm of destruction and creation.
To invoke
Chronozon, become as one with you interpretation of it and call forth
the chaos.
Concentrate upon it and that manifestation within your mind.
To master it is to
explore the dark, often repressed points of the psyche. Leviathan
represents
the point or gate to the Abyss-the dark matter itself. To invoke Leviathan
is to
open all possibilities unto the self, to seek understanding of your
true will
and to embark upon that path. Suggested readings for a clear understanding
of
the topics are the following:
