“To Become” or “ To
Evolve” or, “I Have Come Into Being”.
A Black Magician who strives and works towards becoming attuned to his/her own Higher Self, who strives and works to become his/her complete and absolute manifestation in the Universe. The spiritual Alchemist who, through the Black Work - the process of Self-directed Self-evolution - is transformed from a mortal into the essence of divinity. The primordial source for this refined consciousness is that which is known as the Prince of Darkness, whom is identified as the ancient Egyptian god Set.
Set was the ancient Egyptian Neter or god of winds, storms, chaos, war, disruption of the cosmic stasis, and the god of Darkness and of the Sky by Night.
In Egyptian mythology, Neter-khertet (“divine place underground”; also Khert Neter) referred to the underworld.
Set was originally honored and worshipped as a powerful Neter, whose kingdom was the majesty of the night sky, which he ruled from his Seat behind the Constellation of the Seven Stars or Ursa Major. Set is one of the most ancient and noble semblances of That which is also called Satan or the Devil, Prometheus, Beelzebub, Mephistopheles, etc. Its names and faces are many.
Set’s Name ultimately means the Isolator or Separator, to Set Apart, which also makes him a perfect Lord of the Left-Hand Path. As Set separated him Self from the laws of the Order of the Cosmos, so too have we who walk this path consciously rejected and have separated and liberated ourselves from socially established norms, the conventional, the traditional ebb and flow of society, popular culture and conventional religion and morality.
Xeper-I-Set
Xeper is an ancient Egyptian verb/noun (pronounced Khefr) written as a stylized scarab beetle, which in English roughly translates as “To Become” or “ To Evolve” or, “I Have Come Into Being”. We all have within ourselves our own individual hidden truths of higher being. The path and quest of Xeper is to uncover and to ultimately become the very embodiment, and most complete and supreme manifestation, of these truths.
“Xeper is the experience of an individual psyche becoming aware of its own existence and deciding to expand and evolve that existence through its own actions.” It is a dynamic spiritual transformation in one’s life, in which the horizons of the potentiality of one’s own being expands. It is the establishment of a new higher mode or state of existence. Xeper, like in Alchemy, is the transformation of the soul or psyche from a lower state or base element into that of a higher state or divine element.
Xeper leading to Remanifestation
Remanifestation is another essential aspect of the path of Xeper. After Xeper happens, after a higher state of existence has become established. It is through the continual exercise and application of the knowledge, powers, and abilities which we have attained thus far, to our continuing work, which enables us to uncover even deeper mysteries, develop stronger more refined abilities, and to establish new higher states of existence. Without Remanifestation, Xeper would only be a single event happening. Xeper and Remanifestation, in essence, is the food for the soul; we Come Into Being and continually feed and nurture that Being through the exercise of the re-energized Black Flame. This is the process of self-directed self-evolution.
