“The Limitless Sea Collective”: A Group Adventure in Abundance!

"Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No one can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money, for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with. A person develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society is so organized that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things. Therefore, the basis of all advancement must be the science of getting rich. The object of all life is development, and everything that lives have an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining.
"A person’s right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical unfolding; or, in other words, his right to be rich. The purpose of nature is the advancement and unfolding of life, and everyone should have all that can contribute to the power, elegance, beauty, and richness of life."
- Wallace D. Wattles "The Science of Getting Rich"
For the past 18 months, I have been hearing a very similar lament from many of those I work with and give service to. This is due to the fact that almost all of us within the global community have been challenged financially. It seems that our lives, missions and vocations, especially Servants of the Light, Caregivers and Professionals with a Social Service Vocation have been held back by a difficulty in obtaining the resources (usually in the form of money) which we need. I am honored to tell you that this was only a "rough patch" and that we have passed through it.
It is easy to become overwhelmed and fearful in the face of the "facts" of our everyday life. The preceding two years, leading up to the elections of Nov. 2, have been an orgy of fear based thoughtforms and scarcity memes. This has left many of us with the belief that we are like leaves being blown by the winds of a storm. In our minds our economic conditions, our finances, and our life choices are all being curtailed.
Yet the fatalism of our times is only a meme. We have infected each other with it. We have conserved the infection in our institutions and our lives. It has gone from the realm of a "self-fulilling prophecy" to something Metaphysical. We have reached a point where the only solution is also a Metaphysical operation.
As a Working Wizard I get a regular stream of individuals seeking a Magickal intervention in the affairs of their lives. These desired interventions generally fall into a few categories. These are Health, Love, Justice, Guidance, Restoration of Loss, and the greatest of all: Wealth. No other concern is greater. In recent times I have received more requests for financial aid than all the others combined! A Wizard gets a very clear perception of conditions in the general population via the requests he receives for specific interventions. It is unmistakable that conditions are really dire.
Approximately 18 months ago I decided to take action. I realized that the sheer volume of financial need and its continually-increasing rate meant that a "retail" solution just wouldn't work. So I expanded my investigation of potential curatives outside the Magickal disciplines.
In addition to my work as a Wizard, I have a "day job": I am a Business Mentor and Personal Coach. I have been trained by the Tony Robbins Organization in NLP, the Law Of Attraction by Michael Losier, The Science of Mind, Life Coaching, and Hypnosis by dozens of organizations and teachers. Every one of these has demonstrated benefits in the lives of millions of individuals. Unfortunately, none of these has been able, in its own right, to overcome the negative thoughtforms and scarcity memes of our culture.
Now, there is a cultural bias on both sides of the Magickal/Literal divide. Those people who live in a Magickal reality discount the "Mechanistic or Reductionist" worldview. Those who live in the Scientific/Analytic universe refuse to accept that there can be any process that cannot be redacted using the "Clockwork Universe" paradigm.
One of the most important lessons a Magus must master is that the truth (or what will work) is always near the center between two diametrically opposed ideas. The truth lives in the region of balance.
This region of balance is also where you encounter the "Aha" moment! My first "Aha" was the realization that a Mechanistic structure could be coupled with Magickal Transformation. I could use Magickal Principles to evolve a device for the Manifestation of Abundance.
At the core of this design strategy, I had first to decide upon the Magickal Philosophy which would be the Paradigm within which I would create the processes and mechanisms. As in most things, "you go with what you know." My principle orientation is Hermetic. I have spent most of my life and career as a Magus within the Discipline of the Hermetic Principles. With few exceptions, I construct all of my Magickal Effects upon a framework of the 7 Hermetic Principles.
Having made this decision, I set forth the Intention for an Outcome, much in the way that you would first create a thesis statement. My Intention for an Outcome was based upon a question: "How can the maximum number of individuals dependably manifest Abundance?" As with all questions, the answer lies in the structure of the query. This meant that the solution had to be something which a multitude could do together.
Being a Ceremonial (Ritual) based Magus my first thought was another question: "What sort of Ritual or other Device/Process could be used?" As I reviewed the different types of rituals and spells at my disposal I was struck with another issue: coordination of the participants.
The difficulty was that spells and rituals are restricted by the structure within which they are set. If I brought a group of individuals together for a powerful ritual or setting of a powerful spell, the very nature of either one would exclude anyone who wasn?t part of the initial originating Magickal Act. Hmmm...
Of course this lead to the next obvious question: "What sort of Magickal Operation could I use which would remain in constant operation and allow individuals to participate and receive benefit who were not part of the original Act?"
Create a durable self-sustaining Construct which once activated would allow a continuing flow of new participants to attach to it!
And then came the "Aha" moment!
Having a "why" and a "what," I was focused on a "how." As I had previously mentioned, I am an Hermeticist. The first Hermetic Principle is "Mentalism; all that is exists as a Thoughtform!" So the first task was to establish a Thoughtform that could be shared by an unlimited number of "stakeholders." This would be a powerful but simple Meme.
To craft this Meme I returned to a corollary of the teachings of Master W. D. Wattles: "DON'T TRY TO ACHIEVE ABUNDANCE ALONE!!!" In truth, whether it is through Visualization, Affirmation, Meditation, Prayer, or any other practice, a Collective will succeed where an individual will fail. That truth was the Principle under which we created the Limitless Sea Collective. From this axiom I created the Meme: "Endless good now comes to me and through me, in endless ways."
This Meme was multi-tasked and bears multiple layers of meaning. It underlies the structure of the Construct, it acts as a barrier against misaligned energies, it sets the recirculating flow of energies throughout the Collective, and it aligns with a Divine Intention.
Holding the Meme in my consciousness I began the journey "upward" to the Spiritual Plane and used it to perceive the Divine Intention with which it was in Harmonic Resonance. In a timeless state I began to "experience" the Vibrations rising and creating ever-increasing resonances. I absorbed this resonance as a template and returned to the Physical Plane.
This began the formative stage of the Manifestation of the Limitless Sea Collective. This was truly a manifestation of the second Hermetic Principle: Correspondence. I had entered into the realization process connected to the Principles corollary: "As above so below, as below so above. As within so without, as without, so within."
I had reached a place where the template was unfolding a design protocol within my mind, coming down to me from above. As I accepted the design within myself, I became able to externalize it as a series of interconnected artifacts and processes.
It was at this time that I reached a cusp of transformation. I had come to the point where my skills required a complementary but distinctly different set of skills to bring the process forward. I had brought the Work downward through the third, fourth and fifth Hermetic Principles. I was now in the Place of the sixth Principle: Causation.
Causation is the stage of the formalization of processes. At this stage a Thoughtform has reached its transition into a "near reality." This is the point where in Physics the Theoretician requires the different skill set of the Applications Expert. This is where the working models have to be built.
I have been very fortunate (or a tool in the hand of a Higher Consciousness) to be brought into a collegial relationship with another highly skilled and extensively learned Magickian: Andrieh Vitimus.
I had met Andrieh in 2008 through his publicist at Llewellyn Worldwide in connection with the marketing of his seminal work on Magick, Hands on Chaos Magick. We began with a series of telephone conversations in preparation for his appearance on my weekly Internet Radio Program, “Ascending Way” on Blog Talk Radio. During these conversations I became not only impressed with the depth and range of his Magickal accomplishments and scholarship, but was helped by him to escape my prejudice against the label "Chaos Magick."
Being "Old School," an Hermeticist and Ceremonial Magus, I had been persuaded that the Chaos Magick Movement was simply made up of individuals who didn't want to take the time to master the more difficult aspects of Magickal Discipline. I had read Spare, Carroll, R.A. Wilson, Hine, and several others. However, my perception was that the movement was filled with "wannabes" living in their parents basements trying to invoke C'thullu. Andrieh gave me a new appreciation for the movement and was even able to show me instances in which I was in complete alignment with its theories and practices.
I approached him and we began to "jam" with each other, in the manner of two Jazz musicians. His perceptions influenced my theoretical construct and my theoretical construct provided a set of criteria and intentions for his Syncretic Magickal operations. It was as profitable a collaboration as J. Robert Oppenheimer and the various "practical" scientists like Fermi, Teller, Bohr and all the others on the Manhattan Project.
The step-by-step process which resulted will probably only be of interest to other Magi. In the final version of the Work we established a five stage process of preparation for the participants. This is based upon:
- Stage 1: establishing an initial access to the Intelligence of the Higher Planes.
- Stage 2: creating an inner template for the construction of a Personal Astral Temple, which contains a Portal to the Astral Temple Complex as well as the Constructs which will store the Vibrations of the Flow of Unlimited Abundance.
- Stage 3: soliciting the assistance of the Participants' Guides, Guardians, Ancestors, and Higher Self in the work of achieving Harmonium and Continuity with the Sustaining Love and Lifeforce emanating from the All in All.
- Stage 4: connecting the Intention of the Participants with the Divine Will of the All in All, to promote the Flow of Blessings to all that It has Emanated.
- Stage 5: erecting, activating, and synchronizing the Portal within the Participants' Personal Astral Temples to the "Receiving Station" within the Astral Temple Complex and receiving a Pathworking taking them through the Magick Mirror in whose construction they have been instructed, to the Receiving Station of the Astral Temple Complex.
At the conclusion of these preparatory steps the Participants will be able to bring themselves at will to the precincts of the Astral Temple Complex and be ready to "ride the Light Beam" into the Hall of Unlimited Abundance on the night of each month's Full Moon to participate in the Grand Conjuration of the Collective.
The specific experiences and processes of the Preparatory Period include a daily text reading, contemplation of a Coordinated Sigil, a daily Pathworking (Guided Meditation), a daily Mantra and the creation and activation of a Magick Mirror.
In this first period of the Collective's formation we have been blessed and honored to receive the support of a distinguished group of individuals who have completed this Work in a 5 day period during the period of the Waxing Moon Cycle of the month. This month, November 2010, will be the final cycle in which we will place this level of demand upon the participants. Beginning in December the Preparatory Process will be extended to 5 weeks. This will facilitate acquisition of the Alchemical Transformation by the Participants.
We will also be shifting from the Contribution model to a fee based program. If you are interested in joining us during the last accelerated cycle please contact us immediately by visiting our website and following the embedded link: www.ascensionhouse.org/13.html
Here are some of the comments made by our current Limitless Sea Collective brothers and sisters:
- "Thanks! I have felt changes in my life since I started. I have found the process very simple yet profound. I have noticed changes within me, I no longer worry about money or see it as limited. When I need something the money is there. My whole life is flowing with even more ease than before.
"I will say that this has affected more than money in my life. I have been connecting with people on a new level. I have also been channeling on a new level. Everything has expanded, including me. I look forward to whatever is next!"
- Barbara R. (Oklahoma)
- "Thank you! I have started and I'm working on Day 3 today. The guided meditations are great. The first day my connection to the All was powerful. I was enveloped with a pulsing purple light and the positive feeling of abundance has been with me since."
Thanks,
Shane (Toronto)
- "Thank you :) I'm excited to be a part of this project! I think we all can use a hefty dose of Abundance and real Wealth right about now. :)
I will write something more formal after work tonight, but things have been good since the 23rd- I'm getting $740 an entire month before I expected it (which I can really use LOL) and an extra $300 I wasn't expecting at all. ;o) Also getting consistently the hours I wanted at work (looking at the schedules made after the 23). So yeah- off to a good start. :o)"
- Becky (Ohio)
- "Just thought I'd share my experience tonight with you. I got some 'inspiration' earlier to start drawing/painting (didn't have supplies-settled with a pen). Now, I've always been artistically inclined, however I've never had that 'passion' in awhile. I was excited about painting/drawing again, something I lost at about grades 7-8.
"I'm not sure of others' experience on manifestation, however it seems I've been getting a lot of discounts lately.
"Thank you for setting this up!"
- Zac (Toronto)
- "I have already been able to see the results from partaking in prep work for Limitless Sea Collective. Today I received news that my company has qualified for $15,000 grant. Also, I was surprised to receive commission check from work I completed over 2 months ago. I am excited to see continued abundant blessings from Limitless Sea Collective."
Thanks,
Scott P (NYC)
- "I am indeed honored to be included in this Collective and although am not the brightest bulb in the pack will pledge to complete all that I am able to do shining as brightly as I can. I have completed Day 1 and during the meditation I was taken back to a dream of 60 years ago when I traveled up through 'MY' beam of light back to Source.
"There I observed 2 beings in white who acknowledged my presence and telepathically spoke to each other. I could hear in my mind one say 'How did she find her way back here?' The other gave the 'I don't know' look. The first one told me very gently that I couldn't stay. That I had go back because I had something to do but could stay for awhile and look at the Earth. I watched from a cloud and awoke in my bed. What a lovely feeling to connect back there. Thank you so much for including me."

constructive criticism
I must admit I admire your magickal construct.
However I don't know if it is responsible or how I would profit from giving so much of my energy, and money, to the fulfillment of your Ritual. Nevertheless, I suggest you abandon your use of testimonials: it strongly associates with televangelism.
Good luck.
Thank you for your comments
Thank you for your comments and for taking the time to read about the Limitless Sea Collective. I certainly must apologize if the article, and attached testimonials have a scent of "televangelism." That was not my intent. I had hoped to make the opportunity to participate in manifesting Group Abundance accessible to as many people as possible, so I included the words of a diverse sampling of the membership of this group.
Say whatever you will about the uses that Evangelical Christians put their resources to; they are masterful at using an Egregore based upon a collective identity to manifest energy in the form of wealth. To manifest energy in the form of wealth, on the part and intentions of a Spiritual Community possessing an open minded holistic philosophy is the motive for the formation of this Collective.
I take it as an article of faith that once we in the Lightworker, Healer, Mystical, Magickal, Free Thinking communities have access to increased Abundance; we will have a mighty instrumentality to pursue our purposes in alignment with our Divine Life Missions.
The most difficult task we face is to resist the urge to "pigeonhole" our efforts in a restricted organizational mindset. The central motive of the LSC, is to empower and enrich all of its constituent stakeholders, and through them all the lives they touch. We have taken great care to make the Construct at the core of the Collective highly selective and capable of rejecting those who approach it in a purely self-serving mindset. It won't work for you if all you seek is money to gratify your ego. It will exceed your wildest imaginings in resonance with your intention to be a vessel for blessings to be shared among all.
I invite you to join us an see for yourself.

some cynical thoughts
Contributing to... What, exactly?
I used to believe that increasing one’s monetary wealth was like going to the ocean with a bucket instead of a thimble—It makes no difference to the ocean how much water you take. But now I realize that it is likely that the ocean will eventually be drained—turning all of the Earth’s resources into electronic one’s and zero’s. It sounds like madness to me now.
I've also realized that greed is the insatiable need of a person to compensate for their fear of death. I would rather contribute to the sustainability of my environment my dieing in poverty than contribute to its demise by increasing my personal wealth.
Wealth
Blessings Flowing Through the Collective
We live in a time of great material abundance. However; the vast multitude of humanity is left outside the access to this abundance. Those of us who have access to this abundance, albeit limited access, often use concepts such as "flow" without understanding the dynamic within that flow. One of the foundational precepts of the Limitless Sea Collective is the "Flow of Blessings." Moreover, the underlying paradigm of the LSC is that of "Group Abundance," which is effected by the intention to keep Abundance in movement from person to person.
We "collectivize" our energies. We pool our desire and intention and just as the waters of a dam can create sufficient pressure to turn a turbine and thereby generate electricity, we "morp causality" to manifest our chosen reality; Collective Abundance!
This is not about the individual living a narcissistic life of excess. At it's core is the intention to have more to be able to share more. Each of our Collective's members are dedicated to this principle. This is why we were so selective about whom we invited to form the nucleus of the LSC. Each of the founding members was of a high caliber and steadfast intention. They have created a powerful Egregore and the Collective has taken on it's attributes.
Truly I believe that those individuals who can make an alignment to the Collective under these conditions will be drawn to it. I also believe that those who cannot, won't be able to see our paradigms of 'flowing blessings' and 'dedication to the improvement of the human condition.'

????
What the ???? is this? money is nothing and this is obviously foolery. wealth is not "money" wealth is...well, whatever you choose to put value on and i guess you can put value on money, but i don't see why when it's not even going to be here much longer and since the idea came from something akin to the depths of hell it's going to go back there. it would be better to manifest lots of...oh say LOVE in your life or food to share with people or how about manifesting lots of people in your life to have lots of fun with? those are all much better ideas than manifesting money, i mean, you may as well just manifest lots of toilet paper instead cuz that's what those dollars are going to be worth soon. Ha! it'll be like reverse alchemy, turning worthless gold back into...you know what.
And chaos magic? i know a girl who does chaos magic and she learned it through a cult who was using Aliester Crowley's ideas as a foundation and as far as i know that cat ain't a good cat to play with, in fact, he's the worst cat there is and in fact, he ain't even a cat! he's a slimely yucky thing that likes to ruin lives though secret societies and rituals so perhaps stay away from this kiddies, money is an illusion. Unless you want to manifest a bunch and give it away to people who can really use it that is, but if you want to manifest it and keep it for yourself then i'd think twice cuz that is a lot of energy spent on literally nothing. MONEY IS AN ILLUSION. However, it is here and in the time we have left the illusion can be used as a tool for eiither good or evil, as it always could be, so... go ahead and manifest all the money you want, but...are you going to keep it for yourself or give it away for the good of all? Kisses and Sweet dweams. In Lak'ech Ala K'in
This is about all abundance, not just money
abundance is natural; nature is abundant
To help clarify what this collective is about, I would like to chime in about my experience. I am by no means a magical adept, i'm a newbie, curious and open to the good and true. I had been fond of Frater Phaeron's podcast for the 2 years prior to this magical construct for abundance. So far this construct has given me a focus on gratitude, connection to spirit, and astral plane experience. I have had some amazingly timed synchronicities with this work, not only for money but for ideas and employment. Phaeron is very generous with preacher-like enouraging speach and support. He also has amazing practical knowledge, as does the other magician involved with this, Andrieh Vitimus.
I personally have not consistently attracted abundance--In my 20s I got by believing in my ideas, and most times just enough money came in, but sometimes not--occasionally the money was good. Ive always been dedicated to creating and making abundance that is for the greater good (working for nonprofits and spending money consciously). Now that im in my 30s I want the ease of attracting money and abundance- the foundation to lead a fulfilling life by being able to support my ideas/ideals. This seems doable in New York City, where a ton of money is floating around.
I believe a holistic spirituality that isn't grounded in the reality- the physical realm on the earth plane- isn't really helpful. The conscious spiritual path is the effort to elevate the physical for future generations, as well as connect with one's souls/higher selves. My own healing journey has been about being connecting to spirit as well as to earth--what Antero Alli calls Verticality. I have learned practical grounding tools from Kiana Love (Be Wild Woman), healing old pains and returning to the way I felt when I was younger- worthy enough to help myself and achieve my goals.
Yes, the American dollar has dropped in value, the fed is busted, and the economy is undergoing drastic changes which require a new agility and foresight to create a new physical world more spirit aligned. (I have learned much the big changes from Michele Meiche and her podcast Awakenings). 2012- Time for Change does a nice, simple job of explaining the connection to spirit and real world change.
Many are being called to be part of the structural changes by creating a more sustainable/natural/soul aligned environment and community, and we still need a form of currency for the unforeseeable future. If one believes 2012 is going to involve a complete breakdown of society, I think one needs to ask themselves why they are counting on bone chilling destruction instead of millions of Big Beautiful creative awakenings and the challenging, birth-pangs of the embodied work of change.
With awe-ful gratitude and joyful curiosity,
abl

Living in that Synchronicity
Wow, what a great Captcha. The Universe's sense of humor has always been one of my greatestst soucrces of entertainment. This is especially true when I look into the Laughter Machine (mirror).
The answer to the question; "But how much gold will you give me for the Secret of Infinite Riches?" should be nothing. The information is free to anyone who approaches the Infinite Living Mind with an open heart, dedicated to service to all. Of course the response may have to come along a toll road.
Since you are obviously reading these words online, you are already involved in numerous exchanges of energy in the form of money. First you have to pay for a physical location in which to spend the time it takes to read and respond. This includes the cost of energy for illumination and heating (or cooling). Next you have to make an exchange for the device on which you are communicating. Then there is the cost of the Internet Connection. Finally there is the intrinsic value of your time you spend in this communication.
These 'surface' costs also have underpinning costs, or fixed expenses. The time of all the support personnel involved, the cost of the education of all the individuals involved, the costs of the various mangerial, educational, and operational personnel involved are part of these fixed expenses. These may be miniscule amounts, but cumulatively they become massive.
This is all included in the Flow of Blessings, within the sphere of economic activities. PEOPLE HAVE TO GET PAID! I can't expect an individual to spend years of his time in hard work and study, in order to become a network administrator to do so without being compensated. Why should his children have to go without shoes or food, because he is engaged in an activity for the public good? This is obvious in the case of the Medical Profession. Who would spend the time (in years) it takes to become a MD if there were no reward beyond knowing that he/she was doing good for others.
I have been in service as a Magus for a long time. On more than one occassion I have offered the owner of local food retail operations a barter; Magickally I will preserve their perishables in exchange for food and other retail items. They still want cash. So does the electric and natural gas supply companies. So does the bank, the car insurance agency, my dentist, etc. And I consider it to be fair that they do. I don't expect their kids to have to miss the school trip to see the Cherry Blossoms in DC in the spring, because their parent is only working pro bono.
Wallace D. Wattles said in The Science of Getting Rich, "The normal desire for increased wealth is not an evil or a reprehensible thing. It is simply the desire for more abundant life. It is aspiration. And because it is the deepest instinct of their natures, all men and women are attracted to those who can give them more of the means of life. ......You are a creative centre from which increase is given off to all. Be sure of this, and convey assurance of the fact to every man, woman, and child with whom you come in contact."
We who have a desire for a holistic way of life and a hunger to see the needs of all met in full, have an responsibility to become rich! We have a responsibility to take control of the mechanisms of exchange. We have a responsibility to establish a sustainable and renewable way of life for all. We are obliged to create rather than compete and bring the blessings of abundance equally to al.
For us to reject these responsibilities, we become just as guilty and complicit in the destruction of the Earth as those who exist in a mindset of narcisistic gluttony.

GOLD BRICKS
Teach us Your secret, Master! yap my Yahoos.
Then for the hardness of their hearts, and for the
softness of their heads, I taught them Magick.
But...alas!
Teach us Your real secret, Master! how to become
invisible, how to acquire love, and oh! beyond all,
how to make gold.
But how much gold will you give me for the Secret
of Infinite Riches?
Then said the foremost and most foolish; Master, it
is nothing; but here is an hundred thousand
pounds.
This did I deign to accept, and whispered in his ear
this secret:
A SUCKER IS BORN EVERY MINUTE.
Deciphering 'Old Crow'
Whenever one makes an allusion to the corpus of the Work of Frater Perdurabo, it must be noted that his published material are all in a cipher. There are layers of information included in each passage. Some are for the Adept, some for the Mundane, and still others for the Illumined. In the segment you have quoted, it should be noted, that one the surface, it might (and to some does) read as an admonition to fools who pursue a Charlatan, thinking him to be a Master, demanding a formula for creating invisibility, love and the manufacture of gold. He proscribes "for the hardness of their hearts, and for thesoftness of their heads;" Magick.
Further, from the "foremost and most foolish" he accepts one hundred thousand pounds of gold. That's 50 tons of gold. A magnificent sum to be sure. Yet why would anyone possessing 50 tons of gold, seek even more riches? Of course in this as in all things, the question is the answer.
This parable, is of course itself a cipher. Thus the Master teaches the Postulant. In case you arent following, this lesson doesn't mean what it presents on the surface.
It doesn't apply to the LSC or anything other that the specific lesson FP was teaching. This is the problem of taking things out of context. FP, like all true Masters never taught Magick to the hard of heart or soft of head.
It might serve you to actually participate in activities you wish to comment upon. Participation forms a much stronger platform for commentary than does opinion without it.
W.C. Field also commented on suckers, "its a sin to let a sucker keep his money!" He wasn't couching his message in a cipher or metaphor. He came from the position of a Grifter. In either regard, those on the outside of a blessing or a curse, can't really tell which one it is.
