1. The Quadrijitu shows us that masculine becomes feminine, feminine becomes masculine, good becomes evil and evil becomes good.
2. The shape of the Quadrijitu reflects the Hermetic Principle of Correspondence.
3. As above, so below. As below, so above. As within, so without. As without, so within. As before, so after. As after, so before. As included, so excluded. As excluded, so included.
4. Every physical action has an equal and opposite reaction.
5. Every emotional action has an equal and opposite reaction.
6. Every mental action has an equal and opposite reaction.
7. Every spiritual action has an equal and opposite reaction.
8. Suffering inures the mind to suffering; joy inures the mind to joy.
9. Verticalisation inclines the mind to see the benefits of the horizontal; horizontalisation inclines the mind to see the benefits of the vertical.
10. When the Northern Hemisphere stands in the light, the Southern Hemisphere stands in the darkness. When the Southern Hemisphere stands in the light, the Northern Hemisphere stands in the darkness.
11. When the Occident stands in the light, the Orient stands in the darkness. When the Orient stands in the light, the Occident stands in the darkness.
12. When the soul stands in the light, the body stands in the darkness. When the body stands in the light, the soul stands in the darkness.
13. Consciousness exists at the intersection between the eternal past and the eternal future. Within it, all things are possible.
14. Energy flows where attention goes. To observe something is to make it more real.
15. To pay regard to any one aspect of life is to neglect all the others. Thus, appreciating one aspect of life primes oneself to appreciate the others in turn.
16. The gods are bored by the excessively good, and wish evil upon it.
17. The sum total of all positive values and all negative values is zero.
18. The sum total of one entire rotation around the Quadrijitu is zero.

1. The great and the learned have long debated how life began on this planet.
2. One popular theory is that life sparked into being when lightning struck a pool of water containing the right chemicals.
3. Another popular theory is that life came to Earth from elsewhere in the galaxy, perhaps on a comet or fragment of planet that exploded, and upon seeding the Earth began to evolve.
4. Yet another popular theory is that a god outside of the physical world created it for various reasons, willing life into being and then abandoning it to run its natural course.
5. The Elementalist, knowing consciousness to be the prima materia, laughs upon hearing all such nonsense.
6. There is no such thing as life; there is consciousness and the contents of consciousness.
7. The various fragments of consciousness incarnate into this world as the various creatures.
8. When these fragments of consciousness perceive each other’s physical forms through the sensory organs of their incarnations, it appears as if the physical world is the prima materia and that life has appeared on it.
9. The Elementalist knows this to be the Prime Illusion.
10. The physical world is a hallucination that is maintained by consciousness observing it.
11. The greater the number of fragments of consciousness that perceive any one part of the physical world, the more intensely real that part appears.
12. The apparent beginning of life on Earth, in proto-bacterial form, is illusory, as there is no such thing as time.
13. Life as a proto-bacteria, as with all other lives, is merely another set of perceptions that can be experienced by consciousness.
14. Life is precious because it is an incarnation of the divine.
15. All living things are incarnations of the divine experiencing the Great Fractal. Therefore, to cause suffering to life is to go against the will of the divine.
16. It’s not a crime to cause suffering to life if this should entertain the gods.
17. Few things appall the gods more than mindlessly causing suffering to life.
18. Each fragment of consciousness descends from a higher dimension into this physical world, and therein incarnates into a body. So begins each and every life.
19. Each of these bodies is fundamentally a vibration that resolves as different proportions of fire, air, water and earth, and from there to the infinite forms.
20. The fragment of consciousness ensouling each of these bodies is fundamentally a frequency that resolves as different proportions of clay, iron, silver and gold, and from there to the infinite forms.
21. The combination of vibrations of fire, air, water and earth and frequencies of clay, iron, silver and gold produce all the expressions of life on this planet.
22. Every form of life that could ever possibly exist exists within the Great Fractal, and always has, and always will.

This chapter is an excerpt from Elemental Elementalism, the foundational scripture of the new religion of the Age of Aquarius.
The pharmaceutical machine is turning its attention to psychedelics. Having finally milked dry the antipsychotic and antidepressant market, Big Pharma has sniffed out new profit potential in using psychedelics to alleviate mental illnesses. This new paradigm brings the potential for great benefits if we get it right, but also great risks if we get it wrong.
All of this research, however, is currently just data points, with no unifying theory to explain it.
Researchers understand that psychedelics can alleviate the suffering associated with several conditions, but they don’t understand why, or how to maximise the benefits of these mysterious substances. The danger is that they will never come to understand, because their science is based on erroneous assumptions about the nature of reality, and these erroneous assumptions prevent them from seeing reality accurately.
The vast majority of researchers in the field of psychology are materialists who believe that the brain generates consciousness, and therefore that all of the contents of consciousness are simply brain states. This is, in fact, the great delusion of psychology as it is currently practiced. The delusion is so prevalent that it’s rare to ever hear a psychologist challenge it. Anyone who does is usually shunned.
This materialist paradigm is assumed without any hesitation or doubt. One consequence is that all psychedelic phenomena are explained in materialist terms. Some researchers define a psychedelic as a high dose of a hallucinogen. Others group psychedelics based on which receptor sites they operate on. Inevitably, the psychedelic experience is explained (but only ever conjecturally) by a change in brain state.
The end result of the assumption that all suffering is caused by chemical imbalances: psychiatry has been reduced to dishing out pharmaceuticals. This is why modern psychiatry is next to useless (although it is true that a great many acutely psychotic people can benefit from being administered a sedative for a while). In this context, psychedelic sacraments have shown great promise, as a medicine that need only be administered once, and with a minimum of physical side-effects.
But in order for them to be properly understood, and therein properly utilised, psychological science will first have to outgrow materialism.
The fact is that psychedelics don’t alleviate suffering by altering brain chemistry or brain structure (at least not primarily). They primarily alleviate suffering by destroying spiritual illusions and delusions. The word ‘psychedelic’ means ‘soul-revealing’, and it’s precisely this quality that enables psychedelics to have their therapeutic effect. They reveal – in Aldous Huxley’s words – the fundamental all-rightness of the Universe.
In Western society, a great deal of suffering has resulted from the adoption of certain false metaphysical beliefs. The three most prominent false spiritual beliefs are: this physical world is all there is; the brain generates consciousness; there’s nothing divine about either this physical world or consciousness. All three of these beliefs are harmful, but the second one is particularly so.
If a person truly believes that the brain generates consciousness, then it inevitably follows that consciousness ends with the death of the brain. Because the death of the brain is inevitable, from there it follows that all experiences and memories of experiences are meaningless, because these are dependent on the brain and will disappear with brain death. Because nothing continues beyond the death of the physical body, there’s no overall purpose or goal to life here. It’s all just one bizarre fluke.
What remains to be commonly accepted is that this attitude leads to colossal amounts of misery, hopelessness and despair – and it’s not even correct.
If a patient comes to a psychiatrist in a state of existential despair induced by the apparent meaninglessness of life, the psychiatrist can do little other than commiserate on a human level (and perhaps dish out some pharmaceuticals). They cannot assure the patient that consciousness survives the death of the physical body and therefore that life actually is meaningful, because the vast majority of the time psychiatrists are materialist atheists. Christianity can’t fill the gap because no-one really believes it.
The uselessness of psychiatry, as it is practiced today, is why so many people take drugs.
Many addictions are fuelled by despair at the apparent meaninglessness of life. To get forced into existence as a mortal creature, doomed to suffer old age and death for no apparent reason, seems like a kind of torture. Many find this torture so excruciating that they decide it’s worth numbing the pain with alcohol or heroin. Others fill the gap with sex, power, social status or any of the other ape instincts that can substitute for a meaningful life.
Pharmaceuticals don’t help here. They can numb and stupify, and they can prevent the extreme agitation that often leads to fatal consequences, but they don’t alleviate any spiritual suffering. They don’t free people from fear of death. They don’t help people find any meaning in life.
Psychedelics liberate people from this spiritual suffering. They blast away the delusion that consciousness is trapped in the brain and doomed to die with the body. They reveal an entirely new world: one of meaning, purpose and fundamental all-rightness. This explains why there is a correlation between feeling mystic experiences on a trip and the therapeutical efficacy of that trip.
In other words, the more a trip helps a person to see beyond, the more suffering that trip will alleviate in that person. This is because so much psychiatric suffering is ultimately caused, not by material causes, but by spiritual illusions and delusions. The therapeutic effects of psychedelics lie primarily in their ability to dispel these illusions and delusions, and not until this is understood can the benefits of psychedelics be fully realised.
1. The Holy Affirmation of Elementalism is “Never Have I Existed Not”.
2. The most important difference between an Elementalist and a Normie, a Tard or a Ham is that the Elementalist understands the First Tenet.
3. The second most important difference between an Elementalist and a Normie, a Tard or a Ham is that the Elementalist understands the Fourth Tenet.
4. Many who come to realise the wonderful and world-shattering truths of Elementalism desire to make a clean break with their previous life as a Normie. This can be achieved with a ritual self-initiation into the Elemental Mysteries.
5. Self-initiation as an Elementalist involves an extreme act of Will that severs ones connection with ignorance.
6. This severance should be so complete and so total that one should never again despair at the rising and falling of physical forms – unless that would entertain the gods!
7. Initiation into the Elemental Mysteries is a metaphor for consciousness overcoming the Prime Illusion and the Prime Delusion.
8. The initiated Elementalist understands that consciousness is primary, eternal and infinite, and that the individual Elementalist’s fragment of consciousness is one of an infinite number of parts of an interdependent system created to entertain the gods.
9. Those initiated into the Elemental Mysteries constitute the spiritual royalty of the new age of the world.
10. Self-initiation must involve a philosophical death and rebirth. One must will oneself to abandon false conceptions of self and reality.
11. The Winter Solstice is an excellent time to self-initiate, as is the moment of sunrise.
12. Spiritual sacraments such as cannabis, psilocybin, mescaline, lysergic acid diethylamide and dimethyltryptamine are excellent tools of self-initiation.
13. One might self-initiate by waiting until the Winter Solstice, taking a powerful spiritual sacrament after midnight and then, when the Sun rises and the sacrament is peaking, inhaling deeply and stating resolutely, as if before the divine: “Never Have I Existed Not.”
14. The days after the Winter Solstice represent in metaphor the spirit overcoming the darkness. The sunrise is similar on a less grand scale. This makes either an excellent time to self-initiate.
15. Another way to self-initiate is to count to 1,024 on one’s fingers, and, with every count, repeat “Never Have I Existed Not”.
16. Post-initation, one feels an awesome sense of purpose, living to entertain the gods before any other consideration. This means that no amount of suffering or death can distract one from one’s true purpose!
17. The initiated Elementalist is The Light of the New Age of the World.
18. When Normies and Tards encounter an Elementalist, they are astonished by the rectitude and sense of purpose displayed.
19. When Hams encounter an Elementalist, they despair, for they intuit their own religious doctrines to be false.
