The next task now confronting him is to grow, as it were, into this higher self, that is, really to regard it as his own true self and to act accordingly. He realizes ever more clearly and intensely that his physical body and what he hitherto called his “I” are merely the instruments of his higher self. He adopts an attitude toward his lower self such as a person limited to the world of the senses adopts toward some instrument or vehicle that serves him.

Aion 131's Liber Phoenix from Waning Moon Publications

“Liber Phoenix, a Pan-Aeonic Sigil Grimoire, is the end result of an extended Magickal working known as the Knowledge & Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel, being a constant adoration of the Higher Self perceived as a separate Entity by the Adept. Liber Phoenix is not about what was done or why, it is a series of invocations, and active sigils that poured through as Union occurred.

Liber Phoenix is the transformational distillation of the intense and sometimes horrific process of the destruction of persona-reality in the pyre of the ego-dissolution and the rebirth of Something New. The initiatory mutation of consciousness was manifested herein by the invocation alchemy of particular masks, attributes and facets of the archetypal Atman, Self, or Star of being that in totality is called here the ‘Phoenix.’ Phoenix has the gematria value of 300; Shin, the triple tongued Fire of the renewal of the universe in the fire of this New Aeon. This grimoire is one small flame in this global renewal.

In this grimoire, Words of Power and such are encoded in IO Script, a dreamtime oracle alphabet given in this process for this purpose. The key is encoded in Liber IO at the end, and thus all the Words in this grimoire can be easily ‘translated’ by the reader, though the real meaning may be less than clear. Taking transcendent concepts, as embodied in these verses and images from the dreamtime/spirit place, into this world manifests as ‘twilight language’ that speaks to the Other; May it speak to you in an aetheric whisper that lights a phoenix flame in your heart.” [via]

Psychosynthesis from Problems on the Path of Return by Mark Stavish, M.A. in Vol 3 No 1 of Caduceus.

“Then there is the Self, or Higher Self (Tiphareth), which we seek to express in and through the little self, and in the functions of the various levels of our unconsciousness. These levels are designated as unconscious for the obvious reason that they exist and function within our psyche regardless of whether we are aware of them or not. We only become conscious of the effect they have in our lives when we seek to break through the layers of external conditioning that have been used as reference points for our sense of being.” [via]

Egyptian Magic in Egyptian Magic by Florence Farr.

“When this takes place, and the body, sealed by destiny, is made subject, by initiation, to the Divine Powers, it may well be symbolised by the KA supporting the BAIE on the portal of initiation. The Lower Self being sacrificed to the Higher Self.” [via]
