The Restoration of Eulis: Passing thoughts on Paschal Beverly Randolph

This past weekend I decided to visit the birth site of one of my greatest occult influences: author, Paschal Beverly Randolph.  As I stood across the street from 70 Canal Street, in what is now China Town in Manhattan taking pictures, I found myself imagining what the neighborhood looked like back in the early 1800s before the nearby Manhattan bridge was constructed. I had been planning on visiting Paschal’s birth site for a few years, but I did not actually do it until Saturday.

Sex Magic—which is arguably the most important element in the practical application of the spiritual sciences—has been exoterically suppressed by the three major Western religions which profess that bland sexual conservatism is the only true path to spiritual growth and eternal salvation. Fortunately, African American writer and occultist Paschal Beverly Randolph (October 8th 1825 – July 25th 1875) brought some semblance of sanity to the shores of North America when he taught the science of sex among many other disciplines which he is not as recognized for.

Although born in New York City at a time when most African Americans were still prisoners of war, Randolph had an opportunity to travel to Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia to learn more about the arcane sciences. Randolph has been identified by biographers as a friend of Abraham Lincoln and is credited for bringing the Rosicrucian Order to the U.S.  I was initially exposed to Randolph and his teachings when I read The Stargate Conspiracy: The Truth about Extraterrestrial Life and the Mysteries of Ancient Egypt, many years ago. Since then, I have found him to be a source of great inspiration.

While his successors Aleister Crowley and Helena P. Blavatsky are FAR more recognized for their so-called teachings on Sex Magic, a basic overview of Randolph’s work would reveal that they culled just about everything they knew on the subject from him. Crowley event went so far as to bite Paschal’s slang by consistently using words like “Aethyr” which was a lousy attempt to mask his use of the Paschal’s use of the word “Aether.”

Randolph said in his book After Death: The Disembodiment of Man (1868) that the Judeo-Christian account concerning the origin of the first true man on earth was a pile of bullshit. Instead he taught that the original man “is spiritual, and like God, had no conceivable beginning.”  Mind you Randolph said this more than a half a century before another Libran, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, uttered similar sentiments.

Many of us living in the age of technology don’t realize how fortunate we are to have quality information at our fingertips that better men and women who came before us had to struggle and fight for. The easy access and availability has assassinated humility and bread a high level of arrogance (which is really naive confidence) among many students. Some students of the occult tradition today are actually foolish enough to think that just because they know all of the literary sources that a teacher of the life sciences has used to develop their thesis on a particular subject that they now have the privilege of knowing everything that the teacher knows as it pertains to that subject. This is delusional thinking.

I say this because all books pertaining to the life sciences, are at best, EXTERNAL tools that can only be used to their fullest potential by those who already have an INTERNAL frame of reference for the subject matter that they are reading about. Since your internal frame of reference is based on your unique personal experiences—or lack thereof—then it should come as no surprise that no two people can share the same frame of reference because they do not share the same exact personal experiences.

For those of you who cannot personally relate to what I am saying here, there is really no further explanation that I can give you that would suffice. For those who do understand and personally relate to what I’m saying, no further explanation is needed. The truth is familiar to those who have had prior encounters with it.

Bringing diverse pieces of dead information together to bring a REASONABLE and COHERENT idea to life is an art that few have bothered to learn, and even fewer have dared to master, because they don’t have the patience necessary to do it. They would rather be seen and heard in the spotlight, than take their precious time to study, practice, and gain experience in what they’ve learned in the anonymity of  the shadows.

You will only recognize and appreciate a teacher of Randolph's caliber with authentic vision, dedication, and intellect once YOU make the transition from being a superficial dabbler in dead facts to being a dedicated student of pure wisdom. The former ONLY parrots what popular intellectual celebrities have already said numerous times, all while pretending that it’s completely new information.

The latter gives credit to pioneers as well as up and coming teachers, who may not even be under their personal tutelage, when credit is due. They are not insecure and afraid that other teachers will steal their audience. This is not because they doubt the other teachers' talent, but because they are confident in the originality and authenticity of THEIR own message. Openly acknowledging the genius of others does not detract from your own greatness. It only confirms it. This inescapable truth will emerge from the burning abyss of self-discovery once we become great ourselves.

It’s painfully ironic how Randolph, a prolific author and gifted spiritual scientist, born in the month of the Scales of Ma’at could have offered so much to the advancement of human understanding, yet such injustice is done to his legacy. Like Bob Marley said in his song “Misty Mourning,” “you give your more to receive your less.” Pay homage to a master who has been forgotten by so many. Long live Paschal Beverly Randolph!

AA Rashid Presents: The Power of the Word

According to Men Nefer (Memphite) cosmology Tehuti, the Kemetic god of wisdom, writing, and articulate speech is the mouthpiece of Ptah, who is the grand architect of the universe and father of the gods. All writers utilize the alphabet of their respective languages to tell stories and convey ideas. The word “alphabet,” literally means the first (alpha) house (beta), which is essentially the red house if we are looking at the visible light spectrum as a color-coded mansion for stratified photonic intelligence.

Once a writer, or any practitioner of verbal communication, masters how to build The First House they can construct entire neighborhoods, cities, nations, worlds, and universes of “thought/Thoth.” Good writing is good architecture, and every writer is a mason who uses the letters of his alphabet as the building blocks for his own reality. Depending on the writer’s level of ability, their reality can become yours.

But wouldn’t you rather see the idealized visions in your own head become an inescapable reality shared by others? Wouldn’t you like to see your personal ideals, which you often ponder in your own private moments, reflected back to you in the everyday world in which you live? You can begin to embark on the journey that will enable you to become the grand architect of your own reality starting today. A.A. Rashid’s latest video presentation, The Power of the Word, offers unique and indispensable insight into the mystery of words and how they ultimately shape human perception.

Rashid is a longtime student and practitioner of the Hebrew Kabbalah who has presented some impressive lectures over the last seven years. His titles include, but are not limited to, “Fear of A Black Illuminati,” “The Cube of Space: The Moorish influence on Qabalah and Freemasonry,” “The Mathematic & Magical Manipulation of Destiny,” and “Fingerprints of the Gods: Languages Lost in the Sands of Time.”

Alongside Brother Oba—who is a third generation practitioner of the West African life science known as Luccumi—Rashid opens his mental jewelry box and shares some rare gems with those who have an open eye to see them.

“What exactly is offered in mysticism—whether it is Jewish mysticism, which is called Kabbalah, Islamic mysticism, which is called Sufism, or Christian mysticism, in the form of Gnosticism?” Rashid rhetorically asks his audience at the Anthroposophical Society in New York City. “The crucial component lodged in all of them is that one must have the ability to convey meaning. If you are sick, and you have a disease then the only thing that can cure you of your disease is an understanding of language and communication, do you understand? [The presence of] a disease means that there is no communication between one area of your body and another because there is a blockage.”

Further explanation is given with regard to how emotional blockages in people prevent safe and effective communication. This unique presentation is only built for Cuban link kings and queens who can tap into the genetic bonds that bind them to the legacy of a golden past and an even more illustrious future.

“The universe is chaos,” says Oba. “It’s all chaos. The probabilities are like shooting dice. Anything can happen. The science comes into play when we apply certain thinking to manipulate the chaos. And that goes into the word. Sound is the primal part of the word.”

Throughout the E-Lecture Rashid does an excellent job of explaining how the letters that comprise the English alphabet—as well as those of a few ancient languages—are in fact sigils that can stand on their own to convey profound meaning, not just when they are configured to form the words that codify our reality.  In complimentary fashion, Oba relies on timeless West African cosmologies to explain the importance of the word within the overall theme of creation.

If you are a conspiracy enthusiast who wants to hear about shape-shifting reptilians from the Draco star system, then this probably isn’t the video presentation for you. However, if you are a dedicated student and practitioner of human psychology who wants to understand its relationship to the African life sciences that laid the foundation for world civilization, then this is certainly a production worth adding to your personal video library.  

To order the E-LECTure, simply e-mail A.A. Rashid at qabalagod@gmail.com to express your intent to make a purchase. The video is in MP4 format and will be e-mailed to you following receipt of your purchase.

When Rashid isn’t lecturing audiences on the esoteric dynamics of human language, he has been busy making words work like William Wordsworth so that you can appreciate a word’s worth through the art of hip hop music. The “Randy Savage” track below is from his Batman Mafia mixtape which was released late last year. He is currently working on his first EP.
