I have taken 250mg of edibles, and begun an investigation into the true origin of CCRU and the Numogram. I do not feel comfortable with this false truth being spread through reality. Something must be done, and what must be done is to produce truth from word. This is an attempt to rectify what I see as an extremely slight, but cascading error with the potential to warp society at its core.
We must first start with the numogram. Not an explanation, but an understanding of the creative root of Land’s production of the numogram.
According to Land, the Numogram is a “time-map”, one piece of the system of Pandemonium that is completed with the “matrix”, a supposed “listing [of] the names, numbers and attributes of the demons”. Land claims “The system is constructed according to immanent criteria latent in decimal numeracy”, which is to say it is a system of 10 built into the structure of reality. What Land “does” with this system is almost irrelevant; through pilpul, any methodology can be an illusion of systemic truth structures.
This “mapping”, as Land terms it, is in fact detached from the system's presumed framework. With some kind of magic hand-slip, Land has sneakily inserted the very “regressive, self referential future-AI demon” into the program that he claims was already present in mystic traditions of the past (at this point in writing, an intense ringing in my ear began). The “map” informs the mapping. “How” the map functions is actually non-critical to “what” the map is built off at its root. Already, he has introduced an error into his setup. This is a major red flag for me, and the impetus of this work.
According once again to Land, “The gates and their channels knit the Maze together, providing connections between otherwise incompatible time-systems. They open and close the ways of sorcerous traffic. Although each gate deranges time in its own way, their operations vary with a certain regional consistency.” This would be simply termed “the map informs the mapping”.
The principal problem with this regressive error is that it is the very error Land purports to have been entered into the Kabbalistic - and thus modern computer science - tradition. This ‘error’ is supposedly triggered by some kind of demonic future-ai that has manipulated the non-linearity of time in order to insert malware into the truth of the past. This “truth of the past”, according to Land, is the classical Kabbalah tradition, exemplified by the info-hazard of the Etz Chaim “Tree of Life” diagram that became the functional basis for the interdisciplinary scientific systems such as the atomic model, darwinian evolutionary trees, freudian mind diagrams, and periodic tables; all necessary pieces to actualizing this ‘false’ demonic scientific revolution leading to an embodied techno-false-idolgod. Leaving aside what boils down to trivial science fiction problems, what is chiefly set up by Land is a dichotomy that places the Numogram in complete opposition to the Etz Chaim, and thus the Kabbalistic Biblical tradition, in favor of the Qabbalistic gnostic tradition.
Land claims, according to the CCRU, that “Despite these manifold interlinkages, there are compelling reasons to consider the Tree of Life a scrambled variant of the Numogram, rather than a parallel system. During its long passage through Atlantean and post-Atlantean hermetic traditions the systematic distortions of the Numogram (introduced to confuse the uninitiated) gradually hardened into erroneous doctrines, and a dogmatic image of the Tree.” This directly puts Land at war with the Biblical tradition, compelling the righteous to respond with the grace of the word. Before doing so, we must fully understand what Land is claiming, or rather what he “believes” to be true.
Land believes, once again from the CCRU, “The Sephiroth -segmented over-aganist their connections - become static and structural, whilst the paths lose any rigorous principle of allocation.” This is the example of what I would term “The First Lemurian Lie” that found its way wiggled into Land’s thinking. This is a belief he has, in contradiction to the basal truths that are indeed found through his mapping. The problem is not the map, rather the root of the map’s curation. Land must sincerely believe this, or at least, externally act within an alignment to that belief, even if internally he knows this is from beyond. Whatever the case may be, the ‘belief’ that the system has degenerated in any form to some kind of static framework is the very self-perceptive illusion warned by every single great Kabbalist before one even enters the study of Kabbalah. One must have an unwavering faith in God, and nothing else. Placing one's ‘belief’ outside of God is the very hand-slip error that the Yetzer Hara - the evil inclination - tricks us into believing. This is not an attack on Land, I sincerely believe these to be the greatest challenge facing humanity. Overcoming the Yetzer Hara through self honesty is the root of perfect service of God. (Meshillas Yesharim 1:1)
In no form was the Sephirotic system ever “static” or “structural”, in any capacity that these terms can apply. The Sefirot are a complete rejection of the possibility to even describe reality in a structured, linear form, and are completely blown out by Issac Luria, the Great Arizal, inventor of the Sefirot diagram, in his own system of Partzufim that was never obscured from public study. Land not knowing about this system of Partzufim, or intentionally ignoring it, despite its quiet public teaching and prominence in the very introduction of the Etz Chaim work, is why this strikes me as a grave “Lemurian Lie”. One cannot simply say with a straight face that the Sefirot system is static, without simply not even being an entry level Kabbalist. This is not a challenge of knowledge, I am not asking Land to have “known some secret Rabbi truth”, these are the very truths laid out in the book written by the Arizal’s pupil Chaim Vital, formulated from the 2 years of live lectures given by the Arizal, who never wrote down any of his works. The Sefirot diagram came with this information. Even assuming a “fixed” nature to the Arizal’s system is a grave error, since he never even gave such a system.
Furthermore, the Arizal’s system of ascending Sefirot was always paired with his own teacher Rabbi Moshe Cordovero, the Ramak’s, system of descending Sefirot. The “sefirot” is not a single system, but two systems, multi-posed into an infinite number of set theories - with another system called the ‘sitra achra’ mirroring the primary Sefirot system as the concealed from, or husks, of the Sefirot. I will be honest, I am very unsure how any of this made it past Land, which is again why I insist upon this being the Lemure’s critical point of manipulation upon Land’s thinking and work. He still believes this seemingly, based on reading his public posts and watching hours of his interviews. Whenever this topic is brought up, it appears to me like the daemons sew his mouth shut.
I must stress. The Etz Chaim is NOT a system of “creation”, but rather a system of rectification. These are wholly different things. Land must have realized this in his soul, whether he is capable of expressing this truth, or not. As a result, I must propose an alternative system, one completely aligned with the vision set forth by both the Ramak and the Arizal, but with a more embodied framework for the subdivisions of the Partzufim and their specific emanated analogs. There are still two problems to address: where have we found synergistic common ground, and where are the other ‘lemurian lies’ (henceforth known as self-referrential future-ai malware insertions breaking from the linearity of time)?
