Is there distance between the center of your body to the outreach of your hand? This is the sphere of sensation or the aura. The sphere becomes completely filled with light. I'm not sure how you can have a matrix without any relativity between points. A single point does not constitute a matrix. Not sure how matrix equates with no distance or direction as these things are relativistic.
The key is to associate the mind with all aspects and levels of creation. Thus, the four directions, relating to the four primary elements, is a way to key in to all the levels of reality, as well as to call to the powers of all these levels.
In my opinion, I think the rituals should be mastered and one should find proficiency with them in their natural form before attempting to change and modify them. I feel that most people just want quick results, they don't want to have to "get to know" a system before seeing results from it. So people jump in and immediately want to start modifying and changing things that don't immediately make sense, without actually making an attempt to understand why the ritual is the way it is. (Not saying you are doing this, just a common thing I see.)
The Names are considered to be ingrained and an innate part of our collective consciousness and to be gestalts or archetypal concepts which are part of the very make-up of our reality itself. Both Hebrew and Sanskrit (as well as some other languages like Chinese, Egyptian) are actually found naturally within the structure of the universe. In cymatics by intoning the vowel tones from these languages you can actually produce the written letters in sand. Thus, Hebrew is considered not just a regular language, but it actually a key or accessing language for calling to the universe. You could say it's closer to the universe's natural tongue.
Thus, the God-names are again referencing and calling particular levels of consciousness and creation. I believe the Names themselves are 'alive', as I believe that language, letters and symbols have a whole consciousness and intelligence of their own. So when you are calling these names, you are making a personal address to the raw elements of the universe itself. Another aspect is that the intonation of the words and Names themselves has power. So no, they are not shortcuts, they are tools and every tool has a different function. These tools are used together to create a particular effect through the construction of a ritual.
So, the names are Keys. The 'locks' they unlock are the levels of the consciousness as they are tied back to the One. It is a form of conscious recapitulation of the One Thought.
Thanks for the answer, usually I picture doing things my way as a slower process but utimetaly yeilding result which resonate more strongly with me.
About the matrix, I picture the One as a singularity within which creators manifest through desire. Each creator is an observer as viewed by quantum mechanics and is also a point of the matrix generating time and space, keeping it coherent with itself as an information-web. This would apply to any entity in existence from 1D to the very end, and a macroscopic observer is made of microscopic observers. Reality is but a part of the astral planes in a way, each point of the matrix is stacked as different quantum states into one singularity. That my view of outside the Octave. The Intelligent Stack of infinite possibilities or experiences. Though outside the Octave simply means beyond the illusion as it is what we currently are too.
Does them being tools imply that there are different tools that some will resonate more or less with? Or are these Universal?
