Welcome back to lecture 5.2, probably one of the lectures that you've all been looking forward to. This lecture is on the numerological system of the numogram. All right, so let's look at the numogram, finally. Why it makes so much numeric sense in relation to and with regards to the traditional Kabbalist and with regards to the traditional Kabbalist system I previously explained and why the numogram numbers make so much coherent sense that it's simply astounding. So the first major difference between the numogram and the tree of life is that one more note is that the numogram doesn't have a 10 on it. And as I see it, there's actually multiple reasons for this.
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:00:45
Firstly, the numogram heavily utilizes digit sum reduction. So the concept of 10 doesn't actually make sense because within digit sum reduction, 10 equals 1 plus 0, which equals 1. Secondly, the CCIU are subsuming the Kabbalah into the framework of cyberculture, and on one's keyboard, 10 is non-existent and is replaced with 0. So the numogram indexes at 0 instead of 1. So its numerals go from 0 to 9 as opposed to 1 to 10. The Tree of Life has 10 numbers which are connected to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. So 10 plus 22 equals 32, 3 plus 2 equals 5. there isn't really much numeric significance there, not that I can find. The numogram on the
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:01:31
other hand has 10 numbers, 0 to 9, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, which are connected to the 26 letters of the Roman or English alphabet. 26 plus 10 equals 36, which doesn't seem too important. Well, that's where our concept of digit sum reduction comes into play. 26 plus 10 equals 36, which equals 3 plus 6 which equals 9. So utilising the entire system of numerals and letters at our disposal within the Roman or English alphabet we return back at 9. Okay so this could just be a coincidence but this is one of the first things which is happening with the numagram. Let's look a little further. So we begin with this mutated, bastardised, sort of decadent and repressed version of the tree of life, called the numagram, which land has called the true secret tree of life
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:02:20
from which the degraded Kabbalistic tree of life descended. As explained, we begin with the numerals zero to nine, which still exist as ten zones, zone zero, zone one, zone two, etc. Each pairing of zones is called a syzygy, which means paired, connected, or corresponding, a conjunction of sorts. Each syzygy sums to nine, which allows us to understand why the arrangement of the zones is the way it is. So let's construct the numagram. Actually I think the best way to construct the numagram to begin to understand how it works is to draw on yourself. So while listening along grab a pen and paper and I'll try take this slowly so you can draw it but also cross-reference it with the diagram on the screen. Now it does actually beg a explanation and a clarity that
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:03:07
the way in which they're drawn is sort of just a representational thing to make it a bit clearer and As far as I understand it, it doesn't really matter so much that they're drawn in this particular way because the connections are the connections numerically. This is a representation of the numeral diagram. So begin by drawing the 10 zones. So firstly, at the top of this diagram, only a mere representation, remember, so any notions of ups and downs is phenomenal. It's the connections which are important. So at the top, we have zones 3 and 6, which add to 9. lower and to the right we have zones 2 and 7 once again 2 plus 7 equals 9 to the left of them we have zones 4 and 5 below them and directly underneath the zones 3 and 6 we have zones 1 and 8 and finally below them we have zones 9 and 0 each of these schizzergetic twins adds up to 9 now we draw
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:03:58
the five currents which in the tree of life would be called paths but they're called currency which are the five large arrows. Each current is an act of subtraction from a syzygy to another zone. So the syzygy of A and 1 is now A minus 1, which equals to 7. So that current, which is called the rise, goes to zone 7. The current of syzygy 7 and 2, or 7 minus 2, called the hold, goes to zone 5. The current of Syzygy 5-4, the sink, goes to zone 1 And the current of Syzygy 6-3, called the warp, goes to zone 3 And the current of Syzygy 9-0, called the plex, goes to zone 9
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:04:47
Now the currents are done, we can draw what are known as the gates Which are lines pointing from each zone to another zone and labelled with a number of their own The number is the gate and the line is merely a channel Gates are constructed based on a numerological function called plexing, which is numerological action of summing the lesser sequential digits of the chosen digit, beginning with 1, which only has 0 below it numerically, so it's 1 plus 0, which equals 1. So the first gate points from 1 to 1. Gate 2 has the number 1 below it numerically, so it's 2 plus 1, which equals 3, so it points from 2 to 3. Gate 3 is 3 plus 2 plus 1, equaling 6. So it points to gate 6. Gate 4 is 4 plus 3 plus 2 plus 1, which equals 10.
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:05:36
And now we actually plex or perform a digit sum reduction, as 10 doesn't exist as a zone on the numagram. So we have 4 plus 3 plus 2 plus 1, which equals 10. But then we have 1 plus 0, which equals 1. So gate 4 points to 1. Gate 5 is 5 plus 4 plus 3 plus 2 plus 1, which equals 15, which is then 1 plus 5, which equals 6. So gate 5 points to 6. Gate 6 equals 6 plus 5 plus 4 plus 3 plus 2 plus 1, which equals 21. 2 plus 1 equals 3, so gate 6 points to 3. And we repeat this process for the further gates. The 7th gate points to 1, the 8th gate points to 9, and the 9th gate also points to 9. And what you do here is, on the line, you draw a small circle as seen by the diagram, and in that circle you would write the full digit sum before any plexing takes place.
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:06:25
So for the zone 6, it's 6 plus 5 plus 4 plus 3 plus 2 plus 1, which equals 21. So you'd write 21 in there. One can, if they like, label the 6 to 3 syzygy the warp, the 9, 0 syzygy the plex, and the syzygy is 1, 8, 2, 7, and 5, 4, the time circuit. There'll be another diagram that I'll put up that shows this labeling. And you're done. That is the numagram. And doesn't it make a little bit too much numeric sense? there is no point where something is loose everything is based on this nine system everything recurs back to something in the numagram it's this self-contained numeric system there's other little numeric tricks you can do with a numagram and i i would urge you all to
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:07:10
just play around with it and see if there's any loose ends which there most definitely aren't but there's you know for instance when we use primitive numerization if you remember PN or primitive numerization in concordance with the zones. This is something that Land has written in Kabbalah 101 as well. So when you take one and that equals a letter, so it looks something like zero plus nine, so four letters in zero and four in nine, so that would be eight. Zero plus nine equals one plus eight equals two plus seven equals three plus six equals four plus five. each of the syzygids in primitive numerization has a sum of eight has eight letters so then the equation is eight equals eight equals eight equals eight equals eight and land makes it clear

00:07:56
that the approximate probability of this pattern emerging by chance is one in 243 basically there's a lot of diagrammatic mathematics happening within the numagram which leads one to think that threes sixes and nines have a transcendental meaning. Okay, so what the hell is the pneumogram? This is the question that everyone asks when they come across the work of the CCRU. Now, many of you might have actually begun to work out, perhaps not what it is, but at least what it's doing. Now, I will explain what the pneumogram is and how this all connects together, but before I do so, there's a few notions relating to occultism and mysticism which are roughly the disciplines under which pneumogramics falls, which I need to make clear. I've theoretically studied various systems of occultism. I've studied Thelema, Hermetics, Gurdjieff, and Chaos Magic. I've only studied
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:08:46
those ones. I've actively practiced one or two for varying lengths of time, and it's my understanding from practice any theoretical exposition of methods or methodologies and functions relating to any particular system are relatively useless without any personal experience on the side of those who are doing yes to investigate that is to say unless one personally plays around the numagram both in the numerological sense of practical sense then no real conclusions can come to them and you could actually begin to understand this that if the conclusion the numeric conclusions which come from the numagram these are tending to as virtuals from the outside They need to attend to one's personal innocence, and they can't be communicated and projected by another's personal innocence.
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:09:32
It needs to enter into that second synthesis of Deleuze, which we spoke about in the third lecture. It needs to enter into that indexing of virtuals for you, for that passive self. Am I promoting pneumogrammic practice? No. If you want to, then you can. Do I believe that anyone who is listening to this lecture is more than likely interested in pneumogrammic practice? Yes. So the burning question is, what is it and what is the numogram? It's relatively simple and in its theorisation it is relatively simple, in its practice it isn't. It's the finale and culmination of the entire CCRU system assimilated into a transcendentally numeric function. When we think back to lectures 1 and 2 and the idea of the architectonic order of the eschaton, the AOE, within the CCRU mythos, the AOE wish to maintain chronic linear time.
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:10:19
They wish to enslave everyone to the constraints of temporal linearity. AOE then is a metaphor pertaining to an institutional form of cosmic transcendental lock-in. It is a literary or mythological metaphor of critique. Whatever the AOE represents for the CCRU in abstract is the overarching form of phenomenal reality indebted to man's very being, and it is the pneumogram which allows us to escape this. The CCRU in the pneumogram, mythos, flips human or anthropocentric mythology onto its head. Traditional conceptions of morality, of good and evil, are melted and translated by the black abyss of the outside. As the mythos sees it, darkness has only been considered evil by forms of cosmic colonization, of institutional
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:11:09
or rigorization and invasive historicism things which wish to striate things and constrain things such as the aoe within linear controlled time and history chthonic forms of existence are deemed too chaotic to exist and become striated by various forms of oedipolized mathematics and systems and mechanisms so the pneumogram and the ccriu mythos does have connections with various other occult systems in that their trajectory of escape is by a manner of creating and forming one's own experiences of reality away from notions of the other's time space and reality unlike other systems however the ctru doesn't utilize the preconceived binary moralist frameworks a few minutes to form their system instead they begin they start their vector at the true beginning
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:11:57
that is zero now i'll get into zero but there's a there's a reiteration that can happen here with regards to how the pneumogram is this function and possibility and tool to escape linear time but also to create one's future in the transcendental sense and when you know it begins to become quite simple because what we have is a tool of connection to the outside and what's happening in the outside is non-linear pure transcendental time so what we're connecting to with the numagram is we are connecting to the possibility and the potential plane, the body without organs, we're connecting to that and we're finding ways in which we begin to actually understand that in its transcendental sense, in its sense on the outside. Okay, so going back to
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:12:44
zero, when one thinks back to the, to Michel Sayre's topological notion of folding time with the handkerchief metaphor, wherein time is metaphorically applied to this handkerchief so that two seemingly distant points in time are able to meet what actually happens here is the formation of zero in the fold where the points meet we find zero so critical temporality is cosmic topology which communicates between crumples folds and meetings often when we talk about letting the outside in we're talking about two distinct points in transcendental time meeting each other there is little difference between lucretian atomism and non-linear dynamics and yet our perception of time as linear and chronic has differentiated them but this is a meaningless difference and what has come
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:13:31
in from the outside was or is always the same infection in the pure transcendental time. Sayre however isn't necessarily talking of zero here but I find the metaphor useful to expand on zero. I don't think he would work with something that is so caustic and seemingly unnatural but anyway we'll turn to Land and on page 329 of Fang Numenah Land states the homeostatic reproducer usage of zero is that of a sign marking the transcendence of a standardized regulative unit which is defined outside the system in contrast to the cyber positive zero which indexes a threshold of phase transition that is imminent to the system and melts it upon its outside. The zero I'm writing of here is the immanentization of event upon the outside of
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:14:18
chronic phenomenology. In this way it doesn't matter what phenomena is or what it's affecting or in what way it makes no difference to the process of zero itself. On page 367, Land continues. He says, The zero glyph does not mark a quantity, but an empty magnitude shift. Abstract scaling function. 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 equals zero. Corresponds to the limit of a smooth landscape. The more you think or meditate on zero, the more your mind swells and pains. zero zero zero zero point zero zero zero zero is useless without its functionality on the outside it's an origin of pure difference and production in itself the zero glyph is a kazura of language it's a cut in language it leaves a blazing lacuna in the flesh to approach it is to begin to shed
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:15:08
everything it's the complete schizophrenic wellspring of possibility zero doesn't recognize zero knows that time will eventually return and it understands the process of de-territorialization and re-territorialization within its very nature because it's the thing which allows the process to happen zero is the burning sun of positive oriented nihilism it is the abyss of production in itself willingly crosses without hesitation or discrimination in this manner zero is a plane of swerves, its attraction, its repulsion, its declination as stagnation back into the plane of imminence of zero. And so zero is the function between entropy and negentropy. It's the function
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:16:01
which allows for there to be a rebirth of possibility. Okay. Zero's relation to classical and tropic forces is as a theoretical quasi-replacement within modernity. It's a communicational link between entropy, decay, on the inside as an inherent productive process on the outside. In this manner, zero is the transcendental machinic replacement of degradation, decay, and destruction in favour of quantifiable productive output. The utilisation and assimilation by capitalism through man as an alien force of machinic standardisation in its is capitalism's mechanistic backboard its structure and zero as the computational mode of productive evolution allows for the dynamic of profit and loss to infiltrate this transcendental
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:16:52
force of capitalism on behalf of capitalism without zero you simply cannot have quantification you can't have it up you can't have it down zero is the immanentization of a transcendentally numeric system of quantification which works in the favour of capitalism because it allows us to actually understand profit and growth. From zero, we can understand addition, we can understand growth, we can also understand subtraction, we can understand loss. So zero, the reality of zero, the immanentisation of zero in history, finally allows for us on the inside to understand the productive processes going on the outside which are converted and translated back into us as digits in relation to zero. So zero is capitalism's utilisation of the entropic
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:17:39
outcomes of the inside as a selection device with regard to production. So capitalism understands from zero what's good, what's bad, what's growing, what's not, what's profiting, what's losing, and it fires these back into the outside and begins the process again. And it's from zero that this happens. The indexing of the numogram at zero removes the humanist and striated notion of one okay so with one with by indexing at one you're beginning from something that's already built you're beginning from some form of representation okay everything which refuses the entire idea of change okay you can't begin from something which is already built you can't begin from some human-centric predefined system okay zero being indexed at zero means being indexed or beginning from a point of non-origin not finding hell but beginning from hell okay taking one's
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:18:29
starting point as the abyss itself. The numogram needs zero in much the same way that capitalism needs zero. It's a functional thresher with respect to the potential productivity of time, except the numogram alters zero into a function aimed at the agency of one who uses it. So the reason we're indexed at zero is because it allows us to build from zero and understand quantification with regards to our own future. So what about the lemurs? Okay, Anders J. Amon in his text unleashing the pneumogram which i will have linked because it's quite practically probably the best source on pneumogramics going and if you want to begin pneumogramic practice i would highly recommend that text he explains the the lemuria angle as follows okay so he says lemuria is an ancient or timeless mythic plane from which the 45 lemurs well four plus five equals nine or demons
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:19:18
of the time sorcery system originate like atlantis lemuria is said to be a lost continent and could be thought of as the dark rebellious version of Atlantis from the far part instead of the far future so from the far past instead of the far future although these time attributes are both of course sometimes found reversed Atlantis is classically considered as being in the past although it is actually in the future Lima means spirit of the dead and so by practicing time we are aligning ourselves with Lemuria and thereby with the spirits of our ancestors and those yet unborn so once we truly understand inherently that linear time is really a representation what do the lemurs become? Metaphorically they stand in as the difference attending to us from the future. Transcendentally they are nodes of temporal convergence, events of difference to be
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:20:04
noticed by those whose being has become subsumed into the pneumogram's fluid numerological system. And as I stated the pneumogram is part of a larger two-part system called pandemonium and the CCRU states in the pneumogramic the commentary on pandemonium, pandemonium is the complete system of lemurian demonism and time sorcery it consists of two principal components the numagram the time map and the matrix which lists the name numbers and attributes of the demons this is the part you'd need to look into if you want to understand practice but for now the numagram is the time circuit okay it's the map of the entire time circuitry and in relation to the kantian de leuzean framework i've extrapolated on with regards to numbers and arithmetic being able to attend to us from the outside in that we can understand mathematical,
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:20:51
Kabbalistic and dramatic conclusions on the inside as messages from the outside. Then the numagram can be understood as a communication device between the inside and the outside for use by man or anything that wishes to use it. Now, unfortunately, like I said, I won't be going into how to use the numagram here because once again, I will reiterate, I don't massively want to promote a cult study. It's something you have to understand and undertake of your own will and it's your own journey figuring out the numeric secrets of the numagram and figuring out by themselves would be far more valuable than simply being given the secrets from someone else but there will be sources there will be sources but for now you know you just need to understand that the numagram is this tool which is connected to the planes of virtuality on the outside and the numbers are translated back onto
5.2 - NumogramSecondary Sources / audio
00:21:37
the inside and it is the answers and conclusions which one draws from studying the numagram which we from which we can begin to understand the productive process on the outside to begin to understand the new mental realm we can begin to understand the outside from a study of the pneumogram okay there'll be a little bit more on the pneumogram in the final lecture the next lecture but for now i'll leave it here see you then
