00.   The Temple being in darkness, and the Speaker ascended into
   his place, let him begin by a ritual of the Enterer, as
   followeth.
01.   Procul, O procul este profani.
02.   Bahlasti!  Ompehda!
03.   In the name of the Mighty and Terrible One, I proclaim that
   I have banished the Shells unto their habitations.
04.   I invoke Tahuti, the Lord of Wisdom and of Utterance, the
   God that cometh forth from the veil.
05.   O Thou! Majesty of Godhead!  Wisdom-crowned Tahuti!  Lord
   of the Gates of the Universe!  Thee, Thee, I invoke.
      O Thou of the Ibis Head!  Thee, Thee I invoke.
      Thou who wieldest the Wand of Double Power!  Thee, Thee I
   invoke!
      Thou who bearest in Thy left hand the Rose and Cross of
   Light and Life:  Thee, Thee, I invoke.
      Thou whose head is as an emerald, and Thy nemmes of the
   night-sky blue!  Thee, Thee I invoke.
      Thou, whose skin is of flaming orange as though it burned
   in a furnace!  Thee, Thee I invoke.
06.   Behold!  I am Yesterday, To-Day, and Brother of To-morrow!
      I am born again and again.
      Mine is the Unseen Force, whereof the Gods are sprung!
   Which is as Life unto the Dwellers in the Watch-Towers of the
   Universe.
      I am the Charioteer of the East, Lord of the Past and of
   the Future.
      I see by mine own inward light: Lord of Ressurection;
      Who cometh forth from the Dusk, and my birth is from the
   House of Death.
07.   O ye Divine Hawks upon your Pinnacles!
      Who keep watch over the Universe!
      Ye who company the Bier to the House of Rest!
      Who pilot the Ship of Ra advancing onwards to the heights of
   heaven!
      Lord of the Shrine which standeth in the Centre of the
   Earth!
08.   Behold, He is in me, and I in Him!
      Mine is the Radiance, wherein Ptah floateth over the
   firmament!
      I travel upon high!
      I tread upon the firmament of Nu!
      I raise a flashing flame, with the lightning of Mine Eye!
      Ever rushing on, in the splendour of the daily glorified Ra:
   giving my life to the Dwellers of Earth!
09.   If I say "Come up upon the mountains!"  the Celestial Waters
   shall flow at my Word.
      For I am Ra incarnate!
      Kephra created in the Flesh!
      I am the Eidolon of my father Tmu, Lord of the City of the
   Sun!
10.   The God who commands is in my mouth!
      The God of Wisdom is in my Heart!
      My tongue is the Sanctuary of Truth!
      And a God sitteth upon my lips.
11.   My Word is accomplished everyday!
      And the desire of my heart realises itself, as that of Ptah
   when He createth his works!
      I am Eternal; therefore all things are as my designs;
   therefore do all things obey my Word.
12.   Therefore do Thou come forth unto me from Thine abode in the
   Silence: Unutterable Wisdom!  All-Light!  All-Power!
      Thoth!  Hermes!  Mercury!  Odin!
      By whatever name I call Thee, Thou art still nameless to
   Eternity: Come Thou forth, I say, and aid and guard me in this
   work of Art.
13.   Thou, Star of the East, that didst conduct the Magi!
      Thou art The Same all-present in Heaven and in Hell!
      Thou that vibratest between the Light and the Darkness!
      Rising, descending!  Changing ever, yet ever The Same!
      The Sun is Thy Father!
      Thy Mother the Moon!
      The Wind hath borne Thee in its bosom; and Earth hath ever
   nourished the changeless Godhead of Thy Youth!
14.   Come Thou forth, I say, come Thou forth!
      And make all Spirits subject unto Me:
      So that every Spirit of the Firmament
      And of the Ether,
      Upon the Earth,
      And under the Earth,
      On dry land
      And in the Water,
      Of whirling Air
      And of rushing Fire,
      And every Spell and Scourge of God the Vast One, may be
   obedient unto Me!
15.   I invoke the Priestess of the Silver Star, Asi the Curved
   One, by the ritual of Silence.
16.   I make open the gate of Bliss; I descend from the Palace of
   the Stars; I greet you, I embrace you, O children of earth,
   that are gathered together in the Hall of Darkness.
17.   (A pause)
18.   The Speech in the Silence.
      The Words against the Son of Night.
      The voice of Tahuti in the Universe in the Presence of the
   Eternal.
      The Formulas of Knowledge.
      The Wisdom of Breath.
      The Root of Vibration.
      The Shaking of the Invisible.
      The Rolling Asunder of the Darkness.
      The Becoming Visible of Matter.
      The Piercing of the Scales of the Crocodile.
      The Breaking Forth of the Light!
19.   (Follows the Lection)
20.   There is an end of the speech; let the Silence of darkness
   be broken; let it return into the silence of light.
21.   The speaker silently departs; the listeners disperse unto
   their homes; yea, they disperse unto their homes.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all known algorithms [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Our persistent inability to emulate perception gives reason to doubt the current paradigm and to look for an alternative paradigm.      Penrose[7] and many others [8, 9, 10] argue from practical considerations, Godel's theorem, and

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs.        Complete instructions for building this simple, deadly weapon  could be given in half the space I'm using here and not require a  single illustrat
