"Over an extended period, I received quite clear indications through ritual that Aiwaz and Lam are one and the same intelligence. When the energy of Aiwaz seeks to manifest through a human being, it does so by materializing Lam. I also had deep insights that Aiwaz operated through Nikola Tesla for a time. Finally, after a direct experience, I briefly merged with the energy of Aiwaz's consciousness and received a very clear message: 'That I worked through Tesla! The name is the proof!' An illumination followed immediately because when you read the name Tesla kabbalistically—from right to left—it yields: AL + SET. Even for Hermeticists with limited knowledge, this is easy to interpret: AL is Crowley's Book of Law meaning God or the almighty, and Set is Aiwaz.
In the end, it was revealed that A. Crowley had known for a long time that Aiwaz and Lam are the same intelligence. When I informed certain people of my findings, including K. Grant, I received a letter from Grant containing these words:
'Lam is Aiwaz; I learned this back in 1946 directly from Crowley himself and recorded it in my journal, though I had forgotten the fact. Recently, while reviewing my old magical journals, I rediscovered this data. One day, Crowley called me over and told me that as a reward for faithful service, I could choose one of his drawings from a cardboard map. When I pulled out the portrait of Lam, he hissed through his teeth: Aivazz. 'I thought it was Lam,' I replied. 'But isn't Aiwaz our path?' Crowley asked me. In fact, the word Lam in Tibetan means path.'
Use this meditation at your own risk!!! I wouldn't recommend this to anyone dealing with mental health issues.
Stare at the portrait until you start feeling drowsy. Focus your gaze directly on the eyes. At some point, they’ll seem to expand, pulling your consciousness inward until you feel as though you've actually entered the subject's mind. From there, two paths will open up—one leading down and one leading up. If you choose to descend, you'll experience a sensation of air turbulence that can feel as intense as a storm. As you enter the dark tunnel beneath Laramie's mouth, you'll be overwhelmed by total darkness, and instead of wind, you'll hear the sound of a rushing torrent. The water swirls until a flash of light, like lightning, pierces through the thick, oily fluid. You might see an octopus-like creature whose tentacles represent the branching tunnels beneath Laramie's mouth. This leads to a sudden lull where a vague, cephalopod-like entity appears before you. In this state, connection is established through the network of tunnels branching downward toward the base of the Lama, which serves as the source of its sexual energy. This should trigger a violent vortex in your consciousness, scattering it into countless shapes before immediately condensing it into a single bright point between Laramie's eyes, specifically in the area of the Ajna cakre (Third Eye). From there, a flame of light will soar upward, spreading through the upper skull in a brilliant, blinding radiance that feels infinite. At that moment, vibrate the mantra IPSOLAM or LAMIPSO, depending on whether the tunnels are ascending or descending.
How can you say that? I guess Ryan Wilson2 is just being blind here. At least there are some visual similarities—and I don't just mean Tesla and Lam, but even Slavinski in certain images. Not an exact match, obviously, but the resemblance is there.
