The Hanged Man (Mem)--Oil on Canvas by J. Edward Cornelius

In magick, we reverse our thinking to reveal a Holy Land. Applying the Qabalistic Tree-of-Life map to all phenomena, the divine order reveals itself.

Drawing our lower mind into a whirling cycle of symbols, it becomes possible to grasp Unity. That organ of God which you are dawns upon you. 

Reversing the polarity of thought, the Qliphotic is overcome. 

Although this work of Hod-8 is only part of the Great Work, it is essential.

“The great and true work of building the Temple consists solely in destroying the miserable Adamic hut and in erecting a divine temple; this means, in other words, to develop in us the interior sensorium, or the organ to receive God.” –Karl von Eckhartshausen

Aleister Crowley opens The Equinox I:1 with a translation of this work by von Eckartshausen. Why?

Absolute truth does not exist for sensuous man; it exists only for interior and spiritual man who possesses a suitable sensorium; or, to speak more correctly, who possesses an interior sense to receive the absolute truth of the transcendental world, a spiritual faculty which cognises spiritual objects as objectively and naturally as the exterior senses perceive external phenomena.

–Karl von Eckartshausen, Letter I
