OPHITES
Chapter I - Overview
Ophites are a race of serpent-like humanoids that live on their Homeworld Effluvia, and the name Effluvia means a flowing out. Effluvia is a watery tropical arboreal world.
The intergalactic community has named the Ophites Homeworld Ophidian 369 because the Ophites are serpent-like humanoids who love mathematics, especially numbers 3, 6, and 9. And because the Ophites Homeworld temperature is constant at 36.9 Celsius,
Effluvia or Ophidian 369 is three times the Earth's diameter and about three times the Earth's mass, with a circumference nearly three times that of the Earth.
The total surface area of Ophidian 369 is about 591 million square miles, and sixty-nine per cent of the surface is water. Thirty billion Ophites are living on the planet. The Effluvian Sun is a yellow dwarf.
When humans visit Effluvia or take a pilgrimage or holiday there, they undergo rigorous physical training to ensure they are strong enough to cope with the extra 3-g forces of the Ophidian gravitational field.
For some, the Ophites' written and spoken language proves problematic because they write and speak as the words sound according to the syllable of a word.
The word (beautiful) spoken by a human sounds very similar; however, when written, the word looks different, like so (byootuhfuhl).
Ophites are two to three metres long when fully grown and have humanoid faces, arms, hands, and feet.
Ophite's vision is tetrachromatic. Meaning that the Ophite's sensory perception of colour is four-dimensional; for the Ophites, their vision combines four or more primary colours of the light spectrum. Ophites can see lots more colour than most humanoid species because they have four cone types in their retina. One advantage is that the Ophites can detect when someone is ill due to their shroud colour change.
Another benefit that the Ophite's vision gives them is seeing ultraviolet, infrared, and visible light. Light is electromagnetic radiation, and the Ophite's vision enables them to see the short and long ends and the visible light of that spectrum. Ophites can detect heat from any warm-blooded life form or structure that emits heat. The Ophites have a significant advantage in the dark.
Additionally, the Ophite's eyesight enables them to reflect fifty per cent of the light at night, picked up by their eyes back toward that light source. Ophites have a reflective layer behind the iris, giving them excellent eyesight at night. It is known as eyeshine and reflects the light in various colours: red, green, orange, yellow, and white. Ophite's eyes are a mixture of different colour combinations: red, green, blue, yellow, brown, black, orange, purple, and others.
The humanoids call Effluvia, Ophidian 369. Effluvia is a watery tropical arboreal planet with large trees, plants, and vegetation. Ophites have a considerable symbiosis with the flora and, in some ways, are similar to a butterfly and flower's symbiotic relationship. As a butterfly feeds on a flower's nectar, it travels to another flower and pollinates it. Flowers are brightly coloured, and butterflies are attracted to them. A beautiful symbiotic relationship between different species.
Ophites have nostrils and a nose similar to other humanoids used for picking up many different aromas. Yet, Ophites can also use their tongue to significantly enhance their olfactory sense when desired; this aids them in their symbiotic relationship with many plants. Ophites can, like butterflies, feed on the nectar of radiant flowers, pollinate other flowers, and help develop new plant species.
The Ophite's tongue is similar to how a snake uses its tongue. A snake's tongue has receptors that pick up tiny chemical flecks; the Ophites perceive these particles as a scent like a snake. When the Ophites retract the tongue, an enzymatic report relays that information to the brain. The Ophites can store nectar in exocrine glands below the brain and behind their ears.
Ophites can store up and combine different kinds of nectar in their glands, which they later use to produce an assortment of tasty beverages. In addition, some combinations of nectar become medicines and salves.
Ophites have wings and can fly; they call themselves gliding serpents. Some Ophites slither along the surface coiled like a spring. Others choose to walk about on their feet.
Chapter II – Reproduction & Deities
When Ophites reach sexual maturity, they are three to six years or nine. The Ophite's tetrachromatic vision also aids them in searching for a mate. Ophites engage in grandiose battles of physical strength to impress a potential mate.
The Ophites produce offspring in several different ways. Some Ophites are oviparous, laying three eggs to six or nine eggs in each clutch. They then incubate their eggs by wrapping their bodies around the clutch, keeping them warm until they hatch.
Viviparous Ophites give birth to their young offspring. Ovoviviparous Ophites hatch their eggs inside their bodies, giving birth to their offspring.
Ophites are a highly spiritual and intellectual humanoid race with a voracious appetite for secret knowledge and learning. Ophites also have an excellent aptitude for mathematics and puzzles.
The Ophites believe they have been sent into the physical universe as humanoids fully emptied and poured out to their former selves. Each one had pre-existed as a single drop of the Almighty God Khashmal's infinite consciousness, an immeasurable ocean of breadth, depth, height, and width.
Believing their desire for omniscience burned so powerfully within them as spirit children, Almighty God Khashmal propounded a riddle for them to solve. And if they could do that during their transfiguration, rebirth, and resurrection, they would become a drop in the ocean of Almighty God Khashmal's infinite omniscience upon their return.
Almighty God Khashmal counselled them before emptying and pouring them out, letting them flow into the material universe so they would have no recollection of their pre-existent life as spirit creatures. Only a divine spark of revelation would call out to them through their spirit, mind, and heart.
Almighty God, Khashmal said. Look! I am creating for you a world I have called Effluvia. She will become like a loving mother to a newborn child. She is named Effluvia, as she has come to exist as flowing out of my infinite power, wisdom and love. Effluvia had been as deep as dark waters. Behold! I have clothed her with my effulgent majesty. She will feed you, clothe you, keep you warm, cherish you and love you, for this will be the very nature of your mother, Effluvia.
The Sun, Yudiota, her husband, does watch over her day and night, sustaining her with his radiance through my infinite dynamic energy. He will blaze with love over Effluvia, and I will yoke them together as husband and wife forever, as sustainers of life, protectors and providers for their children. He will reign as King over her, and she will be his queen. Yudiota's radiance will beautify and magnify her, for Effluvia, his queen, is his crown jewel. She will forever dance around him in all the seasons of her beauty. Her two princes shall be sons of light for her eventide. They are called Veil and Jahdu and will eternally be a pearl necklace about her throat. Effluvia will have two daughters, princesses, and her daughter Sapphire shall be the very expanse and air of her beauty, and Aqua, her daughter, shall be the waters that flow within her beating heart. Together, they will be a heavenly royal family, perfect in love and harmonious cooperation. Nothing shall come between them; I have yoked them all with infinite power, wisdom, and love. I, Almighty God Khashmal, have made this the order of things, for there is chaos and destruction without it.
Almighty God Khashmal told his sons and daughters, do not fear; you are divine warriors, for I will be a spark that burns within you forever in the tabernacle of your hearts. Keep searching me out as you would for hidden treasure, gold, silver, precious gems; you will find me, for I will never turn away from you. I will return you to myself after you discover and search all my treasures.
Moreover, Almighty God, Khashmal, continued saying to them, I will send you Sabaoth the Lord of Hosts; through my spirit, he will be your helper. Sabaoth will bring you The great name of Almighty God Khashmal. That name is The Flame Of Devouring Fire. The great name of Almighty God Khashmal will come to you from afar, from the heavens, from the depths of your hearts. In his love, that name becomes a raging fire. That fire is his lips burning with utterances of light with love from deep within your hearts. Therefore, Almighty God Khashmal will condescend from heaven and through your hearts, humbling himself to enlighten you with immeasurable wisdom and infinite love.
Almighty God Khashmal continued by saying that the divine spark of revelation that burns within you will become the flame of devouring fire. As you draw closer to Almighty God Khashmal, the more the flame of devouring fire will consume you. Then, your shroud, in its entirety, will burn entirely up. You will transfigure, and after eight days, I alone, Almighty God Khashmal, will resurrect you because you have reached complete enlightenment, growing ripe in your understanding and wisdom. Look! How tiny a spark it takes to set ablaze such a great forest.
Moreover, Almighty God Khashmal said. Sabaoth, the great eagle, will come to you, my people; with his immense pinions of diver colours and endless vision, he will sit atop the massive cedar tree that reaches into the azure depths of the skies I have hammered out for you. Those skies sparkle like a shiny sapphire stone and shimmer like a bright, filmy metal expanse. The great cedar trees huge boughs spread across Effluvia, bringing shade and relief from the fiery Sun's burning; the raindrops that fall from the cedar trees' leaves will quench your thirst when you are thirsty. And its roots reach down into the heart of Effluvia herself. The great eagle will peer deep into your hearts, and then he will liquefy your heart and your minds and refine them, moulding your understanding with my words of wisdom and love. You will grow brighter and brighter like the light of day that becomes firmly established after being born from the raven of the night.
Furthermore, Almighty God Khashmal said to them. The Samphire, the Umbre Chi, and the Archimedean shall build colossal fountain gates made of pearl and gold for you. An entranceway will lead toward the fountains of the waters of Shiloah and my holy temples. The pathway they shall make from glittering amethyst crystal. As you walk that amethyst crystal pathway, my spirit will be a healing source for you, and then a calm tranquillity will possess you, and your mind will be at peace when you pray to me. Also, your heart will be calm and tranquil. There will be nine blossom trees on the right and left sides, nine on each side. These trees will symbolise the nine divine qualities blossoming within you, those divine qualities you are learning to master that will lead you home. As you pass by them down the pathway in the centre of the trees, consider that whatever path you walk, the righthand or the lefthand or the middling pathway, they all lead back to me, Almighty God Khashmal. When you pass through the fountain gates, pray for wisdom, pray for understanding above all else, and pray for one another in love. Ask me in love and humility to baptise your hearts and minds with the nine divines. When you have done these things, I alone, Almighty God Khashmal, will grant you the blessing of drinking deeply from the waters of Shiloah.
Then the divine spark of revelation will burn more intensely, burning brightly within you; your eyes will gleam, your hearts will dance with joy, and your minds will become a tsunami of peace, wisdom and love for three days. For those three days, I will rend open your hearts and minds with my wisdom and infinite love. In my wisdom, you must meditate upon the nine divines, the fruitage of my spirit during that time. You are to do these things every nine years, and on the ninth month of that ninth year, you must celebrate all together for six full days, day and night, until three o'clock in the afternoon on that sixth day. After that, you shall eat bread and drink wine, lifting your eyes toward the heavens to look to me, your God, the only true God, Almighty God Khashmal. At my right hand shall be my beloved son Sabaoth, the firstborn in wisdom and infinite love.
Almighty God Khashmal said to them before he emptied and poured them out. You are my sons and daughters; you will become as the trickle of dew, gentle rain upon the grass, and a bountiful shower upon the vegetation. I will cause you to rain down from the heavens upon the ground; you will become the springtime of life of Effluvia. Almighty God, Khashmal said further to them. My children love one another and be joyful, show peace, and have long-suffering through kindness toward one another, doing this with mildness and self-control.
This emptying, then pouring out, letting them flow into the material universe, would bring them great blessings, hardships, and suffering. They might reach true enlightenment by returning to their heavenly father and enduring these things. Afterwards, they agreed, so Almighty God Khashmal emptied them, pouring them out. They flowed into the material universe onto their Homeworld Effluvia, which he had created and prepared for them.
The Ophites believe that Khashmal Almighty God has left the divine spark of a revelation within each of them. That divine spark is indelibly encoded within and burns eternally. Therefore, the Ophites believe the divine spark exists to set them on their sacred journey.
The divine spark of revelation aids the Ophites in pursuing self-discovery and studying secret knowledge. The Ophites' divine spark of revelation is a Navi or prophet who perpetually calls out to them through their heart, mind, and spirit.
The Ophites believe they will uncover the secrets hidden behind all creation and the material universe that houses all life. The Ophites believe that knowledge will help them transcend the physical and return them to the spiritual realm where they had pre-existed as spirit creatures.
They will then drop into the great ocean of Almighty God Khashmal's immeasurable consciousness to become an omniscient soul. Finally, the Ophites believe that they will merge with Almighty God Khashmal's infinite consciousness, bringing together a perfect union with one another yet separate and distinct.
Almighty God Khashmal, through his eternal emanations, brings one to true enlightenment. Then, one is transfigured, reborn, and resurrected as a new spiritual creation or omniscient soul. Then, that spirit creation will become one with the Almighty God Khashmal. He is an infinite ocean of loyal love, wisdom, justice, understanding, mercy, forgiveness, kindness, peace, patience, and light.
Almighty God Khashmal is thought of metaphorically by the Ophites as being like a sun whose radiant rays of light sustain all life and guide one on their path to true enlightenment. God Almighty Khashmal's rays of light are his guiding hands that accomplish his will in numerous ways.
The Ophites study secret knowledge and mathematics. They practice deep meditation. They believe that they will become genuinely enlightened, knowing their authentic self. That way, their wisdom and understanding will blossom. Furthermore, the divine spark of revelation will come to burn so brightly within that their physical shroud will no longer be able to contain their celestial spirit.
Mastering a divine quality burns away or sheds part of the shroud's material self. A perfect octave will ring out across the whole universe for a day each time that happens. It also brings about a consciousness rebirth of greater wisdom and understanding and draws one closer to the Almighty God, Khashmal. Finally, after eight days, the shroud burns up completely. Then, one transcends the material universe, passing through the filmy veil of the material heavens to be with the Almighty God Khashmal.
Ophites believe they are being tested and perfected by this pursuit, carrying them to a higher spiritual plane of consciousness beyond the physical universe. They will then exist in omniscient bliss as an omniscient soul with Khashmal Almighty God fully revealed.
The one true Almighty God, Khashmal, has concealed himself from them through the creation of the physical universe. Ophites believe it is their destiny to discover their true nature, and this is all that truly matters.
The Ophites believe the physical domain or matrix they now exist in is a sandbox or a maze of darkness. Almighty God Khashmal has created the ultimate puzzle for them to exist within. Almighty God Khashmal, in his infinite wisdom, has implanted the divine spark of revelation; this has established an inherent eternal yearning, a longing for discovery within the Ophites.
Even though the Ophites cannot fully explain this, they know through experience through life that they are of God, an inward fact validated by their consciousness proven to them by their senses.
How do they even know that they exist in the first place?
The Ophites say to themselves, I feel that I am, so I am.
So therefore, God is.
The key to unlocking the puzzle and returning to Almighty God Khashmal's great ocean of wisdom is to become fully enlightened. So accomplished when the Ophites have thoroughly searched out and through his treasure, that being Almighty God Khashmal's divine qualities.
It is like finding a diamond grown within Effluvia's womb and resting upon Mother Nature's surface. After examining the diamond under a microscope, learning about its formation, understanding its intrinsic nature, and appreciating its actual value. In the same way, when searching out and through God's divine love, for the one true God Almighty is love. He alone is the Rock; all his ways are perfect and just.
Chapter III – Aba Day Loth
Aba Day Loth: Sabaoth Lord Of Hosts
Aba Day Loth is the divine name of the godlike venerated Ophites' deity.
Aba
Fahther, Kreeayter, Inherituhns, Father, Creator, Inheritance
Day
Lahyt, Eyj, Tahym, Wizduhm, Reeburth, Light, Age, Time, Wisdom, Rebirth
Loth

Aba Day Loth: Sabaoth Lord Of Hosts
According to the Ophidian, Codex Transfiguratum, ever-flowing like water, is a compilation of modern and ancient manuscripts of fluidic Ophidian knowledge and secrets.
Contains everything the Ophites have learned throughout aeons of research, discovery, mathematics, puzzle-solving, and self-introspection down to this very age, time, and day. States that Aba Day Loth, reaching true enlightenment, is the first Ophite to have transcended the material shroud and material universe.
Eight days later, Aba Day Loth was transfigured and resurrected to heaven. Eight days before his resurrection, Almighty God Khasmal renamed Aba Day Loth, Sabaoth Lord Of Hosts. Aba Day Loth told the Samphire and the Umbre Chi that he was now Sabaoth. Soon after, Aba Day Loth was reunited with Khashmal, the Almighty God and became a water drop in the immeasurable ocean of Almighty God Khashmal's wisdom. Aba Day Loth became an omniscient soul named Sabaoth, Lord Of Hosts. The firstborn son of all creation.
According to the Ophites, during Aba Day Loth's transfiguration, Aba Day Loth had a Lion's head, and his body covering was a brilliant white mother-of-pearl wool coat. Therefore, Aba Day Loth is now the Ophites' role model as a spiritual mediator in approaching Khashmal Almighty God.
Aba Day Loth has the Ophites' serpent-like body; his head resembles a Lion's head. Moreover, his body covering is a brilliant white mother-of-pearl coat of wool.
The serpent-like body of Aba Day Loth represents Caution, Stealth, Cunning, and Ingenuity.
Aba Day Loth's Lion head represents strength, courage, honour, intrepidness, and fertility.
The brilliant white mother-of-pearl coat of Aba Day Loth's wool represents purity, tenderness, gentleness, humility, submission, and forgiveness.
These divine qualities have been written down and recorded in the modern and ancient fluidic holy scriptures of the Ophites, which is entitled Math-Wet 123
Math-Wet 123 contains all of Aba Day Loth's Divine attributes. The deity's three main parts are. 1: Body, 2: Coat, 3: Head.
The Ophite's understanding is ever-growing, adaptive, changing, fluidic, and flowing like water. Achieved through ever-maturing, ever-evolving mathematics and expanding divine consciousness.
Studying Aba Day Loth's divine qualities brings one closer to true enlightenment. However, fully mastering just one of the divine attributes could take decades or even a lifetime. Others may be able to master several divine qualities reasonably quickly but then struggle with another divine quality for decades or even a lifetime.
Still, others choose to focus on the study of gnosis, with mathematics, puzzle-solving, meditation, and self-introspection. By doing so, one expands one's divine consciousness.
For the Ophites, there is no ultimate way or path to reach true enlightenment. Instead, they see all routes as winding rivers whose current is ever-evolving, ever-flowing back into the immeasurable ocean of Khashmal God Almighty.
As the Ophites increase in knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, they naturally become more radiant in their love for one another.
When their minds, bodies, and spirits are in perfect union, the Ophite/s radiate and emit a divine octave or melody for eight days. The eight days can be literal or symbolic, covering an immeasurable period.
Once the material shroud has entirely burned away, the transfiguration occurs, and the resurrection occurs so that one will be in union with Khashmal Almighty God. Afterwards, one is known as an omniscient soul because they have returned as a drop of water to the great ocean Almighty God Khashmal.
Chapter IV - Samphire
Deeply respected are those of the Ophites, known as the Samphire or burning ones, as they are close to true enlightenment. The Samphire wear white robes, a part of the Garments of Glory" because the Samphire has progressed close to true purity and enlightenment.
The Garments of Glory represent Samphire's perpetual spiritual revitalisation and regeneration. The Samphire have a golden energy field, an aura surrounding them; it emanates from their true self and inner being. The greater their knowledge, wisdom, and understanding, the more fantastic the golden aura surrounding them becomes.
The Samphire can reflect Aba Day Loth's divine qualities but only as a constant dim radiance compared to Aba Day Loth himself.
The Samphire has six wings that contain three-dimensional photonic crystals, and they greet all with the saying, veil is cut, meaning may the ever-burning divine spark lead you to true enlightenment. The greeting veil is cut the Samphire repeat in an undertone six hundred thirteen times every third month, every sixth month, every ninth month on the third, the sixth and the ninth day of those months. The Samphire can manipulate its three-dimensional photonic crystal to any colour it desires or a combination of colours. They can also project three-dimensional images from their photonic crystals, including sound.
The Samphire inculcates this into their heart, mind, and spirit. The divine spark forever burns, illuminating the path from within and without.
They do this in their temple/s, which they built to honour Almighty God Khashmal and Aba Day Loth. However, they do not create or keep idols of Almighty God Khashmal or Aba Day Loth. That is because the divine qualities are invisible, and the Almighty God Khashmal is invisible.
The Samphire has lampstands in their temples/s made from pure gold with a Lion's head atop with a white flame perpetually emanating from the mouth. Each base of the lampstand coils upward from the ground, and no one can ever extinguish the flame/s.
The significance of the lampstand coiling up from the ground represents continual spiritual growth, gradually uncoiling as the Ophites uncover secrets and knowledge that lead to true enlightenment. Moreover, the white flame emanating from Lion's head and mouth represents the burning away of the material shroud after reaching true enlightenment and the divine spark of revelation perpetually burning within.
The lampstand's golden body is fashioned, coated, and overlaid with brilliant white iridescent nacre that forms a scaly, lustrous scute. The lampstand's brilliant white body represents Aba Day Loth's purity, tenderness, gentleness, humility, submissiveness, and forgiveness.
The lampstand's golden body represents Aba Day Loth's caution, stealth, cunning, and ingenuity. The lampstand's Lion's head represents his strength, courage, honour, bravery, and ferocity. The lampstand's white flame emanating from the Lion's head and mouth also represents the ever-burning divine spark of true enlightenment that burns up all matter.
Chapter V – Umbre Chi
There are those of the Ophites known as the Umbre Chi. The Umbre Chi mediates between the neophyte Ophites and the Samphire.
The Umbre Chi wears a medallion of three letters designed from the human Greek alphabet's equivalent.
The first letter is the symbol for Alpha = A.
The second letter is the symbol for Omega = Ω.
The third letter is the symbol for Chi = Χ.
The Alpha symbol locks inside the Omega symbol.
The Chi symbol overlays the Alpha symbol, combining the Alpha and Chi symbols inside the Omega symbol.
The Omega symbol encircles the Alpha and Chi symbols, both centred inside the Omega symbol, creating Umbre Chi's medallion.
The Alpha symbol represents the beginning. A.
The Omega symbol represents an ending. Ω.
The Chi symbol represents rebirth and resurrection. Χ.
The Umbre Chi has four wings covering its body and two that spread upward.
The Umbre Chi's wings contain three-dimensional photonic crystals reflecting a beautiful deep lapis lazuli. In addition, the Umbre Chi can manipulate light frequencies to change the colour of their wings.
The Umbre Chi's eyes are a deep lapis lazuli commixed with a smoky gold. One feels profound mental clarity and contentment when one peers into the Umbre Chi's eyes.
The Umbre Chi gives their fellow neophyte Ophites a beautiful stone known as the Hevena Stone. It contains energies that may bring wisdom, truth, clarity, and love.
The Hevena Stone is Lapis Lazuli coloured and smattered in gold. The Umbre Chi also gives out flowers named The Golden Ray. The flowers' colour is Jonquil yellow, with six heads growing from each flower resembling an angel trumpet. The heads of each flower are three inches across, and the stem is three feet long. The stem is iridescent blue-green sprinkled with white tufts.
Each flower head emits a different odour, a combination of lemon, cinnamon, orange, incense, rose, and honeysuckle. When inhaled, spores emitted from the flower heads can help the nervous system's natural detoxification. Furthermore, this helps to rebalance the mind, the body, and the spirit. Each of the flowers can live for around a decade when uprooted.
The Umbre Chi help and serve their fellow neophyte Ophites on their journey to true enlightenment by removing any shadow of self-doubt cast within or without.
The Umbre Chi also teaches the neophyte Ophites how to meditate deeply on the divine qualities that Aba Day Loth mastered.
Aba Day Loth created the Samphire and the Umbre Chi upon reaching true enlightenment, utilising loving training and counsel before ascending to Almighty God Khashmal. Therefore, the Samphire, the Umbre Chi, will, out of love, aid the neophyte Ophites on their journey toward true enlightenment.
Aba Day Loth taught the Samphire and the Umbre Chi how to try to master the divine qualities in any order according to what came naturally to each individual.
Aba Day Loth did this out of selfless love for the Ophites. True enlightenment transforms one into a loyal, selfless servant untainted by nepotism or favouritism.
Aba Day Loth teaches that one will die to one's former mortal self after enlightenment. And that great sacrifice will help others before departing to Almighty God Khashmal. That may be one of the most formidable qualities for the Ophites to master, knowing that one is perpetually dying to one's former self to pursue true enlightenment. Still, it is one of the greatest because it is ultimately a selfless act of love.
Throughout Effluvia, the Ophites have built great triangle-shaped temples encircled by the omega symbol to pray and worship Almighty God Khashmal. The overlay of the temples' exterior is a red-green-blue-gold beryl stone decoration of triangular polygons. Each temple contains three holy shrines, one at each temple corner. Each shrine venerates the three divine qualities of Almighty God Khashmal. When the Ophites enter the temple, they call this the Lion's maze because Aba Day Loth Sabaoth mastered Almighty God Khasmal's divine puzzle and his divine qualities. Plus, the head of Aba Day loth was like a lion's head during his transfiguration.
Ophites temple. Below is the meaning of the temple.
The first letter is the symbol for Alpha = A.
The second letter is the symbol for Omega = Ω.
The third letter is the symbol for Chi = Χ.
The Alpha symbol locks inside the Omega symbol. The Chi symbol overlays the Alpha symbol, combining the Alpha and Chi symbols inside the Omega symbol. The Omega symbol encircles the Alpha and Chi symbols, centred inside the Omega symbol. The Alpha symbol represents the beginning. A. The Omega symbol represents an ending. Ω. The Chi symbol represents rebirth and resurrection. Χ.
The Ophites believe that suffering and corruption result from ignoring or attempting to extinguish the divine spark of revelation, leading one not truly to know one's genuine self or nature. One leads a self-destructive, aimless, empty, vain existence filled with worthless material possessions—coveting material possessions and lusting after the flesh, leading one into idolatry, which is the root of all lusts, murders and lies.
Acquiring such trinkets and lusting after the flesh is merely a distraction by which one attempts to hide what one has become. An unenlightened, barren, self-absorbed, blind, pitiful person. Attempting to camouflage that sad reality and truth.
Chapter VI - Sybarite
Other Ophites, the Sybarites, also known as the sensualists, believe that the material plane of existence is the only reality, saying that this is all that matters. Furthermore, they claim that if Almighty God Khashmal exists, he is evil for having brought into existence the material universe and all life in the first place.
Additionally, they assert that if there are any Gods at all, Khashmal cannot be the true Almighty God and that beyond Khashmal, there must exist the pure and true unknown Almighty God because no real God would be so cruel as to test his people in this way.
Why does Khashmal give light to those from whom he conceals it?
Why does Khasmal give light to those bitter with a bitter soul?
Why does Khashmal give light to those having trouble?
Has Khashmal not destroyed the hope of all mortals?
Does Khashmal not make mortals run away like the shadows?
Why has Khashmal glutted us with agitation?
Why does Khashmal let us blossom, only to be cut off?
Furthermore, say the Sybarite, suppose that Khashmal has imprinted an eternal burning urge for self-realisation to something higher than them within the Ophite's genetic makeup. In that case, this is sadistic because it is an impossible and futile pursuit that leads to nowhere, they claim. And that doing such a thing leads to actual suffering and decadence because it causes great internal conflict and warring with oneself, leading one to become self-destructive. So it is better to embrace the mortal self with all it has to offer and be content with that actualisation, that truth and leave off chasing phantoms.
Moreover, they claim that Ophites who reject the material and pursue the so-called spiritual are weak and cowardly and afraid to embrace their true mundane self, living only for the sensual moment from moment to moment. Furthermore, they contend that sensual pursuits will draw up the original hidden self, hidden even from the self that is an artificially constructed mimic of the society and world that fashioned that self, now unconsciously masquerading as the true self before the world.
Also, they argue for the total rejection of all Gods, all deities abstract in nature or not, saying that that will wholly liberate them. Then, one can freely do what one chooses without restraint, except with some provisos, one being to carry out no wilful deliberate harm to anyone and not infringe on another's freedom.
They also argue against setting oneself up as a God or some form of abstract God, whether to oneself or another. After all, no God/s should exist because any such God/s will ultimately lead to pain and suffering. They say that God/s creates division and self-righteous puritanical madness, whether intended or not, because those who follow or worship such phantoms of the mind are lunatics.
Chapter VII - M.A.S.K.S.
M.A.S.K.S. – (Mind-Altering Spiritual Karma School)
Masks are another school of Ophites that believe they can take on the persona of another spiritual Ophite by wearing masks. Thus, they hide their identity, tapping into different spiritual planes of Ophite existence, feeding off other Ophite personas' spiritual essence and aura. Through this spiritual alchemy, one undergoes a spiritual transformation.
M.A.S.K.S. use Kava leaves to make a highly euphoric drink. Before wearing the mask or while wearing it, the wearer will put themself into a deep trance state so that their mind is open for the new persona to take over. They reach this deep trance through deep transcendental meditation and pharmakeia.
The Kava leaves are similar to the ones from Earth. Thus, this creates feelings of excellent well-being and happiness for the mask wearer before they embark on their journey into different spiritual Ophite planes to discover the alter ego they believe will help them grow toward true enlightenment.
The rituals are highly secretive practices by the mask-wearing Ophites. The M.A.S.K.S. must keep these mysteries secret, never revealing their hidden truths, submitting to their new sovereign spiritual karma and mask-wearing ritual.
Wearing a mask hides the identity of the mask wearer, preparing one to take on the identity of the new Ophite spiritual being. A new persona for the mask wearer is born with a completely new identity and personality, an alter ego. Thus, whereas one may be naturally shy and reserved without the mask, one may become the opposite once the new spiritual Ophite essence kicks in.
Once in a trance, the mask wearer hands over their sovereignty to other Ophite spirit karma or aura; the new spiritual essence will enhance their personality. When the spirit takes over, they become King or Queen, a combination of both, a hermaphrodite personality, or even genderless.
Chapter VIII – Honourable Suicide
Other Ophites believe neither belief in a God/s nor sensual self-indulgence is the way.
They stress there should be no such thing as either the right-hand way or the left-hand way; only the way of death through honourable ritual suicide upholding that way will reveal the truth. Of those Ophites, not many are remaining. And they freely admit that none have yet returned to reveal the truth, saying they remain undeterred despite their dwindling numbers.
Besides, we do not have as many followers as those who follow Aba Day Loth, the one they say leads to Almighty God Khashmal as he is known to them. We have fewer followers than those who choose to do what they will, the sensualists, as we call them.
There are some reasons for this besides stating the obvious. For example, some give their energy to their faith in God/s, and some to their possessions; all we ask is that one give their life.
Still, other Ophites believe that any pain and suffering brought about by the temporal existence within a material universe is not necessarily bad in and of itself. On the contrary, they say that an authentic rebirth will bring the natural self into Almighty God Khashmal's light through pain and suffering.
They are accomplished by testing out and refining through their endurance of that pain and suffering. That is akin to immense labour pains. Only after that rebirth through the pain, the suffering and being born into the electrum of Almighty God Khashmal's light does the pure journey from the light that belongs to infancy begin. Then, one presses on to the light that belongs to adulthood, after which one can begin the journey into the light of whole, perfect maturity.
Then and only then, they believe that the shroud's burning away can begin to take place as they learn to master Almighty God Khashmal's divine attributes. They believe that pain and suffering teach honest humility and implicit reliance on God Almighty Khasmal to sustain them, renewing the truthful inner self from day to day and moment to moment as the physical self shroud burns away.
Those of the Ophites believe that the whole species can perceive the invisible qualities of Almighty God Khashmal. Demonstrated from the creation of their planet and all life upon it, declared to them through the majestic creation of the heavenly host of stars, planets, nebulae, and all else that exists within the infinite filmy veil that is the heavens existing between the world of the Ophites and Almighty God Khashmal. Almighty God Khashmal's invisible qualities are wholly proclaimed to the Ophites from the macro to the micro throughout creation.
Aba Day Loth mastered Almighty God Khashmal's divine invisible qualities that led to true enlightenment. As a result, he grew in wisdom and, through that wisdom, acquired vast understanding. So those of the Ophites believe that through an in-depth study of nature and universal creation, it is an indisputable truth that one will become like Aba Day Loth.
They say about the heavens, lift your eyes and see the one who has created all these things through his infinite dynamic power. They worship Almighty God Khashmal because of his creation. They do not worship the creation because Almighty God Khashmal is invisible, just like his divine qualities. They say that Almighty God Khasmal is the great omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent general, the master-builder and architect and the stars are his innumerable heavenly army assembled as his captains of light.
Chapter IX - Catalysts
There are those of the Ophites called the catalysts. Some of them are priests and priestesses. The catalysts believe that each part of the shroud burnt away at each stage of enlightenment is a part of the Ophites' essence, life force, soul, spirit, and energy. It exists as eternal, infinite energy because Almighty God Khashmal is eternal and infinite; therefore, that energy remains all around, though invisible to them, but accessible through the sweven, deep transcendental meditation, crystal scrying, divination and pharmakeia.
They have named that eternal, infinite energy the Infinite Dynamic or I.D. waters. Those catalysts, the priests and priestesses, teach that one must learn how to let one's ego steadily become soluble to dissolve away like sugar or salt in water. Teaching that even though it has dissolved, it remains but that the water of ever-flowing consciousness, the mind, becomes perfect in its clarity. Furthermore, it teaches that by replacing some of the mind's furniture, the already established untrained qualities of that personality, the waters of the infinite dynamic of steady enlightenment can begin to flow unimpeded.
The priests and priestesses teach and guide the neophytes to enter into and interpret the sweven or (Soul) trips utilising pharmakeia and the usage and practice of transcendental meditation, divination, and crystal scrying.
One enters what the priests and priestesses call the sweven of universal light or (Soul) trips. The sweven is a dream-like state that brings about dreams and visions, after which they attempt to interpret their visions as best they can.
The sweven is a tool to aid the Ophites on their journey toward dissolving the ego. Over time, soul trips can create a storyboard that assists the Ophites' progress. The Ophites study and meditate upon the imagery after drawing or painting their visions onto a blank canvas.
A by-product of these soul trips has created some of the most incredible artwork the Ophites have ever envisioned. When a soul trip begins, some Ophites draw and paint in free form, as they feel it teaches them independence from the already artificially manifest persona that stands in the way of dissolving the ego.
The priests and priestesses journey with their students, teaching them how to enter the sweven safely and in a controlled manner. Educating them not to fear the use of pharmakeia and its powerful effects on the mind.
The more one masters the sweven and other techniques, the more potent the consciousness becomes as one navigates those waters to true enlightenment that helps dissolve the ego. Adding new waters to their stream of consciousness is achieved by drinking or taking in from the Infinite Dynamic waters to pursue true enlightenment.
They teach that one who desires this path to true enlightenment must learn to calm the mind's waters by steadying the consciousness and taming its turbulent current.
They call this water walking. Water walking has to be mastered first before progressing onward. One must learn to develop faith in one's abilities. Learning to control their emotions by employing deep transcendental meditation aided through the sweven, divination, pharmakeia and crystal scrying.
Imagine being out in a boat at sea in a heavy storm, the winds blowing, waves lashing against the boat, the rain pouring down, the waves throwing the boat about; that is how the neophyte's conscious and subconscious mind is an uncontrollable storm of emotion.
The existing persona is that boat uncontrollably tossed about being blown here and there because of the infantile emotional, conscious, and subconscious mind. However, when faith in one's abilities grows, one learns how to take control, saying to the storm, be calm, and the storm will be calm and abate. One can then water walk, utilising self-control to calm the storm of emotion that rages internally and redirect its current. Thus bringing about a mental peace that excels all thought.
If one does not master this stage, rushing ahead and drinking from the Infinite Dynamic waters, one fears that one will sink beneath the waves into the current to the dark depths of the subconscious mind. Instead of a new enlightened part of the personality being born, a dark and debased twisted character will float to the surface after drowning the original persona.
The catalysts teach that one's neophyte personality and stream of consciousness becomes anchored by the practice of the sweven and deep transcendental meditation aided by scrying crystals, divination and pharmakeia.
Moreover, they claim that as one grows toward true enlightenment, one will naturally learn to understand and speak the secret hidden "celestial language" that will flood the waters of their consciousness.
They position scrying crystals upon three main body areas: the forehead, the heart, and the reproductive organs. They believe placing scrying crystal upon the forehead will enable one to peer into their growing consciousness and subconscious mind. In doing so, one will peep at the persona developing within.
The same principle applies to the heart. However, one can peer into one's heart to feel for one's emotional development and the maturing persona that grows within. That persona will eventually emerge to the surface as the dominant enlightened being. The enlightened personality growing, taking over, is emitting negative energy; if so, one should be able to counterbalance that negative energy through sweven, deep transcendental meditation, divination, and pharmakeia.
Additionally, they use scrying crystal laid upon the reproductive organs to see whether or not the enlightened persona born from within will manifest as primarily male or female or even a yoking of the two in perfect harmony.
One can redirect any harmful energy using the scrying crystal as a conduit in tandem with earlier techniques. In doing so, one can help fashion, to some degree, their new enlightened persona. Once that new enlightened persona is born and takes control, one can freely walk the mind's water.
Chapter X - Achamoth
Achamoth is the creative mother of wisdom for the Ophites called Torch dragons. The Torch Dragons say that she has built her house and carved out her seven pillars in wisdom. The seven pillars are her seven apostles from among the Torch Dragons; they are the foundation for the spiritual house she has built. Perfect, complete in number.
Achamoth says about herself, O the happiness, the prosperity, to be admired is the one listening to me; Waiting at my doors day by day and watching at the doorposts of my entrance, Come to me each day and listen to me. For in me, you will find wisdom, happiness and truth.
Achamoth and her Torch Dragons study all the approaches to true enlightenment that the Ophites utilise. Achamoth has merged all schools of thought and practice into one. Achamoth believes this will enable the Torch Dragons to discover their place within the world, including the universe. Leading them, in turn, to become enlightened. The Torch Dragons' view of the world, including the universe, continuously evolves and matures.
Achamoth and her Torch Dragons have made triangular, towering, cone-shaped lungs from massive pieces of fiery orange amber. The lung circumference has triangular polygons carved into it. A jumbo fluorescent couch in the centre of the lungs is fashioned out of blue amber and covered in identically shaped polygons. Three feet fashioned from red garnet stones at the bottom of the lung, one at each corner of the lung, covered in triangular polygons. The Torch Dragons use the lungs as sensory deprivation tanks.
Atop the lung, Achamoth has had the Torch Dragon Ophites inscribe the word HIKE. A large round disc on the lung's door with a centred red Sun emanating golden rays. Also, a red-green-blue-coloured serpent-like dragon is flying across the face of the Sun.
Inscribed at the base of the lung are the letters and numbers CL369. (CL meaning celestial light) and (369) because the Ophites love those numbers. CL369 Ketamine is a medication that the Ophites use to induce a hallucinogenic interdimensional ketamine expedition (HIKE). Achamoth taught the Torch Dragons how to produce Ketamine from various plants from which they take nectar.
Inside the lung, a Torch Dragon listens to the sounds of nature, the ocean's crashing waves, the wind, the rain, and the heart's rhymic beating mixed with ambient psychedelic space music. Those sounds can be combined and mixed differently to create a new ambience for the HIKE. Other Ophites prefer the HIKE without any sounds played.
When a Torch Dragon enters the lung, the door is tightly secured, after which one gets comfortable reclining on the beautiful amber and blue couch. A white gaseous cloud fills the amber lung; one breaths in and out naturally and calmly, waiting for their HIKE to begin.
They wear a device known as the Golden Bowl upon their head, with a long, spine-shaped silver cord and two UBS-like devices connected to the end of the silver cord. One device is attached to the Positron Emission Tracker or P.E.T. the other plugs into the device that houses the Polynucleotide synthetic D.N.A. data shards or Poly shards. The Brain Research Analysis Image Network System, B.R.A.I.N.S.
The letters and numbers ECC126 Hz remain engraved into the Golden Bowl, translating to the Electronic Consciousness Channel 126 Hz. The Positron Emission Tracker or P.E.T. records and stores images from the HIKE on the Poly shard via the P.E.T. and B.R.A.I.N.S.; one can play them back if desired. The Ophites believe that 126 Hz is the frequency of one's life force leading to happiness and great spiritual awakening, and it bellows the pure light and divine spark within. Aided by studying the recorded information on the Poly shard.
Torch Dragons record their HIKE in real-time onto Polynucleotide synthetic D.N.A. data shards. Poly shards can store enormous amounts of data in any format; the read-write times are lightning-fast. Inscribed on the Poly shard is Unveiling 4:11.
Achamoth teaches The Torch Dragons that the HIKE is an unveiling, a revelation, leading to immeasurable self-awareness, vast understanding and profound wisdom. Eventually, leading to full enlightenment will cause the shroud to burn away. Then the transfiguration will occur, and after eight days, a resurrection, carrying one back to Almighty God Khashmal.
Achamoth taught that she had seen a gleaming infinite firmament of crystalline gold and silver during her first HIKE. She says she saw a sapphire throne inside whirlwinds of raging amber flames. Among those whirlwinds, forked lightning flashes would go to the north, surrounded by the brilliant light of a rainbow. Achamoth said she saw three faces in amongst that brilliant rainbow. A serpent's face, a lion's, and an eagle's. Together, Achamoth said that each of the faces made a three-dimensional triangle.
Achamoth said she heard a loud voice from the sapphire throne; upon hearing it, she became liquefied, becoming a watery amber-coloured pool of gold and silver electrum. She saw the divine spark of revelation as an inextinguishable fire in her waters. She said the waters began to overflow, and the fire spread. As the waters began to grow and the fire began spreading, she could feel her consciousness expanding as she became more self-aware.
Achamoth said she found a large necklace, amber coloured, made from gold and silver like electrum on the lung floor afterwards. The large necklace has three heads: a lion's head, an eagle's head, and a serpent's head. Achamoth said she would visit the temple for the longest time, entering the Lion's Maze. Then, she would pray at the shrine of wisdom, entreating Almighty God Khasmal to grant her the greatest blessing of greater wisdom. This Achamoth had done unswervingly for the last three hundred years on the third day of the month, the sixth day of the month, including the ninth day of the month. As Achamoth did this, she would regularly engage with the Umbre Chi.
Achamoth said that the Umbre Chi would tell her that wisdom is a divine bounty, a voice in the streets in nature in the heavens within one's heart, mind and spirit. The Umbre Chi told her that because you are thirsting for wisdom, learn what these things mean, and Almighty God Khashmals' pearls of wisdom will fall from the heavens as the rain falls upon a thirsting desert.
Achamoth spent ninety years studying nature's beauty, wildlife, and elements. Witnessing Almighty God Khashmal's love, wisdom, and power through the eternal emanations of his creation. She realised that harmonising with God's creation, loving it, loving the variety of life in God's creation, that his creation sustains her life. God's creation sustains all life, including its own life, that destroying it would eventually ruin her.
Achamoth knows that all life exists by God's light, literal and spiritual. The same principle she said to herself applies to God's water, literal and spiritual. Achamoth grasped the truth that all creation lives and exists through the power of Almighty God Khashmal, and without his infinite dynamic power, nothing would be even light.
Also, Achamoth debated in the streets with those who were wiser than herself and those who were not as wise. She travelled far across Effluvia, engaging with her fellow Ophites in an elementary and in-depth discussion on wisdom. She saw how her brothers and sister lived in her travels, loving the Ophites' universal unity even though they walked their path to enlightenment. Achamoth also spent ninety years in her travels and discussions.
Each individual or group that Achamoth encountered pursued enlightenment in their own way, just as Almighty God Khashmal had wanted. She now understood that God knows they are all working together to accomplish the same goal through their individuality, even if they are unaware of it. Achamoth rejoiced at this, seeing God's great wisdom at work.
He poured them out, leaving them to find their path, leading them back home to him. He knows that individuals can work together harmoniously to achieve a common goal; this is just one expression of his infinite wisdom. Almighty God Khasmal knows that individuals unknowingly or indirectly coerced into a collective are, in reality, enslaved people and that slavery masquerades about as though it is freedom.
The Ophites follow a couple of provisos from Almighty God Khashmal. Firstly, they must not commit idolatry because, at the root of idolatry, there exists all lusts, all lies, and all murders. Secondly, they must not infringe or trample on the freedoms of one another.
The Ophites look physically different, with different colours, sexes, beliefs, and opinions. Nevertheless, they have realised that they all have divine qualities that ultimately make them all equal, even if they believe in God or don't. The universal constant is that they are all the same through those divine qualities. And by mastering that truth, one will discover Agape, the highest form of divine love. Achamoth, in her search for wisdom, has also come to understand what Agape is and why. In turn, Almighty God Khashmal has led Achamoth to those divine truths through her searching him out. God desires that for all.
Chapter XI - Archimedean
The Archimedean are the Ophites with an incredible aptitude for mathematics and puzzles. They believe that they can mathematically calculate Almighty God Khashmal's divine qualities. Moreover, they have realised that all divine qualities are infinite by quantifying the divine qualities demonstrated in their and their brother's and sister's actions.
They have said each of Almighty God Khasmals nine divine qualities, even ten, are infinite in and of themselves. Therefore, we calculate through mathematical hyperbole that God's divine qualities are nine times or even ten multiplied to infinity.
The Archimedean says that the divine qualities remain infinite in the finite mortal frame. Furthermore, the Archimedean asserts that God's infinite divine qualities are proven infinite and everlasting, temporarily allowing his divinity to exist within mortals. Thus, through his very essence, he has made us infinite for a short while.
When a snowflake falls, it is affected by the elements. Those being the atmosphere, the wind, and the humidity. A snowflake has a six-fold symmetry, so each is different, and no two snowflakes are the same. The Archimedean argued that mathematics exists within and throughout the universe, an apparent mind testification. In this case, say the Archemedian, the infinite mind of Almighty God Khashmal makes him worthy to receive all glory and all honour because he created all things, and all things move and exist by him. Almighty God Khashmal's power and wisdom exist in the world's creation. Furthermore, they say one doesn't have to be a mathematical genius to realise and appreciate that obvious truth.
Chapter XII - Za'a'zel
Za'a’zel, a Samphire high priest, will take upon himself the burdens of his people, the Ophites, every nine years on the eight-month of that year known as Lev. He constantly journeyed toward the sunset for ten days and nights until he reached the six holy mountains. Mount Tarara, Mount Anisi, Mount Islove, Mount Io'zn, Mount Calmer, and Mount Ba'Tor. And finally, enters the Holy Temple of Renovation and Restoration at the apex of Mount Islove. There, he is spiritually revived, renewed, restored and nourished.
Almighty God Khashmal's Holy Spirit accomplishes this through Za'a’zel partaking in the Holy Bread and Wine and bathing in the waters of Shiloah. He has then dressed in the garments of glory. It's then that his anointing takes place with the Holy Anointing Oil. There are three stages involved in the Holy process: at Mount Islove, partaking, humbly accepting and acknowledging Almighty God's provisions, bathing, becoming clean and Holy before Almighty God Khashmal, in spirit, mind and body, and anointing, to be sanctified before Almighty God Khashmal. His anointing occurs in Lev, the eighth month, at noon, Lev 8, 12. The anointing oil flows over his head, down over his shoulders, and onto his Holy garments.
During his pilgrimage, Za'a’zel must cross nine valleys, each flowing with the waters of Shiloah. It takes almost a day to reach each valley and cross each river. During this ten-day journey, Za'a'zel, as he travels through each valley, relearns how to empty himself so that he may become closer to Almighty God Khashmal as a willing servant and receptacle for God's Holy Spirit.
Along the way, Za'a’zel casts aside all belief, unbelief and dogma. Surrenders all reason and is open only to perfect divine love. All worldly knowledge becomes of no value at all. The Holy Spirit opens his mind and heart wide, detaching him from the physical world. In this way, he can let reality as he knows it entirely vanish. At that moment, Za'a'zel understands that all desires and attachments to his world disappear.
He also realises that Almighty God Khashmal is in all, through all and beyond all, even eternity. So Za'a’zel’s inner self disappears into the universe, and he becomes timeless, existing in the past and the future. So, he is now almost wholly ready to commune with God.
Mount Islove is also known as the mountain of paradise because upon Mount Islove is found the great white Haoma tree, the tree of divinity. The great white Haoma tree shines brightly, and its divine white light brings health, long life, happiness and spiritual growth through the emanations of Almighty God Khashmal.
The six holy mountains in proximity to one another create a pattern in the shape of a pentagram, with Mount Islove at the centre. From Mount Islove's centre burns the perpetual fiery red burning Spirit Fire of Almighty God Khashmal. The Spirit Fire remains until the high priest Za'a'zel has accomplished all that Almighty God Khashmal has commanded the Samphire High priest/s.
The constant journey toward the sunset represents how far removed from the people Almighty God Khashmal will take away their burdens. Just as the sunrise is from the sunset, their burdens will be from themselves.
Za'a'zel wears a red rose upon his holy white robe with ten petals on the journey of ten days and nights. The ten rose petals unfurl one at a time as each day and night passes. Finally, when the high priest has reached the six holy mountains, the rose petals are fully open, symbolising the heart being ready for further spiritual unfolding within the high priest himself. The heart is malleable, becoming like gold purified ten times, demonstrating the high priest's refining process on his journey utilising Almighty God Khashmal's holy spirit, provided to him by Almighty God Khashmal through prayer and supplication.
Sabathiel, Za'a'zel’s high priest brother, guards the entrance to the holy pentagram, and it's there that Za'a'zel receives the holy bread and wine that Sabathiel has prepared for him. After taking the bread and wine, Za'a'zel approaches Mount Islove, where he bathes in the waters of Shiloah. Echidna, the high priestess, has prepared his garments of glory. She aids Za'a'zel in dressing and adorning himself before ascending Mount Islove to the giant white Haoma tree.
The innermost coat is pure white silk; it covers the whole body and arms and flows down to the ground, showing that Za'a'zel is pure from head to foot. Over the coat is a robe that reaches down to the knees, and its colour is azure, reflecting the heaven mantle. The azure coat brings heavenly things to mind. The robe's rich fringe is a purple, blue, and scarlet belt adorned with pomegranates with golden bells. The seeds of the pomegranate symbolise Almighty God Khashhmal's multitudinous people. When the high priest moves about, the people hear the sweet sounds from the bells, making their hearts rejoice at the heavenly sounds as he approaches God's mercy seat.
Za'a'zel walks the sapphire pathway to the brilliant white Haoma tree next to the Holy Temple of Renovation and Restoration. On the way, he picks three pomegranates and three pomegranate twigs and leaves from the pomegranate trees. Echidna has provided Za'a'zel with wine, milk and Apas water from the rivers of delight, another name the Ophites have given to the waters of Shiloah.
As he gets closer, he notices the high priest Kolkhis standing near the mercy seat of God with the Book of Life in his hands. Once there, Za'a'zel removes his footwear because he now stands on sacred holy ground. He then spends three hours in prayer to Almighty God Khashmal.
Oduduwa, the high priest and Warrior King of light and emissary of the Holy Temple of Renovation and Restoration, bless Za'a'zel with the words; veil is cut as he enters the Holy Temple of Renovation and Restoration.
Oduduwa can manipulate the light frequencies of the three-dimensional photonic crystal of his six wings to become different shades of lustrous, beautiful black. Cool Black, Ebony, Charcoal, Outer Space, Taupe, Banded Onyx, Jet, Red Black, Rose Ebony. As all Samphire high priests can do. Surrounding each triangular-shaped photonic crystal, Oduduwa has the colour alabaster and smatterings of gold across his wings and body. Oduduwa holds the sceptre of the nine in his right hand, demonstrating he has the authority of Almighty God Khashmal. Inscribed on the sceptre are the words, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The sceptre of your Kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness. Showing that Almighty God Khashmal truly rules over all of His creation.
As Za'a'zel prays to God, the leaves of the Haoma tree change colour. The colours of the leaves become a filmy diamond-like iridescent mixture of Lapis Lazuli, Emerald, Scarlet Jasper, Amber, Chrysoprase, Golden Beryl, Hyacinth, Amethyst and Jacinth.
Thirty birds with nine heads each are on the tree's branches. The birds are benevolent, and each head symbolises the nine divine qualities of Almighty God Khashmal. Each head resembles a different bird.
A Heron's head symbolises divine light, revelation, regeneration, love, and heaven; it can shed tears of joy.
A Sparrow's head symbolises true love, desire and safety.
An Eagle's head symbolises strength, freedom, wisdom, creativity, imagination, and spirituality.
A Cranes head symbolises grace, elegance, eternal love and loyalty, balance, and focus.
A Blue Jay's head symbolises tenacity, determination, Intelligence, patience, flexibility, and communication.
A Nightingale's head symbolises artistry, effortlessness, and melodiousness.
A Rukh's head symbolises strength, sacrifice, transformation, and redemption.
A Phoenix's head symbolises immortality, resurrection, Holiness, and healing.
The Swan's head symbolises sublime knowledge, grace, nobility, light, purity, fidelity, and divine surrender.
The thirty birds also speak a celestial language. Therefore, Almighty God Khashmal allows the birds to communicate with the Ophite high priests to impart perfect divine knowledge and instruction.
The birds also reveal two hundred and seventy names of his Ophite brothers and sisters to Kolkhis, who will soon return home to Almighty God Khashmal, as they are very close to true enlightenment. However, their shroud is very close to being completely burned up.
When the birds speak to the high priests, the bird's eye colour shifts through nine shades of green: Jade, Malachite, Emerald, Celadon, Myrtle, Neon green, Harlequin, Evergreen, and Sea green. Therefore, the Ophites call the celestial language the green language. The birds can also communicate non-verbally to the high priests, utilising eye blazing, a technique whereby the birds use rapid dilation and constriction of the pupils.
Nine leaves fall from the Haoma tree, one leaf of each colour. Za'a'zel collects these leaves as a divine gift from Almighty God Khashmal. Kolkhis alchemically transmutes the leaves, wine, milk and Apas water into a consecrated holy anointing oil. So, that from above transforms that which is below, and that from without transforms that which is within. A beautiful heavenly alchemical process transforms one from the old to the new. In doing so, one can change one's reality by divine will.
Leaves and twigs from the Haoma tree make a great beverage with many positive benefits. It is known for its healing properties and aphrodisiac qualities; it can increase physical prowess perception and insight. Therefore, the beverage is known to all Ophites as the Avesta Ambrosia. When a high priest drinks the Avesta Ambrosia, he is partaking in the offering of the divine holy water.
There, Za'a'zel remains for thirty days and thirty nights in the temple of renovation and restoration. All the while, Oduduwa, Sabathiel, Kolkhis, and Echidna keep watching over their brother and guarding the entrance to the holy pentagram.
At Mount Islove, Za'a’zel communes with Almighty God Khashmal through Sabaoth, Lord Of Hosts. Sabaoth, Lord Of Hosts, is the intermediary between all Ophites and Almighty God Khashmal. Sabaoth instructs Za'a'zel on how to help his people; the Ophites grow more fully in true enlightenment by bellowing the divine spark of revelation, thus refining their understanding of the nine divines in thought and practice. Some Ophites refer to the nine divines as Nonus Themelios, the nine truth systems. They have also built a sacellum designed in the shape of a nonagon. In which they study the nine divines. Some Ophites wear a nine-sided pendant with a pentagram inside the centre of the pendant.
Chapter XIII - Blessings
The Ophites believe that after the high priest has communed with God Almighty, the mountains will flow with sweet wine, and the land will flow with milk and life-giving waters. These things are symbolic blessings from God, pointing toward the glorious future that awaits them as they become spiritually revived, renewed, nourished and restored.
The Ophites believe that the pentagram shape created by the six holy mountains breathes out from their crest Almighty God Khashmals Holy Spirit. Thus, the Holy Spirit comes to burn within each of the Ophites as a bellowed spirit fire. Almighty God Khashmal's Holy Spirit permeates the whole of Effluvia for six days and nights. Thus, spiritually, mentally, and physically, bringing about well-being amongst the Ophites only after the high priest has fully completed his journey, fully communicating with Almighty God Khashmal on behalf of all Ophites across Effluvia.
Additionally, the Ophites believe that when the holy mountains breathe out Almighty God Khashmal's Holy Spirit, it also generates within all Ophites an increase in their justice, mercy, wisdom, understanding, and, above all, love. Therefore, for those ten days and ten nights, the crests of the six holy mountains remain connected by a filmy-coloured electrum pentagram of gold and silver as the fiery red spirit of fire reaches high up into the heavens, representing purity coupled with profound enlightenment from within and without. Sabaoth, Lord Of Hosts, the great eagle, appears above the pentagram.
Tetramorph
Nawkhawsh, Shefeefone, Akshoob and Tsehfah are the Tetramorph high priests. They are called the illuminated ones, the light bearers and fire bringers by their brothers and sisters. Nawkhawsh is called the light's wise and cunning master. They are the watchers with razor-sharp vision.
Nawkhawsh, Shefeefone, Akshoob, and Tsehfah wear red and blue turbans, known as the blossom flower. The colour of the turban represents the four high priests as having a mind as broad as the sky. Upon their turban are four faces: a serpent's, a lion's, an eagle's face and the face of an ox. They each have four wings.
Nawkhawsh carries a bronze flagpole with a firey serpent around it, and the fiery serpent is also bronze. The bronze serpent is the serpent of purification. Some of the high priest's brothers and sisters are guardians of their Holy temple's light within the Great Wheel. In the centre of the Great Wheel sits the tenth crystal sphere. It is said to contain the nine divines, perhaps even ten, with God Almighty Khashmal's love at its very heart.
Within the Great Wheel, the Holy temple of the Tetramorph is the fountain of Holy water, the Dragons Spring. The Holy water flowing from the Dragons Spring flows into the Holy temple from the waters of Shiloah. And it is believed to cleanse, purify, and bless one with the nine celestial divine attributes.
The Tetramorph call Almighty God Khashmal, Bythos meaning Profound one. They also call him the Godhead of light because everything flows from him, so he made the Ophite's Homeworld Effluvia.
Thermuthis is a Tetramorph high priestess; her counterpart is the Hierophant Kalos. Kalos is said to be beautiful through the purity of his love, reason, and wisdom. Kalos helps his Ophite brothers and sisters understand the mysteries of Almighty God Khashmal's divine attributes as best they can, which are outward signs of his inward good. Kalos wears a triple crown coloured green, blue and white. The green colour on Kalo's triple crown represents spiritual growth, white represents purity, and blue represents heavenly things.
Chapter IV
THIRD EYE NEUROTANAMUS CENTRE – T.E.N
There is an Ophite school of enlightenment named the Third Eye of the Neuroendocrine Transducer Hypothalamus Centre (Third Eye - Neurotranamus – Or T.E.N) for short.
The Ophites have created a light energy absorption formulator or (L.E.A.F). The L.E.A.F can absorb light energy from the atmosphere from the Sun, water, carbon dioxide, and other types of pure gas. The Ophites then produce an intravenous drug named Hypothalamic Environmental Alternating Light, abbreviated by the acronym (H.E.A.L).
They have accomplished this using a technique known as light-altered waves (L.A.W). They take light waves, better known as electromagnetic radiation and convert them into miscible chemical energy of watery oscillating nano-particulate fluid, carried throughout the venous system via the bloodstream (which the Ophites like to call light tunnels) to the brain and onto the pineal gland, which in turn acts upon the Hypothalamus the command centre for hormonal regulation. Hormones are then released from the Hypothalamus to targeted organs within the body, creating a harmonious balance.
The Ophites believe this significantly affects the mind via the pineal gland, bringing about great spiritual awareness, inner peace and contentment. They say that an added benefit from the treatment is the healing and cleansing of the Hypothalamus if it has become injured, as well as a decalcification of the pineal gland.
At T.E.N an Ophite can be exposed to intermittent artificially created sunlight pulses that travel through the retina like an electric current to act upon the pineal gland, which then modulates the Ophites circadian rhythms in connection with the Hypothalamus and the nervous system. The light wave pulses promote well-being and positively affect the nervous system. Aided by a steady sleep pattern, daily exercise and sunlight exposure.

Aba Day Loth and Sabaoth
Aba Day Loth is the foundational individual of Ophite history. He is described as the first Ophite to reach true enlightenment and pass beyond the material universe. His achievement becomes the model around which the entire religion is constructed. The other Ophites do not merely admire him as a teacher. They study his body, his coat, his head and his divine qualities as though his transformed form contains a complete map of salvation.
His body remains serpent-like, representing caution, stealth, cunning and ingenuity. His head becomes leonine, representing strength, courage, honour, intrepidness and fertility. His brilliant white mother-of-pearl wool coat represents purity, tenderness, gentleness, humility, submission and forgiveness. The three-part structure of body, coat and head is recorded in Math-Wet 123, and these three elements become a doctrinal anatomy of spiritual perfection.
After his transfiguration, Khashmal renames him Sabaoth, Lord of Hosts. Eight days later he is resurrected and reunited with Khashmal as a drop within the infinite ocean of divine wisdom. Sabaoth is therefore both an individual Ophite and an elevated divine intermediary. He becomes the great eagle, the firstborn son of creation and the being through whom the Ophites communicate with Khashmal. He peers into their hearts, refines their minds and liquefies their understanding with divine wisdom.
Sabaoth is not simply a character who appears and disappears. He is the theological bridge connecting the material Ophite world with Khashmal. He appears above the pentagram during the blessings, instructs Za’a’zel and remains the model of what the Ophites hope to become.
Achamoth
Achamoth is the most intellectually expansive named Ophite. She is called the creative mother of wisdom and leads the Torch Dragons. She has built her house upon seven pillars, represented by seven apostles from among the Torch Dragons. Her voice is presented as an invitation to wisdom, happiness and truth, but her route to those things is highly elaborate and technologically occult.
She studies all the Ophite schools and attempts to merge their approaches into one. She does not remain within a single tradition. She investigates meditation, nature, mathematics, altered states, ritual, divination and the different doctrines of enlightenment. Her great amber sensory-deprivation lungs, the HIKE expeditions, ketamine, the Golden Bowl, the P.E.T., B.R.A.I.N.S. and Polynucleotide data shards all belong to her programme of visionary research.
During her first HIKE, Achamoth sees crystalline gold and silver, a sapphire throne, amber flames, lightning, a rainbow and the three faces of a serpent, lion and eagle. She becomes liquefied into an amber-coloured pool of gold and silver electrum, with the divine spark burning within her waters. She interprets the experience as an expansion of consciousness and evidence of spiritual progress.
Her most mature development comes after centuries of study. She spends ninety years examining nature and another ninety years travelling and debating with other Ophites. She eventually recognises that different individuals may pursue different paths while still contributing to a common good. She comes to understand Agape, the highest form of divine love, and sees variety among the Ophites as compatible with unity. Achamoth is therefore both a synthesiser of occult systems and the closest figure the story has to a philosopher of pluralism.
Za’a’zel
Za’a’zel is a Samphire high priest who takes upon himself the burdens of the Ophite people every nine years. His pilgrimage is one of the most detailed ceremonies in the story. He travels for ten days and ten nights towards the six holy mountains, eventually reaching Mount Islove and the Holy Temple of Renovation and Restoration.
His journey is an emptying process. He casts aside belief, unbelief, dogma, reason, worldly knowledge, desires and attachments. His identity gradually becomes a vessel for the Holy Spirit. He crosses nine valleys flowing with the waters of Shiloah, and each stage represents a further release of the self. His red rose has ten petals, one unfolding for each day and night of the pilgrimage.
At Mount Islove he partakes of holy bread and wine, bathes in the waters of Shiloah, receives the garments of glory and is anointed with holy oil. His inner coat is pure white silk. Over it he wears an azure robe reflecting heavenly things, with a purple, blue and scarlet belt decorated with pomegranates and golden bells. He gathers pomegranates, branches and leaves from the sacred trees before approaching the Haoma tree.
Za’a’zel is less a warrior than a ritual vessel. His character is defined by surrender, purification, endurance and ceremonial obedience. He carries the burden of the people by allowing his own identity to be emptied and reconstructed through the ritual.
Sabathiel
Sabathiel is Za’a’zel’s high priest brother. He guards the entrance to the holy pentagram and prepares the bread and wine that Za’a’zel receives before approaching Mount Islove. His role is protective and liturgical. He stands at the threshold between the ordinary world and the sacred centre.
Later, Sabathiel remains with Oduduwa, Kolkhis and Echidna to guard the temple while Za’a’zel remains there for thirty days and thirty nights. He is therefore one of the custodians of the ritual process, responsible for protection, preparation and maintaining the boundary around the sacred space.
Echidna
Echidna is the high priestess responsible for preparing Za’a’zel’s garments of glory. She helps him dress and adorn himself after his purification in the waters of Shiloah. Her role may appear practical, but it is symbolically important. She prepares the external form through which Za’a’zel becomes publicly recognisable as a sanctified high priest.
She also provides the wine, milk and Apas water used during the ceremony. Echidna therefore participates in both the bodily and ceremonial preparation of Za’a’zel. She is a figure of ritual craftsmanship, adornment and controlled transformation.
Kolkhis
Kolkhis is the high priest who stands near the mercy seat with the Book of Life. He is present at the decisive stage of Za’a’zel’s pilgrimage and acts as one of the senior authorities within the Holy Temple of Renovation and Restoration.
Kolkhis also performs the alchemical transmutation of the nine coloured leaves, wine, milk and Apas water into consecrated holy anointing oil. This gives him a role that combines priesthood, sacred chemistry and occult transformation. The story describes the process as a movement in which what is above transforms what is below, and what is outside transforms what is within.
Kolkhis therefore represents the institutional power to convert natural substances into a substance of spiritual authority. He is one of the figures who turns the beautiful symbolism of the Ophites into an organised ritual technology.
Oduduwa
Oduduwa is the high priest, Warrior King of Light and emissary of the Holy Temple of Renovation and Restoration. He blesses Za’a’zel with the words “veil is cut” as Za’a’zel enters the temple. His role is therefore both martial and priestly. He is not merely a ceremonial official. He embodies authority, protection and divine kingship.
Oduduwa has six wings containing three-dimensional photonic crystals. He can manipulate their light frequencies so that they appear in different shades of lustrous black: cool black, ebony, charcoal, outer-space black, taupe, banded onyx, jet, red black and rose ebony. Alabaster surrounds the triangular photonic crystals, and gold is scattered across his wings and body.
He carries the Sceptre of the Nine in his right hand. The sceptre demonstrates his authority under Khashmal and carries the inscription: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The sceptre of your Kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.” Oduduwa is therefore a visual synthesis of warrior power, priestly office, light manipulation, sacred geometry and royal authority.
He also remains with Sabathiel, Kolkhis and Echidna to guard the temple while Za’a’zel undergoes his long period of restoration. Oduduwa is the guardian and public face of the sacred institution.
Nawkhawsh
Nawkhawsh is one of the four Tetramorph high priests and is specifically called the wise and cunning master of light. The story describes the Tetramorph priests as illuminated ones, light bearers and fire bringers. Nawkhawsh is the most individually characterised of the four.
He is associated with razor-sharp vision, vigilance and intelligent manipulation of light. He carries a bronze flagpole wrapped by a fiery bronze serpent, which represents purification. His presence connects the Tetramorph with the serpent symbolism that runs through the entire Ophite civilisation.
Shefeefone
Shefeefone is one of the four Tetramorph high priests. The story gives less individual biography for Shefeefone than for Nawkhawsh, but places Shefeefone within the collective role of illuminated watcher, light bearer and fire bringer.
Shefeefone wears the red and blue turban called the blossom flower. The turban carries the four faces of the Tetramorph: serpent, lion, eagle and ox. Shefeefone therefore participates in the symbolic merging of cunning, strength, spiritual vision and endurance.
Akshoob
Akshoob is another of the four Tetramorph high priests. Like Shefeefone, Akshoob is presented mainly through the collective identity of the Tetramorph order rather than through a separate biography.
Akshoob is one of the guardians of the temple’s light within the Great Wheel. The four priests each have four wings and wear the blossom flower turbans. Akshoob’s role is therefore one of guardianship, illumination and preservation of the sacred structure containing the tenth crystal sphere and the nine divine qualities.
Tsehfah
Tsehfah is the fourth of the four Tetramorph high priests. Tsehfah shares the order’s role as illuminated watcher, light bearer and fire bringer. The four faces on the turban establish the order’s symbolic identity, while the four wings give the priests a distinct celestial form.
Together with Nawkhawsh, Shefeefone and Akshoob, Tsehfah helps guard the Great Wheel and the Temple of the Tetramorph. The order’s sacred spring, the Dragons Spring, flows with water from Shiloah and is believed to cleanse and bless the Ophites with the nine divine attributes.
Thermuthis
Thermuthis is a Tetramorph high priestess. The story gives her a title and position but does not provide the same extended personal description given to Za’a’zel, Achamoth or Oduduwa.
Her presence is nevertheless significant because the Tetramorph order is not exclusively male. She represents the female priestly authority within the order and belongs to the group responsible for guarding the Temple of the Tetramorph, the Great Wheel, the Dragons Spring and the mysteries of the divine attributes.
Kalos
Kalos is the Hierophant and counterpart to Thermuthis. He is described as beautiful through the purity of his love, reason and wisdom. His function is educational and interpretive. He helps the Ophites understand the mysteries of Khashmal’s divine attributes as outward signs of inward goodness.
Kalos wears a triple crown coloured green, blue and white. Green represents spiritual growth, white represents purity and blue represents heavenly things. His character is therefore built less around combat or visionary experience and more around reason, instruction, purity and the interpretation of divine mystery.
Principal Ophite schools and orders
The Samphire
The Samphire, or “burning ones”, are Ophites close to enlightenment. They wear white robes that form part of the Garments of Glory and possess golden energy fields that grow stronger as their knowledge, wisdom and understanding increase.
They can reflect Aba Day Loth’s divine qualities, although only as a dim radiance compared with him. Their six wings contain three-dimensional photonic crystals that can change colour and project three-dimensional images, including sound. They greet one another with “veil is cut”, a blessing referring to the removal of the veil between ignorance and enlightenment.
The Samphire are religious specialists, but they are also technological beings whose wings operate as photonic instruments. Their temples contain gold lampstands with lion heads and perpetual white flames, symbolising the burning away of the material shroud.
The Umbre Chi
The Umbre Chi mediate between neophytes and the Samphire. Their identity is expressed through the Alpha, Omega and Chi medallion. Alpha represents beginning, Omega represents ending, and Chi represents rebirth and resurrection. Alpha is enclosed within Omega, while Chi overlays Alpha.
They have four wings covering the body and two wings spreading upwards, making six wings in total. Their wings contain photonic crystals that reflect deep lapis lazuli and can change colour through manipulated light frequencies. Their eyes are deep lapis lazuli mixed with smoky gold, and looking into them produces a sense of mental clarity and contentment.
The Umbre Chi give neophytes Hevena Stones and Golden Ray flowers. They teach meditation, remove self-doubt and help individuals study the divine qualities mastered by Aba Day Loth. They are therefore pastoral guides and initiators.
The Sybarites
The Sybarites, also called sensualists, believe the material plane is the only reality that matters. They reject the spiritual programme of the Ophites and argue that if Khashmal exists, he is evil for creating a world of suffering.
Their speeches draw on the lament of Job. They ask why God gives light to those in misery, why existence is given to those with bitter souls and why beings are allowed to blossom only to be cut off. They argue that the Ophite desire for self-realisation may be a sadistic and impossible burden placed into their genetic makeup.
The Sybarites therefore represent materialist revolt, sensual freedom and resistance to occult or religious ascent. They say those who refuse the flesh are weak and afraid, while the story leaves open the counterargument that surrendering to desire may itself be a form of weakness. They are not simple villains. They are the school that exposes the cruelty and internal conflict of the official religious system.
M.A.S.K.S.
M.A.S.K.S. means Mind-Altering Spiritual Karma School. Its members use masks to conceal their ordinary identity and invite another spiritual Ophite persona or essence to take over.
They use Kava, transcendental meditation and pharmakeia to enter a euphoric trance. Once the wearer has surrendered sovereignty, a new personality may emerge. The wearer may become a king, queen, combined male and female persona, hermaphrodite personality or genderless being.
The masks are secretive and initiatory. They represent concealment, ritual transformation, altered identity and the invitation of another influence into the self. Unlike the Samphire, who burn away the material shroud through divine attributes, the M.A.S.K.S. attempt to replace or reshape the ordinary self through occult identity exchange.
The Honourable Suicide school
This school believes that neither belief in God nor sensual indulgence is the correct way. It rejects both the right-hand and left-hand paths and claims that ritual death alone will reveal the truth.
The story contains a deliberate dark joke in their doctrine. They admit that none of the people who have taken this path has returned to explain what they discovered. Their numbers are therefore dwindling, but they remain undeterred. Their statement that some give their time and others their possessions, while all the school asks is that one give one’s life, is a parody of ordinary religious fundraising and devotion.
They represent the terminal form of salvation through works. Their doctrine turns death into the final ritual achievement and makes itself impossible to test because its successful members cannot return to report whether it worked.
The Catalysts
The Catalysts are priests and priestesses who pursue enlightenment through the dissolution of the ego. They believe the parts of the shroud that burn away become eternal energy, called the Infinite Dynamic or I.D. waters.
They use the sweven, transcendental meditation, divination, crystal scrying and pharmakeia. The sweven produces dreams and visions which the Ophites interpret and record through drawings and paintings. They teach that consciousness is like turbulent water and that the neophyte must learn to calm the storm before attempting to walk upon the water.
Crystal scrying is applied to the forehead, heart and reproductive organs. The forehead reveals the developing consciousness, the heart reveals emotional development and the reproductive organs reveal whether the emerging persona will be male, female or a union of both. The Catalysts therefore treat identity as something that can be viewed, redirected and deliberately fashioned through occult technique.
Achamoth’s Torch Dragons
The Torch Dragons are the school founded and guided by Achamoth. They attempt to merge all the different routes to enlightenment into a single system.
Their amber “lungs” are sensory-deprivation chambers with triangular geometry, blue amber couches, red garnet feet and HIKE inscriptions. HIKE means hallucinogenic interdimensional ketamine expedition. The Torch Dragons use ketamine produced from plant nectar, nature sounds, ocean sounds, rain, heartbeats and psychedelic space music.
They record their experiences through the Golden Bowl, P.E.T., B.R.A.I.N.S. and Polynucleotide synthetic DNA data shards. The Torch Dragons represent the transformation of occult initiation into a technologically mediated system of altered consciousness and recorded revelation.
The Archimedeans
The Archimedeans are Ophites with an exceptional aptitude for mathematics and puzzles. They try to calculate Khashmal’s divine qualities and treat mathematical infinity as evidence of the divine mind.
They argue that infinite divine qualities can exist temporarily within finite mortal beings. Their snowflake example shows how they interpret natural mathematics as a testimony of divine intelligence. They are the school that attempts to reach God not through trance or sensuality, but through calculation, pattern, symmetry and intellectual astonishment.
The Tetramorph
The Tetramorph are a high priestly order built around four faces: serpent, lion, eagle and ox. These faces combine cunning, strength, spiritual vision and endurance. Their four high priests each have four wings and wear red and blue turbans called the blossom flower.
They guard the Temple of the Tetramorph, the Great Wheel, the tenth crystal sphere and the Dragons Spring. They call Khashmal Bythos, meaning the Profound One, and the Godhead of Light. The order is concerned with purification, illumination, sacred water and the preservation of divine knowledge.
The Third Eye Neurotanamus Centre, or T.E.N.
T.E.N. is a later and more technologically dressed Ophite school. Its full name is the Third Eye of the Neuroendocrine Transducer Hypothalamus Centre. It creates a Light Energy Absorption Formulator, L.E.A.F., which is used to produce Hypothalamic Environmental Alternating Light, H.E.A.L.
The system converts light, atmospheric substances, water, carbon dioxide and gases into a fluid carried through the bloodstream towards the brain and pineal gland. Artificial sunlight pulses are then used to influence the pineal gland, hypothalamus, circadian rhythms and nervous system.
T.E.N. is important because it shows the same desire for spiritual transformation returning in pseudo-medical and technological language. The ancient occult promise has become a neuroendocrine treatment, but the goal remains heightened awareness, inner peace, cleansing and altered identity.
Collective Ophite figures and symbolic beings
There are also several important collective or symbolic presences who are not individual ordinary Ophite characters. The neophytes are the ordinary initiates beginning the journey. The 270 Ophites named by the celestial birds are a collective group nearing enlightenment rather than individually developed characters. The Samphire high priests, the Umbre Chi, the Tetramorph guardians and the Torch Dragon apostles likewise function as collective identities.
Khashmal is the supreme deity of the Ophite system, not an Ophite character in the ordinary sense. Sabaoth is the great eagle and intermediary, but he began as Aba Day Loth. The thirty birds with nine heads each are celestial beings associated with the Haoma tree rather than ordinary named Ophites. Their heads represent the nine divine qualities, and their green eye language communicates knowledge to the high priests.
The most complete roster of principal named Ophite individuals is therefore Aba Day Loth, Sabaoth, Achamoth, Za’a’zel, Sabathiel, Echidna, Kolkhis, Oduduwa, Nawkhawsh, Shefeefone, Akshoob, Tsehfah, Thermuthis and Kalos. The major collective groups are the Samphire, Umbre Chi, Sybarites, M.A.S.K.S., Honourable Suicide school, Catalysts, Torch Dragons, Archimedeans, Tetramorph and T.E.N.
Taken together, they are not simply a cast of characters. They are different answers to the same question: how can an Ophite escape the material shroud and reach what lies beyond it? Some answer through obedience and divine qualities, some through sensuality, some through masks, some through death, some through drugs and visions, some through mathematics, some through technology and some through a synthesis of every available path. The civilisation is therefore a cast of competing spiritual programmes embodied as characters, priesthoods and schools.
