King of Batons

We begin by placing this image in the context of the entirety of the Suit of Batons, focusing the mantra HE WILLS on the region of the solar plexus. The reader is then encouraged to move the first part of the Inner Radiance Sequence, beginning with the mantra “In purest outpoured light radiates the Godhead of the world”, and then working through the chakras from root to crown in relation to the seven Healing Miracles and the seven I AM statements.

We then bring the King of Batons into relation with the 1st Letter of the Divine Alphabet: Aleph; the 1st Arcanum: The Magician; and the quality of “Mysticism.” This finds its radiation in the Tree of Life between the sephira at the heart (Glory) and the crown (Eternity). Those who know the Grail Knight’s Practice can then perform the 1st part: the nine beatitudes; “Hallowed Be Thy Name.”

The Apocalypse readings for the King of Batons come from Chapter 22:14-21:

How blissful are those who wash their robes, so that they shall be given sanction for the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city. Outside are the curs and the sorcerers and the whorish and the murderers and the idolators and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

“I Jesus sent my angel to attest these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.”

And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who thirsts come; let the one who wishes take freely of the water of life.

I testify to everyone who hears the words of this book’s prophecy. If anyone should add to them, God will add to him the calamities that have been written about in this book; and, if anyone takes away from this prophecy’s book, God will take away his share from the tree of life and from the holy city that are written about in this book.

The one who attests these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen, come, Lord Jesus.

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
