What is "the Great Work"

I keep reading it everywhere but nobody elaborates on what it is. Can you guys at least point me to some books to help figure it out?

Also magick/occult general I guess

Well that's "accurate". But more specifically it's to create a "god" and then use his image to change the entire human race.

Western esotericism is based on the hermetic kabbalah, once you learn it, and all of it's functions you will be able to; read and understand tarot, understand and use alchemy, be able to make talismans, understand astrology, astral project and travel and understand each Sephirah, with kether being god. Read Dion Fortune's Mystic Kabbalah for a basic understanding, 777 by Crowley as a reference point, anything by Fraternity Achad will help you remember and understand it better too. After you remember the entire tree, and it's four different levels, talismans, astrology and tarot will be easy. Read as much as you can, and remember a lot of it is abstract, keep a journal to make notes and drawings.

The great work is exactly what it is. It's the megalith of existence, unknowable in the sheer vastness of what it is.

Remember that there are very few set rules to associate your personal symbols with the paths and sephirot making up the Qaballah. It's a map for existence in the now, and for making decisions in your life based upon the symbols surrounding it that you have assigned. Nothing happens by coincidence, just read the signs and life almost becomes like a really complex game of rock, paper, scissors.

The difference is that the game is rigged.

I've been reading about the kaballah recently. Is the Great Work an attempt to understand or connect with God the unknowable?

From my limited understanding on the matter, my interpretation is this; the great work is understanding all things, our place and how to manipulate and understand it all. God, matter, our spirit and how it is all related. As above so below. Read and understand the kabbalah.

Don't just read about it. Get into the nitty gritty of the synchronicity and don't forget to brush up on the quantum sciences. Hermeticism both agrees with discoveries in quantum physics (the universe doesn't "exist" unless you're looking at it,) shakes hands with white and black magical practice, predates modern Christianity and foretells it's rise to prominence.

It truly is all about belief and what makes sense to YOU in regards to it. You will cross paths with the serpent. Sometimes you'll cross paths with him and be enemies, at times you'll be old friends. You may see the face of god and he will not be where you expected him. Know that it is simply all meant to be.

I love studying the Qaballah and its given me a lot of insight as to myself and the people around me. Not directly, but by comparing stories, symbols, events and people.

This is the Great Work. Everything. Creations of the Great Architect.

Man is sent to earth to make a Great Work of his own. His Magnum Opus or Opera Magna. Only then will he achieve godly status and break free from the life and death cycle.

It usually counts with 4 stages.
Nigredo (Black) --> Albedo (White) --> Citrinitas (Yellow) --> Rubedo (Red)
Rubedo is perfection. Once you reach Rubedo you've completed your Great Work.

Where can one find more about the geometries and symbology? I think it's absolutely essential to understand the basic core language behind a practice. I see people getting occult tattoos and yet they don't know what they mean. It couldn't translate to "I eat sheep shit for good omens" and they wouldn't know.

Oh, hey, you guys discussing Kabbalah?

Do you know if there's anywhere you can download the 23-volume Zohar in english? Preferably Michael Berg's translation, but the Pritzker edition would be fine too.

Either DDL or torrent would be fine. Or XDCC.

Huh. Looks like a different translation. But I do appreciate it.

Michael Berg's translation is the only one I knew was the full 23 volumes, though it has some flack for being more new-age than jewish. It's published by The Kabbalah Center.

Then there's the Daniel Matt translation published by Pritzker, which apparently is superb, but is being slowly translated and there's only 8 volumes published by now (the ninth comes out next year. The first one came out... let's see... on '03).

The one you gave me... I don't know who translated it, possibly Michael Laitman or Yehuda Ashlag, but I believe it was published by kabbalah.info. The introduction to the book of zohar appears to be, but the books themselves don't have any credits, so I don't know. Also, I don't know if it's got the same books as the other two, but it looks like it's a great resource even if it doesn't.

In any case, really appreciate it. Thanks, man.

Dimensional bridging? I'm not entirely sure yet. I think it's along the lines of exiting this dimension or birthing a new dimension to occupy. Or, opening this dimension for the occupation of greater beings, sort of like a great self-sacrifice.

Some pretty good answers ITT.

A) Reading Eliphas Levi, Book 1 Dogma et Rituel details level Haute, and he made some allusions to the great work being the philosopher's stone.

B) As with everything occult, the philosopher's stone could be something material, or it could be a metaphor for a state of mind.

C) In most occult texts reoccurring themes and references, such as the microcosm and macrocosm, as so above as so below, and the great work. The first two are referring to the hermetic kabbalah, and are implying that the kabbalah makes us up, makes states up, and shapes god, that we're a reflection of God and understanding the kabbalah is understanding all Western esotericism. That would imply that understanding the kabbalah, is the basis to alchemy. Maybe the philosopher's stone is a metaphor for achieving Kether and using magik.
