You "only" facing the quarter, greet the Sun, give the sign and assume the god-form, right?

Jim Eshelman wrote:Going literally out of Liber Resh:
Face the direction of the Sun.
Assume "the God-form of Whom thou adorest."
Give the sign of my grade.
Recite the verse specified.
Give the Sign of Silence.
Recite the adoration handed "taught [me] by [my] Superior," which is Unity etc. while standing in the Sign of Osiris Risen, and concluding again with the Sign of Silence.

Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. [...]

I postulate ultimately mutable things may be understood/categorized in terms of position and relative accelaration, and hence Liber Resh is one point of intersection possibly between a more secular and geometric perspective and Magick.

Dawn
Welcome, O Bast, thou Left Eye of Ra
Flexing thy claws to awake from the night
Welcome, O Sekhmet, thou Right eye of Ra
Yawning and stretching to bring in the light
We greet thee, Bright Ones, from the abodes of night.
Noon
Bright Eye of Ra, burning above
Bast stares down relentlessly
Fierce Eye of Ra, destroyer of shadows
Sekhmet watches patiently
We greet thee, Burning Ones, from the abodes of morning.
Sunset
Magnificent Bast, Left Eye of Ra
Purring into softening light
Majestic Sekhmet, Right Eye of Ra
Relaxing into golden motion
We greet thee, Beautiful Ones, from the abodes of day.
Midnight
The Left Eye of Ra is closed.
Bast hunts.
The Right Eye of Ra is closed.
Sekhmet prowls.
We greet thee, Fierce Ones, from the abodes of evening
No opinion per se, except that it isn't Liber Resh

If I'm wrong then what happens with the God-form when I change my physical posture? When should I release it?

I have problem with assumption of the Khephra god-form (Yea, man with the beetle head is really "CREEEEEEEPY", but it is not the case) I can't understand, how speaks this god? I mean, from what hole?)
Mr. Eshelman, сould you tell, how do you assume this god-form?
