Can the whole thing be brought back up somehow (to finish the job)? Can the contact be redeemed?
Should he fail, by will or weakness, to make his self-annihilation absolute, he is none the less thrust forth into the Abyss... he remains in the Abyss, secreting his elements round his Ego as if isolated from the Universe, and becomes what is called a “Black Brother.” Such a being is gradually disintegrated from lack of nourishment and the slow but certain action of the attraction of the rest of the Universe, despite his now desperate efforts to insulate and protect himself, and to aggrandise himself by predatory practices. He may indeed prosper for a while, but in the end he must perish, especially when with a new Aeon a new word is proclaimed which he cannot and will not hear, so that he is handicapped by trying to use an obsolete method of Magick, like a man with a boomerang in a battle where everyone else has a rifle.

The male adherents of Cybele famously castrated themselves as a sacrifice to their goddess, but I doubt many of them had reached 7=4 by then.

Oh yeah, that's me... I just couldn't let go of a certain aspiration/"ideal" (although there were all sorts of peculiar messages from the universe clearly pointing that I SHOULD let go of it NOW, i guess), so I got stuck and eventually withered.
Nicely put.
Did you eventually let go of it and felt the angel return to you? Not that it actually goes away but it feels like that...
Seeing you guys and gals speak about the Abyss like that, I have a question if I may:
have you crossed it already?
If so, would you be willing to elaborate a bit on the subject, please?

There is a special category newly set aside under the recent review of the DSM that deals with ‘spiritual problems’ that I believe we can use to get funding for such an effort.
