Praeterhuman

A word coined by The Abrahadabra Institute, a metaphysical thinktank, in 2000 to describe humans with reach deep into themselves and outside of themselves to interact with a theoretical network of consciousness embedded within an unknown medium.

The word was coined to describe Ningishzidda as a possible identity for the mysterious *Aiwass* whom Aleister Crowley encountered in 1904 where the intelligence communicated Liber al Vel Legis via apparition and through the acting priestess, Rose Kelly, Crowley's wife.

"The Voice of Aiwass came apparently from over my left shoulder, from the furthest corner of the room. It seemed to echo itself in my physical heart in a very strange manner, hard to describe. I have noticed a similar phenomenon when I have been waiting for a message fraught with great hope or dread. The voice was passionately poured, as if Aiwass were alert about the time-limit ... The voice was of deep timbre, musical and expressive, its tones solemn, voluptuous, tender, fierce or aught else as suited the moods of the message. Not bass – perhaps a rich tenor or baritone. The English was free of either native or foreign accent, perfectly pure of local or caste mannerisms, thus startling and even uncanny at first hearing. I had a strong impression that the speaker was actually in the corner where he seemed to be, in a body of "fine matter," transparent as a veil of gauze, or a cloud of incense-smoke. He seemed to be a tall, dark man in his thirties, well-knit, active and strong, with the face of a savage king, and eyes veiled lest their gaze should destroy what they saw. The dress was not Arab; it suggested Assyria or Persia, but very vaguely. I took little note of it, for to me at that time Aiwass was an "angel" such as I had often seen in visions, a being purely astral." - Aleister Crowley

The word became expressed (although according to m1thr0s, not for the first time) at Abrahadabra.com, on the forums, in December 2000 by m1thr0s to find a correlation between the axiom "There Is No God but Man", Aiwass and the Sumerian deity Ningishzidda whose number in AIQ BKR, the Kabbalah of the Nine Chambers system, was discovered to equal 418, the same sum as Abrahadabra, and furthermore contained 11 letters. m1thr0s heard the name in a dream in 1979 but didn't come across it again until 1999 where he heard it in a coffee shop in Seattle (The Last Exit) and brought it home to discuss it on the (now defunct) occultforums.com.

It was theorized then as it is now that the mysterious Aiwass was a "Secret Chief" of Ningishzidda and this theory was used to explain the apparent discord between Crowley and The Book of the Law, which spent most of its early years in a rubbish heap according to Crowley himself.

The word "praeterhuman" was later expanded to encompass not only these superhuman intelligences that communicated encrypted documents and inspired humanity, but all examples of Homo sapiens sapiens expressing a transition into a subspecies known as Homo sapiens astralus, a word coined by Izi Ningishzidda, m1thr0s' wife. The emerging subspecies of Homo sapiens astralus, and the intelligence of other non-human *consciousness stars* interacting with humans via unidentified means is what is described by the word praeterhuman.
