There are multiple parts to the doctrine/practice of Icharism. The
second part of the doctrine focuses around the "divine self" or what I sometimes refer to as "the sleeping self". This practice is the art of connecting with one's own divine being, that is unawakened, this being is where all the knowledge, and power of the individual is located. I refer to this as the "sleeping self", because the individual's consciousness is not with that being, it is in the vessel of flesh and blood that walks the Earth. This is because the divine either cannot set a physical presence upon the Earth (or perhaps no planet), or possibly just choose not to, as their influence is present without their physical bodies. One can view their fleshly vessel as a physical apparition, however, this body regardless, is still merely mortal, and when dead, the conscious essence will return to its sleeping body. Although one cannot obtain divine consciousness on any world, the divine subconsciousness can be accessed, provided that one creates the appropriate rituals, plus the time and practice is put into it, and when done, you can find a whole lot more about yourself, that your mortal body could never have imagined. My divine being "The Black Widow", is referred to by the name "Ekinog" in Uixtaric, or "Ek' Inoc" in Huitztec (for now we will use Ekinog), and is who I connect with to write my works, as well as to perform much of my rituals and other practices within the Arachnomicon, as well as my discoveries. More information will be given on her later. However, upon every statement on the part within the doctrine, one must not mistake this for "humanism", as "humanism" is in my personal opinion a cancer that worships the mortal embodiment as being "godly". There is no part of Icharism that views the mortal body as such. In the doctrine of Icharism, the mortal body serves the purpose of obtaining knowledge, power, growths, and other
desires to obtain initiations, and is to be discarded when the time is
correct, because after such has been accomplished, there is no further use for it. The connection is primarily made by one being centered, aligning all 10 points of meditation (you read correctly, there are 10 points, not 7). A perfect alignment cannot be made if the individual is in spiritual flux. Icharism is a doctrine of balance, such as that one must maintain a balance between the gods, and their divine self, as not only Icharism, but all forms of Occult focuses on building up the divine self in one way or another. This is because of the demand for balance, but also because we are born of the gods, and their power stimulates the power that we inherit from birth, and this power is not only used to connect with the gods themselves, but with our divine beings, which sleep and dream for the day that the consciouss essence will return to it. We know this essence as the "Soul". "Ekinog" is generally only worked with in Icharism, and represents many different things. For example, she is a representation of the power of women, and her venom represents the overcoming of obstacles. "Ekinog" is born of the union of Lilith and Samael.
