The
Kabbalah:
To become
active and creative, Body emanated ten Sephiroth or intelligence's.
A special prominence is given to one of these emanations which functions
as a female principal. This is the final emanation the Queen, the physical
manifestation in the Universe. She is the Divine Woman.
There is no written Book of the Kabbalah although many books have been
written about it. Historically in reference the Kabbalah is the Wisdom
itself or Spirit, Soul and Body. Everything in the whole Universe.
What
is the Kabbalah:
And where does it
originate? These questions have puzzled the minds of many scholars in
the past and still continue to puzzle many in the present, especially
those who endeavor to fix and tabulate the Ancient Wisdom.
One declares, repeating the information given in a very old manuscript,
that this wisdom was given by God himself to a company of angels. Esoterically
speaking he may be correct if he thinks of an Avatar in the place of
a personal God., and of Masters instead of Angels. Another declares
the Kabbalah, or rather that part of it comprised under the tile Zohar,
is the work of Simeon ben Yochai, who lived at the time of the destruction
of the second Hebrew Temple. Others declare it is a modern invention
and the work of Moses de Leon.
All seem to forget that the Kabbalah itself being the expression of
Cosmic Truth, can have had to actual beginning, but must be as eternal
as Truth itself!
Veiled in the teachings of the Kabbalah or the vehicle for Divine Wisdom,
it is eternal for it is the means of manifesting the knowledge stored
up in the memory of Nature.
This Ether of space is a veritable picture gallery or rather a cinematograph
which when wound up by the initiated seer, shows picture after picture
of the Past. These pictures are the true memory of Nature impressed
upon Ether of Akasha, just as human memory of the past is impressed
upon the matter of mans brain.
HIstory:
Adam received a
Babbalistic book from the angel Raziel and through this wisdom he was
enabled to overcome the grief of his fall and to regain dignity. The
Book of Raziel was handed down to Solomon, who by its power subdued
earth and hell. The book Yetzirah is attributed to Abraham; but the
prevalent Jewish opinion is that on Sinai, Moses received the key of
how to interpret mystically the Scriptures.
Oral Traditions were heeded by priests of many nations.
We
see it hidden in the ancient writings of South America in the temples
and on the stones and monuments of Egypt in sacred writings the world
over in Sanskrit in Greek in Latin and in Chinese. It is found in ny
sacred writing which is truly sacred one which is capable of teaching
Truth to man.
Found in the Vedas and upon the papyri of the Priests of Egypt on the
stones of Assyria and Babylon, in the writings of the ancient Persians
and Sassanians and in all countries. In Peru and in other part of America,
in China and in Japan and throughout Asia, Africa, Europe and Australia.
Everywhere traces of this great ancient wisdom are found.
The Book of Zohar is said to have originated with Rabbi Simeon ben Yochai.
IN the book it is said to have been discovered in a cavern where it
had lain for many years where supposedly Moses de Leon found some old
manuscripts.
This history of books is not important; it is "The Thing-in-Itself"
which maters.
The ancient races preserved the remembrance of a primitive book, written
in hieroglyphs by Sages. The book was attributed by the Hebrews to Enoch,
seventh master of the world after Ad am,; by the Egyptians to Hermes;
and by the Greeks to Cadmus, the mysterious builder of the HOly City.
The book was the symbolical summary of all primitive tradition called
simply called the Kabbalah, meaning 'reception."
The ancients believed that equilibrium is the universal law in physics
and follows the apparent opposition of two forces, argued from physical
to metaphysical equilibrium.
The First Living and Active Cause are stability and motion, necessity
and liberty, rational order and volitional autonomy, justice and love,
whence also severity and mercy.
According to the Kabbalah this is the ground work of all religions and
all sciences - triple triangle and a circle. The notion of the triad
was explained by the balance multiplied by itself in the domains of
the ideal. From it came the realization of this conception in symbolic
forms

The
Sephiroth :.
The idea of numbers was attached:
1.
The Crown, the equilibrating g power (Kether)
2. Wisdom, equilibrated in its unchangeable order by
the initiative of intelligence (Chokmah)
3. Active Intelligence, equilibrated by Wisdom (Binah)
4. Mercy, which is Wisdom in its secondary conception,
ever benevolent because it is strong (Chesed)
5. Severity, necessitated by Wisdom itself, and by
good will. To permit ever is to hinder good (Geburah)
6. Beauty, the luminous conception of equilibrium in
forms, intermediary between the Crown and the Kingdom, the mediating
principle between Creator and Creation, or a sublime conception of poetry
and its sovereign priesthood (Tifereth)
7. Victory, the eternal triumph of intelligence and
justice (Nesah)
8. Eternity, the conquests achieved by mi d over matter,
active over passive, life over death (Hod)
9. Foundation, the basis of all belief and all truth,
the Absolute in philosophy (Yesod)
10. The Kingdom, the Universe, the entire Creation
the work and mirror of God the proof of all supreme reason the formal
consequence which compels us to have recourse to virtual premises, the
enigma which has God for its answer. Supreme and Absolute Reason (Malkuth)
Supreme
Intelligence:
God may only be
a hypothesis, but he is an hypothesis imposed by good sense on true
human reason. Necessity, liberty and reason. There are the great supreme
Triad. Fatality, will and power.
Fatality is the inevitable sequence of causes and effects in their determined
order. Will is the directing faculty of in intelligent forces for the
necessity of life. Power is wise application of that will and the forces
of nature are at the disposal of those who know how to control them.
Faith or aspiration towards the infinitive the noble
self-reliance sustained by confidence in all virtues (the faith which
in weak natures may degenerate into pride) is represented by the Sun.
Hope the enemy of avarice is represented by the Moon
Charity is opposition to luxury is represented by Venus
Strength superior to wrath is represented by Mars
Prudence hostile to idleness, is represented by Mercury
Temperance is opposed by gluttony is represented by
Saturn
Justice in opposition to envy is represented by Jupiter
Wisdom:
Thoughts un translated
into speech are lost to humanity
Words unconfirmed by acts are only idle words
Thoughts formulated into speech and confirmed by acts constituent a
good work or a crime.
Hence in either vice or virtue there is no utterance for which we are
not responsible. Curses and blessings invariable produce their consequences.
Every action whatever its nature whether inspired by love or hate has
its effects analogous to its motives and its extent and its direction.
Reason has been given to all men, but all do not know how to make use
of it. It is a science to be acquired. Liberty is offered to all, but
not all men are free. It is a right that must be earned. We attain nothing
without more than one effort. The destiny of man is to be enriched by
his own earning. AFterwards he is to have the glory and pleasure of
dispensing it.
Scientific
Methods:
Basis of all scientific
research is the trinity of time, space and matter, which are themselves
mental conceptions. Man can never think of anything except as it is,
was or will be. Likewise we can never think of anything which does not
occupy any space at all which is devoid of all matter.
Atomic consciousness needs no support to substantiate the operation
of interior sight. It works on the formless plane and its experiences
are so far removed from our earthly ones that any terms we amy use for
their description must be inadequate.
Imperfection does not detract from Excellence of the master. The insufficiency
of temporary channels does not lessen the fullness of the eternal fountain.
The shortness of our sight and the narrowness of our horizon leave untouched
the limitlessness of the Divine Wisdom.
These truths were known to all initiates of ancient times. They are
now being revived and proclaimed to a doubting world. They are all founded
upon the same principle on which the Cosmos itself is founded - LOVE!
Love is the motive power of all that lives and breathes, must be the
guiding star of every disciple who ha entered and is making progress
upon the Path.
Only Faith Hope and Love can save the disciple from
destruction. His enemies are many and mighty and their number and their
power keep increasing as he nears his goal.
The Whole Universe
Is one homogeneous whole and that we being members of the whole serve
our ends best by living for others. Sacrifice, therefore is the highest
form of life and self renunciation, the highest form of self realization.
