Wherefore? Because the form of the man is not
as yet constituted. What is the reason of this?
Because the constitution of man contains all
things under this form, and in that from all things
disposed. And because that constitution of Adam
was not as yet found, they (the Edomite Kings)
could not subsist, nor be conformed, and they
were destroyed. Have they then been abolished,
and are all these included in the (the supernal)
man? For truly they were abolished that them
might be withdrawn from form, until there
should come forth the representation of Adam.
But when that form is configurated, they all
exist, and have been resorted in another
condition." [Mathers, 1993, pp. 175- 1761
11. The name of a City of Edom which is the
shadow of the City of the Pyramids (Binah) in
the Desert of Set Its pylon, Daath, is the shrine of
that Sacred Head (the Eighth) which the
Templars adored under the image of Baphomet,
the God of the Eightfold Name, Octinomos.
[Grant, 1994, p. 32.1
n32 hidden, secret. See "hidden light" (273).
777-11 Ben-David. son of David.
I. "The builders of the temple, then, must be 'the
Son of David';. ... David is the English from of
of the Oriental 'Duad,' which means 'Beloved,'
and the Builder is therefore the Son of the
Beloved. David is called in Scripture "the man
after God's own heart," a description exactly
answering to the name; and we therefore find
that Solomon the Builder is the son of the man
who has entered into that reciprocal relation with
"God" or the Universal Spirit, which can only be
described as Love." [Troward, 1942, p. 123 .] see
375,52, 14,771 (Greek).
Aurora (Lt). Dawn. "The Chaldean word for
dawn is 1DlDW. In Daniel 6:l; this word,
prefixed with the letter Beth is translated "in the
morning" ["Then the King arose very early in the
morning, and went in haste unto the den of
lions"] It is written mDWW1, the final Aleph
indicates that the word is definite, emphatic.
There is a mystery here for this is a the Hebrew
text is permutated. The first Peh is written much
smaller that the other letters; and the second Peh
is written much larger than the other letters. This
method is call permutation." see 860.

Biagenos (Lt). A Rosicrucian mountain; life-
giving, generating, strength.
granum (Lt). A seed. In the Fama, brother CR is
called "Granum Pectori Jesu Insitum," A seed
planted in the breast of Jesus. The inner meaning
has to do with Jesus own saying: "The seed is the
word." Note that both "dawn" and "seed" imply
the first stage of development. see 310, 95, 50,
99 (Lt).
Aurum (Lt). Gold. see 14, 109,246 (Lt).

I. The womb of the mother containing the twins.
[Crowley, 1977, p. xxv].
31'1 Binah. Understanding, the third Sephirah.
Sometimes Binah is translated as "Intelligence."
This must not be confused with saykel (350),
which is the more general term for intelligence,
or more accurately, for consciousness.
I. The fundamental meaning of Binah is the
power of separation, the ability to distinguish
truth from falsehood, and the power to adapt
means to ends. Thus it is the mental ability to
distinguish one thing from another which is the
basis for understanding.
Binah is both the dark sterile Mother, Ama
and WH Aima, the bright, pregnant Mother.
This aspect of Reality is the matrix of all
possible specialized forms of expression. Ama
represents this aspect of Being prior to the
beginning of a cycle of the Life-power's
self-manifestation. Aima is the fertile womb
from which flow forth all forms made manifest
during such a cycle of the Life-power's
self-expression.
Binah is called Shabbathai, the Sphere of Saturn,
because every appearance of special,
particularized manifestation necessitates limits of
quantity, quality, mass, form, etc. In the
astrological terminology of Ageless Wisdom, the
contracting, limiting power is called Saturn.
Note, in this connection, that the birth of living
creatures results from contraction of the womb
