pa2 is from P22, to be vaulted or arched,
suggesting the feminine gender. A flower is that
part of a plant in which the reproductive organs
are located, and fr32 is related to the occult
meaning of Mars, which is that force active in
the reproductive power of both sexes.
?I?% Circumcision (Rabbinical word), the sign
of the covenant of union and love, in exoteric
Judaism. For spiritual Israel, there is the
circumcision of the heart by the control of the
emotional nature. In Yod the seed of all the
letters is the secret of the covenant and this secret
is the Peh-Heh, the mouth of the eternal. This is
the true occult meaning of the compass in
Freemasonry: "Learn to circumscribe their
passions and keep their desires within bounds."
Notariqon for "Who shall go up for us to
heaven?" see 95, 67 1, 65 1, 55 and Deuteronomy
30: 12.
I. Yod 'Iti is the seed of all the letters and is the
secret of the Covenant, and this secret is the
Peh-Heh, for ?ID is 85, or TOV, Ha-Yesod, the
Foundation, and 85 is also miylah, the Covenant
which removes concealment from the paternal
Yod.
The physical rite of circumcision does unveil the
paternal Yod, but the Covenant is not its symbol.
What is hidden here goes deeper.
In miylah the first letter is P% (Mem), then
comes Ti (Yod), then T35 (Lamed), and last,
(Heh). Yod and Mem spells 72, which is the
Living Water, transmitting life. Of that life, the
letter Yod at the end of % is the sign, for Yod is
the first letter of ;n;P, the name of the Most
High. Thus Yod stands for Chaiah, the life-force
in Chokmah, and the letters Lamed and Heh
which conclude 35% are referred to Venus
(Nogah) and Mars (Madim) respectively.
The Covenant reveals the paternal Yod in
Chokmah. Yet is the symbol a clue to a fact, for
the cosmic life-force is projected, generation
after generation, into manifestation through
human bodies, and the power of Mars is
combined with that of Venus in the Vital Soul in
Yesod. This is, even now, a closely guarded
practical secret. Even these words are veiled. See
C. 10.
11. Peh represents the Mars force and is a clue to
the meaning of ?I?%, circumcision, which
refers to the masculine aspects of the Life
Power's activity in reproduction. [Paul Case,
unpublished notes]
?ID here, hither. see 549, 226, 876, 95.
m2f;l the hill. In Exodus 17:9: "Tomorrow I
will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of
God in my hand." said Moses to Joshua. This is
the feminine of the masculine noun, Pa], hill
Dominus (Lt). Lord. Latin word for God as the
ruler of the universe. The Latin word used in
translating IHVH and Adonai (65) in the Old
Testament. What is intimated is that what the
human mind formulates in its idea of God is
Lord, is no more than the idea of the agency
where by the absolute sets up the conditions of
name and form, which are the logical necessities
for any manifestation whatever. see 26, 65, 51 8
(Lt).
veritas (Lt). truth. "Truth" has to do with

having form, quality, mass, and other definable
characteristics. see 44 1.
ZeIator (Lt). The zealous one. Corresponds to
1=10 Rosicrucian grade of initiation
corresponding to Malkuth on the Tree of Life,
and the element of Earth. The "Lord of Earth" is
Adonai Melekh. The Zealator is admonished to
keep the fire of aspiration burning in the athanor
or vessel of light, in this quest for truth. see 103,
100, 142, 656, 662.
Scorpio (Lt). Scorpion; the eight sign of the
Zodiac, corresponding to the Hebrew letter Nun,
"seed", Tarot Key 13 Death, i.e. change and
transformation, to alchemical putrefaction, and to
