moon, month. It is the Sanskrit name for a<br />

measure of weight. It refers to man, the<br />

measurer, and is directly connected with the 6 of<br />

Cups as the seat of the distinguishing,<br />

discriminating faculty of the Ego. It also refers to<br />

the mysterious food of the Children of Israel<br />

during their years of wandering in the<br />

Wilderness in Exodus 16: 15. The fall of Fire and<br />

Water from the Heavens is our true source of<br />

Sustenance. The sweet "salt dew of heaven" is<br />

the purified body of the adept which actually has<br />

a sweet savor and odor. In Exodus 16: 15: "And<br />

when the Children of Israel saw it, they said one<br />

to another, it is Manna, for they know not what it<br />

"This root, composed of the sign of exterior and<br />

passive action, united by contraction to the root<br />

fN, symbol of the sphere of activity and of the<br />

circumscriptive extent of being, characterizes all<br />

specification, all classifications by exterior<br />

forms; all figuration, determinate, definition,<br />

qualification.<br />

The kind of things, their exterior figure, image,<br />

that is conceived; the idea that is formed, the<br />

definition that is given to it; their proper<br />

'8. mouth of. In Deuteronomy 8:3: He humbled<br />

you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you<br />

with manna, which neither you nor your fathers<br />

had known, to teach you that man does not live<br />

on bread alone but on every word from the<br />

mouth of TB]the Lord P I . [Not on the bread<br />

does the man live, but on every thing from the<br />

mouth of Yahweh the man lives.] In this<br />

connection note that in Revelations 12:15: Then<br />

out of his mouth [ozopazoS] the serpent [o oqyl<br />

spouted forth water [u6op] like a flood after the<br />

woman, the she might be carried off with the<br />

Semitic root meaning "unity" and refers to the<br />

creative power of the One Thing. The white<br />

pillar, the pillar of mercy of the Tree of Life has<br />

the same underlying significance as "Yod<br />

Tetragrammaton". On the Tree of life, the pillar<br />

of the sephiroth whose numbers 2, 4, and 7 add<br />

to 13, the number of unity and love. The magic<br />

of light or theurgy (God-working) depends on<br />

recognition of the One-ness of all, and is based<br />

on knowledge that it is essentially love. The<br />

pillar of establishment Solomon set before the<br />

porch of the temple, and which is the royal secret<br />

(silence) of the life-powers reign. In Masonry<br />

Jakin means "He will establish". see 740 and 1<br />

Kings 7:2 1.<br />

35 the heart of the stone, the stoney<br />

heart. In Ezekiel 1 1: 19: "I will give them sn<br />

undivided [one] heart, and put a new spirit in<br />

them; I will remove from them their stony heart<br />

heart" is a symbol of the sense of separateness<br />

pictured by the tower in Key 16.<br />

adjective 5 , kellawl, signifying "whole,<br />

complete." Resh is associated with the 3oth path<br />

of the Collective Intelligence, and this has to do<br />

with the completion of the Great Work in the<br />

production of the new creature, evolved from the<br />

natural man by the Life-power, working through<br />

the mental, emotional and physical activities of a<br />

human personality. The Collective Intelligence is<br />

more than a mere aggregate. It does include the<br />

sum-total of all modes of conscious life, but it<br />

transcends when it includes. see 510, 250, 640,<br />
