only the word Dm, waters preceded by the sign
of manifestation '. As the word Dm itself, the
following is the history of its formation.
The root rm, ?B or 'D contains the idea of
passive relation, of plastic and creative
movement. The Hebrews as well as the
Chaldeans and Syrians, employed the verb PiD
to express the mutation of things, and their
relative movement. The name which they gave
for water, in general, ... was rarely in the singular,
and as if their sages had wished to show in the
way the double movement which it contains, or
that they know it inner composition, they gave it
almost always the dual number D%, double
waters." [d'olivet, 1976, pp. 41 -42.1
11. F.J. Mayers: "the name seas, Iamim, is exactly
the same as the word of waters with y or ee
prefixed, making the word mean manifested, or
visible waters. This little point, in itself, is quite
sufficient to take the ground from under the feet
of anyone who ever thought that the word
waters, with which we have made so much to do,
referred to water in the ordinary literal
meanings." [The Unknown God, p. 421
111. "A symbol of the astral plane of the desires
and passions ... and the supreme now directs [In
Genesis 1:9, 101 that the waters under the
heaven, that is the astral matter shall be
centralized and coordinated, so that preparation
shall be made for physical matter (dry land) to
appear. And the physical matter is named
'Earth,' which term also stands for the lower
nature of the soul, -the 'natural man', and the
gathering together, of the waters signifies the
formation of the astral 'sea' of desires. And all is
pronounced 'good', that is, perfect in involution
for purposes of forthcoming manifestation
through evolution." [Gaskell, 1981, p. 661 .]
IV. The Zohar [I:33A]: "And the gathering
together of the waters called the seas. This is the
upper reservoir of the waters where they are all
collected and from which they all follow and
issue forth. Rabbi Hiya said: The gathering place
of the waters is the Zaddic (Righteous One),
because it is written in connection with it, And
God saw that is was good, and it is written
elsewhere, in the words he called seas, because
he takes all the streams and sources and rivers
and he is the source of all; hence he is called
waters. Hence it says: And God saw that it was

good. "
V. A double reference to the fact that what is
occultly termed water is the basis of organic

opposites are bound together by the grasp of

%3Bw2 Better by God. Name of the daughter
of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab [Genesis
36:39]. She was the wife of Hadar, a king of
Edom, whose capital city was Pau.
I. Hadar means "Magnificence, propelling,
propulsive." Pau signifies "crying out" (as of a
woman in Labor). Mezahab means: "Water of
gold" or "golden waters." The Zohar interprets
Hadar as the supreme benignity, because 'fl;l,
Hadar, may be written with a dot in Daleth,
doubling that letter, so that the word is really
m, 2 13, the number of 5m ,?&p ?OR,
Chesed Auleah Da-El, the Supernal Mercy of El.
The name of the city, Pau, is said to refer to the
prayer of the man who is worthy of the Holy
Spirit. His "crying out" is heard. Meyhetabel
means "Made better by El" [Zohar]. Thus she is
the feminine working power corresponding to
Chesed. Finally, the name Mezahab am, is
made of 2 words, m: refers to Mercury while
is Gold. [Greater Holy Assembly 993-9961.
11. "The secret of overcoming the modifications
of the mind by their opposite, a secret intimates
by the fact that one side of this wheel ascends as
the other descends, so that opposite and
complementary motions are combined in the
revolution." [Paul Case, unpublished notes]
PL) gullet, throat. In Proverbs 23:2: (1) "When
you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is
before you, (2) and put a knife to your throat if
you are given to gluttony."
"Root not used in Hebrew. The Arabic appears to
express in general, covetous desire, consuming
ardor." [d'olivet, 1976, p. 383.1 Recall that the
throat is connected with Venus, desire and
creative imagination.
