Gematria - Sepher Sapphires Volume 1.pdf

The perfected consciousness and life of an
illuminated man. See Genesis 6:3.
IV. Paul Case: "This number is contained in the
scripture with the seventy years of the ordinary
span of life, mentioned by the Psalmist. The
difference between 120 and 70 is 50, so that we
may say the magical age of 120 years is attained
by adding 50 to the 70 years of ordinary human
experience. The number 50 and 70 are, of course,
symbolic. Fifty is the number of the letter Nun,
symbol of the occult power, which, when
sublimated, leads to illumination. Seventy is the
number of the letter Ayin, whose name means: 1.
the human eye, as organ of vision; and 2.
"outward appearances", or the superficial aspect
of things.
... Now 120 is the theosophic extension, or secret
number, of 15-the sum of the numbers from 1 to
15 inclusive. In relation to the 1 51h key, therefore,
it represents the full expression, or complete
manifestation, of the power represented by The
Devil. So long as we are outsiders, what stands
in our way looks like the Devil. But when we
overcome our terrors, Key 15 represents the
great magical agent, the astral light, truly called
Lucifer, the Son of the Morning. This is our
adversary, because it is the immediate cause of
the manifold appearances which delude the
ignorant. But when we strengthen our vision
with force borrowed from the eagle, we are able
to see through those very same illusion, and then
we are no longer deluded by them." [True &
Invisible Rosicrucian Order, pp. 110, 11 11. see
50, 70.
'3tD7 Resemblance or Imaginative. Referring
to the 24th path on Nun. The first two letters of
the name of the path are Daleth and Mem,
forming, the Hebrew noun for blood. The rest of
the world, "ll', is numerically equivalent to a
Hebrew noun [t'I'3n], meaning "hidden
treasure." This is a hint that the secret of the 24Ih
path has something to do with valuable occult
properties of blood. see 470,44, 68.
7bD Letter name Samekh. tent-peg, prop,
support. As a verb: to prop, to bear up, to
establish, hold or sustain, invigorate. The 251h
Path of Wisdom, linking Tiphareth and Yesod of
the Tree. Representing the purgation and
perfection of personality, to become a pure and
holy habitation (temple) for the One Spirit. The
190
Path of Nun and Samekh are essentially the
same. With different pointing: to lay (hands); to
pack, make close, block.
The 25th Path of Samekh linking Tiphareth to
Yesod is doubly related to Jupiter, because
Samekh is associated with Sagittarius, ruled by
Jupiter. see 10, 80, 536, 800, 162, 186, 600,
1343.
Tb Moph. Memphis; the capital of Egypt.
Sometimes used as a name for Egypt itself.
Mentioned in Hosea 9:6: "Even if they escape
from destruction, Egypt shall gather them and
Memphis will bury them. There treasures of
silver will be taken over by briers, and thorns
will overrun their tents." see 380, 850.
'IpB the time of the decree, appointed time;
festival (half-holiday, intermediate days of
Passover and feast of tabernacles; appointed
meeting, assembly; appointed place; temple,
synagogue; appointed sign, signal; festival
sacrifice. Refers to the time of liberation of
Adam by the Life-power. With different
pointing: muahd: forewarned, an attested danger.
