which invariably results in triumphant or victory.
This is because, in dealing with every problem of

The addition of a hand (Yod) to Netzach suggest
the practical application of a ripened philosophy.
That state of consciousness is open to those who

B"ri mm living waters. Waters of Life. "The
fountain of Living Waters" [Song of Solomon
4:15]. Used in the Song as a reference to the
Bride, who is also the sister. The Living waters
are the fludic, vibratory energy substance we
find in "Zion"; and they are the beginning and
end of all things, the alchemical AZm. [In its
first state AZm, which is also Terra Adamica
(Adarnic Earth) is the first matter. This is said to
be the "father of metals."] A name for the first
matter identified with IHVH. Jesus used it as a
symbol of the Life directed from within by
guidance from the Hierophant.
In Zion. In Isaiah 28: 16: "Therefore thus
says the Lord God, behold, I lay in Zion for a
foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious
corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes
shall not make haste." Refers to the center of
human personality, the point within, where man
makes contact with the One Reality, designated,
but not defined by the name Jehovah. It is the
place in the midst, which we call the adytum, or
holy of holies. Zion is a Qabalistic name for the
feminine aspect of Yesod. see 1 56.
arrows. Symbols of the direct,
concentrated application of the Life-force, the
entry of intuitive ideas into the mind. Thomas
Paine refers to certain thoughts "entering my
mind like arrows shot from outside", and says he
made it a practice to always pay particular
attention to such mental states. Note that the
ancient form of the letter Beth was an arrow
head. The arrow suggest penetration and the
directness of the concentrated magical will.
to encompass, to choke, strangle, threaten.
The verb "to suffocate" refers to the mystical
death of personality. Death (Nun) by the
construction of the throat (Vav). The total
eradication of the sense of separate personality
before the true Self can be made manifest to
effect the great conjunction "and" (Vav).
Please note that the Norse god Oden hung
himself to receive wisdom. Also note that the
throat is associated with the sign Taurus (and the
letter Vav) which rules the throat associated with
intuition. What is suggested is the death of the
sense of a separate personality must be
eliminated before the True Self can manifest. see

BIJW scales, balances, Chaldee (Aramaic).
Name of the sign Libra and Justice in the Tarot.
Intuition enables one to establish this balance of

eEuilibrium is the basis of the Great Work. see

In Isaiah 40:15: "Behold, the Nations are as the
drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small
dust of the balance: behold, he takes up the isles
as every little thing." Intuition enables one to
establish the balance of Key 11. Libra is under
the same planetary rulership (Venus) as Taurus,
which corresponds to the 16'~ Path. Note the
meaning of "Nations" and that "bucket" suggest
the sign Aquarius (44) and alchemical
dissolution. Meditation and equilibrium are thus
implied.
Jehovah Salvator (Lt). Jehovah Savior. see 1 50.
Quinta Essentia (Lt). Quintessence. 5th essence.
Akin to Azoth and the Hindu Akasha. It stands
