The outcome of such action is the establishment<br />

of order. Putting things in order is, in fact, the<br />

great secret of human achievement. No matter<br />

what you do, before you can succeed you must<br />

get rid of disorder somewhere. The more<br />

recondite significance of Cheth is related to the<br />

doctrine that this letter is a sign of elementary<br />

existence. The word 'elementary' as used by<br />

Fabre D'Olivet, means rudimental. What he<br />

speaks of is what the alchemist called their first<br />

matter, or chaos. The latter word implies<br />

disorder, Webster defines it as 'the confused,<br />

unorganized state of primordial matter before the<br />

creation of distinct and orderly forms! [The<br />

V. "This character can be considered under the<br />

double relation of vowel or consonant. As vocal<br />

sound it is the symbol of elementary existence<br />

and represents the principle of vital aspiration: as<br />

consonant it belongs to the guttural sound and<br />

represents the field of man, his labor, that which<br />

demands on his part any effort, care, fatigue. As<br />

grammatical sign it holds an intermediary rank<br />

between ?I, life, absolute existence, and 2, life,<br />

relative and assimilated existence. It presents<br />

thus, the image of a sort of equilibrium and<br />

equality, and is attached it ideas of effort, labor,<br />

and of normal and legislative action." [d'olivet,<br />

1976, pp. 345-346.1<br />

VI. "Hhayt, is the sphere of storage of all<br />

undifferentiated energy, or unstructured<br />

substance. It expresses the most unevolved state<br />

of energy, as opposed to its achieved freedom in<br />

Zayn." [Suraes, 1992, p. 63.1<br />

VII. Cheth, means a 'fence', 'vallum' or 'wall'; it<br />

is the Veil enclosing the Graal, the curtain<br />

concealing the Holy of Holies. This is also the<br />

mystical Veil of Paroketh (Paro-cheth) which<br />

was rent asunder the moment that deity became<br />

active and uttered the Word in oracles of<br />

thunder. Cheth, spelt in full, is 418, the number<br />

of Abrahadabra which signifies the uniting of the<br />

positive and negative currents, the<br />

accomplishment of the Great Work. [Grant,<br />

'1N into that place, there; at that time; therefore.<br />

A demonstrative particle which originally meant<br />

"in that place, there." From this basic meaning,<br />

transferred to time, it came to mean "at that time,<br />

then," and was used in reference to both past and<br />

future. Awz is used in Hebrew as "then" is<br />

employed English to indicate a casual<br />

relationship, like "therefore," or "on that<br />

account." All meanings of the word imply<br />

relationship, and designate some tie or<br />

connection of thought or activity between this<br />

place and that, this time and that (whether<br />

considered as being the cause of this event, or an<br />

effect or consequence yet to come. Additional<br />

meanings: whether, also, if.<br />

"This root designates a fixed point in space or<br />

duration; a measured distance. It is expressed in<br />

a restricted sense by the adverbial relations there<br />

or then. The Arabic characterizes a sort of<br />

locomotion, agitation, pulsation, bubbling<br />

movement. As a verb it has the sense of giving a<br />

principle; of founding. The Chaldaic NW<br />

expresses a movement of ascension according to<br />

which a thing is placed above another in<br />

consequence or this specific gravity. [d'olivet,<br />

1976, p. 29 1 .]<br />

117 to go softly, to creep along, to flow gently;<br />

as wine poured carefully from a wineskin.<br />

Derived from it is the negative meaning, "to<br />

slander to disparage," based on the idea of the<br />

sneaky, creeping progress of a tale bearer. There<br />

is here also some hint of the serpent symbolism<br />

associated with Hermes. see 15, 2080, 2 17, 412,<br />

TI the breast (of women) as the seat of love.<br />

Self-consciousness is the aspect of mental<br />

activity which makes possible the higher aspects<br />

of love and affection. It makes man able to relate<br />

cause and effect. It is what makes him a time-<br />

binder, uniting past and present and future. With<br />

different pointing: nipple, teat, nipple of citrus<br />

fruit; tap.<br />

"Every idea of abundance, and division; of<br />

propagation, effusion and influence; or sufficient<br />

reason, aff~nity and sympathy. That which is<br />

divided in order to be propagated; that which<br />

acts by sympathy, affinity, influence, literally<br />

717 Action of acting by sympathy and by<br />

aflnity; action of attracting, pleasing, loving;<br />

suflcing mutually. In a broader sense, a chosen<br />

attracted; every sympathetic and electrifLing<br />
