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 />

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 />
