This noun is particularly connected with the
letter Samekh. This is the path of Temptation or
Trial, and it is because the tests of our faith and
devotion, when misunderstood by ourselves and
others, appear to be manifestations of the Divine
Wrath. The "wrath" is for our good, for our
growth and development. Thus those who
understand it see in the "wrath" of God the
expression of His Perfect Law. Vibration is the
basis of manifestation is essentially like sound-
fluctuating motion, undulation, pulsation,
alternation, taking wave-forms. see 536.

King of Eglon (the calf-like, one who gambols).
The name of this king is derived from the
Hebrew noun which means "word" (137 word,
saying, statement; report, news, thing, matter,
affair; occurrence, event; order, command;
cause, case, something, anything.) Debir is a
symbol of worldly wisdom based on outward
show and appearance. He rules a kingdom
described as "calf-like" in reference to the same
notion of immature conduct symbolized
elsewhere by he golden calf. The kingdom of
Eglon is a symbol of the puerility which
characterizes the conduct of those whose only
standards of action conform to worldly,
materialistic wisdom. Joshua, who overcame
these kings, is the realization that the nature of
the one reality is eternally on the side of
273
liberation. The five kings, on the contrary,
represent the psychological basis of very
tyranny. The killing of the kings and their armies
is really transmutation. see 159 Eglion and 259

command of the Exorcist he puts on the image of
a man. His office is to discover all things, past,
present, and to come; also to give dignities, and
prelacies, and the favor of friends and of foes. He
gives true answers of divinity, and of the creation
of the world. He is very faithful unto the

Auxiliante Deo et Natura (Lt). aiding God and
