second river is the Gihon; it winds through the
entire land of Cush." This land is connected with
Ethiopia or Abyssinia. In Isaiah 18: 1 : "Woe to
the land Shadowing with wings, which is beyond
the rivers of Ethiopia (Cush). A son of Ham in
Genesis 10:6. Cush means "black or dark-
colored" [Ancient Faiths VI, p.4171 Ham is
connected with Kehm or Egypt
(subconsciousness). Gihon is "a stream" Eden is
"time", the garden of delight. The influence from
Kether, which fashions the son of God is seen by
the materialist as the mechanical force (Kaph)
behind manifestation, but (Vav) intuition guides
the seeker to direct knowledge of the secret fire
of regeneration (Shin). The son is conceived in
the "darkness of Egypt" and brought through the
stream of consciousness from time, into the
"Garden of Delight". see 77, 124,702.
I. "Wl2 Chush ... The elemental root &N, which
signifies in general, the igneous principle, being
verbalized by the signs 1 or ' has reduced the
word &'!IN or m; that is to say,3re, physical or
moral: and this word contracted by the
assimilative sign 3, has given rise to the one of
which we are speaking. This name which is
found in the sacred books of the Brahmans, and
whose origin is consequently, very ancient, has
been rendered by that of the Aethi-ops, which is
to say, the sympathetic fire of the globe. All
allegorical names of which Moses makes use
come evidently from the Egyptian sanctuaries."

11. Monitory of Freemasonry (p.33): "A Mason
in the Master Mason ritual asks an old man
whether he has seen any travelers passing by:
"Yes; as I was down near the coast of Joppa (96)
this morning, I saw three, and from their dress
and appearances I supposed them to be men of
Tyre (TX, 296), and workmen from the temple.
They sought a passage to Ethiopia [Cush], but
could not obtain one, in consequence of an
embargo recently laid on the shipping."

and suggest subconscious imbalance, resulting in
negative aspects of qualities: profound, aloof,
taciturn. This expresses in suspicious of the
motives of others, conniving and ruthless
determination for materialistic goals. The second
decanate of Capricorn corresponds to the 4 of
Pentacles, of Chesed, sphere of Jupiter in Assiah,
the material world. This is particularly related to
alchemical earth as the source of all
manifestation. [Here recall that Capricorn is a
cardinal earth sing, ruled by Saturn and with
Mars, the "fire of the Lord" exalted]. In this
context it denotes absence of grasp of the
principles of manifestation in the immediate
present, and is related to the symbol of Mercury
on the devil's belly in Key 15. The self of man is
seen to be dominated by the elements composing
his physical environment.
