"salvation is of the Jews" because the liberation
men seek is a direct result of what is pictured in
Key 8, where a woman tames a lion. The Tree of
Life is a diagram of the progressive stages in
man's mastery of the serpent fire and of his
attainment of the kingship of messiah. Messiah is
also the "redeemer" and the deliverer of the
lower personality from its bondage to the
elements, for it is the one Ego or higher self. see

Recall the brazen serpent (Nachash) of Moses
that whas lifted up on a T-cross. This was
understood by the early Christians to be a
foreshadowing of the crucifixion of Jesus. Think
of the crucifixion in terms of a renewal in
relation to the word makhodash, and its
connection with the 26th path of Ayin connecting
Hod and Tiphareth.
Nachash means copper, the metal of Venus, and
the door of the vault of Brother C.R. is attributed
to Venus. The Perfect Way says about Satan is
the keeper of the Keys of the Sanctuary ["Satan
is the doorkeeper of the temple of the king: he
stands in Solomon's Porch; he holds the Keys of
the sanctuary; that no man may enter therein
save the anointed, having the arcanum of
Hermes ..."I
mlN Of men. In Daniel 4: 17 it is a reference
is to the Kingdom of men. Only man has the
capacity to create mentally. That capacity is both
the source of sin and salvation.
fl% KP Shiloh shall come, peace shall come.
A mystical expression in Genesis 49: 10 referring
to the coming of the Redeemer, or Messiah. We
begin in bondage (Key 15) which has Time
(Saturn, Key 21) for its primary condition.
Please note that for 4 fixed signs of the zodiac
shown in the comers of the Key 21 symbolize
time. As we perform the Great Work we reach a
point of peace. Key 21 is a symbol sf the
completion of the Great Work and the mastery of
the forces and govern the Universe. see 345. 71 3.
J shame. It is past sins in earlier lives that
cause shame in relation to the Mars force and its
bodily activities. "Shame has more to do with the
renewal of consciousness than may appear at
first. It is with some understanding of this that
evangelical churches put so much stress on
'conviction of sin.' When one is thoroughly
disgusted with one's own state, or with one's
circumstances, it seems to be easier to make the
required effort to begin afresh." [Case, 1985, p.

I. "In other Old Testament Books [Job, 1
Chronicles, Psalm, Zechariah], the term likewise
designates an office; and the angel investing that
office is not apostate or fallen. He becomes such
starting in early new Testament times and
writings, when he emerges as Satan (Capital S),
the prince of evil and enemy of God, and is
characterized by such titles as 'Prince of this
world' (John 16: 1 I ) and 'Prince of the Power of
the Air' [Ephesians 2:2]. When Peter was
rebuked by Jesus, he was called Satan in Luke
43. Reading back into Genesis, medieval writer
like Peter Lombard ... saw Satan in the guise of
the serpent tempting eve, although other writers,
like the 9th century bishop Agobard, held that
Satan tempted Eve through the serpent. As
Langton say in Satan, A Portrait: 'In the later
Jewish literature, Satan and the serpent are either
identified, or one is made the vehicle of the
other.' Originally, Satan (as ha-Satan) was a
great Angel, chief of the Seraphim, head of the
order of virtues. While Seraphim were usually
pictured as 6-winged, Satan was shown as 12-
winged. Gregory, the great in his Moralia, after
listing the nine hierarchic order, pays this tribute
to Satan: 'He wore all of them [all the angels] as
a garment, transcending all in glory and
knowledge."' [Dictionary of Angels, p. 26 11
