Yod. The letter Yod is the letter of 3N, the
Father in Chokmah, and dilates upon Chiah. The
secret of Yod has to do with the radiance of the
stars, that is with Light, which is one with Life.
See 27.
~3% fnr a godly seed, seed of God,
offspring of God. Malachi 2: 15: "And did not he
make one [covenant]? Yet had he the residue of
the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might
seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your
spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the
wife of his youth." Literally, seed of God, or
offspring of God. This connects with the
attribution of Yesod to the reproductive organs
of the Grand Man. Brother C.R. is described in
the Fama Fraternitatis as "A seed planted in the
breast of Jesus." Note that the New Testament
says the "seed" is the 'word". see 220, 430, 923,
277,86; 878 (Greek).
ha-Messiach. The Messiah. The Messiah
is the Christ consciousness seated in Tiphareth.
Yesod is the reflection of the Ego in Tiphareth
and is thus of the same essential nature. Note that
the New Testament says the "seed" is the
"word". The serpent is the savior in disguise. see
220, 358, 430.
mtft By (or in) His name, Yah [Psalm
68:4]. The American translation gives: whose
name is Yah. Applied to the rider of the heavens,
described in verse 5 by the word m3V(3),
which, in addition to meaning sky or heaven,
also means desert-plain, wilderness, literally the
vast expanse of the sky. But in verse 33 of the
same Psalm he is called the rider in the heavens
again: DFQW -3 3315 , "Who rides
upon the heavens, the heavens of ancient days,"
(i.e. primordial heavens). P'ljS is the word for
ancient days, or the primordial heavens. It also
means: east, front (as the opposite of back).
m-13 Son of Man. The scripture says Adam
was formed from the 'dust of the ground", and
careless superficial reading of the letter of this
text and others like it, has led to an erroneous
conception that man is a creature essentially
different from his creator. To correct this,
Qabalists add PW and ltnN the noun 13, Ben,
son, in order to bring out the idea that the
essential man is 'begotten, not made'. Humanity
is of the same essence as divinity, 'Man" and
"God' are members of the same genus. As an old
Rosicrucian aphorism puts it: 'Man is the son of
God, and there is no God but man." [TL 26:3]
see 97.
P F 12 A Garden of Eden Eastward. In
Genesis 2:s: "And the Lord God planted a
garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the
man whom he had formed." see 144,53, 124.
rt)nlfi the serpent. Genesis 3:l: "Now the
serpent was more subtle than any beast which the
Lord God made. And he said unto the woman,
'yea, hath God said, you shall not eat of every
tree of the garden?" see 585,358.
H?JDV) Hidden Light. A name of Kether or
alchemical Mercury, the first matter; sattva, "the
illumination material." see 620, 207, 157, 397,
727.
filatft resistance. "The hidden light, veiled in
those forms of manifestation to which man does
not understand, seems to offer resistance to man.
But in itself it is the hidden light, a way and
forever." [The Flaming Cube]
3JBW accusation. With different pointing:
opposition, resistance, hatred, enmity. In Genesis
26:21: "Then they dug another well, but they
quarreled over that one also; so he named it
Sitnah [opposition] see Ezra 4:6.
EW '3% Precious stone. Literally fiery stones,
or stones of fire. [Secret Fire pages 444, 4531.
see 63,301,53.
ft?tm ha-Shatan. Satan; adversary; accuser. The
"Father of Lies". What takes man out of bondage
(the bondage of Egypt) to renewal is mirth-
cosmic joy of the One. see 69 (Lt) and Key 15.
WGB His anointed. Note that "His Anointed"
is numerical equal to "The Satan," as is Messiah
(358) and Serpent. see 358, 890, 526.
