He continues in his notebook, From Day to Day,
March 12, 191 6: "Jesus is pr Jehovah is ?!'!?l'.
Thus Jesus and Jehovah, in Hebrew are identical
in respect to the first and third letters, but
different in respect to the 2"d and 4th. A Shin
takes the place of the first Heh, and a Ayin of the
second Heh. Now Shin corresponds to the
Perpetual Intelligence, knowledge of perpetuity,
changeless consciousness of the real nature of
the Ego, and it is the liberating consciousness of
personal immorality, that this recognition is the
dominant characteristic of Jesus teaching and
personal consciousness. In the Tarot Shin
corresponds to Judgement, a picture of
resurrection with which the name of Jesus is
inseparably identified. Thus the substitution of
Shin for Heh in Jesus name is the substitution of
Liberation for rulership. Jehovah is the ruler (For
Heh is the Emperor) and his self-consciousness
is that of the Constituting Intelligence. Jesus is
the liberator, and his self-consciousness centers
upon the idea of releasing men from bondage
and death. The final letter of Jesus name is Ayin.
In the Kabalah this is Renovating Intelligence,
the knowledge that preserves and renews the
personal existence. This letters is associated with
the Devil, because the first step towards
liberation is to recognize what evil really is, so
that we can attribute to it absolutely no power to
determine the course of our lives. The story of
Jesus temptation is a clue to this Jesus did not
teach because he had to overcome the Devil. And
his way of doing so was the command: 'Get thee
behind me Satan! Thou shall not tempt the Lord
thy God.' When we realize that God is the
principle of our lives, all evil is recognized as
subordinate and without power. To fear the devil
is to worship him. Therefore the Lord's prayer
asks God not to lead us into temptation instead
of pensioning him to allow us to be tempted by
Satan. Jesus, according to Cabalistic attributions
of the letters, is consciousness of the Divine Will
(Intelligence of Will) reflected in the realization
that human personality is essentially immortal
(Perpetual Intelligence, "My word shall not pass
away."), and these two modes of consciousness
are combined in the knowledge or Wisdom
destined to Triumph over all error and failure
(Vav, Triumphant and Eternal Intelligence)
which is the true catholic church, having for its
foundation Jesus' personal triumph over the
Devil, and of the subordination of matter to
thought, which is destined to make all things
new (Renovating Intelligence, Ayin). If we know
the will of God (Yod) if we, by daily meditation,
become habitually conscious of personal
immorality (Shin); if we rely upon the ever-
victorious and eternal wisdom within for
guidance (Vav), if we fear no evil, and see no
evil, and are conscious of our power to make all
things new (Ayin), we have in us the mind which
was in Christ Jesus.
The sum of the letters in Jesus name is 386.
Articulated this is 300, 80, 6, or Shin, Peh, Vav.
Consciousness if immorality (Shin) overthrows
the structure of false science and common-sense
(Peh), and makes us rely wholly on the guidance
of the indwelling spirit (Vav). By reduction 386
is 17. Articulated this is 10, 7 or Yod and Zain.
Consciousness of divine will and of our relation
to it (Yod) is expressed in the harmonious
relationship of the objective and subjective
minds to each other, and to the supreme spirit,
and this is a consciousness that enables us to
make a right deposition of all our talents, powers
and possession (Disposing Intelligence, Zain).
By reduction 17 is 8, the same number that
represent the final reduction of the letter values
of IHVH. Thus the name Jehovah and the name
Jesus are represented by the same root-idea.
Thus the I AM, Jesus is the recognition of the
identity of the personal self with the universal I
AM. Both names imply knowledge of the
dwelling place of the supreme spirit (Intelligence
of House of Influence). Jehovah is the I AM
saying: 'My temple is man, and my knowledge is
the hearts of men.' Jesus is man saying 'I am the
temple of God; God and I are essentially One,
He rules in my heart.' The same truth is revealed
in both names from opposites points of view.
The sum of the two names is 4 12. Articulated,
this is 400, 10, 2 or Tav, Yod, Beth;
Administrative Intelligence, Intelligence of Will,
Intelligence of Transparency; the World, the
Hermit, the Magician. By analogy 412 is the
number of the Holy Ghost; since it proceeds
from 26 (the Father) and the Son (386). Now the
Hebrew word for Spirit is Rauch, spelled M'1, so
that its numerical value is the sum of 200, 6 and
8. or 214. Note that 21 4 is 41 2 reversed. The
same figures, then that enter into the number
produced by the addition of the names of the
father and son, which by analogy as the product
of the numerical equivalent of the names of
father and son, should be a number
corresponding to spirit, are found in the number
of the word, Rauch. The reduction is 7, the
