Testament.<br />

n+:! Calah, perfection, also a trunk or pillar;<br />

with different pointing: He is firm, or pining<br />

with desire. This name was borne by an Assyrian<br />

City (according to Inman), and it may have been<br />

derived from a word like 352 Calah, adorned,<br />

crowned, a bride, equivalent to the virgin , or<br />

Ishtar; if so, we may compare it to ~ahq kalee,<br />

beautiful . In Genesis 10: 1 1: "out of that Land<br />

[Shinar] went forth Asshur, and built Ninevah,<br />

and the City Rehoboth, and Calah."<br />

D'Olivet suggest that Calah means the growing<br />

wise, old men ruling within: "The word rhl<br />

which signifies literally, an ancient, an old man,<br />

that is to say, a man whom age and experience<br />

have led to perfection. Thence by extension, the<br />

idea of a senate, of an assembly of old men, of a<br />

wise and conservative institution." [dYOlivet,<br />

1976, p. 284.1 see 55.<br />

n2 noah. rest, cessation. pleasing, kind. Ark<br />

builder. marks a period of parlaya, or rest in<br />

cycles of cosmic manifestation. see 936.<br />

This name appears in Genesis 5:29: And he<br />

called his name Noah, saying He shall comfort<br />

us concerning our work and toil of our hands:<br />

because of the ground which the Lord hath<br />

cursed"<br />

I. "And he called his name Noah (repose of<br />

elementary nature), saying, this shall rest us (our<br />

existence) and lighten our labor, and the physical<br />

obstacles of our hands, because of the Adamic<br />

element which Wl' has cursed.<br />

11. He comments: 82. Noah. The root from<br />

which this important name comes, is composed<br />

of the sign of produced being f, image of<br />

reflected existence, and the sign of the effort of<br />

nature Yl, which gives birth to vital equilibrium,<br />

to existence. This root offers the idea of that<br />

perfect repose, which, for a thing long agitated in<br />

opposed directions, results in that state of<br />

equilibrium where it dwells immobile.<br />

Nearly all the tongues of the orient understands<br />

this mysterious expression. The Hebrew and the<br />

Chaldaic draw from it two verbs. By the first<br />

96<br />

7ll72, one understands, to lead to the end, to<br />

guide toward the place of repose; by the second,<br />

N12, to repose, to rest tranquil, to be in a state of<br />

peace, of calm, of perfect bliss. It is from the<br />

latter, that the name of the cosmogonic<br />

personage who saw the end of the world and its<br />

renewal, is derived. It is the emblem of the<br />

repose of elementary existence, the sleep of<br />

nature." [d701ivet, 1976, pp. 167- 168.1<br />

111. "A symbol of the individuality, or the<br />

manifested self in evolution-the permanent<br />

center of evolution in the soul. It is the: Buddhi-<br />

manasic principle, or the incarnation of the self<br />

as applying to the three lower planes ... The<br />

Noah principle ... is perfection of the soul<br />

according to its sage of development. The<br />

knowledge it possessed is derived from within<br />

(walked with God)." [Gaskell, 1981, p. 538.1<br />

IV. A. Jokej writes: "Noah is the divinely<br />

appointed figure, in whom the whole cause of<br />

regeneration is set forth, every secret of this great<br />

mystery being here drawn for us as God alone<br />

could draw it.. Noah, then, is the spiritual mind,<br />

for he is only the continuation of Seth's line, and<br />

figures the form of life which the spiritual mind<br />

takes as this stage in its development:, when it<br />

has come so far as to know the judgement of the<br />

old creation, and the way through that Judgement<br />

to a cleansed and better world." ['Types of<br />

Genesis, pp. 104- 1051<br />
