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 />
