THE LINEAL FORMS OF THE NAMES OF THE SEPHIROTH
ON THE TREE OF LIFE
In the early days of the Order, this paper had appended to it a note by Dr. Westcott,
using his Order name of Non Omnis Moriar. He said that this paper was only for those
members of the Inner Order who had mastered the Pentagram and Hexagram Rituals and
consecrated their elemental weapons.
The original document here given gave the names of the Sephiroth in Hebrew.
Since these Hebrew Names were previously given in Hebrew in an early Knowledge
Lecture, I have for the sake of convenience transliterated them into English. The number
of letters used to describe the appropriate lineal figure refers to the number of Hebrew
letters, not English. It is important for the student to keep this in mind, otherwise he will
get thoroughly confused.
I would also urge the student not to permit first impressions of complexity disturb his
peace of mind, forcing him to neglect the study of this paper. It is really worth\giving a good
deal of attention to. Admittedly it is purely speculative and an exercise in intellectual
virtuosity. The end result rather as with the use of a Zen Koan is the product of a higher
level of perception. The use of the Koan may result in a swing over to the same level of
perception experienced by whoever it was that developed it originally. This study of lineal
figures and the various divine names bears many resemblances to the processes just
described.
I give these Sephirotic Names in English. On an earlier page will be found the
equivalent Hebrew spelling.
