Chapter Four; Kether, <strong>The</strong> Crown of Coherent Light<br />

<strong>The</strong> Doctrine of Trans-Resonance<br />

As we have already noted, one of the primary doctrines of Magick is that "that which is<br />

above is like unto that which is below", also stated variously as "the heaven is in the earth, but after an<br />

earthly manner; and that the earth is in the heaven, but after a heavenly manner," or Kabbalistically<br />

as "Malkuth is in Kether, and Kether is in Malkuth, but after another manner."<br />

This doctrine of "trans-resonance", as given in <strong>Kabbalah</strong> as an intimate and ultimate identity<br />

between Malkuth and Kether, can be demonstrated by combining the Hebrew letters of both words. If<br />

the letters of Kether and Malkuth are merged together and matched in pairs, the resultant words can<br />

be interpreted as :<br />

MR : Myrrh, the resin of suffering and sorrow, used for anointing (the head or feet, attributed<br />

to Kether and Malkuth) and embalming (the body, attributed as a whole to Malkuth). Also symbolic<br />

of the suffering endured in the separation of Malkuth and Kether from each other by the Fall.<br />

RM : High, exalted, attributes of Kether, and also meaning to decay (worm-eaten), thus the<br />

process of Malkuth and the decay implicit in evolution symbolised by the Worm, Dragon or Serpent.<br />

It can be noted that a rearrangement of the letters of KThR gives KRTh, meaning "to cut off", and<br />

"divine punishment", hence referring that any deviation from the Crown brings about a Fall from the<br />

state of Grace represented by Kether.<br />

KL, to comprehend, measure, all every, whole, any, referring to Kether as the All and the<br />

highest comprehension (the "Admirable Intelligence" as the Sepher Yetzirah entitles it, also "Invisible<br />

Intelligence" in that if something is everything, it cannot ever be perceived because there is nowhere<br />

outside it to perceive it from. Thus, "occult" and "unspeakable" experiences are so because they defy<br />

comprehension as they partake of this ultimate ground of reality).<br />

LK, a word meaning "to you" and hence can be seen as the mystical return up the Tree of<br />

Life from Malkuth to Kether as the "you" is the Self, or God one is moving towards.<br />

K, by itself is Kaph, the Hand of God in Kether ("who hath measured the waters in the<br />

hollow of his hand and meted out heaven with the span" - Isaiah 40, v.12) or the hand as the receptive
