The Soul <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> <strong>Kabbalah</strong><br />

by <strong>the</strong> symbols <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sphere <strong>of</strong> Sensation, in <strong>the</strong> same way as<br />

<strong>the</strong> eyes can be dazzled in front <strong>of</strong> a mirror if <strong>the</strong> latter be shaken<br />

or waved. The sensation <strong>the</strong>refore <strong>the</strong>n conveyed by <strong>the</strong><br />

thoughts is that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sphere <strong>of</strong> Sensation oscillating and<br />

almost tevolving about <strong>the</strong> physical body, bringing giddiness,<br />

sickness, vertigo and <strong>the</strong> loss <strong>of</strong> idea <strong>of</strong> place and position.<br />

Nearly <strong>the</strong> same may be said <strong>of</strong> Seasickness, and <strong>the</strong> action <strong>of</strong><br />

certain drugs.<br />

Restoration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> equilibrium <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sphere <strong>of</strong> Sensation<br />

after this naturally produceth a slackening <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> concentration<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ruach in Tiphareth, whence sleep is an absolute<br />

necessity to <strong>the</strong> drunkard. This is so imperative that he cannot<br />

fight against <strong>the</strong> need. If he does so, or if this condition be<br />

constantly repeated, <strong>the</strong> thought rays are launched through<br />

<strong>the</strong> Sphere <strong>of</strong> Sensation so irregularly and so violently that<br />

<strong>the</strong>y pass its boundary without ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> Lower Will or <strong>the</strong><br />

Reasoning Power or even <strong>the</strong> Thought itself consenting <strong>the</strong>reto;<br />

and <strong>the</strong> latter is <strong>the</strong>refore without <strong>the</strong> protection <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

will. Thence arise <strong>the</strong> conditions <strong>of</strong> delirium tremens, and an<br />

opening is made in <strong>the</strong> Sphere <strong>of</strong> Sensation which is unguarded,<br />

and through which hostile influence may enter. But this<br />

latter cometh under <strong>the</strong> head <strong>of</strong> obsession.<br />

All thought action in <strong>the</strong> spiritual consciousness originarerh<br />

in radiation, and radiation is as inseparable from <strong>the</strong> spiritual<br />

consciousness as it is from Light.<br />

The Spiritual Consciousness is <strong>the</strong> focus <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> action <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Neschamah. The spiritual consciousness is, in its turn, <strong>the</strong><br />

Throne or Vehicle <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Life <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Spirit which is Chiah; and<br />

<strong>the</strong>se combined form <strong>the</strong> Chariot <strong>of</strong> that Higher Will which is<br />

Ke<strong>the</strong>r. Also it is <strong>the</strong> peculiar faculty <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Neschamah to aspire<br />

unto that which is beyond: The Higher Will manifests itself<br />

through Yechidah. The Chiah is <strong>the</strong> real Life Principle, as distinct<br />

from <strong>the</strong> more illusionary life <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Physical Body. The<br />

Shining Flame <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Divine Fire, <strong>the</strong> Ke<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Body, is <strong>the</strong><br />

Real Self <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Incarnation. Yet but few <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sons <strong>of</strong> men<br />

know or feel its presence. Still less do <strong>the</strong>y belong in or comprehend<br />

those Higher Potencies-Angelic, Archangelic or<br />

Divine, <strong>of</strong> which <strong>the</strong> manifestation directly touching Yechidah<br />

is <strong>the</strong> Higher Genius.<br />

This Yechidah in <strong>the</strong> ordinary man can but rarely act<br />

through <strong>the</strong> spiritual consciousness, seeing that for it to do so<br />

<strong>the</strong> King <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Physical Body, that is [he Lower Will, must<br />

rise from his Throne to acknowledge his superior. That is <strong>the</strong><br />
