To: alt.magick.tyagi,alt.magick,alt.occult.kabbalah,alt.consciousness.mysticism,alt.divination,talk.religion.misc,talk.religion.newage From: tyagi@houseofkaos.abyss.com (nagasiva) Subject: ECFriedman: QBL Attributions Date: 13 Sep 1997 12:50:52 -0700 [from kabbalah-l@hollyfeld.org: Eric Caleb Friedman (abudoub@erols.com)] "Mercury is the astral foundation behind an object or living thing. It is the life force that animates, Ruach Elohim. Spirit is the purest element. Mercury is a function or necessary part, but Spirit is a type of energy. "How do you arrive at Mercury = Ruach Elohim and the "astral foundation behind an object or living thing" (First Matter?? or First Cause??)?" I never arrived at any such equation. The only response I can give is to mention that Formative Spirit (which is not the purest element, it is an emanation of Will from Keter-Chochmah) is "more dense" & gathered when manifesting at the level of Yesod/Mem. Perhaps I am forgetting that the original attribution of the paths has been nearly forgotten in modern occultism. The key is simple: 3 horizontal paths = 3 Mother letters. Shin/Fire is the Path from Chochmah to Binah; Aleph/Air (Ruach) is the Path from Chesed to Gevurah. And Mem/Water is the Path from Netzach to Hod. In the realm of Yetzirah, these define three stages of the manifestation of the Energy of the Tree, corresponding to the three triads. As for the other Paths: The Seven Doubles: Beit = Chochmah-Chesed Gimel = Binah-Gevurah Dalet = Keter-Tiferet Kaph = Chesed-Netzach Peh = Gevurah-Hod Resh = Tiferet-Yesod Tav = Yesod-Malchut The 12 Simples: Heh = Keter-Chochmah Vav = Keter-Binah Zain = Chochmah-Tiferet Chet = Binah-Tiferet Tet = Chesed-Tiferet Yod = Gevurah-Tiferet Lamed = Tiferet-Netzach Nun = Tiferet-Hod Samech = Netzach-Yesod Ayin = Hod-Yesod Tzadi = Netzach-Malchut Quph = Hod-Malchut With these attributions, the G.D. correspondences of the cards make alot more sense to me, including the planets to the 7 doubles, so I do indeed use them. Manipulating the Major Arcana according to this original scheme provides the Three Pillar meditations you mentioned previously. -Abu Doub -- (emailed replies may be posted);join the AMT syncretism!!;call: 408/2-666-SLUG! see http://www.abyss.com/tokus; "Clement of Rome taught that God rules the world with a right and a left hand, the right being Christ, the left Satan." - CGJung
