WHO HATE US
"215. The agents of Sitra Achara [the Evil Other
Side] have three functions. The first is to seduce man
to sin through which he becomes impure, as stated in
Gemara (Yoma), 'When man acts impurely below, He is
made impure from above.' These forces from which the
Yetzer Hara—Evil inclination stems, draw man toward
sin by causing it to appear sweet and pleasant, as
stated, 'Sweet is stolen water'. The Zohar refers to this
as 'The pleasure with impurities. None the less the
purpose in their creation is to merit the righteous.
Through conquering the evil inclination, which seems
insurmountable, the righteous are rewarded in direct
proportion to their effort, as stated, 'According to the
difficulty is the reward'. All this is explained at length
in the Zohar through the allegory of the king who sent
a harlot to seduce his son. He stipulated to her that if
she succeeds all the goodness that would have rightly
been given to his son would be hers instead. But, if he
shunned her advances the prince would receive great
reward and she too would be rewarded since through
her great efforts he merited this goodness.
Throughout, the fathers' intent was for the good of his
son, and even the Harlot, though she appeared in the
guise of a temptress, was the kings agent and secretly
desired the princes success.
216. The second function of the Sitra Achara [Evil
Other Side] is to accuse and summons a soul to
judgement, G-d forbid, as stated in the Zohar, 'G-d
made it, that they fear Him—that He created an
accuser who demands judgement, and that the concept
of punishment exists, so that there will be a fear of G-d
in the world. [The 'accuser' is Satan who is also
the guardian angel of Non-Jews and the angel of
death. Gentiles (Non-Jews) are also considered to
be a part of the Evil Other Side (Sitra Achara) out
of which they were created. Satan provides the
Jews with Divine Justice by accusing, prosecuting
and punishing them, and so performs many
useful functions for them.]
217. The third function [of the World of Evil] is to
mete out punishment upon the sinners, either in this
world or in Gehenom [Hell]. All this is to fulfill G-d's
desire to conduct the world through justice as stated,
'for all His ways are just'. All the above fall into the
category of Sitra Achara [Evil Other Side] and are
called Kelipot—Husks. Holiness—Kedusha is called Pri
—Fruit and they are as husks surrounding the fruit.
218. There are four general Kelipot which are alluded
to in Ezekiel's vision, as written, 'And I saw and behold
a storm wind coming from the north, a great cloud,
and a roaring fire encompassed by a glow'. They are
also alluded to in Eliyahu's vision, Ruach—Wind, Ra'ash
—Earthquake, Esh—Fire, within which G-d was not
revealed plus a Kol Dmama Daka—a still small voice.
219. Of these four, three are completely evil. The
fourth, which is Kelipat Nogah—the glowing husk, may
be transformed to goodness. [Gentile Souls are
entirely composed of the three completely Evil
Husks, Kelipot, meaning the 'Shells of Impurity'.
Jewish Souls are composed of the Kelipah Nogah
meaning 'Shining Shells' which contain Divine
Sparks embedded within them which cling to
these special Shells out of Divine Desire. Jewish
Souls can be Rectified and raised to Heaven to a
Reunion with God. Gentile Souls cannot be
Rectified, because they have no Divine Spark and
the Divine Light has no Divine Desire to reside in
the Shells of Impurity. Gentiles can only be
annihilated and are "Non-Entities".] The Brit Milah
—Circumcision consists of three steps corresponding
to the three impure Kelipot. They are the removal of
the foreskin—Arlah, the pulling back of the remaining
skin—Priah, and the letting of a drop of blood—Tipat
Dam. In addition the verse in Genesis refering to Tohu
—formless, Vohu—emptiness, Choshech—darkness,
and Ruach Elokim—the spirit of G-d, corresponds to
these four Kelipot. [Circumcision is an allegorical
ritual which symbolizes cutting off the Gentiles
from the World and exterminating them. It is a
mark which distinguishes the Holy Seed from the
Seed of Satan. It rectifies the Jewish male by
symbolically removing the Shell of Impurity.
Gentiles are Formless, Empty and Dark, like
shadows on the wall of a cave. Jews are the Spirit
of God.]
220. G-d created everything with its counterpart.
Therefore just as He created the three holy levels of
Briyah, Yetzirah and Asiyah, so too He created the
Briyah, Yetzirah and Asiyah of Kelipah as their
counterparts. [Gentiles are the Evil Counterpart to
Divine Jews. Satan created Gentiles and is their
guardian angel and Prince in Heaven. Satan is
the Gentile Counterpart to the God of Israel in
Heaven. Gentiles are part of a Counter-Universe
composed of Tohu Chaos, Bohu Void and
Choshech Darkness, which cannot be redeemed
or elevated to the level of Heaven.]
221. In respect to the 'created' realms of holiness only
three levels exist. However they have the benefit of G-
ds influence and revelation which rests upon them
from His Divine conducts, i.e. Atzilut. The Sitra Achara
[Other Side] on the other hand does not receive such
influence from above. [The guardian angel of the
Gentiles above is Satan and he betrays his
Gentile offspring when the Jews offer Satan the
gift of a scapegoat on Yom Kippur. This
scapegoat ritual transfers all of the sins of the
Jews onto the Gentiles and keeps the 'accuser'
Satan from accusing the Jews to the God of Israel
on the Day of Atonement. Esau and Jesus were
but two such scapegoats given to the Evil Other
Side as its portion of the sacrifice of two goats
made on Yom Kippur. The Jews who perished in
the Holocaust were the sin offering given to the
God of Israel.]
221b. Rather, an additional world of Sitra Achara
called Atzilut of Kelipah was created as a counterpart
to Atzilut of Kedusha, so that Sitra Achara & Kedusha
would have the same number of corresponding parts.
However, unlike Atzilut of Kedusha [Emanation of
Holiness], which represents G-d's Divine conducts,
Atzilut of Kelipah [Emanation of Shells of Impurity]
is merely a created world and as such they are not
comparable. [Atzilut of Kelipah (Emanation of
Shells of Impurity) is an Evil alternate Gentile
Counter-Universe, which contains no Sparks of
Divine Light. It is made up of Material which is
entirely Unclean and Evil and which cannot be
Rectified or elevated to the Heavenly Realm.
Instead, the Kelipot resolve into Nothingness
when they are Deprived of the Ohr Makif—a
Peripheral Light which hovers above Gentiles,
just as day resolves into night when the Sun sets
below the horizon.]
222. Though the order of the levels of Kelipah
correspond to those of Kedusha, Atzilut of Kelipah
being itself created does not stand above the created
realms of Kedush. Rather it is opposite the Holy of
Holies of the world of Briyah [Olam Briah World of
Creation], since no created thing can rise higher than
that level.
223. Furthermore, the seven palaces of Briyah of
Kedusha [Creation of Holiness] have their
counterparts in Sitra Achara [the Evil Other Side].
They are called 'the seven impure palaces'. Their
names in rising order are:
Bor - the pit
Shachat - death
Duma - silence
Chova - debt
Sheol - the grave
Tzalmavet - the shadow of death
Eretz Tachteet - the netherworld
223b. These in turn correspond to the seven names of
the Yetzer Hara [Evil Inclination] as follows:
Rah - The evil one
Tameh - The impure one
Soneh - The enemy
Even Michshol - The stumbling block
Arel - The uncircumcised one
Satan - Satan
Tzafoni - The northerner
The Zohar explains at length the specific purpose of
each of these. Generally the agents of Kelipah have the
opposite function to those of Kedusha. In addition Sitra
Achara also consists of ten sefirot which are called 'the
ten sefirot of Kelipah' or 'the substitute palaces'. [The
Gentile Counter-Universe is entirely Evil with no
redeeming virtues whatsoever.]
224. Because G-d desired to conduct the world with
judgment as well as kindness, He created the Sitra
Achara [the Evil Other Side]. As such, the Sitra
Achara is considered to have come out of the attribute
of judgment since that is its sole purpose, without
which it would not have been created.
225. As stated above, initially G-d manifested the
attribute of total judgment, represented by the name
of 52—Ban. He then joined to it the attribute of mercy
represented by the name of 45—Mah, in order to bring
about its rectification. Since Sitra Achara comes about
solely from the judgment of Ban—52, the gradual
rectification brought about through Mah—45
diminishes its function so that ultimately with the final
rectification, Sitra Achara will cease to exist. [Tikkun
Olam, Rectification of the World, elevates Jews
and exterminates Gentiles, who will no longer be
needed to accuse, prosecute and punish Jews so
as to provide them with Divine Justice and
Atonement, because the Jews will have already
been made pure when the Rectification is
complete. Gentiles will then serve no function
and will vanish.] Part will be transformed into
holiness and the remainder will be obliterated. [Satan,
who is a fallen angel with Divine Light within
him, will be Rectified and restored to Heaven,
but Gentiles will be Deprived of exposure to the
Divine Light and resolved into Nothingness,
because there is no Divine Spark embedded
within their Shells of Impurity and the Light
lacks Divine Desire to mingle with Non-Jews.]
226. The existence of the Yetzer Hara [Evil
Inclination] and the Sitra Achara [the Other Side] is
only necessary during the six millennia of this world
[The six millennia is the 6,000 year period which
began with the creation of Adam and the year 0
on the Hebrew calendar. The Present World and
the Gentiles in it can only last for a maximum of
these 6,000 years, which are due to expire on the
nightfall of 16 September 2240 AD. This will be
the 6000th year on the Hebrew calendar and the
latest date on which the Messiah of the Jews can
appear. It will be even better and far less painful
if the Gentiles are annihilated before then, in
the minds of the gods who hate us.] which follow
the conduct of the six sefirot—Chessed, Gevurah,
Tiferet, Netzach, Hod & Yesod as stated in Talmud,
'You have given us the Yetzer Hara for the sole purpose
of earning merit.' However, beginning with the seventh
millennium which is the world to come and is a time of
reward, (and certainly after the tenth millennium,
which is the eternal conduct of Adam Kadmon) its
purpose will be abrogated & the Talmud states, 'In the
future the Holy One Blessed Be He shall slaughter
(abrogate) the Yetzer Hara'. [The Gentiles have no
place in the Seventh Sabbath Millennium which
will host the Jewish Utopia of the "World to
Come". They will all be slaughtered beforehand
so that the Jews can rest for at least 1,000 years.
The Jews honor the Sabbath, the seventh day of
creation, for this reason. They rest on the
Sabbath as a symbol of the thousand years of rest
they plan to experience in the World to Come.
Each "day" of creation equals one thousand
years. The Messiah will ritually sacrifice of all
Gentiles as gifts to Satan at the close of the sixth
millennium in the final Day of Atonement which
will be the Apocalypse. Many Jews will be offered
as a sin offering to God at the same time. Since
Jewry will then have completely atoned for all
their sins and since there will no longer be any
Non-Jews left to entice Jewry with idolatry, there
will be no more need for the Divine Justice of the
Other Side of the Gentile Counter-Universe.]
226b. This is further supported by the scriptural
verses, 'I will withdraw the impure spirit from the
earth' and, 'I shall remove the heart of stone from your
flesh'. In addition, concerning the world to come
scripture states, 'And I shall give you a heart of flesh
and I shall instill a new spirit in your midst and cause
you to walk in my statutes', and, 'Hashem shall be King
upon the entire earth, on that day, Hashem shall be
one and His name one.' Even in this world the Sitra
Achara may be abrogated on a specific spiritual level
by the complete rectification of that level. It then only
exists on a lesser level. But concerning the world to
come it is stated, 'Death shall be swallowed forever',
and the world will be perfected in G-d's Kingdom. This
will constitute complete rectification in which 'G-d will
be one and His name one'. May it be G-d's will that we
merit this speedily in our days through Kindness and
Mercy—Amen. [The Jews and their gods will all
become immortal androgynes in the World to
Come. The unification of the genders into One
body both of Jews and their gods is what is meant
by becoming One. Yahweh (male god of the Jews)
and Shekinah (female goddess of the Jews), will
return to their original Divine form of an
androgynous Godhead when they again have sex
with each other in the Temple of Solomon. This
will restore the Androgynous Godhead's throne
on Earth and in Heaven, as above, so below.]" 1

Ezra 1:1-4,
"Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the
word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be
fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of
Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his
kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, Thus saith
Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of heaven hath
given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath
charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which
is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people?
his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem,
which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God
of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem. And
whosoever remaineth in any place where he
sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with
silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts,
beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is
in Jerusalem."

This view explains the descent of Adam and Eve down the
Hierarchy of Being and their Fall down through the Worlds
from the upper to the lower. Initially they were pure Light
like the One, then they diminished and became the Matter
of Flesh as they descended further and further from the
First Emanation and moved from the World of Atzilut to the
World of Assiah. It is therefore the goal of the Cabalist to
reclothe himself in Garments of Light through Tikkun,
Rectification and raise the World of Assiah to Atzilut.
Yahweh and Shekinah also split in Two and lost the form of
Unity of the One as Shekinah descended to the World of
Assiah from Atzilut and refused to engage in sex with
Yahweh after their bedchamber in the Temple of Solomon
was destroyed.
Gentiles, on the other hand, come from the "smelly drop
of semen" of Satan. Isaiah HaLevi Horovitz wrote,
"When Saul failed to carry out his task against Amalek
completely, the [***] "serpent" (in the guise of the
Philistines) raised its head; eventually Saul himself in
desperation consulted with the witch of Endor,—an
example of [***].—In the end, (Samuel I chapter 28)
Saul was killed, and the kingdom reverted back to its
permanent designates, to the house of Yehudah-David.
David is described as [***], 'ruddy, good looking,' in
Samuel I 16,12, the counterpart to Esau, who was
called [***], because he had absorbed all the pollutants
of the original serpent which had made blood (red) the
symbol of death. Esau had absorbed all this pollutant in
order that Jacob might be free of it. We have shown
that this was what Bileam alluded to when he
proclaimed: [***], 'that Jacob does not contain a
vestige of the original serpent' (Numbers 23,23). The
colour [***], then can originate either in the [***],
representing the blood of impurity, or in a sacred
domain. When it originates in the sacred domain it is
described, as in Samuel, as [***], 'beautiful to behold.'
David is descended from Peretz, who was [***],
'achieved a break-through' against the forces of the
[***]. David was an outstanding Torah scholar; when
the honor of G-d was at stake he knew how to take
revenge in the manner of a serpent. It is said of him:
[***], 'for from the stock of a snake there sprouts an
asp' (Isaiah 14,29). The allusion is to David's father
Yishai (cf. Targum) who is the [***] in our verse. These
terms are used by the prophets as forces that are able
to parry and subdue the original serpent, root of
impurity. [***] To get back to the subject of the [***].
Joseph, in his capacity as the sacred seed of his father,
who in turn represented the spiritual beauty of Adam
prior to his sin, was truly created [***], in the image of
G-d, because he was not the result of a smelly drop of
semen. He wore the striped coat, a metaphor for
the garments woven of light worn by Adam and
Eve before they sinned, as we have outlined on
pages 290,294. He was therefore the natural
enemy of Esau who represented the opposite
attributes, the pollution by the serpent, the
smelly drop of semen, and the start of a long line
of bastards." 42
Isaiah 41:23-24 states that Jews are gods but Gentiles
are nothing and worship Satan, an abomination,
"Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we
may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil,
that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an
abomination is he that chooseth you."
Psalm 82:1, 6 expressly states that Jews are "gods",
"God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he
judgeth among the gods. [***] I have said, Ye are
gods; and all of you are children of the most
High."
Ezra 9:2
"For they have taken of their daughters for themselves,
and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled
themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the
hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this
trespass."
Isaiah 6:13,
"But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and
shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose
substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so
the holy seed shall be the substance thereof."
"III
THE TEN GENERATIONS
THE BIRTH OF CAIN
There were ten generations from Adam to Noah, to
show how long-suffering is the Lord, for all the
generations provoked Him unto wrath, until He
brought the deluge upon them.1 By reason of their
impiousness God changed His plan of calling one
thousand generations into being between the creation
of the world and the revelation of the law at Mount
Sinai; nine hundred and seventy-four He suppressed
before the flood.2
Wickedness came into the world with the first being
born of woman, Cain, the oldest son of Adam. When
God bestowed Paradise upon the first pair of mankind,
He warned them particularly against carnal
intercourse with each other. But after the fall of Eve,
Satan, in the guise of the serpent, approached her, and
the fruit of their union was Cain, the ancestor of all the
impious generations that were rebellious toward God,
and rose up against Him. Cain's descent from Satan,
who is the angel Samael, was revealed in his seraphic
appearance. At his birth, the exclamation was wrung
from Eve, 'I have gotten a man through an angel of the
Lord.'3
Adam was not in the company of Eve during the time of
her pregnancy with Cain. After she had succumbed a
second time to the temptations of Satan, and permitted
herself to be interrupted in her penance,4 she left her
husband and journeyed westward, because she feared
her presence might continue to bring him misery.
Adam remained in the east. When the days of Eve to be
delivered were fulfilled, and she began to feel the
pangs of travailing, she prayed to God for help. But He
hearkened not unto her supplications. 'Who will carry
the report to my lord Adam?' she asked herself. 'Ye
luminaries in the sky, I beg you, tell it to my master
Adam when ye return to the east!' In that selfsame
hour, Adam cried out: 'The lamentation of Eve has
pierced to my ear! Mayhap the serpent has again
assaulted her,' and he hastened to his wife. Finding her
in grievous pain, he besought God in her behalf, and
twelve angels appeared, together with two heavenly
powers.5 All these took up their post to right of her and
to left of her, while Michael, also standing on her right
side, passed his hand over her, from her face
downward to her breast, and said to her, 'Be thou
blessed, Eve, for the sake of Adam. Because of his
solicitations and his prayers I was sent to grant thee
our assistance. Make ready to give birth to thy child!'
Immediately her son was born, a radiant figure.6 A
little while and the babe stood upon his feet, ran off,
and returned holding in his hands a stalk of straw,
which he gave to his mother. For this reason he was
named Cain, the Hebrew word for stalk of straw.
Now Adam took Eve and the boy to his home in the
east. God sent him various kinds of seeds by the hand
of the angel Michael, and he was taught how to
cultivate the ground and make it yield produce and
fruits, to sustain himself and his family and his
posterity.7
After a while, Eve bore her second son, whom she
named Hebel, because, she said, he was born but to
die." 51

thee altogether unpunished."

I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the
nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make
a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will

The Rebbes
The Rebbes were the chief rabbis of the Chabad
Lubavitch sect of Ultra-Orthodox Chassidic Jews. They are
revered by members of that faith. Some Chabadniks believe
that the final and seventh Rebbe Menachem Mendel
Schneerson was the Messiah of the Jews. They revere his
grave and President Trump's daughter Ivanka and his son-
in-law Jared Kushner visited it during Trump's election
campaigns. The Rebbes were all extremely devoted
Cabalists of the most anti-Gentile sort.
The fifth Rebbe of the Chabad Lubavitch dynasty was
Sholom Dovber Schneersohn, who was known to his
followers as Rebbe Rashab. The sixth Rebbe Yosef Yitzhak
Schneersohn was known as Rebbe Rayatz. The Lubavitcher
Rebbes have all adhered to the cabalistic principle that
Gentiles are "Non-Entities", Nothingness, the equivalent of
Plotinus' Matter at the bottom Level of the Hierarchy of
Being. Jews, on the other hand, are part of the Divine Light
and contain the Pantheistic Spark of the Divine in the
Kelipah Nogah, the Shining Shells of their Holy Souls.
Jews, unlike Gentiles, are destined to perfection and will
elevate their Sparks and the World to the realm of Atzilut
through the Epistrophé of Tikkun, Rectification. The
process is the same as that suggested by Plotinus. Reunion
with the One is achieved through self Contemplation,
Wisdom (Chochmah), Understanding (Binah) and
Knowledge (Da'at), by means of which the Soul of a Jew can
attain its Ideal Form Adam ha-Shalem which exists in the
highest realm he can attain, Keter. In cabalistic terms,
studying the Torah, meaning Cabalah, elevates the Soul to
its highest levels.
Gentiles, unlike Jews, cannot do this. Gentiles only have
Unclean Animal Souls and do not have Higher Holy Souls.
Gentiles can only be Nullified, Annihilated, Negated, never
Rectified. Gentiles are destined to cease to be, because they
already are Nothingness, Chaos, garbage fallen from the
Primordial World of Tohu va-Vohu . A Righteous Jew need
only chant the Chassidic incantation of the Chassidus and
the Neanderthal Gentiles become Non-Existent, because
they are and always have been "Non-Entities", Tohu and
Bohu, shadows of Nothingness on the cave wall and not the
flame or the actors. A Gentile lacks the Divine Sparks and is
therefore beyond Redemption. The Gentiles' Shells of
Impurity do not shine, contain no Light and derive from
different Material, different Vessels, than the Shining Shells
of Jews.
The Torah commands the Jews to exterminate the
Amalekites from generation to generation, which in
Cabalah is taken to mean exterminating all Gentiles.
Deuteronomy 25:15-19,
"Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way,
when ye were come forth out of Egypt; How he met
thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even
all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint
and weary; and he feared not God. Therefore it shall
be, when the Lord thy God hath given thee rest from
all thine enemies round about, in the land which the
Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess
it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek
from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it."
Exodus 17:14-16,
"And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a
memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of
Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of
Amalek from under heaven. And Moses built an altar,
and called the name of it Jehovahnissi: For he said,
Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will have
war with Amalek from generation to generation."
The Rebbes believed that they could Nullify the Gentiles
and exterminate the Amalekites of their seven generations.
This fact is evinced in the book An End to Evil: Reishis
Goyim Amalek, which means "An End to Evil: Amalek Is
First Among the Nations",
"The Bolsheviks were now inside the room. The money
was on the table, and the time had come for the Rebbe
Rashab to deliver a maamar.
The eye-witness continues his report: 'Before he began
he directed that nothing should be removed from the
table, and then added: 'As I stand in the present
situation, I have no fear of them whatever.'
'They now took up positions facing him at the table. He
turned aside a little and said: 'Nu, let's start speaking
words of Chassidus, and then they will be altogether
nullified'
'With that he immediately embarked on the maamar
with these words: Reishis goyim Amalek, veachariso
adei oved—'Amalek is the first among nations, and in
the end he shall be destroyed.' Its theme is that the
kelipos do not have any true and intrinsic existence;
they are non-entities.
'After standing and looking at him for a long time, the
Bolsheviks left without a word. We stayed there till
about four a.m.'
[***]Rebbe Rayatz: 'Anything which G-d ordained to serve
as a proper receptor for the irradiation of His light enjoys
an essential and absolute existence. [***] 'Holiness cannot
be displaced,' [***] even after he has risen out of corporeal
life and begun true life, for the luminescence of his Divine
service remains there. [***] Rebbe Rayatz is likening this
relationship to the relationship between the 'vessels' and
the 'lights' of the realm of Atzilus. [***] Keeping in mind
that Reishis Goyim Amalek was explicitly intended to nullify
the Amalek of that era, viz., the Bolsheviks, [***] the Rebbe
closes one of the maamarim of 5730 [1970]:8 Battling
against the kelipah of Amalek by means of the Divine spark
within one's soul and by means of one's conscious faculties
brings about9 'G-d's battle against Amalek from generation
to generation,' a phrase which the Targum relates to the
generation of Mashiach. It brings about the time at which10
'[G-d] has set a limit to darkness'—with the imminent
coming of Mashiach.
[***]
It is written,12 Reishis goyim Amalek, veachriso adei
oveid—'Amalek is the first among nations, and in the
end he shall be destroyed.' [***] The same is also true
(though keeping in mind the distinction between
holiness and its opposite) with regard to the forces of
unholiness which are collectively termed kelipah.
Amalek, personifying the toughest kelipah, is the
spiritual source and root of all those nations, yet he is
distinct from them. The conclusion of the above verse
('and in the end he shall be destroyed') seems to imply
that the kelipah of Amalek contains no element that
can be salvaged by means of the divine service called
beirurim (i.e., the sifting and refining of materiality by
elevating the Divine sparks embedded within it). The
kelipah of Amalek, so it would appear, cannot be
rehabilitated into something positive and thereby be
brought to a state of rectification (tikkun). Rather, the
only 'rectification' of Amalek is its utter eradication and
destruction. This is hinted at in the verse, 'and in the
end he shall be destroyed'—Amalek's consummation is
its destruction. [***] A solution may be found in the
verse,17 keitz sam lachoshech—'[G-d] has set a limit to
darkness....' I.e., He has limited the time during which
the darkness of kelipah will be permitted to derive
nurture and sustenance from the leavings of holiness,
from the most extrinsic level of holiness. When that
time expires the kelipah will be utterly destroyed and
annihilated, leaving no vestige of itself, because it does
not possess any intrinsic form of true existence; it is a
non-entity.
[***]
So, too, with regard to other mundane matters which
are bodily necessities, such as food and drink, the
animal soul deploys all its guile to convince the
individual that the Torah obliges him to indulge [rather
than simply to care for the proper maintenance of his
health].
[***]
As is known, the sitra achra [lit., 'the Other Side,' a
euphemism for the world's unholy counterpart to
holiness] derives its spiritual nurture from the
'encompassing' [i.e., transcendent] level of Divinely-
diffused life-force known as the makkif. Hence its
strength, even though in essence it enjoys no intrinsic
reality; it is a non-entity.
[***]
When the light later unites with the vessels and the
vessels nullify themselves to it, they too—through the
intermediacy of the light—will attain essential and
absolute existence. [***] It is G-d's Will that the light
unite with the vessels. The vessels of Tikkun [i.e., the
vessels and attributes of the World of Atzilus] are
nullified to the Divine radiance [that shines within
them]. Thus they, too, attain a state of essential and
absolute existence. [***] There is a source [in the
literature of Chassidus] that explains that 'His throne is
established' alludes to Jewish souls, for they are fit
receptors into which the Divine illumination can be
drawn. Hence they possess essential and absolute
existence, in the sense that they are not subject (G-d
forbid) to elimination or change.
[***]
In contrast, the kelipos and sitra achra derive all their
spiritual nurture from the 'encompassing' [i.e.,
transcendent] level of Divine life-force known as the
makkif, which does not garb itself within them and
surely does not unite with them. This explains why in
the realm of kelipah there are 'eleven crowns'—ten
forces of kelipah apart from the light of holiness which
[nurtures them from afar but] does not unite with
them. They thus have no real or lasting existence in
their own right; they are merely sustained [from afar]
by the 'encompassing level' of Divine life-force. This is
their allotted portion until the End of Days, when their
ultimate end will come about and they will be nullified,
no trace of them remaining.
[***]
Now, the forces of the sitra achra—which are nurtured
by the leavings of the most extrinsic aspects [of
holiness that came into being] from the 'breakage of
the vessels' of Tohu by means of the multitudinous
stages in the chainlike scheme of descent called
Hishtalshelus—have no true or lasting existence at all.
They are intrinsically non-entities, inasmuch as they
derive from a 'lack of Divine desire,' and the
'measurement' that applies to them is one of
withdrawal. They therefore have an appointed end-
point at which they will utterly cease to exist.
[***]
In contrast to the 'side of holiness,' the kelipos derive
their existence from a 'lack of Divine desire' and were
therefore sundered from G-d's unity. They have no
existence other than the animation which they receive
from the encompassing level of Divine light. When this
source is removed they will be totally cut off [from life]
and will be utterly obliterated. This is the meaning of
the above-quoted verse, '[G-d] has set a limit to
darkness....' The darkness of kelipah has a limited time,
after which the kelipos will be utterly destroyed and
annihilated,' since they originate from a 'lack of Divine
desire.'
Though the above is true of sitra achra in general, it is
especially true of the kelipah of Amalek, whose whole
being is brazenness and chutzpah, with no inner
content at all. Every other kelipah has at least some
content, albeit evil, such as the 'Chesed (or some other
evil attribute) of kelipah.'
This is not the case with the kelipah of Amalek, the
kelipah of brazen chutzpah; an insolent individual, as
he himself is aware, is essentially a non-entity. For by
their very nature, as we observe, the baser and more
degraded such people are, the less do they retain their
human aspect; the more do they relate with insolence,
in an animal-like fashion, to people more elevated than
themselves.
[***]
So, too, the kelipah of Amalek, whose whole being is
insolence, is essentially a non-entity. Amalek thus
resembles the waves of the sea that are lifted by the
wind. While water by nature descends, it is [capable of
being] lifted by the wind and [momentarily] standing
upright like a wall; however, as soon as the wind
abates, the water collapses. So, too, kelipos in general
and Amalek in particular derive their sustenance only
from the encompassing level of Divine life-force, and
will thus 'appear and disappear with the wind.' This,
then, is what is meant by the phrase, '[G-d] has set a
limit to darkness': the darkness of the kelipos has an
appointed end, after which they will be cut off and
utterly destroyed, leaving no trace.
[***]
The Hebrew word for darkness (choshech) is spelled
ches, shin, chaf. This is also an acronym for the words
meaning donkey, ox, and dog (chamor, shor, kelev).49
[These are common pejoratives for Gentiles, who
are considered Darkness—CJB] [***] The darkness
of kelipah, [then, includes the attributes which are
alluded to by the Hebrew initials for donkey, ox and
dog, which together spell choshech — darkness].
However, '[G-d] has set a limit to darkness,' for these
very attributes may be utilized in the pursuit of
holiness.
[***]
This, then, is the meaning of the statement that
'Amalek is the first among the nations...': Amalek is the
first and root of all nations. All nations, being rooted in
the sitra achra [the other side], essentially have no
true being, inasmuch as the derive from a 'lack of
Divine desire.' Among these, Amalek is the first in rank,
for the kelipah of Amalek is that of insolence and
chutzpah, which indicates the ultimate degree of non-
being, as explained above.
This is why 'in the end he shall be destroyed,' for
kelipah will ultimately be annihilated—if [Mashiach
arrives] at the appointed time.' If, however, as a result
of Divine service in the realm of beirurim, [Mashiach
arrives] 'in haste,' then it is possible for the nations to
undergo some form of rectification. It is for this reason
that we find that the descendants of Haman publicly
studied torah. This means that there was a refinement
and rectification [of kelipah], and this in turn called
forth an additional measure of G-dly illumination." 56
Rebbe Yosef Yitzhak Schneersohn's Maamar was
supposed to bring a new Light into the world. Instead it
demonstrated that Cabalah is largely a plagiarism of Neo-
Platonism with a new component of genocide and race
hatred. The Rebbe explained the reasons why the Shells of
Impurity do not contain Light by appropriating the Neo-
Platonic idea of Deprivation as the cause of the Nullification
of Kelipot. Just as the Neo-Platonists defined Evil as the
Privation of Good due to the Lowest Levels of Emanation
having receded further and further from the One, Cabalists
believe that the Ein Sof and the Light of the Ohr Ein Sof
lacked "Divine Desire" for the Dark Vessels of Tohu and
Bohu. Therefore, when the prior Vessels of First World of
Primordial Tohu and Bohu shattered and fell into the new
World of Rectification below, The World of Tikkun, the Light
did not embed itself in the Shells of Impurity of the
Shattered Dark Vessels of Tohu, which rained down and
were unappealing to the Ein Sof and its Light. The Light
was eager to avoid the Unclean Vessels of Tohu and Bohu
and so they were Deprived of the Divine Light and the Ein
Sof's Divine Desire. This race hatred mirrors the traditional
animosity of Jewry towards Gentiles which pervades the Old
Testament.
God takes a "Measurement" to separate the Holy from
the Profane, the Jews from the Gentiles. The Jews must
always remain a separate Holy Nation from the Gentiles,
who are Unclean, lest the Jews be defiled.
Leviticus 20:26,
"And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy,
and have severed you from other people, that ye
should be mine."
Ezekiel 42:20,
"He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round
about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred
broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary
and the profane place."
Ezekiel 22:26,
"Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned
mine holy things: they have put no difference between
the holy and profane, neither have they shewed
difference between the unclean and the clean, and
have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am
profaned among them."
Ezekiel 44:23,
"And they shall teach my people the difference
between the holy and profane, and cause them to
discern between the unclean and the clean."

Leviticus 25:44-55,
"Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou
shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round
about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and
bondmaids. Moreover of the children of the strangers
that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of
their families that are with you, which they begat in
your land: and they shall be your possession. And ye
shall take them as an inheritance for your children
after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall
be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the
children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another
with rigour. And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by
thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor,
and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee,
or to the stock of the stranger's family: After that he is
sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren
may redeem him: Either his uncle, or his uncle's son,
may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of
his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may
redeem himself. And he shall reckon with him that
bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto
the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be
according unto the number of years, according to the
time of an hired servant shall it be with him. If there be
yet many years behind, according unto them he shall
give again the price of his redemption out of the money
that he was bought for. And if there remain but few
years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with
him, and according unto his years shall he give him
again the price of his redemption. And as a yearly
hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall
not rule with rigour over him in thy sight. And if he be
not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in
the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.
For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they
are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land
of Egypt: I am the Lord your God."
Jesus condemned Gentiles to slavery and elevated Jews
to mastery over the World, because under Jewish Law Non-
Jews have no choice but slavery or death under the
Noahide Laws iterated in the Talmud in Sanhedrin 56a-60b
(see also Avodah Zarah 2b-3a). Christians are idol
worshipers and so must be put to death under the Noahide
Laws.
Peace can only be obtained with Non-Jews if they submit
to slavery or are put to death. Matthew 5:9,
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called
the children of God."
John 1:1-10,
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the
beginning with God. All things were made by him; and
without him was not any thing made that was made. In
him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the
light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God,
whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to
bear witness of the Light, that all men through him
might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to
bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light,
which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him,
and the world knew him not."
John 3:19,
"And this is the condemnation, that light is come into
the world, and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil."
John 8:12,
"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the
light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk
in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
John 9:5
"As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the
world."
Hebrews 1:5-6,
"For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou
art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I
will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into
the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God
worship him."

"TO PROTOGONUS14.
THE FUMIGATION FROM MYRRH.
O MIGHTY first-begotten, hear my pray'r,
Twofold [Androgynous], eggborn, and wand'ring thro'
the air;
Bull-roarer15, glorying in thy golden wings,
From whom the race of Gods and mortal springs.
Ericapæus, celebrated pow'r;
Ineffable, occult, all-shining flow'r.
'Tis thine from darksome mists to purge the sightl6,
All-spreading splendour, pure and holy light;
Hence, Phanes, call'd the glory of the sky,
On waving pinions thro' the world you fly.
Priapus, dark-eyed splendour17, thee I sing,
Genial, all-prudent, ever blessed king.
With joyful aspect on these rites divine
And holy Telite propitious shine.
14 According to Orpheus, as related by Syrianus, in Metaph. Arist. p.
114, the first principle of all things is the one, or the good itself; and
after this, conformably to the doctrine of Pythagoras, the two principles,
ether and chaos, subsist. And of these principles, the first, or ether, is
analogous to bound; and the second, or chaos, to infinity. Afterwards,
says Syrianus, the first and occult genera of the Gods subsist, among
which the first apparent God is the king and father of the universe,
who, because he is the first visible deity, is denominated Phanes. The
whole of this first and occult genera of the Gods, which is called by the
Chaldean theologists the intelligible triad, was represented by Orpheus
under the symbol of an egg, on the exclusion of which by the Goddess
Night, the God Phanes came forth, who is hence denominated
Protogonus.
15 Phanes, or Protogonus, who subsists at the extremity of the
intelligible triad, and is therefore [***] intelligible intellect, and the
exemplar of the universe, is denominated by Plato in the Timæus [***]
animal itself, as being the primordial cause of all animal life, and was
symbolically represented by Orpheus as adorned with the heads of a
ram, a bull, a serpent, and a lion. But Jupiter, or the demiurgus of the
universe, is in the intellectual what Phanes is in the intelligible order of
Gods; and hence he is said by Orpheus to have absorbed Phanes prior
to his fabrication of the world; the theologist indicating by this his
participation of all the primary paradigmatic causes of things which
subsist in Phanes. As Porphyry, therefore, in his treatise De Antro
Nympharum, informs us, 'that the Persian deity Mithra, as well as
the bull, is the demiurgus and lord of generation, the reason is
obvious why Protogonus is called in this hymn bull-roarer, the
roaring signifying the procession of ideas to the formation of the
world. And this is conformable to what is asserted respecting
ideas in the Chaldæan oracles, viz. [***] 'The intellect of the father
made a crashing noise, understanding with unwearied counsel
omniform ideas.' For the crashing noise indicates the same thing as the
roaring of Protogonus.
l6 This line in the original is, [***] And Proclus, in the Fifth Book of his
MS. Commentary on the Parmenides of Plato, evidently, as it appears to
me, alludes to this verse. For, speaking of the intelligible monad, or the
summit of the intelligible order, at the extremity of which Protogonus
subsists, he says, 'It is by no means wonderful if this monad
comprehends the whole intellectual pentad, viz. essence, motion,
permanency, sameness, and difference, without division, and in the
most profound union; since through this union all these are after a
manner one. For all things are there without separation, according to a
dark mist, as the theologist asserts.' [***] In which passage the two last
words form a part of the above Orphic line.
But the reason why Protogonus, or Phanes, is said to purge the sight
from dark mists, is because the primary causes of things which in the
deities prior to him subsist in ineffable union, all being in all, are by
him first unfolded into intelligible light.
17 Protogonus, who is intelligible intellect, is very properly called dark-
eyed splendour; the intelligible, from its occult subsistence, being
indicated by darkness, but intellect by the eye and splendour: for it is
the province of intellect to see and unfold into light." 64
"TO BACCHUS56.
THE FUMIGATION FROM STORAX.
"TO PAN31.
THE FUMIGATION FROM VARIOUS ODOURS.
STRONG past'ral Pan, with suppliant voice I call,
Heav'n, sea, and earth, the mighty queen of all,
Immortal fire; for all the world is thine,
And all are parts of thee, O pow'r divine.
Come, blessed Pan, whom rural haunts delight,
Come, leaping, agile, wand'ring, starry light.
Thron'd with the Seasons, Bacchanalian Pan,
Goat-footed, horn'd from whom the world began;
Whose various parts, by thee inspir'd, combine
In endless dance and melody divine.
In thee a refuge from our fears we find,
Those fears peculiar to the humankind.
Thee, shepherds, streams of water, goats rejoice,
Thou lov'st the chase and Echo's secret voice:
The sportive Nymphs thy ev'ry step attend,
And all thy works fulfill their destin'd end.
O all-producing pow'r, much-fam'd, divine,
The world's great ruler, rich increase is thine.
All-fertile Pæan, heavenly splendour pure,
In fruits rejoicing, and in caves32 obscure.
True serpent-horned Jove33, whose dreadful rage,
When rous'd, 'tis hard for mortals to assuage.
By thee the earth wide-bosom'd, deep and long,
Stands on a basis permanent and strong.
Thy unwearied waters of the rolling sea,
Profoundly spreading, yield to thy decree.
Old Ocean, too, reveres thy high command,
Whose liquid arms begird the solid land.
The spacious air, whose nutrimental fire
And vivid blasts the heat of life inspire;
The lighter frame of fire, whose sparkling eye
Shines on the summit of the azure sky,
Submit alike to thee, whose gen'ral sway
All parts of matter, various form'd, obey.
All natures change thro' thy protecting care,
And all mankind thy lib'ral bounties share;
For these, where'er dispers'd thro' boundless space,
Still find thy providence support their race.
Come, Bacchanalian, blessed pow'r, draw near,
Enthusiastic Pan, thy suppliants hear,
Propitious to these holy rites attend,
And grant our lives may meet a prosp'rous end ;
Drive panic fury too, wherever found,
From humankind to earth's remotest bound.
3lPan, as we are informed by Damascius, first subsists at the extremity
of the intelligible order, being there no other than the celebrated
Protogonus or Phanes; but, according to his mundane subsistence, he
is the monad or summit of all the local Gods and dæmons. In the
statues of him his upper parts resemble those of a man, but his lower
parts those of a brute [viz. of a goat] indicating by this, that in the
universe rationality has dominion over irrationality. As, therefore,
according to his first subsistence, he is the primary exemplar of the
universe; the reason is obvious why in this hymn he is celebrated as all
things.
32 A cave, as we are informed by Porphyry De Antr. Nymph. is an apt
symbol of the material world; since it is agreeable at its first
entrance on account of its participation of form, but is involved in the
deepest obscurity to the intellectual eye, which endeavours to discern
its dark foundation. Hence, like a cave, its exterior and superficial
parts are pleasant, but its interior parts are obscure; and its very
bottom darkness itself.
33 Pan, as we have already observed, first subsists at the extremity of
the intelligible order, and is the same with Protogonus or Phanes.
This being the case, in the intellectual order he is analogous to Jupiter
the Demiurgus, by whom, according to Orpheus, Phanes was
absorbed. Hence, as Jupiter is said to be the mingler of all things by
Orpheus, as we learn from Io. Diac. Allegor. in Hasiod, p. 305, horns
are an occult symbol of the mingling power of the Demiurgus of
the world. For the literal meaning of the word [***] used in this hymn,
is horned serpent; and one of the heads of Protogonus is that of a
serpent. And the word [horned serpent] is, as Gesner observes, derived
from the verb [***] to mingle." 69
Taylor notes,
"Since, according to Orpheus, there is an intellectual
which is the source of the sensible world; the former
containing in a primary and causal manner what the
latter comprehends secondarily and sensibly; hence
the former contains an intellectual heaven and earth,
not like the material existing in place, and conversant
with the circulations of time; but subsisting
immaterially in the stable essence of eternity. In this
divine world another sun and moon and stars shine
with intellectual light; for every thing there is perfectly
lucid, light continually mingling with light. From this
heaven and earth resident in the intellectual Phanes,
Orpheus, according to Proclus, derives the sublunary
orders of the Gods; and among these (vid. Procl. in
Tim. p. 295), he enumerates the following progeny of
the intellectual earth. 'She produced seven beautiful
pure virgins with voluble eyes, and seven sons, all of
them kings, and covered with downy hair. The
daughters are Themis and prudent Tethys, and fair-
haired Mnemosy ne and blessed Thea; together with
Dione, having an illustrious form, and Phœbe, and
Rhea the mother of king Jupiter. Moreover, this
illustrious earth generated celestial sons, which are
also surnamed Titans, because they took revenge on
the great starry Heaven; and these are Cæus, and
great Cræus, and robust Phorcys, and Saturn, and
Ocean, and Hyperion, and Jupiter.' Now as Hercules is
celebrated in this hymn as the Sun, and the Sun is the
same with Hyperion, the reason is obvious why
Hercules is called 'Earth's best blossom.' And we shall
find that Saturn, in the following hymn, is called
'blossom of Earth;' and Themis, in hymn 79, 'Young
blossom of Earth;' and the Titans, in hymn 37, 'The
illustrious progeny of Heaven and Earth.' Again,
Phanes, as we are informed by Athenagoras, is
denominated by Orpheus Hercules and Time. Hence,
we see the reason why Hercules in this hymn is said 'to
shine with primogenial fires;' since he is no other than
Protogonus in the intelligible and intellectual worlds,
and the Sun in the sensible world. Or in conformity to
the Orphic theory mentioned in the Introduction, it
may be said that he is celebrated with solar epithets,
as being one of the satellites of the Sun." 70
"TO SATURN.
THE FUMIGATION FROM STORAX.
"TO RHEA37.
THE FUMIGATION FROM AROMATICS.
The Greeks believed that they ruled the world and the
Egyptians fell, because they worshiped Zeus more devoutly
than the Egyptians worshiped Osiris. The Romans thought
that they ruled the world because they worshiped Jupiter
with greater devotion than the Greeks worshiped Zeus. The
Jews believed they would rule the world if they could dupe
the Romans into abandoning their worship of Jupiter and
Knowledge, to instead worship Satan and Jesus Christ King
of the Jews, while the Jews more devoutly worshiped
Yahweh and Shekinah than the Romans had ever worshiped
Jupiter, the Greeks had ever worshiped Zeus, or the
Egyptians had ever worshiped Osiris. They considered this
mission to be a critical part of their war on the Gentiles
which was framed as a 6,000 year war of the Twelve Tribes
of the Sons of Light against the 70 Nations of the Sons of
Darkness. This war was also modeled after the Pagan
Gentiles' myths of Osiris and Phanes and the Zodiac.
Albert Pike wrote in Morals and Dogma,
"Orpheus celebrates the Triad of Phanes, Ouranos, and
Kronos. Corry says the Orphic Trinity consisted of
Metis, Phanes, and Ericapaeus; Will, Light or Love, and
Life. Acusilaus makes it consist of Metis, Eros, and
Æther: Will, Love, and Ether. Phereycides of Syros, of
Fire, Water, and Air or Spirit. In the two former we
readily recognize Osiris and Isis, the Sun and the Nile.
[***]
The twelve great Deities of the Persians, the six
Amshaspands and six Devs, marshalled, the former
under the banner of Light, and the latter under that of
Darkness, are the twelve Zodiacal Signs or Months; the
six supreme signs, or those of Light, or of Spring and
Summer, commencing with Aries, and the six inferior,
of Darkness, or of Autumn and Winter, commencing
with Libra. Limited Time, as contradistinguished from
Time without limits, or Eternity, is Time created and
measured by the celestial revolutions. It is
comprehended in a period divided into twelve parts,
each subdivided into a thousand parts, which the
Persians termed years. Thus the circle annually
traversed by the Sun was divided into 12,000 parts, or
each sign into 3,000: and thus, each year, the Principle
of Light and Good triumphed for 3,000 years, that of
Evil and Darkness for 3,000, and they mutually
destroyed each other's labors for 6,000, or 3,000 for
each: so that the Zodiac was equally divided between
them. And accordingly Ocellus Lucanus, the Disciple of
Pythagoras, held that the principal cause of all
sublunary effects resided in the Zodiac, and that from
it flowed the good or bad influences of the planets that
revolved therein.
The twenty-four good and twenty-four evil Deities,
enclosed in the Egg, are the forty-eight constellations
of the ancient sphere, equally divided between the
realms of Light and Darkness, on the concavity of the
celestial sphere which was apportioned among them;
and which, enclosing the world and planets, was the
mystic and sacred egg of the Magi, the Indians, and
the Egyptians,—the egg that issued from the mouth of
the God Kneph, that figured as the Orphic Egg in the
Mysteries of Greece, that issued from the God
Chumong of the Coresians, and from the Egyptian
Osiris and the God Phanes of the Modern Orphics,
Principle of Light,—the egg crushed by the Sacred Bull
of the Japanese, and from which the world emerged;
that placed by the Greeks at the feet of Bacchus the
bull-horned God, and from which Aristophanes makes
Love emerge, who with Night organizes Chaos.
Thus the Balance, the Scorpion, the Serpent of
Ophiucus, and the Dragon of the Hesperides became
malevolent Signs and Evil Genii; and entire nature was
divided between the two principles, and between the
agents or partial causes subordinate to them. Hence
Michael and his Archangels, and Satan and his fallen
compeers. Hence the wars of Jupiter and the Giants, in
which the Gods of Olympus fought on the side of the
Light-God, against the dark progeny of earth and
Chaos; a war which Proclus regarded as symbolizing
the resistance opposed by dark and chaotic matter to
the active and beneficent force which gives it
organization; an idea which in part appears in the old
theory of two Principles, one innate in the active and
luminous substance of Heaven, and the other in the
inert and dark substance of matter that resists the
order and the good that Heaven communicates to it.
Osiris conquers Typhon, and Ormuzd, Ahriman, when,
at the Vernal Equinox, the creative action of Heaven
and its demiourgic energy is most strongly manifested.
Then the principle of Light and Good overcomes that of
Darkness and Evil, and the world rejoices, redeemed
from cold and wintry darkness by the beneficent Sign
into which the Sun then enters triumphant and
rejoicing, after his resurrection." 75

87 According to the fragment preserved by Ficinus, which we have
before cited, Trietericus Bacchus is the gnostic power, or intellect of the
Sun. Hence as the Sun is to the sensible world what Protogonus, or
Phanes, is to the intellectual orders; for the latter illuminates those
orders with intelligible, and the former the sensible world with
supermundane light; in consequence of this analogy, the reason is
obvious why Trietericus is called in this hymn Ericapæus, i. e.
Protogonus; and also why he is said to be both the father and the
offspring of Gods. For Protugonus is intelligible intellect [***], and is the
father of the Gods; and Trietericus, or the solar intellect, subsists
causally in Protogonus, and proceeds from him and the intellectual
orders of Gods. From his causal subsistence, therefore, in Protogonus,
he is the father of the Gods; but as proceeding from them, he is their
offspring.
88 This word, and others of a similar kind, which literally signify
insanity, are to be considered according to their recondite meaning, as
indicative of a divinely inspired energy. 89 The reason why Trietericus
Bacchus is called " Loze '" in this hymn is from the profound union
subsisting between Phanes, or Protogonus, Jupiter, and Bacchus. For
the first subsistence of Love, according to the Orphic theology, is in
Phanes ; and Phanes is intelligible intellect. Bot the intelligible order to
which Phanes belongs being absorbed in the superessential, contains in
itself intellect causally, and As according to the Orphic theology
Trietericus is the intellect of the Sun, this divinity is with great
propriety celebrated in this hymn as ApoZZo golden-my'd (aaiav
~pvcrey~~s). But Hermsnn, not knowing who Trietericus is in the
Orphic theology, substitutes Svpcr~y~~s for XpvacyXvs ; conceiving
that Trietericus is the same with Bacchus, or the mzcndame intellect.
His words are, " Vocabulum ?ra~av postulat, ut nomen addatur, quo ab
Apolline distinguatur Bacchus. Itaque pro XpvaeyXvr reposui
Svpuey~qs." Vid. Orphic. Hermann. p. 317.consequently is superior to
essential intellect and intellectual vision. Hence Love, according to his
first subsistence, is said to be blind, as having e superintellectual
energy. This being premised, it is no longer wonderful tha't Trietericus
should be called Love. "For the theologist [Orpheus], says Proclus, in
Tim. lib. ii. p. 102, long before us, celebrates the demiurgic cause in
Phanes. POT there, as he says, the great Bromius, or all-seeing Jupiter,
was, and antecedently existed; in order that he might have as it were
the fountains of the twofold fabrication of things. He also celebrates the
paradigmatic cause [i. e. Phanes] in Jupiter. For again, he likewise is, as
he says, Meetis the Jirst generator, and much pleasing Love. He is also
continually denominated by him Dionysius, and Phanes, and Ericapzus.
All the causes, therefore, participate of, and are in each other." 77

"PART III
THE SOUL OF THE WORLD
In the Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians we find the
following Second Aphorism:
The Second Aphorism
II. The Germ within the Cosmic Egg takes unto
itself Form. The Flame is re-kindled. Time
begins. A Thing exists. Action begins. The Pairs
of Opposites spring into being. The World Soul is
born, and awakens into manifestation. The first
rays of the new Cosmic Day break over the
horizon.
In this Second Aphorism of Creation the Rosicrucian is
directed to apply his attention to the concept of the
World Soul—the First Manifestation of the Eternal
Parent. This World Soul—the First Manifestation—is
represented by the Rosicrucians by the symbol of a
circle containing at its centre a black dot or point. The
circle, of course, represents the Infinite Unmanifest,
and the black dot or point represents the Focal Point of
the new Manifestation—the 'Germ within the Cosmic
Egg,' as the old occultists poetically expressed the
idea.
The Rosicrucian concept of the World Soul—the First
Manifestation—corresponds to similar conceptions
found, in various forms, in most of the ancient occult
teachings of the several great esoteric schools of
philosophy. In some philosophies it is known as the
'Anima Mundi,' or Life of the World, Soul of the World,
or World Spirit. In others it is known as the Logos, or
Word. In others, as the Demiurge. The spirit of the
concept is this: that from the unconditioned essence of
Infinite Unmanifestation there arose an Elemental and
Universal Soul, clothed in the garments of the most
tenuous, elemental form of Matter, which contained
within itself the potency [Figure 4.] and latent
possibility of all the future universes of the new Cosmic
Circle, or Cosmic Day. This World Soul is spoken of in
the Second Aphorism as 'The Germ within the Cosmic
Egg,' inasmuch as it is regarded as the tiny germ
within the egg which gradually increases in size and
complexity, and takes upon itself Form and Activity.
The symbol of the Cosmic Egg, of which the World Soul
is the Animating Germ, is a very old one, and one
widely spread in usage in the ancient world. As a
prominent occultist has said: 'Whence this universal
symbol? The Egg was incorporated as a sacred sign in
the cosmogony of every people on the earth, and was
revered both on account of its form and its inner
mystery. From the earliest mental conceptions of man,
it was known as that which represented most
successfully the Origin and Secret of Being. The
gradual development of the imperceptible Germ within
the closed shell; the inward working, without any
apparent outward interference of force, which from a
latent nothing produced an active something, needing
nought save heat; and which, having gradually evolved
into a concrete, living creature, broke its shell,
appearing to the outward senses of all a self-
generated, and self-created being—must have been a
standing miracle from the beginning
'The secret teaching explains the reason for this
reference by the symbollism of the prehistoric races.
The 'First Cause ' had no name in the beginnings.
Later, it was pictured in the fancy of the thinkers as an
ever invisible Bird that dropped an Egg into Chaos,
which Egg became the Universe. Hence, Brahm was
called 'Kalahansa,' the Swan of Eternity which laid at
the beginning of each Mahamanvantara a 'Golden
Egg.' It typifies the great Circle, or O, itself a symbol
for the universe and its spherical bodies. * * * The first
manifestation of the Kosmos in the form of an egg was
the most widely diffused belief of antiquity. It was a
symbol adopted among the Greeks, the Syrians,
Persians, and Egyptians. In the Egyptian Ritual, Seb,
the god of Time and of the Earth, is spoken of as
having laid an egg, or the Universe. Ra is shown like
Brahma gestating in the Egg of the Universe. With the
Greeks the Orphic Egg was a part of the Dionysiac and
other mysteries, during which the Mundane Egg was
consecrated and its significance explained. The
Christians—especially the Greek and Latin Churches
have fully adopted this symbol, and see in it a
commemoration of life eternal, or salvation and
resurrection. This is found in and corroborated by the
custom of 'Easter Eggs.' From the 'Egg' of the pagan
Druids, to the red Easter Egg of the Slav, a cycle has
passed. And, yet, whether in civilized Europe, or
among the abject savages of Central America, we find
the same archaic, primitive thought; if we only search
for it and do not disfigure in the haughtiness of our
fancied mental and physical superiority—the original
idea of the symbol.'
The concept of the World Soul, in some form of
interpretation and under some one of many names,
may be said to be practically universal. Among many of
the ancient schools of philosophy it was taught that
there was an Anima Mundi, or World Soul, of which all
the individual souls were but apparently separated
(though not actually separated ) units. The conviction
that Life was One is expressed through nearly all of the
best of ancient philosophies; and, in fact, in subtly
disguised forms, may be said to rest at the base of the
best of modern philosophies.
In the philosophical concept of the Logos, we find
another, and more advanced, form of this same
fundamental concept. The term, Logos, first became
prominent in the philosophy of Heraclitus of Ephesus,
where it appears as the Law of Nature, objective in the
world, giving order and regularity to the movement of
things. The Logos formed an important part of the
Stoic System of Philosophy. The Active Principle,
abiding in the world, they called the Logos, the term
being likewise applied to the Universal Productive
Cause. An authority on the history of philosophy has
said of the concept of the Logos: 'The Logos, a being
intermediate between God and the World, is diffused
through the world of the senses. The Logos does not
exist from Eternity like God, and yet its genesis is not
like our own and that of all other created beings. It is
the First-Begotten of God, and is for us imperfect
beings almost as a God. Through the agency of the
Logos, God created the World.
In the philosophical concept of the Demiurge, we find
another form of the same fundamental concept. The
Demiurge was the name given by the Platonian
philosophers to an exalted and mysterious agent by
whom God was supposed to have created the universe.
He was akin to the Nature-God of the Pantheists, and
to the 'Living Nature' of other schools of philosophy.
The Demiurge was the Life of the World, or Universal
Life, of which all the innumerable lives of finite
creatures are but sparks in the flame or drops of water
in the ocean. And, yet, in its true sense, the concept of
the Demiurge was not identified with that of God, but
was rather a concept of the First Great Manifestation
of God, by means of which He creates and sustains the
World.
The idea of a Universal Will, a primal manifestation of
God, existing at the Heart of Nature, and operating to
build up and sustain the Universe, is found in many
modern philosophies. Cudsworth, the English
philosopher has sought to indicate this conception in
his idea of 'Plastic Nature, ' of which he says: 'It seems
not so agreeable that Nature, as a distinct thing from
the Deity, should be quite superseded or made to
signifying nothing, God Himself doing all things
immediately and miraculously; from whence it would
follow also that they are all done either forcibly and
violently, or else artificially only, and none of them by
any inward principle of their own. This opinion is
further confuted by that slow and gradual process that
in the generation of things, which would seem to be
but a vain and idle pomp or a trifling formality if the
moving power were omnipotent; as also by those
errors and bungles which are committed where the
matter is inept and contumacious; which argue that
the moving power be not irresistible, and that Nature
is such a thing as is not altogether incapable (as well as
human art) of being sometimes frustrated and
disappointed by the indisposition of matter. Whereas
an omnipotent moving power, as it could dispatch its
work in a moment, so would it always do it infallibly
and irresistibly, no ineptitude and stubborness of
matter being ever able to hinder such a one, or make
him bungle or fumble in anything.
'Therefore, since neither all things are produced
fortuitously, or by the unguided mechanism of matter,
nor God himself may be reasonably thought to do all
things immediately and miraculously, it may well be
concluded that there is a Plastic Nature under him,
which, as an inferior and subordinate instrument, doth
drudgingly execute that part of his providence which
consists in the regular and orderly motion of matter;
yet so as there is also besides this a higher providence
to be acknowledged, which, presiding over it, doth
often supply the defects of it, and sometimes overrules
it, forasmuch as the Plastic Nature cannot act
electively nor with discretion.'
Other schools of philosophy, notably that founded by
Schopenhauer, have postulated the presence of a
Universal Spirit (whose chief attribute is Desire-Will)
from whom the universe of creatures has proceeded.
This Universal Spirit is held to be filled with a longing,
craving, seeking, striving desire to express itself in
phenomenal existence. Schopenhauer calls it 'The Will
to Live. ' It is described as instinctive rather than
intellectual, and as creating intellect with which to
better serve its purposes of self-expression. Other
philosophers have proceeded along the main lines of
the concept of Schopenhauer, with various
modifications. The same idea is expressed by some of
the old Buddhistic philosophers, the very term 'The
Will-to-Live' being used to express the essential nature
of the Universal Spirit. But, it must be noted, in such
philosophies the Universal Spirit is considered rather
as the Eternal Parent than as its First Manifestation. In
the same way a certain school of thinkers postulate the
existence of a 'Living Nature,' which expresses itself in
innumerable living creatures and things—all Things in
the universe being held to possess Life in some form
and degree, as, indeed, the Rosicrucian creatures also
hold.
But it must be always noted that in the Secret Doctrine
of the Rosicrucians the World Soul is not regarded as
the Infinite Reality, but merely as the First
Manifestation thereof, from which all subsequent
manifestations proceed and into which they are finally
resolved. The World Soul is not Eternal, but, on the
contrary, appears and disappears according to the
rhythm of the Cosmic Nights and Days.
The Second Aphorism states: 'The Flame is
rekindled.' The Dark Light once more bursts into
Flame throughout the form of the World Soul, and the
new Universe begins.
It also states: 'Time begins.' This is seen to be true
because Change has begun, and Change is the essence
of Time, and Time the measure of Change.
Again: 'A Thing exists.' This because the World Soul
is truly a Thing, with all the characteristics of
Thingness. It can be defined and described in positive
terms; it can be thought of logically and in terms of
intellect, though perhaps not capable of being pictured
in the imagination.
Again: 'Action begins.' This because from the very
inception of the Germ in the Cosmic Egg there is the
manifestation of Activity, Motion, and Change. The
World Soul is in constant and uninterrupted activity
from the moment of its faintest dawn until the moment
of its expiring quiver.
Again: 'The Pairs of Opposites spring into being.
As all Thingness is accompanied by the presence of the
Pairs of Opposites—the contrasting sets of qualities, it
follows that from the first faint breath of the World
Spirit differentiation begins, and the polarity of
qualities exhibit themselves.
Again: 'The World Soul is born, and awakens into
manifestation.' The World Soul awakens into active
manifestation from the very moment of its birth.
Finding within itself the impelling urge of the Will-to-
Live and of Expression, it proceeds at once, along the
lines of elementary Instinct to prepare for
manifestation of higher and more complex forms of life
and action.
Again: 'The first rays of the new Cosmic Day break
over the horizon.' With the coming of the World Soul
the new Cosmic Day is indeed begun, and proceeds
without interruption until the shades of the Cosmic
Night once more overtake it in cyclic sequence.
The Rosicrucian Teaching is that the World Soul is not
a soul lacking a body, but that, on the contrary, it is
clothed in the garments of the most tenuous and
ethereal substance a substance as much finer and
more ethereal than the Ether of Space, of the material
scientists, as the latter is much finer and more ethereal
than the hardest steel or granite. From this ethereal
substance the World Soul weaves bodies for its
manifestations, even the densest forms of matter and
even the tenuous bodily form of the highest forms of
life, far removed from our comparatively gross earth-
plane.
The Rosicrucians further hold that it is not correct to
think of the World Soul as having been created 'out of
nothing ' by the Eternal Parent, and still less so think of
it having been created from the substantial essence of
the Eternal Parent by division, separation, or partition
(such ideas being held to be logically impossible and
fallacious). On the contrary, it is held that the World
Soul exists as an IDEA of the Eternal Parent—just as, in
a day dream, or a reverie, or a full dream, we may
picture a Thing as in being. Or in other terms, even the
World Soul exists merely as a PICTURE in the Infinite
Imagination of the Eternal Parent, and at the last is but
a SHADOW of Reality, and not Reality itself.
The World Soul, at the Dawn of the Cosmic Day, may be
said to be like a dreamer freshly awakened from a
deep sleep, and striving to regain conscious ness of
himself. It does not know what it is, nor does it know
that it is but an Idea of the Eternal Parent. If it could
express its thought in words it would say that it has
always been, but had been asleep before that moment.
It feels within itself the urge toward expression and
manifestation, along unconscious and instinctive lines
—this urge being a part of its nature and character
and implanted into it by the content of the Idea of the
Eternal Parent which brought it into being. Like the
newborn babe, it struggles for breath and begins to
move its limbs. And as it struggles and moves, there
comes to it a response from all of its nature, and its
active life begins. And here we leave the World Soul,
for the moment, struggling for breath and striving to
move its limbs (figuratively speaking, of course). Its
future is related in the succeeding Aphorisms.
PART IV
THE UNIVERSAL ANDROGYNE
In the Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians, we find the
following Third Aphorism:
The Third Aphorism III.
The One became Two. The Neuter became Bi-
Sexual. Male and Female—the Two in One—
evolved from the Neuter. And the work of
Generation began.
In this Third Aphorism of Creation the Rosicrucian is
directed to apply his attention to the conception of the
World Soul—the First Manifestation of the Eternal
Parent—as a Bi-sexual Universal Being. This Bi-Sexual
Universal Being, combining within itself the elements
and principles of both Masculinity and Femininity, is
known in the Rosicrucian Teachings as 'The Universal
Hermaphrodite,' and 'The Universal Androgyne.'
The term 'Hermaphrodite' is defined as: 'An individual
which has the attributes of both Male and Female.' The
term is derived by joining together the two names, viz.,
Hermes and Aphrodite. The term came into ancient
use through the legend of Hermaphroditus, son of
Hermes and Aphrodite, who, while bathing, became
joined in one body with the nymph Salmacis. The term
'Androgyne' is defined as: 'An individual possessing the
attributes of both Male and Female; a Hermaphrodite.'
The term is derived from the combination of two Greek
words, viz., 'Andros,' meaning 'a man,' and 'Gyne,'
meaning 'a woman.'
The conception of the Bi-Sexuality in the Universal
Manifestation, or Universal Being, is one met with on
all sides in the ancient esoteric and occult philosophies
in all lands. In ancient Greece, in [Figure 5.] Ancient
India, and in Ancient Atlantis, Persia, and Chaldea the
doctrine formed an important part of the Inner
Teachings. In its highest forms, this teaching lay at the
very heart of the Ancient Mysteries, and resulted in the
very highest and noblest conception of the dignity and
worthiness of Sex. But prostituted by the vulgar
popular mind, encouraged by a debased priesthood,
the same teachings were inverted and made to serve
as the basis of the various degenerate phase of Phallic
Worship, the traces of which are found on every page
of ancient philosophical or religious history. The
Rosicrucians have never countenanced even the slight
descent into Phallicism, but, on the contrary have kept
alive the Flame of the True Teaching, and have used its
particular symbol as the distinctive symbolic name and
emblem of the Order. [Figure 6.]
In order to understand the symbology of the Universal
Androgyne, it is necessary to first become familiar with
the two ancient symbols of Sex. In all the ancient
philosophies and religions, we find that the 'Cross' ( + )
is the symbol of the Male; and the 'Circle' ( O ) the
symbol of the Female. In representing the Bisexual, the
Hermaphrodite, the Androgyne, the two symbols, i. e.
the Cross and the Circle are combined in one of several
ways. The original way was that of placing the Cross
within the circumference of the Circle; but later usage
preferred the various forms of the so-called 'Phallic
Cross,' which consists of the Circle, or Oval, sustaining
the Cross which depends downward from it. (See
illustrations.) Sometimes the Cross is represented as
the letter 'T', and the Circle as the letter 'O'. [Figure
7.]
The well-known esoteric symbol, the 'Swastica' ( see
illustration ) consists of a modified Cross, conceived as
a 'whirling wheel' (something like the familiar spinning
'pin wheel' of the boys' fire works.) The whirling Cross
of the Swastica, when seen in rapid motion, presents
the appearance of a Circle enclosing a Cross.
This symbol of the 'Circle enclosing the Cross ' is one
particularly sacred to the Rosicrucians, since to them it
represents the Universal Activity and Universal
Creation, symbolizing the Great Mystery of Occult
Generation on all planes of Life. In the fanciful
symbology of the ancient Rosicrucian Brother hoods,
the Circle was transformed into the Rose, and the
Cross sometimes transformed into the Sword with its
Cross-like handle. The sign, then, of the Cross (or
Sword) combined with the Circle (or Rose), symbolized
the Mystic Union of the Rose and the Cross, from
whence arose the name of the Order, i.e. Rosi-Crucian,
meaning 'Rose-Cross.'
The Third Aphorism states: 'The One became Two.
The Neuter became Bi-Sexual. Male and Female
—the Two in One—evolved from the Neuter. And
the Work of Creation began.'
In this Aphorism there is given the 'hint' at the very
important teaching of the Rosicrucians concerning the
Universal Sex Principles in Nature—the presence and
activity of the Sexual Pairs of Opposites, Male and
Female, which constitute the Secret of Creation.
According to the Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians,
there are present in All-Creation the activities of a
Male Principle and a Female Principle, both Universal
in Nature, Character and Extent—both Opposing
Aspects of the World Soul—which act and react, one
upon the other, and thus produce all Creative Activity
and the 'Cosmic Becoming' or Universal Activity and
Change. And the teachings also are that these Two Sex
Principles operate and manifest upon every plane of
Life, from the Sub-Mineral, on to the Mineral, on to the
Plant, on to the Animal, on to the Human, or to the
Super Human, on to the Angelic or God-like. And,
likewise, that in every Thing in Creation there is
present and manifest the activity of Sex.
The above statement of the Universality of Sex may
seem somewhat surprising to the person who has not
acquainted himself, or herself, with the Ancient
Wisdom of the Esoteric Schools; or who is not familiar
with the daring conceptions of advanced modern
science. But to that one who has mastered the ancient
wisdom-teachings, and who has likewise become
acquainted with the best of modern advanced scientific
thought, there will seem nothing strange about these
statements. The ancient teachings taught positively
that there was present and active Sex in all
Manifestated Creation; and Modern Science is
beginning to teach that the evidence of the presence of
Sex in every Thing is conclusive.
The ancient teachings, which were later embodied in
the early Rosicrucian teachings, held that in order that
there might be Becoming, Change, or Creation, there
must be Re-action following Action—the play of one
force on another. And the best teachings of the
ancients were that these two opposing forces in
Nature were Masculine, and Feminine, respectively—
dual aspects of the Universal Being. And Modern
Science is fast coming to recognize and teach the same
great truth.
The best teachings of modern science is that there is a
stimulating or fertilizing activity in nature which acts
upon a generative force, the latter reacting upon the
former. And, at the other end of the material scale, we
find the teaching that the atom (once supposed to be
the ultimate form of matter) is now discovered to be
composed of a multitude of electrons, corpuscles, or
ions (different names for the same thing) revolving
around each other at a tremendous rate of motion. It
was formerly supposed that the electrons simply
revolved one around another, and that all were alike in
character and nature; but the later discoveries show
that the formation of the atom is due rather to the
action of numerous circling positive (or 'male')
electrons around a central negative (or ' female ')
electron, the positive (or 'male') electrons seemingly
exerting a peculiar effect upon the negative (or
'female') electron, causing her to put forth certain
energies which result in the 'generation' of the atomic
structure.
This is in perfect accordance with the old Rosicrucian
doctrine that the 'positive' pole of magnetism and
electricity (for both were well known to the ancient
alchemists) was 'masculine,' and that the 'negative'
pole of the same was 'feminine.' But, unfortunately, the
terms 'positive' and 'negative,' respectively are used
with the wrong implication and much confusion results
therefrom. For instance, the term 'positive' is used to
indicate strength and reality, as opposed to
weaknesses and unreality of the 'negative.' But the
real facts of physical science show us the falsity of such
an interpretation of these terms. The so-called
'negative' pole of the battery is really the pole of
generation or the production of new forms and
energies—the best authorities now prefer to use the
term 'the cathode pole' in place of 'the negative;' the
word 'cathode' being derived from the Greek word
meaning 'descent; the path of generation,' etc. From
the 'cathode' pole of the battery emerge the great
swarms of electrons, ions, or corpuscles; and from the
same pole also emerge the wonderful 'rays' which have
played such an important part in modern physics. The
'cathode' pole of the battery is the Mother of all that
strange brood of new forms of matter which have
appeared to confute the old materialistic theories, and
to destroy the old conceptions of science. The 'cathode'
pole should, in reality and truth, be called the 'female'
pole; and the 'positive' the 'male,' for such terms truly
represent their true respective offices.
Modern science also teaches that the electrons which
are 'composed of negative (female) electricity,'
frequently becomes detached from its male companion
corpuscles, and starts on an independent career. It
seeks a union with a masculine corpuscle, and gaining
it a new set of creative activity is begun. When the
female corpuscle unites with the new masculine one a
strange phenomenon occurs; the corpuscles began
vibrating and circling around each other, and the
result is the birth of a new atom in which is combined
the masculine and feminine energies in some
particular proportion. The atom, thus formed, does not
manifest the properties of free electricity but manifests
an entirely new set of properties. The process of
detachment of the feminine electrons is called
'ionization;' and arising from such detachments and
the formation of new unions result the varied
phenomena of heat, light, electricity, magnetism, etc.
In the same way, the varied phenomena of 'chemical
attraction' and 'chemical affinity' arise from the
manifestation of Sex on the atomic plane, though
science has not as yet perceived this to be the truth.
Science teaches that there are 'marriages, divorces,
and re-marriages' among the atoms, but it hesitates to
go further and assert that this is a part of the universal
Sex manifestation—but this announcement must come
in time for the evidence is overwhelmingly convincing.
The explosive properties of certain substances really
result from a 'divorce' of the atomic and molecular
parties—the detachment of the male and female
particles under the influence of a stronger attraction;
and the formation of the different substances result
from the attractive unions of certain male and female
elements of matter. Alchemy has always known this to
be a fact; it remains for modern science to corroborate
and reaffirm the 'vagaries' of the old alchemists
regarding this important fact of nature.
It has always been admitted by science that there was
Sex manifest in plant-life as well as by animal-life, but
the mineral-life was not given the benefit of the
manifestation of the universal principle of Sex. But
recent discoveries have forced upon scientists the fact
that in the crystallization of minerals there is an
unmistakable evidence of the presence and activity of
Sex, and in the near future it will be found that all the
other changes in minerals are the result of Sex-
attraction or repulsion. And, as we shall see in a
subsequent chapter of this book, there is present the
activity of Sex on the mental planes of life.
In short, on each and every plane of Life, physical,
mental, or spiritual there is found present and active
the Universal Principle of Sex, in some of its phases
and forms. Sex cannot be escaped in Nature—the
Universe is Bi-Sexual, and all Creation, on every plane,
is caused by Sex and Sex only. A full understanding of
this important fact would revolutionize the conceptions
of modern science, and render practicable many
important ideas which now exist merely as dreams in
the minds of the advanced scientists. To those who
cannot see this plainly, we would say: It is admitted
that all physical and mental phenomena depend for
activity upon the Law of Attraction. When it is
discovered that the law of Attraction proceeds along
the lines of Sex, and Sex alone, then it is seen that all
activity is Sex-Activity.
Had the World -Soul remained Neuter, there would
have been no Universal Manifestation or Creation. It
was necessary that the Principle of Sex should appear,
in order that Creation should begin. It is only by the
constant and continuous action and reaction of the Two
Sex Principles in Nature that Creation, Process,
Becoming, and Change is possible—and as all Things
are but the products of Change, Process, Becoming,
and Creation, it follows that without Sex there would
have been to Things in the Universe and in that even
the World Soul would have abided apart, alone, and
single until the end of its days. With the introduction of
Sex came the beginning of Generation and Creation,
under which the One became the Many and Sameness
became Variety and Diversity. The ancient teachings
furnish the only logical explanation of Creation. The
One becomes the Two, and from the Two proceed the
Many.
PART V
THE ONE AND THE MANY
In the Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians, we find the
following Fourth Aphorism:
The Fourth Aphorism
IV. The One becomes Many. The Unity becomes
Diversity. The Identical becomes Variety. Yet the
Many remains One; the Diversity remains Unity ;
and the Variety remains Identical.
In this Fourth Aphorism of Creation, the Rosicrucian is
directed to apply his attention to the concept of the
World Soul—the First Manifestation of the Eternal
Parent—as a One Manifesting as Many; a Unity
manifesting as Diversity; an Identical manifesting as
Variety: yet, nothwithstanding such manifestations,
remaining ever One, Unity, and Identical.
This concept of the World Soul, so manifesting itself in
Manifoldness, Diversity, and Variety, yet ever remaining
One, Unity, and Identical, is represented by the
Rosicrucians by the symbol of a small circle within a
larger circle, the smaller circles being filled with tiny
points or centres of manifestation. The outer circle is,
of course, the Infinite Unmanifest; the smaller circle, of
course, being the World Soul; and the small dots, or
points, being the individualized centres of life, being,
and activity manifested by the World Soul.
That all beings are, in truth, but expressions of the One
Being—centres of consciousness, form, and activity
within itself,—is a fundamental tenet of all occult and
esoteric teaching. That all Being is One; all Life, One;
all Form, One; all Consciousness, One, is known to all
true disciples of the occult and esoteric teachings of
the past and present, occidental and oriental,
philosophical and theological. Hidden [Figure 8.]
behind and under the orthodox, exoteric teachings,
there is always to be found this insistence upon
Essential Oneness on the part of the Inner Teachings of
all schools.
That there is but One Life, and not Many Lives, is a
fundamental article of all occult and esoteric faith. The
One Life, moreover, is not to be thought of as dividing
and splitting itself up into bits, parts, and particles, in
order to accomplish the process of Creation, and the
Manifestation of the World. Instead, it is to be thought
of as merely reflecting itself in the many individual
mirrors of expression, just as the sun reflects itself as
One in the millions of falling raindrops, or in a million
tiny jars filled with water. There are millions of
reflections of the One, but only the one One in reality.
Or, using another figure of speech, the One may be
thought of as an Infinite Ocean of Being, in which there
are millions of tiny bubbles, each apparently apart and
separate, but all of which are in reality, but centres of
activity and expression in the One Great Ocean.
Separateness is, to quote a writer, 'but the working
fiction of Creation.' All the apparently separated
Things are contained within the circle of the World
Soul—and the latter is contained within the circle of
the Infinite Unmanifest.
Not only is this esoteric conception of the Many in One,
and the One in Many, a fundamental conception of the
ancient esoteric and occult teachings, but the same
truth in another form is presented by advanced
modern science in its conception of the Universal
Substance. Science postulates the existence of a
Universal Substance, known under many names, from
which all Things proceed. It matters not whether this
Universal Substance be called 'Primordial Substance,'
or 'Infinite and Eternal Energy,' or 'The Universal
Ether,' the fact remains that science postulates its
existence as a fundamental, substantial Something, of
and in which all forms and phases of phenomenal
existence are but manifestations. In the same way,
those schools of transcendental philosophy which
postulate the existence of a Universal Mind teach that
all forms and phases of phenomenal existence are but
Thought Forms in the Universal Mind. And the old
Brahmanical teachings likewise hold that the Many
exist but as incidents of the 'dream' or 'meditation' of
the Lord High Brahma.
In all forms, phases, and schools of philosophy we find
this insistence upon the presence and existence of a
One Something of which all else are but
manifestations. In fact, as the wisest philosophers have
informed us, the whole purpose of philosophy is to
discover the One Unconditioned Ground of all that
exists Conditionally. All philosophy worthy of the name
is Monistic in essence. A leading authority on the
history of philosophy informs us the: 'Monism is, in
strictness, a name applicable to any system of thought
which sees in the universe the manifestation or
working of a single principle. Such a unity may be at
once the tacit presupposition and the goal of all
philosophic effect, and in so far as a philosophy fails to
harmonize the apparently independent and even
conflicting facts of experience, as aspects or elements
within a larger whole, it must be held to fall short of
the necessary ideal of thought. Dualism, in an ultimate
metaphysical reference, is a confession of the failure of
philosophy to achieve its proper task; and this is a
justification of those who consistently use the word as a
term of reproach.'
And, now, let us take a brief passing glance at the
Rosicrucian teachings concerning the manner in which
the One proceeded to become the Many—the Unity to
become Diversity—the Identical to become Variety—
and yet remain the One, Unity, Identity of the World
Soul, unaffected and unchanged by its plunge into
Manifestation. Evolution we see on all sides around us,
but all Evolution must be preceded by Involution, as all
occultists and scientists know full well.
Modern Science, in pursuing its discoveries along the
lines of Evolution, has almost entirely ignored the twin-
activity of Manifestation, which is known as Involution.
Not so the ancient occulists, however, for they knew
full well the truth so forcibly expressed in the words of
a modern 'plain speaking' philosopher who said: 'You
can never get out of a thing anything which is not
already involved in it.' And to the ancient student of the
esoteric teachings any idea of Evolution which did not
begin with the teachings concerning Involution was
like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. There is an
ancient saying which runs: 'That which is evolved must
previously have been involved;' and in this simple
statement is condensed a volume of important occult
lore.
The term 'Involve' means 'to wrap up; to cover; to
hide; etc.' The term 'Evolve' means 'to unwrap; to
unfold; to un-roll; etc.' With these meanings in mind,
the student sees at once that before a thing can be
'unwrapped, un-folded, un-rolled,' it must have first
been wrapped-up, folded-up, rolled-up. We must not
lose sight of the meaning attached to the simple terms,
no matter how many high-sounding terms are
substituted for these. The same thing remains the
same thing, no matter how many new names are
attached to it.
The esoteric teachings, as has been said, clearly and
positively state that before there began the wonderful
process of Evolution from simple to more complex
forms of manifestation—from lower to higher—there
must first have been an 'involution' or in folding of the
World Soul into the simple, gross, elemental forms of
matter. The vibrations must have been first lowered,
before they can have been increased.
Plunging at once, with terrific speed and force, into the
abyss of Manifestation, the World Soul created for itself
material garments of the densest and grossest
elemental matter. This extreme form of elemental
matter is not known to us today, for it has been
discarded in the course of evolution on this particular
planet. It, however, still exists on other planets of our
solar system. This form, or forms, of elemental matter
is below the scale of the minerals, and is as much lower
than the grossest mineral known to science as that
mineral is lower than the highest plant. In texture,
structure, and density the extreme form of elemental
matter is as much grosser than the lowest form of
mineral known to us, as the latter is grosser than the
highest form of ethereal vapor or radiant matter
known to modern science. It is useless to try to
describe this form of matter, for the ordinary mind
cannot grasp it in the absence of concrete illustration.
When the lowest point in the scale of Involution was
reached, then the Law of Rhythm asserted it self, and
the upward climb began—the first movement of
Evolution began to manifest itself. And, at this precise
point, there was begun the manifestation of what may
be termed 'individualization,' or the forming of centres
of activity and consciousness. The World Soul
descended into the depth of Involution enmasse, and
then began to emerge from those depths by an
apparent 'splitting up' process, in which the active
new-born centres of activity began to assert
themselves and to move upward toward self-
expression. The simpler centres which occultists know
to be the centers of activity in the electrons of matter
began to form molecules. There was of course
manifested the presence of mind within this gross
matter—but only the faint glimmerings were
manifested, for the gross enveloping sheaths of matter
almost smothered the mental principles involved within
them.
The Process of Evolution once begun, it proceeded
rapidly. Higher and higher in the scale of manifestation
rose the Things—in spiralic process, each spiral rising
above the one beneath it, and yet each proceeding
apparently in a circle, as do all proceeding things. In
due time the first signs of the mineral kingdom began
to show themselves, building upon the basis of the sub-
mineral forms of matter. In the mineral kingdom began
to manifest higher forms of life and mind—for, as the
occultists know well, the minerals possess both life and
mind in a certain degree. And then later appeared the
first signs of plant life—forms but slightly above those
of certain crystals.
When the temperature of the earth was at a point at
which life is commonly believed to be impossible, there
were present certain strange forms of life, which may
be described as half mineral—half plant. These crystals
reproduced themselves by a splitting up process, and
grew from the inside as do plants. These life forms
were composed of the same materials as the crystals
from which they evolved—but they possessed a greater
degree of life and mind, and while from one point of
view they may be said to have been minerals, yet from
another they may truly be said to have been plants.
These strange creatures have disappeared as have all
other 'intermediate forms' which have played the parts
of bridges in the evolutionary process. But they have
left their traces in the material bodies of both plants
and animals. For it must be remembered that even the
bodies of the highest forms of plant or animal life are
composed of certain chemical elements which were
derived from the mineral kingdom, as for instance,
oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, sulphur,
phosphorus, etc.
The first forms of real plant life are described by the
old teachers as having been a now-extinct lowly form of
plant-life scarcely more than a crystal in appearance,
and yet manifesting the characteristics of plant life.
Then appeared the ancestors of what are now known
as the 'chlomacea' which are a strange group of lowly
creatures, comprising the characteristics of both plant
and mineral life, and being found even today in the
deposits upon damp rocks, the bark of trees, etc. From
this and simpler creatures evolved the ancestors of
what are now known as the 'angiospores,' or lowest
forms of plant-life; and later, the ancestors of the
'gymnospores,' which are probably the lowest forms of
animal-life known to science today.
The Process of Evolution is caused by the constant
striving of the Life and Mind within the sheaths of
matter—the striving to express more and still more of
themselves, and to mould and use the sheaths of
matter in the work of self-expression. Protoplasm, the
physical basis of plant and animal life, was evolved in
this way. Then came the single-celled creature which
dwelt in the slime of the ancient ocean beds. Then
forms of life composed of colonies of cells appeared.
Then more complex forms of cell combination, and so
on, and on, until the highest forms of life known to us
today were evolved.
Finally, primitive man was evolved. Then man began to
improve in mind and feeling. And he is still making
progress along these lines. But man (of today) is
merely a high stage of the evolutionary process, and
he, in turn, will be succeeded by the Super-Men of the
future, and these in turn by the god-like angelic
creatures, the like of whom are in existence on other
and high spheres even this day.
But always remember that in all the millions of types of
living forms, and the millions upon millions upon
millions of individuals ensouling these forms, there is
no real separateness. All life is One—and all Life but
the Life of the World Soul. Therefore, in the symbol of
the Rosicrucians—the countless points within the
smaller circle, which in turn is enclosed within the
larger circle—we have the picture of the Eternal
Parent and its First Manifestation, the World Soul, the
latter manifesting in the countless life-forms of the
World of Manifestation. And, the work of Evolution is
still underway, and higher and higher forms of
expression will proceed from within the Involved Being
of the World Soul which is ever striving and struggling
to manifest itself in self-expression." 85

The number Three is an odd number. Odd numbers
follow the archetype of the number One and therefore are
also masculine like the Father, such that the child of the
Trinity is called the "Son" and is the totality of the
Androgynous Triad in One. The number Two is divided into
two ones and so represents polarity and opposites such as
Evil and Good, Darkness and Light. In Cabalah this is why
the Female is considered both Evil and Good and the
Mother sits atop the Evil Other Side on the lefthand Pillar of
Severity on the Tree of Life.
In the original Greek, the Gnostic "Abraxas" is written
as ’Αβραξας. In Greek gematria the name Abraxas totals

as Emanations of the First Cause, 90
In both the story of the Garden of Eden and that of the
Tower of Babel, the gods feared man's approaching Divinity
and prevented it by stripping man of Knowledge and
confusing social relationships so that human beings cannot
productively cooperate with one another to challenge the
gods. In the case of the Garden of Eden, Eve was cursed in
childbirth as a Female and Adam was cursed to work the
fields and become a slave to his Body to the detriment of his
Intellect in order to provide for himself and his family. The
Body is the yoke which keeps the Soul from ascending to
Heaven.
In Cabalistic lore, the sexes themselves are separated
from their androgynous original self as a form of
punishment. The child of the Serpent and Eve, Cain and his
descendants are cursed to be at odds with the children of
Adam and Eve, which foreshadows Cain's murder of Abel
and the enmity and perpetual war between Esau and Jacob,
signifying the Gentiles and the Jews, which divided
humanity and prevents their forming a unified front against
the gods and the curse of Fate.

The Ein Sof and Ohr Ein Sof did not find the Dark
Vessels of Tohu and Bohu pleasing. In the language of
Cabalah, they had no "Divine Desire" to contain the Divine
Light in these Dark Vessels. So the Dark Vessels of Tohu and
Bohu remained Dark when the Light withdrew. Their only
existence came from the ambient Light which remained
when the majority of the Light was Rectified back into the
Ohr Ein Sof and then again shot back into the Impression in
a reciprocal and Chaotic process (Ratzo and Shuv) that
carried on for some time and was motivated by
concealment.
But the Divine Light refused to remain in the Dark
Vessels, because of a lack of Divine Desire to be contained
within these Vessels of Impurity. Ratzo is the will of the
Light to return to its source in the Ohr Ein Sof. Shuv is the
concession the Light makes to the Divine Will of the Ein Sof
to emanate and descend, so that the Physical World Olam
Assiah can be formed, Rectified and serve as an Earthly
throne for the Godhead. Ratzo is the Cabalistic equivalent
of the driving force behind Epistrophé. Shuv is the
Cabalistic equivalent of the desire of the One to Emanate.
The Light only settled in the Vessels of Light in the
World Tikkun, which Vessels the Light itself formed and
which Vessels the Ein Sof and Divine Light found pleasing.
Since much of the Light had returned to the Ohr Ein Sof
and was Nullified, the Light was less intense at this stage
than it had been, and could be more easily kept in Vessels.
The Vessels also became larger, more mature and stronger
making them more stable. The Light entered the Ten
Sephirot of the World of Emanation Olam Atzilut in the
settled state (Shuv) of Tikkun (Rectification). The Dark
Vessels of Tohu and Bohu shattered (Shevirat Ha-Kelim)
and fell into the Lower Worlds of Rectification (Tikkun).
Seven of the Lower Vessels of Light comprising the Seven
Lower Sephirot below the Great Divide also shattered.
The shattered Dark Vessels and the shattered Vessels of
Light eventual fell into the World of Action Olam Assiah
which contains our Present World. The fragments of the
shattered Vessels of Light from the Higher Worlds of
Rectification had Sparks of Holiness (Nitzutzei Kodesh)
embedded within them, because the Divine Desire caused
the Light to cling to the remains of the Vessels of Light
which it finds pleasing. Most of the remainder of the Light
returned to the Ohr Ein Sof and was Nullified into Unity.
The shattered fragments of the Vessels of Darkness from
Tohu and Bohu contained no Light due to a lack of Divine
Desire for the Light to remain in these displeasing vessels.
The existence of the Shells of Impurity of the fragments of
the Dark Vessels (Kelipot) only continued at each Lower
Level in the Worlds of Rectification because of the ambient
Peripheral Light Ohr Makif which shined on the them. The
peripheral glow generated by the Divine Light surrounding
the Kelipot sustained them, but they did not shine from
within. When this Light and the Material of the Vessels of
Light are Rectified they become like the Higher Worlds of
Rectification which purges all Darkness from the Lower
Level. This totally Nullifies the Kelipot that have no ambient
Light to give them Energy, Form and Essence and so they
fade away into Nothingness forever.
There is an elaborate set of Worlds, Kings, Gods, Levels
of the Soul, correspondences with the Sephirot and
Tetragrammaton, etc. in the Jewish Universe and a
corresponding set in Gentile Counter-Universe which
appear to be derived from the Orphic myths with little more
than a change of the names. Taylor wrote of one such
Hierarchy in his Additional Notes to his translations of the
Orphic Hymns,
"This royal series consists of Phanes, Night, Heaven,
Saturn, Jupiter, Bacchus. 'Ancient theologists (says
Syrianus, in his Commentary on the fourteenth book of
Aristotle's Metaphysics) assert that Night and Heaven
reigned, and prior to these the mighty father of Night
and Heaven, who distributed the world to Gods and
mortals, and who first possessed royal authority, the
illustrious Ericapæus. [***] Night succeeded
Ericapæus, in the hands of whom she has a sceptre:
[***] To Night Heaven succeeded, who first reigned
over the Gods after mother Night. [***] Chaos
transcends the habitude of sovereign dominion: and,
with respect to Jupiter, the oracles given to him by
Night manifestly call him not the first, but the fifth
immortal king of the Gods. [***] According to these
theologists therefore, that principle which is most
eminently the first, is the one or the good, after which,
according to Pythagoras, are those two principles
Æther and Chaos, which are superior to the possession
of sovereign dominion. In the next place succeed the
first and occult genera of the Gods, in which first
shines forth the father and king of all wholes, and
whom on this account they call Phanes." 106

and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt
seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that
contended with thee: they that war against thee shall
be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the Lord
thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear
not; I will help thee. Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye
men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy
redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Behold, I will make
thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth:
thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small,
and shalt make the hills as chaff. Thou shalt fan them,
and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind
shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord,
and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
The Wikipedia page for the "War Scroll" War of the Sons
of Light Against the Sons of Darkness states,
"These scrolls contain an apocalyptic prophecy of a war
between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness.
The war is described in two distinct parts, first (the
War against the Kittim) described as a battle between
the Sons of Light, consisting of the sons of Levi, the
sons of Judah, and the sons of Benjamin, and the exiled
of the desert, against Edom, Moab, the sons of Ammon,
the Amalekites, and Philistia and their allies the Kittim
of Asshur (referred to collectively as the army of
Belial), and [those who assist them from among the
wicked] who 'violate the covenant'. The second part of
the war (the War of Divisions) is described as the Sons
of Light, now the united twelve tribes of Israel,
conquering the 'nations of vanity.' In the end, all
of Darkness is to be destroyed and Light will live
in peace for all eternity. The text goes on to detail
inscriptions for trumpets and banners for the war and
liturgies for the priests during the conflict." 128
Luke 3:22,
"And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a

"And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit
descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon
him."
The Zohar takes note of the fact that Hebrew word for
"you shall return" in Leviticus 25:10 is lacking a letter Vav,
which is also the number 6 in Hebrew, much like the Latin
letter X is also the Roman numeral 10. The Zohar called
attention to the fact that this portended something
important. The Cabalists took it to mean that Jewry would
return to Palestine in the Hebrew year 5708 (1948 AD)
because in Gematria the remaining letter/numbers in the
word for "you shall return" add up to 708. Since the Jews
had to return to Palestine in the sixth millennium of their
calendar the 708 signified that they would return in the
year 5708. In addition to that, the Cabalists believed they
would return minus the Vav six, as in six million.
Rabbi Benjamin Blech wrote in his book The Secrets of
Hebrew Words,
"These are the words chosen to be inscribed on the
Liberty Bell. It is in the Jubilee year that 'ye shall
return every man unto his possession and ye shall
return every man unto his family.'
The Hebrew word for 'ye shall return,' (TaShuVU),
seems to be spelled incorrectly. Grammatically it
requires another (vav). It ought to read (TaShUVU).
Why is it lacking the letter (vav), which stands for 6?
(TaShuVU) (without the 'vav') is a prediction to the
Jewish people of ultimate return to their national
homeland. (TaShuVU) in numbers adds up to 708: (tav)
= 400, (shin) = 300, (vet) = 2, (vav) = 6). When we
write the year, we ignore the millennia. In 1948 on the
secular calendar, we witnessed the miracle of Jewish
return to Israel. On the Hebrew calendar it was the
year 5708. That was the year predicted by the
incomplete word (TaShuVU), you shall return. We did
return, lacking 6—an all-important 6 million of our
people who perished during the Holocaust.
Yet the fulfillment of the prediction of return in
precisely that year implied by the gematria of
(TaShuVU) gives us firm hope that the words of the
Prophets for Final Redemption will come true as well."

8 Gnosticism and
Orthodox Christianity
At the beginning of the Age of Pisces Christianity was
Gnostic in form and belief. The Gospels had not yet been
written and it would be centuries before Orthodox
Christianity emerged and declared that many of the
founding beliefs of the faith were heresies. Christianity is
now returning to its original Gnostic state, as was always
intended. Abortions and childless unions are now
commonplace as they were among the Gnostics.
Homosexuality (brotherly love) is embrace by the Church
now as it was in the beginning. The Judaists believe that the
end of an Age should mirror the beginning. The Gnostics
were abortionists, feminists and androgynists, and it is not a
coincidence that Christian Churches today now embrace
abortion, homosexuality and androgyny.
The Gospel of Thomas verses 22 and 106 state,
"(22) Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his
disciples, 'These infants being suckled are like those
who enter the kingdom.'
They said to him, 'Shall we then, as children, enter the
kingdom?'
Jesus said to them, 'When you make the two one, and
when you make the inside like the outside and the
outside like the inside, and the above like the below,
and when you make the male and the female one and
the same, so that the male not be male nor the female;
and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a
hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot,
and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter
the kingdom.'
[***]
(106) Jesus said, 'When you make the two one, you will
become the sons of man, and when you say, 'Mountain,
move away,' it will move away." 150
Pope John XXIII stated that all Gentiles bear the Mark of
Cain,
"The mark of Cain is stamped upon our foreheads.
Across the centuries, our brother Abel was lain in
blood which we drew, and shed tears we caused by
forgetting Thy love. Forgive us, Lord, for the curse we
falsely attributed to their name as Jews. Forgive us for
crucifying Thee a second time in their flesh. For we
knew not what we did." 153
Luke 23:45-47,
"And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple
was rent in the midst. And when Jesus had cried with a
loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend
my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."
Ezekiel 22:26,
"Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned
mine holy things: they have put no difference between
the holy and profane, neither have they shewed
difference between the unclean and the clean, and
have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am
profaned among them."
Just as Jesus was made a human sacrificial offering to
commence the Age of Pisces, so too will the Messiah Son of
David sacrifice and ritually slaughter all Gentiles to usher in
the Age of Aquarius and the World to Come and thereby
obtain full and permanent Atonement and Redemption of
the Jewish People through the blood offering of all Gentiles.
This will likewise tear the Veil between the Earth and
Heaven and the cleansed World will rise to Heaven.
There was an earthquake when Jesus died and the
graves were opened (Matthew 27:51-52) which refers to
the prophecy of the Dry Bones in Ezekiel 37, and to the
changing of the Age from Aries to Pisces. Beheading is the
ultimate form of Kosher slaughter as it completely severs
the neck. Christians crossed the Veil and so must be put to
Death by means of decapitation. Numbers 18:7,
"Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your
priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within
the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's
office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger
that cometh nigh shall be put to death."
"BARBELO CONCEIVES
The father gazed into Barbelo, with the pure light
surrounding the invisible spirit, and its radiance.
Barbelo conceived from it, and it produced a spark of
light similar to the blessed light but not as great. This
was the only child of the mother-father that had come
forth, its only offspring, the only child of the father, the
pure light. The invisible virgin spirit rejoiced over the
light that was produced, that came forth first from the
first power of the spirit's forethought, who is Barbelo.
The spirit anointed it with its own goodness until it was
perfect, with no lack of goodness, since it was anointed
with the goodness of the invisible spirit. The child stood
in the presence of the spirit as the spirit anointed the
child. When the child received this from the spirit, at
once it glorified the holy spirit and perfect forethought.
Because of her it had come forth.
The child asked to be given mind as a companion to
work with, and the spirit consented. When the invisible
spirit consented, mind appeared and stood by the
anointed, and glorified the spirit and Barbelo.
All these beings came into existence in silence.
Mind [Nous] wished to create something by means of
the word [Logos] of the invisible spirit [Pneuma]. Its
will became a reality and appeared, with mind and the
light, glorifying it. Word followed will. For the anointed
[Christ], the self-conceived [Autogenes] god, created
everything by the word. Life eternal, will, mind, and
foreknowledge stood together and glorified the
invisible spirit and Barbelo, for because of her they had
come into being.
The holy spirit brought the self-conceived divine child
of itself and Barbelo to perfection, so that the child
might stand before the great, invisible virgin spirit as
the self-conceived god, the anointed, who honored the
spirit with loud acclaim. The child came forth through
forethought. The invisible virgin spirit set the true, self-
conceived god over everything, and caused all
authority and the truth within to be subject to it, so
that the child might understand everything, the one
called by a name greater than every name, for that
name will be told to those who are worthy of it." 154
Matthew 24:3,
"As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the
disciples came to him privately. 'Tell us,' they said,
'when will this happen, and what will be the sign of
your coming and of the end of the age?'"—NIV
Matthew 28:20,
"and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to
the very end of the age.'"—NIV
Luke 21:24,
"They will fall by the sword and will be taken as
prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled
on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are
fulfilled."—NIV
Ephesians 1:21
"far above all rule and authority, power and dominion,
and every name that is invoked, not only in the present
age but also in the one to come."—NIV
Hebrews 6:4-6,
"It is impossible for those who have once been
enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who
have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the
goodness of the word of God and the powers of the
coming age and who have fallen [Footnote:—Or age, if
they fall] away, to be brought back to repentance. To
their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over
again and subjecting him to public disgrace."—NIV
Revelation 15:3,
"and sang the song of God's servant Moses and of the
Lamb:
Great and marvelous are your deeds,
Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
King of the nations.[Footnote:—Some
manuscripts ages]"—NIV
Matthew 20:28 claims that Jesus gave away his life to
pay a ransom,
"Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered
unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for
many."
Revelation 5:9,
"And they sang a new song, saying:
'You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and
nation."—NIV
This suggestion turns upon the idea that the devil had
the right and the power, assigned to him by God, or at least
not restricted by God, of punishing man with death when
once man had by sin laid himself open to that punishment.
It became a regular part of the stock-in-trade of later
writers. Leo the Great, for example, refers to it more than
once,3 [Ep. 104-7; Serm. xxii. 4.] and Anselm considered it of
sufficient importance to criticise it in his Cur Deus Homo?,4
[Cur Deus Homo? i. 7.] a fact which suggests that it was well
known.5 [It appears also in Peter Lombard, Sent. iii. 19.]
This emphasis upon the rights of the devil led to a
considerable modification of the theory in the legally
minded Latin writers, profoundly influenced as they were
by the majestic system of Roman Law, the very embodiment
of the great ideal of justice. We see in Augustine the
attempt to carry through the idea of justice more
thoroughly and consistently than the Greek fathers had
done. It was absolutely just that man should be in the devil's
power, yet the treatment of the devil was also just. And the
latter justice is in some sense regarded as superior to the
former.
By the justice of God in some sense the human race was delivered into
the power of the devil. . . . But the way in which man was thus delivered
into the power of the devil ought not to be so understood as if God did
this, or commanded it to be done; but that He only permitted it, yet that
justly.1 [Quadam justitia Dei in potestatem diaboli traditum est genus
humanum. . . . Modus autem iste quo traditus est homo in diaboli
potestatem non ita debet intelligi tanquam hoc Deus fecerit aut fieri
jusserit, sed quod tantum permiserit, juste tamen (De Trin. xiii. 12).]
Similar ideas occur in the later Latin fathers.3 [E.g. Gregory the
Great, Moral. xx. 36.]
With one noteworthy exception the question of the
extent of the Atonement does not come much under
discussion in this period. The theory of universal restoration
preached by Origen was rejected as a heresy, though
Gregory of Nyssa does not seem to have been attacked for
hinting that the devil might ultimately be saved and all
creation restored to harmony.4 [See above, p. 40, and Or. Cat. 25.]
The one great attempt to limit the scope of the Atonement
was that of Augustine, whose general theory of sin and of
predestination led him to assert that though all were in
need of redemption the Atonement only availed for the
elect. In this he was not followed by the later Latin fathers.
Leo the Great says that the Atonement was a price
sufficient to pay for a universe of captives,5 [Ep. 134. 14.]
while Gregory the Great extends its efficacy even to
heavenly beings.6 [Moral. xxxi. 49.]
The view of the early Church Fathers that Satan should
be given his due matches the cabalistic understanding of
Jewish ritual of Yom Kippur; which holds that the Evil Other
Side must be given its portion, so that it does not interfere
with the sin offerings and prayers of the Jews to God. It also
conforms to the Jewish doctrines of that era which stated
that God created Satan as accuser, prosecutor and
punisher and Evil as a means to provide justice to the Jews
and to ensure that they remain God-fearing. Gregory of
Nyssa's belief that Satan might be Rectified in the End and
harmony restored to creation was adopted by the Cabalists,
though they did not believe that Gentiles, Satan's children,
would be saved. Lucifer was a Fallen Angel and therefore
contained Light that could be Rectified in the End.
While claiming that it was necessary for God to be just
to Satan, the Church Fathers who adopted the Ransom
Theory of Atonement failed to adequately explain the
injustice done to Jesus for their sake or how they merited a
debt to Satan for Adam's sin, or how they were themselves
in way guilty for Adam's original sin.
Rufinus said regarding the Ransom Theory of
Atonement,
"The Cross of Christ, then, brought those who had
wrongfully abused the authority which they had
received into subjection to those who had before been
in subjection to them. But to us, that is mankind, it
teaches first of all to resist sin even unto death, and
willingly to die for the sake of religion."
Paul pointed out that Jesus was cursed by the Law and
so was hung from a tree. Galatians 3:13,
"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law,
being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is
every one that hangeth on a tree:"
Genesis 25:26,
"And after that came his brother out, and his hand took
hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob:
and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare
them."
Isaiah 34:6,
"The sword of the Lord is bathed in blood,
it is covered with fat—
the blood of lambs and goats,
fat from the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah
and a great slaughter in the land of Edom."—NIV
Zechariah 14:12,
"And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will
smite all the people that have fought against
Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they
stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume
away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume
away in their mouth."
The First World War was a massive victory for the forces
of Zionism and Marxism. It toppled the Monarchs and
shattered the Empires. Russia fell to the Bolsheviks. Lord
Rothschild obtained the Balfour Declaration and the
Ottoman Empire lost Palestine. The Second World War
ended in 1945 when the United States of America dropped
two atomic bombs on Japan. China and Eastern Europe
were lost to Communism. Soon thereafter, in 1948, the
State of Israel was founded. For hundreds, if not thousands
of years, Cabalists had predicted that the Nation of Israel
would be established in 1948.
The Cabalists have not yet instigated a Third and final
World War, which will they believe will be the last battle of
Gog and Magog; but they have prepared the necessary
conditions for this war. The Jewish sages of old anticipated
that there would be three phases to the wars of Gog and
Magog, World Wars I, II & III.
In preparation for the third and final war of Gog and
Magog, Jewish Communists armed the United states and
Russia with nuclear weapons capable of exterminating all of
humanity. Jewish Communists created "MAD", the system of
Mutually Assured Destruction which makes an Apocalyptic
nuclear war between America and Russia not only possible,
but inevitable given that the Cabalists control the
governments of both nations and perpetually pit them
against one another. If they were ever to unite, they could
rule the World.
In the 1930's, the Austrian-Jewess Lise Meitner began
her research into the development of atomic bombs to be
used against the Germans. Leo Szillard was a Hungarian-
Jew and a Communist who supported Bela Kun and the
Hungarian Red Terror. Together with the Hungarian-Jew
Eugene Wigner and the Hungarian-Jew Edward Teller,
Szillard produced a letter which the German-Jew,
Communist and Zionist Albert Einstein signed and sent to
President Roosevelt urging him to instigate what was to
become the Manhattan Project to develop atomic bombs
which were to be used against Germany. The American-Jew
and Communist J. Robert Oppenheimer successfully led the
Manhattan Project. Edward Teller later designed the
Hydrogen bomb.
A long list of Jewish Communists betrayed America and
gave America's atomic bomb secrets and other vital
intelligence to the Soviets. This group included Julius and
Ethel Rosenberg, David and Ruth Greenglass, Joel Barr,
Harry Gold, Klaus Fuchs, Max Eiltcher, Abraham Brothman,
Morris and Lorna Cohen, Saville Sax, Theodore Hall,
William Perl, Al Sarant, Sidney Weinbaum, Morton Sobell,
Miriam Moskwitz, David Lilienthal, Andrew Roth, Frank
Oppenheimer, Stjepan Mesaros (a.k.a. Steve Nelson),
Elizabeth Zarubina (a.k.a. Lisa Rosenzweig), "Scientist X"
Joseph W. Weinberg, Theodore Alvin Holtzberg (a.k.a.
Theodore Hall), etc. The Soviet Union was created by the
Jews Karl Marx, Jacob Schiff and Leon Trotsky, among
countless other Jews.
A large group of American Jews again betrayed the
United States of America and helped Israel to develop
nuclear bombs in violation of international law. Israel then
threatened the world with its Samson Option and pledged
to exterminate all of humanity if the State of Israel should
ever fail.
The American Middle Eastern wars, which were
instigated by Neo-Conservative Trotskyite Jews, were first
planned out in the Old Testament. They were designed to be
self-destructive wars for the United States, which would
consume America in the process of destroying Muslim
nations. This was all done for the benefit of Israel and the
Communist nations of Red China, Russia and North Korea.
Judaists believe that America and the West are Edom, and
that Americans and Europeans are the descendants of Esau
and must be annihilated before the World to Come arrives.
The Israelis had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks on
America and they acknowledged the fact that those attacks
benefitted them.
The Cabalists consider all Europeans to be reincarnated
descendants of the Romans who sacked Jerusalem and
destroyed the Temple. They will show no mercy to any
European, because they believe that even if a given person
of European ancestry loves and worships the Jews and
Israel, he or she is the reincarnation of an anti-Semite and
so must be given the ultimate punishment, final death and
Nullification. Nullification of the Souls of Gentiles can only
be attained by the complete eradication of every single
Gentile, which will eliminate the possibility that any Gentile
Soul can be reincarnated. It will also render it impossible
for a Gentile to introduce the impurity of his or her DNA
into the Jewish gene pool.
The Old Testament contains many passages describing
something like a nuclear war. These plans are set forth in
Isaiah 41:15-29, Zechariah 14, Daniel 7-12, and Ezekiel 37-
40, among other places. Numerous Christian Zionists have
predicted that a nuclear war with Russia will be part of the
Battle of Armageddon and wars of Gog and Magog, despite
the fact that Christians have traditionally considered the
war of Gog and Magog to be post-Millennial based on
Revelation 20:6-8,
"Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on such the second death hath no power,
but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall
reign with him a thousand years. And when the
thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out
of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations
which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and
Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number
of whom is as the sand of the sea."
