n ancient egyptian text, these pillars are portrayed as sacred columns through which is created a gateway that the candidate walks through only after he has completed his negative confession. incidently, the negative confession is the oldest prayer known to man. the black cubical bases on the pillars represent darkness and matter, or manifestation. it is in matter and manifestation that the ruach elohim began to formulate the ineffable name. it is this name that, according to the ancient rabbis "rushes through the universe" a lotus flower is painted on the base of both pillars. it is a white flower on the black pillar and a black on the white. as a matter of fact, all of the paintings are in the opposite color, so the white painted symbols would be on the black, black symbols would be on t

n, it would have hit the airwaves within minutes. so what did it say? i am convinced that the old testament 'god' known as yhwh (yahweh) is also based on an extraterrestrial, or more likely, a series of them. interestingly, while the jewish religion is perceived as a 'one god' faith, the original hebrew texts do not support this. while the english translation refers to a 'god, the hebrew talks of elohim, the plural meaning 'gods. similarly, while we read the word 'lord' in the english, the hebrew refers to adonai, the plural 'lords. jehovah, who is often interchanged with yahweh, would seem to have a different origin. another extraterrestrial, most probably. if you read the old testament and other ancient texts and replace every reference to 'god' or 'the gods' with 'extraterrestrial, the

tive extraterrestrial race who became incarnate to help humanity get out of prison? it is certainly a possibility. the native american tribe, the iroquois, have a legend of an iroquois maiden marrying the chief of the sky people. the geologist, christian o'brien, suggested that hebrew and sumerian texts refer to a race of beings known as the 'shining ones, a term he connects with the hebrew word, elohim. it is no coincidence that the devas from the sanskrit and the angels of christianity are also 'shining ones. the incas of peru referred to 'shining ones' too. o'brien says that it was the beings known as the elohim which created modern humanity from early human forms through genetic manipulation. he adds that some of them, the 'watchers' in the book of enoch, mated with humans and he belie

eate a new race of earth people- the white race we see today. this was symbolised by the story of adam and eve and forbidding them to eat from the tree of knowledge was symbolic of the plan to keep the earth races ignorant of who they really were. in effect, a slave race was created and this has continued to the present day. the contactees said that it was the melchedekans who became known as the elohim in the biblical texts. i think this fourth dimensional force is known by many names. the original earth people were the black, red, and other native peoples of the world in africa, the americas, asia and australia- not the white race, the contactees were told. there were two streams of melchedekan 'invaders. those who only interbred with each other, thus keeping the blond haired, blue eyed

ection with the stories of the melchedekans, i was interested to come across an organisation called the raelian foundation. it is based in 216 .and the truth shall set you free geneva, switzerland, with branches around the world. this is the creation of a former french motor racing journalist called claude vorilhon rael (rail) who claims to have met an extraterrestrial group which he says are the elohim of the old testament. rael says he was taken to their planet and he was told that the elohim genetically engineered the human race. according to the stories told in the secret 1960s survey of contactees, the ones known as elohim were the melchedekans. rael claims to be the "messiah" of the elohim, the "guide of guides, and they instructed him, he says, to tell people that they must do every

atively-inspired ets from the fourth dimension have sought to control this planet throughout known history by actual appearances and (mostly) by controlling the consciousness of those humans operating within a negative frequency range; that those who have conspired to install the new world order since ancient times have been puppets of these beings (quite possibly, in part, the "melchedekans" or "elohim) and the same applies to the global elite of today. i feel that contact has probably taken place between the elite and certain negative et races, and the most unspeakable genetic experiments are being carried out in the underground bases around the world, especially in the united states, on those who are written off as 'missing persons. the nazi mentality is alive and well and controlling a

er the man who has come to teach us and lead us into this utopia needs to do some urgent research into the new world order or he has other reasons for equating the need for love and oneness with a centralised global tyranny. the raelian foundation i spoke of earlier is also promoting all the elite's ambitions because of what their 'messiah, claude rael, claims he was told by the extraterrestrial "elohim. when i attended a new age type exhibition in the north of england, it was fascinating to see how many organisations i came across either supporting the united nations and the concepts of world government and/or offering people another excuse to give their minds away to some "supreme master" or other. don't be thought-controlled by a religion- be thought controlled by a guru cult or con 389

threefold division of the sephiroth which is very important in qabalistic symbolism. in this system kether is given the title of arik anpin, the vast countenance. this is manifested as abba, the supernal father, chokmah, and ama, the supernal mother, binab, these being the positive and negative aspects of the three in one. these two differentiated aspects, when united, are, according to mathers, elohim, that curious divine name which is a feminine noun with a masculine plural attached to it. this union takes place in daath, the invisible sephirab. mystical qabala page 41 11. the next six sephiroth are conformed into zaur anpin, the lesser countenance, or microprosopos, whose special sephirah is tiphareth. the remaining sephirab, malkuth, is called the bride of microprosopos. 22. micropros

from god's spiritual voice (the totality of the 22 letters) or words- hlet there be light h. the graspable beginning is light; all before it or, so to say, behind or beyond it, is impenetrable mystery- an absolute darkness to the mind. from the ain soph aur emanates ehyeh (hyha, the hi h or gi am h- abstract thought; then yhvh (hvhy, git who was, and is, and will be h- thought in time; and lastly elohim (myhla),god in nature and god in the bible, in which yhvh (jehovah or yahweh) is translated as glord h, the equivalent of secret wisdom of the qabalah page 23 the hebrew adonai, for the true name of tetragrammaton (yhvh) may not be pronounced. thus, as the ayin, ain soph, and ain sopb aur form a group of three unthinkable principles, so do ehyeh, yhvh, and elohim form a group of three intel

creation took place as follows: when the most mysterious wished to reveal himself, he first produced a single point which was transmuted into a thought, and in this he executed innumerahle designs, and engraved innumerable gravings. he further graved within the sacred and mystic lamp a mystic and most holy design, which was a wonderous edifice issuing from the midst of thought. 4 this edifice is elohim, the conjunction of the gwho h and the gthese h, as already explained. again we read: before god created the world, his name was enclosed within him, and therefore he and his name enclosed within him were not one. nor could this unity be effected until he created the world. having, therefore, decided to do so, he traced and built, but the aim was not attained until he enfolded himself in a

trine of the siphrah d'tzinoothah and the sepher ye'tzeer-ah. at the very beginning of the life germ, dissolution and death oppose its vitality and endeavour to destroy it, and the whole existence of man in this world is a continual struggle to secret wisdom of the qabalah page 37 preserve his vitality. isaiah says, in his magnificent language: gi am yhvh, and there is none else, there is not any elohim besides me. i girded thee, though thou hast not known me; that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. i am yhvh, and there is none else. i from light create darkness; i make safety and i create misfortune; i yhvh do all these things. h 1 isaiah's words are pure qabalah; for instance in the zohar we read: gobserve h, he said, gthat the holy

re world, the entire universe, it is the same, but with this difference: it expresses the totality of the thoughts of the divine thinker. thought, we have seen, gave it form; therefore the universe is god in form and in activity. gall that has been created, h says the zohar, gfrom the holy beasts [the kerubim] in the highest firmament, down to the tiniest worm that crawls upon the earth, lives in elohim and through elohim. h 1 that is to say, everything which is, has been, or will be is formed by the divine thought; therefore the universe is the symbol of the divine thinker. what is it formed of? what is the material? the void and the formless, the negative and the positive of vhb, bohu (bhv, and vhu, tohu (thhv, which find their harmony in the darkness. and be it noted that beth, the firs

nd a vau, a feminine and a masculine quantity, and that the numerical values of these four letters is 22- the number of letters in the hebrew alphabet; consequently, potentially, the names of all things (forms) are included in them. these two find their equilibrium in darkness or the black fire. tohu [we are told] is under the aegis of shaddai; bohu, under that of zebaoth; darkness, under that of elohim; spirit, under that of yhvh. gthere was a strong wind breaking the mountains, but the lord was not in the wind h, because this name was not in it, since shaddai presides over it through the mystic nature of tohu. gafter the wind there was a quaking, but the lord was not in the quaking h, since over it presides the name of zebaoth, through the mystic nature of bohu (which is called quaking [

GAMBLE ELIZA BURT THE GOD IDEA OF THE ANCIENTS OR SEX IN RELIGION

e "oldest" is implored "not only to drive away darkness and enemies that lurk in the dark, but likewise to deliver man from any sin which he may have committed "may aditi by day protect our cattle, may she, who never deceives, protect us from evil" in the egyptian as in the indian and hebrew religions, the two generating principles throughout nature represent the infinite, the holy of holies, the elohim or aleim--the ieue. within the records of the earliest religions of ethiopia or arabia, chaldea, assyria, and babylonia, is revealed the same monad principle in the deity. this monad conception, or dual unity, this god of light and life, or of wisdom and generative force, is the same source whence all mythologies have sprung, and, as has been stated, among all peoples the fact is observed t

eneration as was the sacred ieue of the jews. in later ages, the fact is being proved that this god, into whom all the deities worshipped at a certain period in human history resolve themselves, is the sun, or if not the actual corporeal sun, then the supreme agency within it which was acknowledged as the great creative or life-force- that dual principle which by the early races was recognized as elohim, om, ormuzd, etc, and from which the productive power in human beings, in plants, and in animals was thought to emanate. prior to the development of either tree or phallic worship, the sun as an emblem of the deity had doubtless become the principal object of veneration. ages would probably elapse before primitive man would observe that all life is dependent on the warmth of the sun's rays

compounded from some word which originally meant the sun. max muller says that surya was the sun as shining in the sky. savitri was the sun as bringing light and life. vishnu was the sun as striding with three steps across the sky, etc. inman, whose etymological researches have given him considerable prominence as a sanskrit and hebrew scholar, says that ra, ilos, helos, bil, baal, al, allah, and elohim were names given to the sun as representative of the creator. we are assured by godfrey higgins that brahme is the sun the same as surya. brahma sprang from the navel of brahme. faber in his pagan idolatry says that all the gods of the ancients "melt insensibly into one, they are all equally the sun" the word apollo signifies the author or generator of light. in the rig veda, surya, the sun

resents pure reason or intelligence; then follows zeus, demarius, and adorus. without doubt this triad represents a monad deity similar in character to the one observed in egypt and other countries. in the minds of all well-informed persons, there is no longer any doubt that in abraham's time the canaanites worshipped the same gods as did the persians and all the other nations about them- namely, elohim, the dual or triune creative force in nature. as the sun was the source whence proceeded all light and life as well as reproductive or generative power, it had become the object of adoration, and as the emblem of the deity, it was worshipped by all the nations of the earth in its three capacities as creator, preserver, and destroyer or regenerator each female and male. melchizedek, who was

must have composed the original story, and that the other passages were afterwards inserted by another writer, who wished to enlarge or supplement the primary record. and he seems to have used the compound jehovah aleim in the first portion of his work in order to impress upon the reader that jehovah, of whom he goes on to speak in the later portions, is the same great being who is called simply elohim by the older writer, and notably in the first account of the creation"[40 [40] lectures on the pentateuch and the moabite stone, p. 7. we are informed by bunsen that el, or elohim, comprehends the true significance of the deity among all the aramaic or canaanitish races, el representing the abstract principle taken collectively, elohim pertaining to the separate elements as creator, preserv

eator, preserver, and regenerator. each of these canaanitish races had inherited these ideas from their fathers, and, although they had become grossly idolatrous "moses knew, and educated israelites remained a long time conscious, that they used them not merely in their real but in their most ancient sense"[41] maurice and other writers call attention to the fact that moses himself uses this word elohim with verbs and adjectives in the plural. that the god worshipped by the more ancient peoples, namely aleim, or elohim, the same who said "let us make man in our image" was not the lord adored at a later age by the jews, is a fact which at the present time seems to be clearly proven; that it constituted, however, the dual or triune unity venerated by all the nations on the globe of which we

ly as the god himself, and among many peoples even more revered and worshipped. we have seen that the ancients knew that matter and force were alike indestructible. according to their doctrine all nature proceeded from the sun. hence the power back of the sun, which they worshipped as the destroyer or regenerator, or, in other words, as the mother of the sun, was the great aum or om, the aleim or elohim, who was the indivisible god. the creative agency which proceeded from the sun was both male and female, yet one in essence. later, the male appeared as spirit, the female as matter. spirit was something above and independent of nature. it had indeed created matter from nothing. the fact will be remembered that man claimed supremacy over woman on the ground that the male is spirit, while th

ply for his use; she is taken from his side and is wholly dependent upon him for existence. this fact is recognized by bishop colenso in the following words "thus in the second account of creation, the man is apparently created first, and the woman is certainly created the last, of all living creatures; whereas, in the older story the man and woman are created last of all, as the crowning work of elohim, and are created together-'and elohim created man in his own image, in the image of elohim created he him; male and female created he them' this ancient elohistic narrative, then, the jehovist had before him; and he enlarged and enlivened it by introducing a number of passages recording additional incidents in the lives of the patriarchs before and after the flood, and especially by inserti

n:thekabalah83and being hebrews, who no doubt were prominent in the study and the practice of the exoteric law of moses, they claimed for it as distant an origin as they allowed to man himself. they asserted its origin to be from adam himself, the first human being of their cosmogony, and they asserted that he was instructed by angels sent by the deity, whom they exoterically described as jehovah elohim, he who they saidputthe soul into man, and made him a living and thinking being..here then we have a parallel. the secret doctrine suggests that the earliest thinking men were taught by solar spirits of sublime order, the rabbis said d.at their kabalah, their esoteric doctrine- in contrast to their pentateuch, their exoteric religion- was given to their earliest man by angelic beings coming

now in the book of genesis, chapter i. and verse26,we may find just this sort of allusion, with what is conceived to be some mistranslation. this is from the so-called elohistic version of the creation narrated in the first chapter and concluding at the end of verse 3 of chapterii.we find 'and god said let us make man in our image, after our likeness' here the word god is translated from the word elohim,alhim,which is a curiously compounded word- plural- and yet containing both male and female suggestions: for al is god, singular and male, eloah,alhis god, single and female, and 1m is a common masculine plural form.thewordimagehere is tzelem, and likeness is demooth,dmut,a word often used with tzelem. in the english version note that the singular word 'god' is used,butthe plural pronoun 'o

muth, death; in the latin vulgate -umbra mortis,ingreek255skia thanatou.this is a curious coincidence if there be no hebrew recognition of the astral, because the astral, like the physical body, is subject to similar change at death. consider next the formation of eve, the first female, in genesisii.21-23:here we have the so-called jehovisticnarrative, in which the hebrew divine names are jehovah elohim,ihvhalhim,and these are rendered into the english words'lordgod 'and he took one of his [adam's] ribs 'and of the ribanomalies inthebiblical views of man 143which the lord god had taken from adam, made he a woman. now this wordribsuggests the ideaside;the hebrew word istzlo,tzaddi, lamed, and ayin, which has a suspicious resemblance to the wordtzlm,a shadow form. consider next that eastern

owledge. this confusion is fatal to any clear conception of meaning. we must so often be in doubt whether in any case ruach is to mean the respiratory air, or the divine influx. compare daniel vii. 2 'thewindsof heaven. daniel iv. 8 'thespiritof the holy gods. daniel vii. 15 'my [human]spiritwas grieved. hosea ix. 7 'the man that hath thespiritis mad. while in1.samuel xvi. 23, we have first ruach elohim, translated 'evilspiritfrom god was upon saul, and later in the verse 've ruach le shaul' becomes 'saul wasrefreshed'.in esther iv. 14, ruach becomes'enlargement'.in chapter iii. of ecclesiastes there are notable uses of the word ruach as a human principle: in verse 19, speaking of man and beast, are the words 'they have all onebreath'-ruach255and in verse 21, who knoweth thespiritof man th

ine imagery is debased. while certainly images, legends, myths and godnames have their place, their value is in what they represent rather than in themselves. in regards to the name(s) of god in the old testament there is a real quandary, there are many names for god, though translated under the one title in english. what makes it more difficult is that each name has a different meaning, the name elohim, for example, means mighty ones (note it is plural) and can be applied to any form of demi-god, destructive or constructive, of the light or of darkness. the same applies to the formula of yhvh, while it has a esoteric meaning, it too, has been twisted to reflect the barbaric and violent storm god that is falsely represented throughout the old testament as the creator. for gnostics there ar

LEWIS JAMES SATANISM TODAY AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION FOLKLORE AND POPULAR CULTURE

o ufo literature is in ufo religions. an interesting case study is the raelian movement, founded in france in 1973 by claude vorilhon, better known as rael. like the classic ufo contactees, rael claimed to have encountered humanoid space aliens. these beings explained to rael that the human race had been created with sophisticated genetic engineering techniques by extraterrestrial scientists (the elohim, meaning, literally, those who came from the sky) in their laboratories. the elohim further explained that rael himself was the offspring of a mortal woman and an alien named yahweh. the raelian movement perceives itself as a scientific religion, founded to spread the truths revealed to rael. one of the major goals of the movement is to build an extraterrestrial embassy in israel in order t

g, literally, those who came from the sky) in their laboratories. the elohim further explained that rael himself was the offspring of a mortal woman and an alien named yahweh. the raelian movement perceives itself as a scientific religion, founded to spread the truths revealed to rael. one of the major goals of the movement is to build an extraterrestrial embassy in israel in order to receive the elohim when they land in 2035. rael denies the existence of a spiritual realm, including the existence of the soul and of any immaterial god or devil. members of the movement may, however, look forward to immortality in the form of cloning by alien scientists. according to the elohim, the world s religions were founded as a result of their direct communication with a series of human prophets, for

umanity would, in a later, scientific age (i.e, the current age, be able to look back over traditional scriptures and perceive what had really happened. rael, the last of the forty prophets, is the bearer of this message. rael claims that many of the figures in traditional religious mythologies are actually space aliens. satan, it seems, is the head of a party of opinion on the home planet of the elohim opposed to genetic experiments who believe that humanity poses a potential threat and should be destroyed.according to rael, in let s welcome our fathers from space, satan thought that one could not expect anything good from these scientifically- created creatures, and that out of man only evil could come. satan was like the head of a political party on the planet of the elohim, which was o

a potential threat and should be destroyed.according to rael, in let s welcome our fathers from space, satan thought that one could not expect anything good from these scientifically- created creatures, and that out of man only evil could come. satan was like the head of a political party on the planet of the elohim, which was opposed to the creation of any type of beings in their image by other elohim, who thought that they could create beings who would be positive and non-violent (rael 1986, 94 95. certain biblical stories, such as the flood, are explained in terms of the intervention of satan s party: the group who believed that nothing but evil came out of man, presided on by one of the elohim named satan, finally triumphed, and the destruction of all life on earth came about by the f

ain biblical stories, such as the flood, are explained in terms of the intervention of satan s party: the group who believed that nothing but evil came out of man, presided on by one of the elohim named satan, finally triumphed, and the destruction of all life on earth came about by the flood (ibid, 4. according to this narrative, noah s ark was actually a space ship within which another party of elohim preserved humanity. making a positive use of satan s negative attitude toward humanity, satan became responsible for testing the faithfulness of the prophets chosen to relay the message of the elohim: once a person had been contracted by the messengers of the elohim, telling him of his mission, satan, or one of his men, would contact the prophet-to-be and by slander would destroy the elohim

rson had been contracted by the messengers of the elohim, telling him of his mission, satan, or one of his men, would contact the prophet-to-be and by slander would destroy the elohim in his mind (ibid, 98. rael interprets both the story of job and the story of satan tempting jesus in the wilderness as examples of this role. rael was also approached by satan during a visit to the homeworld of the elohim. in exchange for riches and an agreement to preach hatred rather than love, satan promised to take rael and his compatriots on board their spacecraft when planetary-wide conflict breaks out and, after everything is destroyed, bring rael back to rule the earth. rael declined the offer, thereby passing the test that had been orchestrated by yahweh, rael s extraterrestrial father. see also dem

dust or firemist, moving and writhing like a serpent. this, say the explanations, was the spirit of god moving on the chaos until its breath had incubated cosmic matter and made it assume the annular shape of a serpent with its tail in its month--emblem of eternity in its spiritual and of our world in its physical sense" the seven-headed snake represents the supreme deity manifesting through his elohim, or seven spirits, by whose aid he established his universe. the coils of the snake have been used by the pagans to symbolize the motion and also the orbits of the celestial bodies, and it is probable that the symbol of the serpent twisted around the egg--which was common to many of the ancient mystery schools- represented both the apparent motion of the sun around the earth, and the bands

editor s note. within the pentacle are the names of the nine orders of angels, those of six of them in ordinary hebrew characters, and the remainder in the letters which are known as "the passing of the river" these nine orders are: 1, chaiath ha-qadesch, holy living creatures; 2, auphanim, wheels; 3, aralim, thrones; 4, chaschmalim, brilliant ones; 5, seraphim, fiery ones; 6, melakim, kings; 7, elohim, gods; 8, beni elohim, sons of the elohim; 9, kerubim, kerubim. the versicle is from psalm xviii 7 "then the earth shook and trembled, the foundations of the hills also moved and were shaken, because he was wroth" the key of solomon page 64 jupiter. figure 18. the first pentacle of jupiter. this serveth to invoke the spirits of jupiter, and especially those whose names are written around th

adder which reached unto heaven. editor s note. the hebrew letters within the pentacle are taken from the five last words of the versicle which surrounds it, each of which contains five letters. these are, then, recombined so as to form certain mystical names. the versicle is taken from ezekiel i. 1 "as i was among the captives by the river of chebar, the heavens were opened, and i saw visions of elohim" in my opinion the versicle should only consist of the five last words thereof, when the anachronism of jacob using a pentacle with a sentence from ezekiel will not longer exist. figure 23. the sixth pentacle of jupiter. it serveth for protection against all earthly dangers, by regarding it each day devoutedly and repeating the versicle which surroundeth it "thus shalt thou never perish" fi

THE KEY TO THE MYSTERIES

ce; this substance attracts and repels, in coagulates itself and dissolves itself, with a constant harmony; it is double; it is androgynous; it embraces itself, and fertilizes itself, it struggles, triumphs, destroys, renews; but never abandons itself to inertia, because inertia, for it, would be death. it is this original substance to which the hieratic recital of genesis refers when the word of elohim creates light by commanding it to exist. the elohim said "let there be light" and there was light. this light, whose hebrew name is hb:aleph-vau-resh "aour" is the fluidic and living gold of the hermetic philosophy. its positive principle is their sulphur; its negative principle, their mercury; and its equilibrated principles form what they call their salt. one must then, in place of the si

religious reform brought about by moses was altogether qabalistic, that christianity, in instituting a new dogma, has simply come nearer to the primitive sources of the teachings of moses, and that the gospel is no more than a transparent veil thrown upon the universal and natural mysteries of oriental initiation. a distinguished but little known man of learning, mr. p. lacour, in his book on the elohim or mosaic god, has thrown a great light on that question, and has rediscovered in the symbols of egypt all the allegorical figures of genesis. more recently, another courageous student of vast erudition, mr. vincent (de l'yonne, has published a treatise upon idolatry among both the ancients and the moderns, in which he raises the veil of universal mythology. we invite conscientious students

ear contrast holds down the negating power in itself and does not let it come outwardly into effect. 239 significantly, schelling contends that the doctrine of the unity of the divine essence in duality shows itself as profoundly interwoven with what is innermost, even with the language itself, of the old testament. more specifically, the proof is elicited from the repeated use of the plural name elohim with verbs in the singular, and from the conjunction of the two names, yhwh and elohim. schelling relates this archaic pairing to a distinction between the hidden and manifest dimensions of god, an approach that resonates with kabbalists distinction between ein sof and the sefirot.240 yhwh, whose true pronunciation is unknown, consisting as it does of the pure, so-called silent letters (lau

dimensions of god, an approach that resonates with kabbalists distinction between ein sof and the sefirot.240 yhwh, whose true pronunciation is unknown, consisting as it does of the pure, so-called silent letters (lauter sogenannten ruhenden buchstaben; literis quiescentibus, is the name of the essence that 36 chapter one is pure breath, pure spirit, or pure will without actual conation, whereas elohim is the name of the divine effects, the multifaceted manifestation of that essence, spirit, and will.241 the kabbalistic influence on schelling is even more conspicuous in his observation regarding the interchangeability of the angelic figure the angel of the countenance, mal akh ha-panim (der engel des angesichts) or the angel of the lord, mal akh yhwh (der engel jehovahs)242 and the divine

e, for in being one there would be two and consequently one to divide. thus, bere shit is interpreted by the gloss ehad, that is, ehad is apposite to bere shit: bere shit ehad, originarily one. 73 division, on the other hand, is tied exegetically to isaiah 57:16, ki ruah mi-lefanay ya atof u-neshamot ani asiti, for spirit before me is faint, i am the one to create souls, and to psalm 65:10, peleg elohim male mayim, which i will leave untranslated for the moment. the bahiric homily engages the meaning of the 128 chapter three latter verse but is completely silent about the former. the silence notwithstanding, it is appropriate to begin with a brief comment about this verse. a distinct meaning was evidently assumed by the exegete whose words (at least in part and in some form) have been pres

o translate the mythopoeic imagery into neoplatonic terms, we could speak of the creation of souls evincing the movement from the one beyond one to the one that is many, the one that encompasses division issuing from the one that is indivisible.75 this transition marks the beginning and hence it is symbolized by beit, the second that is first.76 further support may be adduced from the verse peleg elohim male mayim. its plain sense is: the channel of god is full of water. the esoteric exegete, however, read (in the double sense of interpreted and vocalized) the word peleg as palag, to divide, thereby changing the syntax of the verse. the proper noun peleg elohim, channel of god, is turned into predicate and subject, palag elohim, god divided. moreover, the expression male mayim is not the p

om. the attribute associated in the previously discussed passage with aseret, the one that complements the seven, is here counted as third, succeeding keter elyon, the supernal crown, and hokhmah, wisdom, the second that is first (re shit. the third saying is described as the quarry of torah (mahsav ha-torah, the treasure of wisdom (osar ha-hokhmah),73 the quarry of the spirit of god (mahsav ruah elohim) in which the forms of the letters of torah were engraved.74 insinuated here is a tradition, expanded in the symbolic gesticulations of later kabbalists, especially in the castilian circle, related (in ways still unclear) to the composition and redaction of zoharic material. i have in mind the portrayal of binah as a womb that receives the seminal fluid of hokhmah, a kabbalistic notion root

to the main path. significantly, the mythic account of creation, ma aseh bere shit, in zohar begins from the end, tau, the seal of emet, truth exposed in its concealment. the zoharic version is framed in terms of r. hamnuna the elder s observation that the order of alef and beit is reversed in the beginning of torah, that is, the first two words, bere shit bara, begin with beit and the next two, elohim et, with alef. taking hold of the inversion of alef and beit at the incision of the inception opens the way to re/covering what has been uncovered. when the holy one, blessed be he, wanted to create the world, all the letters were hidden. for two thousand years prior to the creation of the world, the holy one, blessed be he, was contemplating and bemusing himself with them.20 when he desire

midrash otiyyot de-rabbi aqiva: rabbi said: alef. what is alef? this teaches that the torah said: truth teaches your mouth [emet lammed pikha] so that you will merit life in this world. your mouth teaches truth [pikha lammed emet] so that you will merit life of the world-to-come.23 why is this so? because the holy one, blessed be he, is called truth [emet. as it says, the lord is truly god [yhwh elohim emet (jer 10:10).24 combining these two themes, the author of the zoharic account has tau pleading that it deserves to be the agency of creation since it is the conclusion of emet, which is both the signet of god and one of his epithets. god responds that despite these merits, tau is not worthy enough. two reasons are given, although i think it possible to view them as two versions of one e
