shall look briefly at some general aspects of its theory and practice. at the end, i have included a simple ritual to illustrate some of these points. folk magick and ritual magick whether you are casting a simple spell, using items from your kitchen cupboard, or performing a complicated group ceremony, the source of the power behind it is the same. every spell or ritual involves channelling the life force that runs through all forms of existence and transforming it into higher spiritual energies. these spiritual powers include our own evolved self, which some say is formed through many lifetimes, and the higher divine cosmic energies, such as a supreme god or goddess, or, more abstractly, some sort of divine light, spirit and goodness. magick for healing, it must be said, is not so far r

a focus for meditation. but if you do not find them helpful, there is no need to use them. most rituals are related to the basic human needs for health, love, fertility and prosperity. in chapter 13, seasons and festivals, i describe the major solar, lunar and agricultural festivals that formed a focus for attracting abundance and increase to the land, animals, crops and people, tapping into the life force that connected them all. in past time, the well-being of the planet was considered to be the responsibility of peasant as well as king through paying tributes and enacting age-old ceremonies to invoke the necessary energies for the wheel of the year to turn. so individual prosperity or fertility was attained both through private spells and charms and by sending positive energies to the

be the old rulerships that are used in spells (see planets and angels. colour correspondences colour is of great significance, both in healing and magick, and colour symbolism is used frequently with candles, and also with crystals, flowers, foods and coloured water, as a way of focusing on and activating the different qualities inherent in the colours. white in magic, white represents light, the life force and clear vision and so is helpful where a new beginning or a sudden burst of energy and enthusiasm is needed. white is a good colour for work involving rites of passage, especially for birth, marriage and welcoming new family members by marriage or adoption. use white also for protective magick, for replacing darkness with light, in meditation, for goddessfocused rituals, for increasin

ditation, for goddessfocused rituals, for increasing spiritual awareness and contact with spirit guides, angels and the higher self. white contains both solar and lunar energies and is often used for altar candles. you can substitute white for any other colour. white candles can be used on any day of the week, though they are associated with monday in the goddess aspect and sunday and the sun for life force magick. red red, the colour of mars, the planet and god of war, represents action, power, determination, physical energy and health, courage and determination, sexual passion and potency, survival and change, for careers where danger is involved and the armed forces. it is used as a focus for rituals calling on the power of the gods and for stimulating righteous anger against injustice

y, being the force centres. the centres are formed entirely of streams of force, pouring down from the ego, who transmits it from the monad. in this we have the secret of the gradual vibratory quickening of the centres as the ego first comes into control, or activity, and later (after initiation) the monad, thus bringing about changes and increased vitality within these spheres of fire or of pure life force. the centres, therefore, when functioning properly, form the "body of fire" which eventually is all that is left, first to man in the three worlds, and later to the monad. this body of fire is "the body incorruptible"72(62) or indestructible, spoken of by st. paul, and is the product of evolution, of the perfect blending of the three fires, which ultimately destroy the form. when the fo

came into being. i have somewhat dealt with the question of individualisation elsewhere and seek not here to enlarge upon it. i would only point out a correspondence that holds hid the key to the mystery of individualisation. in this chain, individualisation took place during the third rootrace and in the fourth round, speaking in this connection of a round through a chain of globes, and not the life force of a planetary logos circulating through the seven chains in a scheme. it is of peculiar interest at this time that we are in the fourth round in a chain as well as in the fourth round as regards the scheme of seven chains. it has led to evolutionary possibilities of great import. on the moon chain individualisation took place during the fifth race of the third round, and in the next ch

gulf between the dense physical, and the astral body of the logos. only when this is the case do we understand the function of the lord agni as the vital life of the cosmic etheric, as the vitality of the heavenly men and the activity of their sheaths. b. agni and the mental plane. i seek to deal with a very important point here, emphasising the close connection between agni, the sumtotal of the life force of the logoic threefold personality, as he is seen at work on the mental plane (which closely concerns man, and that manifesting driving force or intelligent will which emanates from the cosmic mental plane. there is a very interesting series of correspondences to be worked out here and we might briefly indicate the lines to be followed in this connection by the ensuing tabulation: the

ane is the focal point of positive force. on that plane are located the etheric centres of man, which have, in the evolutionary process and in the work of force direction, a relationship to his physical body similar to the relationship which groups of egos on the mental plane have to the dense physical body of the logos. this is a profound occult hint. in the words "prana and the etheric body (or life force and form) we have the key to the mystery of the solar and lunar pitris, and a hint as to the place of the physical body in the scheme of things. the solar pitris and devas find their force expression most adequately through man, with all that is included in that term. they are the source of his self-consciousness, and it is their action upon the negative aspect which produces the human

e energy of the pranic devas of the etheric body comes from the physical sun. this energy of the agnishvattas manifests on the mental plane, the gaseous subplane of the cosmic physical just as the energy of the etheric centres on the fourth etheric subplane manifests first and potently on the gaseous matter of the physical body. this is why the sons of wisdom, embodying the buddhic principle, the life force, or love aspect, are nevertheless known on the fifth plane as the self-conscious principles; buddhi uses manas as a vehicle, and occult writers often speak in terms of the vehicle. the ego, or the self-conscious identity is in essence and in truth love-wisdom, but manifests primarily as intelligent consciousness. we should endeavor to study carefully the following statement which is con

g its atomic structure. the energy of the second aspect (that of the form-builder) is withdrawn by the will of the ego, and the atoms composing the form become dissociated from each other, and are resolved into the reservoir of essence to be re-collected again when the hour strikes. this condition is brought about gradually by stages of which we are aware: the first stage is the withdrawal of the life force in the etheric vehicle from the threefold (dense, liquid and gaseous) dense physical body and the consequent "falling into corruption" and becoming "scattered to the elements" objective man fades out, and is no more seen by the physical eye, though still in his etheric body. when etheric vision is developed, the thought of death will assume very different proportions. when a man can be

period of pralaya has been decided upon, this thread of light, or of solar fire (note the word "solar) is withdrawn, and gathered back to the atomic subplane where it will still vitalise the permanent atom and hold it connected within the causal body. the life impulses are then as far as the physical plane is concerned centralised within the atomic sphere. the third stage is the withdrawal of the life force from the astral form so that it disintegrates in a similar manner and the life is centralised within the astral permanent atom. it has gained an increase of vitality through physical plane existence, and added colour through astral experience- 435- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust the final stage for the human atom is its withdrawal from the mental vehicle. the life

s of the excesses indulged in in lemurian times; they are of such ancient origin that the very soil is permeated with the germs of these diseases a fact quite unknown to modern science. down the ages, men have suffered from these groups of infections; they have died and been buried and in their millions have contributed their quota of infection to the earth. in lemurian times, the emphasis of the life force was upon the physical body, upon its development, its use and control, and also upon its perpetuation or reproduction. it was in lemurian times that troubles connected with the misuse of the sex life- 36- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iv: esoteric healing copyright 1998 lucis trust began; this was, in a peculiar sense, the essential primeval evil, and concerning this fact, ancien

orm or another, sometimes recognisable and sometimes not. curiously enough, the cause of this great white scourge is to be found in the fact of the shift of the life emphasis away from the emotional nature into that of the mind nature, producing a temporary starvation of the emotional nature. it is largely a disease of depletion. cancer, in its turn, was based similarly on a previous shift of the life force from the physical body into that of the emotional nature, producing an overdevelopment of the cellular life, through overstimulation. i realise the difficulty of grasping these statements. i can only give you these unsubstantiated hints. later discoveries alone can prove the truth of my suggestions. let us here tabulate our conclusions- 37- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iv: esote

uple of centuries the major cause of difficulty for the bulk of humanity or of those people whom we esoterically call "solar-sacral" people. this is partly due to the age-long habits of suppression and of inhibition which the race, as a whole, has developed. it is this congestion at the point of intake and of outlet in the etheric body which is responsible for the impeding of the free flow of the life force, with the results of a rapid succumbing to diseases. hence, also, you will see how carefully assigned breathing exercises, with their subtle effects of reorganising and readjusting the subtler bodies (particularly the etheric and astral bodies) will become more and more generally used. the widespread interest in breathing today evidences a subjective recognition of this fact, though not

every part of the whole outer man; it is the framework which sustains the whole; it is that upon which the outer form is patterned; and it is the network of nadis (infinitely intricate) which constitutes the counterpart or the duplicate aspect of the entire nervous system which forms such an important part of the human mechanism. it is thus definitely, with the blood stream, the instrument of the life force. if, therefore, there is weakness in the relation between this inner structure and the outer form, it will be immediately apparent to you that real difficulty is bound to supervene. this difficulty will take three forms: 1. the physical form in its dense aspect is too loosely connected with the etheric form or counterpart. this leads to a devitalised and debilitated condition, which pre

fficulty is bound to supervene. this difficulty will take three forms: 1. the physical form in its dense aspect is too loosely connected with the etheric form or counterpart. this leads to a devitalised and debilitated condition, which predisposes man to sickness or ill health. 2. the connection is poor in certain directions or aspects of the equipment. through certain focal points or centres the life force cannot adequately flow, and therefore you have a definite weakness in some part of the physical body. for instance, impotence is such a difficulty and a tendency to laryngitis is another to mention two widely different disorders. 3. the connection can also be so basically loose and poor that the soul has very little hold upon its vehicle for outer manifestation, and obsession or possess

sation of the centres, major and minor. c. the heart, which is the centre of life as the brain is the centre of consciousness. from the heart, the blood circulates and is controlled. thus these three great systems are related. d. the entire glandular system to the nervous system through the medium of the network of nerves and the "nadis" which underlie this network. these nadis are the threads of life force which underlie every part of the body and particularly the nervous system in all its aspects. to these problems and relationships another might be added. this is the interrelation which must be established between all the centres, permitting the free play of force in correct rhythm throughout the physical vehicle- 52- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iv: esoteric healing copyright 1

ility and those inherent organic tendencies which predispose a man to ill health and which permit entrance into the system of those germs and bacteria which produce the outer forms of malignant disease. when humanity regains an understanding of the right use of time (which determines the law of rhythm on the physical plane, and can determine the proper cycles for the various manifestations of the life force upon the physical plane, then what was earlier an instinctual habit will become the intelligent usage of the future. this will constitute an entirely new science, and the rhythm of the natural processes and the establishing, as habits, the correct cycles of physical functioning, will bring about a new era of health and of sound physical conditions for the entire race. i used the word "e

into effective action upon the physical plane. this failure produces not only the cleavage in the personality so well known to the practicing psychologist, but also a cutting off of a much needed stream of energy. as a consequence, the physical body is devitalised and falls heir to bad health. when the thought can be carried through to the physical brain and there becomes a directing agent of the life force, you will usually have a condition of good health, and this has proved true whether the individual thought has been good or bad, rightly motivated or wrongly oriented. it is simply the effect of integration, because saints and sinners, the selfish and the unselfish and all kinds of people, can achieve integration and a thought-directed life. the second question asks whether an individua

ve a repetition or an analogy in the microcosm of logoic manifestation and logoic pralaya. 2. the love aspect shows itself through the heart, the circulatory system and the nervous system. this is in many ways most important for you to understand, for it controls paramountly the etheric body and its assimilation of prana or vitality. this prana works through both the blood and the nerves, for the life force uses the blood stream and psychic force works through the nervous system. these two departments of the human organism are those which cause the greatest amount of trouble at this time and will even more in the future. the race learns through suffering, and only dire need drives man to seek solution and relief. from the present standpoint of healing, man forms again a lesser trinity of i

naticism or the most altruistic devotion. all the rays present the same problems, needless to say, but the second ray deals largely with the soul's activity through all the centres (those above and those below the diaphragm) but with the heart as the prime centre of attention. the sixth ray has a close relation to the solar plexus centre as the clearing house and the place of reorientation of the life force in the personality. bear this constantly in mind. c. the problems connected with the respiratory or breathing system are all related to the heart, and therefore concerned with the establishing of right rhythm and right contact with the environment. the drawing in of the life breath, the sharing of the air with all other human beings, denotes both an individual centre of life and partici

n it the following stanzas, and these can serve as an introduction to those dealing with the seven ray causes of inharmony and disease. to the intuitive aspirant some meaning will emerge, but he must ever bear in mind that all that i am attempting to do is to put into words unsatisfactory and quite inadequate stanzas concerning the conditioning factors in the equipment of those great beings whose life force (which we call energy) creates all that is, colours and shapes all manifestations within the worlds, and adds its quota of force to the equipment of every single human being. every man appropriates this energy to the measure of his need, and his need is the sign of his development. the stanzas i have selected are from the book of imperfections. part fourteen "the seven imperfections iss

o which the allied gland can respond. when the difficulty is in the outlet into the physical body, you will have no free flow of force, the gland related to the centre will be definitely affected, and either be overstimulated by the nonrhythmic flow or undernourished. this in turn affects the glandular secretion and later the blood stream. 2. that congestion which takes place as the energy or the life force flows throughout the physical body, and as it flows finds there certain forms of weakness, various diseased areas and regions where its flow is impeded or too rapidly circulated. the flow of energy can be arrested in certain areas and can nourish also diseased areas in the body, or can also cure and cleanse them. a temporary congestion can be of beneficent value as well as a malefic for

on in an active and wholesome state. this is done, first of all, by enabling him to arrive at a right relation and correct evaluation between the abstract and the concrete realms of thought those higher and lower aspects of the mind which are to the soul what the lower mind and the brain are to the personality. think this out. a true recognition of this distinction produces a new focussing of the life force within the soul which will, in the earlier stages of discipleship, work through the abstract mind and the concrete mind. but the abstractions with which the disciple in training is then dealing are not in the nature of intuitions, and here is a point where confusion oft arises. they are merely the broad, general and universal perceptions and world inclusions which the gradually developi

which it is intended to implement, and the energy then leads to great but fruitless activity. still others are learning to use the centre between the eyebrows, standing as silent and poised recipients controlling the third eye, the directing agent of the received energy. it must be carefully borne in mind that the energy to be used is not the energy which the disciple himself generates or his own life force, but is something different, something which he has received from the hierarchy and of which he is simply the agent or channel. he has therefore to learn to distinguish between the various energies he contacts. the initiate has to master the techniques of differentiating between: 1. his own energy or energies, which have been generated as the result of his life experiences down the ages

ALICE A BAILEY23 THE EXTERNALISATION OF THE HIERARCHY

mlessness that speaks no word that can damage another person, that thinks no thought which could poison or produce misunderstanding, and which does no action which could hurt the least of his brethren this is the main virtue which will enable the esoteric student to tread with safety the difficult path of development. where the emphasis is laid upon service to one's fellowmen and the trend of the life force is outward to the world, then there is freedom from danger and the aspirant can safely meditate and aspire and work. his motive is pure, and he is seeking to decentralise his personality and shift the focus of his attention away from himself to the group. thus the life of the soul can pour through him, and express itself as love to all beings. he knows himself to be a part of a whole an

me primarily a selfish and a fighting animal with, however, at times, vague tendencies towards something dimly sensed as better and with moments of high grade desire which was not aspiration and the urge to progress, as we know it, but their embryonic forms. it is not possible for modern man to vision or understand such a state of consciousness, for he has left it too far behind. the focus of the life force was also in the region of the adrenal glands, producing animal courage and resistance to shock. but the dualism of man's essential nature was, as always, present and the lines of cleavage gradually appeared; slowly yet steadily, the pioneering souls (a very small minority) shifted their consciousness gradually higher into the solar plexus and a recognition of the factor of desire for th

their dark place. physical plane methods, when motivated by unchanging love of humanity and under the direction of an enlightened soul, become agents of righteousness. there are worse things than the death of the physical body; there is the enslaving of the human soul. 2. the focussing of the inner life towards the hierarchy in radiant faith. the way of the coming one must be made clear, and the life force must be dedicated to the outer life of compassion. 3. the clarifying of the mental life in the pure light of the soul. disciples live too much in the world of feeling; hence the clouding of their vision. when they have clarified their minds and see the situation whole, they can then appeal to the avatar to make his appearance. this appeal must be made via the christ. 4. disciples must e

to express the understanding and the intention of the hierarchy. to the initiate, therefore, the two words, transfiguration and transformation, mean something quite different than they mean to a disciple, whilst transmutation is now meaningless to him, for there is nothing within him which requires transmuting. it might consequently be stated that: 1. transmutation concerns the expression of the life force upon the three lower planes of human living and evolution- 182- a treatise on the seven rays- volume v: the rays and the initiations copyright 1998 lucis trust 2. transformation concerns in a most peculiar manner the three aspects of mind upon the mental plane: a. the lower mind b. the son of mind, the soul c. the higher mind. 3. transfiguration concerns the life of the spiritual triad

and powerful expression of this first aspect is demanded. there are several reasons why the will presents a problem. let us list a few of them and thereby get understanding. 1. this energy of the will is the most potent energy in the whole scheme of planetary existence. it is called the "shamballa force" and it is that which holds all things together in life. it is, in reality, life itself. this life force or divine will (implementing divine intention) is that by means of which sanat kumara arrives at his goal. on a tiny scale, it is the use of one of the lowest aspects of the will (human self-will) which enables a man to carry out his plans and attain his fixed purpose if he has one. where the will is lacking, the plan dies out and the purpose is not achieved. even in relation to self-wi

the two together constitute the two arcs of the great circle of existence. in this sign starts the path on which form is taken and dominates; on it likewise begins the life of inner unfoldment and the domination [32] of the soul, or of subjective being. reorganization, reorientation, repolarizing and regeneration, are the characteristics of this stage, and all of them are expressions of the same life force. the two uses of this force are dependent upon the mental attention of the being, divine and human, who is utilizing it. it is the same force, but used in two different ways, dependent upon whether the divine user has focused his attention upon form-taking, or upon treading the path of liberation from form. for aeons, this life force has been applied to selfish ends, to the purposes of

nating and attain the kingdom of the gods; he has learned from experience something of his own essential duality and yearns to cease from satisfying the lower aspect of that duality and to meet the need of the higher, and he is beginning to respond to impulses coming from the world of souls, and to vision group ends and group objectives. now he has to learn to use the- 22- the labours of hercules life force with unselfish intent, and not for the satisfaction of his personal greeds. the three initial impulses in aries three outstanding urges characterize this sign. there is, as we have seen, the urge to begin. this may express itself simply as the urge to take form, to become involved in matter; or it may reverse the process and focus itself in the urge to achieve liberation from form, and

shall look briefly at some general aspects of its theory and practice. at the end, i have included a simple ritual to illustrate some of these points. folk magick and ritual magick whether you are casting a simple spell, using items from your kitchen cupboard, or performing a complicated group ceremony, the source of the power behind it is the same. every spell or ritual involves channelling the life force that runs through all forms of existence and transforming it into higher spiritual energies. these spiritual powers include our own evolved self, which some say is formed through many lifetimes, and the higher divine cosmic energies, such as a supreme god or goddess, or, more abstractly, some sort of divine light, spirit and goodness. magick for healing, it must be said, is not so far r

a focus for meditation. but if you do not find them helpful, there is no need to use them. most rituals are related to the basic human needs for health, love, fertility and prosperity. in chapter 13, seasons and festivals, i describe the major solar, lunar and agricultural festivals that formed a focus for attracting abundance and increase to the land, animals, crops and people, tapping into the life force that connected them all. in past time, the well-being of the planet was considered to be the responsibility of peasant as well as king through paying tributes and enacting age-old ceremonies to invoke the necessary energies for the wheel of the year to turn. so individual prosperity or fertility was attained both through private spells and charms and by sending positive energies to the

lly physical corpse, reanimated as a punishment for its sins, that returned to its family to murder and eat the flesh of some unfortunate relative. we would probably call this most ancient species of fictional vampire a zombie or a ghoul today. it is easy to see how the stories of a completely corporeal vampire that consumes human flesh, and a completely spiritual vampire that sucks out the vital life force, became combined into the half-physical and half-spiritual film vampire of the 20th century. this is the vampire that most people think of when they hear the term spoken. it is only a fiction, but as is so often true, the legend is based on fact. there are three kinds of real vampire. they are not very well know outside the halls of esoteric lodges that study and practice the arcane art

fect their presence has on others. when they enter a crowded room, the vitality drains from those around them. conversation quiets. laughter ceases. a dark shadow seems to grip the heart. the psychic vampire may be animated and laughing all the while, but the happiness of others drains away. usually this type of vampiric personality fixes itself on one person, or a small group, and feeds upon the life force of its victims until its victims are little more than hollow shells. vampirized individuals lose hope, lack all energy or enthusiasm, and often commit suicide. the sucking of the life force occurs during sleep as well as waking. the dreams of the victim are haunted by the psychic vampire. over time the will of the vampire completely subdues and controls the will of the victim. in this w

gantic form of cetus, which is still preserved as a constellation. according to many scattered fragments extant, man's lower nature was symbolized by a tremendous, awkward creature resembling a great sea serpent, or dragon, called leviathan. all symbols having serpentine form or motion signify the solar energy in one of its many forms. this great creature of the sea therefore represents the solar life force imprisoned in water and also the divine energy coursing through the body of man, where, until transmuted, it manifests itself as a writhing, twisting monster- man's greeds, passions, and lusts. among the symbols of christ as the savior of men are a number relating to the mystery of his divine nature concealed within the personality of the lowly jesus. the gnostics divided the nature of

MICHAEL W FORD THE VAMPIRE GATE

eased from the flesh limitations of this world. the foundations of vampirism within the practice of luciferian witchcraft are based within the study and conventional understanding of the odic force, qi, chi or astral energy. understanding the concept and study of this process is fully made manifest in the process of vampirism and the absorbing of energy. qi is the far eastern concept of spiritual life force, or energy. this word is commonly referred to or related to the word air which can mean astral energy as well. one of the earliest mentioning of qi is in the analects of confucius composed around 479 b.c. the concept of qi or chi is indeed lifebreath, the essence of life itself. in the practice of yoga, specifically, ahrimanic yoga, the luciferian controls the flow of lifebreath through

lding the mind builds the immortal spirit. 3. qi or life energy is around all of us. drain it and grow strong from it. you absorb energy from focus itself using aighash, the persian demon of the evil eye the eye represents the soul, use this to mentally connect with everything around you. one of our 18 symbols, aapep or apophis, is the devil serpent of ancient egypt. we seek to feast and drain on life force, on the astral plane and in the flesh. to join us is to be hidden mostly in society, to be the wolf among sheep. humanity seeks eternally a safety net; a god to believe will save their souls, all the while sending tsunamis, hurricanes, blizzards, and all conceivable disasters upon its own creation. would this be a spirit you would open your arms to? does it help you to know that while y

s through it and move towards your chosen victim. if it is around 3 am, they will be sleeping more than likely. if not, you will have to choose a cycle close to when they will be in deep sleep. send the servitor forth; recall it after a period of 15 minutes or so. allow the astral body of the servitor to flow back into you and with it the energy it drained from the chosen person. feel part of the life force making you stronger. allow the servitor to return to the object of what you have made for it. 32 astral vampirism from the material body astral flight is a powerful state in vampiric development. the luciferian spirit is centered in the element air, thus relating to the astral body itself. the witches sabbat in the luciferian witchcraft tradition is founded in the dreaming or astral con

ryday life while secretly, with the intent of immortality. much of the practice of vampyrism or vampirism from a luciferian focus is based around the ahrimanic daevas, yatuk dinoih. one may practice vampirism in the following manner: 1. physical contact (handshake, brush up against, handing something to individual) 2. sight (imagine a serpent extending from your body to enter their body, draining life force with the eye) this is of aighash, ahrimanic daeva. 3. ritual setting (in ritual chamber, using image or word created image to focus the mind on) this is focused on akoman the evil mind. 4. dreaming or nightmare practice. perhaps the most powerful but also the most difficult. this belongs to astwihad the evil flyer of night devouring daeva. mal occhio is the evil eye. the evil eye has lo

RABBI AMIRAM MARKEL MARKEL THE KNOWLEDGE OF G D VOL 1

em (the knowledge of g-d) copyright by rabbi amiram markel and habochur hatamim shimon markel the soul of man it is clear that there is a force which enlivens the body. the external body itself is nothing more than an inanimate vessel which contains and is animated by this force. this is readily observable by the fact that when one passes away, g-d forbid, his body remains intact, but without any life force. at this point the body no longer has the faculties of a living being. the brain no longer thinks nor do the eyes see. it can no longer smell with its nose nor hear with its ears, nor can it move its limbs. the heart no longer beats nor does the blood surge through the veins. there are no feelings and emotions; no love, no fear, no pleasure, anguish, anticipation, joy or regret. in shor

he atomic and subatomic particles, that everything is moving. there is nothing in the universe which is stationary, but rather, everything is teeming with activity. but where does all this activity come from, for just as man s body cannot move itself, so too, no body in the universe can move itself? from this it appears that there must be a force which propels and enlivens the universe. were this life force to be removed, the universe would be like a body without a soul. just as we can clearly see that everything that takes place in the physical body of man comes from the soul, so too, in the macrocosm, it must be this life force; the soul of the world, if you will, which animates everything in the universe. everything that takes place must be a direct result of this enlivening force which

ing that takes place in the physical body of man comes from the soul, so too, in the macrocosm, it must be this life force; the soul of the world, if you will, which animates everything in the universe. everything that takes place must be a direct result of this enlivening force which causes it. an example is the influence of the sun on our planet. everything on our planet gets its sustenance and life force from the sun. if the rays of the sun were too intense or not intense enough, everything would die. were the sun too close, we would all burn up and were it too far, we would all freeze. the weather on the planet is a direct result of the influences of the sun. the clouds are caused by the evaporation of ocean water and the winds are whipped up through the collision of warm and cold atmo

other planetary influences. the entire planet is dependant on these forces. were theses influences greater or smaller than necessary, world chaos would erupt. but, in actuality, the sun, moon and planets, in and of themselves, are no more alive than anything else in the universe, and certainly no more than the human body. therefore, it appears that there must be a controlling force which is their life force and the life force of everything else in the universe. this force makes the world tick. it makes its heart beat, so to speak. the source of all existence we concluded above that the universe and everything in it, including the human body, appears to have an animating force within it to enliven it, and that without this force it would be nothing more than dead matter. however, it is actu

oul. nonetheless, because we can clearly see, that when this power is revealed in actual movement, there are an infinite number of possible movements that could have been made, had conditions warranted it, we are forced to say, that every detail of every possible movement, is included as a heyulie (ability, in the essential self of the soul. another example of this may be drawn from the influx of life force from the soul to enliven the body. though, once it becomes invested in the body, it is revealed as several differentiated faculties, such as the power of sight in the eyes, the power for hearing in the ears, etc, certainly, while this life force was still in the essence of the soul, all that existed was the essential singularity of the soul, similar to what was stated above about the po

re, to the finest details, as distinct abilities. nonetheless, they are in no way outside of and distinct from the soul and have no real being on their own. therefore they are said to be distinct qualities without being. since this is only the preparation for actualization, but no action has yet come out, it may still be delayed or aborted altogether. in regard to the analogy of the influx of the life force of the soul to enliven the body, this is the stage when the soul is about to become invested in the body to enliven it, but has not yet actually come out. the essential light of the soul now, being that all awareness; the awareness of pleasure and desire, of insight, comprehension, interest and emotions, as well as the awareness of all the other faculties, such as seeing, hearing, smell

ith the "conclusion of the therefore) that gives rise to heartfelt emotions which are rooted in reason. lights and vessels now, before we can continue to explain the various parts of the emotions and their interrelationships with each other, the intellect, the desire and the self, we must first understand several important matters in regard to lights and vessels. the zohar states that "he and his life force are one" and "he and his organs are one "he and his life force are one" refers to the lights of the sefirot, and "he and his organs are one" refers to the vessels of the sefirot. the sefer yetzirah calls the lights of the ten sefirot "the ten sefirot without whatness (esser sefirot blee mah. in other words, the lights themselves are beyond form or description. as we learned above, the e

s mentioned before, it is specifically through the abundance of vessels, that tikkun (rectification) can take place. the body of the king there are three main organs (vessels) in a human being which are the chief organs of the body. these are the brain, heart and liver. the brain is the vessel for the intellect, the heart is the vessel for the emotions and the liver is the vessel for the physical life force. the brain is the vessel for the neshamah level of the soul, which animates the intellect. the heart is the vessel for the ruach level of the soul, which is the spirit of life and emotions and the liver is the vessel for the nefesh level of the soul, which is the physical life force invested in the blood. the two higher levels of the soul, the chaya and yechidah are not contained within

which are born out of the unification of nehi"y of abba and imma (the gut emotions of insight and comprehension),which are the lowest level of the emotions of the intellect of atzilut, as explained earlier. the emotions of atzilut, on the other hand, are called zeir anpin (the small face. now, as is known, zeir anpin is still considered to be part of the infinite, as stated "he and his organs and life force are one. this will now be explained in greater detail. as mentioned above, the upper two levels of the soul, the chaya& yechidah, are encompassing lights which do not become limited within the vessels. the yechidah is the aspect of the simple essential pleasure and desire whereas the chaya is the aspect of the source of the intellect itself (maskil. these two levels of the soul are not

ire whereas the chaya is the aspect of the source of the intellect itself (maskil. these two levels of the soul are not (usually) enclothed and limited within vessels at all. it is only chochmah and the sefirot below it, that are drawn into vessels and limited by them. as mentioned above, the neshamah is the intellect in the brain and the ruach is the emotions of the heart while the nefesh is the life force in the liver. now, although these two encompassing lights of the soul, the chaya and yechidah, do not become enclothed or limited within the vessels, nonetheless, light shines forth from them into the intellect and below. for example, the desire is revealed within the intellect, in the brain of chochmah and from there is drawn down into the comprehension of binah. from binah it is drawn

g down process (seder hishshtalshelut. from this we see that the external emotions of the heart of zeir anpin are still totally bound up and unified with the simple essential desire as it exists in the essence of the infinite light before the tzimtzum. this being the case, even the externality of the heart of zeir anpin is still considered to be part and parcel of the infinite because "he and his life force and organs are one. this is similar to how it is in a human being, whose essential desires as they exist in the soul, heartfelt desires, gut desires, and even physical reactions, are totally bound up with each other to the point that it is difficult to differentiate between them. now although the vessels of zeir anpin are totally limited and tiny, in comparison to the way the emotions e

ehended within the vessel of the brain, it is compared to "water which has become frozen (d agleedie maya, and is now established. in other words, now it has definite form. this is the meaning of the verse in ezekiel "on the heads of the chayot angels, a firmament with the likeness of ice" the "chayot" refers to the emotions. this is because the word chayot which means "living beings" also means "life force (chayoot. this refers to the vitality of the emotions of the heart, which is the seat of the life force "on the head of the chayot" refers to binah, for it is the comprehension and intellect of binah which gives rise to the emotions. the prophet explains further, that it is specifically a "firmament" of the comprehension, in the "likeness of ice, that gives rise to emotional life force

as created, the torah tells us that g-d put adam to sleep. this teaches us that the "sleep of zeir anpin" is a necessary prerequisite to his wife being separated from him. before the separation, the female (nukvah) was included in zeir anpin, just as chava was included in adam. only after the separation of adam s "rib" was chava built into a separate human being in and of herself, with a separate life force and body (one cannot do analytical thought and speak at the same time, he must first think and then he can speak. therefore, in order for malchut (speech, to come into being as an existence of its own, the thought needs to recede and then immediately the speech may begin. therefore, it is necessary for there to be a dormita d z"a (the sleep of zeir anpin) before the "building up" of mal

the meaning of the verse "for with you is the source of life, in your light we see light, is that from g-d s primary light, a secondary light becomes visible. what is seen is only a radiance of a radiance. this is similar to the impression of the letters of a signet into to the wax. the impression that remains in the wax is only an impression of the letters of the signet. likewise, the light and life force of the world of briyah is only a "radiance of a radiance" of the malchut of malchut of atzilut, which only shines through a partition and becomes the keter of briyah. this may be understood as follows. as mentioned above, the world of atzilut corresponds to the general sefirah of chochmah. however, it is only from the last level of chochmah that a flash of intuition comes into binah. fu

ound "switch over" between one level and the next, so that one level is completely different from the other. nonetheless, the ultimate purpose of this chaining down of lights and vessels is so that the viewer could sit in his living room and watch the show. this final act was the original desire and intention in the mind of the producer. this too is the aspect of a masach. likewise, the light and life force of the world of briyah only receives its light through a masach (screen, which is made up of the external letters of the higher world of atzilut. this is to say that the malchut of malchut of atzilut (the most external letters of the upper world of atzilut, becomes the light and life force of the keter of briyah (the desire to bring about the world of briyah. the source of the masach no

h referring to the shattering of the vessels. we must therefore read this verse as if the verb were in the pluperfect: gthe earth had been without form and void, h i.e, the world of tohu had previously collapsed, losing its stability (form) leaving sparks in all the realm of tikun, including the world of beriah. the next phrase, gand the spirit of g-d was hovering over the waters, h refers to the life force [i.e, glights, h of the world of tohu] that the vessels could not receive. in tohu, the lights were too intense and powerful for the vessels to contain; this is why they shattered, similar to the way someone who hears some idea or concept for which he is not prepared becomes disoriented or even suffers a nervous breakdown. the arizal on parashat bereishit 14 these lights that could not

h and his brothers. due to his sexual purity, joseph is associated with the sefirah of yesod. 1 genesis 25:21. 2 ibid. 44:3. the arizal on parashat toldot 120 now, the light that issues from the beard, via the hairs, is called mazal, because it gflows h drop by drop. the word mazal in hebrew is derived from the root nun-zayin-lamed, which means gto flow. h a mazal is a spiritual conduit of divine life force, which flows from it to some other level. to explain: the light of the infinite one [first] becomes manifest in the head of arich anpin, in which are situated the brains. when it then seeks to be manifest [further, down] through the throat, which is narrow, the light bursts forth [through the skin] as hair. this is the origin of the beard. the transformation of divine consciousness from

o isaac, and his neshamah into jacob. as will soon be explained, the patriarchs rectified the collapse of spiritual consciousness adam precipitated by his sin. in so doing, they had to reconstruct divine consciousness from the bottom up. thus, abraham began with the lowest level of the soul, the nefesh, which is the animating, vital force in the body; isaac continued with the ruach, the emotional life force; and jacob continued with the neshamah, the intellectual life force. it is also explained in the zohar3 that abraham rectified the sin of idolatry, isaac the sin of murder, and jacob the sin of sexual licentiousness. these are the three cardinal sins, which the torah instructs us to give up our lives for rather than transgress (if we are given the choice between being killed or committi

,11 this verse is interpreted to refer to someone who does not procreate, that is, does not utilize his sexuality properly [as we said] jacob set out to rectify the sin of sexual licentiousness, i.e, wasting seed and giving it over to lilith and na famah, who are termed gnakedness, h as is known. as we have seen previously, these are the archetypal female demons, i.e, the power of evil to receive life force from the realm of holiness. this feminine evil takes the vital force of wasted seminal emissions and impregnates itself with it, producing demons, or forces of evil, i.e, anti-divine consciousness. the idiom for gsexual licentiousness h (gilui arayot) is literally guncovering the nakedness h of a forbidden sexual partner. his first 130 years therefore passed in suffering and exile, as i

6:1-4; rashi on genesis 6:11, 12, 13, 7:4. 10 isaiah 3:11. 11 zohar chadash, midrash rut, piriah veriviah. 12 on genesis 43:14. the arizal on parashat vayigash 215 it is then written, gand jacob lived in egypt for seventeen years. h13 for at that point the living neshamah of adam entered him. this is alluded to by the words gand jacob lived. h these words imply that jacob received a new influx of life force, which, as we have seen, was the rectified soul of adam. this lasted for seventeen years, this being the numerical value of the word for ggood h [tov, indicating that the first 130 years were spent rectifying the evil, whereas the last 17 years were good, without evil. tov: tet-vav-beit= 9+ 6+ 2= 17. these years were the good years of jacob fs life, for he was reunited with joseph and l

e it directly. rather, they are attached to it from the back, facing the shechinah fs back, and this is how they derive their sustenance. in hebrew, the idiom for gto greet h is literally gto receive the face of. h if we imagine the forces of evil as cosmic leeches or other such sucking creatures, the imagery of them sucking off the back of the body conveys the idea that they receive only minimal life force from holiness. the front of the body houses much more vitality and sources of higher-quality life-force. 6 daniel 2:38. 7 lamentations 1:5. 8 psalms 89:52. 9 daniel 2:34. 10 sotah 42a. the arizal on parashat bo (2) 7 pharaoh was facing the neck, sitting and feeding off it. there are three channels of sustenance in the neck: the trachea, the esophagus, and the blood vessels. gthe blood v

y the two common carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain. these are the three names elokim, whose numerical value [plus the kolel] is the same as that of the word for gthroat h [garon, 259. elokim: alef-lamed-hei-yud-mem= 1+ 30+ 5+ 10+ 40= 86. 3 x 86= 258. garon: gimel-reish-vav-nun= 3+ 200+ 6+ 50= 259. the name elokim signifies contraction (tzimtzum, in this context, the contraction of life force flowing from the head to the torso. joseph manifested the gcovenant of the tongue, h which includes them all [this is] also [evident from the fact that] the numerical value of the word for gtongue h [lashon, 386] is that of two names elokim, one simple (86) and one spelled out with yuds (300. the gcovenant of the tongue h is first alluded to in sefer yetzirah,11 being mentioned as oppos

ebrew for egypt, mitzrayim, can be read meitzar yud-mem, gthe constriction of the letters yud-mem, h i.e, of the last two letters of the name elokim. one of the three channels of life-force in the neck, we said, is the set of two blood vessels the supply the brain with blood. these evidently signify the two states of gevurah embodied in egypt. since the forces of evil seek to appropriate the holy life force in these blood vessels, they were smitten with blood. of the plague of lice, the sorcerers of egypt said, git is the finger of g-d, h because the numerical value of the word for glice h [kinim] is 120, corresponding to the 120 [permutations of] the name elokim. since they could not produce them, they said that this plague was from the name elokim. perhaps this means that they understood

the allegory for the gprivate domain, h since the consciousness of atzilut is that creation has only one owner, g-d. the three lower worlds allegorically are the gpublic domain, h since the consciousness dominant in these worlds is that there is such a thing as independent existence. at other times, they cause a blemish in levels below it, i.e, in the realm of impurity itself, which receives its life force through the gother gods. h this [is damage caused in] the public domain. gimpurity h is the self-awareness that exists in the lower worlds. the gother gods h are the angels and other channels through which divine energy flows into these worlds. it is the fact that they are not created and informed gdirectly h from g-d that leaves room for gcreature-consciousness, h i.e, self-awareness

t descends, etc] from the holy chariot, and if it is ritually impure [tamei] it derives from the impure chariot. the gdivine chariot, h a vision of a person riding a chariot, is described most vividly in the first chapter of the book of ezekiel, but appears elsewhere in the bible as well. it is generally understood to be a depiction of the hierarchy of divine powers through which g-d channels his life force into the world. each detail of the vision embodies a different aspect of this organization of life powers, and all the details eventually find their way into various manifestations in this world. the gholy beasts h here are the four celestial creatures that bear the divine chariot. gthis was their appearance: they were human figures, but each one had four faces, and each one had four wi

of them c. as for the likeness of their faces: each one had a human face [in the the arizal on parashat vayikra (2) 416 front; each of the four had a lion fs face to the right; each of the four had an ox fs face to the left; and each of the four had an eagle fs face [in the back. h1 corresponding to this gdivine chariot h is an gimpure chariot, h or the array of powers through which g-d channels life force into the realm of evil, in order to create and sustain it until such time as its purpose has been served and it can be dispensed with. the soul[s] of the domesticated animal descend from the face of the ox of the chariot [those of] the wild animals descend from the face of the lion in the chariot [those of] the fowl descend from the face of the eagle of the chariot. the permitted (koshe

, western science has been fixated upon the concept that everything in the universe is subject to physical laws and exists only in terms of mass and energy matter being transformed by energy into a variety of conditions and shapes that come into existence only to pass away eventually in time and space. death, therefore, is the end of existence for all who succumb to its ultimate withdrawal of the life force. from time to time, however, highly regarded scientists have protested that such a view of the universe leaves out a sizable portion of reality. british philosopher and mathematician alfred north whitehead (1861 1947) observed that a strictly materialistic approach to life completely ignored the subjective life of humans or that area of existence which is commonly called the spiritual

age, many psychical researchers who specialize in such areas of the unknown draw the distinction that phantoms are most often associated with locales that over the years have built up unique atmospheres, such as places of battle, tragedy, or great suffering. in such hauntings, certain ethereal figures may be reported so often over so many years that they seem almost to have assumed an independent life force that has enabled them to continue to exist within the context of a specific battlefield, the ruins of a burned building, or the shadowed places in a hospital corridor. in this chapter the many categories of ghosts and phantoms will be explored, such as apparitions of the dead, the possibility of animal spirits, the phenomenon of spooklights, and the disrupting energy of the poltergeist

earances of the dead, in which a recognized ghostly image is seen or heard long after the actual person represented by the apparition has died, are felt by many observers and researchers to prove survival of the human spirit beyond the grave. ghosts or apparitions that habitually appear in a room, house, or locale are known as phantoms, eerie phenomena that often appear over the years to attain a life force of their own, as if they were some kind of psychic marionettes. although people have been reporting seeing ghosts and the spirits of the dead since the earliest historical records of human activity, the t h e g a l e e n c y c l o p e d i a o f t h e u n u s u a l a n d u n e x p l a i n e d 4 ghosts and phantoms ghost with hand on light bulb (archives of brad steiger) first organized e

is decided before it begins. indeed, with a kind of sadistic delight the demons of the subconscious can force the perceived self to experience the same dream over and over, perhaps hundreds of times, always with the same outcome and no hope to change it. by compelling the dreamer to reaffirm their identities the spirits grow more concrete, for the sub- conscious conviction of the dreamer is their life force. the magus will not long endure this humiliating subjugation. he or she knows full well the difficulty of reaching the subconscious entities during waking. they hide in the darkness of the mind beyond the limits of his or her perceptions and bide their time, waiting for the magus to relax his or her vigilance. but during sleep they reveal themselves freely, confident of the impotence of

muel speculates that the homophonic similarity between the words god (lha) and life-force (bla) is not a coincidence and is tied to an ancient belief that the two were ultimately the same, given the indigenous nature of deities as abiding in local mountains and rivers. he claims that gods came out of an anthropomorphization of this binding force, possibly enhanced by buddhist influence, while the life-force retains its original, more intangible nature.23 the life-energy (srog) is perhaps more consistent with western notions of a soul as it resides within the body, specifically in the heart. the life-energy does not wander like the life-force, but it can be stolen by demonic forces, resulting in severe illness and death. the life-breath (dbugs) consists of vital air that travels through the

wal from the earth-plane is not his line of progress. the normal, healthy westerner has no desire to escape from life, his urge is to conquer it and reduce it to order and harmony. it is only the pathological types who long to "cease upon the midnight with no pain" to be free from the wheel of birth and death; the normal western temperament demands "life, more life" 8. it is this concentration of life-force that the western occultist seeks in his operations. he does not try to escape from matter into spirit, leaving an unconquered country behind him to get on as best it may; he wants to bring the godhead down into manhood and make divine law prevail even in the kingdom of the shades. this is the root-motive for the acquisition of occult powers upon the right-hand path, and explains why ini

a. although there is some disagreement regarding how many chakra points the human body has, since in truth it has many, 5-7 of them are widely accepted and considered major chakras. the major chakra points form a linear, vertical path from the soles of the feet, up the spine to a region just above the head. these chakra points are essentially junctions between someone s material and etheric body; life-force from that etheric body pours in to replenish the material body. at night, the vampiric spirits induce feelings of fear and lust in dreams and feed from the extra life-force created. it s also worth noting that activities such as: nervous twitches, chewing gum, excessive talking, and pretty much any unnecessary activity further spills the cup of life. the beings in the astral cannot part

he act, killing their victim, and gaining strength from the victim s blood; one of these popular conceptions is false, another is symbolic, and the rest are accurate. vampires do become excited when they feed, and do become stronger, but they do not actually drink blood, and they do not kill their victim. in movies and novels, the act of drinking physical human blood is symbolic for the taking of life-force. the bite of the vampire is also symbolic for the rite of transformation. vampires feed in the manner that all vampiric spirits feed, by coming into close proximity to a human, reaching out, and drawing life-energy out of their target s aura. the vampire extends from himself what are often described as thin, silvery threads which act as tubes or channels in which to siphon life-force fr

types of vampires, and each type is different regarding its balance of material and spirit; some vampires lean towards more spirit, while others lean towards the flesh. the vampire is a being whose astral body is disconnected to their physical, unlike humans whose astral and physical bodies are tightly bound. because of this schism, their energy centers, or chakras, are essentially broken and the life-force produced by these centers cannot sustain the vampire s flesh, and so the vampire is forced to feed from the life-force of humans to compensate. humans, unlike vampires, often produce well above their needs of life-force, and can even survive being leeched upon by vampires and other astral entities. vampires use visualization techniques in order to feed from the lifeforce of humans; from

ated contact, the threads between a human and a vampire can be such--michael wynn's "the soul travelers" 63 where the vampire need only envision their target and begin feeding. remember, in the astral world, to imagine someone or something in detail is to access its location. the vampire may also use objects that have been in close and repeated contact with the victim to send thoughts and receive life-force. using close personal objects of the victim, the vampire may sense the location and emotional state of the owner, and may also send thoughts down the threads to the target. each time a vampire feeds from someone, the astral threads that permanently bind the two accumulate. as the threads accumulate, it becomes easier for that vampire to flood the mind of his victim with thoughts and eve

priests are the most subject to the energies of the moon, and can even access an object s past by touching it. a vampire that becomes dangerously low on life-force can be reduced to an invalid, and eventually die a fleshly death- although their spirit may persist. vampires, like humans, can and do eat food in order to replenish themselves; many vampires could survive taking only trace amounts of life-force from those around them. but to all vampires, the act of feeding is too pleasurable, regardless of its lack of need. some vampires are made sick by food, especially when they re low on life-force. vampires can live relatively normal day-lives, it s their night-life that s different. when sleeping, the astral bodies of the vampires detaches from their physical completely, which allows the

l soul-root. these were [intended to be] rectified in the souls of cain and abel, abel rectifying the aspect of chochmah and cain the aspect of binah. all [the souls that originate in the left side] from binah downward, became gshells h [i.e, evil. in contrast, even the gevurah-aspects of [the right side, that] which descends from chochmah, did not become gshells, h although they did become their life-force. 1 eiruvin 18a, based on genesis 5:3. the arizal on parashat noach (2) 29 as we said previously, binah is the aspect of the intellect that exercises judgement and evaluates the insight of chochmah. therefore, it is essentially a judgmental force, and as such can serve as the source for unholy judgement and vengeance. therefore, when cain attempted to rectify [reality by offering his sac

evil. g-d set up the workings of the world such that ideally, his beneficence flows primarily and directly to the forces of holiness and goodness, in order that they have what they need to carry out his purpose. only a residual flow of beneficence reaches the forces of evil.enough to keep them in existence so that they can fulfill their role in the scheme of things. evil also does not receive its life-force directly from g-d; rather, each nation receives its divine flow via its celestial, spiritual archetypal angel (or gprince h. this is why non-jews are allowed to believe in a certain degree of idolatry, i.e, that g-d shares or distributes his power to other celestial beings. however, when those who should be acting righteously sin, they forfeit their preeminence and increase the power of

ud the 45-name is spelled yud-vav-dalet hei-alef vav-alef-vav hei-alef. the regression of this name is: yud-vav-dalet yud-vav-dalet hei-alef yud-vav-dalet hei-alef vav-alef-vav yud-vav-dalet hei-alef vav-alef-vav hei-alef in each case, it can be seen that 26 letters are used in the regression. mabul: mem-beit-vav-lamed= 40+ 2+ 6+ 30= 78. the word mabul thus alludes to the withdrawal of the divine life-force indicated by these iterations of the name havayah from the world* when noah came out of the ark after the flood, g-d re-articulated the seven noahide commandments to him. included in this is the prohibition of tearing the flesh off a living animal, which generalizes to causing unnecessary pain to animals. the arizal on parashat noach (2) 44 regarding killing animals, it is mentioned in

:203a. the arizal on parashat noach (2) 52 in contrast, the states of gevurah that descend on the right axis always remain red, and they become the nefesh of the evil shells. there are sparks of holiness within them that fell [into them] when the vessels [of the world of tohu] were shattered. these are the vav-hei [of the name havayah, the vav being the lifeforce of the male and the hei being the life-force of the female of the evil shells. since the right axis is not inherently one of gevurah, the gevurah within it does not descend as much as the sefirot on the left axis can. when a person divulges a secret to a sinner, he causes [the evil embodied by this person] to couple with the hei openly and the forces of evil abduct the offspring [of this union. this is the mystical meaning of the

e two types of coupling, one external and one internal. the external one is never lacking and requires no arousal from below, and exists in order to sustain all the worlds. as our sages state, g[marital relations] are good for the woman, good for the embryo, and good for the milk. h8 the external, superficial coupling of abba and ima is indeed continuous, and supplies all reality with the minimal life-force it requires in order to continue to exist. the statement of the sages reads: gduring the first three months of pregnancy, marital relations are harmful to the woman and to the embryo; during the middle three months, they are harmful for the woman but good for the embryo; during the final three months, they are good for the woman and good for the embryo. h presumably, the arizal is refer

mension of yesod, which [participates in] the external coupling, which causes everything [else] to couple and provides for everything, as we explained regarding ima. meaning: just as ima participates in two types of coupling, so do z feir anpin and nukva participate in two types of coupling. just as with abba and ima, the external, superficial coupling of z feir anpin and nukva channels the basic life-force necessary to keep the world functioning. 11 see rashi on genesis 17:1. the arizal on parashat lech lecha 89 these are the states of gevurah within yesod. as our sages explained, the name shakai means that [g-d] is the one who said genough h to his world.12 [this name] gives strength and [the ability to] limit to the states of gevurah, for the [unhindered] states of chesed extend without

ty seven years [long, the years of the life of sarah. sarah died in kiryat arba, which is hebron, in the land of canaan. abraham came to eulogize sarah and weep for her. h1 the numerical value of the word for gwas h [i.e, the first word of] this verse [va-yih fyu, vav-yud-hei-yud-vav] is 37. the mystical significance of this is that since sarah personified the divine attribute of gevurah, all her life-force was derived solely from the spelling-out of the name [havayah whose numerical value when spelled out is] 63, which is 37. as we have explained previously, there are four principle ways the name havayah (yud-hei-vav-hei) is spelled out in kabbalah, giving the four numerical values of 72, 63, 45, and 52. to arrive at the value 63, the name is spelled out as follows: yud-vav-dalet, hei-yud

pectively, which in turn are constructed from the sefirot of chochmah, binah, the midot, and malchut, respectively. thus, the 63-name is associated with the ima and binah, which are on the left side of the sefirah-tree, and are thus on the gevurah-axis of the sefirot. sarah was the first matriarch of the holy jewish people, and is thus naturally associated with the partzuf of ima (the mother. the life-force of sarah [is revealed] when the light of yesod of ima is revealed in the first third of its tiferet, for it is there that the states of geuvrah begin to become revealed. the yesod of any partzuf is the drive of that partzuf for self-actualization. the self-actualization of ima occurs when the mentality it embodies is transferred to the central, pivotal partzuf, z feir anpin. however, th

. mem-mem tzadik-dalet-yud: 40+ 40+ 90+ 4+ 10= 184. similarly, the numerical value of pei-alef tzadik-dalet-yud is 185, which is again the numerical value of the spelling out of the name kel. pei-alef tzadik-dalet-yud= 80+ 1+ 90+ 4+ 10= 185. thus, the transformation of the name havayah via atbash yields two names kel. any transformation of a name indicates a tzimtzum, or contraction of the divine life-force channeled through that name. we do the same with the second name havayah, giving 4 names kel, which manifest as two sets of 370. 4 x 185= 2 x (2 x 185= 2 x (370. for the first 370 [lights] are derived from the two names kel implicit in the first two letters of both [transformed] names, i.e, mem-tzadik, and they constitute the frontal 370 lights. the second 370 [lights] are derived from

unders of the torah who say that [joseph fs brothers] ate flesh torn from the body of living animals [ever min hachai] and looked at the daughters of the land. all of this is connected to yesod. it is explained that the motivation for eating flesh torn from the body of a living animal is the ecstatic, even orgasmic pleasure this brings, the ingestion of raw, unrectified (i.e, by ritual slaughter) life-force. this power-high assumes sexual proportions in the mind/body of the one doing this, and is therefore a blemish in yesod. 1 genesis 37:2. the arizal on parashat vayeisheiv 190 thus, it was in reality not joseph who was blemishing yesod but his brothers. by reported their behavior to their father, joseph was in fact trying to safeguard the integrity of yesod. they also derided [their half

st to the throat. rather than corresponding to a specific sefirah, the throat is just the respository of the initial state of the head. since [the throat] is a narrow and thin organ [the immature mental states] get stuck there. now, it is known that three vital channels or pipelines pass through the throat: the trachea, the esophagus, and the jugular veins, through which all a person fs blood and life-force passes, as is known, and as is stated in the talmud:1 gtake care with the jugular veins, in accordance with the opinion of rabbi yehudah, who said that [the slaughterer] must cut through the jugular veins. h kosher slaughtering demands that these veins be severed, in order to effect instant death to the animal. if the slaughterer does not sever these veins together, the animal is consid

r g-d] as splitting the sea of reeds, h5 and as is mentioned in the zohar.6 since nourishment and sustenance is associated with difficulty and obstacles, it requires gevurah to overcome these. the middle [stem] of the brain, the seat of da fat, extends via the jugular veins, which are an intermediary between the trachea and the esophagus, and which transport [the blood, the vehicle for] the chief life-force of the person. for the blood, which is [important because it carries] the animating-soul [nefesh] of the person, passes through them. in this view, just as trachea and esophagus carry air and nourishment from the upper part of the body to the lower, the jugular veins carry the gsoul h from the head to the rest of the body. we are accustomed to think of lifegiving blood as the oxygenated

o think of lifegiving blood as the oxygenated blood that travels through the arteries, while the blood that travels through the veins 4 3:232a, in ra faya mehemna. 5 pesachim 118a. 6 2:170a. the arizal on parashat vayeisheiv 200 is the deoxygenated blood that has been used by the body and is merely in transit back to the heart to be replenished. here, however, the imagery centers on the spiritual life-force from the soul, rather than the physical life-force from the oxygen, and we are to envision the blood leaving the head through the jugular veins as having been not only depleted of its oxygen but also gcharged h or gvitalized h with the animation of the soul, which is manifest first in the intellect in the brain. we have previously explained, on the verse gwhoever sheds the blood of a pe

e havayah] is known as the person fs blood, for the yesod of ima is the garment of da fat, which includes states of chesed and gevurah that descend via these veins in the form of ten types of blood, as we have mentioned in our exposition of pesach and the exodus from egypt.8 there are five states of chesed and five of gevurah within da fat, as we have seen previously. these become manifest in the life-force carried by the blood as ten gtypes of blood, h or ten variations of life-force that animate the person. this is the mystical meaning of the verse, gand the rooms will be filled with knowledge [da fat. h9 [this] refers to the blood, the life-force of a person, which extends throughout the entire body via the veins, which are called little rooms. the veins are thus filled with the states
