I will not lie to you and tell you that I'm glad to be here with you to tell you this because I'm not.Nor will I tell you that these words are "stupid" or meaningless. Any phenomena is a result of a relationship between 2 or more other phenomena. Therefore everything is infinite. and meaningless. But that is not so.

He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz.  - 1 Kings 7:21 The Letter Gimel is assigned to the High Priestess - Path 13 from Kether to Tiphareth.  According to the Kabbalah Deck which is a very brief summary of Sefer Yetzirah, Gimel embodies the vital qualities of both kindness and growth... Gimel teaches us that two apparently opposing forces must be blended to forma third, more complete and perfect entity.  Emanating from the oneness of Aleph and the Duality of Beit, there comes the synthesis known as Gimel...  useful words which begin with Gimel: Gamut - exile Gan Eden - paradise this is in harmonty of gimel a path leading from Kether to Tiphareth, from ATZILUTH to YETZIRAH Geburah - sephira 5 Gedulah - sephira 4 path 13 passess between the 2 sephirot of severity and mercy Gilgul - cycle the moon is assigned to The High Priestess

The symbolism of "The High Priestess" is very congruent with Mother Mary.  Can we put it through a symbolic analysis and verify the congruency? 1. The path of Gimel to which the High Priestess is assigned leads from Kether to Tiphareth.  Kether, the crown, is the ineffable source of creation,  It is that through which the 3 negative layers of Ain, Ain Soph, and Ain Soph Aur begin to condense into something intelligible though not quite comprehensible.  As the ineffable source of all creation it is also called "The Father", the Ancient of Days, the Ancient of Days, 1, the first whirlings, basically Father G-d, as the christians like to say.  The path of Gimel leads to Tiphareth, 6, which is associated with the center, the Son of the abovementioned father, also with Osiris, Krishna, Apollo, Dionysis, Jesus, and every other dead or dying G-d.  So Gimel, is the channel which brings the influence of Kether to Tiphareth, and Tiphareth is also the reflection ...

because that's where I started on june 6th, and I find myself in a strange place. there's fear there was a strange incident yesterday? where something in the north responded, something got poked in the north something got a glimpse inside and I, outside or was it a mirror? there was a thought to give up and go back to the mundane, but then I remembered... that Ive been here before and have given up before too when things got too intense. was that the reason? I could look over the old entries - whenever there was an occult streak - what was the reason for the cessation?  did the practice get too too intense? and then there's a lull? was it decided and for what reason? Can the info be extracted ? well theres only one way to find out - look, but will you have the perseverance to look? do you care? maybe better to continue forward instead of going back?

Today is the last day to do the magician.  Some insight included that he is somewhat like the Emperor with his ability to exert his will. Also a quality of will recognized as being hard and immutable, kinda like the element earth.  An act of will does not require any justification or any decision making.  One simply acts.  Should have referred to the book of thoth for some attributions, for the fool as well as the magician: A: Truth, laughter, lust: Wine's Holy Fool! Veil Ren, Lewd madness is sublime enlightenment KNOW NAUGHT! ALL WAYS ARE LAWFUL TO INNOCENCE. PURE FOLLY IS THE KEY TO INITIATION. SILENCE BREAKS INTO RAPTURE.

Since it is an Earth Banishing pentagram then the divine names' vibration charges its purpose.  It is to banish the energies of the element of Earth and nothing more.  Divine Name vibration sets in motion what the arm traced.  Archangels therefore "take" the energy which they represent / rule over. For about me flames the Pentagram is a 3d diagram where the corners of the pentagram are represented by the directions which they represent, with the top point being a point above the elemental plane. Also, when considering the corners of the pentagram, consider the element as a part of your being.  I have always thought it to be an "advanced" technique to visualize the color of the element, or the fixed sign of the element or the physical representation of the element, or the letter of the TETRAGRAMMATON...  Whatit means to me/you is what should be considered... your own Earth, Spirit, Fire, Air, Water, as mundane as possible, as sensible as possible... for now. ...
