XIX. The Sun


The Sun, our Father! Soul of Life and Light, 
Love and play freely, sacred in thy sight! -A.C. The Book of Thoth
A few accepted facts related to this path
The 30th path (The Sun) leads from Hod to Yesod. 
Hod is the 8th path and is called the Absolute or Perfect Intelligence
Yesod is the 9th path and is called the Pure or Clear intelligence
The 30th path is called the Collecting intelligence
Hod is related to Mercury, the mind, Hermes, and Thoth
Yesod is related to the Moon, Diana, and is the magical link between matter and mind.  It is what purifies all the influences from the other 8 sephirot before their manifestation in Malkuth, the world of Action.

That puts ר right between the mind and that which purifies the emanations from the other 8 sephirot... interestingly 8 is the number of Hod.

While in the mindset of The path of the Sun, the influence of its collecting intelligence led to some insights about the other paths, especially its direct opposite צ The Star.  צ means fishhook but its also that which hooks. цеплять (tzeplyat') (rus) to hook.  the root of this word is цепь (tzep') which means chain.  It refers to the connecting or unifying element in any creation. 


ר is a lot like ק without the stem.  Even though it's more like ל, its proximity to ר is more telling.
as ר follow ק it  implies the triumph of rational thought, ego, persona over the superstition, witchcraft, and heathen savagery implied by the moon card, associated with ק.

the feeling of rejuvination resulting from the realization of error. I want to say the error which originated in ק because error is associated with that path.

Raising children puts one face to face with the above.  Coming face to face with the Hideous subhuman element ק that the toddler and infant bastards display can cause one's own Hideous subhuman side to come out.  The realization how unnecessary it was, and the acceptance of the situation, with a renewed sense of determination to take a different approach is a blissful feeling, ר and a classical description of The Sun tarot.

Return to the tree of life traverse, in reverse

 The World How interesting it is to look back when I finished at this point in March of 2018. More will be added later as this path unfolds. The way out is not the same as the way in. The way back in is not the same as the way out. Even when using the same doorway. June 6, 2021 it was necessary to prolong this path two extra weeks - but the effort paid off.  On the last day of the 2nd two week cycle the meaning of the path finally revealed itself.  As I was considering it to be the first stage of transcending מלכות this path is activated by the awareness that all observable things, all phenomena, all processes in the universe are reflections of a transcendent "thing".  All that we see is  a pointer, a reference to an archetypal idea. Its the idea of the analogy that as 3 dimensional objects leave a 2 dimensional shadow, 4 dimensional objects leave a 3 dimensional shadow - our world. The world that we live, move, and "exist" in is a shadow of.... what? This is where

XX Judgement pass2

    June 23, 2021 The second time traversing the path was that of joy.  The realization was Realization.  The dead aspects of the self came to life - that which I thought I lost or forgotten began to return.  A sense of return to the work, to my life's path... every act, every new bit of knowledge felt like an opening of a box, a container, a coffin which contained an idea I had forgotten... including this work. mostly during daily meditations, a flood of memories it helped elucidate the idea from The World - that all things are a reflection of a "higher" thing - as above so below - and then the process of digging deeper into things - anything - from hardware components of dell poweredge servers to current and ancient history - each dig into the origin and source is an opening of a coffin.
