The Probationer need not be
concerned with the many diverse and intricate systems of the Qabalah
and the eventual wisdom and insight attained from them.
*
Better
to begin with a simple list of numbers. Numbers that are formula and
equation and symbol and truth and a method to fully understanding
attainment as it transpires.
*
Better
to begin with a simple list of numbers. Numbers that tell a story in
the mere reading of the list of numbers. Numbers that will allow the
perception of the interconnected nature of the universe to become
visible, possibly even tangible. Possibly.
*
Better
to begin with a simple list of numbers. Numbers that form formula,
and mixed and matched create more formula, and added, divided, or
multiplied, create more formula. Formula that is correct on every
level.
*
Better
to begin with a simple list of numbers. Numbers of the many wondrous
systems but not tied to them, allowing the wondrous systems to be
comprehended without the binding of any-one-thing to
any-other-thing, thereby creating bias.
The lists that follow contain a few
useful numbers with references, which can and will be expanded and
added to ad infinitum. All areas of Qabalistic study should begin
small and simple, but will inevitable continue to grow in size and
complexity. So much so that upon reaching the grade of Adept, the
size, scope, and refinement of the work is such that most of the
knowledge would be lost on the lower grades.
Let then the first list created by
the Probationer be comprised of a simple inventory of selected
numbers and some obvious definitions, designations, classifications,
or characterizations. The Probationer will compose a master list
only after a thorough review of the instructions following the
lists.

000 The Boundless Light
The great experiment is contemplated wherein the obligation to
experience every possible permutation of existence is formed.
00 The Boundless
The first utterance creates the attraction of the static and
the active.
0 Nothing
Birth of the Infinite as an abode for creation or the
infinite.

}

The
triad that was before the beginning, the negative triad:
000
BEING
?
NU
00
BECOMING
!
HAD
|
The first unmanifested form is NU, the
Circumference nowhere found. The second unmanifested form is HAD
existing within the circumference and everywhere the Center. Last,
the form RA-HOOR-KHU, which is all Motion within the circumference
from its center.
1 Unity
Instantaneous and complete – adding nothing
– removing nothing – not increasing – not decreasing.
2 Duality
Division instigates continuous expansion. Division is death. Death
is life. Life is chaos. Chaos is change. Change is Stability.
3 Triad / Trinity
The triad contains three components, in perfect balance, necessary
for the continuation of all things.
The discernible forms: the goddess
NUIT who is more than all substance within the boundless
circumference, and who represents the female or feminine side of the
equation; HADIT who is the male or masculine side of the equation.
When these two forces exist together, as they do in this universe,
their union causes the manifestation of all things through the form
of RA-HOOR-KHUT. A different way of examining this is to consider
Matter + Energy = Motion.

HORUS

The Awakening

The

4 Quaternary
Examining the components and their interaction in the triad
(trinity, triangle and cycle), there are always four possible
components and four potential modes of interaction.
The
interaction of the components in any form can be examined by looking
at the physical environment. In turn, we can understand the physical
environment by examining the components.
5 Microcosm
First it is necessary to examine the division of the Macrocosm and
the Microcosm. Let us remember that, "every man and every woman
is a star." Let us also consider that every man and every woman
is a microcosm, and in every microcosm, there is an identical
essence of the macrocosm mirrored in each other, and that there is
only one macrocosm and that macrocosm is the universe.
6 Macrocosm
The Macrocosm breathes to experience every permutation and it is
through the mirror, the Microcosm, that the body understands the
soul.
7 Perfection
Perception without division is the only attainment to that perfect
state of one, which exists nowhere else.
8 Chaos
The disordered state of unformed matter and infinite space having
existed before the ordered universe.
9 Stability
The ordering of chaos by critical calculation achieved by the
examination of the:
3
* 1 ®
3 ¬
3 * 1
Not existing until the commencement of the great
experiment.
10 Foundation
Every possibility of the Conceptualized Universe in juxtaposition
with 22.
11 Extension
The uniting of the Microcosm and the Macrocosm by addition (5 + 6).
19 Manifestation
The formula of the triad, representing the interior of the triangle,
as opposed to the three boundaries.
22 Existence
Every possibility of the Physical Universe in juxtaposition with 10.
32 Completion
Physical Universe conjoined with Conceptualized Universe (22 +
10).
Gematria List – Common
0 Circle
Containing the infinite body /
infinite boundary.
1 Point
Every finite point within the
infinite body.
2 Line
Every intersecting finite point
materializing the two halves:
3 Triangle
The method of manifestation
4 Square /
Cross
Extension of the manifestation of
the triangle.
5 Pentagram
Represents the interaction of the
elements that create the human.
6 Hexagram
Represents a state of realization
– the human becomes more than the sum of the elements.
10 Sephiroth
The ten Emanations on the Tree of Life.
12 Zodiac Signs
The twelve zodiac signs on the solar wheel.
13 Lunar Year
The thirteen lunar cycles. (13 * 6)
22 Paths / Major Arcana

Arcana (also called Trumps) numbered 0 -21, and the twenty-two
letters of the Hebrew Alphabet.
32 Tree of Life (Sephiroth
and Paths)
Completion of perfection (22 + 10).
56 Minor Arcana (Tarot)
The number of cards in the tarot deck that are not
Trumps.
72 Number
of Goetic Spirits
The seventy-two Goetic Spirits are the divisions of
the one name into the personalities.
78 Taro (Minor and Major
Arcana)
The total number of cards in a tarot deck.
93 The Magical Current
The formula of the forces establishing the Aeon of
Horus.
220 The Book of the Law (number of
verses)
The number of verses and the first item to be noted in
studying the Qabalistic formulae of The Book of the Law.
Gematria List – Tree of Life
The mystical numbers of the Sephiroth are the sums of the
numbers from one to their own numbers:
1
Kether = 1
2
Chokmah = 1 + 2 = 3
3
Binah = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
4
Chesed = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10
5
Geburah = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
6
Tiphereth = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 21
7
Netzach = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28
8
Hod = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 36
9
Yesod = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 45
10
Malkuth = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
400
Total Sephiroth
Each Sephiroth contains a tree of identical structure and
each Sephiroth exists in the four worlds: (10 * 10) * 4 = 400

Integrating the Lists: The Probationer is not
expected to fully understand the complexities of the numbers and their
attributes, such expectations are unreasonable. The intent is exposure
to the procedure and a commitment to begin comprehending the system of
Gematria.
Project: Compose
a list containing every number from every chart in the previous chapter, in
ascending numerical order. The finished product will look similar to this:

This
list contains the numbers with designations, but no explanation. The
Probationer must study the numbers, utilizing the explanations given, until
any number on the list can be sufficiently explained. This is not a method
of memorization, but a method of education.
The Probationer will encounter many new or
identical numbers with different attributions, identified as Qabalistic,
in the material included on the Required Reading List. Let the most
significant of these numbers and their designations be added to the
master list. |
