Interesting. 44 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.959 So let's see. I wanted to start things off a 45 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.599 little bit differently because where we where we ended up 46 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.120 on the on the last time, it was talking about 47 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:18.719 the magical nature of language, and Jimmy Corsetti is coming out. 48 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:23.039 He's breaking news right here. He says that let me 49 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:25.560 zoom in a little bit so you guys can see it. 50 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.840 Massive discovery rewrites human history. The oldest form of writing 51 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:36.439 has been found in a cave in Where, Germany, dating 52 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.800 back thirty eight thousand years. This is well over thirty 53 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:46.680 thousand years older than Sumerian quneiform from ancient Mesopotamia, which 54 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:54.439 was long thought to be the oldest. Look at this stone, right, 55 00:02:54.599 --> 00:03:00.759 this is right, this is quneiform, right, and so the yeah, 56 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.120 check it out. But they're talking about an older form 57 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:10.479 of writing which is similar to Qunei form, and yeah. 58 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:11.039 We could see it here. 59 00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:17.120 So this rewrites everything, right, And so what we got 60 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.800 to understand about this is that this kind of stuff 61 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.000 predating all of the rest of that stuff means that 62 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:28.400 they had influence much older than anything going on in Samaria. 63 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.599 And the Northern Crusades probably wiped out a lot of 64 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.879 this stuff because they just went around raping, robbing, and 65 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:39.599 pillaging all of these ancient quote unquote pagan sites, right, 66 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.800 so they would destroy these gods and the groves up there, 67 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:47.240 and they you know, ravaged the people. So we're sort 68 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:51.599 of dealing with a collective amnesia from the time of 69 00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:56.080 you know, ancient times because everybody thought for the longest 70 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.400 time the oldest stuff in the world was down in Samaria. 71 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:04.159 But now we got cave writing from thirty eight thousand 72 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:05.960 years ago up in Germany, like. 73 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:06.240 This is. 74 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:12.719 The Ice Age, right, this is this is unbelievable stuff. 75 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.040 And h yeah, so get out those history books let's 76 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.279 rewrite them as quickly as possible, so we don't have 77 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.560 to go through this reset over and over and over again. 78 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:26.279 You know, we've got to get that memory back. Let's 79 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:30.160 see where are we at? If you guys are following. 80 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.959 Along a brief essay upon the nature and significance of 81 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:35.079 the magical alphabet. 82 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.240 If you want to, I could start at all, since 83 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:40.399 I'm Martie, run in my mouth, sure there, all right? 84 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.399 The book seven seven seven has for its primary object 85 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.000 the construction of a magical alphabet. One of the greatest 86 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:52.160 difficulties experienced by the student, a difficulty which increases, rather 87 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:56.360 than diminishes with his advance and knowledge, is this he 88 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.240 finds it impossible to gain any clear idea of the 89 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.759 meanings of the term which he employs. Every philosopher has 90 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.399 his own meaning, even for such universally used terms as soul, 91 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:10.920 and in most cases he does not so much as 92 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.560 suspect that other writers use the term under a different connotation. 93 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.199 Even technical writers and those who take the trouble to 94 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.680 define their terms before using them, are too often at 95 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.560 variance with each other. The diversity is very great. In 96 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.439 the case of this world, this word soul, it is 97 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:35.199 sometimes used to mean atman, an impersonal principle almost synonymous 98 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.680 with the absolute itself, with the absolute itself, a word 99 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.199 which has been defined with scores of different senses. 100 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:44.040 Others use it. 101 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.480 To mean the personal individual soul, as distinguished from the 102 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:51.480 over soul or God. Others take it as an equivalent 103 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:56.759 to Nishemah, the understanding, the intelligence, the intelligible essence of 104 00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:02.079 man his aspiration. Yet others mean the nephesh, the animal soul, 105 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:07.160 the conscious, corresponding to the senses. It has even been 106 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.360 identified with the ruak, which is really the mechanism of 107 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:14.319 the mind. Apart from these major distinctions, there are literally 108 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:18.480 hundreds of minor shades of meaning. We find, therefore a 109 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:24.279 writer predictator predicating the soul, A, B, and c, which, 110 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.639 as fellow students protest vehemently that it is none of 111 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:31.079 these things, despite which the two men may be in 112 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:32.199 substantial agreement. 113 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.199 Well, can I stop you right there? So look at 114 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.639 the nature of the word soul itself. It has the 115 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:44.279 solar connotation, right, it's saying something about the sun, right 116 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.279 just in the basic etymology of it. 117 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:48.920 I mean, you're taking the word for the son and 118 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:50.480 just throwing an extra letter in there. 119 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.759 Right, same sound. And you know what's interesting is the 120 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.600 soul the sun. There's something about the sun sign that 121 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:04.480 gives us a piece of our personality. Right, So even 122 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.839 in that context, there's like an astrological significance to it. 123 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:12.519 Some sort of identity goes along with that personality which 124 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:14.560 comes from the sun at birth. 125 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:20.480 Good. 126 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:21.959 Yeah, good. 127 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.279 Let us suppose for a moment that by some miracle 128 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.839 we obtain a clear idea of the meaning of the word. 129 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:35.199 The trouble has merely begun, for there immediately arises the 130 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:37.920 question of the relations of one term to the others. 131 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.319 There have been few attempts at constructing a coherent system, 132 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:47.120 and those that are coherent are not comprehended. In view 133 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:53.439 of this euro clidion eurocliton of misunderstanding, it is clearly 134 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.639 necessary to establish a fundamental language. I saw this fact 135 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.439 in my twenties. My extended travels throughout the world had 136 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.120 brought me into contact with religious and philosophical thinkers of 137 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.920 every shade of opinion, And the more I knew, the 138 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:12.480 greater became the confusion. I understood with better approval the 139 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:16.680 outbursts of the aged fit. If I had my life 140 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.199 to live again. The first thing I would do would 141 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:22.639 be to invent an entirely new system of symbols whereby 142 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.519 to convey my ideas. As a matter of fact, certain people, 143 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:32.039 notably Raymond Lully, have attempted this great work. I discussed 144 00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:37.840 this question with Biku Anada Mattea Alan Bennett in nineteen 145 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:42.399 oh four. He professed himself completely satisfied with the Buddhist terminology. 146 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:47.039 I cannot concur with this opinion. Firstly, the actual words 147 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:54.000 are barbarously long, and possibly so for the average European. Secondly, 148 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.639 an understanding of the system depends on complete acquiescence in 149 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.919 the Buddhist doctrines. Thirdly, meaning of the terms is not, 150 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.039 as my venerable colleague maintained, as clear and comprehensive as 151 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:12.279 could be wished. There is much pedantry, much confusion, and 152 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:18.440 much disputed matter. Fourthly, the terminology is exclusively psychological. It 153 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.960 takes no account of extra Buddhistic ideas, and it bears 154 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.399 little relation to the general order of the universe. It 155 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:29.039 might be supplemented by Hindu terminology, but to do that 156 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:33.600 would immediately introduce elements of controversy. We should at once 157 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.519 be lost in endless discussions as to whether Nevana was 158 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:42.559 nirvana or not, and so on forever. The system of 159 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:47.080 the Kabbalah is superficially open to this last objection, but 160 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:51.159 its real basis is perfectly sound. We can easily discard 161 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.320 the dogmatic interpretation of the rabbis. 162 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:55.000 Of the rabbins. 163 00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.480 We can refer everything in the universe to the system 164 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.639 of pureys number, whose symbols will be intelligible to all 165 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.960 rational minds in an identical sense, and the relations between 166 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:10.519 these symbols are fixed by nature. There is no particular 167 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:14.799 point for most ordinary purposes in discussing whether forty nine 168 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:19.559 is or is not the square of seven. Such was 169 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.320 the nature of the kind of the considerations that led 170 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.919 me to adopt the tree of life as the basis 171 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:29.559 of the magical alphabet. The number ten, the ten numbers, 172 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.279 and the twenty two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, with 173 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:37.519 their traditional and rational correspondences, taking into consideration their numerical 174 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:43.399 and geometrical into relations, afford us a coherent systematic groundwork, 175 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:49.519 sufficiently rigid for our foundation and sufficiently elastic for a superstructure. 176 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:55.639 How can you dig it? Yeah, yeah, you go okay, 177 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.840 But we must not suppose that we know anything of 178 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:03.559 the tree a priori. We must not work towards any 179 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.000 other type of central truth than the nature of these 180 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.600 symbols in themselves. The object of our work must be, 181 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.720 in fact, to discover the nature and powers of each symbol. 182 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.080 We must clothe the mathematical nakedness of each prime idea 183 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:25.120 in the multicolored garment of correspondences with every department of thought. 184 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.919 That's the real work right there. So he's really drawn 185 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.480 it down to the correspondences are what's important. 186 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.399 So you can actually see what the numbers mean. 187 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.320 A first task is to consider what we are to 188 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:41.200 mean by the word number. I have dealt with this 189 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:44.879 in my own commentary to verse four, chapter one of 190 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:47.919 the Book of the Law. Every number is infinite. There 191 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:51.600 is no difference. See what is a number or a symbol? 192 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:56.399 Page one seven. The student should be should go very 193 00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:01.840 thoroughly into the question of transfinite number. Let him consult 194 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:06.120 the Introduction to mathematical Philosophy of the honorable Bertrand Russell 195 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:11.000 in a relevant but critical spirit. Bertrand Russell, also a mathematician, 196 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.159 in particular the light of the light of my note 197 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.159 on number, the whole conception of the olive zero should 198 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.279 give him a fairly clear idea of the essential paradoxes 199 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.360 of the magical interpretation of the idea of number, and 200 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:34.440 especially the equation zero equals too, which I have devised 201 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:40.320 to explain the universe and to harmonize with the antinomies 202 00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:45.279 which it presents at every turn. Our present state of 203 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:49.320 understanding is far from perfect. It is evidently impossible to 204 00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:55.639 obtain a clear notion of each of the primes or 205 00:12:55.720 --> 00:13:00.559 primes if only because of their number is olive zero zero. 206 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:04.080 The numbers zero to ten, as forming the basis of 207 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:09.200 the decimal system, may be considered a microcosm of olive zero, 208 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:14.159 for they are endless tens, representing the return to unity 209 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:18.399 by the reintroduction of zero to continue the series in 210 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:23.799 a matter progressively complex, each term representing not only itself 211 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.559 in its relationship, in its relation to the neighbors, but 212 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:32.159 the combination of two or more numbers of the first 213 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:36.320 decad That is, until we reach the numbers whose factors 214 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:41.279 are all except in unity greater than ten, such as one, four, three, 215 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:47.559 eleven times thirteen equals eleven times thirteen. But this is 216 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:52.120 necessary to consider such numbers as all together beyond the 217 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:57.399 first decad is only apparent, each prime being itself in 218 00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:01.919 elaboration in some senses, or another of one or more 219 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:06.960 of the original zero to ten series. This at least 220 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.840 may be regarded as conventionally true for immediate purpose of study. 221 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:15.039 This is why in numerology they always do the condensation 222 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:20.519 back to one through ten. A number such as three 223 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:25.879 two nine nine times three three oh seven times three 224 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.039 three one nine may be regarded as a distant and 225 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:34.919 not very important group of fixed stars. Thus thirteen is 226 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:41.000 a middle modulus, and one one one the great modulus 227 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:47.559 modulus of unity. That is, the multiples of thirteen and 228 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:51.879 one one one explain the coefficients of their scales in 229 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.960 terms of a much more specialized idea. 230 00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:56.039 Eg. 231 00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.960 Twenty six equals two times thirteen represent it's the diad 232 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:07.519 in a more specially concocted, connotated sense than two does eight. 233 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.240 Eight describes the function of eight in terms of the 234 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.159 full meaning of one one one, which is itself an 235 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.840 elaborate account of the nature of unity, including for instance, 236 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:25.200 the dogmatic mystery of the equation three equals one. 237 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:27.480 Are you following that. 238 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:31.120 He's going by binary. 239 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.320 Yeah, I was listening. We got stuck with the eight 240 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.159 eight eight the one, because I do that find that 241 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:40.679 interesting with the how he says the eighty eight describes 242 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:42.919 the function of eight in terms of the full meaning 243 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.080 one eleven. I've seen eight eight eight a bunch of times, 244 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.879 and I did think kabalistically it like it's telling a 245 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:51.120 full story instead of just part of one. 246 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:55.200 So is that the meaning of eight eight eight to 247 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:57.279 you is like telling the full story? 248 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:01.799 Well, it's kind of like the whole Like I think, 249 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.200 kind of like the Magician, how you know, the eight 250 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:08.440 does go you know, infinity. I think that's like kind 251 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.720 of like might even show like the hero's journey, because 252 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.000 like you're gonna return back where you started kind of 253 00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:20.000 in a sense. So yeah, it's just because I, again 254 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:21.639 with seven seven, said just looking. 255 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.080 At doubles and multiples of numbers. 256 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:24.759 Just for some reason, I felt that eighty eight eight 257 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:28.440 was more of a I guess kind of how he's saying, 258 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:31.679 and more of a defines something better than the other 259 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:33.039 eight than eighty eight, you. 260 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.039 Know what I'm saying. Right, It's hard to explain how 261 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.559 I even thought that. It's just something that came to mind. 262 00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:40.919 Honestly, Well, this is what he said in the three 263 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.279 equals one, So you know, the eight eight eight would 264 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.399 be the completion because three equals the one in unity. 265 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:50.279 He's going back to the trinity idea, right, so the 266 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.039 three equals one. I mean again, this is a much 267 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:57.440 more inclusive and expansive definition of the trinity in terms 268 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:01.120 of mathematics than what you get with you know, Tertullian 269 00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.559 or whatever. But what they're basically saying is that the 270 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:10.039 divine unity comes from the three or the most structurally sound, 271 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:17.720 least least I guess, wobbly of the numbers itself. So 272 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:23.880 the the you know, the triangle would be the strongest shape, right, 273 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:28.720 that would be the biggest the least numbers to create 274 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:35.920 the most unity, I guess right. By repercussion again, each 275 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:40.720 larger correlative of any number of zero to ten expresses 276 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:44.960 an extended idea of that number, which must immediately be 277 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:50.799 included in the fundamental conception thereof. For instance, having discovered 278 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:54.359 that one twenty can be divided by five, we must 279 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:58.039 henceforth think of five as the root of those ideas 280 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:01.160 which we find in one twenty. As well as using 281 00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:04.400 our previous ideas of five as the key to our 282 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:10.519 investigation of one twenty. On the surface, it would appear 283 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:14.200 that this mode of working could only lead to baffling 284 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:20.319 contradictions and inextricable confusion. But to the mind naturally lucid 285 00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:27.240 and well trained to discrimination of this misfortunate of this 286 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:30.559 misfortune does not occur for the meeting of the primes 287 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:35.319 eleven to ninety seven see page twenty five. 288 00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:41.079 Do you want me to go? Give your work? Sure? 289 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.079 On the contrary, practice which makes perfect enables one to 290 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:51.079 grasp intelligently, in class coherently a far vester conjuries of 291 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:55.480 facts than could possibly be assimilated by the most laborious 292 00:18:55.480 --> 00:19:00.680 feats of memorizing. Herbert Spencer has well explained this psychology 293 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:05.880 of apprehension. The excellence of any mind considered merely as 294 00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:09.799 a storehouse of information may be gauged by its faculty 295 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:16.039 of representing any required facts to itself by systematic classification 296 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:21.599 into groups and subgroups. This presence, this present attempt at 297 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:26.279 a magical alphabet, is in fact a projection both intensive 298 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:31.359 and extensive, of this system to affinity. On the one hand, 299 00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:37.000 all possible ideas are referred by progressive integrations to the 300 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:42.319 pure numbers zero to ten, and thence to two, one 301 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:46.759 and zero. On the other the connotations of zero, one 302 00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:51.640 and two are extended by progressive definitions to include every 303 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:56.519 conceivable idea on every plane of the universe. We are 304 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.279 now in a position to consider the practical application of 305 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:04.400 these ideas as regards the as regards the numbers zero 306 00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.440 to ten of the key scale, each one is a 307 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:12.519 fundamental idea of a positive entity. Its nature is defined 308 00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:16.480 by the correspondences assigned to it in the various columns. 309 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.200 Thus we may say that God, Hanumann, the. 310 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:26.720 Jackal, the opal storax, truthfulness, and so on, or all 311 00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:32.720 qualities inherent in the idea called eight. With regards to 312 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:36.839 the numbers eleven to thirty two of the key scale, they. 313 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:39.680 Are not numbers at all in our senses of the word. 314 00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:43.400 They have been arbitrarily assigned to the twenty two parts 315 00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:48.599 by the compiler of the sepher Jetsa. There is not 316 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.960 even any kind of harmony. Nothing could be much further 317 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.880 from the idea of twenty nine than the sign of pisces. 318 00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:58.759 The basic idea had better be considered the letter of 319 00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:02.640 the Hebrew alphabet, and the correspondence of each with fairly 320 00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.960 comprehensive definitions, such as the taro trumps is very close 321 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.799 and necessary. It will be noticed that certain alphabets, especially 322 00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:16.200 the coptic, have more than twenty two letters. These additional 323 00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:18.599 symbols fill up the fill up the tree of life 324 00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:23.000 when attributed to the sephiroth. The numerical value of the 325 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:27.839 letters does, however, represent a real and important relation. But 326 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.359 these numbers are not quite the same as the original 327 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:36.160 sepharotic numbers. For instance, although Beth equals two equals mercury, 328 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:40.640 and mercury is part of the idea of Chokma equals two, 329 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:44.640 the one two is not identical with the other. For 330 00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.119 mercury in itself is not a sepherer. It is not 331 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:52.759 a positive emanation in necessary sequence in this scale. Zero 332 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.519 two ten for Beth is the path which joins Catherine, 333 00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:02.319 Banah one and three. Zion equal seven is the path 334 00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:06.519 joining Binah three and Tephareth six. That is, they are 335 00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:10.720 not numbers in themselves, but expressions of relations between numbers 336 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:14.240 according to a predetermined geometrical pattern. 337 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:19.640 See that's the important part. So what he's saying right here, Yeah, 338 00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:24.519 it's all collapsed into the tree itself. Right, The zero 339 00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:29.279 through ten in the tree is collapsing all numbers into itself. 340 00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.599 So he's saying that all of these are, you know, 341 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:36.799 either positive or negative attributions of those same spheres, but 342 00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:39.920 they're not the spheres in themselves. That's what I'm getting 343 00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:40.200 from it. 344 00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:41.680 Yeah. 345 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.200 Another class of number is an of immense importance. It 346 00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:48.079 is the series usually expressed in Roman numerals, which is 347 00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:51.599 printed on the tarot trumps here were two exceptions. The 348 00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:54.119 number is invariably one less than that of the letters 349 00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:56.920 of the alphabet, where they are numbered according to their 350 00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:01.640 natural order, from one to twenty two. Thus, Gammel the 351 00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:05.920 third letter pertains to trump two mem the thirteenth letter 352 00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:10.640 two number twelve. These numbers are very nearly of the 353 00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:13.759 same orderive idea as those of the numerical value of 354 00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:17.119 the letters. But they represent but they represent rather the 355 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.960 active magical energy of the number than its essential being 356 00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:26.200 the return to the pure sepharoth. The numbers zero, one, two, three, five, 357 00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.640 and seven are primes. The other combinations of these primes. 358 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:35.920 That's right here we have already here, we have already 359 00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:39.559 the principle of the equilibrium between the simple and the complex. 360 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:43.079 At the same time, there there is an inherent virtue 361 00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:46.599 in these compound numbers as such, which makes it improper 362 00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:50.599 to think of them as merely combinations from their mathematical elements. 363 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:55.880 Six is an idea in itself, a ding as sich, 364 00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.759 a ding as sich. The fact that six equals two 365 00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:03.920 times three is only one of its properties. Similar remarks 366 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.240 apply to numbers above ten, But here the importance of 367 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:09.839 the of the primes, as compared to that of the 368 00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:14.279 compound numbers, is much greater. Few compound numbers appear, in 369 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:17.759 the present state of our knowledge in themselves as distinguished 370 00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:21.920 from the value of their mathematical elements. We may now, however, 371 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:31.440 in since we may, we may, however instance ninety three, one, eleven, one, two, ten, 372 00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:34.880 four eighteen, and six hundred and sixty six. 373 00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:39.359 I gotta stop you there. So the way they compiled 374 00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:42.079 this book is completely wrong. This should have been the 375 00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:45.920 first chapter, because this is elaborating on a lot of 376 00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:50.039 the stuff that he was talking about earlier that didn't 377 00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:54.079 make any sense without it. 378 00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:56.319 Especially I remember the four eighteen and the sixty sixty 379 00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:58.839 six right exactly. 380 00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.359 But every prime is the expression of a quite definite 381 00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:08.400 idea for instance, nineteen is the general feminine glyph. Thirty 382 00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:12.240 one the highest feminine trinity, a great modulus of zero. 383 00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:16.599 Forty one is the aspect of the feminine as a 384 00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:18.240 vampire force who. 385 00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:23.960 Forty seven as dynamic and spasmodic, because it would be trump. 386 00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:26.559 Fifty three is heterogeneous. 387 00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.759 I mean, that's perfect right there, Like this is we 388 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:32.000 shouldn't gloss this over. 389 00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:35.640 Yeah, fifteen is where we're at. Yeah, that's where we're at. 390 00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:41.079 Fifty nine is claiming its completement, and so on. Each 391 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.720 prime number retains its peculiar significance in multiples. In its multiples. 392 00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:47.279 Thus, the number. 393 00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:50.079 Twenty three, a glyph of life, exhibits the life of 394 00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:54.359 the diad in forty six, and so on. The significance 395 00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:56.680 of the prime has been carefully worked out with fair 396 00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:01.359 accuracy in each case up to ninety seven. Above one hundred, 397 00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:05.759 only a few primes have been thoroughly investigated. This is because, 398 00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:08.519 by our present methods, such numbers can only be studied 399 00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:11.519 through their multiples. That is to say, if we wish 400 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.680 to determine the nature of the number seventeen, we shall 401 00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:18.200
