Hi Jeff, So glad that you are back. What you say sounds good to me! I think one way to understand Saturn is to see her/him pictured androgynously in Key 21. ...
Not to beat this whole Rhea/Kronos thing to death, but I ran across something else in my reading of Chapter 9 this week: "We must remember, however, that the...
I thought that this was very nicely expressed, and it kind of caused something to 'click' when I read it last week: "In the Supernal Triangle we see the...
I didn't understand this paragraph at all my first time through, and giving the matter some thought only made things a little clearer. Do I understand Fortune...
Dear Frater ESC -- ... (Chokmah is on the masculine pillar.) Chesed is feminine in relation to it because Chesed is feminine to Binah, and Binah is feminine...
I'm struck by the fact that avarice is the vice of both Binah and Malkuth.... Steph ********************************************* Welcome to my world at ...
I was fascinated to find Fortune discussing that which is beyond the Abyss as unknown, but not unknowable. She says "...Kether, the First Manifest, represents...
LOL, this is a great quote isn't it? The first set of "duality" make the possibility for self-projection into "form" which is then performed by this triad...
Hi Frater ESC. It helps to think of the first triad as being a triad that "makes the waters of consciousness". When you think of water, think of the first...
Cool, steph, What I hear you saying is that everything is in relationship to something else. soror achad ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? ...
Soror Achad - ... Well, there's that, too, of course. That's part of it. But it's more - it's that everything proceeds from the same source, and goes back to...
Hi steph, Yes, I see now where you are making your point. Thank you for clarifying that. Sounds pretty much like a complete redrawing into itself. Nothing...
Personally I find her theory of the alturnating polarity a little too simplistic and performs unnecessary surgery to the structure of the tree. It later...
I appreciate all of the feedback on this subject. There have been some really helpful analogies posted. I've been contemplating this idea a lot lately...
I've deleted two recent posts to this group. One was a blatant spam, posted by somebody who only joined the group a few minutes earlier. That individual has...
Peter, could you please elaborate a little bit the very last idea you were trying to get across. It isn't patently obvious to me, and I'd like to hear that...
This reminds me ... Dear Achad and all, I have often wondered if this is why we depict a perfect circle as 360 degrees but the solar year is 365, thus allowing...
... Peter, hullo! I find this whole left pillar to be involutive in nature, separative - the Divine urge to make the One into the Many - Saturn (Binah)...
OK will have another go. The danger of looking at the spheres in isolation creates a little bit of confusion and a tendence to see things in black and white....

Peter, thank you for your explanation, and yes, I got something of value out of it. I am appreciating what it is like to stretch into your viewpoint and see...
Peter, You wrote awhile ago the following: "Like I say Thelema is a religion and DF was a Christian (very much so in the last stages of her life)." Could you...
I cant remember if Knight's book says it or not. She seemed to flip at various points to focus on Christainity. I looked at the stuff she was channelling at...

john and Peter, Peace is in our Midst! Thanks for the replies. It seems then that DF was still a "gnostic" styled Christian later in life that saw Jesus as a...
Not sure what your sources are for a gnostic christian either... She held the theosophist view that there are savours in every age but that is hardly makes...
