Little thought goes into the possibility that the up and downswings of feelings can be controlled by the conscious self. If this were not so then books such as the Middle Pillar and the Mystical Qabalah would never have been written. The tradition has many parts and is not limited to one space and time. It is well worth understanding what is not clear by studying the tree. Alvin Boyd Kuhn showed there is a great psychological tradition in these works. The reader is rewarded by the time wisely invested. To free your mind from slavery is better than to be trapped inside your heart doomed to search for the treasure that lies only upon your very own doorstep. You can liberate yourself far easier than chasing after falsehoods. The information you are seeking can only be obtained by personal endeavors. Freedom of the mind can only come by the efforts of the one. This extends throughout many cultures. There will not be a protos subject until all of the archaelogic record is known. Do not assume the record is complete. Similar records from many diverse worlds can also point to a different hypothesis. Instead of a common book these texts are all talking about a common subject. What has been learned so far of history is only a tiny fraction. The reason why the literal interpretation holds sway in our mind is a result of the reluctance to unseal knowledge by using the tools we all posess. The road that leads to the Highway of the Stars is through the use of this vital organ. The word for this region in the head is Mazzaroth. The Hebrew word is מַזָּרוֹת. In Greek it is Μαζουρωθ, Mazourōth. This word means a garland of crowns. These crowns contain many nerve fibers. When study is performed passively the mind is not being used to reach understanding. The information is being filed away to work on. It is always important to go back and continue the study. The sleep walk move is to go on to another subject that is of interest. During a lecture or presentation an image may perhaps be recognized. A word in a conversation does not result in the question "what does that mean?" The age of inquisitiveness passes into adult hood. The Magic of acquiring the ability to ask. What does this mean? and How do you know that? The creation of questions is just one of the tools the hermetic world employs to create Art. By looking at a work of art and determine how the process was achieved is like in some respects what happens when stage magicians gather around to watch a performance. In science the ability to understand how an event may have occurred is named the mechanism. It is the application of the mind to understand what was not observed. The hidden. This is what was underneath the handkerchief. The hand closed over the coin and the coin disappeared. The mental exercise of solving is a spiritual mediation. The meaning of spiritual is to use your mind to learn and not be driven by your emotions. The power from anger can be used to create masterpieces and successful outcomes envisioned by your mind. The imagination along with will, and intuition must be added to intellect with a heavy amount of organization. Going through these mediations causes the operator to unseal the wisdom described in the path and tradition they are following. The reason why some pyramids are designed to have four balanced sides has a lot to do with using a mechanism that resides in our brain. When looking at many pyramid designs closely, something appears as a result of observation. This is called power. Not every pyramid design dedicates an equal amount of masonry to each side. Why is this? The pyramid designs are for different applications. There is no real enigma and wonder to the pyramid for a design provided by artists conveys the very knowledge about these marvels in a convenient easy to carry form. An important point the viewer must begin to realize is just how similar this image is to the balanced pyramid design seen in various places. The contents inside these pyramids are made to reflect the information presented in this diagram. They contain artwork created to represent the different personality types, the elements, and other systems affected by emotions. This includes art to represent the different organs and circulatory systems. The art can take on a wide range of forms. These include statues, painting, jewelry, and so on. The desire to steal from a temple means to rob representations of the body organs and forces that interact with the body. The role of these objects are for the practitioners personal use only. They are used in achieving mental balance or perform operations on their personality by simply viewing the Art. These treasures from different times and vast places simply are used by the mind in focusing a force into a form. This is why devotional images are made. In conjunction with the Art the operator performs mediative procedures to change the hours of their mental state. This requires efforts. To go into a room without preparation or in a heighten state of anger will not result in any desired change. This is why the operator is cautioned by the Saints to be rooted in Love. That root that is mentioned is the spinal chord. The very part of the nervous system susceptible to storms and violent upswings. Only be relaxed states can one enter the Highway to the Stars which is in the head. The familiar chemical reactivity diamonds came from this mental tool. Little understanding as to how this design came into being. The motivation was to use a design which the mind can recognize. The borrowing of hermetic concepts into other disciplines is not unusual. This application is a coarser form of earth being applied by the mind to solve a problem. That is the ability to identify by a visual glance complex information. This is the hermetic principle that all is from mind. Such an approach of understanding how emotions and thoughts evolve by an artistic design is using your head. In all traditions the ability to elicit emotion comes from what are called winds. What are these winds? They are the nerves that carry electric signals to the cerebral cortex. Once the winds bring this information to the cortex a change in climate occurs. This can be a pleasant warm breeze. A hot desert sun, or a violent storm depending on how the contents of the wind was perceived. These effects can be experienced in the atmosphere (the neck), the earth (lower spinal chord), or the sea (the stomach nerves). The winds often are given a direction of North, South, East, and West. These directions are not compass directions. They refer to the references in the physical body. In your tradition it is important to note what the directional frame of reference is. In the text called Ezekiel 1:4-28 the mention of a whirlwind came from the North has a physiological meaning. In addition to winds there are gates and guardians. The necessity of the guardians is of the upmost importance. The nervous system is designed to be sensitive. Therefore any entity can affect a physical body. People may feel agitated on a cloudy day. People may feel elated on a clear sunny day. A concert can provoke euphoria. These are external influences. A smile on a face can make a viewer feel good inside. A person crying can make us feel sad and hurt. This is the field of neuroendrocrinology. A field of study with a name but not much on how to proceed with a mechanism. The clue of course is the pyramids. Traditions have many different designs for the Guardian spirits. The roles however are identical. How is this known? Let us consider the most popular pastime. Looking into the sky. The concept of the seasons as due to unequal heating and cooling of the earth also applies to the physical body. The spinal chord from the shoulders to the tail bone is the earth and is susceptible to storms from heaven and from outside the body. The importance of the guardian intelligences can be understood as they moderate, lessen and even prevent upheavals before they occur. It is for this reason why magic rituals employ these guardians in the opening and closing rituals. Any religious ritual has these guardians. They may not be obvious but if you look for them in an altar design you will find them. You might say the pyramid is present in any altar construction. The archangel guardians are of light. This is a light that illuminates thought. The word is Greek and is written: αρχάγγελος. The word refers to the seven primordial creative forces. These are all created from a common source. None-the-less we are unable to draw an image of a spiritual light having a physical body. Art, however; does provide information about these forces and how they govern the emotions presented in the pyramid diagram. Two of the archangels named Michael and Uriel (some write this name as Auriel) are depicted as holding a balance in sculptures. This is a set of scales. The balances placed with the archangels Michael and Uriel indicate what these forces provide. The purpose is to temper. The personality is modified by the addition of certain elements. By adding fire a Sanguine individual easy to frequently change their mind would be come determined and fixed in their resolve. The addition of water makes a choleric strong willed individual become complacent and relaxed. To stay in a relaxed state too long results in procrastination and laziness. The addition of earth make the Phlegmatic studious and desires to pay close addition to detail. The focused straight and narrow person cannot avoid hardship if all their energy is placed on one project all day and all week. They must learn to enjoy themselves. The solution is to add air. This propels the Melancholic person into a Sanguine personality. Passion reins only until water is added to produce the easy come and relaxed Phlegmatic personality. Which element to add and how much is the role of the guardians. If you work with them in your tradition you will meet your objectives and encounter smooth sailing. In Egypt the name for the god who holds the balance on the zodiacal horizon line is Makhu. This balancing in the heaven also occurs in the heaven known as the head. Four archangels are stationed in positions corresponding to the four seasons. The Makuh-El or Michael with the "el" emphasized in the pronunciation is referred to as the Lord of the Balance. Inside the physical body there are organs involved in this balancing process. These can be found in the Mazzaroth region. Esotericists introduced knowledge of the divine nature in games. This would allow those on the journey to awaken and come to identify what surrounds them. The beginning to realize the divinity residing in you is a part of the unfolding stages in growth. The importance of these clues is illustrated in the playing cards. The Clubs-represents the spiritual power of the head. The Hearts leads to the Holy of Holies. The Diamonds show you how to balance emotions. The entrance to the abdominal mind is through this suit. The Spades teach you how to consciously purify the spinal fluid in the Sacrum region. This is where the organs of regeneration happen. The four suits are based on the construction of the 4 parts of the mind and reflect the four parts of the body that are described in the Apocalypse of 'Ioánnou. In Greek the letters are Ιω-α-ν-νου. Each of the letters refers to one of seven nerve clusters along the spinal chord. Therefore knowing the letters and knowing what part of the body they refer to is important. Heaven, Sky, Sea, and Earth are the four domains. Chess was presented as a entry to reach the intellect and the Ego. The designs and colors of the pieces and the board are a way to learn about the dual currents that travel along your spinal chord. The colors of the pieces refer to the esoteric parts of the body and point to where the Holy Grail is located. The chess game is integrated into the novel Parzival by Wolfram von Eschenback. Tarot was introduced as a fortune telling game. The system is the textbook without a spine. The information of all hermetic science can be learned by examination and meditation. No further text is required for consultation. The secrets are obtain by using your gift. The Highway to the Stars. Your mind will extract this knowledge for you. When asked where the Tarot originated the Esotericists respond Egypt. This must be understood. The answer to the origin of the Tarot means that the physical body constructed this work of ingenious art. Alchemists insist that the Tarot was devised in Fez, the western city near the cerebellum. The location of this place cannot be found inside a hat. Each question you ask will lead you to the truth. The key is to continue asking questions and avoid hearsay. Learn the true meaning of a word. The city known as Fez is the intellectual center of the mind. The Highway to the Stars leads to this very place. If you want to meet those who constructed the Tarot prepare your Camel and cross the abyss. The reason why the pyramid and the diamond has four sides is because each side is a door that leads to an entity called a body. The force that a body exerts onto another body is given the name Hot, Dry, Wet, and Cold. These are extreme poles that lead from one one body to another. One type of movement involves movement along a square. Imagine your eye follows the trace of a square. As your eye moves from Hot (on the top left) to Dry (on top right) you will have traversed the Choleric condition. Continue the circuit of the square. Move your eye from Dry to Cold. This results in moving through Melancholic condition. The state of Melancholy converts into a phlegmatic condition by following with your eye the line between the words Cold and Wet. In order to convert a surface that is Wet heat is added the surface becomes Hot. The concepts of a surface's condition is a way for the mind to learn how emotions can be changed by a balancing mechanism. The reader can utilize one part of the diagram by considering just the surface of the square, and come to realize how a word Dry and Hot can be imagined to cause a surface to change. Leads to a conscious effort to change your feeling. These four surfaces offer a feel for the hard concept of four of your bodies. The physical body the one your may perhaps recognize as being composed of triangle with three vertices. These are called Earth, Dry, and Cold. Anywhere inside the triangle or along the edges deals with the forces and hence emotions and treasures of the physical body. The Ego is the place of will. The impulse to make a dream happen can be drawn as a triangle composed of three vertices. They are Fire, Dry, and Hot. The Astral Body is where images and dreams appear. The fluctuation and changeability of an individual can be constructed from a triangle. This has there vertices labeled as Air, Wet, and Hot. The source of your vitality is the Etheric Body. This is also called the Vital Body. Here the concept of relaxation and joy comes into play. This body is associated with the growth and regulation of the physiological systems and organs. The triangle used to describe the etheric body has the vertices labeled as Water, Wet, and Cold. Take time to become familiar with the names. The use of the diagram and the names are used for conscious control by the mechanism you possess in your mind. If you are having trouble controlling your temper and are angry. That means your blood is dominated by the Ego body. Think of the word Cold. By going Hot to Cold you can suddenly calm down. Use of a pleasant image brings this change immediately. A image created from your thoughts allows you to work with this pyramid structure. The center of the square in the diagram is where the abyss is located. This region has the mathematical property known as inversion. A concave lens can produce an inverted image. The idea of an inverted image can be understood by taking a spoon that can hold a liquid or solid. Examine the front of the spoon. Your reflection is inverted. The spoon in your hand operates just as the abyss in the square does. To make the image appear with polarity reversed take the spoon in your hand and examine the backside of the spoon. Although you may consider this to be a digression into the weather and seasons I can assure you that the control of the emotions within you lies in this diagram. The occurrence of weather requires conditions in heaven. These events bring forth bounty, coldness, floods, and heat waves. The heaven is the head where the cerebrum is present. The earth is the spinal nervous system from the shoulders down to the the tail bone. The sky is the nerves of the neck and throat. In the Egyptian Kemi tradition the position of the summer and winter solstices are marked by the deities of Anpu (in Greek it is pronounced Anubis) andAu-pat. Because Anpu is the summer solistice this means that Anpu is the opener of the roads of the north. This connects the constellations at the vernal equinox with the constellations at the summer solstice. In the case of Au-pat this position is the opener of the roads of the south. This is the conduit between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice. There are two points concerning this scheme that needs to be presented. First this Egyptian pair of (Anpu/Aubus and Au-pat) have been placed onto key 18 of the Thoth tarot deck. This deck was devised by Aleister Crowley and Lady Frieda Harris. The Thoth deck was not made into wide distribution until after the 1980s even despite the official release of March 21, 1944. That is why the deck was not as well known as the other decks. Art has a profound effect on us. By looking at key 18 called The Moon it has the effect of changing emotion. This can be from a wild nature to that of a calm effect. The painting can be used to induce sleep if trouble exists in obtaining a good night of rest. Why is this so? What information is contained in the art that brings on this effect. The use of solstice markers on the tarot painting has the effect of longest day and longest night to our own personalities. The melancholic attributes of intensity and attention to detail is opposed to the sanguine optimistic feelings. Yet in the region of autumn these are both balanced by mixing in a wise amount of Phlegmatic calmness devoid of strong emotions. The second point is the origin of the archangel named Michael. It actually is derived from an Egyptian word. The autumn equinox was regarded as a balancing point. This was represented by a pair of scales which Tum was in charge of. When the Sun entered the six lower zodiacal signs this point was marked by Tum. The lower six are Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. The upper six signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo. The effect of balancing is striking on personality. This is achieved by mixing the proper amount of humors. The humors are indicated in the central square. An Autumn day is pleasant compared to the harshness of a hot summer day, and a cold, wintry day. The autumn is characterized by being just right. The Egyptian word for scales is Makhu. The one who has dominion over or is the Lord is called Makhu-El. This means lord of the scales. The responsibility of Tum still exists in English as the seasonal word Autumn. This also is derived from an Egyptian word. The hieroglyph for the archangel Michael is described as grasping a pair of scales. As your emotions change indicate what season and holiday you are experiencing. Remember only you have the ability to control yourself. By the use of images you can control which position you are on the diamond. The use of seasonal holidays celebrated by traditions was not designed for the physical world. These were intended for the participants to associate the holiday with what occurs in their own mind. The effects of the climates in these seasons are experienced within. A suddenly feeling of a chill in the physical body can occur by listening to music. The effect of an emotion can be felt as a cold chill, a shiver and a sense of an increased temperature. That means the diagram can also be used to change a sensation. If art can evoke changes in emotion that means the mind can use the art to manage the emotion. The mind can in turn chance the temperature. Clues to other ways this geometric figure is employed is found in the Egyptian records. The guardian for the Water triangle is Anibus. The duties of this deity is the regulation of the glands. You have thought centers in this glands. Emotion, desire, and formal thinking occur here. Anibus opens the roads that lead to the North. This means different amounts water, earth, and air can take you into the region of water, earth, and fire. Please examine the diagram. The triangle associated with water and earth are connected. Therefore the temperaments of the Phlegmatic and Melancholic states share a common entry and departure route. The tarot keys 15 and 20 show this route by the color of the borders. Key 15 has a red-orange border and key 20 has a violet border. Ap-uat is the deity responsible for nerves of the physical body. The inversion center in the square transforms Anibus the opener of the North roads into the inverted image. That means Anibus inverted is Ap-uat. The North road inverted is the South road. The triangles of water and earth when inverted become the triangles of fire and air. All elements can be transformed into another element by this inversion. That means an overacted ego can be tamed by inverting into a relaxed state. The triangle fire becomes water. To achieve motivation the triangle of water becomes fire. The border color on the tarot keys 6 and 20 are orange and blue respectively. That means of course the temperaments of Sanguine and Choleric are connected by the South road. The hermetic principle of polarity requires that the Phlegmatic and Melancholic states are two extremes of the same arm. The Sanguine and Choleric states are two extremes of another arm. Together all 4 states form a cross. To stay balanced it is good to focus at the center of the cross. If the images on the Tarot keys were examined closely and not superficially there will be found a lot of information. This can assist the operator for knowledge is power. By the use of a compass, ruler, divider, and an anatomy text some of the secrets in the Tarot can be revealed. Much has not been explored. There is a lot of information about glands and nerves displayed in the art work and the fabric of the clothing which drape the figures. Pay particular attention to the pyramids, mountains, and lakes in the background. Every tree in a Tarot key relates to parts of the nervous system. A useful exercise is to examine how the images appear reflected in a mirror. Some information has been designed in the art to be revealed in a mirror. Notice how the images on the Waite Tarot conform with the alchemy diamond of our emotional natures. Key 6 entitled The Lovers has a tree on the right background with leaves of flames. This agrees with the diamond point of Fire. The central figure is the archangel Raphael. Key 15 entitled The Devil shows a black background and a chimera holding a torch to see in the darkness. This corresponds to the diamond point of Earth. The archangel Uriel means in English "God is my Light." This is why the painting has the symbol of light from fire. The hieroglyph of the archangel Uriel is identified as bearing a torch. The tarot key 14 entitled Temperance shows a central figure adding amounts of water and fire to maintain a balance. This is symbolic of autumn. The pool of water agrees with the diamond point of water. The central figure is archangel Michael (The lord of the balance). Key 20 entitled judgement shows a horn being blown by a central figure. The horn requires air to be pushed through. This agrees with the diamond point of air. The central figure holding the horn is archangel Gabriel. Another hieroglyph for this archangel is the horn of plenty. The cornucopia. The role of the child as being beside the cornucopia implies a harvest of another nature. when the sun enters the lower six zodiacal constellations changes occur. In the occult we say the earth is awake in the winter season and sleeps during the summer season. Another form of Gabriel. Holding the horn. The messenger bringing good tidings of a birth. This is why the horn contains fruits. The concept of six months is important to understand. We have a total of 12 constellations in the zodiac. The Tarot system can be used to control the temperaments. This is one of the secrets of the Tarot yet to be revealed. The keys 6, 14, 15, and 20 are used to assume the four points of the diamond called Air, Fire, Earth, and Water. Each element has a part to play in mental constructions. This is why the temperaments exist and can be displayed in us. Air provides intellect, dreams, and imagination are possible. Too much air leads to nothing accomplished with earth. The element of Fire is will. This provides determination. Exploitation of Fire leads to overbearing. The desire to always get your way can result in damage to the physical body. The least understood element is Earth. Without any Earth nothing can be made. This element provides organization and the setting of priorities. Planning without execution of those plans means the element Earth is needed. The extreme of only working with Earth is sadness. If the physical body dominates no assistance from the other bodies can be obtained. Walls form suddenly and easily that can be removed when all the elements are properly employed. The need for the element of water gives us intuition. The use of feeling can overcome many difficulties. Too much water and no other element gives us inertia to move from our current position. The names written upon the keys also have a meaning for their use. The name means that these images are used to open locks to provide entry. Each image on these keys give insight as to how the element can be used to cross the abyss to reach the other side. The Key with the words Temperance means to Temper. The central figure holds and water. These elements are used to serve as a balance. The key with the words The Devil has a figure providing light from a fire and Air in the form of breath. The use of Air and Fire can be employed to balance Earth. By understanding the tarot images the dynamic moving functioning can be realized. The static drawing of a square inscribed in a diamond does not show his the surfaces can move. The next level beyond the third dimension is to show movement. The key with the word Judgement shows a 4 four dimensional sphere drawn as a cloud. The assignment of archangel names can be obtained from Enoch XX chapter 20. The book called Enoch describes different parts of the body and structures of the mind. The Greek Mysteries locate Tartarus in the the body. The myth of Sisyphus is the operation of breathing. When Sisyphus pushes the rock up a mountain. Once the maximum height is reached the rock returns to its lowest point. This is the pulmonary system. The Greek myths contain a wealth of knowledge about glands, systems, organs as well as the different functions of the mind. 1. And these are the names of the holy angels who watch. 2. Uriel, one of the holy angels, who is over the world and over Tartarus. 3. Raphael, one of the holy angels, who is over the spirits of men. 4. Raguel, one of the holy angels who takes vengeance on the world of the luminaries. 5. Michael, one of the holy angels, to wit, he that is set over the best part of mankind and over chaos. 6. Saraqâêl, one of the holy angels, who is set over the spirits, who sin in the spirit. 7. Gabriel, one of the holy angels, who is over Paradise and the serpents and the Cherubim. 8. Remiel, one of the holy angels, whom God set over those who rise. Gabriel watches over the glands and the spinal currents that can excite these glands. The serpents are these currents. Each serpents has the names Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. Gabriel is in charge of the organs in the Moon sphere. This is Paradise. The nervous system interfaces with glands in this region. In the Greek Mysteries Diana is the guardian. The reason why some traditions assign a guardian name in a different location is due to the mirrors present in the diamond diagram. The astral body is associated by the air triangle. The whims and needs from the astral body are introduced into the nervous system through a mirror. Our mind shifts suddenly through this mirror and we observe our own thoughts reversed. As a consequence in the case of the archangel names. You will encounter the positions of Raphael and Uriel interchanged. Another type of transformation observed is the inversion of Raphael with Michael. Gabriel position is not observed to interchange with other archangel names. The transformations of reflection and inversion also explain the observation of getting words mixed up and interchanging numbers. These events always occur with sharp abrupt changes in breathing. Therefore a pyramid with four equal sides is used to balance the four temperaments and to achieve your goals for whatever the occasion demands. When you enter the stages where the physical body sleeps. The diagram can answer questions. The 4 bodies are associated with four elements. The lighter elements escape the atmosphere. The heavier elements remain. Earth and Water have an affinity. Thus the physical and etheric body stay where select to rest. The elements Fire and Air prefer to visit their origin. The Ego and Astral bodies journey through the gate of the current astrological sign. When you awaken the lighter elements return bringing with them the archetypal experiences associated with that sign. All the constellations go into making the mind and body.
