Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 93 "Love in Kabbalah". According to Torah, man and woman were one being at first, one Adam (Genesis 2.21), then only Adam was divided into two halves, man and woman. That too feminine part is his essence, "essence of my essence" as man told to G-d (2.23). Gematria of name Adam is 45, equal to full gematria of the Holy Name YHVH. Thus Adam – whole one – is a true image of G-d. YHVH represents Union (letter Yud) of female (two letters Heh) and male (letter Vav) aspects of Divine. So human being is a complete image of G-d only when man n woman are again united. The Gospel of Philipp states: "…the division was the beginning of death. Therefore Christ came, to improve that division and restore unity…" (77 verse). Then, as prophet told, "Face of G-d and His Name will be One". According to "Sepher ha-Zohar", the Upper Shekhinah (Holy Spirit) is staying upon man only while he is joined with lower Shekhinah, that is with a woman. Also every soul was divided in beginning into two, so each of us has his corresponding half. "For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union " (Liber AL vel Legis, 1.29). On cosmic level first Heh represents Parashakti, Vav stands for Ishvara and last Heh for Mahamaya. Yud is Paramashiva, Who is Shakti and Shiva united (sAmarasya or yAmala). On human level Heh is woman (her divine n human nature) and Vav is man. Vav is Son of G-d, who passes Light from upper Shekhinah to his beloved woman. This is the reason for necessity of uniting with each other, for neither man can go to G-d without woman, nor a woman can (however, women are little more independent, due to feminine nature of Holy Spirit). Two letters Heh is giving two 5, while 55 is gematria of kalah, "bride" and square gematria of ahavah, "Love". About the divinity of women there's a verse in gnostic apocripha: "…and souls of all husbands, who dwell WITH me, and wives, who dwell IN me" ("Thunder, the Perfect Mind")… It is said that as thru woman the Fall occured, so thru woman restoration n salvation will come. "For the Lord shall make something new on earth – wife will save/encompass husband" (Jeremiah 31.22), and then "again will be heard the voice happiness and joy, the voice of bridegroom and voice of bride…" (Jeremiah 33.11), because "in their union they will become dressed in Light" (Philipp 76). This smth new on earth is connected with coming of New Aeon of Messiah's Glory (Revelation 21.5). And the Law of this Aeon is Love: "Love is the law, love under will" (Liber AL vel Legis, 1.57; greek gematrioth of words agapae, love, and thelema, will, are equal - 93). The thing to note is that it is possible only in this world, "if someone hasn't got Light in this place, he will not be able to get it in That place" (Philipp 122). That is why G-d says in Torah about man and woman, "the two will become one" (Genesis 2.24). This commandment never mean ordinary legal marriage, `coz "the image of marriage is existing in spoiled form" (Philipp 60), and also "only Love can marry Love, and not man with woman in front of liars and caesars" (Gospel of Mary Magdalene). So, only "Love saves" (Kularnava-tantra), never any artificial human invented institutes. When the union is in Love, then it is true that "the foundation of the world is human and foundation of human is marriage" (Philipp 60). On this reason marriage in hebrew is called kidushin, which is derived from "holiness". For this reason, "This is My command: love each other" (John 15.17), "Love is covering/forgiving many sins" (Philipp 106), "Whoever does not love does not know G-d, because G-d is Love" (1 John 4.8) and "G-d is Love. Whoever lives in Love lives in G-d, and G-d in him" (4.16). Exactly same teaching is revealed in hindu Kaula-tantras, such as Kularnava, Yoni, Jnanarnava and other… "Love is the Law, Love under Will" 93/93 with love, Ur brother, Bar-Nachash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Thanks again! The Zohar is one of the most beautiful and amazing works. Spher Yetzirah and the others you mention. All of my works from this time in my life are at home at my mothers. Gematria is truely a key to understand that tradition, however, I never liked math that much. I remember the veils of certain wordings in this path can obscure the literal minded. Would you please provide to the forum the esoteric meaning of Lust. I think that word for the most part is seen as downward moving energy into bondage, but from the tradition you write from, is the divine desire for Union. Can you elaborate for the forum as it seems you are connected with the works of this tradition more so than I at this time in my life? My teacher always taught that the marriage is the uniting of ida/pingala and the upward ascent of kundalini (Higher Shekina) that happens in Union. I was glad to hear your wording of explaining what the marriage really is. Jai Ma!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Pls send this out out along with the one below. My comment about the literal minded was a poor choice of words. Each tradition has it's choice of words for a specific type of devotee. When RK used the word Lust it's always as a degraded desire to a material object. I think most who study the Eastern path wouldn't know what Lust is to the tradition Arjuna is speaking of. I didn't mean to call anyone here literal minded:) We all have literal minds to some degree so the definition of certain words reveal the esoteric meaning. I do want to apologize if anyone thought I was insinuating people on the forum are literal minded:) That wasn't my intent at all.. Jai Ma, KellyKelly Leeper <blissnout > wrote: Arjuna, Thanks again!
