Rawn, That was a wonderful explanation, truly eye-opening and exciting. Thanks G. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rawn Clark To: BardonPraxis@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 7:43 PM Subject: Re: [BardonPraxis] Re: New photos / 3rd Key Dear Peter, >> Allright, upon doing a little bit of meditation upon the card I can definetly see how the symbolism upon it relates to Jewish Kaballah in the Sepher Yetzirah. The IHVH in the center relates to the three mothers, the seven planentary symbols relates to the seven doubles and the zodiac symbols the twelve rinds. However, I am not quite sure how the colour symbolism relates to the letters that Bardon gives within the text. All well, no matter. I guess this is one of those things that only a step eight initiate can truely understand. << ;-) I doesn't take a Step 8'er to realize that there's absolutely no relationship between these colors and the colors of the Letters (Fire pole) given in KTQ. Sorry to have been so uninformative in my first reply, but mainly I wanted to prompt you into meditating on the symbol first. Now that you have, here's a bit more to meditate about. ;-) #1) The "circles" are actually wheels. I suggest that you print out 4 copies. One copy, leave as is. The second copy, cut out the wheel of the zodiac. The third copy, cut out the wheel of the planets. And the fourth copy, cut out the central circle. Now layer the wheels and connect them together at their center points so that you can rotate the various wheels in relation to each other. #2) The outer wheel represents the Akashic essential meaning or "legality" (Earth pole) as expressed through the 10 Sephirot and the numbers 1 thru 10. The zodiacal wheel represents those Letters that have a special affinity for the mental realm. The planetary wheel represents those Letters that have a special affinity for the astral realm (the "seven portals to the soul"). The inner square of the Elements represents the physical realm. #3) The reason Bardon said that this glyph especially represents the Four-Letter Key is because it shows affinities, *through its color symbolism*, between the four realms into which one will place the four Letters. This is difficult to explain with typed words! If we were talking face-to-face, it wouldn't be a problem, but I'll give it a try anyway and see what comes of it. The place one starts is with the legality (i.e., the essential meaning) of the physical effect one wishes to create. The Letter which corresponds with that legality is placed in the Akasha. Thus you find the appropriate Sephirot key on the outer wheel and turn it so that it's at top. This represents the Letter you will place into the Akasha. To then find the most harmonious combination of Letters to put into the mental, astral and physical realms, you turn the inner wheels so that the colors match with the color of your legality. Of course, this assumes that you know all of the aspects of each Letter VERY thoroughly, because it's not always a straight-forward and logical process. It's an Art, so to speak. Nonetheless, if you take the three charts I present in my "Commentary Upon KTQ" and start fiddling around with your wheel, you'll either get it or drive yourself insane. ;-) This wheel is VERY versatile. You can really start anywhere (i.e., with any realm) and dial up harmonious solutions to the other realms. For example, if you desire a specific astral effect, you would start there and then tune in your legality, then figure out your most harmonious mental Letter, etc. If you're working with just the single-Letter key, then from this glyph you can get an idea of it's ultimate mental, astral and physical effectiveness by way of harmonious color symbolism. This wheel will also reveal certain conflicts and affinities between the Letters. But again, this only begins to *really* work when you know the Letters inside and out. Up until that point, it can be a painstaking process to make much sense of it, let alone any actual use of it. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 19 Jun 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe Yahoo!
