Dear Rawn,

When I made the comment about step 8, I was refering to how all the 
colour symbolism relates to the actual universal principles that they 
are suppose to represent and what not all.

>>>#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.<<<

Ugh, no. I thought it bore some resemblence to Raymond Lull's memory 
wheels. Also, Lull was quite influenced by the philosophy of 
Hermetics. Though his own practice of that philosophy can be said to 
be a rather obscure branch of it. One that I don't fully comprehend 
myself and probably never will. Then again, previously having gone 
through the trouble of trying to do as such: I don't think I will do 
so.

>>>#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.<<<

I do believe that the point of confusion that I am finding is that 
within Jewish Kaballah, there are only 22 letters. Whereas Bardon's 
system posits how many letters, 27, I believe?

Moreover, all the letters are suppose to be mastered within each of 
the four realms: akasha, mental, astral and physical, correct? Yet 
here you're seeming to say that certian letters have an affinity with 
certian realms...

Now with regards to what you've said about the use of the key as a 
wheel: I think I get the general idea of it. However, I'm going to 
have to print out a couple copies of the key and play around with it 
a bit to see if I can actually apply it all.

Love and Live well,
Peter Reist
