Kabbalah
is best and most
candidly expressed by the apostle John in the following words," In the
beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God." This very familiar verse from The Gospel of John is known to
nearly everyone. It is symbolic of God creating through the "Word." The
Science of the sounds that form words and the symbolic order of the
numbers is Kabbalah.
"Kabbalah is "the mystery of the word." The word "Kabbalah"
itself is of Hebrew origin and even though the Hebrews claim it
exclusively, this most sacred science has always existed but was
practiced most diligently in the Orient and by the High Priesthood of
ancient Egypt, which is where the Hebrews got it from.
Understanding the sounds and their symbolism as well as the numbers and
their corresponding geometries is the Key to the True Kabbalah. No one
up to this point in time and without exception has explained these high
mysteries better, more completely and with as much clarity and detail
as Franz Bardon.
Event though Kabbalah is part of the Christian Mysteries it is
understandable that because of the distortions made to modern day
Christianity one would not commonly recognize Kabbalah as being part of
the Christian tradition. It should be remembered however, that there is
only One leader of Christianity and that is Christ. All others are
imposters and do everything in their power to keep the world from
Christianity. This statement need not be believed. One simply needs to
look at history and observe the behaviour of those who have called
themselves or made themselves the leaders of Christianity. Paracelsus
says it best!
Every creature makes some sort of sound. The sounds that creatures
utter are primal and express their feelings. Animals can communicate in
this way even though their sounds are not actual conversation.
Humans speak using languages. Language is nothing more than a series of
connected sounds that form words. It is necessary to form words because
words are a name given to a thing. And, nothing can exist without
having a name - this is a law. (Something to remember when you are
trying to save a document on your computer without giving it a name!)
Thoughts are of the Spirit and have a form. Their form is pictorial.
The language of the Spirit is therefore a picture language. This is why
the ancients used a written form that used pictures. The ancient
Egyptian hieroglyphs are likely the best known example of this.
As humanity declined Spiritually they lost the ability to read these
purely pictorial scripts and began using a phonetic alphabet. Each
letter representing a distinct sound. This did not change anything as
far as the principles that govern how the spirit itself functions.
Therefore the words we use to express our thoughts are a representation
in sound of the pictures we see within us.
The pictures we have in our thoughts are themselves creations and so
are the corresponding words we use to describe them. If we exchange
these created words person to person they recreate a similar picture in
the minds of others. This indicates that in the sound of the words
there is contained a resonating power capable of recreating the same
pictures we had in our mind in another person and thereby we
communicate. In spite of our best diction the words are still a very
poor approximation of our actual thoughts.
If this is possible casually, then it is also possible that with
diligence and intent of producing a much greater effect.
Everyone
has observed and practiced the ability in human communication to convey
feelings that are constructive, destructive or even descriptive. For
example, some words are soothing, others, are uplifting, others are
humbling, some warm us, others cool us. Some words can actually hurt,
some words heal. If there were no inherent power in the sounds of words
they would have no effect.
Taking this further, if a word can recreate a picture in someone else's
being then it stands to reason that with belief and proper force a word
can project that same picture that it represents out in the open, thus
recreating it visibly outside of our mind into creation. After all, if
in today's world we can artificially create unconscious virtual
realties electronically using unconscious and very lifeless machinery,
we as human beings made in the image of the Creator who are able to
procreate living beings in our own likeness than we must also be
capable of creating. We already do this everyday unconsciously in our
work and when we speak.
But, let us remember why a physical body exists in the first place. The
substance of the Spirit is incompatible with the substance of the
physical body. This necessitated the creation of a harbinger between
the two. The soul is the harbinger between Spirit and physical body.
The physical body we can readily see and when we wish to speak through
it, it utters our desired sounds. Clearly the impetus to utter a sound
is not from within the physical body itself. This impetus must come
from a higher but still "controlled by our will" source. That source is
the Sprit but, in the school that is our life on Earth, the physical
matter that makes up the physical body is made up of is impure when
compared to the Spirit and it is only a means that we may use to
experience life in the physical dimension while purifying its
substance. The intermediary body by necessity that is tied to the
Spirit and to the physical body is necessary to protect the Spirit and
Physical body from each other while permitting the "higher" to work
with the lower. Our physical speech without the force of the Spirit and
Soul is very dead and cannot influence with much power. This is why
Kabbalah is a spiritual art. The words deliberately formulated in
Kabbalah are consciously uttered in the Spirit and Soul. When this
sound is released the physical substance must obey it. And a controlled
manifestation occurs.
From a less powerful perspective, if you look around you everything
that surrounds you in your home or place of work was at one time a mere
thought in someone's mind, yet there it is tangible before you in three
dimensions. This object was a picture in someone's mind before it
became reality through physical manufacturing.
Having the maturity and control we could through the use of consciously
uttered sounds create words that actually manifest into reality. The
reason why the average person cannot do this is for the protection of
the rest of creation. The average person's thoughts are not
disciplined, pure or necessarily "good." If their utterances were to
manifest they would, for obvious reasons, be the greatest of curses.
This is why these arts have been strongly eluded to but essentially
kept hidden from humanity at large until now.
For this reason it is necessary to first ennoble the human being by
removing the impurities of the soul through a true Initiation, the
first Tarot Card described so precisely by Franz Bardon.
The Kabbalah also describes the order of Creation because it is through
Kabbalah that God brought everything into being.
