Nature

[DavidH]

There is a Golden Dawn verse that speaks of (the HGA?) as "one whom nature hath not formed." What does this mean? Isn't everything of nature? Any ideas? What is considered nature or non-nature?

LLLL,
David

[Jim Eshelman]

That reference is specifically to the Lord of the Universe, and infers that He is self-begotten: Not birthed from the creation, but inherently Creator.

Without changing the meabning, one can approach it differently: "Nature," though most commonly meaning Assiah, is a common word for that which comes from Yetzirah, the World of Formation. In that sense, the phrase just means that the object of adoration is from a higher world than Yetzirah.
