Moses the LawGiver. A Thelemic Interpretation.
-
93 93/93
The Exodus has been stuck in my mind for a few days. I havent fact-checked any of my thoughts. This is just a preliminary outline. But I think you can get the basic idea. I hope some Giants will comment.
Since I associate the number 4 with The lawgiver, this essay will be divided into 5 sections.(B)The introduction 1. The exodus from Egypt. 2. The desert crossing. 3. The reception of the 10 commandments. 4. Moses' death.
(B)The Introduction
Moses the Lawgiver=4=Chesed=Manifested Wisdom and Understanding =Mercy
- The Exodus from Egypt
City of Pyramids=Egypt=3=Binah
- The desert crossing
desert=The Abyss=D Moses=G=The Camel=The path through the Abyss. The pillar of cloud=3-5-8 The pillar of Fire=2-4-7. The Pillar of Fire and Cloud can also be construed as the guiding influence of 3(cloud)/2(fire) through the Abyss.
- The reception of the 10 commandments
Mount Sinai covered in smoke in the form of fire=The Fusion of 2 and 3. The giving of the LAW=The manifestation of the Child(4) through the Fusion of The Mother(3) and Father(2)=4
- Moses' Death
Joshua=5=Judgement=War=Gevurah The handing of power from Moses to Joshua=The manifistation of 5
Ok....let me have it
There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.

93 93/93
I think its interesting that Chassidic Jews write the name of god as G-D.....like a sign post
There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.

hm personally four is such a number that it could only be associated to daath through the lunar influence of malkuth rising, but thats only a personal interpretation and i may be wrong.
93 in 93 love peace eternal unity

I don't think you are wrong with your yesod comment, but then that in a way states that we evolved beyond the need to see malkuth as the whole of reality as is still current in various aspects of modern life.

well as i see it the world around us is merely a symbol, a divine symbol of divine origin, simply meaning man didn't make it, mercury is an archetype of the magician and his command of mind over spirit, but saying that all natural creation is symbolic teaching then where to put malkuth? then the elements are nonexistent save thru the illusion or dream of life and they become merely a mirror of a hidden thought of the universe, and isn't it said in qbl that the kingdom of god is merely a dark shade reflecting only a fraction of his spendours? if this splendour is then his thoughts or pure reason or knowledge then malkuth should be in da'ath, as the reflection is only a body of knowledge, but then the microcosm logos is ourselves, the initiate who holds the knowledge of illusioned and parabled life upon his "strong eye" the third eye. but according to a strict qabbalistic teach9ing this is only one mans interpretation and is in no way to be an absolute as only god can be.
