Malkuth
-
Jim, in the past you've generously posted your articles in lieu of entire issues of ITC and BP; would you please post your serialized study of the V&V from 1997-2001 in Black Pearl? That is a wonderful document with many many interesting mysteries - but it's sure not easy to understand! Such is life. But if you've already done some great work on forging a key...

I've said for a while that, though we didn't have a schedule for getting the work done, we eventually would make Black Pearl available for download just like ITC. I can now leak, buried here in this thread, that... we are only a few weeks from that time.
As for the V&V work... gosh, I'm in a "leaky," teasy mood today... I think I'll just say that I'll have a way bigger announcement to make in the near future. The BP serialization should best be considered the initial, preliminary study on the topic...
PS - Thanks for the kind words.
PPS - We should let this float back to the original topic of the thread and, if necessary, start a new thread to pick this up elsewhere.

"Yet the comparison runs deeper still, geometrically both Earth and Malkuth take the form of a sphere."
Malkuth does not take the form of a sphere, it is drawn as a circle, but that's just a drawing. The use of the word "sphere" is probably because some peoplecannot resist thye similarity between sphere and sephira, although the latter probable means "chapter" (of a book, not an Order).

Or it's the use of "sphere" as ikn "sphere of influence," or, more generally, "an area of power, control, or influence; domain."

So does this imply Malkuth is a "Force" of somekind to have "an area of power, control, or influence; domain"

No. Not force. Context. (Note the word "area.") Think context.

"Most people, despite familiarity with The Vision & the Voice, don't know that this model is the key to unlocking what's happening in V&V step-by-step. (I published a serialized study of that from 1997-2001 in Black Pearl.)"
Thanks for the hint. Definitely encourages me to have a go myself!
By the way, any idea where the model I first posted comes from? I've been searching for a depiction of the Malkuth=Kether one, but all I've been finding are numerous examples of the Malkuth=Tiphereth Tree. What gives?

"I think the one you published is Lurianic. For the one you're seeking, I guess nobody has digitized the fold-out from Mathers' Kabbalah Unveiled. (I still prefer to look for these things in physical books, rather than online.)
