El Universo de Briah Representa al mundo de la creación, está en el centro del árbol y controla la vida y las energías superiores. Está compuesto de los sefirot Jesed, Gevurah y Tiferet. Este mudo es la representación de la moral y la ética que rige al ser humano. Es aquel que está encargado, por decirlo así, de realizar la creación propiamente dicha. En este mundo se delegan las facultades correspondientes por parte del mundo divino, el universo de las ideas o Atziluth. Para que se desarrolle la creación como algo aparentemente aparte o distinto de Dios o la Divinidad. Yaque este mundo arquetípico de las ideas no es el encargado de realizar este trabajo, pues si lo hiciera dejaría de ser divino. Se alejaría de la unidad superior y arquetípica para dar origen a la manifestación divina, pero fuera del seno de su total esplendor. El YO Superior El segundo universo, comenzando por la cima, se corresponde con el espíritu. Se trata de un “Yo superior”.. Descifremos el capítulo …

On Thursday November 19th, 2015 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will present the final discussion on the Tree of Life -- Kether and the Supernals. In our series on the Tree we have worked from the bottom up, and now we will have to shift into reverse and start down from above. We will outline the theory of four dimensions on the tree and how each dimension contains its own Tree. Kether of Malkuth being the heaven with God on his throne (if that's what you want) We will also deal with the two higher dimensions Atziluth and Briah and the Chokmah-Binah yin-yang effect, Our main text will be Dion Fortune's Mystical Qabalah which is the main source for both Gareth Knight and John Michael Greer's works on the the subject. There will be some surprises in store, so tune in and we will take heaven by storm.
Nephi and his brothers go back to Jerusalem to obtain the plates of brass.1:67 [3:9] And I, Nephi, and my brethren took our journey in the wilderness with our tents, to go up to the land of Jerusalem.1:68a [3:10] ¶ And it came to pass that when we had come up to the land of Jerusalem, I and my brethren did consult one with another;1:68b [3:11a] And we cast lots who of us should go in unto the house of Laban.1:69 [3:11b] And it came to pass that the lot fell upon Laman; and Laman went in unto the house of Laban, and he talked with him as he sat in his house.1:70 [3:12] And he desired of Laban the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass, which contained the genealogy of my father.1:71 [3:13a] ¶ And behold, it came to pass that Laban was angry and thrust him out from his presence; and he would not that he should have the records.1:72 [3:13b] Wherefore, he said unto him: Behold, thou art a robber, and I will slay thee.1:73 [3:14a] But Laman fled out of his presence and told the things which Laban had done, unto us.1:74 [3:14b] And we began to be exceeding sorrowful, and my brethren were about to return unto my father in the wilderness.1:75 [3:15] But behold, I said unto them: That as YHVH liveth, and as we live, we will not go down unto our father in the wilderness until we have accomplished the thing which YHVH hath commanded us.1:76 [3:16a] Wherefore, let us be faithful in keeping the commandments of YHVH;1:77 [3:16b] Therefore, let us go down to the land of our father's inheritance; for behold, he left gold, and silver, and all manner of riches.1:78a [3:16c] And all this he hath done because of the commandments of YHVH;1:78b [3:17] For he knowing that Jerusalem must be destroyed because of the wickedness of the people.Notes:This text has been edited from the original to change Greek or English terms to the Hebrew.

From the lecture transcription: This lecture relates with what Jesus said: "Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my logoi (λόγοι words) shall not pass away." - Matthew 24: 35 When people read this, they assume that Jesus is talking about the words that he is speaking in that very moment. Of course, this does relate with his logoi; but, in Greek, "Logoi" is plural for "words." This relates to the three primary forces of creation: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, in Christianity; Kether-Chokmah-Binah in Kabbalah, etc. These are the three aspects of the dragon of wisdom, or the lions of fire, which relate to the three kabbalistic worlds, kingdoms or spaces of the Trinity above the fourth kabbalistic world, named Assiah, Malkuth, our physicality, in the Tree of Life. “The three spaces of the First Mystery are the regions of the Demiurge Creator.” - The Pistis Sophia Unveiled by Samael Aun Weor “Demiurge” from Greek dēmiourgos (δημιουργός from ‘ergon’ builder; maker; creator of ‘dēmos’ people). Everything passes away, but not those three aspects, because they are eternal. They are within every single Monad that abides in the Absolute. The three spaces outside of the Absolute are represented in the three triangles of Tree of Life, namely, Atziluth, Briah and Yetzirah; these are the heavens of Genesis. The earth is Assiah, our physicality. From that point of view, we have to understand the words of Master Jesus, since the Master Aberamentho is a Paramarthasattya, an inhabitant of the Ain, the first aspect of the Ineffable, the Absolute.
In this episode we begin with an overview of one of the best kept secrets of the Western esoteric tradition: the power of the Daughter, the final letter of the Tetragrammaton or Divine Name. We then move on to the Page or Princess of Wands: Make way for the Rose of the Palace of Fire! the princess disguised as a humble page. Is she the beginning or the culmination of the suit? Is she sleeping in potential or established in might? She is the "throne of the Ace," the lowest in the highest, Kether in Malkuth. Here we find her Highness (or her Lowness) on fire, in the heart of Leo the lion as the sun rounds its northernmost position relative to the equator. We discuss her relationship to death and rebirth and her altar to the rite of spring, the geomantic figure Cauda Draconis, I Ching hexagram 27 (Yí, "Nourishing"), to salamanders, roses, and the ferocious tiger of the spatial quadrant of Asia Pacific. She is a force of nature who is not to be denied!

Whether you call him the Knight of Wands (RWS) or the Prince of Wands (Thoth), he is as bright as the sun and as bold as the lion! A creature of the last decan of Cancer and the first two decans of Leo, he is the heart of fire, fixed yet on the move. We consider his relationship to the 4 of Cups, the 5 of Wands and the 6 of Wands - how he glories in strife and victory, reveling in the spotlight, passionate in his voice, carried away by his own charisma! We speak also of the geomantic figure Fortuna Major, and I Ching hexagram 42 ("Augmenting"). He is the airy part of fire, so hold on tight as gusts of wind feed and fuel the leaping flames!

Welcome to the Queen of Wands, a palace of mirrors in which flames leap and multiply! Forthright and frank, sensual and feline, she possesses a magnetism that makes her the center of attention wherever she goes. We release this episode just as the Sun rounds through her domain, the last decan of Pisces and the first two decans of Aries. We consider her relationship with the 10 of Cups, 2 of Wands and 3 of Wands - her quest to dominate and her yearning to surrender. We speak of war queens and the thyrsus wand of Bacchus, the pine cone and the sunflower. We speak of salamanders, cougars, leopards, lions, and...of course...Snuffles the Black Cat!

Welcome to the courts! the most complex, enigmatic, and at times maddening cards in tarot. But here at Fortune's Wheelhouse we love the court cards in all their hard-to-grasp humanity, and we hope our discussion will help you in your own quest to come to terms with them. In this episode we discuss the esoteric structure of the court card system and its relationship to the face cards of the familiar poker deck. We talk about the ever-so-unfortunate divergence in nomenclature between RWS courts and Thoth courts, and about all the fourfold systems represented in the courts. For the King of Wands (RWS) or Knight of Wands (Thoth) we come within scorching distance of the fiery part of fire! We consider his relationship to the 7 of Cups and the 8 and 9 of Wands, as well as to the majors Death and Temperance/Art. We talk of thunder and lightning, Hercules and Caesar, the mysteries of salamanders and black stallions and how His Speedy Swiftness makes us "Click to Buy"!

Feeling tired? overburdened? weighted down and leaden-limbed? welcome to the Lord of Oppression! In the 10 of Wands, cold, dry Saturn governs the final decan of the fire sign Sagittarius. The embers are fading here at the northern Hemisphere's winter solstice; a mere pinpoint of southern light at the darkest time of the year. Here the associated majors, Temperance and the World or Universe, combine in an uneasy duet of aspiration and enclosure. In this episode we speak of the burden, the barrier, and the weight; the perils of "lust of result," and the 99% perspiration that goes into all creative acts. We find Hephaistos and Ananke, and a surfeit of ambition which can only be cured by compassion, when the 10 of Wands gives way to the Ace of Cups.

In any suit the Nine is where the power of that suit is strongest, and in fact the Nine of Wands is known as the Lord of Strength. But it is a fluctuating, tensile strength, not a rigid one - the strength of our Moon who rules this second decan of Sagittarius. She can be said to rule all nines, in fact, making the 9 of Wands doubly lunar. In this episode we speak of magic mirrors and equilibrium found in motion, the wisdom of adversity, the quiver and the bow, the arrows of Artemis and the justice of Persephone. We talk about the straight Path up the middle - and just how far you can go with a camel and a tent peg. And - because this card represents Mel's natal decan - we have a very special giveaway.

Lord of Swiftness, Lord of Speed, the 8 of Wands comes rushing in! Fast as the flight of the arrow, fleeting as the rainbow, it is here and gone. First decan of the mutable fire sign Sagittarius, it is ruled by Mercury, the speediest of planets. It is associated with the Magus/Magician and Temperance/Art, and there we detect the presence of that other messenger, the rainbow goddess Iris. Mercury, it can be said, also rules all eights, making the 8 of Wands doubly mercurial. The messenger is on the move: catch him - or her - if you can! Here we speak of journeys outer and inner, new endeavors and bright ideas, knowledge gods, the widsom of the crossroads, the eightfold model of consciousness and the transmission of Will.

Here is the renegade, the rebel heart, the iconoclast! Fearless and hotheaded, the 7 of Wands corresponds to the third decan of Leo, ruled by Mars. He is the lord of Valor, and his courage is that of the uphill battle. The adversaries are many - six against one! but glory and individual heroism are within grasp of his brute force. This is our first experience, in the minor arcana, of the creative and off-kilter energy of the number seven. Since the seventh sephira belongs to Venus, we explore her in her warrior aspect, as well as in the goddesses Babalon and Nike. And we tip a tattered hat to Shakespeare's rascal Petruchio, bent on conquest of his shrewish Katherine.

And...after Strife comes Victory. The battle is over, the competition has concluded, and we have a winner! As with other sixes, the 6 of Wands finds us at a moment of harmony and recognition, poised between the intemperate trials of the 5 and the restless quests of the 7. The 6 of Wands is associated with the Wheel of Fortune and Strength/Lust, and here we find the King of the Beasts astride the top of the Wheel, proud in his reign. It won't last forever, but for now we dwell in the heart of fixed fire, basking in the heat. We examine the meaning of bay laurel, and the solar and sacrificial gods associated with Tiphereth, the central sephira on the Tree of Life. Join us for a victory parade full of crowned heroes, horses with a secret and ... naked swords!

Nobody ever said it would be easy, right? After the sweet respite of the 4, we now pass into the heat and fire of the 5 of Wands, where cold dry Saturn contends with the first flaming degrees of Leo. Here we find discomfort of volcanic proportions, the crust cracking over pyroclastic flow, the pressure cooker, the glass alembic taking form in the furnace. We explore themes of war and war gods, the constructive and creative side of contests, the necessity of chaos, and the Mesopotamian, leontocephaline deity Zurvan, snakebound Lord of Time. If this card makes you squirm and sweat, you're not alone. But what's the point of life without a bit of effort, after all? When we cease to strive, we fail to thrive!

With the 4 of Wands we arrive at the final Aries card of three: from the ruthless drive of Dominion to the forthright rulership of Virtue to this, the sweet respite of Completion. Here Lady Venus (the Empress) reposes in her guest wing at the House of Aries (the Emperor), which is ruled over by her consort Mars. It is not her favorite house, but you can't deny there is a certain . . . chemistry at work on the premises. We explore themes of completion, safe havens, the natural world in harmony with the built world, the ecstatic union of male and female, the closing degrees of a sign, and the curious dynamic at work when a benefic (Venus) find herself in the sign of a malefic (Mars).

Ah, the 3 of Wands, the 'Lord of Virtue.' But what even is virtue? Here we find the Sun ruling the second decan of Aries, a place of exaltation for that golden sovereign of the sky. The ruthless initiative of the Two of Wands gives way to something better-regulated and altruistic in the Three. In this episode we talk about the formative aspects of Threes, the manner in which 'Will' evolves into 'Established Strength,' and what it means when the self comes into a sense of community. We talk about waiting, and the guest-host relationship. And we talk about the way the Sun and the Emperor combine in this card to form a picture of civilized society.

Enter the Lord of Dominion! With the 2 of Wands we enter the first of the "decanic minors" - the cards numbered 2 through 9. Associated with the planet Mars, it is a card of unequaled force, assertiveness, and dare I say, masculinity. Mars presides over both the last degrees of Pisces and the first degrees of Aries (as well as ruling the whole sign of Aries): the spark that keeps in motion the engine that turns the wheel of the year. We also discuss how the energies of the Emperor and the Tower blend in the 2 of Wands, there at the vernal equinox (or the autumnal equinox, for our Southern hemisphere friends).

Happy New Year! Fortune's Wheelhouse is back with the first of the minor arcana, the effulgent, the scintillating, the ineffable and radiant Ace of Wands! The pulse of the Universe, the will to live, the hunger and the drive. The fuel is stacked and ready, the spark is deep within and waiting. Will you strike the match with us?

A profound, advanced lecture about the heights of the path to heaven and the development of objective reasoning within the superior realms of the Bodhisattva. Pertains to the Initiatic process of Resurrection, the complete psychological death of the ego and perfection within the world of Yetzirah. Also moves into the process of Ascension through the Kabbalistic worlds of Briah and Atziluth, whereby the Resurrected Master enters more elevated realms of consciousness until attaining complete and absolute liberation. Lecture quote: "When we read about the ascension of Jesus in Luke 24:51 and Acts 1: 9-11 regarding how He went to heaven, we read in Greek “Ouranon Poreuomenon” - Ouranon or Uranus meaning heaven and Poreuomenon which means a psychological initiatic development that the Initiate has undertaken. This means that the Bodhisattva - through initiation - went to a place where no believer can go; the Bodhisattva went to those spheres that in Kabbalah are named Sephiroth within the world of Yetzirah, that are hidden from the eyes of the flesh or to that which is earthly, tridimensional."
