Above all things, know thyself!

In Western Hermetic Qabalah, The Sun Tarot Card is assigned the Hebrew letter Resh (Means-Head) and is the letter assigned to the Thoth-ATU 19-The Sun. Hence the Head is seen as the Sun of the Body. It is the Head-Sun that rises above the Earth and is what many consider to be the contributor to the rational thought process of the awake consciousness.

The Plasmic Sun/Solar Deity is cited as the Thirtieth-Path and/or the Collective Intelligence, in Dr. Paul Foster Case's Tarot instruction called [The Thirty-Two Paths of Wisdom]. He states that: The Collective Intelligence of the Sun (solar self) exercises control over the 12 signs of the zodiac (12 guideposts of Personality), as shown on this card by the 12 rays radiating outward from the central orb, as well as a link between the personalities (constellations) that have been experienced in different incarnations.

The Mystic Palette Tarot -Key 19- The Sun concentrates on the warmth and glory of the Sun as the inner connective between the Soul and astrology. The Sun card represents the male mysteries that cannot be understood by feelings but is found as an inner warm-bright happiness. As in the Thoth Tarot the Hebrew letter Resh (head) is shown but differently as it is central to the cards solar image.

The worship of the Sun and/or Solar Deity is a very ancient practice, for at one time in history, we knew that all celestial beings were intelligent and/or conscious beings. There are many interpretations of this card for instance; the Rider-Waite-Smith Sun card, depicts a more traditional illustration that follows the ritual of the Golden Dawn for the 29th path which states," The Sun embraces the whole of creation in its rays". Carl Jung believed it is the goal of individuation.

The radiant sun reminds us of the Inner Sun (Son of God) which is just as powerful as the Solar Being above us. When we are truly present, our presence is enough to inspire and shift the world around us and shine on the darkest of days. The brick or stone wall that is shown on the Rider-Waite-Smith Key 19-Sun card is a reminder of the earth and the enclosure of the material body.

This card reminds us to ask ourselves if we are consciously aware of how we are shining in our peak human experience. The sun flowers basking the Sun's radiance represent in the language of flowers, adoration, loyalty, and longevity. They are associated with positive qualities such as warmth, happiness, and a strong connection to the sun. Sunflowers are often considered a symbol of positivity and energy, making them a popular choice for conveying cheerful and uplifting sentiments. This can all be applied to the Mystic Palette Key 19-Sun card as its primary meaning is powerful individuation, harmony, happiness and joy coming into one's life.

Oh radiant orb, celestial sphere divine, In golden robes, your majesty does shine. A sun priest's heart, with reverence aglow, Sings praises to you, as the ancients bestow.

Bathed in luminescence, a deity unveiled, Your fiery gaze upon the world has sailed. A cosmic dance, a celestial hymn, In your brilliance, our souls do swim.

From dawn's first light to twilight's embrace, Your warmth and light, a sacred grace. A charioteer in the vast sky's sea, Guiding all with divine decree.

O Sun, source of life, eternal flame, In your presence, we invoke your name. Bless us with your golden kiss, Ignite our spirits in celestial bliss.

As shadows yield to your radiant might, A sun priest bows in reverent light. To you, we offer prayers and praise, In ancient hymns, our voices raise.

Oh, solar deity, in splendor enthroned, In your cosmic temple, our spirits are honed. A timeless bond, our souls align, In worship of the sun, forever entwined.

Eli- 2024

It is true that all collectives of atoms become intelligent as all celestial beings float in the "Great Dark Ocean" of the Great Mother (many call it "outer space") which is what Carl Jung called the nonlocal Universal Collective Unconscious; all is Mind. In a way, the Qabalah is Sun/Son worship, as the goal is for the personality to reach the Solar Deity that is our Soul which in Qabalah, is shown on the Tree of Life (the God Molecule) as the 6th Sephiroth-Tiphareth-Beauty.

With the appearance of the Sun the twins of mythology-Apollo and Diana (the Moon goddess), are united, representing the union of opposites; of light and dark, movement and repose, day, and night etc. Since the Sun represents the "head", their union can also represent the merging of the consciousness and subconsciousness, or the left side and right side of the brain, which according to the psychoanalyst Carl Jung is the perfect state of Mind.

The Path of Resh (The Sun) is the first path of the Personality triad of paths rising on the Tree of Life from Yesod (foundation) to Hod (splendor). On the Path of Resh, the encountering aspirant, will experience the intellectual-formative side of this conscious energy, as an activating force of the Personality, the Higher Self and/or the Spiritual Self become the composites of the masculine-intuitive dynamic, Yod, and a feminine-Intellectual-formative, Heh, that together combine opposing forces, producing a set of equalized forces called Vau/Vav (YHVH).

All of this is explained in greater detail in my class reference book by Robert Wang: THE QABALISTIC TAROT (a textbook of Mystical philosophies). For now, suffice it to say that The Sun-collective assembles all the component parts of the Personality on these lower paths, by infusing them with "light and Warmth" which are considered intellectual qualities. Thus, the Path of the Sun (Resh) is considered the highest level of human intellect and the Path of personality to the Soul, as The Star-ATU/Key 17, is considered the highest path of human emotions. As example are shown the Thoth Tarot cards of the Star and Sun, for they show this connection in their art.

What may be curious to the discerning aspirant of Tarot, is that when you combine The Sun's high intellect with the high emotion of The Star card, the balanced effected is represented by The Tower-ATU/Key 16, which seems the opposite of balance, if not outright chaos. Again, I choose to show a Thoth Tower card which shows the connection in art as well.

However, what is not seen in the Sun card but is what we are subtlety witnessing here is the destruction of the unworthy elements of the "man-made personality" and/or "false ego", so that the Sun (son) Solar Personality is free to arise to its Source (Plasmic Kundalini Rising).

It pays to remember that none of these Tarot Cards Stand Alone, as all 78 of them pertain to intellectual Paths of the One Macrocosmic Mind, and you are the Sun/Son of that One, where all Paths join. That son/sun is called the archetype Adam Khadmon, the "Heavenly Human"-the one made from the God Molecule/Tree of Life. Hence, we are all "Star Seeds" and/or Suns/Sons of the Divine Creative, regardless of gender. Truth being our indoctrinated concept of gender is a deception imposed on us by the Patriarchy (Military Industrial Complex). They erased the memory of the 5-gender knowledge by constant lie (if a lie is used often enough it becomes a truth) and word hypnosis

The five-gender paradigm observed in many Indigenous cultures of the Americas reflects a holistic understanding of gender and identity that is deeply rooted in spiritual, social, and communal values. This framework often diverges from the binary gender system introduced by European colonization. Here’s an overview of the five recognized genders and their philosophical underpinnings:

1. Female and Male

These are the traditional categories of gender often associated with biological sex. However, in many Indigenous cultures, these identities are not merely defined by biological factors but also by roles, responsibilities, and spiritual aspects within the community.

2. Two-Spirit Female and Two-Spirit Male

The concept of "Two-Spirit" (a term coined in the 1990s by Indigenous LGBTQIA+ activists) encompasses individuals who embody both masculine and feminine spirits. This is not strictly about sexuality or gender expression but a deeper recognition of their unique spiritual role and contribution to the community. Two-Spirit individuals often served as:

• Mediators: Bridging the physical and spiritual worlds or resolving conflicts within their communities.
• Healers: Their dual nature was believed to grant them special insight and wisdom.
• Keepers of Tradition: Preserving oral histories, rituals, and cultural knowledge.

Two-Spirit identities differ from tribe to tribe, and specific terms, roles, and interpretations vary widely across Native American cultures.

3. Transgender

In this paradigm, transgender individuals were often understood as those whose gender identity or expression diverged from the one assigned to them at birth. In many Indigenous communities, transgender people were not seen as outliers but as integral members with distinct roles. They were often valued for their fluidity and viewed as possessing unique insights.

Philosophical Foundations

The Native American understanding of gender is rooted in holistic and animistic worldviews:

• Interconnectedness: All beings, human and non-human, are interconnected in a sacred balance. Gender diversity reflects the diversity of creation.
• Role-Based Identity: Identity is less about rigid categories and more about one’s contribution and relationship to the community and the natural world.
• Sacred Dualities: The blending of masculine and feminine energies is often seen as sacred and powerful, representing the union of opposites essential to the harmony of the universe.
• Respect and Inclusion: Many Indigenous cultures embraced diversity as a strength, seeing each person as uniquely gifted and essential to the community's well-being.

Impact of Colonization

European colonization disrupted these practices by imposing binary gender systems and patriarchal values. The spiritual and social roles of Two-Spirit and transgender individuals were marginalized or erased. However, in recent decades, there has been a resurgence of Indigenous gender philosophies, thanks to cultural revitalization movements and greater recognition of Two-Spirit identities.

This philosophy offers a profound lesson about embracing diversity, challenging binary norms, and recognizing the sacredness of all identities.

On the Thoth Card is the image of dancing cherubic twins (celestial selves) who actually portray a two spirited individual. I call these people "binary souls". And I admit I am one of those 2 spirit males. Eli and Elizabeth run this Nephilim form in the name of the Divine Creative.

The Lower Paths on the Tree of Life, Tau, Shin and Resh, (The Universe, The Aeon, The Sun-), are the symbols of the component parts of the Personality which functions through the body-vehicle, as Spirit's experience-collecting apparatus. The Higher Self must function through the Personality if it is to influence the physical plane, as Pure Spirit must function through the Higher Self that is "One Mind" and the Body to establish "Whole Self".

The fact that we perceive separation between this ternary Self of Spirit-Mind-Body, which are aspects of the Oneself, necessitates understanding of each of the components that are in a state of infinite connectivity (Quantum Entanglement). The Tree of Life does describe, by its pattern, a degree of separation, as Sephiroth, but the Paths show us they are all connected, and that the perception of separation although false, is to expedite understanding of a dimension of conscious energy that contributes to the "God Molecule".

We are all an Immortal Celestial Ternary Being, Spirit-Mind-Body. The Word Spirit is just another way to describe the Original Willed Energy to be and a poor attempt towards Understand the One Energy; the Word Mind, is another way to Understand Womb, and the Body is the Organic Sensuality necessary for intimacy and/or the sensual experience of taking information and turning it into experience and/or knowledge. We are a Whole Sun when we are One Being, who is of Ternary Manifestation which is all connected on the Tree of Life, i.e., Spirit/Mind/Body and/or "I AM Me" and the only one that can be called a gender in this trinity, is the body.

Perception is noted for its wide varieties from one organism to another, so it is up to each individual student to create their own Qabalah (Receiving). The Path of Resh is crucial in developing the individual Qabalah (Individual Receiving). Upon journeying this Path of the Collective Intelligence, one will receive the imprint and acceptance of "Spirit guides: or those Angelic beings who direct the inner learning experience of the student----our collective family on the other side of the Mirror and/or the other side of Time.

On the Path of Resh (head) the candidacy for Tiphareth (Beauty), The Conscious of the Sun (Son), and /or Higher-Plasmic Self, is begun.

The twin babies in the Thoth Fool Card, and the Bride and Grooms Children in the Thoth Lovers card are both earlier incarnations of the 2 dancing winged children that are found in the Thoth Sun Card. According to Crowley:

"They represent the male and female, eternally young, shameless and innocent. They are dancing in the light, and yet they dwell upon earth. They represent the next stage, which is to be attained by mankind, in which complete freedom is alike the cause and the result of the new Aeon of solar energy upon the earth."

[The Book of Thoth, Pg., 114]

That is to say, the Aeon of Horus, (Age of Aquarius) will erase the infection of the "mind virus" (false ego) of evil that lives in the subconscious of Humanity. I recommend that you get the book: Wetiko (healing the mind virus that plagues our world)-by Paul Levy. It will reveal that parasite which is hidden in your subconscious--this "antilife" that causes addictions, depressions, feelings of helplessness, self-harm, hatred, etc. Some call this parasite the "devil within", that bedevils one with thoughts of fear, worry, and the falsehood of "peer pressure".

The Intellectual/Spiritual Path (Ayin) leading into Hod, The Sun, is where inner discoveries are made as the Inner Teachers exert their influence on the material world, clarifying the relationship between mind and body. This Path of Resh will help the student understand the control and limitations of intellect.

Therefore, the Path of the Sun, Resh into Yesod, is also the path of” awakening", that helps the student understand the use of the tremendous "Spiritual/Sexual-Vital Force" of the 9th Sephiroth-Yesod (Foundation) that is known as the "secret" or Arcane force (serpent force) manipulated by the initiate of the Mysteries. This force has many names, such as "Serpent Force", Kundalini, or "Life Force", and even The Red Goddess "Babylon", all of which fall short in proper perception, as most definitions do. This force must be experienced to be understood, and proper preparation for the "rising" of this internal Solar Deity must be made by experiencing of the Perceptual Intelligence on the ​Path of Shin (The Aeon).

What Babalon Represents in the Hermetic Mysteries

Babalon is a central figure in Thelemic mysticism and Hermetic Qabalah, embodying both cosmic and personal dimensions of divine femininity. She represents:

1. The Scarlet Woman:

   • In Crowley's system, Babalon is the archetype of the liberated, sexually empowered woman who transcends societal constraints. She is the partner of the Beast (Crowley's archetypal role as Therion) and embodies the spiritual path of surrender to divine love and will.

2. The Divine Feminine:

   • Babalon is the counterpart to Nuit, the infinite space and starry night sky in Thelemic cosmology. While Nuit represents infinite possibility, Babalon is the active, creative principle that manifests those potentials in the material world.

3. Sexuality and Liberation:

   • As the "Whore," Babalon reclaims sexuality as sacred. She invites her followers to "pour out their blood into her cup," symbolizing the surrender of the ego, the dissolution of individual identity, and unity with the divine.

4. The Cup of Abominations:

   • Babalon is often depicted holding a chalice (the Cup of Abominations), which contains the blood of the saints. This symbolizes the collection of all spiritual experiences, both "holy" and "profane," that must be integrated on the path to enlightenment.

5. The Path of Binah:

   • Babalon is associated with Binah (Understanding) on the Tree of Life, the sephirah of the Great Mother and the ocean of primordial wisdom. Through her, the initiate transcends the abyss, the great divide between the human and the divine.

6. The Gate of the Abyss:

   • In Thelemic Hermeticism, Babalon is the goddess who resides at the threshold of the Abyss, where the ego is annihilated. She guides the initiate to surrender their lower self, becoming united with the divine will.

Practical Hermetic Implications

• Transformation: Babalon is a symbol of transformation through passion, love, and surrender. She urges her followers to embrace all experiences, integrating light and shadow, to achieve self-transcendence.
• Empowerment: She redefines power and freedom, particularly for women, reclaiming symbols of oppression (like the "whore") as sacred.
• Spiritual Courage: By surrendering to Babalon, one confronts their fears, attachments, and limitations, preparing to cross the Abyss and attain unity with the divine.

In essence, Babalon represents the culmination of Hermetic and Thelemic ideals: the sacred feminine, the power of love and creation, and the ultimate path to spiritual liberation through ecstatic surrender.

Yesod, is attributed to the Moon which governs the ebbing and flowing of the Astral Light (Akashic Fluid /Plasma, and/or the Odic force) and is the sexuality beneath our material existence. Hence, the Sun and Moon union also represents the "dance of the twins", Anima (Soul) and Animus (Spirit).

Hod is Mercury, the first similarity of the specific Personality that is a constellation to the Sun. The Personality is hermaphroditic and/or androgyne, as male and female qualities have yet to be separated out as specifics.

The Path of the Sun, when considered developmentally, is the point of childhood of the emerging Personality as it builds toward an earthly incarnation. By traveling upward, towards Hod-The 8th Sephiroth, we are once again experiencing this initial innocence: a kind of re-experiencing youth and/or a rebirth.

On the Path of Resh, the aspirant reaches a stage where there is some recollection of the Plasmic Source from which we emerged.

All our souls emerge from the Source we moderns call the Central Sun of the Milky way Galaxy. This magnificent Solar Deity is responsible for all the collective of stars, planets, and beings in this Galaxy. Each of us are of the Solar Deity we call our Soul/Solar Self, and represent the "Brilliant, warm, creative" macrocosmic intellect on this planet who can be intimate with Earth, its most beloved.

It is time to be a rising sun/son, rather than just a dreaming moon.

The dancing Twins, on the Thoth Sun card, also symbolize the purest-innocent expression of the electric-male (Earth) and the magnetic female (Water) principles in physical manifestation. These Twins are also a reference to the astrological sign of Gemini, the sign that links Taurus (Earth) and Cancer (Water). The ancient Greeks referred the sign Gemini, to Apollo and the Sun while the ancient Romans had a cult of Mithra.

In the Thoth Sun card, the green mound beneath the Twins symbolizes fertility, as its shape shows aspiration to the Higher Self. The Children dance, free from enclosure, symbolizing freedom from the "prejudices of the people that date morally from the about 25 hundred B.C." [Crowley] Here, the Sun, is the Rose-Cross expanded from four arms to 12 rays and embracing the whole of creation in its rays, it is the “adorable Fire” (Paul Foster Case) that is the vital life force of all creation. This relationship of Apollo and the Sun (son of God) may be easier seen in the Traditional Tarot of Rider-Waite-Smith, Tarot- Key 19 the Sun as the child riding the white horse, suggesting purity.

This expanded "Inner Sun" is felt by the initiate or aspirant, as a very warm rising, fertile power, and an adorable fire, which does change the physiology of the physical form into the " Master’s Body" and/or the Philosopher's Stone (the revitalization of the God Molecule in the initiate.).

Paul Foster Case, a prominent figure in Western Hermeticism and the founder of the Builders of the Adytum (B.O.T.A.), made a profound statement regarding the "adorable fire" and its transformative effect on the aspirant's body, which he related to the concept of the Philosopher's Stone. To understand this, we need to explore both the symbolic and practical aspects of these terms in the context of Hermetic philosophy, alchemy, and spiritual transformation.

The Adorable Fire in Hermeticism

In Hermeticism and Western alchemical traditions, the adorable fire refers to the inner spiritual fire or divine energy that awakens within the aspirant as they progress along the mystical path. This fire is not a physical fire, but rather a spiritual force or energy that catalyzes transformation on all levels of the individual’s being.

• Symbolism of Fire: Fire is a classic symbol of both destruction and purification in alchemical and Hermetic traditions. It represents spiritual illumination, the burning away of impurities (the ego and worldly attachments), and the transmutation of base material (the soul) into something more refined, pure, and divine.
• The "Adorable" Aspect: The fire is "adorable" because it is both awe-inspiring and intimately connected to the divine. It is a force that is both feared and revered, as it can bring about the ultimate spiritual evolution or, if misunderstood or misused, lead to spiritual death.

This inner fire is often associated with the awakening of Kundalini energy in certain mystical traditions, which is said to rise from the base of the spine, activating the chakras and transforming the consciousness of the aspirant. In Hermeticism, this fire often symbolizes the spiritual will that drives the process of transmutation and enlightenment.

Physiological Transformation and the Philosopher's Stone

Paul Foster Case connects this adorable fire to the physical transformation of the aspirant's body, stating that the process represents the creation of the Philosopher's Stone.

In alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone is a legendary substance believed to have the power to transmute base metals (like lead) into gold, and it was also said to provide immortality through the Elixir of Life. Symbolically, the Philosopher’s Stone represents spiritual enlightenment, the perfected self, and the transmutation of the soul from a state of imperfection (like lead) into a state of purity, divine wisdom, and spiritual sovereignty (like gold).

In the context of Case's teachings, the transformation of the body through the adorable fire means that as an aspirant undergoes spiritual training (through meditation, visualization, ceremonial magic, etc.), their entire being—mental, emotional, and physical—undergoes profound changes. These changes are symbolic of the Philosopher's Stone, meaning the aspirant's body and soul are becoming purified, perfected, and spiritually enlightened.

The Path of Transformation

1. The Alchemical Process: Alchemists understood the Philosopher's Stone as a process of transmutation—not just of materials but of the self. This is often represented in stages such as:
   • Nigredo (blackening): The initial stage of dissolution or purification, where the aspirant confronts their shadow self, their impurities, and their ego.
   • Albedo (whitening): The stage of purification and enlightenment, where the soul is cleansed and attuned to higher spiritual truths.
   • Citrinitas (yellowing): The process of integrating spiritual wisdom into everyday life, bringing the light of the divine into the material realm.
   • Rubedo (reddening): The final stage, representing the full realization of the Philosopher's Stone—spiritual enlightenment and union with the divine.

As the aspirant progresses through these stages, the adorable fire of divine energy gradually purifies and transforms their body, mind, and spirit, creating a sacred, perfected vessel—the Philosopher’s Stone.

1. Spiritual and Physical Integration: The body itself becomes an alchemical vessel, and the aspirant’s physicality begins to reflect their inner spiritual state. The adorable fire ignites the body’s potential for higher consciousness and spiritual enlightenment. This transformation is not merely theoretical; it involves actual physiological changes, such as:

   • Heightened perception: The awakening of intuitive and psychic abilities.
   • Increased vitality: A sense of rejuvenation or physical energy as the spirit and body align.
   • Purification: The release of toxins (both physical and emotional), symbolizing the shedding of lower, base states of consciousness.

2. The Philosopher’s Stone as Spiritual Mastery: Ultimately, the Philosopher’s Stone in this context represents the aspirant’s ability to transform themselves into a perfected being, manifesting spiritual mastery in the physical world. It is the embodiment of self-realization, immortality, and unity with the divine will.

Conclusion

When Paul Foster Case speaks of the adorable fire changing the aspirant’s physiology, he is referring to the process of spiritual awakening and alchemical transformation. This fire purifies the body and soul, turning the aspirant into a more refined and enlightened being. The Philosopher's Stone is not just a concept in alchemical texts, but a living reality that the practitioner creates within themselves—a representation of the final stage of spiritual evolution where the self is perfected and united with divine consciousness. Through the internalization of this fire and the gradual transmutation of their entire being, the aspirant achieves spiritual wholeness, embodied in the Philosopher’s Stone.

The Hexagram is the symbol of the composite Thirtieth Path of Resh which is compressed of the 4 Elements, the Signs of the Zodiac, and the Planets, all under the Rulership of the Sun. Thus, the Hexagram is the symbol of the perfect integration of Personality and Solar Self (Tiphareth -meaning Beauty).

The Sun is also called the "Splendor of the Material World” which is representative of the intellect acting upon the dual human condition of unconsciousness and the awake consciousness of the physical body. Thus, the Sun is a point of connection with the Greater Life that is comprised by balancing the human intellect with the Higher Intellect that is the "Sun (Son) of God".

For the initiate, experiencing the Path of Resh is very profound as it is the introduction to the inner sun, which is the light of the personality, as the outer sun is the light of the physical world. What one tends to forget, while experiencing the warmth and light of this inner sun (Kundalini), one's false (manmade) personality cannot look directly into this solar intelligence, any more than they can at the physical sun, without suffering damage to the faux ego and/or false "I".

As shown by The Tower Card; equilibrium will be reached by "burning away" what is unworthy of the Higher Personality. This "burning", which is most wanted by those who seek the Truth of Self, can be most uncomfortable to the ignorant of what is Self-Truth for it will vaporize the false Self that is the profaned man-made ego. Hence, the kundalini must never be prematurely invoked! The Inner-Buddha /Christ Self knows when to release the Kundalini when the aspirant is ready, as the 12th Century Sufi Master- Mustafa Jelaluddin Rumi exclaimed in his prayer to the Higher Self, "Give me the Burning"!

As I have said before, working on the Paths brings about definite physiochemical changes in the human body and as one of the most noted teachers of the Hermetic Qabalah, Dr. Paul Foster Case has stated in his study course, The Thirty-Two Paths of Wisdom,"...marked inner differences from the average person, are due to psychological contrasts in the mental state of the ordinary human beings, but they are also the outer signs of organic changes inside the skin of the new creature. He [She] is chemically and structurally unlike genus homo. There are different constituents in his [her] blood stream. Through his [her] nervous system passes currents of force not present in most human bodies because in his [her] organism channels are open which are closed in the physical vehicle of most persons. Centers in the nervous system and in the brain, and glands related to them, function differently in the body of an adept from the way they do in the bodies of the greater number of his [her] contemporaries." (The brackets are my own addition, as it was written when the proper, He was used to describe both sexes.). 

What is mentioned are the same physio chemical change that happens to adepts in the Tantric Arts, where balanced Divine Male and Divine Female energy opens the Divya Siddhis or magic abilities. These abilities are the stored information in the Anu Genetics that are a product of the "Sons of God, marrying the women of men" (producing the children of human and Anunnaki union called the "Nephilim" by the Hebrews,) and /or Ancient Genetic Manipulation of the Scientists of the Anunnaki ("Those who from the heavens that came to earth") that created the Homo Sapiens on this planet. 

That is right dear reader, we are a "space colony" of the "Gods". 

The Qabalist always bears in mind that the Personality, the component parts of which are represented on these lower Paths of the Tree of Life, functions through the body as an experience-collecting vehicle for the Soul/Spirit. 

To divorce the body from the Spirit, by using words as identity, is a most serious mistake of indoctrinated divisionism, for then we are mentally and thus physically divorcing ourselves from the very Powers that created the body and placing a black virus of amnesia over our "Resh"!

 The body is the crucible of the Alchemist, and the Sun is the important symbol, as well as the furnace heat that is the alchemical process of turning the lead of unworthy thought into the gold of Higher Mind. As Crowley said in his Book of Thoth, Pg. 113: 

"This is one of the simplest of the cards; it represents Heru-ra-ha, the Lord of the New Aeon, in his manifestation to the race of men as the Sun Spiritual, Moral, and Physical. He is the Lord of Light, Life, Liberty, and Love. This Aeon has for its purpose the complete emancipation of the human race."

Heru-ra-ha is Crowley's Thelemic name for Horus.

The Sun grants us the power to rise and take charge of our lives. This bright light of the Sun/reason reveals the "false ego" parasite that hides in our subconscious shadow. Revealing this parasite removes its influence as the subconscious now becomes more conscious, resulting from awake conscious observation. Therefore, before the Sun we have reached the pinnacle of this False Ego's Evil influence, (Anti Life-Live spelled backwards) as depression, the false egos at its most rigid and distressing form, from which to some seems most impossible to escape from. Yet the Psyche's bright light of intelligence burns it away, as if the Bright Light of the Sun has caused a mold's destruction. The inner Sun/Son restores our Will to be Spirit and/or individuation.

When the Sun, ATU/Key 19 is thrown, it implies:

• The querent shall experience gain, riches, glory and sometimes warmth of love.
• Maybe called arrogance which is often a misunderstanding of their glowing self-confidence.
• The querent might make great displays of vanity but this is only seen when accompanied by very negative cards.
• The dance of the divine twins can also be considered a meeting of the soul (solar) mates. 
• However, this most esoteric and requires a Lover’s or Love card to clarify as an exoteric event.
• Striving for the light.
• Reconciliation with the shadow side and realization of the innermost (highest) self.
• Vivacity.
• Acceptance of Life.
• Generosity.
• Warmth.
• Self-confidence.
• Rational approach.
• Sexual desire. 

If ill defined by the surrounding cards, it implies:

• Self-satisfaction.
• Personality cult.
• Delusions of grandeur.
• Loss of confidence.
• Frustration.
