Above all things, know thyself!

# 10. The Kingdom of Spirit is Embodied in my Flesh.

THE 10 OF DISKS, is called the Lord of Wealth and is associated with Mercury in Virgo. The Angels associated with this Decan are Haayah and Laviah. Again, this is MALKUTH in ASSIAH which is the influence of Malkuth in the Active Material world. Hence this card is also called:

The Lord of Wealth-a hieroglyph of the cycle of regeneration.

Represented in this Thoth card is prosperity, wealth, success in the world of finances, family, and physical health. This represents the appreciation of luxury that comes from "knowing the right people". The Thoth card also shows the Pentacles in the Tree of Life pattern, an image of human heritage as the Adam Khadmon.

Adam Kadmon is a central concept in the Qabalah, representing the archetypal human or the primordial man. It is a symbolic framework used to understand the process of creation and the structure of the universe from a metaphysical perspective. Here are the key aspects of Adam Kadmon in the Qabalah:

Etymology and Symbolism

• Adam Kadmon: The term translates from Hebrew as "Primordial Man" or "Original Man."
• Symbolic Representation: Adam Kadmon is not a literal human but a metaphorical construct symbolizing the first emanation of divine light and the blueprint of all creation.

Role in Creation

• Emanation of Divine Light: According to Qabalistic thought, before the physical universe was created, there was an emanation of divine light from the Ein Sof (Infinite). Adam Kadmon is the first expression or manifestation of this divine light.
• Blueprint of the Universe: Adam Kadmon is seen as the template or cosmic blueprint from which all subsequent worlds and beings are fashioned. It represents the highest level of the soul and the spiritual universe.

Structure and Sefirot/Sephiroth

• Sefirotic/Sephirotic Tree: Adam Kadmon encompasses the ten sefirot, which are the attributes or emanations through which the divine light is channeled into the creation of the cosmos. These sephiroth are arranged in a structure that mirrors the human form, with each sephira corresponding to a different part of the body.
  • Keter (Crown): The head
  • Chokhmah (Wisdom) and Binah (Understanding): The left and right hemispheres of the brain
  • Da'at (Knowledge): The throat
  • Chesed (Kindness) and Gevurah (Severity): The right and left arms
  • Tiferet (Beauty): The torso
  • Netzach (Eternity) and Hod (Splendor): The right and left legs
  • Yesod (Foundation): The genitalia
  • Malkhut (Kingship): The feet

Mystical and Esoteric Interpretations

• Unifying Principle: Adam Kadmon is considered the point where the divine and the human intersect. It represents the highest potential of human spiritual development and the ideal state of unity with the divine.
• Symbol of Perfection: As the original, perfect human, Adam Kadmon serves as a model for the perfected human soul striving to return to its divine source.

Influence and Legacy

• Western Esotericism: The concept of Adam Kadmon has influenced various strands of Western esoteric traditions, including Hermeticism, Theosophy, and modern mysticism.
• Anthropos: In Gnostic and other mystical traditions, a similar archetypal figure, often called Anthropos or the Heavenly Man, shares attributes with Adam Kadmon, representing the ideal or divine human.

Adam Kadmon is a profound and complex symbol in the Qabalah, encapsulating the divine plan for creation, the structure of the cosmos, and the potential for human spiritual ascent.

The Thoth 10 of Disks card represents the sum of the other 35 minor arcana (Aces are not considered Minor Cards as they are the "seeds" of the Minors) since wealth is a synchronicity of mind, body, and soul. This card indicates that by using your communication skills (Mercury symbols on top three coins) and linking them with your healing abilities (the caduceus on the bottom coin) while listening to your inspiration (the Thoth star coins) you will be able to manifest abundance (the three Hebrew symbols for abundance coins-bottom center).

Mercury is considered the ruling planet of Virgo, and when it is placed in the house of Virgo in a natal chart, it can have a considerable influence on one's communication style, intellect, and analytical abilities. Here are some characteristics of Mercury in the house of Virgo:

1. Analytical and Detail-Oriented: Virgo is known for its meticulous and analytical nature. When Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, is in Virgo, it enhances these qualities. Individuals with this placement tend to pay attention to details and have a keen eye for precision.

2. Practical Communication: Virgo is an earth sign, emphasizing practicality. Mercury in Virgo individuals communicate in a grounded and practical manner. They prefer clear and straightforward communication, often focusing on the essential facts.

3. Organized Thinking: Mercury in Virgo promotes organized and systematic thinking. These individuals excel at breaking down complex ideas into manageable parts, making it easier for them to understand and communicate effectively.

4. Critical Thinkers: Virgo is associated with critical thinking, and when Mercury is in this sign, individuals may possess a discerning mind. They can analyze situations objectively, identifying flaws or areas for improvement.

5. Service-Oriented Communication: Virgo is also linked to service and helping others. Those with Mercury in Virgo may find satisfaction in providing practical advice or offering assistance through their communicative skills.

6. Health Consciousness: Virgo governs health and well-being. Mercury in Virgo individuals may express their communicative abilities in areas related to health, wellness, or even medical fields. They might be interested in sharing information about holistic practices or practical health tips.

7. Precise Expression: Mercury in Virgo individuals are precise and careful in their expression. They choose words deliberately, aiming for clarity and accuracy in their communication. This can make them effective communicators in various settings.

It's important to consider the entire birth chart and the aspects of other planets to get a comprehensive understanding of an individual's astrological profile.

The Lost Soul Tarot-10 of Pentacles illustrates a plethora of ten golden pentacles. Since there is no obvious occult meaning in this card the image and number supply the completion of wealth. The implication here is that you have established financial security and long-term success! Hence, you may have domestic bliss or a long and successful career. The caveat here is that to be wealthy and prosperous, you must share your wealth to help others achieve their wealth!

Presented here is the key to enjoying your success and wealth without the fear of losing it. In fact, true abundance should be owned by you, and not you by it. Therefore, a wealthy person promotes prosperity by sharing their wealth. Invest some of it in others such as, in future generations of one's family including the "family of humankind". Since you have earned it, you can always earn more by investing in "others", as that path has been made open to your travel by your very own effort to clear the way. The primary meaning of this card is a successful long-term business and family support created by wisdom, harmony, and inheritance. This also represents complete stability in family affairs.

As stated, the Astrological sign for the Thoth 10 of Disks card is Mercury in Virgo. Mercury is the representative planet for communication and organizational skills. Virgo is the sign of prosperity and abundance manifested in a tangible way. The 10 of Disks/10 of Pentacles card indicates that all 10 of your intelligent states of energy called the Psyche, (The 10 Sephiroth of the Tree of Life) contribute to a balanced flow of healing, communication, and organizational skills all accumulating to active function on the physical plane. Your Spirit-Mind and Body are manifesting abundance. Obviously, this is a card of prosperity and obviously, it will change, but for now eat, drink and be merry and express your gratitude. We should also understand that wealth becomes prosperity when we spend/share it as our wealth prospers others and thus sharing is also a form of communication and accumulation.

To reiterate, MALKUTH is Earth that is also called the Active Word and/or Assiah.

It is the lone Sephiroth of this Manifested World. In the other Worlds of the Qabalistic Tree of Life, there are 3 Sephiroth composing a Triangle/Plane, but Assiah/Malkuth stands alone, for it is the completion of all the other States of Energy Conscious. It is the Only Sensual Activity of intimate Creation, and it is now the end and nowhere else to go but up. However, Mercury, who is Thoth in Crowley/Harris Tarot is not one to stand around and form a clot, like matter is known to do. So, in the 10 of Disks we see the invocation of Mercury in the 10 coins. Also, the 1st Sephiroth in the Tree of Life is Kether, whose God name is Eheieh-meaning: "I Will Be". The 10th Sephiroth is Malkuth- the fulfillment of that declaration of "I Will Be" by becoming the Material World of "I AM Being"!

1. Kether- this top coin displays the astrological sign of Mercury.
2. Chokmah- Here is the Magus, a symbol of Mercury, complete with the right-angle positions of ATU 1.
3. Binah-shows the alchemical symbol of Mercury, her impregnator.
4. Chessed- illustrates Pa, the Enochian equivalent of the letter "B", which is the Hebrew letter Beth that is associated with the Magus/Mercury.
5. Geburah-the letter Beth, which is "House".
6. Tiphareth- the name of Raphael in Hebrew. Raphael is the ruling Angel of Mercury. 
7. Netzach- Mercury's 8-pointed star.
8. Hod- displays the hexagram within the hexagon, symbol of the Sun (all elemental forces are exhausted in Malkuth, the Sun is the only possibility of energy projection in the elemental impasse.)
9. Yesod- is shown with the *Pythagorean Tetractys (see below).
10. Malkuth-Here be the Caduceus of Mercury. Harris artfully created it from the 3 mother letters of the Hebrew alphabet. 

The Thoth 10 of Disks, forms a Tetractys of the decad. The tetractys (Greek: τετρακτύς), or tetrad, or the tetractys of the decad (a group of ten) is a triangular figure consisting of ten points arranged in four rows: one, two, three, and four points in each row, which is the geometrical representation of the fourth triangular number. As a mystical symbol, it was especially important to the secret worship of Pythagoreanism. There were four seasons, and the number was also associated with planetary motions and music. In truth, the 10 of Disks represents a melody of the invisible conjoined with the visible and composed from harmonic wisdom.

The Astrologers assign Mercury the God of commerce, as the ruler of the sign Virgo. Thus, this placement is often called an embarras de richesses, as material gain here is so vast, that it often loses importance. This vast materiality is shown on the Thoth 10 of Disks, as the whole Tree of Life, all 10 Sephira, as Disks decorated with the various symbols of Mercury. Truth being, that the Whole Tree of Life is dedicated to this Manifested world; it is the Goal Achieved, by the Conscious of the Divine Creative. Our purpose as physical Spirits and or operators of the Master Power Tools, (the God Body) the Human body, is to establish, the "As above, so below”, i.e. The Qabalistic Great Work. However, a 10 is a 1+0, and shall return to the 1- Magus (who is Mercury/Thoth) and begins again as an Ace which is a new seed.

As energy that is Spiral (spirit), we are "everywhere and nowhere" at the very moment of "I", a kind of diffusion into eternity of the Universal Collective Unconscious. But with a "God-Mind" body (Hu-Man/Adam Khadmon) I Am -can focus sensually on one "moment" in the Time Space continuum, giving the psyche not only the "sense of presence" but the ability to immediately discriminate and/or discern life- motion! In other words----"freedom of Choice" to weave a harmony of frequency that is "Self", which simply means free to move by perspective chosen and not by the permission of false outer authority.

Therefore, the Mercury, that messenger that I Am finds it very fulfilling to be able to have a "sense of presence" and move about sensually while also evolving via perspective while fulfilling the will of Eheieh (Kether: "I Will Be"). To be able to do so is indeed a gift, an inheritance, and a sensual-Mental-Spiritual Wealth that mere Ideas do not normally experience in the vast Mind of the Universal Divine Collective. However, that Will to be is fulfilled by you! The" I Am" created the "Me" which supplies intimacy with Creation so necessary for in-form-action and/or experience. The body also generates sensual contact with One's dream of "Self" allowing one to be intimate with all that is Mind and/or creation. That is an amazing wealth to any creator. For knowledge is power/wealth and to sensually experience ideas of Self builds knowledge and accumulation of knowledge builds wisdom.

Money is not the root of all evil, fear of not having it is!

It's time we realized that we are the "Sacred Place in Time Space"! We, as Spiral Entity (Spirits) have inherited the Earth, not because we are bad or lustful (The Lust cloud of Goddess- God-bio-photons in passionate embrace built us!) We are the accumulated Wealth of Creation--made alive and sensual! The Divine Creative’s Self Experience (Self Awareness) built us as a Solution-to the Shadow side of the Unconscious Mind--- not a problem! We solve the problem of how to focus intense energy (motion) to a point in time space, to nullify entropy (shadow) and be able to deconstruct and reconstruct idea right at the time and place of "seeing/sensing an error"!

The “I Am” is the Image-maker, who can recreate the theory of image by using our "Child of God" union card, I-Magi-Nation number "10"! Imagination is the "Holy Grail", the enclosure that builds form and rationale puts form to measurement (manifestation). We are indeed the wealthiest of inheritors, especially if we skillfully know ourselves as Willed Imagination of Divine Self Awareness!

For those who don't know, 10 is 1+0=1, in Qabalistic gematria which simply means The First Sephira - Kether, The Above enlightenment, that we bring to the below! In other words, we don't have a goal, we are the Goal, an intimate bridge between the Creator and Creation! Therefore, we are Lust without the "Need of result"; being is the result of our Lust! Lust being the Divine Frenzy of vigorous energy of "I Will Be" that is the rhythmic vibration in all things that "Live"!

What makes this even better is that we, each alone, are our own Tree of Life/Universe; but this is not known to you until you have established a mercurial communication middle pillar with your Holy Guardian Angel/Higher-Self! Each of us must be the Magus that came to earth to magically control " a point in time", as the Sun (Energy-in-motion- consciousness) of the Divine Creative's "Will to Be". Information must become in-form-action before it becomes knowledge. Hence, you are the in-form-action of the Divine Creative- you are the I Am.

In gematria, the number 10 carries significant symbolic meanings, both in traditional Jewish mysticism and in broader esoteric traditions. Here's an overview of its characteristics:

Symbolism

   • The number 10 embodies both unity and duality. It starts with 1, representing unity and the divine, and ends with 0, representing potential and the infinite. Together, they symbolize the unity of creation and the return to the source.

2. Pythagorean Perspective:

   • Pythagoreans regarded 10 (the Tetractys) as the perfect number, representing the sum of the first four numbers (1+2+3+4=10). This sum signifies harmony and the foundational structure of the universe.

Cultural and Historical References

1. Ten Plagues:

   • In the biblical narrative, the ten plagues of Egypt symbolize divine intervention and judgment, leading to the liberation of the Israelites.

2. Ten Days of Repentance:
