Above all things, know thyself!

# 3. Filled with Understanding of its perfect law, I am guided, moment by moment, along the path of liberation.

The Thoth 3 of Disks-Works represents endurance, strong physical determination, and tenacity. This is the ability to give the "works" to what you want--- just like a hamburger simile "with the works". This is the card of nobility; that of trade, skilled labor, renown, and glory.

The pyramid on the Thoth card symbolizes focused power as commitment and priority. The blue light surrounding the pyramid states the capacity for clarity; clarity about what you will or will not give your energy, mind, and body too. In other words, “the Works".

The gray waves in the background represent confusion; However, this confusion has been broken through by the lighted pyramid of clear intention, clarity of priorities and commitments. The 3 red wheels represent the alignment of spirit-mind-body and are the color of Geburah/ Mars/Aries, whose forces are behind this ternary action. Whatever you are doing...give it the Works!

The astrological sign of Mars in Capricorn adorns this card, as Mars is the planet of activity, energy, vitality, and assertion. Capricorn represents the assertion of Spirit-(Will)-Mind-(Psyche) and Body-Action with focused intention moving in the same direction of a tangible and secure manifestation. Also, Mars in Capricorn is the celestial ruler of this card. Placing Mars in its most exalted state. Therefore, when linked to Capricorn, the Martian energy is constructive, and he is an exceptional builder and engineer.

To the Universal Self (The Macrocosmic I AM), "The Works" is Life Itself so when we align our body and Soul/Solar self. and action towards priorities, commitments and/or what we wish to give "the works" to----we align with Universal Priorities which can enhance all that we are determined to do. All we must do is focus, and begin with what we have, then the Universal Priority of "I Will BE", will accelerate us towards our goal.

This card also represents the influence of Binah-the 3rd Sephiroth (Mother-Goddess) in the physical world. The 3 of Disks also represents trade, skilled labor, physical persistence, tenacity, endurance, and strong determination to get the job done. For the Alchemist and Qabalist Works represents the combinations of mercury, sulfur, and salt or the Hebrew material letters Aleph (air), Mem (water) and Shin (fire). Also illustrated on this Thoth card is the pyramid of crystallized forces rising out of the Great Sea of Binah (Universal Collective Unconscious).

Since this card represents the Divine Ability and our inherited ability to create material manifestation, it reminds us that we must keep heart and soul involved in our creativity to manifest our ideals: in other words, love what you do and do what you love! Love allows us to see our dreams as children to be born and go about paying attention to detail and dedicate our heart and soul towards this goal. This is the love of being, to nurture our dream into fruition. To those who love creating---expressing their soul into material creation, diligence is the only time limit because they love the act of creating more than the goal attained. Such people are in -tune with the Great Work which is "As Above, so Below". It is not what you become that is important, it is being the whole of you that whole is important towards transforming an energetic presence. Living the Now, as a trinity of Spirit-Mind-Body, is better than hoping to be living a future fantasy---which is a mental liquid that only swirls to the currents of your present e-motion!

Qabalists know the Triangle/Trinity that begins all birth as many combinations of 3. Maid-Mother-and Crone, each a special perspective on Womb-rite of Ocean-Rain-and River, united with Father-Son- and Holy Spirit, rite of Phallus-Sun-Energy, each a process of Life or Ocean-Sun-and Earth and each an active part of the stable foundation of the Mind, which is made up of The Universal Collective Unconscious, (The Spirit Mind of Universal Unconscious) subconscious (brain) and awake- conscious (representative of the soul/psyche). I can go on and on about the O that equals 2, whose union produces 3, but in all cases, fertilization is achieved, and a child can be born when all 3 are aligned in agreement.

For instance:

1. The 3 of Wands is called Virtue, and/or The Lord of Virtue (Husbandry), for in this state of conscious energy, the idea of will and dominion has become interpreted in Character.
2. The 3 of Cups is called Abundance and/or the Lord of Abundance where the idea of Love has come to fruition. The 3's on the Tree of Life are where we begin seeing definite differentiation between the suits, giving birth to the idea of division----so that "many can be made from the One who is 3/Trinity".
3. The idea of division, of mutability, which is the "airy' quality of things, is made manifest in the 3 of Swords. The 3 of Swords is named SORROW Not the vulgar sorrow of individual discontent or disappointment but the Sorrow of the Dark Binah, and of the Dark Isis. In German, this great sorrow is called Weltschmerz, the universal sorrow. It is the quality of Melancholy. I find it easier to understand the 3 of Swords by understanding the Great Mother's sorrow over her seeing the Bright Shimmering Beauty of Her Children and because of "freedom of choice", unable to intervene when watching her children become ugly in their own minds as they identify themselves as monsters. All of which happens when fear is the foundation of our ideas/identity rather than Love.
4. The 3 of Disks (Pentacles) exhibits the crystallization/coagulation of forces, which is the idea of Earth. There is an obvious manifestation of Work having been done. This is also often called the Great Work and/or the invisible Life forced creating the Alive. This may make more sense to you if you remember that the “other side of the Mirror", is the Dark Place where Life is the Supernal Triangle of the Tree of Life, and the Alive are the Child (Knowledge) made manifest from this Union of Conscious Energy (Willed Forces), that combine to make the Crystallization/Coagulation of Light on the Reflective side of the Mirror! This conceptualization of a two-sided mirror goes far in explaining why "Mirror Magic' is so often used to ensure manifestation of idea into a "living expression". 

A lot has been said, but few understand that the body is merely a Reflection, of your I AM; the invisible you who is most of the Self. (You are 99.6% space). It is in the Dark, warmth, of your "infinite light" (Spirit) that all Life comes from (infinity can't be seen, as it has no measurement, and therefore, "dark"). The body is Alive, is not Life (All is Mind-Alive is a reflection), as it is the reflected-condensed version of, I AM Me; Me being an assumption! As stated, the body reflects what the I Am defines as Life/Self. Think well from your deep dark places and own your "shadow" with love and harmonize its motion with that of the light that you are. This harmony of motion is necessary to be Alive and Well!

It pays to remember this axiom, “Do unto another as you would have done to you."...for that is a Triangle of 3---Idea, Cause, and effect. It is unbreakable in its stability. So, it pays to know what your ideas create. If you identify "Others" instead of "Another’s" (everyone I see is Another way to be Me.) you will keep lessening yourself until your life force can no longer sustain the body health and balance. Hence, to think less of others is to lessen yourself and is a practice of black magic which destroys the practitioner.

Your thoughts, ideas, and opinions only affect the Cause of Your self- Identity. Your Reflection in the outside world is from your deeply held inner emotional thoughts, which are the first material the mind works with, into "aliveness". If those deeply held emotions are darkness and fear, your life will become putrid. Your body is the only one who feels/receives your thoughts as animation and then must enact them when they are emoted. Hence, the cause of the effect you call "lifetime", is the Identity you call yourself.

We are not responsible for how "others" react to us; We are, however, the response and/or the reaction to our own thought! Others are just another way to be Divine; Children of the Sun who have the Goddess given Freedom of Choice; gifted Divine Children, who have a right to their own identities, be they ill or well thought out.

For only by experiencing error to do we find correction, and only by correction do we become wise. Love is a form of intelligence as it is both wise and understanding---not the act of a divided simpleton created by the Media Word Hypnosis of the social egregore but of a Powerful ternary whole Spirit Being who is Spirit-Mind-Body; To Love Being----is to be love.

Therefore, the wise among us know that to be able to "think" means you are not the effect called Thought, but the Cause of it. The I Am is the truth, what I am is all assumption. So, my thoughts aren't "my precious", they are the cause that affects the Alive and hopefully are ordered enough to work effectively.

Thoughts are not made of stone, knowing this I then have the Knowledge to make, and remake thought to improve the function of my body, rather than think that I am the thought I think and must errantly defend those thoughts to the death. Thoughts must be ordered and focused on an intent (given the works); besides, the "me" is supposed to die (Transform back to organic matter) for it is measured and we control measurement as life/death (inhale-exhale), both of which are inseparable while also being the motor behind the transformation of the Alive.

The Spirit-Mind union knows that Self-Reflection requires bodies! To make Thought Sensual, is necessary to create a screening process of discernment and/or experience. We are a creative Spirit-Mind who can devote our thought controlled “time/space" to "expanding and liberating" the Body from the survival thinking of the animal domain, i.e., the False Ego. This in turn expands and liberates self-awareness! By the feelings of Love or Fear generated by the Communion of idea with a sensual- living laboratory where ideas become experimental processes that either free the body from the past or bind it to the illusions of the past.

Idea alone is not enough to properly operate the Alive! Life depends on the Threesome of the Divine Wedding, which is the triangle made of Idea, the Union of Wisdom, Understanding and Action to create the Beautiful Bright Child called knowledge which when intimately experienced becomes in-form-action and/or experienced knowledge and/or Wisdom!

When you understand the 3's, you begin to understand your inherited Godhood.

In gematria, the number 3 holds significant characteristics and symbolic meanings across various traditions, particularly in Jewish mysticism, numerology, and Western esoteric practices. Here are some of the key characteristics and symbolic attributes of the number 3:

1. Balance and Harmony:

   • The number 3 often represents balance and harmony, as it is seen as the synthesis of dualities. In many mystical traditions, it represents the unification of opposites, forming a harmonious whole.

2. Divine Completeness:

   • In Jewish mysticism, the number 3 is considered to signify completeness and perfection, often associated with the divine. It symbolizes the threefold nature of divinity, such as the three patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) in the Hebrew Bible.

3. Creativity and Expression:

   • The number 3 is frequently linked to creativity, self-expression, and communication. It embodies the principle of growth and expansion, encouraging artistic and communicative endeavors.

4. Spiritual Awareness:

   • In Western esoteric traditions, the number 3 is associated with spiritual awareness and the unfolding of spiritual consciousness. It is often seen as a symbol of the spiritual journey, representing stages of development and enlightenment.

5. Triads and Trinities:

   • The concept of triads or trinities is central to the symbolism of the number 3. This can be seen in various religious and philosophical contexts, such as the Christian Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), the Hindu Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva), and the three gunas (sattva, rajas, tamas) in Hindu philosophy.

6. Manifestation and Realization:

   • The number 3 is associated with the process of manifestation and realization. In many mystical traditions, it represents the transition from potential to actual, embodying the principle of bringing ideas or spiritual concepts into tangible form.

7. Numerical and Alphabetic Representation:

   • In Hebrew gematria, the number 3 is represented by the letter Gimel (ג). This letter is often associated with the concepts of kindness and nourishment, as well as the idea of movement and progression.

8. Symbolic Figures:

   • The number 3 is often seen in symbolic figures and sacred geometry, such as the triangle. The triangle is a potent symbol representing stability, strength, and the connection between the physical and spiritual realms.

By understanding these characteristics, one can gain deeper insights into the symbolic and mystical significance of the number 3 in various esoteric traditions.

The view of the Thoth card is that of a pyramid as seen from above its apex. The three wheeled base represents the three Mother Letters of the Hebrew alphabet, Aleph (Air), Shin (Fire), and Mem (Water) or the alchemical system of Mercury, Sulphur (old English spelling), and Salt. If you are of the Hindu persuasion, the three wheels represent the Three Gunas, Rajas, Sattva, and Tamas.

Qualities of the three gunas

To a Qabalist, the Great Work is to make the "As above, so below", which is a process of "Above all things, know thyself", all of which is achieved by remembering the Spiritual journey "down" the Tree of Life (Lightning path) by consciously traveling "back up" (Serpent path) and thus opening our personalities to the Great Personality that began this process of Macrocosm to Microcosm condensation of I AM Me. To "Remember thyself", is to know your divinity, not just believing in it. Therefore, part of the Great Work is to establish a "Knowing Evolutionary" state of “expanding and liberating" the animal brain from subconscious survival thinking limits that keep it from Wisdom. To a Qabalist, Wisdom is the ability to "create-see error-and correct it", for we know that Wisdom is 50% error, and 50% correction; to the animal brain to make error is feared as a survival blunder thus keeping it from progressing emotionally as it lives in fear of past mistakes, never approaching wisdom. The wise know that we must make mistakes when creating in a "cause and effect" universe, as entropy is part of all material creation. Entropy (called "evil" by the ancients"), is always seeking to "proceed from order to disorder (2^nd law of Thermodynamics), and the Universal solution to that chaos, is to keep up motion by constantly changing/transforming identity. In other words, "to expand and liberate" creation from previous boundaries.

If you know yourself at all, you will know that the Human Being is the Solution to conscious limitations. We have the "Mind of Creatrix/Creator", often called Imagination and rationale; Imagination is what I call "the Womb with a view” who has created Time/Space by Understanding "form", rationale adds measurement to imagination so that it becomes architecture. Thus, when linked with our Source, we can see beyond our senses, we can plot and give birth to futures. We are the inheritors of visionary sight and thereby, see beyond the entropy of the moment.

Rationale means to "add measurement " (ratio) to manifest idea into an ordered "life". To know thyself, is to know that the moment doesn't contain you and that it is just a moment of assumption, whereas you, are a Master of Time /Space and have the power to change moments/assumptions, just by perspective or observation alone. Therefore, by controlling and understanding thoughts of "I AM", one can change their future and become the "Great Work" of "As above, so Below"!

I Am the Divine Spirit who seeks intimacy through flesh to unite with the great Work of Divine Creative Self-Awareness!

However, even the rich symbols of Western Hermetic Mysteries and Tarot cannot act for you. They are just signposts to a destination you must willfully walk. Spirit is Willed Action the body is reaction; Hence the Will of Spiritual/Solar Self must operate the body to do the Great Work. That is why many of us proceed with Ritual Magick and daily action. mentally, emotionally, and physically to align the Spirit-Mind-Body Trinity of the Great Work.

The concept of the Great Work is central to Aleister Crowley's philosophy and the Western Hermetic tradition. It represents the spiritual journey of self-realization, enlightenment, and union with the divine. Here’s an elaboration of what the Great Work entails:

The Great Work in Hermeticism

1. Personal Transformation:

   • The Great Work begins with the process of inner alchemy—transforming the base elements of the self (lead) into the divine essence (gold). This involves refining the ego, integrating the unconscious, and achieving spiritual maturity.
   • In psychological terms, it aligns with individuation, where the individual comes into harmony with their higher self.

2. Union with the Divine:

   • The ultimate goal of the Great Work is the attainment of Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. This represents communion with one's higher genius or divine self.
   • Beyond this, the adept seeks to dissolve their individual consciousness into the universal divine, often called crossing the Abyss in Crowley's terminology, where one achieves unity with the All.

3. Service to the Cosmos:

   • The Great Work is not solely for personal attainment; it also contributes to the cosmic order. By perfecting oneself, the adept becomes a channel for divine will, aiding the evolution of humanity and the universe.

The 3 of Disks and the Great Work

In the Thoth Tarot, the 3 of Disks (Works) reflects the manifestation of the Great Work on a practical, material level. It emphasizes structured effort, collaboration, and the alignment of one's actions with a higher purpose. Here’s how it ties into the Great Work:

• Material Manifestation: The card represents the initial steps in building something enduring and meaningful, symbolic of laying the foundation for the Great Work in the material world.
• Harmonized Effort: The three wheels in the card often signify the unity of will, intention, and action—essential components for undertaking the Great Work.
• Collaboration: This card reminds us that the Great Work often involves cooperation with others or with the universal forces. It’s about balancing the spiritual with the practical.

Crowley’s Perspective on the Great Work

Crowley saw the Great Work as both a deeply personal journey and a universal mandate. In The Book of Thoth, he writes that the Great Work is not just spiritual aspiration but also “the proper activity of the life of the individual in relation to the Universe.”

The 3 of Disks, as Works, reflects the methodical and disciplined effort required to align one’s life with the will of the divine (Thelema, in Crowley's philosophy). It also symbolizes the mastery of the three worlds: material (Assiah), formative (Yetzirah), and creative (Briah) realms, leading to spiritual realization in the archetypal world (Atziluth).

To summarize, the Great Work is a journey of spiritual enlightenment and divine union, and the 3 of Disks serves as a reminder of the practical effort and disciplined structure required to bring this lofty ideal into tangible reality.

When Mars is placed in the zodiac sign of Capricorn and occupies a particular house in an individual's birth chart, it influences the person's energy, drive, assertiveness, and ambitions in specific areas of life represented by that house. Here are the general characteristics of Mars in the house of Capricorn:

1. Ambition and Drive: Mars in Capricorn enhances ambition and drive, especially regarding career goals and long-term aspirations. Individuals with this placement are determined, focused, and willing to work hard to achieve success and recognition in their chosen field.

2. Discipline and Persistence: Capricorn is a sign associated with discipline, structure, and persistence. Mars here imbues individuals with a strong sense of responsibility and a willingness to endure challenges and setbacks in pursuit of their objectives.

3. Strategic Action: Mars in Capricorn tends to take a strategic approach to action. These individuals carefully plan their moves, weighing the risks and benefits before taking decisive steps forward. They prefer to channel their energy into endeavors that promise tangible and long-lasting results.

4. Authority and Leadership: Capricorn is a sign associated with authority and leadership. Mars here gives individuals a natural inclination to take charge and assume positions of responsibility. They excel in leadership roles where they can assert their authority and influence others through their actions.

5. Practicality and Efficiency: With Mars in Capricorn, there's a practical and efficient approach to achieving goals. These individuals prioritize tasks, focus on what needs to be done, and are adept at managing their time and resources effectively to maximize productivity.

6. Reserved Expression of Energy: Capricorn is not an overtly expressive sign, and Mars here may manifest as a more controlled and reserved expression of energy. These individuals may appear serious, focused, and determined, rather than impulsive or emotionally volatile.

7. Career Success: Mars in Capricorn individuals often find success in their careers and professional pursuits. They are willing to put in the necessary effort, overcome obstacles, and climb the proverbial ladder of success, achieving recognition and respect for their accomplishments.

8. Potential Challenges: While Mars in Capricorn can be highly productive and goal-oriented, there may be challenges related to overwork, burnout, or a tendency to prioritize career ambitions over other areas of life such as relationships or personal well-being. It's essential for individuals with this placement to find balance and avoid becoming overly consumed by their professional endeavors.

These are general tendencies associated with Mars in Capricorn in a specific house of the birth chart. For a more personalized analysis, considering the house placement and any aspects to Mars from other planets would provide further insight into how this placement manifests in an individual's life.

There are several Western Hermetic rituals designed to enhance and align the individual’s journey with the Great Work. These rituals aim to purify the self, attune to divine energies, and integrate higher levels of consciousness. Below are some key rituals that can be used to deepen your personal journey:

1. The Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram (LRP)

The LRP is a foundational ritual in Western Hermetic practice. It is designed to cleanse the aura, banish negative energies, and align the practitioner with divine forces. Regular practice strengthens your connection to the divine and prepares you for deeper spiritual work.

Key Elements:

• Banishing Negativity: Removes distractions and harmful influences that may hinder progress in the Great Work.
• Centering the Self: Establishes a connection with your higher self through the divine names.
• Balance and Harmony: Balances the elemental forces within and around you.

2. The Middle Pillar Ritual

The Middle Pillar is a meditative and energetic ritual that activates the practitioner’s alignment with the Sephiroth of the Tree of Life. This ritual strengthens the connection between the lower self and higher self, facilitating the Great Work.

Key Elements:

• Invocation of Divine Light: Channels divine energy down through the Tree of Life, activating the chakras or spheres within the practitioner.
• Energetic Balance: Aligns and harmonizes the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the self.
• Preparation for Higher Work: Enhances the connection to the Holy Guardian Angel and opens the way for deeper spiritual progress.

3. The Ritual of the Hexagram

This ritual is often used to invoke or banish planetary influences and attune to macrocosmic forces. It is particularly useful for aligning the individual with their true will (Thelema) and the greater cosmic order.

Key Elements:

• Planetary Connection: Strengthens your alignment with the celestial forces governing your spiritual journey.
• Union with the Macrocosm: Helps bridge the gap between the individual (microcosm) and the universal divine (macrocosm).

4. Ritual of Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel

This is a central goal in many Hermetic and Thelemic traditions. Rituals to achieve this can be highly personal, but Aleister Crowley’s Liber Samekh is a well-known guide.

Key Elements:

• Intense Focus: The ritual requires unwavering devotion and concentration on the Holy Guardian Angel (HGA).
• Divine Guidance: Establishes a direct line of communication with the HGA, who serves as the guide for completing the Great Work.
• Integration of Will: Aligns the practitioner’s personal will with divine will.

5. Self-Initiation and Pathworking

Pathworking involves guided meditations and visualizations on the Sephiroth or Tarot archetypes to align your personal energy with the Tree of Life and the archetypal forces. For example, meditating on the 3 of Disks can help focus on disciplined effort and manifestation.

Key Elements:

• Symbolic Journey: Explore the Tree of Life, Tarot archetypes, or planetary spheres to gain insight and guidance.
• Personal Transformation: Each path or Sephirah worked on helps refine your soul and integrate higher wisdom.

6. Adoration to the Sun (Liber Resh vel Helios)

This ritual honors the solar forces at dawn, noon, sunset, and midnight, reflecting the cyclical nature of life and the Great Work.

Key Elements:

• Connection to the Sun: The Sun represents the divine source and higher self, serving as a constant reminder of spiritual aspiration.
• Rhythmic Devotion: Aligns your daily life with natural and cosmic cycles.

7. Personal Adaptations of the Great Work

A key aspect of the Great Work is self-exploration and customization of rituals. Incorporating elements such as journaling, Tarot divination, or specific invocations (e.g., to Binah for wisdom or Tiphereth for divine beauty) can create a personal ritual framework.

Practical Tips for Ritual Work

• Regular Practice: Consistency is vital. Incorporate these rituals into your daily or weekly routine.
• Sacred Space: Create an altar or dedicated space for your work.
• Record Keeping: Maintain a ritual journal to track insights and progress.

These rituals, practiced with intention and devotion, will enhance your alignment with the Great Work and facilitate profound spiritual growth.

I highly recommend the Middle Pillar Ritual to activate the chakric centers/energy centers in the body. This activation of will and energy will greatly enhance one's Great Work.

The Middle Pillar Ritual is a foundational practice in Western Hermeticism that aligns and activates the energy centers of the body, corresponding to the Sephiroth of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. It was introduced by Israel Regardie, inspired by the teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and is often used to build spiritual strength, balance energy, and deepen one’s connection to the divine.

Purpose of the Middle Pillar Ritual

1. Energy Activation: Awakens the divine energy within the practitioner.
2. Alignment: Aligns the physical, mental, and spiritual bodies with the divine light.
3. Connection to the Tree of Life: Anchors the energy of the Tree of Life into the body, acting as a microcosmic reflection of the macrocosm.
4. Preparation for Higher Work: Strengthens the connection to the Higher Self and prepares the practitioner for advanced spiritual or magical work.

Structure of the Ritual

The ritual involves visualizing and activating five points of light along the central axis of the body, corresponding to the five major Sephiroth on the Middle Pillar of the Tree of Life.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Preparation:

   • Stand facing east in a quiet, sacred space.
   • Perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LRP) to clear and purify the space.
   • Center yourself with a few deep breaths, grounding your awareness.

2. Invocation of Divine Light:

   • Visualize a brilliant white or golden light descending from above, representing divine energy from Kether, the Crown of the Tree of Life.

3. Vibrating the Divine Names: For each Sephirah, visualize a sphere of light forming at its corresponding location in your body. Vibrate the divine name associated with that Sephirah to activate it. Feel the vibration resonate through your entire being.

   • Kether (Crown, above the head):

     • Visualize a sphere of pure white brilliance forming just above your head.
     • Vibrate the divine name: Eheieh (Eh-HEY-yah).
     • Feel this light as the source of all creation, divine unity, and your Higher Self.

   • Da'ath (Throat/neck area):

     • Visualize a radiant sphere of light forming at the throat. (Although not a Sephirah, Da'ath is a mystical doorway to divine knowledge.)
     • Vibrate: YHVH Elohim (Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh Eh-loh-HEEM).
     • Feel this energy as communication and wisdom.

   • Tiphereth (Heart, center of the chest):

     • Visualize a golden sphere forming at the heart center.
     • Vibrate: YHVH Eloah ve-Da’ath (Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh Eh-loh-AH v'Dah-aht).
     • Experience this as beauty, harmony, and divine love.

   • Yesod (Pelvic area, just above the genitals):

     • Visualize a sphere of violet or silvery light forming at the lower abdomen.
     • Vibrate: Shaddai El Chai (Sha-DAI Ehl-KHAI).
     • Feel this as foundation, stability, and connection to the subconscious.

   • Malkuth (Feet, base of the body):

     • Visualize a sphere of golden or earthy light forming at your feet.
     • Vibrate: Adonai ha-Aretz (Ah-do-NAI ha-AH-retz).
     • Experience this as grounding, the connection to the physical world.

4. Column of Light:

   • After activating each Sephirah, visualize the spheres being connected by a vertical column of light running from Kether (above your head) to Malkuth (beneath your feet).
   • See this column as your personal link between the divine and the material, uniting all aspects of your being.

5. Circulation of Light:

   • Visualize the energy from the Middle Pillar flowing throughout your body in a circular motion.
   • Imagine it filling your aura with radiant, divine light, purifying and energizing you completely.

6. Closing:

   • When ready, allow the energy to settle into your body and aura.
   • Perform the Qabalistic Cross (optional) to seal the energy.
   • Express gratitude to the divine for the experience.

Symbolism of the Middle Pillar

1. Kether (Crown): Unity with the Divine, the source of all creation.
2. Da’ath (Throat): The gateway to divine knowledge and understanding.
3. Tiphereth (Heart): Balance, harmony, and the seat of the Higher Self.
4. Yesod (Foundation): The subconscious mind and the astral body.
5. Malkuth (Kingdom): Manifestation in the material world, the connection to Earth.

Benefits of the Ritual

• Energetic Alignment: Keeps your physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies in balance.
• Increased Awareness: Heightens sensitivity to divine energies and spiritual guidance.
• Protection: Builds a strong and vibrant aura, shielding you from negative influences.
• Spiritual Growth: Strengthens your connection to your Higher Self and accelerates progress on the path of the Great Work.

The Middle Pillar Ritual is both simple and profound. Regular practice allows the practitioner to anchor divine energy, creating a solid foundation for advanced mystical and magical endeavors. Let me know if you'd like a visualization guide or tips for integrating it into your practice!
