Book excerpt: The chief agency in the formation of our sun and solar system is the metaphysical paradox that as “cooling causes contraction, and contraction causes heat, cooling causes heat.” The Parabrahman and Mulaprakriti of the Vedantins are the prototypes of the Ain-Soph and Shekhinah of the Kabbalists. Aditi is the original of Sephirah, and the Prajāpatis are the elder brothers of the Sephirah. The Aum of the Hindus had become Aιών with the Greeks, and Aevum with the Romans — the Pan or All. There is but one Law, one Principle, one Agent, one Truth, one Word. Athenians, the real barbarians of Hellas, charged Æschylus with sacrilege and condemned him to be stoned to death because, they claimed, having been uninitiated, he had profaned the Mysteries by exposing them in his trilogies on a public stage. But he would have incurred the same condemnation, had he been initiated. Anointed by the Great Breath, Higher Manas is crucified between two thieves: the lower (Chrēstos), i.e., impure tendencies that after death dissipate in Kama-Loka, and the highest and noblest elements of our spiritual soul (Christos). After the supreme Initiation, Christos is released from his mortal counterpart (Chrēstos), and the two merge into one — the glorified Elect of the Sun. The Rota of Enoch is now called the Taro of Enoch. The Taro, denounced by a Papal Bull as “an invention of Hell,” contains the mystery of all transmutations of “historical personages” into sidereal bodies and vice versa. Even Marquis de Mirville is bent upon finding a Satanic origin even for the innocent Taro! Abrahm (no-Brahman), was Brahmā, the Chaldaean Father of ancient nations. Abram and Brahmā are equivalent in numerical value. More! The English system of measurement is the same as that used by the ancient Egyptians in the construction of their Pyramids. Every god and hero in ancient Pantheons has three biographies, running parallel with each other, and each connected with one of the aspects of the hero — historical, astronomical, and mythical. Localities are also made to correspond with astronomical and even with psychic events. History was thus made captive by ancient Mystery, to become later the great Sphinx of our times. The prototypes of nearly all the biblical personages can be found in the Ancient Pantheon of India. It is the “Sons of Light,” who gave birth to the “Sons of Earth,” the Patriarchs. The Old Testament was milked out of the most ingenious brains of Hebrew Kabbalists, partly in Egypt and partly in Babylonia. The connecting link between Abraham and Enoch’s Taro. Astronomically, Abraham is the sun-measure and a portion of the sun, while Enoch is the solar year, as much as are Hermes or Thoth. Numerically, Thoth is the equivalent of Moses or Hermes, the lord of the lower realms, also esteemed as a teacher of wisdom. The Zohar teaches practical Occultism more than any other work on that subject, not as it is translated and commented upon by its various critics, but with the secret signs on its margins. The “Wheel” of Enoch was the first attempt at symbology, invented in humanity’s Third Root-Race (Lemurian). There are two taros: the “Wheel” of Enoch, purely Esoteric, and the Western Kabbalistical tarot remodelled by Semites, a branch so much younger than the Aryans and even the Hamites.
