The Hebrew Letter NunVerses 105 to 112 from Psalm 119 begin with Nun: נר־לרגלי דברך ואור לנתיבתי׃ נשבעתי ואקימה לשמר משפטי צדקך׃ נעניתי עד־מאד יהוה חיני כדברך׃ נדבות פי רצה־נא יהוה ומשפטיך למדני׃ נפשי בכפי תמיד ותורתך לא שכחתי׃ נתנו רשעים פח לי ומפקודיך לא תעיתי׃ נחלתי עדותיך לעולם כי־ששון לבי המה׃ נטיתי לבי לעשות חקיך לעולם עקב׃
Arcanum 14From Esoteric Course of Alchemical Kabbalah by Samael Aun Weor
Beloved disciples, let us now study the Fourteenth Arcanum of the Tarot. It is convenient to state that the profound wisdom of this Arcanum is classically divided into three parts:
Let us study each of these separately. 1. TransmutationIn the fourteenth Arcanum, there appears an angel with the sun on his forehead. If we observe the angel will see that he has the square and the triangle of Gnostic esotericism on his vesture. The Angel has a cup in each hand and mixes the substances of both cups together. One cup has the white elixir and the other the red elixir. The Elixir of Long Life is the outcome of the intelligent mixture of these two substances. When the septenary man is sexually united with the septenary woman, the sum is the fourteenth Arcanum of the Tarot. Moreover, it is important to state that both the man and the woman have seven principles and that the most important and the fastest center of the human being is the sexual center.
The process of creating a new being (the true human being) is performed within the laws of the musical octaves. The seven notes of the musical scale are the foundation of all creation. If we transmute the creative energy, we initiate a new octave in the Ethereal World, whose outcome is the birth of To-Soma-Puchicon (the wedding garment of the soul). We can consciously penetrate all of the departments of the Kingdom with this vehicle. A third octave will permit us to engender the true Astral Body, the Astral Christ (the Christic Astral Body). When reaching these heights, the old astral, the phantom, is left reduced to an empty shell, which, little by little, will be disintegrated. A fourth octave permits us to engender the Christ Mind. This vehicle gives us true wisdom and unity of thought. Only the one who engenders the Christ Mind has the right to say, "I have a Mental Body." The present Mental Body is only a phantom-like-shaped body. This phantom-like-shaped mind really converts itself into an empty shell when the true Mind is born. Then, the old mental carcass is disintegrated and reduced to cosmic dust. In the fifth musical octave, the true Causal Body is engendered. When reaching this height, we incarnate the Soul, then, we have a real existence. Before this moment, we do not have a real existence.
Work with the Prostatic/Uterine ChakraImmediately after finishing the daily work with the Arcanum A.Z.F., the Alchemist should lie down in the dorsal decubitus position (facing up); he/she must work with his/her Prostatic/Uterine Chakra. This is a very important Chakra in high magic. The Alchemist must inhale the vital air, then retain the breath and in those moments direct the nervous currents towards the Prostate/Uterus with the intension of closing the sphincters that exits between the seminal vessels and the urethra. The effort of sending the electro-magnetic currents must be similar to the supreme effort that a woman does when giving birth. The woman moans in those moments, in other words, her larynx emits the moaning sound of the letter “M.” Krumm Heller stated that initiation must start with the letter “M” and “S”. If we want to be born in the internal worlds, then we must also utter the sound of the letter “M” (as when one moans). It is about being born and we must be born. Thereafter we slowly exhale, we wait for the breath to naturally return to us and we inhale, we mentally pump the creative energy and make it rise through the two canals Ida and Pingala to the Chalice (the Brain). We continue repeating the exercise.
Imagination and WillpowerImagination is feminine and willpower is masculine. When we work with the Prostatic/Uterine chakra we must unite these two powers in an Alchemical Wedding in order to promote the ascension of the creative energy. We do this first through the sympathetic chords of the physical body; second through the sympathetic chords of the ethereal body; third through the sympathetic chords of the body of desires; fourth through the sympathetic chords of the mental body; fifth through the sympathetic chords of the causal body. Advanced students must carry the creative energy even to the Ain Soph.
HeartAfter a certain time of practice, students must learn how to direct their creative energy from their brain to their heart; the Fourteenth Arcanum is the Arcanum of Temperance.
2. Transformation (shapeshifting)In Jinn State, a body can shapeshift easily. Circe shapeshifted men into pigs; legend states that Apuleyus shapeshifted himself into an Ass. To manage shapeshifting the following Latin Mantras are used: “EST SIT, ESTO, FIAT.” Only while in a Jinn State can we adopt any type of shapeshifting. Clue for Jinn StateThe devotee must sit at a table and cross his arms, placing them on the table; while resting his head on his arms, he must willingly fall asleep. The student must relax his mind by emptying it from any type of thoughts until it is blank. Thereafter, imagine the slumber state (that precedes the dreaming state); identify with it and fall asleep. When the student feels that he is slumbering, he should get up from his chair (but keep the slumber state as if he was a somnambulist) and attempt a long jump, as far as possible, with the intention of submerging himself within Hyperspace (with his physical body). Thereafter with a pencil, he must mark the exact spot on the floor where his foot landed.
As the student practices this exercise, he will notice that each time the length of the jump is longer and longer. Finally, the day will arrive in which he will perform a jump that is beyond average. This will give the student joy because it will indicate that his physical body is now penetrating into Hyperspace. Finally, constancy, patience, willpower and tenacity will grant triumph to the student; thus, on any given day the student will definitively sustain himself with his physical body in Hyperspace. With his physical body he will penetrate into the internal worlds; he will be in “Jinn State.” Then within a few moments, he will be able to transport himself to any place on earth. He will become an investigator of the superior worlds.
Genii of Jinn ScienceBefore initiating the former Jinn practice, the student must invoke the Genii of Jinn Science. The devotee will invoke the Master Oguara many times, as follows: “I believe in God, I believe in Oguara and in all the Genii of the Jinn Science, take me with my physical body to all the Temples of Jinn Science. Oguara! Oguara! Oguara! Carry me.” This invocation must be repeated thousands of times before falling asleep.
3. TransubstantiationThe Last Supper of the Adorable Savior of the World comes from archaic epochs. The Great Lord of Atlantis also practiced this Ceremony, as Jesus Christ did. This is a Blood Ceremony, a Blood Pact. Each one of the Apostles put their blood into a cup and then they mixed their blood with the Royal Blood of the Adorable One within the Chalice of the Last Supper (The Holy Grail). Thus, this is how the astral bodies of the Apostles joined the Astral Body of Christ, by means of this Blood Pact. The Apostles drank the blood contained within the Chalice and Jesus likewise drank from it. The Holy Gnostic Unction is united to the Last Supper through this Blood Pact. When the Christic atoms (Solar Astral Atoms) descend into the bread and the wine, they are in fact converted into the flesh and blood of (the Cosmic) Christ. This is the mystery of the Transubstantiation. The Hebrew Letter NunWritten by a Gnostic Instructor
In Kabbalah, Nun means fish (Aramaic) Nun is written with the following letters: (נ Nun, ו Vav, ן Nun Sophit), which means: the Light above, the Shechinah of the three primary forces hidden within the “Nun,” “the N” descending through ו “Vav” (spinal medulla) even through the final Nun in order to expand the Infinite Light below in the Ninth Sphere, the center of the Earth. In Yesod, the solar forces of Kether, Chokmah and Binah (their Messiah or Solar-Light-Force), the Heir to the Throne (the spinal medulla) are hidden within Nun, the Sperm and the Ovum (the fish) that swims within the מ Mem, the waters of Yesod, the Ens Seminis. The Nun moves within the מ Mem, the fish that swims protected by שמים Schamayim (the living waters of life) from the Ain Soph Aur, the unknowable divine. Within all Monads from the Ain Soph, Nun symbolizes every non-active element that lacks self-cognizance, but by means of the self-realization of the Being, in other words, by means of the transmutation of the waters of Yesod, in the Ninth Sphere, sex; these elements develop and become active. Thereafter, these Nun elements appear as fiery self-cognizant active elements (by means of the Iod and Havah) of all Self-realized Beings or Elohim, at the dawning of any universe.
By means of Nun, the Elohim give onto the Monad (through the Venustic initiation) the necessary elements in order to build a Diamond Soul which is where the activity of the higher faculties and powers of Objective Reasoning are placed; this is how the Monad through Nun expands its consciousness and acquires the knowledge of the Elohim. Only the Monads of the straight path acquire the different levels of knowledge or levels of Objective Reasoning and their related powers when their souls pass through the successive Eight Great Initiations of Major Mysteries. These levels states and powers are not developed by those Monads of the spiral path in general. The vast majority of Monads eventually throughout the millions of Mahamanvantaras choose to acquire through the spiral path a basic type of cosmic understanding.
Monadic unconscious psychic elements or non-active Monadic elements evolve within Malkuth (the Earth, the world of matter); these are divided into three general categories, symbolized by fish (מ Mem), fowl (אלוהים Aleph) and land animals (ש Shin). The three prototypes of these categories are the leviathan (sexual potency און AUN from the waters of Yesod) the behemoth (sexual appetites of the blood-fire) and the fowl of the air (collective mind or understanding). These three categories of souls rotate; they evolve and devolve trapped in Malkuth, the wheel of Ezekiel, the wheel of Samsara. Presently, these three categories manifest in the humanoid through the three brains as three innate tendencies and attractions towards the animal soul-behavior that obscure the secrets of Daath to the consciousness. So, in the humanoid evolving level, these three categories can mutate through the mysteries of Daath, or devolve into Klipoth. These three animal categories of souls are what prevail in the present level of the souls of all the people on earth. If these animal souls are not transformed into human souls, the consciousness will fall and will be disintegrated in Klipoth in order to be integrated again by means of the Second Death into a totally new mechanical, yet higher level of evolving processes of consciousness. But…(when in the human kingdom the man and woman uttered the word, the name ‘IAO’ in Daath) Elohim saw that it was good.
In a true twice born initiate these three prototypes of animal wills, leviathan (animal sexual behavior) behemoth (poisonous sulfur, venom blood) and unclean fowls (thoughts of Subjective Reasoning), unite in battle against the Nous or fires of the heart, superior will. Brain against sex, sex against brain and what is the most painful, heart against heart. Yet, by skillfully transmuting each of these animal forces we kill the animal ego within us. This is how we liberate the souls of Israel from their slavery in Egypt (Malkuth) and blend them together through the self-realization of the Being. The consciousness that is trapped within these sinful protoplasmic bestial bodies is then liberated through sexual alchemy and becomes the nourishing-knowledge for the Objective Reasoning of Resurrected Masters in the Promised Land (fourth dimension). The Diamond Soul of Resurrected Masters in fact transmutes even the very root of these animal consciousnesses.
This is how human beings were generated in Eden, the fourth dimension, the times of Lemuria. The waters - Schamayim – are the dwellings of the solar fires. The sexual solar fires of Nun sleep within the pure waters of life. In Schamayim fire and water are united in an eternal love trance that gives origin to any universe. The fires of Nun are the fires of love that breathes within our seminal waters. The fires of Nun make the waters of life fertile. The sexual act also exists in Eden, because plants and flowers, trees and Gods, birds and reptiles, animals and humans, everything comes from sex. All creation is impossible without sex; yet, in Eden the sexual act is performed with chastity, sexuality in Eden is as pure as the Light of Iod-Havah Elohim.
This is how human beings in Lemuria lost their human abilities when falling into animal generation. They ejaculated the waters - Schamayim – and lost the solar fires of Shechinah. Now, the sexual solar fires of Nun sleep within the pure waters of life.
The three brains are now polluted with Klipothic elements; therefore, those who want to return to the Promised Land must pass, by means of Sexual Alchemy, through a psychosomatic transformation. Therefore:
Behemoth through our venom blood fortifies the Leviathan that symbolizes the sexual strength in Malkuth (the Physical Kingdom); whereas in Kabbalah, Meleck and Malka in the Schamayim of Daath represent Malkuth, the Kingdom in the world of Atziluth. The tides of Schamayim in Daath reached Yesod and are controlled by the moon. In Yesod are the Waters of life that give life to the King (Meleck) when the solar forces of the Messiah within Nun are liberated in sexual alchemy. Then the energies of the Messiah rise through Vav from the Iod in Yesod and reach the Brain, the Kaph or the Crown of the King. This is how the tides of the new moon, the Mother Aima Elohim (through her Shechinah that vibrates in Nun) bring through sexual transmutation the life of a new king. Eventually this Shechinah gives birth a new king, the savior, the Messiah, of Israel or liberator of the conscious particles of our Monad that are trapped in Malkuth and that are slaves of the forces of the Leviathan, the Behemoth and the unclean Ofa of the mind.
Nun Sophit or the final Nun at the end of the word symbolizes the descension of the solar forces of the Messiah (through the Venustic Initiation) into Malkuth and even into Klipoth. It is Moses (Mem and Shin) descending into (“Hei” – Malkuth, the Kingdom) as a faithful servant in order to liberate the souls of Israel from the infernal worlds, (souls who are trapped in Klipoth, the entrails of the Earth). Thus, Nun is the leviathan; the symbol of the Divine Christic Solar Force trapped within the waters of Malkuth (sex or Yesod in the Physical body, the Kingdom). This is why it is stated that Nun is the “heir to the throne,” in other words, by means of transmutation, the solar fire becomes the heir to throne (spinal medulla) of the “Kingdom,” Malkuth or physical body. The letter Nun is therefore the progenitor of the King in the eternal cognizant Kingdom of Israel, the consciousness of any Self-realized Master.
As long as the solar fires of the Ain Soph Aur shine or are reflected in the Moon in Yesod, kings or Malachim will rule in the fourth dimension, Yesod, the Promised Land. The messiah is that solar force that descends from the Ain Soph Aur through Kether and is placed by the force of gravity in the center (of the Stone of Yesod, the Ninth Sphere, Sex) of the earth Malkuth; a stone-force that is miscarriage of the fornicating Behemoth-Goliath-Indwellers of the earth, but that is wisely chiseled by the Malachim from the Kingdom of God. When the Solar force within Nun, the Sperm and the Ovum is not sexually and psychologically transmuted by the force of Iod, Kether in Yesod, it is then altered by fornication and sinks into the Klipothic shadows of Lilith, yet finally liberated from these lustful-demonic ego-vessels (demons of Dagon) through the second death. However, when sexually transmuted, the essence of the Ain Soph Aur, the solar Energy, the Messiah experiences a continuous fall from the higher heavens and suffers a continuous mutation in the body of initiates.
The solar consciousness within the Nun is in a state of potentiality as the sperm or the ovum is in its natural habitat, the Ens Seminis (Schamayim in Yesod). When through sexual transmutation this Nun is forced to reveal its creative power out of the waters of Yesod, it does it on dry land, meaning on a body that is released after nine months from the waters of the womb. This is how the creation of the dry land, which is the astral body, mental body and causal body, is achieved through sexual transmutation; then the divine force of the Glorian, through Kether above reveals itself through his Iod for the good of the body, the soul, and the Spirit.
So, Can you draw out (Nun, the) leviathan with a (Vav) hook? Can you put a (Nun Sophit) hook into his nose? - Job 41: 1, 2

The Star of David represents a Self-realized Master, a King (Meleck), “Lamed” that rises from Nun in the waters of Mem, a heir to the throne of David (represented by the star of Bethlehem, or six pointed star, symbol of the sexual union of two triangles one feminine, the Meleck and the other masculine, the Malka); this is how the Messiah son of the star of David comes to life.


The queen (the Shechinah, the Malka) of the south (of Malkuth) shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from (Yesod, the Ninth Sphere) the uttermost parts of the earth (Malkuth) to hear the Wisdom (Chokmah) of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here (in the Nun of Malkuth – Physical Body).
