| Sephiroth |

Sephirah is from the Hebrew ספירה, which means enumeration or jewel. The plural is ספירת, sephiroth.
The ten Sephiroth of universal vibration emerge from the Ain Soph, which is the Microcosmic Star that guides our interior. This Star is the Real Being of our Being. Ten Sephiroth are spoken of, but in reality there are twelve; the Ain Soph is the eleventh, and its tenebrous antithesis is in the Abyss, which is the twelfth Sephirah. These are twelve spheres or universal regions that mutually penetrate and co-penetrate without confusion. These twelve spheres gravitate in the central atom of the sign of the infinite. Solar humanity unfolds in these twelve spheres. We have said that the sign of the infinite is in the center of the earth, in the heart of the earth. The Sephiroth are atomic. The ten Sephiroth can be reduced into three tables:
This is Jacob’s Ladder which goes from earth to heaven. All of the worlds of cosmic consciousness are reduced to the three tables. ••• A Sephirah cannot be understood only in one plane because it is of a quadruple nature. Therefore, the Kabbalists clearly express the fact that there are Four Worlds.
••• Three Sephiroth of form are found in the Pillar of Severity (Binah, Geburah, and Hod). Three Sephiroth of energy are found in the Pillar of Mercy (Chokmah, Chesed, and Netzach). The Pillar of Equilibrium is between these two pillars, where all of the distinct levels of consciousness are found (Kether, Tiphereth, Yesod, and Malkuth).
Kether is the Father within us, a breath from the Absolute, profoundly unknowable to Himself. Kether is the Ancient of Days. Each one of us, in our depth, is a blessed Ancient of Days. Chokmah is the Son, the atomic Christ in us. Binah is the Mother in us, the Holy Spirit in us. Kether, Chokmah, and Binah are our Sephirothic Crown. The very beloved Father, the very adored Son, and the very wise Holy Spirit live within the profundities of our superlative consciousness, waiting for the supreme instant of our realization.
The Mother holds in her hand a precious lamp. This lamp is the Innermost who burns within the depth of our hearts. The Innermost is contained within a fine and transparent glass of alabaster. This glass is our own superlative consciousness; it is our Buddhi. The Innermost is the Sephirah Chesed, and Buddhi is the Sephirah Geburah. The Innermost and Buddhi express themselves through the Human Soul. The Human Soul is Tiphereth, willpower, beauty. Therefore, the Innermost, with his two Souls, the Divine and Human, officiates on his throne, which is the cerebrospinal nervous system. The Innermost is crowned with the Sephirothic Crown. The Innermost abides in his temple. The temple of the Innermost has two columns, Jachin and Boaz. Jachin is the mind and Boaz is the Astral Body. The mind is the Sephirah Netzach and the Astral Body is the Sephirah Hod. These two columns of the temple are sustained upon the Cubic Stone of Yesod. This Cubic Stone also serves as a foundation for the Kingdom, Malkuth. This Cubic Stone is the Ethereal Body. Malkuth is the physical body. Therefore, the human being is a complete decade. We have ten fingers on our hands, ten Sephiroth, and Ten Commandments. When the Elder of Days has Self-realized the ten Sephiroth, he transforms himself into Adam-Kadmon, the Heavenly Man. Whosoever Self-realizes the ten Sephiroth will shine in the world of the Light with ineffable Christic splendors. When the Ancient of Days reaches the realization of the ten Sephiroth in himself, these Sephiroth shine in the world of Light as precious gems, as resplendent stones within the body of the Ancient of Days.
The ten Sephiroth shine as precious stones in the body of the Ancient of Days. This is how we convert ourselves into the Heavenly Jerusalem.
The ten Sephiroth are atomic; the ten Sephiroth are the holy city of Jerusalem that comes to shine within the depth of our heart.
When a human being incarnates the Sephirothic Crown, then the Elder of Days will shine upon him and he shall reign forever and ever. Nonetheless, brothers and sisters of my Soul, truly I tell you that no one reaches the Father except through the Son. The Son is the atomic Christ in us; he is Chokmah, the divine Christic wisdom, the Gnosis which shines in the depth of our heart. We have to inundate all of our vehicles with atoms of a Christic nature. We have to form Christ within ourselves in order to rise towards the Father, for one reaches the Father only through the Son. It would be worthless for the Christ to be born one thousand times in Bethlehem if he is not born in our hearts as well. We have to form Christ within ourselves in order to enter through the doors into the triumphant and victorious city on Palm Sunday. Christmas is a cosmic event that must be performed in each one of us. The Nativity (Christmas) is absolutely individual. It is necessary for the Christ to be born in each one of us. The Nativity of the heart is urgent. We need to transform the Tree of the Science of Good and Evil into the Immolated Lamb of the Holy City.
Indeed, Christ is a Sephirothic Crown (Kether, Chokmah, and Binah) of incommensurable wisdom, whose purest atoms shine within Chokmah, the world of the Ophanim. This Sephirothic Crown (incommensurable) sent his Buddha, Jesus of Nazareth, who through innumerable reincarnations prepared himself in our terrestrial evolution. It was in the river Jordan where the Christic crown, the Solar Logos, shone and penetrated within his Buddha, Jesus of Nazareth. Behold here the mystery of the double human personality, which is one of the greatest mysteries of occultism. When the human being receives the Sephirothic Crown, then the Ancient of Days illuminates him and guides him towards the waters of pure life. Nonetheless, brothers and sisters of mine, no one reaches the Father except through the Son, and the Son is in the depth of the Ark of the Alliance waiting for the instant of realization. The Ark of the Alliance is our sexual organs. Only through perfect chastity can we form the Christ within ourselves and rise towards the Father. Brothers and sisters of mine, I already gave you, I already granted unto you, the Ark of the New Testament. I already taught unto you the path of Sexual Magic.
