Kabbalist�察 �and the first active manifestation of the glorious En Soph。 In
other words�察�it is MIND IN ACTION�察�the first pulsation of Deity in the
dual aspects of ;Lord and Creator。; To the human soul it is�察�and always

typifies�察�the unknown�察�invisible power which we term INTELLIGENCE�察�
THAT WHICH KNOWS�察 �and gives unto each Deific atom of life that
distinguishing�察�universal�察�yet deathless force which not only constitutes its
spiritual identity and physical individuality�察�but enables it to pronounce�察�in
the presence of its Creator�察�those mystic words�此 �I am that I am。; In other
words�察�this beautiful constellation symbolizes the first pulsation of that ray
of pure intelligence which constitutes the Divine Ego of the human soul。 It
is the force that impels ever onward the life atom in its evolutionary
progress�察 �and reveals to us the beginning�察 �or first manifestation�察 �of the
Divine Ego as an active�察�self´existing atom of Infinite spirit�察�within angelic
spheres。
Seeing the actual�察�spiritual reality symbolized in Aries�察�how easy it is
to note its full significance upon the external plane when refracted and
reflected into the planes below through the complex action of the human
organism�察�conveying the same radical influx in the first astrological month
and the first sign of the Zodiac。 We can read a perfect parallel in the astral
influx upon the human body�察�as set forth in the ;Light of Egypt�察─�vol。 I�察�
which says Aries symbolizes the sacrifice and represents the springtime�察�
the beginning of a new year。 The first action of pure intelligence brought
forth the first expression of form�察 �and led to the sacrifice of its angelic
state�察�and�察�having gained the victory over the lower realms of matter�察�once
more the springtime of a new life�察�with the promise of life�察�light and love。
The sign Aries represents the thinking powers of humanity�察�in short�察�
the active�察�intellectual being�察�the lord of material creationMan�察�and in its
cosmic relations�察�as shown under ;The Occult Application of the Twelve
Signs; ��vol。 I���察�we find the same perfect analogy。
II。 Taurus
;He ��Aries�� turns and wonders at the mighty Bull ��Taurus��。;
The second constellation of the shining twelve represents the first
reaction of spiritual conception。 In other words�察�it is the mind's attention to
its own ideas。 In the Kabbalah it represents that peculiar state of executive
force whereof it is symbolically said�此 �And the Lord saw that it was good�察─�
after each act of creation。
When intelligence first manifests itself form is a matter of necessity�察�
23

and�察 �as no form can possibly exist without matter�察 �so Taurus is the first
emanation of matter in its most etherealized state。 Hence it is feminine�察�
Venus the ruler thereof�察�and it represents the first pure form of the human
soul�察 �as it existed in its bright paradise within the angelic spheres of its
parents�察�and reveals to us the first surprise of intelligence in embryo�察�the
first sensation of consciousness�察 �so to sayconscious of its Divine
selfhood。 Hence ;He ��the male spirit of pure fire�察�Aries���察�glorious in his
golden ��solar�� wool�察�turns ��expressing reaction�� and wonders at the mighty
bull ��or material form��。; Thus the first idea of pure intelligence in embryo�察�
the result of action in Aries�察�becomes objective to its consciousness and is
surprised at its own conception。 It is the first sensation of pure�察 �Divine
love within angelic realms�察�and it ��the male spirit of pure fire�� sees that it
is good。
Bringing this spiritual reality within our conception�察�and comparing it
with its reflected astrological influx�察 �what a beautiful harmony we find�察�
and yet so simple that verily we cannot refrain from once more quoting
our old´time�察�worn�察�yet�察�nevertheless�察�golden law�此 �AS IT IS ABOVE�察�SO
IT IS BELOW�察�AS ON THE EARTH�察�SO IN THE SKY。; Reflecting that
Taurus is an Earthy sign�察�and a symbol of servitude�察�we see that matter is
ever the servant of spirit�察 �a necessary means for the manifestation of
intelligence�察�again recognized in the fecundating forces of this astrological
sign on every plane of its action。 And it is ruled by Venus�察 �the love
element in Nature�察�her sympathies ever finding expression in this beautiful
sign。 What can be clearer�察 �more understandable�察 �than�察 �that the involved
principles and Deific attributes�察 �as represented by the shining
constellations�察�when refracted through the human organism�察�so complex in
its constitution�察 �reflects qualities which are the external and parallel
expression of the subjective principles�察�and�察�further�察�that form is absolutely
necessary for the manifestation of intelligence�拭�
III。 Gemini
;He ��Taurus�� bending lies with threatening bead�察�and calls the Twins
��Gemini�� to rise。 They clasp for fear and mutually embrace。;
This bright constellation ��Castor and Pollux���察 �Gemini�察 �is spiritually
representative of the second spiritual action。 Hence it is�察 �of course�察 �a

masculine sign and positive。 We have witnessed act I of the soul's drama�察�
and�察�as some have said�察�tragedy�察�and in this�察�the third of the shining twelve�察�
we find the opening scene of act II�察�viz�此�The evolution of the twin souls�察�or�察�
more correctly�察�the differentiation of the Divine soul into its two natural
component partsmale and female。
Here we approach one of the most arcane secrets within the wide
scope of Occult philosophy�察 �hence must be exact�察 �and at the same time
clear�察 �in our statements。 Note�察 �then�察 �that after the male spirit of pure�察�
ethereal�察�divine fire ��Aries�� bad conceived the first idea�察�and Taurus�察�the
material envelope�察�had given that idea objective existence to its ��the Ego's��
consciousness�察 �we find SENSATION AS THE RESULT。 No sooner
sensation than aspiration�察 �i。e。�察 �longing。 This closes the action and the
reaction。
Ever�察�in obedience to the unsatisfied wants of an immortal soul Nature
immediately responds。 Hence ;He bending lies with threatening head�察�
��that is demanding���察─�and calls the twins ��the twin souls�� to rise ��to appear
or evolve forth���察─�and as a first rude shock caused by their separation�察�or�察�
rather�察�by their separate existence as two distinct�察�yet mutually dependent�察�
forces�察�we have the context。
;They clasp for fear and mutually embrace。;
This most impressive scene in the soul's drama is one of profound
interest and sublime beauty。
In the Kabbalah we find the same parallel�察�wherein it is stated�此 �And
so God created man in His own image ��the action of Aries and Taurus���察�in
His own image ��mind�� created He him�察�male and female created He them。;
In other words�察 �Aries�察 �Taurus and Gemini are thus spoken of in pure
allegory。
The mundane Bible of the Jews�察�like everything else esteemed sacred�察�
finds its original and perfect expression in the great Astral Bible of the
skies。
