The purpose of touch among the Masters and their human disciples is in Hod, the Sephirah of ceremonial magic, as is indicated through the Yetziratic Te:x;t, which pronounces that from Gedulah, the Fourth Sephirah emanates the essence of Hod. those tricks given within the Yetziratic Texts about the kin among the person Sephiroth are vitally important in functional occultism. Hod, then, could be taken as representing Chokmah and Chesed upon a decrease arc, while Netzach represents Binah and Geburah. this can be defined intimately while those Sephiroth are handled, however it needs to be stated in brief now with a view to make the functionality of Chesed intelligible. 17. we have reached some degree within the scheme of the Tree the place the kind of task comes in the diversity of human attention. In our research of the previous Sephiroth we have been formulating metaphysical recommendations. those strategies, even though distant from instant program to the lifetime of f. orm, are enormously vital, for until they're on the ·\! i. •... 168 the magical QABALAH foundation of our realizing of esoteric technology we will fall into superstition and use magic as magicians, now not as adepts; in different phrases, we will be not able to go beyond the bondage of the planes of shape and may be hallucinated and fall lower than the domination of the phantoms evoked via the mystical mind's eye, rather than utilizing them because the beads at the abacus of our calculations, that is as though the engineer used the slide-rule as though it have been a foot-rule.

This teaches us greatly, for it shows that for recognition to upward thrust from shape to strength, and for strength to descend to shape, it needs to go through the Centre of Equilibrium and Redemption, to that are assigned the Mysteries of the Crucifixion. I nine· it's to the field of Chesed that the exalted awareness of the adept rises in his occult meditations; it truly is right here that he gets the inspirations which he works out at the planes of shape. it's the following that he meets the Masters as religious affects contacted telepathically, with none intermingling of character. this can be the genuine, and the top, mode of touch with the Masters, touch with them as brain to brain of their personal sphere of exalted cognizance. while the Masters are noticeable clairvoyantly as robed beings, the colors of whose gowns point out their ray, they're being perceived mirrored into the sector of Yesod, that is the dominion of phantasms and hallucinations. we're treading on precarious flooring after we need to meet the Masters the following. it's the following that the anthropomorphic shape is given to the non secular proposal which so misleads these psychics who can't upward push to Chesed. it's therefore that the statement of a non secular impulse flowing out upon the area will get int~rpreted because the coming of a global instructor.
