TENER UN HIJO ES CONSTRUIR UNA CASA

En el pensamiento tradicional judío, tener un hijo está asociado con construir una casa y levantar el nombre de la familia. En el Salmo (Tehilim) 2:6-7, el Mesías Regio judío es llamado el Hijo de Di-s, según está escrito:

"Yo he puesto mi rey sobre Sión, mi santo monte. Yo publicaré el decreto [uno de los pasos para la entronización del rey judío>; el Señor me ha dicho: Mi hijo eres tú; Yo te engendré hoy."

En Hechos 13:33, confirma el Salmo (Tehilim) 2:6-7 está hablando sobre el Mesías (Mashíaj) judío Yeshúa/Jesús, según está escrito:

"La cual Dios ha cumplido a los hijos de ellos, a nosotros, resucitando a Jesús; como está escrito también en el salmo segundo: Mi hijo eres tú, yo te he engendrado hoy."

En la Mikvá (inmersión/bautismo) del Mesías (Mashíaj) judío Yeshúa/Jesús, una voz (kol) del cielo habló a Yeshúa/Jesús y le llamó el Hijo de Di-s. En Mateo (Matityahu) 3:13, 16-17 está escrito:

"Entonces Jesús vino de Galilea a Juan [Yojanán el Inmersor> al Jordán, para ser bautizado por él…y Jesús, después que fue bautizado, subió luego del agua; y he aquí los cielos le fueron abiertos, y vio al Espíritu de Dios [Rúaj HaKódesh> que descendía como paloma, y venía sobre él. Y hubo una voz que decía: Este es mi Hijo amado [Salmo 2:7>, en quien tengo complacencia."

Una vez más, en el pensamiento tradicional judío, tener un hijo está asociado con construir una casa. Esta verdad se puede comprender de la lengua hebrea misma. La palabra hebrea para hijo es "ben." Es la palabra 1121 de Strong en la Concordancia Hebrea. Hijo o ben en hebreo significa "un hijo o constructor del nombre de la familia." Hijo o ben en hebreo viene de la palabra 1129 que es la palabra hebrea "Baná" que significa "construir." La palabra hebrea para casa es, beit, Es la palabra 1004 de Strong. La palabra hebrea para casa, beit, también viene de la palabra hebrea "baná" que significa "construir." Por lo tanto, la lengua hebrea nos comunica que tener un hijo está asociado con construir una casa o levantar el nombre de la familia. Esta verdad espiritual se puede ver en la Torá en el libro de Deuteronomio (Devarim) 25:5-9, según está escrito:

"Cuando hermanos habitaren juntos, y muriere alguno de ellos, y no tuviere hijo, la mujer del muerto no se casará fuera con hombre extraño; su cuñado se llegará a ella, y la tomará por su mujer, y hará con ella parentesco. Y el primogénito que ella diere a luz sucederá en el nombre de su hermano muerto, para que el nombre de éste no sea borrado de Israel. Y si el hombre no quisiere tomar a su cuñada, irá entonces su cuñada a la puerta, a los ancianos, y dirá: Mi cuñado no quiere suscitar nombre en Israel a su hermano; no quiere emparentar conmigo. Entonces los ancianos de aquella ciudad lo harán venir, y hablarán con él; y si él se levantare y dijere: No quiero tomarla, se acercará entonces su cuñada a él delante de los ancianos, y le quitará el calzado del pie, y le escupirá en el rostro, y hablará y dirá: Así será hecho al varón que no quiere edificar la casa de su hermano."

Se puede ver también en Rut 4:11 que tener un hijo está asociado con levantar una casa. Las dos madres terrenales de las dos casas de Israel Raquel y Lea, compitieron entre ellas sobre tener hijos para edificar la casa de Jacob. En Rut 4:11 está escrito:

"Y dijeron todos los del pueblo que estaban a la puerta con los ancianos: Testigos somos. El Señor haga a la mujer que entra en tu casa como a Raquel y Lea, las cuales edificaron la casa de Israel; y tú seas ilustre en Efrata, y seas de renombre en Belén."

Philadelphia – The Keystone state

The keystone in Masonry represents the stone which the builders rejected. It is a counterfeit of Messiah.

Psa 118:20 This is the gate of YHWH, the righteous shall enter into it.
Psa 118:21 I will thank You, for You answered me, and You are my salvation.
Psa 118:22 The Stone which the builders rejected has become the Head of the Corner.
Psa 118:23 This is from YHWH, it is marvelous in our eyes.

Act 4:10 let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in this name this one stands before you whole.
Act 4:11 This One is the Stone counted worthless by you the builders, the One who has come to be into the Head of the Corner; Psa. 118:22
This rejected stone is the foundation of the body of Messiah
Eph 2:19 So, then, you are no longer strangers and tenants, but you are fellow citizens of the saints and of the family of God,
Eph 2:20 being built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the cornerstone,
Eph 2:21 in whom all the building being fitted together grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
Eph 2:22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

1Pe 2:7 Then to you who believe belongs the preciousness. But to disobeying ones, He is the “Stone which those building rejected; this One became the Head of the Corner,” Psa. 118:22
1Pe 2:8 and a Stone-of-stumbling, and a Rock-of-offense” to the ones stumbling, being disobedient to the Word, to which they were also appointed. Isa. 8:14

“Symbolically, the stone is the last placed, completing the arch created by the pillars Jachim and Boaz. It is analogous to coagulation in the alchemical process, an emblem of completion. Astrologically, the keystone represents the summer solstice- the sun entering the sign of Cancer at its highest point in the northern sky, as illustrated below:”

Cancer is the symbol of regeneration (Secret Teachings of All Ages pg 153)

Next we see the keystone linked to 3 hexagrams…666

Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor pg 245

This portion of the Royal Arch Degree is speaking of the Lost Word that Masonry has preserved. The Lost Word of Masonry is the Sacred Name of YHWH, the ‘divine Logos.’ The initiate is then given this Lost Word, which has been passed down as Jahbulon and the 3 times 3 ritual is done.

Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor 249

“Each one takes hold with his right hand of the right wrist of his companion on the left, and with his left hand takes hold of the left wrist of his companion on the right. Each one then places his right foot forward with the hollow in front, so that the toe touches the heel of his companion on the right. This is called “three times three;” that is, three right feet forming a triangle, three left hands forming a triangle, and three right hands forming a triangle. They balance in the same manner, and then, with hands raised, repeat the words Jah-buh-lun, Jehovah, G-o-d, at low breath, as described before.”

Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor 225

Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital pg 117
“The number 27 is the Masonic three times three, a reference to the ‘Living Arch’ which, according to revelations of the secrets of Masonry published by Avery Allyn in 1831, symbolized the human Royal Arch.  This was an arch formed by Masons when ritualistically pronouncing or portraying the secret name of God.

The symbolism was fairly obvious.  There was a triple bonding of right arms above the heads of the participants, a triple bonding at the heart level, and a triple touching at the feet, which were arranged to form a triangle upon the floor.  Symbolically, the three levels of Creation united: the Trinity of Heaven passed through the Trinity of Man to form a Trinity on the Earth.”

The three times three ritual is a picture of the triquetra which is a form of the number 666. The triquetra is also a symbol of the triple helix of DNA which will be discussed in more detail, Yah willing, in the last section of this series on DNA.

Another connection between the sun and 666 is the “magic square of the sun”.

Babylonian astrologers divided the starry heavens into 36 constellations (ten days each). These were represented by different amulets called “Sigilla Solis,” or the Sun Seal. These amulets were worn by the pagan priests and they contained all the numbers from 1 to 36. By these figures they claimed to be able to foretell future events. These amulets were usually made of gold, yellow being the sun color. While being carried, these amulets were wrapped in yellow silk, as it was thought that the bearer would thus receive the beneficent powers believed to emanate from that jewel. Adding the numbers of any column either horizontally or vertically, and also the two diagonals crossing the square, the total is the same — 111. The sum of the six columns, either horizontally or vertically, is 666. The illustrations below taken from actual amulets in the Berlin Museum.

“The second illustration is also a solar seal, but it honors the star Basilisco, which was the diminutive form of the Greek basileus (king), thus meaning the same as the Latin regulus. Now, Regulus is the only first-magnitude star in the constellation of Leo. The sun and the moon are again clearly seen on this amulet, and on the reverse side is the same arrangement of numerals, with the actual figure given of the total 666.”

[The lower coin shows the conjunction of the Sun, Moon and the star Regulus in the constellation of Leo the Lion that occurred on 19 August 1705.

Table #1 as illustrated above is also referred to in numerology as the magic Square of the Sun. There are similar magic squares for Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury and the Moon, all of which have been known for centuries.

So 666 is a number associated with pagan sun-worship, which originated in the mysteries of ancient pagan Babylon. In Revelation 666 is associated with the number of the beast (from the sea), the Antichrist, and the harlot church of Mystery Babylon.

The “devil’s triad” 5th harmonic .666 looks like an inverted shin.  The 'devil's triad' or tritone is the harmonic that is used to make sinister music for horror movies and in olden times Monks refused to sing it because it was considered evil.  It looks like an inverted Hebrew letter shin, which is connected with 666 and the sun.

Interestingly,there is a verse in Scripture which has a word which equals 666 in it which connects to this 'inverted shin'.

1Sa 13:21  And the sharpening charge was a pim for the plowshares, and for the mattocks, and for the three (666)pronged forks, and for the axes, and for setting the plowshares.

The word for mark in Hebrew is associated with farming, in particular plowing a field which links with the above verse. The root word for mark is a picture of an ox plowing toward a mark.  In ancient Hebrew thought, Elohim was seen as the strong ox that we are yoked with in covenant relationship.  The word for mark is a picture of walking with your Elohim toward your mark/goal (Philippians 3:14).

The number 3 is also linked to resurrectionclick here.  A false resurrection/born again experience is what the mark of the beast is all about.  Interestingly, the letter gimel is equivalent to the number 3.  In Kabbalistic thought, the came represents the serpent in the Garden of Eden.  This is yet another link to the tree of knowledge of good and evil and the false resurrection.

How a Mystic Reads the Garden of Eden - Rabbi David Cooper
One of the most ancient midrashic texts, written by Rabbi Eliezer, suggests that the serpent who seduced Eve had the appearance of a camel. Most people have never heard this idea. The Jewish oral tradition goes on to say that the angel Samael, otherwise known as Satan, rode this camel. Many say that the serpent itself was Satan.
When Rabbi Eliezer says that the serpent represented a camel, he is alluding to the number three. The word camel in Hebrew is gamal, which is the same as word as the Hebrew letter gimel. Gimel in the Hebrew alphabet represents the number three. Mathematically, the number three is necessary for the physical world--which is three dimensional--composed of three lines of direction: north-south, east-west, and up-down.

The letter G symbol of freemasonry traces back to the Hebrew letter gimel and interestingly links to the serpent as well.  It is said that the letter G also represents the ouroboros, the snake eating it's tail which represents immortality/resurrection.

“The BLAZING STAR IS PROPERLY SIX-POINTED… the sign of the deity, and to make that more evident, in the middle of it is usually inscribed the letter ‘G’, for God… In Co-Masonic lodges, the usual form… is a serpent curled round with its tail in its mouth… This was the original form, but the head of the serpent was altered so as to form the letter G.” (Leadbeater, p. 79)

Masonic writers also speak of the letter G tracing back to the Hebrew letter yod which was used as an abbreviation by Kabbalists for the Sacred Name of Elohim.

This 'magic square of the sun' is associated with the 'The Philosophers stone'

The Philosopher's stone is associated with the hexagram...a symbol that comes up over and over again in connection with the number 666.

The Hexagram of Earth represents the Solar energy that makes concrete matter that we can move and touch, in short, The Philosophers Stone.

Dr. John Dee, the court astrologist of Queen Elizabeth I, in his book Hieroglyphic Monad, includes the following quote:

"'Mahatma Letters,' page 345: 'The double triangle viewed by the Jewish Kabbalists as Solomon's Seal is...the Sri--Antana of the Archaic Aryan Temple, the Mystery of Mysteries, a geometrical synthesis of the whole occult doctrine. The two interlaced triangles are the Buddham-Gums of Creation. They contain the 'squaring of the Circle,' the 'Philosophers' Stone,' the great problems of Life and Death--the mystery of Evil. The Chela who can explain this sign from every one of its aspects is virtually an Adept.'"John Dee, Hieroglyphic Monad, Dr John Dee, WEISER BOOKS, Boston MA/York Beach, ME, page 76

Albert Pike associates the Great Secret of Freemasonry with the discovery of the Alchemists “Philosopher’s Stone.”

The philosopher's stone is a legendary substance, allegedly capable of turning inexpensive metals into gold. It was sometimes believed to be an elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and possibly for achieving immortality. For a long time, it was the most sought-after goal in Western alchemy. In the view of spiritual alchemy, making the philosopher's stone would bring enlightenment upon the maker and conclude the Great Work. It is also known by several other names, such as 'materia prima.'  Ultimately, it is about bringing heaven down to earth.  Or the Sun (father) joining with the earth (mother) according to occult belief.  This will need to be discussed in greater detail in another study, Yah willing.

The tri-quetra is another subject that will need to be addressed in more detail in another study.  It is connected strongly to the 'Philosopher's stone' and the 'new man', homo-noeticus.

THE SUN-KING: 666 = A (111x6), THERION (Beast), ANKH-AF-NA-KHONSV(T), Sorath (Spirit of the Sun), and Shemesh IHVH (the Sun of Tetragrammaton). "666 is the Most Holy Number of the Sun" (according to them). It is symbolized by the letter Shin made of three Vavs (=666). Shin is the letter of Path 31 on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and 31=AL (The All). 666 is the mystic number of all the Paths of The Concealed Glory, for there are 36 Paths within the Tree of Life, 32 known, while four remain secret. 666 is also the occult number of the Hexagram, another symbol of the Sun, for a single line of the Hexagram contains three equal parts each of which may be represented by the number one, so that every line can be symbolized by the number 111. There are six lines in all, making 111x6=666, the most Holy Number of the Sun.

Opus magnum (alquimia)

De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre

Para otros usos de este término, véase Opus.

Colores de la Gran obra vistos sobre el pectoral de una figura del Splendor Solis.

Opus magnum o Gran obra es un término alquímico para el proceso de creación de la piedra filosofal. Se ha utilizado para describir la transmutación personal y espiritual en la tradición hermética, atribuido a procesos de laboratorio y cambios químicos del color, usado como un modelo para el proceso de individuación y como un recurso en arte y literatura. El Opus magnum ha continuado en movimientos nueva era y neo-herméticos los cuales suministraban a veces un nuevo simbolismo y significado al proceso. Originalmente tenía cuatro etapas:^{[1] [2]}

• nigredo, ennegrecimiento o melanosis
• albedo, blanqueamiento o leucosis
• citrinitas, amarilleamiento o xantosis
• rubedo, enrojecimiento, purpúreo, o iosis

El origen de estas cuatro fases se puede remontar al menos hasta el siglo primero. Zósimo de Panópolis escribió que era conocido por María la Judía.^[3] Después del siglo XV, muchos escritores tendieron a comprimir la citrinitas en la rubedo y considerar sólo tres etapas.^[4] A veces se mencionan otras etapas de color, sobre todo la cauda pavonis (cola de pavo real) en la que aparecen una variedad de colores.

Al Opus magnum se le atribuye una variedad de símbolos alquímicos. Aves como el cuervo, el cisne y el fénix podrían ser usados para representar la progresión a través de los colores.

Cambios similares de color se podían ver en el laboratorio, donde, por ejemplo, la negrura de la materia en descomposición, quemada o fermentada sería asociada con la nigredo.

Expansión de las cuatro etapas[editar · editar fuente]

Algunos autores alquímicos se basaron en el modelo de tres o cuatro colores para enumerar una variedad de etapas químicas a realizar. Aunque éstas se dispusieron a menudo en grupos de siete o doce etapas, hay poca coherencia en los nombres de estos procesos, su número, su orden o su descripción.^[5]

Varios documentos alquímicos fueron usados directa o indirectamente para justificar estas etapas. La Tabla de Esmeralda es el documento más antiguo^[6] que dice que proporciona una "receta". Otros incluyen el Mutus Liber, Las doce llaves de Basilius Valentinus, los emblemas de Steffan Michelspacher y Las doce puertas de George Ripley.^[7] Las etapas dadas por Ripley son:^[8]

1. Calcinación	7. Cibación
2. Solución (o disolución)	8. Sublimación
3. Separación	9. Fermentación
4. Conjunción	10. Exaltación
5. Putrefacción	11. Multiplicación
6. Congelación	12. Proyección

En otro ejemplo del siglo XVI, Samuel Norton ofrece las siguientes catorce etapas:^[9]

1. Purgación	8. Conjunción
2. Sublimación	9. Putrefacción en azufre
3. Calcinación	10. Solución de azufre corporal
4. Colmamiento	11. Solución de azufre de luz blanca
5. Fijación	12. Fermentación en elixir
6. Solución	13. Multiplicación en virtud
7. Separación	14. Multiplicación en cantidad

Algunos alquimistas también difundieron pasos para la creación de medicamentos y sustancias, que poco tienen que ver con el Opus magnum. El lenguaje críptico y a menudo simbólico utilizado para describir añade confusión, pero es evidente que no existe una única receta estándar paso a paso dada para la creación de la piedra filosofal.^[10]

Opus magnum en literatura y entretenimiento[editar · editar fuente]

A veces una obra maestra artística es modelada en torno al Opus magnum alquímico. Más que la mención simple de la alquimia dentro de la historia, obras maestras como Finnegans Wake^[11] siguen el proceso de transmutación, tejiendo su narrativa entera con simbolismo alquímico.^[12] La revista académica Cauda Pavonis, que había sido publicada por diversas universidades desde 1980, exploró estas conexiones en el arte y la literatura. Recientemente, John Granger ha acuñado la frase alquimia literaria para describir estas tendencias en la ficción popular.^[13]
