The Soul <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> <strong>Kabbalah</strong> 113<br />
At <strong>the</strong> moment <strong>of</strong> death <strong>the</strong> Nephesch, in its lower form as <strong>the</strong><br />
E<strong>the</strong>ric Body,ceases to exist and disintegrates and this is <strong>the</strong> decomposition<br />
state. The Nephesch in its higher fOIDl as <strong>the</strong> Astral Body is <strong>the</strong>n cut<br />
loose from its ties <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> physical body. Since it now has a Ruach to give<br />
it impetus, it ends up in what might be called a wandering state. Some<br />
have considered that <strong>the</strong> Gehinnon is merely a state away from <strong>the</strong> Most<br />
High and hence <strong>the</strong> Nephesch, along with <strong>the</strong> Ruach and Neschamah,<br />
wanders until it meets with <strong>the</strong> Yehudiam, or angelic messenger, who<br />
takes it to <strong>the</strong> Garden <strong>of</strong> Eden where is reunited with its source.<br />

Thou shalt know that <strong>the</strong> whole Sphere <strong>of</strong> Sensation which<br />
surroundeth <strong>the</strong> whole physical body <strong>of</strong> a man is called "The<br />
Magical Mirror <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Universe." For <strong>the</strong>rein are represented all<br />
<strong>the</strong> occult forces <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Universe projected as on a Sphere, convex<br />
to <strong>the</strong> outer, but concave to man. This sphere surroundeth<br />
<strong>the</strong> physical body <strong>of</strong> a man as <strong>the</strong> Celestial Heavens do <strong>the</strong><br />
body <strong>of</strong> a Star or Planet, having <strong>the</strong>ir forces mirrored in its<br />
atmosphere. Therefore its allotment or organisation isa copy <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Greater World or Macrocosm. In this "Magical Mirror <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> Universe," <strong>the</strong>refore, are <strong>the</strong> Ten Sephiroth projected in<br />
<strong>the</strong> form <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tree <strong>of</strong> Life as in a solid sphere.<br />
A man's physical body is within <strong>the</strong> Ten Sephirorh projected<br />
in a Sphere. The divisions and parrs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> body are formed<br />
from <strong>the</strong> Sephiroth <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tree <strong>of</strong> Life, thus. 108<br />
Ke<strong>the</strong>r is above <strong>the</strong> Crown <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Head, and represents a<br />
crown which indeed is powerful, but requires one worthy to<br />
wear it. In <strong>the</strong> crown <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> head is placed <strong>the</strong> faculty <strong>of</strong><br />
Neschamah, which is <strong>the</strong> power <strong>of</strong> Aspiration unto that which<br />
is beyond. This power <strong>of</strong> Neschamah is especially attributed<br />

<strong>the</strong> basis for Israel Regardie's book The MidiJlePillar) at <strong>the</strong> Zelator Adeptus Minor level. lr concerns<br />
much <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> above information in relation to <strong>the</strong> body <strong>of</strong> man and different to <strong>the</strong> above<br />
texts as far as format goes bur is never<strong>the</strong>less an interesting document that is to a certain extent<br />
based on <strong>the</strong> work <strong>of</strong> de Leiningen.<br />
lOB This view <strong>of</strong> a Tree <strong>of</strong> Life on both <strong>the</strong> fronr and back <strong>of</strong> Man differs from <strong>the</strong> Regardie association<br />
as given in <strong>the</strong> "Middle Pillar" and falls in with <strong>the</strong> diagrams <strong>of</strong> Wesrcon as given in his<br />
papers "The Tree <strong>of</strong> Life in <strong>the</strong> Celestial Heavens Projected as if in a Solid Sphere." A color representation<br />
<strong>of</strong> this correct rendition is given in Robert Wang's book "Qabalistic Tarot," on <strong>the</strong><br />
back cover <strong>of</strong> his boob
