The Tree Of LIfe Part 2

There is no doubt that Netzah is where we can find Hermetic Magic, and in Hod we find Natural Magic. Other authors think differently. They believe that Natural Magic is found in Netzah; I have to disagree with them in that matter because when precisely seen, the mind is found to be Mercurial. There are authors that disagree with my concepts. They suppose that the mind is Venusian. I regret to discuss this type of concept because anyone can realize that the mind is Mercurial. Therefore, Hermetic Magic must be identified with Mercury, which is related with the mind. Regarding Natural, Ceremonial or Ritualistic Magic, we can find it in the Astral World, in the astral Body.

Where do we find the central gravity of the Magical Triangle? Obviously, it is found in the sex, because it is from here that birth, death and regeneration come. Everything rotates around the sex. In other words, the third triangle has its center of gravity in the sex, or Yesod, which is the force of the Third Logos, the sexual potency.

In this way we have found that there are three basic centers of gravity in the whole Tree of Life. In the first triangle, the center of gravity is in the First Logos, Kether, the Elder of the Centuries.

In the second triangle, Chokmah, the Cosmic Christ, the Second Logos, has its center of gravity in the Human Soul, Tiphereth.

In the third triangle Binah, the Holy Spirit, the Third Logos has its center of gravity in Yesod. It is within the sexual force from where life emerges, where the Physical Body emerges, where all living organisms emerge. Since we are the children of a man and woman, not even Malkuth could exist without the presence of sex. Therefore, Yesod is the foundation of the Third Logos; Yesod is the center where the sexual force of the Third Logos gravitates.

There are two Trees which are in Eden: The Tree of the Science of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Science of Good and Evil is sex, and this Tree of Knowledge is represented by the sexual organs.

The Tree of Life is the Being, and in our Physical Body this Tree is represented by the spinal column.

Every true cultural doctrine has to study in detail these two Trees, because the study of one Tree without the study of the other gives an incomplete and useless knowledge.

For what purpose do we study the Being if we do not know about sex? Both Trees are from Eden and even share the same roots. These are the two main great columns of the White Lodge: Wisdom and Love. Wisdom is the Tree of the Science of Good and Evil, and Love is the Tree of Life.

The doctrine of the two Trees was deeply studied in ancient Egypt. The fatal shadow of the Tree of Life is the psychological “I.” The fatal shadow of the Tree of the Knowledge is fornication. People usually mistake the shadows for reality.

Whosoever finishes with the processes of the psychological “I” will Self-realize his Being himself. Whosoever stops fornicating is converted into a Christ.

And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat But of the tree of the Knowledge of good and evil, thou shall not eat of it For in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Genesis 2:16, 17

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Genesis 3:6

And the Lord God said, Behold the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever…

So he drove out the man and he placed at the east of the Garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Genesis 3:22, 2

If the fallen human being could have eaten from the delicious fruits of the Tree of Life, then today we would have fornicating Gods. That would have been a damnation of damnations. That would have been the most terrible sacrifice. That would have been the impossible.

Therefore, the Flaming Sword of Cosmic Justice is brandished; it is blazing, frightening and terrible guarding the way towards the Tree of Life.

The Innermost was born from the Sephirothic Crown; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Innermost is enveloped within six inferior vehicles that co-penetrate themselves and from the human being. All of the faculties and powers of the Innermost are the fruits of the Tree of Life. The human being will eat form the fruits of the Tree of Life when he returns to Eden in the same way that he departed. Then, the human being will see God face to face without dying. Lightning will serve as a scepter for him and tempests as carpet for his feet.

Ten surges of life exist that penetrate and co-penetrate within themselves without any type of confusion; These ten eternal emanations are the Ten Sephiroth of Kabbalah, the Ten branches of the Tree of Life. Now we begin to understand why God put ten fingers on our hands.

The twelve senses of the human being (7 charkas or churches + 5 physical sense = 12) are related with our spinal column. The spinal column is the physical exponent of the Tree of Life. The twelve senses are the twelve fruits of the Tree of Life.
