The Arcanum 10 of the Tarot

The Ten Sephiroth

1. Man is made up of ten principles:

2. Man is Kether, the Ancient of Days.

3. The second principle is Chokmah, the Cosmic Christ within us.

4. The third is Binah, the Mother, the Holy Spirit within us.

5. The fourth is Chesed, the Innermost.

6. Chesed is a precious lamp that the Mother carries in her hand.

7. The fifth is Geburah, our Spiritual Soul, our superlative consciousness (Buddhi).

8. The sixth is our Human Soul, Tiphereth.

9. The seventh is Netzach, the mental body.

10. The eighth is Hod, the astral body.

11. The ninth is Yesod, the ethereal body.

12. The tenth is Malkuth, the physical body.

13. Moses succeeded in incarnating Binah within himself, but he did not go any further.

14. Happy are those who succeed in incarnating within themselves the Cosmic Christ (Chokmah).

15. Still happier are those who incarnate within themselves their own Ancient of Days, the Kindness of Kindnesses, the Supreme Absolute.

16. On the mount of Oreb, the Mother appeared to Moses among the burning flame of the bramble; he fell to the ground and his Mother Binah, Adonai-Jehovah, entered within him...

17. In this way, Moses was illuminated.

18. The ten sephiroth are atomic.

19. When we have arrived at three thousand esoteric years, the ten sephiroth shine like precious stones in the body of the Ancient of Days.

20. Esoteric ages are esoteric time.

21. Esoteric time is sacred. It is states of consciousness.

22. Esoteric time has nothing to do with profane chronological time.

23. The sephiroth form the body of Adam Kadmon.

24. When man is Self-realized in depth, he enters the kingdom of Adam Kadmon.

25. In the kingdom of Adam Kadmon the end is absorbed into the Absolute where life shines, free in its movement.
