Iesod The Pure Intelligence - 10-01 Connectome

From the Sephyr Yetzirah: "The Pure Intelligence. It Purifies the Emanations; it proves and corrects the designing of their representations". [[The Sephirah]] of the Etheric plane, the powerhouse and machinery of the physical world. Holds the framework in which the particles of dense matter are enmeshed. It (the Etheric) has an energy of integration which co-ordinates the physical molecules, etc., into an organism, it has a vitality. Living things, animals, plants and minerals are its products. The Etheric body has the power to feel, not the physical body. Protoplasm, which shows its presence in response to stimuli (hence; fibrous nerve tissue)… the formation of a nervous system is caused by an admixture of astral with Etheric force: thus only rudimentary in plants and even more so in minerals. All have their structure built and held by Etheric web or network, thus it is the ‘foundation’. Since the structure is built from this station, Yesod may be said to hold the image of everything that exists in the physical world. Also has the power to alter the images or change the physical body. The ‘supreme integrated image’ in Yesod is that of the “Luminous Image of The Creator”, which is shone forth and concealed in the physical world: Almighty Living God. The Etheric; images of pre-physical manifestation of all the higher manifestations; and all the vast body of teachings about the moon and moon magic belong to Yesod. The God-Name is ‘Shaddai El Chai’ which is traditionally translated as ‘Almighty Living God’. The Order of Beings is ‘Kerubim’: the Strong. The virtue is Independence and the title is ‘Treasure house of Images’. The Spiritual Experience is: Vision of the Machinery of the Universe. [the colors are given as: Indigo, Violet, very dark Purple, and Citrine flecked Azure.] The Archangel is Gabriel: Who Gives the Powers of Visions. He can be imagined as Blue-Green with liquid Silver and peacock swirls of Blue and Green, in order to bring on [[Clairvoyance]] and [[Clairaudience]]. His Telesmatic Image may be transformed into an enormous Silver Pillar, which may then be transformed into an immense 9-sided silver crystal, reflecting Silver and Blue-Green light. It is advisable to conclude by re-transformation back into the more protective Angelic form The complete understanding of the mechanism which work the body, so that it may be cured in sickness, maintained in health, rejuvenated when old, are contained in Yesod (the Etheric Foundation) behind the physical Kingdom in Malkuth. It has also much to do with the growth of plants. (The increase in radioactivity and radioactive fallout is having the effect of rendering the Etheric levels less dense. In addition it is becoming easier for Spirit to interpenetrate into the dense physical sheaths.)
