The Egyptian Tarot allegedly represents — according to classical occult tradition — the total amount of Knowledge possible in the past, present, and future of the human race on this earth.
The Tarot images were usually carved on the columns of the most secret initiatory temples of Egypt, deep underground. Moses borrowed ideas from them for his sacred books.
The Tarot is not a spiritual conception or system like the doctrines of Christ, Vedanta, Islam, or Buddhism. But strangely enough, in the ultimate depths of its ideas one can see the dawn of the Immaterial Light, independent of all the three worlds in which Hermeticism operates.
The basis of the Tarot is the three planes well known to all occultists:
1. The physical world of dense matter with all its various forms of life, inhabitants, laws, and possibilities.
2. The world of the more subtle concentration of matter, which far exceeds the finest physical ones, known as gases, radiant, and so on.
It is called the plane of emotions, or the astral world. Invisible to the ordinary eye, this vast region extends and penetrates into all physical matter. Our vehicles of consciousness also include an astral counterpart as well as the mental one; but generally we are unable to operate consciously and deliberately with either of these two subtle bodies without self–training and discipline.
It is unlike the physical one, which seems to be fairly well under control, since we can move it, perform innumerable activities, feel it, see it, and so on. A physical liaison with the astral counterpart is located in the solar plexus.
3. This is a still more subtle combination of matter that corresponds to vibrations of the power we call mind, and whose visible physical conductor is the brain.
The Tarot is Neutral: neither "Good" nor "Evil" in itself, just like figures that can express any quantity, suitable or unsuitable, true or false.
The whole system is based on the universal principle that manifests itself in every sphere of life. We may call it the law ( Tetragrammaton of Hermetists ). The symbols used are letters of the old Hebrew alphabet, plus figures and numbers. Three veils for three worlds. This is comfortable, for knowing the meaning of such a letter–symbol, etc., that is the fixed idea behind it, we can operate just as a mathematician does with algebraic formulas and terms. It is also very valuable for those who, being tired of the usual occult bungling that occurs at the present time, want to found their studies on a firm basis, without sacrificing their reason and logical thinking.
The great law, which I have mentioned, is the same for all the three worlds in which we may employ the Tarot.
1. If there is any manifestation in time and space ( this does not necessarily mean only the three–dimensional physical space ), then there must be first the acting element or power that initiates ( or begins ) the process. We symbolize it by the figure one (1), and letter "Yod". This element is positive, dynamic, and active. The picture on the FIRST Arcanum ( or Trump ) of the Tarot represents a man, standing with one leg crossed. He is sometimes called a magician. The same three qualities as given above are ascribed to and connected with the figure 1 and the letter "Yod".
2. Apart from the active primary principle ( or as some would prefer, creation ) there is still a second element necessary for manifestation, which element being the receptacle, a screen, something to serve as a basis or fulcrum for the active "Yod".
This element is passive, negative, and material. Its number is of course two (2), the Hebrew letter "Hè" and the picture on the card is of a seated woman.
3. When "Yod" acts upon "Hè", the third principle appears, having the number three (3), and letter "Vau". It is the result of the action, and it is neutral, reflecting in itself the qualities of the first and second trumps of the Tarot, just like a child depending upon its parents.
4. The primary THREE as a whole forms a New Unit, the first family, metaphysically conceived on the most subtle plane of being, next after the unmanifested, immaterial Absolute.
This element bears the number four (4), its letter is the SECOND "Hè". This letter is not passive as in the second Arcanum, but active, being the "Yod" of the next triangle. It is essential to realize this, for only then can the mighty idea of the Tetragrammation ( Yod – Hè – Vau – Hè ) be properly understood. Incidentally, the reader has probably noticed that the Tetragrammation is identical with the biblical, mysterious NAME OF GOD.
The fourth trump creates a new unit ( triangle ) as was stated above, producing new, more complicated forms of manifestation in the gradually arising, more densely material lower worlds.
This law works on every plane of existence. In the abstruse ( abstract ) realm we already had a look at it. On the astral plane, for example, it can be expressed as: impulse (1) plus astral surroundings (2) creates emotion (3). The whole will form what we call experience, or the emotional process in man. Man ( Yod ), wife ( Hè ) and child ( Vau ) are a unit ( Second Hè ) of a new quality and of extended activity (4) able to repeat the primordial process in a wider field.
The first FOUR form the primary symbolical triangle of the Tarot. Its upper point is 1 = Yod; left is 2 = Hè; right is 3 = Vau. The point placed in the middle of this triangle being also the FIRST point of a new one, is 4 = second Hè. It is equal to the Yod of the first projection of force. To this come new seeds, as in the first case: a new 2 = Hè, while 3 = Vau, and so on.
On this scheme are constructed seven mystical triangles of the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot. Each one has a different meaning and relation to the manifested world. ( Think of the Major Arcana as being a "base 22" counting system, with Zero (0) being a real number. )
On it is also based the whole numerology of Hermeticism.
Because any number can be reduced to one of the primary four, that is 1, 2, 3, 4, the process is usually called the theosophical addition or reduction.
Add all the figures of the particular number until they reach the singled figured one. Because it is necessary for you to know the meaning of all the figures beyond the four of the first triangle, you should know how to build the second and third triangles, using the method described above.
Extending the principles you find that the Yod's are: 1, 4, 7, that is active, positive, male. The first Hè: 2, 5, 8, negative, passive, female. Vau: 3, 6, 9, neutral, with balanced elements of Yod and Hè in them. The number 10 is of course Yod because: 10 = 1 + 0 = 1.
Proceed the same with all the following numbers that make up the system.
It is presumed that even the beginner–student of the Tarot has firmly memorized all that you have just read and that he knows exactly the meaning of all the 22 Major Arcana, as well as their symbolic cards and hieroglyphs.
Unless these concepts are well established in one's mind no study is possible.
There is another basic operation with the Major Arcana, and an example may be illuminating. But instead of addition we will now use analysis. As you aleady know to a certain degree about the first triangle, we may take, say, the third trump, then" 3 = 1 + 2. We may read this equation, in its physical realm as: child (3) has in itself element (1) father, and (2) mother. You may continue the same for other two planes.
The fourth Trump. In it: 4 = 3 + 1 This time we may take the mental–plane meaning of the analysis and we read: new creation (4) proceeds from the foregoing evolutionary unit (3), when a new active element (1) has been added.
As you may see, the possibility of creating exact and new conceptions with the help of the Tarot's numerology is practically unlimited. Try to calculate how many combinations you can arrange of all the 22 Arcana, when even with a low numerical value, as for example, that of 4, you can already obtain the following equations:
4 = 3 + 1, 4 = 2 + 2, 4 = 1 + 3, 4 = 2 + 1 + 1, and so on.

In Paul A. M. Dirac's "Theory of Particles and Anti–particles", there are four states of entity:
- Occupied state of positive energy ( e.g., electrons );
- Unoccupied state of positive energy ( e.g., "holes" as treated in Semiconductor Physics );
- Occupied state of energy; and
- Unoccupied state of negative energy ( e.g., positrons ).
States 2, and 3, are in a negative energy state, while states 1, and 4, are considered to be in a positive one. From this, one knows that it is necessary to convert the g strain energy into power with "holes" ( the unoccupied state of the electron ). Now in reality, g strain energy is composed of "holes" ...

( letter Pilón ( F,P ) — Number 80 )
THE STAR OF THE MAGI: H 0 P E
F,P – 80 expresses in the Divine World Immortality: in the Intellectual World the Inner Light that Illuminates the Spirit: in the Physical World Hope.
Numerically, 17 is the 2nd decave of 8, denoting the crystallized condition of Arcanum VIII polarized to the frequency-level denoted by Arcanum II. It is involution followed by evolution, for, after all, matter is but polarized spirit. In the universe there is but one Principle, which manifests under two modes of motion as force and will. There is but one LAW, and this is sex, manifesting as male and female. There is but one Agent, which manifests as spirit and matter. And there is but one Truth, which manifests as appearance and reality. This is the truth represented by the star of Arcanum XVII.
Arcanum XVII pictures the finding of the Fountain of Eternal Youth. Gold and Silver have been completely purified and the dross removed. Each, united to a proper flux, has been reduced to the first matter in the reverberatory (resonate) furnace. And as a result of their transmuted union they are no longer merely gold and silver, but a delectable fluid, the coveted elixir of life. ( — The flowing light fluid of super conductors – The mono-atomic super conducing gold is energized through the passive actions of the silver principle! )
Many have sough, but few have found, this precious draught. Some who have had it ready to their hand, have failed to recognized it. Others have discovered it accidentally, and while deeply awed by its wonderful properties have never perceived its Real Use and partaken of its life-giving properties. More have been poisoned by drinking that which they hoped would prove to be the elixir, a fluid somewhat resembling it, but in reality
quite destructive. Yet Arcanum XVII pictures its preparation in unmistakable terms to those who do not discard the simple and plain in search for the intricate and complex.

Hope in the time of suffering, but beware of prosperity. Do not fall asleep in laziness or forgetfulness.

THE CROWN OF THE MAGI: T H E R E W A R D
This, the Supreme Arcanum of Magism, is represented by a garland of golden roses surrounding a star and placed in a circle around which are set at equal distances the heads of a man, a bull, a lion and an eagle.
This is the sign with which the Magus decorates himself when he has reached the highest degree of initiation and has thus acquired a power limited only by his own intelligence and wisdom.
Remember, son of Earth that the empire of the World belongs to the empire of Light, which is the throne reserved by God for sanctified Will. Happiness for the Magus is the fruit of the knowledge of Good and Evil; but God only allows it to be plucked by the man sufficiently master of himself to approach it without covetousness.

THE CROCODILE: E X P I A T I 0 N
S–300 represents the Punishment Following Every Error. You can see here a blind man carrying a full beggar's wallet about to collide with a broken obelisk, on which a crocodile is waiting with open jaws. This blind man is the symbol of he who makes himself the slave of material things. His wallet is packed with his errors and his faults. The broken obelisk represents the ruin of his works; the crocodile is the emblem of fate and the Inevitable Expiation.
0, Zero
The circle is active within itself.
Man is a System, a System of Ego, and a System of Body, Combining to Form a System of Being.
Man, the Engineer, is the Link Between an Idea and the Object.
Will itself mysteriously produces the activity of facts of the physical plane.

Stable Matter.
No force action is pure! Forces interplay across their boundaries.
They affect one another. They are said to be antagonistic toward each other when the forces cancel each other out ( Inhibit ) to some degree or they are said to be friendly ( Symbiotic ) when they reinforce each other. The relationships of different forces are not necessarily linear i.e. 1 to 1, but they always follow repeating patterns and can be mathematically described.
Everything in our universe can be classed according to NUMBER, MEASURE, AND, WEIGHT.
ZERO is also the Unless Principle.
Nothing changes while always changing, UNLESS something changes that nothing changed. Put simply a system remains stable within itself UNLESS acted upon by another exterior force.
