Dear Rawn,

Just some more questions, some regarding previous posts in this 
thread.

If the seven doubles can be associated with the seven planets, then I 
take it that the twelve signs of the zodiac can be directly 
associated with the twelve rinds? If so, then the twelve sections of 
the city of gold that lead out from the Tiphereth temple naturally 
express the nature of these twelve rinds?

Do the ten steps of IIH roughly relate to ten sepheroth?

Having gone through the Netzach meditation within the Eight Temples 
Meditaiton project, I have a number of questions, ands comments about 
it.

My first comment would be as to how you seem to have placed the 
imagry of three different tarot cards into the meditaiton. The path 
of the Moon being the path to the wall, the Star being the aspect of 
Raphael in the form of the naked woman and finially the aspect of 
Raphael as complete as the image of Temperence. While the imagry of 
the Star and Temperence are in their right place when looking at your 
discussion upon the 32 paths of wisdom, you also state that the path 
of the Moon connects Hod with Mulkuth in the Hebrew 
tradition...whereas within the Western Hermetic tradition it connects 
Netzach with Mulkuth. So...what gives? The use of the imagry seems 
proper, but still. It's one of those odd mixings of Hebrew and 
Hermetic traditions.

In step 6 of the Archeaous you introduce the formation of an 
elemental harmony within the three bodies via the accumulation of the 
four elements within their respective region. I take it that the same 
sort of work can be done with regards to impreginating the three 
bodies with the various forms of the tree of life that are related to 
that body?

Within your writings, you associate akasha with Atziluth; the mental 
realm with Briah; the astral realm with Yetzirah; and the physical 
realm with Assaih. Yet within your commentary upon KTQ you have the 
Gra tree represent the world of Briah, when elsewhere you state that 
the Gra tree is the best representation of the tree within the Sepher 
Yetzirah. So how do you rectify this point of contradiction?

Love and Live well,
