magicians in the Astral plane; those tenebrous magicians attempt to drive the disciple away from the luminous path)."

The Angel has two cups or two jars with which he mixes two elixirs; one cup is of gold and contains the red elixir; the other is of silver containing the white elixir.

We should whiten the brass, the Devil who is the psychological trainer and guardian of the doors of the Sanctuary so that only the chosen, only those who have been able to pass all the tests imposed by the Devil, enter.

Arcane 16 FRAGILITY

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATE. In the waters of life is the Staff of power, the staff of command and the flail (whip) which represents fragility. The two serpents, the positive and the negative are on both sides of these symbols. From the superior part descends the Ray of Cosmic Justice, destroying the tower that the Cabbalists call the Tower of Babel. Two personages are precipitated to the bottom of the abyss, one to the right and the other to the left. They fall forming the sign of the inverted blazing Star with their two arms, legs and head downwards; symbolizing the fall of the Boddhisattwas; the fall is because of Sex; because of spilling the Glass of Hermes. One must distinguish between a fall and a descent; the Initiate descends to the Ninth Sphere during the work in the forge to destroy his defects in the inferior regions to then ascend to the heavens; a heaven won after each hell worked. The Initiate falls when he spills the Semen. Timetable: "Seventh Hour of Apollonius. The fire comforts the unanimated and if any priest, a sufficiently purified man, steals it and then projects it, if he mixes it with the sacred oil and consecrates it, he will be able to heal all illnesses and by merely applying it to the infected part (here the initiate sees his material fortune threatened and his business fails)."

Arcane 18 TWILIGHT

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATE. A Scorpion within an inverted triangle is in the waters of life, signifying that on spilling the Glass of Hermes, we kill the Divine Mother like the scorpion. In the middle there are two pyramids, one white and the other black, symbolizing the Positive and the Negative. Two dogs or wolves, one white and the other black, bark at the Moon; the white is positive, symbolizes friendship; the black is negative, symbolizes the psychological I. This represents the terrible struggle between the tenebrous forces. The Moon by itself represents Sex; we should work with the Moon to convert it into the Sun. The dog also represents the sexual instinct; that is why it is the dog who takes us to the very door of the Absolute. Timetable: "Ninth Hour of Apollonius. Here nothing is finished yet. The Initiate increases his perception until he surpasses the limits of the Solar System, beyond the Zodiac. He arrives at the threshold of the infinite. He reaches the limits of the intelligible world. The divine light is revealed and with all of this also appear new fears and dangers (Study of the Lesser Mysteries, the nine arcades on which the student must ascend)."

Arcane 19 INSPIRATION

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATE. Three flowers in the water of life represent the Three Primary forces. In the middle is a couple holding hands, forming the Tao key.

In the middle is a Mummy; from it escapes a Sparrow Hawk with a human head, flies toward the worlds of the Spirit and represents the Soul. It is undubitable that on awakening Consciousness we transform ourselves into Sparrow Hawks with human head, being able to fly freely throughout the starry space. On top of the head of the Sparrow Hawk and the Mummy is a symbol that is representative of the pineal gland, a sign of illumination. The Soul of any Egyptian hierophant has four bodies: 1st The Mummy. 2nd The Ka (Astral body). 3rd The Ba (Mental body). 4th The Ku (Causal body). Woe of those who, after having attained the Second Birth, continue alive. Those shall in fact convert themselves into Hanasmussins (abortions of the Divine Mother Kundalini) with a double center of gravity. Timetable: "Eleventh Hour of Apollonius. The Angels, Cherubims and Seraphims fly with the sound of wings; there is rejoicing in heaven; the Earth and the Sun which surge from Adam awaken (this process belongs to the great initiations of Major Mysteries, where only the terror of the Law reigns)."

Arcane 21 TRANSMUTATION

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATE. In the superior part we find the Black Moon and the White moon, the Antithesis. In the middle is a magician with the staff of the Patriarchs in one hand and the Crux Ansata or tao cross in the other hand; he is standing on a crocodile that open its jaws, waiting to devour him. The Crocodile is Seth, Satan, the psychological I, the myself, always waiting for him who lets himself fall to devour him. The magician courageously holds the Tao Cross (the Arcanum A.Z.F.) to defend himself. The magician is covered by a tiger's skin. Indubitably, the Dog and the Tiger are esoterically associated in the same work of Mystical Death. The Dog is the Sexual Fire, the erotic instinct found in the very root of our seminal system. The Tiger is different and this is known by the "Knights of the Tiger," those jaguar who struggle against the Ego, who like authentic Felines of revolutionary psychology, have launched themselves against themselves, against their own psychological defects.

The sagacity and fierceness of the tiger are really necessary to kill the Human Personality and to cause to shine in him the Dragon of Wisdom of the seven serpents, symbol of the decapitated. Timetable: "Twelfth Hour of Apollonius. The Towers of the fire disturbs (this is the triumphant entrance of the Master into the limitless bliss of Nirvana for the love of humanity for the love of humanity and he becomes a Boddhisattwa of compassion)."

result is greater than 22, one again add up the digits, the resulting total is the card of prediction of the 2 Lesser arcanes.

Example 1: 11 26 42 The tame lion : 11 Prodigiousness: 26 = 2 + 6 = 8 Preeminence : 42 = 4 + 2 = 6

11 + 8+ 6 25 => 2 + 5 = 7 (Answer: Triumph). Example 2: 10 30 59 Retribut ion : 10 Exchange : 30 = 3 + 0 = 3 Revelation : 59 = 5 + 9 = 14 = 1 + 4 = 5 10 + 3 + 5 = 18 (Answer: Twilight). It is necessary to know the 22 Arcanes. After knowing them one will use the practical part of prediction intelligently in cases of much importance. It is necessary to know the significance of Prediction. The cards are placed from the Astral and mathematical point of view, one asks for help from the Holy Spirit; one uses the number, Mathematics. All laws are made up by numbers; weight and measure. Many persons use the Tarot in an empirical manner and that is why they do wrong. The last item taught in Cabbalistic prediction is that in order for us to use number wisely, we have to study and comprehend the significance of each card.

THE CABBALA AND THE YEAR ONE WAS BORN IN We now continue with Mathematics; our entire life develops with Mathematics. The Law of Karma develops with numbers. First example: Eduardo del portillo: Date of birth 1.932. One adds the year one was born into the same year. 1.932 1 9 3 + 2 1.947 = 1 + 9 + 4 + 7 = 21 (See Arcane 21) 21 = 2 + 1 = 3 (See Arcane 3)

1.947 1 9 4 + 7 1.968 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 8 = 24 (See Arcane 24) 24 = 2 + 4 = 6 (the enamoured met his fiancee in 1.968) 1.968 1 9 6 + 8 1.992 = 1 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 21 (See Arcane 21) 21 = 2 + 1 = 3 (Marks a spiritual and economic triumph that year, don't forget). Second Example: Arturo Aguirre: date of birth, the year 1.937 1.937 1 9 3 + 7 1.957 = 1 + 9 + 5 + 7 = 22 = 2 + 2 = 4 (Success in the material plane). 1.957 1 9 5 + 7 1.979 = 1 + 9 + 7 + 9 = 26 = 2 + 6 = 8 (Tests and pains, have the patient of Job). Third Example: Luis Perez, year 1.920. 1.920 1 9 2 + 0 1.932 = 1 + 9 + 3 + 2 = 15 = 1 + 5 = 6

(Affected the heart, sentiment; the 6 is related with the moral part; that year his father died and that was very serious to him). 1.932 1 9 3 + 2 1.947 = 1 + 9 + 4 + 7 = 21 + 2 + 1 = 3 (Material and spiritual production). Fourth Example: Nicolas Naranjo, year 1.946. 1.946 1 9 4 + 6 1.966 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 6 = 22 = 2 + 2 = 4 (Success because he knew Gnosis). 1.966 1 9 6 + 6 1.988 = 1 + 9 + 8 + 8 = 26 = 2 + 6 = 8 (He will continue working with success).

INNER URGENCY

The Inner Urgency is calculated by Kabbalistically adding the date of birth, the day, month and year. First Example: Victor Manuel Chavez: 17 of November, 1921. Day 17 = 1 + 7 = 8 Month 11 = 1 + 1 = 2 Year 1.921 = 1 + 9 + 2 + 1 = 13 = 1 + 3 = 4 Day 8 Month 2 Year + 4 14 = 1 + 4 = 5

(The Arcane 5 of tarot is rigor, study, science, analysis, investigation, intellect; that Inner Urgency makes him become reasoning). Second Example: Mr. Rodriguez: 5th of June, 1.905. Day 5 Month 6 Year 1.905 = 1 + 9 + 0 + 5 = 15 = 1 + 5 = 6 Day 5 Month 6 Year + 6 17 = 1 + 7 = 8 (The 8 makes us patient, passive, energetic, just, upright, there have been sufferings, struggles, study, he has had to go through many tests). Third example: Eduardo del Portillo: 5th of july, 1.923. Day 5 Month 7 Year 1.932 = 1 + 9 + 3 + 2 = 15 = 1 + 5 = 6 Day 5 Month 7 Year + 6 18 = 1 + 8 = 9 (The ninth sphere, the Hermit in the middle of everyone looking for the Light, will produce genial works. Developing a great energy has made him a Hermit on the path of existence).

THE FUNDAMENTAL KEYNOTE The Fundamental Keynote is the Inner Urgency added onto the Cabbalistic sum of the number of letters of the complete name. First Example: Victor Manuel Chaver Caballero: 5 Inner Urgency. V I C T O R M A N U E L C H A V E Z C A B A L L E R O 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 6 6 6 9

Third example: Margarita Garcia Sancho Fernandez: 5 Inner Urgency. M A R G A R I T A G A R C I A S A N C H O F E R N A N D E Z 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 9 6 6 9 9 + 6 + 6 + 9 = 30 = 3 + 0 = 3 3 3 + 5 = 8 + 5 Inner Urgency 8 Fundamental Keynote 8: Tests and pain, a number of reflection, advice, comprehension, analysis, tests.

THE KEY NOTE OF THE DAY The Keynote of the Day is calculated adding the Fundamental Keynote to the Cabbalistic sum of the date that we have chosen. Because of this system one knows how it will be so that one can know how to act that day. First Example: Victor Manuel Chavez: Date is April 30, 1.969. Fundamental Keynote : 5 Day 30 = 3 + 0 = 3 Month 4 = 4

Year 1.969 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 9 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7 Day 3 Month 4 5 Year + 7 + 5 Fundamental Keynote

14 = 1 + 4 = 5 10 10 = 1 + 0 = 1 Keynote of the Day 30 of April 1.969. 10 is the Wheel of Fortune, Change. The 1 is initiative, what Begins, what Starts, Originality, Effort. Second example: Mr. Guillermo Hickie: Date is May 1, 1.969. Fundamental Keynote : 8 Day 1 = 1 Month 5 = 5 Year 1.969 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 9 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7 Day 1 Month 5 4 Year + 7 + 8 Fundamental Keynote

13 = 1 + 3 = 4 12 12 = 1 + 2 = 3 Keynote of the Day May 1, 1.969 3 is what is artistic, the three primary forces, material as well as spiritual production. Production, multiplication, what is lovely, what is creative, harmony, art, beauty. Third example: Mr. Gil: Keynote of july 27, 1.969. Fundamental Keynote : 3 Day 27 = 2 + 7 = 9 Month 7 = 7 Year 1.969 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 9 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7 Day 9 Month 7 5 Year + 7 + 3 Fundamental Keynote 23 = 2 + 3 = 5 8 Keynote of Day 8 is tests, sorrows, one has to multiply patience, cooperation, know how to wait, reflect, seriousness in thought, distinguish between what is more useful and less useful, between what is and what is not. Do not do things rashly, scrutinize the pros and the cons with patience. Every one of the numbers of the Cabbala have to be studied in depth.

EVENT OF THE DAY One has to know how to choose with exactness the hour of the Day or Night to carry out successfully any real activity. One can choose an Hour, a Day, a Month, a Year, for his particular activities. Conventionalism are not considered, for example, one should not use 21 hours but the nine hours. First Example: Victor Manuel Chavez. Date of birth: 11/17/1.921. Inner Urgency: 5 Fundamental Keynote: 5 Date to investigate: May 14, 1.969. Hour of event: 9 A.M. Day 14 = 1 + 4 = 5 Month 5 = 5 Year 1.969 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 9 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7 Day 5 Month 5 8 Year + 7 + 5 Fundamental Keynote 17 = 1 + 7 = 8 13 13 = 1 + 3 = 4 Keynote of the Day 5/14/1.969. With 4 one has to know how to complete business matters, details of any activity. The most interesting Hour of that day was 9 in the morning. 4 Keynote of the Day + 9 13 = 1 + 3 = 4 He at this hour had to take care of job-related matter and it went well for him. 4 is the base, it is to know how to complete matters. Second example: Mrs. Margarita Sancho fernandez. Date of birth: 11/4/1.943. Inner Urgency: 5 Fundamental Keynote: 8 Date to Investigate: June 13, 1.969. Day 13 = 1 + 3 = 4

Month 6 = 6 Year 1.969 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 9 = 25 = 2 + 5 = 7 Day 4 Month 6 8 Year + 7 + 8 Fundamental Keynote 17 = 1 + 7 = 8 16 16 = 1 + 6 = 7 Keynote of the Day 6/13/1.969. One has to be able so as not to fall, energy should be directed intelligently, struggle to rise. 16 is the Fulminated Tower. The event of the day is at 11 at night. 7 Keynote of Day 11 = 1 + 1 = 2 + 2 Hour 9 Event of the Day The event of the day is to work with the Ninth Sphere. With regard to the hours I have to dissent with many Cabbalists, because they believe that the Inner Urgency is governed by such planets, such hours but keep in mind that the order of the Calendar is altered, because this was convenient for the Priests. The actual Calendar is adulterated. The Priests of the Middles Ages altered it with the goal of making Sunday the seventh day.

THE REAL CALENDAR IS: ACTUAL REAL ASTROLOGICAL Sunday Monday Moon Monday Wednesday Mercury Tuesday Friday Venus Wednesday Sunday Sun Thursday Tuesday Mars Friday Thursday Jupiter Saturday Saturday Saturn This is the most ancient order because it is the Order of the worlds in the solar system. The Cabbalists tie themselves into knots, if to that is added an adulterated calendar, on choosing an hour and specific day to act, it does not work, it does not yield results because it is adulterated. Mathematics is very exact.

We should learn to utilize the hours. With this system the exactness of deeds is proven. this subject of mathematics is very important in Cabbala. To apply the 22 Arcanes to the Hours is the true Astral Clock.
