the Wheel of Eight/the Lyre of eight strings

We are in the ancient eighth month, the time when the pleiades culminates at zenith at midnight. This is a revered place on the wheel of the year. In the tradition of the whispered kabbalah this is the time that the entire globe, "round as a ball", as the Zohar tells us in volume III-Vayikra 10a.becomes aware in a new way, a "temple" becomes completed. Remember the first manuscripts of this great book appeared about 200 years before Copernicus told the world that the Earth was a sphere. Now we are moving again from a "flat earth" to a "round earth". This "round" now being about the ocean of being/soul that the entire physical universe floats within. The integration of the teachings and wisdom of a temple school is found also in Zohar and other texts as the great wheel, the day, the month, the year and a lifetime. Ezekiel's vision of the wheel of initiation is found in the Americas as well in the medicine wheel teachings. The wheel can be worked with the four spokes giving eight points on the round and the continuum-road of self through the center vertically. Here we find "wheel of Earth" as the ancient text of kabbalah quoted last year at this time gives us. The Earth is made into wheel of Earth when the crown of the Seraphim is completed here. This crown has a distance of 502 years according to the Sepher Hechaloth((Hebrew Enoch). This number may also be found by adding up the years of the three Jewish patriarchs lives. There are also two ways of calculating how long it would take in years of duration to bring the Wheel of Earth Chayoth fully united to the Earth sphere herself. The Sepher HaAggadah/Book of Legends gives us one calculation. We are told that it takes a distance of 500 years to get to the first heaven. 500 more years distance to traverse the first heaven and so on through the seven heavens. Therefore you will find that it takes 3500 years to get to the fourth heaven. The legends tell us that it is in the fourth heaven that the eternal third Temple may be found. This same calculation can be found when adding up the distances in years of the spans of the celestial beings as found in the Book of Palaces/Hechaloth. 2500 years for the body of an Ophan, 248 years for the wing of a Cherub and 502 years for the crown of the Seraph. With two wings we have a creature built of a 3498 journey in years. We have come 3500 years since the beginning of the Covenant with Abraham and Sarah as given in last weeks Torah parsha Lech Lecha- Go and make a sacred Earth of this land of Adamah. Bring in the eternal temple chariot supported by the celestial beings fully integrated with the holy Mother Earth. Nine degrees of these celestial beings from the ancient text. In the center of the eight spokes is the Wheel of Earth. The eighth month in an eight year and we sang Lech Lecha on the eighth day of Chesvan! We are in a time that we have gone past the natural wheel of seven with the discovery of matter that radiates light. Students of the alchemical Kabbalah will understand the wheel of the seven days and seven metals that hold the power of each day. Saturday traditionally corresponds to the "heaviest" of the metals in atomic number-82. Our times however are punctuated by the fact that we know about metals so heavy they radiate light like the stars. These times are spoken about with a warning from the Talmud, "The Holy One, Blessed is He, takes the hot sun out of its pouch, and the righteous are cured by it while the evil are judged by it. (Nedarim 8b; see the Pri Tzaddik, Parashas Bo 1). Some Rabbis because of this inference are sure there must be a nuclear nightmare before the redemption/Geulah may begin. They are not aware of what we have right now. There will not be a nuclear holocaust. How can this writer of this little blog be so sure? The third eternal temple has already been consecrated in a sense by the light of a material with the atomic number 88. A piece of the sun, found in the Earth's crust. How is this for the number workings of HaShem? The musical workings and creative dance of the natural world is said to be orchestrated with a lyre of seven strings. The covenant at eight- the eighth mitzvah of Abraham after the seven given to Noach. Torah tells us we are to make a holy wheel of this entire sacred planet.In The times of the ingathering we are to listen for the Harp of Eight strings. Who may hear this sound, this sweet music? The wheel of the octave, the ogdoad, the eight legged weavers of the Earth, the nine degrees of Chayoth, weaving a tapestry of various beautiful colors in Earth and sky. We have a temple, "round as a ball"Zohar III-10a.
