Boaz and Jachin

The two pillars of the Great Arcanum. Boaz is black and on the left, Jachin is white and is on the right. Jachin is masculine and represents the Father in Secret. Boaz is feminine and represents the Divine Mother. The rustic Cubic Stone is placed between the pillars and is eventually chiseled into the perfect Cube. This is the secret of the Great Arcanum.

Tetragrammaton

τετραγραμμάτων – Greek for ‘four letters’.

A Greek word referring to the Hebrew name of God, the Holy Four-lettered Name יהוה YHVH (Yod He Vau He) often translated as Jehovah, or erroneously as Yahve, Yahweh or Jahve, which is actually the name of a demon although it is spelled the same way. This word has many levels of meaning and application.

In Greek, the Solar Logos, the Ain Soph Aur, is named Christ. Yet, in ancient Egypt, when the initiates addressed Christ, the Ain Soph Aur, they addressed him as RA (Re).

When in ancient Egypt they addressed the three aspects of the first triangle of the Tree of Life, namely, Kether, Chokmah, Binah, the three of them together were called Osiris.

In order to address these four parts together — the Ain Soph Aur or RA plus the three primary forces or the three Sephiroth of the first triangle of the Tree of Life — the ancients of Egypt addressed them as Osiris-Ra. In Greek they called them the Tetragrammaton. Osiris-Ra is precisely the great name that we find in the Book of the Dead. Thus, Osiris-Ra as יהוה refers to Kether, Chokmah, Binah and the Ain Soph Aur as one.

Nirmanakaya

The third kaya, Nirmanakaya, means “creation body.” It is also called “manifestation body” because Nirmana can be translated as “construction, creation, manifestation.” This corresponds exactly to Kabbalah. Nirmanakaya relates with the sephirah Binah, which in Hebrew means “intelligence.” In Christianity, Binah is called the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the creative power of God, the Father-Mother, Abba-Ima, or Yab-Yum who brings life, who gives life. 

In Kabbalah, we study four worlds. The trikaya relate with the world Atziluth, the first world, the world of archetypes. So these three kaya represent the archetypes in all things. We have inside of us our internal spiritual archetype, a blueprint of the buddha that we should become, the angel, the god, the master that we should be. But we are not. That blueprint is the three kaya in us. When we take seriously, daily, the science to realize our true nature, which is that blueprint, we begin to create that true god, that master who is in us. We are putting into motion the creative power of the three kaya in us, through us. That power is sexual and psychological. In other words, the reality body (Dharmakaya), using the knowledge of Sambhogakaya (perfect sexual enjoyment) creates through the Nirmanakaya (the manifestation or creation body) and thus the three kaya become Father-Mother, Yab-Yum. They create through, what is called in Hebrew, Daath, the Tree of Knowledge, Tantra. There is nothing animal there, no lust; instead, it is divine, pure sexuality. Krishna and his spouse represents this pure love of god and goddess, what in Hebrew are called Elohim: God-Goddess united to create universes, worlds, a soul, us, as a master.
