"Those who have passed beyond the Illuminated Void and the relativity of life, experience that which is called Tality. The Tality is the Great Reality of life, free in its movement... It is unpostponable to Self-realize within ourselves that which is called Tality. The Tality is the Great Reality beyond perversity and holiness. The saints can never exist within the womb of the Tality, which is beyond perversity and holiness. There is nothing in the Tality which can be called holy. The Great Reality is the Great Reality, the Tality. The saints and the perverse ones revolve within the great Wheel of Samsara. Therefore, they are very far from the Tality... The Tality is beyond the machinery of relativity, and also beyond the Illuminated Void. The Tality is that which is beyond the body, the affections, and the mind. The Tality is that which is far beyond all dualism." - The Pistis Sophia Unveiled

One of the three gunas, or qualities of nature. The quality of darkness, foulness, ignorance, obscurity, heaviness or inertia. The “lowest” of the three qualities. From the Mahabarata: "Complete delusion, ignorance, illiberality, indecision in respect of action, sleep, haughtiness, fear, cupidity, grief, censure of good acts, loss of memory, unripeness of judgment, absence of faith, violation of all rules of conduct, want of discrimination, blindness, vileness of behaviour, boastful assertions of performance when there has been no performance, presumption of knowledge in ignorance, unfriendliness (or hostility), evilness of disposition, absence of faith, stupid reasoning, crookedness, incapacity for association, sinful action, senselessness, stolidity, lassitude, absence of self-control, degradation, - all these qualities are known as belonging to Darkness (Tamas). Whatever other states of mind connected with delusion exist in the world, all appertain to Darkness. Frequent ill-speaking of other people, censuring the deities and the Brahmanas (priests), illiberality, vanity, delusion, wrath, unforgiveness, hostility towards all creatures, are regarded as the characteristics of Darkness. Whatever undertakings exist that are unmeritorious (in consequence of their being vain or useless), what gifts there are that are unmeritorious (in consequence of the unworthiness of the donee, the unseasonableness of the time, the impropriety of the object, etc.), vain eating, - these also appertain to Darknesss (Tamas). Indulgence in calumny, unforgiveness, animosity, vanity, and absence of faith are also said to be characteristics of Darkness. Whatever men there are in this world who are characterised by these and other faults of a similar kind, and who break through the restraints provided by the scriptures, are all regarded as belonging to the quality of Darkness."

Sanskrit for "continuum" or "unbroken stream." This refers first (1) to the continuum of vital energy that sustains all existence, and second (2) to the class of knowledge and practices that harnesses that vital energy, thereby transforming the practitioner. There are many schools of Tantrism, but they can be classified in three types: White, Grey and Black. Tantra has long been known in the West as Alchemy.

“In the view of Tantra, the body's vital energies are the vehicles of the mind. When the vital energies are pure and subtle, one's state of mind will be accordingly affected. By transforming these bodily energies we transform the state of consciousness.” -The 14th Dalai Lama

(April 20th to May 20th) The second sign of the zodiac. Ruled by Venus. Related to the element earth.

"Taurines are gluttons; they love what is beautiful, gorgeous. Taurines love much and suffer much because they go through great amorous deceptions. When Taurines become furious, they are furious bulls. Taurines are like the ox: hardworking and tenacious." - Manual of Practical Magic

(Sanskrit, literally "brilliance, glow") 1) The tattva (energetic source) of the element of fire. 2) the aura seen around the head of a master.

Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God;" for God cannot be tempted with evil and he himself tempts no one; but each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin; and sin when it is full-grown brings forth death. - James 1:13-15

"Temptation is fire. Triumph over temptation is light." - Samael Aun Weor 

The results speak for themselves.  If there are no temptations there are no virtues.  Virtues are more grandiose when temptations are stronger.  What is important is not to fall into temptation.  That is why we have to pray to our Father, saying, “Lead us not into temptation.”  Only through the struggle, the contrast, the temptation, and rigorous esoteric discipline, can the flowers of virtue sprout from us." - The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of Tarot and Kabbalah 

The ninth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, it symbolizes the snake or serpent (nahash) in the Garden of Eden (Sex). Its Kabbalistic value is 9.

Abstract space; that which is without attributes or limitations. The Absolute has three aspects: the Ain, the Ain Soph, and the Ain Soph Aur.

"The Absolute is the Being of all Beings. The Absolute is that which Is, which always has Been, and which always will Be. The Absolute is expressed as Absolute Abstract Movement and Repose. The Absolute is the cause of Spirit and of Matter, but It is neither Spirit nor Matter. The Absolute is beyond the mind; the mind cannot understand It. Therefore, we have to intuitively understand Its nature." - Tarot and Kabbalah

"In the Absolute we go beyond karma and the gods, beyond the law. The mind and the individual consciousness are only good for mortifying our lives. In the Absolute we do not have an individual mind or individual consciousness; there, we are the unconditioned, free and absolutely happy Being. The Absolute is life free in its movement, without conditions, limitless, without the mortifying fear of the law, life beyond spirit and matter, beyond karma and suffering, beyond thought, word and action, beyond silence and sound, beyond forms." - The Major Mysteries

(Greek) Willpower.

“Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will (Thelema), but thine, be done.” - Luke 22: 42

So (Father), "do what thou wilt (Thelema), shall be the whole of the Law." And what is the whole of the law?

”Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself (who is thy Father, thy true Self).” - Matthew 22: 37-39

On these two commandments hang the whole of the law and the prophets.

1. The first one is called physical body, it is the famous Stula-Sarira of the Oriental theosophists.
2. The second one in Orient is called Linga-Sarira or Vital body and is the base of the organic life, the tetra-dimensional part of the physical body.
3. The third body is Kamas, the principle of desire, the famous Astral body cited by the medieval alchemists.
4. The fourth body is called the Mental body by the Hindustani and Inferior Manas in Sanskrit.
5. The fifth vehicle is the Causal body or Arupic as is called by the theosophists.
6. The sixth body is the Buddhic or Intuitional, the Superlative Consciousness of the Being.
7. The seventh is called Atman the Ineffable by the Hindustani... the Intimate (Innermost). Certainly, the ancient wisdom says: “Before that the false aurora ..... It is necessary to adore and worship the Intimate.”

The word is derived from the Greek theos (god, divinity) and sophia (wisdom). The Neoplatonists, the Gnostics, and the kabbalists are generally considered types of theosophists. Jakob Boehme, regarded as the father of modern theosophy, developed a complete theosophical system attempting to reconcile the existence of an all-powerful and all-good God with the presence of evil in the world. The philosophy and theology of Asia, especially of India, contain a vast body of theosophical doctrine. Modern theosophy draws much of its vocabulary from Indian sources. The Theosophical Society, with which theosophy is now generally identified, was founded in 1875 by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky; associated with her were H. S. Olcott and W. Q. Judge. Blavatsky wrote The Secret Doctrine (1888, repr. 1964) and Key to Theosophy (1931, rev. ed. 1969). An active exponent of theosophy in Europe, America, and the East was Annie Besant, who added many works to the literature on the subject.

(from Latin: theurgia, Greek: theourgeia, related to theos, "god," and ergon, "work") The action of Theos (God, the Monad). This is white magic, the influence and power that the Monad has over nature and its phenomena. This power and intelligence is exercised in many ways and can be exercised through the Bodhisattva or any particular solar body.

In order to assure succes in the development of the human being, one has to work daily with the three factors of the revolution of the consciousness:

1. To be born as a soul
2. To die as an ego
3. To sacrifice for others 

In Mahayana and Tantrayana Buddhism, these three factors are taught in a definitive order:

1. Death: to cease harmful action and its causes
2. Birth: to adopt virtuous action and support its causes
3. Sacrifice: to work for the benefit of others 

In Greek and Roman religion and mythology, the three daughters of Mother Earth, conceived from the blood of Uranus, when Kronos castrated him. They were powerful divinities that personified conscience and punished crimes against kindred blood, especially matricide. They were usually represented as winged women with serpent hair. Their names were Megaera [jealous], Tisiphone [blood avenger], and Alecto [unceasing in pursuit]. When called upon to act, they hounded their victims until they died in a “furor” of madness or torment. In the myth of Orestes they appear as Clytemnestra’s agents of revenge. After Athena absolved Orestes of guilt in the murder of his mother, she gave the Furies a grotto at Athens where they received sacrifices and libations, and became euphemistically known as the Eumenides [kindly ones]. Samael Aun Weor explains that the Three Furies are the same as the Three Traitors (see below).

An ancient esoteric symbol of our inner psychology. They are present in the Christian Gospel (Judas, Pilate, Caiaphas), in the Masonic Legend of Hiram Abiff, and are the Three Egyptian Demons who killed Osiris. These Three Traitors are related to our Three Brains and the Three Protoplasmatic Lunar Bodies.

"The first is the Demon of Desire, the second is the Demon of the Mind and the third is the Demon of Evil Will. The first one is inside the Astral Body. The second one is inside the Mental Body. The third is inside the Body of Will (Causal Body). All of these three together are the Black Dragon with three heads. They are also Sebal, Ortelut and Stokin, the three traitors of Hiram Abif. In short, these three unclean spirits are our psychological “I,” the ego, the myself." - The Aquarian Message

(the Aztec version of Chac) The Aztec and Mayan God of the rain. He was a main deity of the Aztecs and was worshipped at the Major Temple of Tenochtitlan.  Related to the Kabbalistic sphere of Binah, Tlaloc is seen as the symbol of the Holy Spirit (rain comes from the heavens) pouring or unfolding into Yesod (the earth below) in order to bring abundance (spiritual and material).  See: Binah

"Tlaloc is the God of rain. Tlalli means “ground”; Octli means “wine”; “the wine soaked up by the ground.”" - Aztec Christic Magic

"Who is Tlaloc? He is a king of nature; he is a perfect creature who is beyond good and evil. Inundation, drought, hail, ice, the lightning are in his hands, enough reason for the fright that ancient magician had against his wrath. One day while being in a state of profound meditation, I became in a direct contact with the blessed lord Tlaloc. This great Being lives in the causal world, beyond the body, affections and the mind. I experienced the tremendous reality of his presence in all of the parts of my Being. Exotically dressed, he looked like an Arab of ancient times. His countenance, impossible to describe with words, incomparable, it looked like a lightning. When I reprimanded him for the crime of having accepted too many sacrifices of children, women, men, elders, etc., etc., (Tlaloc also appears among the Aztecs and we are referring to those sacrifices) his answer was the following: "That was not my fault. I never demanded such sacrifices; these were things from the people there in the physical world." Thereafter, he concluded with the following words: "I will come again in the Age of Aquarius." Unquestionably, the God Tlaloc will reincarnate within few years." - The Kabbalah of the Mayan Mysteries

From trans (across) mutate (change): to change from one substance or form to another. From the American Heritage dictionary: (1) The act or an instance of transmuting; transformation. (2) Physics. Transformation of one element into another by one or a series of nuclear reactions. (3) The conversion of base metals into gold or silver in alchemy.

In Gnosticism, refers directly to the transformation of the sexual forces by application of conscious will. For more information, see Arcanum 14.

The Kabbalah. The Tree of Life is the Being. This tree represents the structure of the soul (microcosm) and of the universe (macrocosm).

"The Tree of Life is the spinal medulla. This Tree of Wisdom is also the ten Sephiroth, the twenty-two creative Major Arcana, letters, sounds and numbers, with which the Logos (God) created the Universe." - from Alcione, a lecture by Samael Aun Weor

(1357-1419) Also known as Je Rinpoche or Lozang Drakpa. A significant scholar and the founder of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism and the tradition of the Dalai Lamas.

"In 1387, with just reason, the Tibetan reformer Tsong Khapa cast every book of Necromancy that he found into flames. As a result, some discontent Lamas formed an alliance with the aboriginal Bhons, and today they form a powerful sect of black magic in the regions of Sikkim, Bhutan and Nepal, submitting themselves to the most abominable black rites." - The Revolution of Beelzebub

"Let us remember Tsong Khapa who reincarnated in Tibet; he was the Buddha Gautama previously." - from the lecture Mental Representations.

Tsong Khapa reportedly said, "A female companion is the basis of accomplishment of liberation."

In Irish mythology, invaders of ancient Ireland before the Milesians. They were endowed with great supernatural powers, which enabled them to defeat their predecessors, the Fomors. However, they were themselves defeated by the Milesians.

"Ancient Irish traditions (wisely consigned in the delectable chants of their bards or Nordic rhapsodies) spoke justly about an extraordinary Cainit or Inca people (in other words, “Priest Kings”) called the Tuatha Dé Danann who were very skillful in all types of magical arts learned in Thebes. Obviously, the Tuatha Dé Danann are a great Jinn people, prototype of the indefatigable traveler, “the errant Jew.” The Tuatha Dé Danann traversed the Mediterranean countries until arriving at the same Scandinavia where they founded four great magical cities, in addition to having previously founded a Lunar and a Solar city. When the Tuatha arrived in Ireland, they disembarked on that island, as Aeneas in Cartagus, protected by a thick magical mist (or the Veil of Isis of the fourth dimension that hid them). In other words, we state that the Tuatha returned to Ireland; they arrived there within the fourth dimension." - The Three Mountains

The five (5) physical senses plus the seven (7) awakened chakras or churches. These are the twelve fruits of the Tree of Life.

“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” - Revelation 22:2

“All of the faculties and powers of the Innermost are the fruits of the Tree of Life.  The human being will eat from the fruits of the Tree of Life when he returns to Eden in the same way that he departed.” - The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of Tarot and Kabbalah

(Greek) From The Theosophical Glossary: "Typhoeus in Hesiodic theogony is a son of Tartarus and Gaia, a fire-breathing titan with a hundred heads and begetter of destructive hurricanes. He rebels against the gods and is killed by Zeus with a thunderbolt and buried under Mount Etna. Typhon was originally his son -- post-type of himself -- but the two were later identified. He represents the necessary counterpart of Zeus, as darkness is of light, Set of Osiris, or Satan of God. He is the Dragon Apophis, the Accuser in The Egyptian Book of the Dead, murderer of Osiris, destroyed by Horus; the dark side of Zeus, as Set is the dark side of Osiris, and night the dark side of day; Python, Loki, Rahu, and falling demons in general. In one form he is the dragon slain by St. Michael or St. George. The original meaning is sublime, for Typhon in its prototypal significance is chaos, the unorganized womb or fountain of production, which calls forth the creative energy by resisting it, and is equally necessary with the former. When humanity falls into matter, then these dark-side potencies of nature acquire for mankind a distinctly evil connotation, and their names can be given to vast destructive forces which the misuse of the human will has engendered. In a more restricted sense as connected with our earth, Typhon was not only the causative agent, but likewise the symbol of all seismic and volcanic phenomena, as well as being, even according to ancient Greek philosophical thought, in intimate connection with meteorological phenomena as evidenced by winds and storms." See Typhon Baphomet.

The eighteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, it symbolizes faith, imagination, divine perception, the righteous one.  Faith is not futile beliefs; faith is related to the Superlative Consciousness of the Being!  Faith is the Light of the Ain Soph placed within the Vav (spinal medulla) of the son of Nun by means of Iod (the phallus)! Its Kabbalistic value is 90.

TZADIK means Righteous in Hebrew

TZALEM means Image in Hebrew, a Word written with the letters: Tzade, Lamed and Mem Sophit.

In Kabbalah Tzimtzum
(Hebrew for contraction or constriction) explains how the
Abstract-Absolute-Universal-Cosmic-Common-Father (Ain Soph)
contracts his Absolute Essence within the Abstract Space in order for a Universe to appear,
thus allowing Creation or the Eternal Becoming of any of the Seven Independent Kosmos.
