I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed the same thing but I've found the following quote a bit confusing from the online course of Kabbalah 3: Gnostic Kabbalah.
"Kabbalists say: Iod = Od, male, red, solar, fire (Sanskrit: Ida) Heva = Ob, female, blue, cold, water (Sanskrit: Pingala) Iod rises from the bottom (coccyx) up to the brain. Hevah is the cold fallen serpent, descending from the top downwards to the inferior forces of Hell." I thought that Od , male, red, solar, fire was Pingala and Ob, female was Ida which is the opposite to the above quote from the course. Could someone please set me straight on this? Thankyou. -------------------- "It is the Truth that frees, not your effort to be free."

Pingala is the right channel. Pingala is red, masculine, hot, represents the sun. Originating in Muladhara, Pingala ends up in the right nostril.
Ida is the left channel. Ida is white, feminine, cold, represents the moon. Originating in Muladhara, Ida ends up in the left nostril. Avaran |

True for males, Avaran. But on page 249 of The Perfect Matrimony, the Master states these positions are reversed for females.

Yes they do reverse in the female, thanks for adding that. The forces are still the same, of course. Pingala/masculine/sun, Ida/female/moon.
The effects and design of the Nadis are of course not in the least physical and therefore should be investigated and verified through meditation where we can learn about them internally. |

Thanks Avaran, what you've written is what I believed Pingala and Ida to be. It looks to be a mistake in the Kabbalah on-line course then. I wonder if any Admin people would bother reading this post and updating the course.
