<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nFirst of all, appreciated reader, we must say that this illustration appears in the book entitled Studium Universale, <\/strong><\/em>written by Valentine Weigel, who was a German philosopher, writer and mystic from Saxony and, according to some, a precursor of Theosophy. This occurred between the years 1533 and 1588. The full title of the first edition of the book, from 1618, is Studium Universale<\/strong><\/em>, das ist, alles dasjenige<\/em><\/strong>, so von Anfang des Welt biss an das Ende je gelebet, gescrieben, <\/em>gelesen, <\/em>order<\/em> gelernet werden m\u00f6chte<\/em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Translation: \u2018Studium Universale, that is, all that which, from the beginning of the world to the end, is ever wished to be lived, written, read, or learned\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before our eyes we clearly see a hand that is extended from the sky to pierce through the clouds and indicate for us a tree that bifurcates. This is the hand of the Theomegalogos<\/strong>. The tree on the left is an apple tree, the one on the right seems to be a fig tree. The apple tree has, allegorically, for centuries been a symbol of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil <\/strong>\u2013sexuality\u2500. It is associated with the angelic fall and, here in Gnosis, it represents sexuality taken to the point of fornication with the loss of our seminal liquor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Biblical tradition tells us that ADAM AND EVE, after their expulsion from paradise, discovered that they were naked and covered their sexuality with the leaves of a fig tree. It is curious that the fig tree is the Elemental who applies karma to fornicators<\/strong>, according to what the V.M. Samael tells us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Between both trees we see a countless number of stars around a great sun. Those stars are the Monads that are to come to Earth, and the sun represents the solar dynasties that watch over the development of creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below this sun, where the sun ends, we observe a half sphere <\/strong>representative of the earthly world or place of the human races. There, in the center of that half sphere, can be glimpsed the Star of David or Seal of Solomon<\/strong>, because it is in the human kingdom where we can achieve triumph in the Great Alchemical Work<\/strong>, always symbolized by the two intersecting triangles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then there are two large spheres and each one shares some roots. The sphere containing the roots of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil <\/strong>shows us these roots as clean and full of luminous radiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other sphere, containing the roots of the fig<\/strong> tree, are twisted and surrounded by immense darkness. Such is the fate of divine sterility, the absence of divine values, the lack of animic strengths, etc., etc., etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Very curious are the arms that are either picking apples, or taking leaves from the fig tree. In total there are six arms, all of which reminds us of Arcanum 6 <\/strong>of the Kabbalah: Indecision<\/strong>. Let us remember that we have the free will to choose the path of sanctity <\/strong>or that other of perdition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Between both spheres that contain the roots of the two mentioned trees, we can contemplate many eyes. Those eyes show the presence of God<\/strong>, who sees everything and feels everything, both abominable and ineffable things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I give you now some sentences so as to enter into reflection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “If chastity is not a virtue<\/strong><\/em>, it is, nevertheless, certainly a strength.”<\/em><\/strong> “A moment of clemency in no way diminishes the severity of the duty we have to fulfill.”<\/strong><\/em> “True clemency is spontaneous in itself<\/strong><\/em>, it falls like sweet rain on Mother Earth.”<\/strong><\/em> “Clemency is a part of justice.”<\/strong><\/em> FAC<\/strong><\/em>, QUOD FACIENDUM EST.<\/strong><\/em> KWEN KHAN KHU<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First of all, appreciated reader, we must say that this illustration appears in the book entitled Studium Universale, written by Valentine Weigel, who was a German philosopher, writer and mystic from Saxony and, according to some, a precursor of Theosophy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":30557,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[476,170,466],"tags":[486,537,622],"contenido":[271],"fuente":[],"pilar":[],"fase":[],"conferencia":[],"read_online":[],"author_tax":[322],"class_list":["post-30386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-universal-symbols","category-kabbalah-gnosis","category-messages-vm-kwen-khan-khu","tag-mensajes-del-v-m-kwen-khan-khu-en","tag-simbolismo-en","tag-kabala-en","contenido-articles-en","author_tax-v-m-kwen-khan-khu-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30386"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30386\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30388,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30386\/revisions\/30388"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30386"},{"taxonomy":"contenido","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contenido?post=30386"},{"taxonomy":"fuente","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fuente?post=30386"},{"taxonomy":"pilar","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pilar?post=30386"},{"taxonomy":"fase","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fase?post=30386"},{"taxonomy":"conferencia","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/conferencia?post=30386"},{"taxonomy":"read_online","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/read_online?post=30386"},{"taxonomy":"author_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vopus.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/author_tax?post=30386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
