onwards. As the author of the _Source of Measures_ says:
The two words of which _Jehovah_ is composed make up the original idea of male‐female, as the birth originator.(295)
For the Hebrew letter _Jod_ was the _membrum virile_ and _Hovah_ was Eve, the mother of all living, or the procreatrix, Earth and Nature. The author believes, therefore, that:
It is seen that the _perfect one_ [the perfect female circle or Yoni, 20612, numerically], as _originator of measures_, takes also the form of _birth_ origin, as _hermaphrodite one_; hence the phallic form and use.
Precisely; only “the phallic form and use” came long ages later; and the first and original meaning of Enos, the son of Seth, was the first Race born in the present usual way from man and woman—for Seth is no man, but a _race_. Before him humanity was hermaphrodite. While Seth is the first result (physiologically) after the “Fall,” he is also the first _man_; hence his son Enos is referred to as the “Son of _Man_.” Seth represents the _later_ Third Race.
To screen the real mystery name of Ain Suph—the Boundless and Endless No‐ Thing—the Kabalists have brought forward the compound attribute‐ appellation of one of the personal Creative Elohim, whose name was Yah or Jah—the letters _i_ or _j_ or _y_ being interchangeable—or Jah‐Hovah, _i.e._, _male_ and _female_;(296) Jah‐Eve a hermaphrodite, or the _first form of humanity_, the original Adam of Earth, not even Adam Kadmon, whose “Mind‐born Son” is the earthly Jah‐Hovah, mystically. And knowing this, the crafty Rabbin‐Kabalist has made of it a name so _secret_, that he could not divulge it later on without exposing the whole scheme; and thus he was obliged to make it _sacred_.
How close is the identity between Brahmâ‐Prajâpati and Jehovah‐Sephiroth, between Brahmâ‐Virâj and Jehovah‐Adam, the _Bible_ and the _Purânas_ compared alone can show. Analyzed, and read in the same light, they afford cogent evidence that they are two copies of the same original—made at two periods far distant from each other. Compare once more in relation to this subject _Genesis_ iv. 1 and 26 and _Manu_ i. 32 and they will both yield their meaning. In Manu, Brahmâ, who, like Jehovah or Adam in _Genesis_, is both man and God, and divides his body into male and female, stands, in his Esoteric meaning, for the symbolical personification of creative and _generative_ power, both divine and human. The _Zohar_ affords still more convincing proof of identity, while some Rabbins repeat word for word certain original Paurânic expressions; _e.g._, the “creation” of the world is generally considered in the Brâhmanical books to be the Lîlâ, the delight or sport, the amusement of the Supreme Creator.
Vishnu, being thus discrete and indiscrete substance, spirit, and time, sports like a playful boy, as you shall learn by listening to his frolics.(297)
Now compare this with what is said in the Book, _Nobeleth ’Hokhmah_:
The Qabbalists say, that the entering into existence of the worlds happened through delight, in that Ain Suph [? !] rejoiced in Itself, and flashed and beamed from Itself to Itself ... which are all called delight.(298)
Thus it is not a “curious idea of the Qabbalists,” as the author just quoted remarks, but a purely Paurânic, Âryan idea. Only, why make of Ain Suph a Creator?
The “Divine Hermaphrodite” is, then, Brahmâ‐Vâch‐Virâj; and that of the Semites, or rather of the Jews, is Jehovah‐Cain‐Abel. Only the “Heathen” were, and are, more sincere and frank than were the later Israëlites and Rabbis, who undeniably knew the real meaning of their exoteric deity. The Jews regard the name given to them—the Yah‐oudi—as an insult. Yet they have, or would have if they only wished it, as undeniable a right to call themselves the ancient Yah‐oudi, “Jah‐hovians,” as the Brâhmans have to call themselves Brâhmans _after their national deity_. For Jah‐hovah is the generic name of that Group or Hierarchy of Creative Planetary Angels, under whose Star their nation has evolved. He is one of the Planetary Elohim of the Regent Group of Saturn.
