When we use the name Jesus in our work with the English Qaballa we are not referring to the historical person who may or may not have actually walked the earth, nor do we mean the central character of the Gospels. As we have pointed out, there is no letter J in Hebrew or Greek or Aramaic; the Hebrew name starts with a Yod and has an entirely different meaning to that of the name Jesus which is understood by English speaking people. In fact the first reference to Jesus in a hieratic text is in the Book of the Law, where JESUS=68=LIFE is the eternal ever-coming life of us all.

The son of God has always been there: he didn’t suddenly pop up, but chose to incarnate - maybe, or maybe not. If E.Q. is right the archetypal Lord Jesus Christ is like the historical character but purer, and linked to astrology.

There is the eternal Jesus who lives forever; and there is his earthly incarnation, who was by definition imperfect, subject to the flaws inherent in the human condition, and whose story has since been altered for socio-political reasons. For Jesus to prove he was the incarnation of the Son of God for all time, the eternal JESUS whose number 68 is also the value of LIFE and of CHANGE, his life and birth and death on Earth had to follow cosmological principles, as they did.

The course of Jesus’s life is the course of all life. He lived, worked, was judged, died and after a time ascended into Heaven: we all do this.

We live until we are judged, typically in the form of a terminal illness caused by the manner of our lives, this is Libra. It could be said that as the House of Karmic Adjustment LIBRA=58=ZODIAC contains all the preceding signs where the development of Karma occurs. In Scorpio we die, usually in pain, and after three days (Sagittarius) we enter Heaven in Capricorn.

“…and the name of thy house 418.” (AL II:78)

418 is the House of Life and the Path of Initiation.

The initiation ritual of the Judgement Hall of Osiris is a 418 ritual.

418 is his H. I. S. house which is the Zodiacal quadrant comprising the signs Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn (=418).

This is the 418 cycle, His House.

Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn are the signs occupied by the Sun during autumn and winter, when Nature appears to die. Regeneration begins when the Sun starts its passage through Capricorn, at the festival for the anniversary of the birth of Christ. Symbolically this is the same as the Deity taking his seat on his throne, Capricorn being the Tenth House, the House of the Father of the Zodiac.

The Crucifixion follows the same cycle, and the date of Easter is calculated according to the full moon which perforce falls in Libra-Scorpio. The mysterious three days in the Tomb are the Sagittarius phase.

JESUS = LIFE = CHANGE = 68 = LAW INFINITE

The life of Jesus is imprinted on human life. The general course of his life is how all life proceeds in nature.

We must get away from the idea that when God speaks it is just words. When God speaks the whole architecture of the universe changes in accordance with the nature of His utterance; and the same is true of His Son the Lord Jesus Christ.

When Christ was born on earth the whole nature of reality changed. The Zodiac was completed. The life of Jesus follows the signs of the Zodiac, and the signs of the Zodiac follow the life of Jesus, from his birth in Aries to his death and betrayal in Scorpio to his ascension after the mystery days of Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

This connection is a Christian mystery and I do not intend to elaborate upon it any more than anyone else in the past who has surprised the mysteries of creation and of the universe. There is sufficient information in these texts for the worthy to figure it out for themselves, it is not my job to spoon-feed idiots more information.
