“At the summit is the engine, Omnia Movens, of which more later: this is the Creative Source. The engine communicates its creative energy to the two front or higher wheels: the Wheel of Intelligence and the Wheel of knowledge… So we have the image of a spiritual cosmos with front-wheel drive, where the engine, in front, transmits its wisher to the higher wheels, whereas in the materialistic version we have a degenerate cosmos in which motion is imparted by the engine to the two lower wheels: from the depths. the cosmic emanation releases the bass forces of matter… After the engine and the two wheels comes the clutch, the Sefirah of grace that establishes or interrupts the flow of love that bins the rest of the tree to the Supernatural Energy. A disk, a mandala that caresses other mandala. Then the coffer of change—the gear box, or transmission, as the positivists call it, which is the principle of Evil, because it allows human will to speed up or slow down the constant process of emanation. For this reason, anautomatic transmission costs more, for there it is the tree itself that decides, in accordance with its own Sovereign Equilibrium. The comes the universal joint, the axle, the drive shaft, the differential—note the opposition/repetition of the quaternion cylinders in the engine, because the differential (Minor Keter) transmits motion to the earthly wheels. Here the function of the Sefirah on difference is obvious, as, with a majestic sense of beauty it distributes the cosmic forces to the Wheel of Glory and the Wheel of Victory, which… [are]… imparted by the higher wheels.” (Umberto Eco, Foucault’s Pendulum, p. 378-379)Tuesday, October 6, 2009
