    Dear Rawn,

    As of late I have been looking over the work of Book 231, wondering
    if I, at this present moment, could set aside the time to go through
    this working. A question to which I have not found the answer.
    However, something else struck me about the similarity between the
    four cycles of Book 231 and the work of Franz Bardon in his three
    works.

    Book 231 describes the decent from the Atziluthic state of existence
    down through Briah, Yetzirah and finially into the state of Assiah.
    Paying special attention to the realms of Briah and Yetzirah. I
    understand the reason for not including Atziluth within this work as,
    as to my knowledge, there is no representation of the Tree of Life at
    this stage of creation. Yet I do not understand why Assaiah is not
    represented within this work as represented by the conception of the
    tree of life as preented by the Ari?

    Now, the work of Book 231 is split into two seperate works: that of
    creation, the decent of force into form, and that of initiation, the
    breaking of form so that it might acend into force once again. The
    work of IIH primarily seems to concern itself with the work of
    initiation and acention and integration of the paths and gates into
    the self to accuratly represent the macrocosm of the divine within
    the microcosm of the self. Which makes me wonder if performing this
    work is redundant given that one is working through the steps of IIH,
    or would it be much more of a specific integration of these concepts
    into the self.

    When one looks at the works of PME and KTQ the inverse is applicable.
    One is working on the decent of form into force once more as a
    creative act of divinity. In KTQ one learns how to express each
    Letter subsequently within all four realms; akashic/atziluthic, ,
    mental/briatic, astral/yetziric, and physical/assaiah. PME expresses
    both an acent and a decent; first an acent to a specific sphere and
    then the drawing it down into mental, astral and finially physical
    density.

    Bardon states within the chapter on the magical wand that the
    kabbalahistic practitioner will understand that it will typically
    take 462 individual charges for the magical wand to be effective upon
    the physical plane. In which case it was first only effective upon
    the akasha. With the first 231 accumulations the influence upon the
    mental plane increases before it starts to become effective upon the
    astral plane. With the next 231 accumulations it would seem to become
    more effective upon the astral plane before making the transfer to
    being effective upon the physical plane. While this seems all logical
    and all, I have a definet feeling that things are far from being so
    clear cut in reality as one realm bleeds over slightly into the next.

    So, I guess I'm asking is, "How will doing this work enrich my
    experience and abilities within Kabbalah and Evocation?"

    Love and Live well,
    Peter Reist
