    Dear Peter,

    >> Now if the various spheres that Bardon talks about in his PME relate
    to the first eight sepheroth, then would it be possible to use your
    Eight Temples Meditation project as a platform for getting in contact
    with the spirits that Bardon talks about in PME? <<

    Yes, it would be *possible*.

    >> Would learning as much from these teachers, and other spirits that
    exist throughout the eight temples, be a particularly good thing for the
    scholar that has not made it to step eight yet? And, consequently might
    have some difficulty discerning an independent entity from a relfection
    of one's own psyche? <<

    Yes, most definitely!

    >> Or perhaps one should just go on the assumption that the spirit in
    question is part of the scholars psyche untill proven otherwise? <<

    Again, yes, most definitely! :)

    >> Now, if the planets are associated with the sepheroth, what of the
    planetary associations of the double letters? From which seems to flow
    that the letters are in turn associated with the sepheroth. <<

    No. The 7 planets and the 7 Double Letters can be considered one and
    the same, but the planets and the Sephirot cannot. The 22 Letters and
    the 10 Sephirot are separate things and only together do they constitute
    the 32 Paths.

    This need to make the Double Letters equate directly to the Sephirot is
    a common failing of the Western intellect.

    >> Using the third key, some of the letters seem to match up: Venus(Peh)
    and Mars(Daleth) in particular. Though the others are up in the air for
    me. Or am I making the old "Socrates is a duck error" of Plato all over
    again? <<

    The three in question are Moon, Sun and Saturn. The Sun's color is a
    Yellow Gold; whereas, Tiphareth is presented as Gold. Saturn is
    presented as a deep Purple, as is Yesod. However, Saturn corresponds to
    Binah/Black, not Yesod/Purple. The Moon is given as white which infers
    a connection with Kether! ;-) However, Moon corresponds to Yesod and
    the color Purple. I'm not sure why Bardon chose the Moon's whiteness
    instead of its traditional color of purple or silver (perhaps because
    he's used silver for Mercury instead of its usual orange).

    >> And yes, I have been working too much in the Library of Hermes. It
    shows quite blatantly that I've been studying there for years upon years
    without knowing it. One of the teachers there even went so far as to say
    to me, in not so many words, "Get thee to Netzach!" :) Which I will
    probably be doing sometime later this week. <<

    Well then let me echo that advice, in exactly that many words. Get thee
    to Netzach! ;-)

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
