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. Verse 26 of Chapter iv of _Genesis_,
when read correctly, would alone give them such a right, for it calls the
new Race of men—sprung from Seth and Enos—_Jehovah_, something quite
different from the translation adopted in the _Bible_, which ought to
read:
To him also, was born a son, Enos; then began men to call
themselves Jah, or Yah‐hovah,
