13. ... The Adversary, because Matter opposeth Spirit, and Time accuseth even the saints of the Lord. 28. Stand in awe of him, and sin not: speak his name with trembling.... 29. For Satan is the magistrate of the Justice of God [Karma]; he beareth the balance and the sword. 31. For to him are committed _Weight and Measure and Number_. Compare the last sentence with what the Rabbi, who explains the Kabalah to the Prince in the Book of _Al Chazari_, says, and it will be found that Weight and Measure and Number are, in the _Sepher Jetzirah_, the attributes of the Sephiroth (the three Sephrim, or figures, ciphers), covering the whole collective number of 10; and that the Sephiroth are the collective Adam Kadmon, the “Heavenly Man” or the Logos. Thus Satan and the Anointed were identified in ancient thought. Therefore: 33. Satan is the minister of God, Lord of the seven mansions of Hades, the Angel of the manifest Worlds. The seven Lokas, or Saptaloka, of the Earth with the Hindûs; for Hades, or the Limbo of Illusion, of which Theology makes a region bordering on Hell, _is simply our Globe_, the Earth, and thus Satan is called the “Angel of the _manifest_ Worlds.” It is “Satan who is the God of our planet and _the only_ God,” and this without any metaphorical allusion to its wickedness and depravity.

And God hath put a girdle about his loins [the rings of Saturn], and the name of the girdle is Death. In Anthropogony this “girdle” is the human body with its two lower principles. These three die, while the innermost Man is immortal. And now we approach the _secret_ of Satan. 37. ... Upon Satan only _is the shame of generation_. 38. He hath lost his virginal estate [so hath the Kumâra, by incarnating]: _uncovering heavenly secrets_, he hath entered into bondage. 39. He encompasseth with bonds and limits all things.... 42. Twain are the armies of God: in heaven the hosts of Michael; in the abyss [the manifested world] the legions of Satan. 43. These are the Unmanifest and the Manifest; the free and the bound [in Matter]; the virginal and the fallen. 44. And both are the ministers of the Father, fulfilling the Word divine. Therefore: 55. Holy and venerable is the Sabbath of God: _blessed and sanctified is the name of the Angel of Hades_ [Satan]. For:
