INIVEA
Hey INIVEA. I thought this part is interesting: "Scholars have always seen a striking connection between the concept of the Shekinah and the idea of Logos "The Word" which Philo introduced into Jewish philosophical thinking."; and also the quote from John 1.
From what I've read of Waite up to this point, he equates the "Word" with the Son, or the Christ. In his description of the High Priestess, he says, "The scroll in her hands is inscribed with the word Tora, signifying the Greater Law, the Secret Law and the second sense of the Word." It appears therefore, the Son represents the outer sense of the Word and the High Priestess as Shekinah represents a Greater Law, that is, the hidden sense of the Law. At least that's what I'm taking away from it at this point.
What are your thoughts?
okay so for warning you, I am not well versed with Waite, so I'll just run some of my thoughts off the top of my head.
What is running around in my brain, is the cross is over her breast (chest) covers the heart. the Word, or logos, spoken in the beginning by god (creation of the earth etc.) to me is a language, but this language has been forgotten, man doesn't know the language, therefore can't speak it, hidden, now with that phrase :inscribed with the word Tora, is a clue, word then Tora = Gods hidden language; Which would be unknown /secret to humans. however there is this intuition, but is it intuition, maybe it is something else that speaks the gods hidden language. Christ and God, hmm maybe moses, or pharohs , summarian kings knew of this language, thinking Templars (Ark of the covenant), like mana being the atomic gold. sorry my thoughts are scattered, hope you can make some sense of it. it's like this language is some source of energy.
