82 never mentions wine as such, but only the “fruit of the vine.” As there are ancient frequently used Hebrew words for wine, grapes, etc., the habitual use of “fruit of the vine” (the word “vine” appears 63 times in KJV of Old and New Testaments) [appears] as a blessing. English WINE and VINE are related—the Hebrew words are not. Some references are intriguing even in raw form, as Psalm 80:8: “You have brought a vine out of Egypt and shall exile the infidel, and planted it “ The complimentary bruchah, or blessing, is over the “bread of the earth.” Some discussion was given to vines covering the earth, the drawing of nutrients from the soil, and the alchemical process of making gold from base elements of the earth. Such gold reduces to a white powder, or tincture, using a secret process not suitable for delineation here. The Hebrew word for VINE, hagufen, or Hey Gimel Peh Nun (final) = 788 in Hebrew qabala. 788 (heb.) = THE SECRET WISDOM, that is to say, the Qabala. Our attention is instant, or should be. VINE in NAEQ6 = 72 and that should get our attention, also. The number 788 yields, in Liber AL, AMEN. THIS IS OF THE 4 — THERE IS A FIFTH WHO IS INVISIBLE AND THEREIN AM I. Since English and Hebrew words for VINE are, like Amen, four letter words, it is interest- ing that, by Theosophical Addition, 788 = 7+8+8=23/2+3=5 the “FIFTH WHO IS INVISIBLE.” 788 also produces LOVE/WILL KEY: DO WHAT THOU WILT SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW. LOVE IS THE LA W, LOVE UNDER WILL. 788 = ALL RARE SCENTS ARE OF JASMINE AND ROSE; SILVER, GOLD AND LAPIS LAZULI & JASPER ARE THERE, which hits upon our gold theme. Gold, be it noted, is in some sense the “goal of the Great Work” and is a source of both health and wealth. The bruchah or blessings are the closest thing in Judaism to a formal Sacrament comparable to communion. Only it is a communion with a “vine” not a god. Say you so? Jesus, quoted in John 15:1: “1 am the true vine and my Father is the husbandman.” The powdered white gold produced by modern, but alchemica4 processes brought to mind the WHITE TINCTURE. In NAEQ6 WHITE TINCTURE = 231 = SEV- ENTY TWO FOLD LION and, also HERMETICALLY SEALED. VINE = 72 = I.N.R.I. and all kinds of neat stuff: (Alchemically, WARM ARROW.) 788 = THE SECRET CHIEFS WORK THE KAHN THROUGH SERAPIS BEY, TUITIT BEY. Requires some explanation. Hey Gimel Peh Nun are lines 15, 13, 27 and 24 respectively in 777. Gimel’s magical power is, get this, the WHITE TINCTURE, equal to KHAN in the Taoist system by 777 correspondences. Serapis Bey and Tuitit Bey are two of Madame Blavatsky’s “Mahatmas,” the Secret Chiefs of the Theosophical System. Actually, these two are modeled on Paolos Metamon, the Coptic magician and adept, and Max Theon, his disciple and successor as Grand Master of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Light in Egypt. You could read the line as “The Secret Chiefs work the white tincture through the HB of L. The HB of L, un- der Frontal Chief Davidson, moved to North Georgia in the 1880s. Its knowledge and wisdom migrated into the OTO under Grand Master Karl Kellner, an HB of L continental adept. Examine lines 15, 13, 27, 24 in 777 for further insight. Love is the Law, love under will. Allen H. Greenfield
