And we see this all the time now in Silicon Valley with a lot of these guys, Peter Thiel, you know, trying to figure out a way to live forever.
And I think a lot of them are looking for ways, like a lot of these old alchemists did, in transferring your soul into something else.
And the idea of the golem being a version of that, or like an early version of that, makes a lot of sense, especially when you've got more modern occultists that are looking at the idea of this artificial being.
So it gets a little bit deeper in some of the ideas of the golem itself and the
how to create it.
So I was looking at this one rabbi.
He wrote the Encyclopedia of Jewish Myth, Magic, and Mysticism, Rabbi Geoffrey Dennis.
And he gets into the idea of the Sefer Yetzirah, and you have to purify yourself by donning white robes.
Well, who else dons white robes?
You can look to Hermeticism, the Golden Dawn always wore white robes.
It was the achievement of balance, higher will, purity within the soul.
Thelema,
Aleister Crowley talked about being an aura, an invisible, check this out, an egg of shining, an elastic light that protects the magician.
So what does that do?
That ties right into the egg imagery from Kenneth Grant, who we were just talking about, and the egg being an astral vehicle that can take you through worlds.
When you look to ancients like the Manichaeans, the Gnostic group, Templars, the Cistercians, which were an offshoot of the Templars, from Bernard of Clairvaux, who helped start the Templars, just more Gnosticism.
But what he gets into, Geoffrey does, you wear these white robes, you go in twos and threes, and you go to a riverbank, and you take from this virgin soil, and you create...
this golem and then what you do with this golem that you've created out of clay or out of sand very similar to what god created with adam right god created adam out of the earth and breathed life in him this is exactly what they're doing here except here what they do is they open up these 221 gates
of the Kabbalah to allow these, well, I would suggest entities to come into this thing, but they are suggesting that it's the combination of the secret names of God and opening these Kabbalistic gates to bring life into this.
Hey, guess what they do it in?
