Quantum Qabala?

[magickman12]

Does anyone hear practice Quantum Qabala? I found this book on Amazon today and then went to the website (quantumqabala.com) that was listed in the forum there. It seems pretty interesting, but I'd like to learn a little more about it before I buy the book because it wasn't discounted. I must admit, though, that the information on the Hermesgram was incredible! I never heard of this symbol before. If you practice it, can you tell me how old this symbol is? And the pictures that accompany the description of each sephira, are they for meditation? I am interested in finding out more about all this, so if you know anything, I'd appreciate the help.

Ok, I guess no one does this. I'm on my own, then.
So, I got the book (full price no less) and it came in today. It looks pretty good, lots of illustrations and the chapters sound pretty interesting. "Of Souls and Electrons", "the Soul Trismegistus", and "the Evolution of the Spirit", are a few that stand out.
I've been studying the Kabbalah and practicing the Qabalah for almost twenty years but this is different than anything that I've seen. It utilizes thirteen sephiroth, thirteen zodiac signs and something like 35 paths. Anyway, I will post again after I read it to give you my thoughts on it and maybe save you the 16 bucks in buying it.

I almost forgot about this thread.
I've read the book, Quantum Qabala, now, and I'm blown away. This is not a rehash of the same old thing, same old correspondances and such, this is a complete reimagining of the tree of life, one that is making more and more sense to me.
There are twelve sephiroth which include ALL the planets plus our world and Spirit. Plus there is Sedna, the newly discovered planet in our solar system, that holds a place much like Daath. There are thirteen astrological paths (including Hydra which opposes Pisces) in the vertical and horizontal directions and the diagonal paths are associated with the Tarot cards. The way these are put together makes so much sense. Like how the energies of the Aquarius path are emanated from the sephiroth of Saturn and Uranus, both rulers of that sign. With the Tarot paths, for instance, the energies of the path of Death emanate from Saturn and Pluto, both planets dealing with the meanings of that card. The sephira of Venus emanats the paths of the Empress, Strength, the Lovers, Libra and Cancer. The Moon emanates the paths of Cancer, the High Priestess, the Chariot, and (of course) the Moon.
This all makes sense to me, as I must confess I always questioned why, in traditional qabala, the energies emanating from the sephiroth never seemed to match the sephiroth. Like the 25th path is associated with Saggitarius and Temperance. If you know a few Saggies, you should know that Temperance is not always high on their list of traits. Furthermore, this path runs between Yesod and Tipareth, or the Moon and the Sun. What do they really have to do with either Saggitarius or Temperance either. I believe now that a sephiroth would emanate energies that are like its own such as Venus radiating Libra energies.
So, I am pretty happy with this so far, but I've yet to practice the rituals it gives. These seem to be based upon the standard LBRP and such but even they seem to make a bit more sense. I'll let you know how they go. Stay tuned.
Oh I also wanted to say that I liked how the paths opposed each other on the tree just like they do in the zodiac. Cancer and LIbra on the Pillar of Mercy for instance oppose Capricorn and Aries on the Pillar of Severity. Very, very impressive with its symmetry.

I've been to that site. It seems to have a lot of new ideas. I am ordering the book, as well, because I am always interested in something new to the qabalah.

Hi Star Son,
Yes, let me know what you think of it. I like it. It reminds me of Israel Regardie and/or Dion Fortune. Maybe more of Regardie,like Garden of Pomegranites. Though, when he gets to the rituals it reminds me of Modern Magick by DM Kraig (one of my all time favorites).
I was on Ebay and saw it on there for only $12, so if you haven't ordered yet, you might check that out.

The hermesgram is the authors treatment. It is not from antiquity. The yetzer sephirah lists only the visible planets, they didn't know about the others. Including those planets, in any discernment of the Qaballah, is a fairly recent occurance.

[magickman12]

Thank you, Ptah. I think that, at least it is a fairly modern thing. I also remember an old friend of mine wearing a pendant shaped like that Hermesgram. He said it had something to do with Crowley and he called it a unicursal (?) pendant. So, it must be modern, as in the last century.

Unicursal means it is drawn without lifting the pen. The standard Pentagram is unicursal.


This is a unicursal hexagram

(the hermesgram is a pseudo-unicursal hexagram
because of the extra lines added)

I would say this century.

I would say this century.

I would say the copyright date of the book in question.

I would say the copyright date of the book in question.

The book's pretty good. It's full of ancient twenty-first century magick, so the Hermesgram must be an ancient 21st century symbol. Just kidding. I do like the idea of the Hermesgram. I could see that as a pendant. Anyone know if there are any available?

Thanks for that link, looks interesting :cheers:

I was surprised to see my book mentioned here. Pleasantly surprised. Thank you! I see this thread is pretty old, but if you still have any questions or comments let me know.

Now that is some pretty powerful Stuff!!

I have heard of how quantum physics and the qaballa mesh with sacred geometry, but Quantum Qabala, would that be Sub_ qaballistic? meaning, dealing with the "subatomic" behind the scenes of the Qablalla???

sounds high tech!! :boing:

[Eric Orion]

In my book, I provide the correspondances between the sephiroth of the Tree of Knowledge and the atomic elements. I also describe how the sephiroth correspond to the 9 months of conception. So, you see, the Tree of Knowledge with its twelve sephiroth as described in my book corresponds to science in general. The main point, however, is that physicists have discvovered that reality, such as time and space, is not what we think it to be. Moreso, it seems that there are multiple realities running parallel to each other that are subjective to our observation.
If you'd like to read a chapter of Quantum Qabala, PM me and I will send it to you.
