Elohim is the plural of the Hebrew word Eloah, or Elijah, which is one of the names of God.Go to YHVH  Why using a plural since it is a single god? And also, why this odd plural form, quite rare in Hebrew language, and next to barbarism?

A Singular Plural

Certainly the author(s) of the Genesis had excellent reasons to use this so singular plural!Sorry! I forgot the rule : never repeat a bad joke Sometimes translated by the powerful or the strong being, the word Elohim literally means those come from the sky. The tradition brought them down from the sky in flying trolleys that once fascinated Erich von Daniken. Flying or not, the Elohim are several. In the Kabala and esoteric tradition, the seven Elohim are accompanied by their shaktiHindi word meaning the consort, the female energy complement, the equal balance of man, his female half without which we do not reach the ultimate Arcana of the Tarot. Go to Le Tarot de l'éveil or consort: their wife in good English.

We should say therefore the fourteen Elohim, but no, we say the seven. It seems than feminism is not an Elohim tradition. This is especially unfair as the Elohim women gave a feminine form to the plural of their name. Are we really sure of the relevance of this interpretation? We can not exclude the androginyGo to Le sexe des anges of the "former gods" who have made us.Voir Nos pères créateurs The myth of Pandora,Go to page the Greek equivalent of Eve, clearly shows -like the biblical Genesis- that woman appeared after man. Sexual reproduction came later.

But let us get back to the kabbalistic scenario. The Seven Mighty Elohim are the builders of the form. Five of them, the cosmic forces, govern the five elements. Indeed, to the four known elements, water, earth, fire and air, we have to add a fifth one, the quintessence or aether. These five Elohim live in the white lightThe third circle, or Gwenwed the white light circle to the ancient Celts where they command the five elementals:Go to page gnomes, salamanders, sprites, elves and mermaids.

The last two Elohim are Yahveh, our direct contact on the planet Earth, and another one that could be his alter ego, Lucifer, the light carrier. Thus, the rivalry between the two Elohim in charge of this planet, ie Yahveh and Lucifer, would be a Hebrew resumption of the rivalry between Osiris and his brother Seth, among the Egyptians, or between Enki and his brother Enlil, among the Babylonians, two peoples who would have imprisoned the Hebrews. The names may change, the story remains the same.

The legend of the Elohim is repeated literally in the Islamic tradition. According to Abu Ya'qubAbu Yusuf Ya'qub bin Al-bu ʾ min, second Almohad Caliph, died around 1184. the spiritual forms have revealed themselves through the seven supreme letters, which are the seven intelligencesAccording to Maimonides. Go to Angel or Devil? or the seven cherubims. It is written in the Quran and the Hadith that there are seven different heavens, where reside the prophets. They correspond to the seven chakrasGo to the seven chakras that describe seven levels of consciousness, seven steps that allow the ascensionMeraj in Islam of the individual to the seventh heaven.Arsh E-Mohalla, the seventh heaven, is the third circle of the Celts, Gwenwed, the Circle of White Light leading to God.

For the Hindus, the seven heavens are a representation of the chakras and the seventh heaven is called Sahasrara or thousand-petaled Lotus, which is the crown chakra, opening the fontanelle or the Arcane XVI the TowerGo to page in the initiation tarot.Go to page Thus, when Muhammad entered the seventh heaven and met God, he saw the glowing tree with its bright colorful leaves.Sidrat-Ul-Muntaha is its Arabic name. The parallel with the thousand-petaled Lotus clearly shows us that there are many paths, and only one Way.

For Mohammed, such a rise is possible only if we follow the middle pathClick + without skewing to the right or left. You will easily recognize here the description of the kundalini yoga, and the three channels of energy, Ida and Pingala Sushumna, the right, central and left ones. Before the rise of the KundaliniBuraq in Islam and awakening, the human being uses only the left and right channels, which carry an energy of less intensity. But when the awakening comes, it is not so:

"After the Self-Making, the central channel or Sushumna Nadi is open and allows the spiritual ascent. In the Hadith, the track is called Middle-Sirat al Mustakim. To enter the seventh heaven, the step is called the Pul-Sirat and is described in the Hadith as a bridge "sharper than a sword and thinner than a strand of hair." This bridge is called in yoga, Agnya Chakra (third eye) and forgiveness is the quality of this center, which allows the opening and provides access to the seventh center. "

A disturbing parallel that both the Sufis and the Shaivas have noticed. "The point of junction between Sufism and yoga can be found in the Advaita-Vedanta and the Kashmir's Shaivism. This junction between Yoga and Sufism has already been explored by Louis Massignon and especially Rene Guenon, a Vedanta who had become a Sufi when he died in Cairo." (source)Marc-Alain Descamps on his site These different beliefs seem to come from a common source. But the Islam, word of Allah, was revealed to Prophet Muhammad in the 6th century AD.

While Shaivism, one of the oldest known religions predates the Vedas, which dates from - 1500. More than two centuries separate the two revelations, which is somewhat strange, given the similarity of content. Many researchers pointed the links between the three religions of the Book, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, but a few of them even noticed the link between Shivaism and Sufism. And the third on the list would be Castaneda's Nagualism, sometimes showing a puzzling resemblance with Sufism and/or Shivaism.

Seven Elohim, seven heavens, seven chakras, all that means the same thing. It is also possible that the seven Rishis of the Hindu tradition are another way to put it. And the initiation Tarot? It includes twenty-two degrees, or rather twenty-one, because the Foolie the Excuse. Go to Awakening Tarot is not numbered in the game. It represents a beyond and should not be included in the list. So we have twenty-one major arcana, three times seven ... Now in initiation Tarot, there are three levels of seven steps each ...

The Tarot, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism and Nagualism speak of a single subject: ourselves, our way of enlightenment, how to open our seven chakras to reach the seventh heaven.Click +
