Armanism and Kabbalah: The Tree of Life is a continuation of the work of der Meister Guido von List.

InIn The Primal Language of the Aryo-Germanic People and their Mystery Language Guido von List writes regarding his last book which was to be called Armanism and Kabbalah..

“I have honestly tried to write as simply, clearly and plainly as I could and have kept secret, as is appropriate, all of the still hard to understand – –with the current way of thinking- explanations, which I will fully and organic-systematically structured reveal in my next book: G.L.B. No. 7: Ar manism and Kabbalah, and thus close off my system of theories to which I plan then- if my earthly life in the present body will allow it- to give the outside form. With this last book I will then remove the last veil surrounding the secret teaching and make it accessible to all who long for it.”

The Armanen Tree of Life has come into being as a result of this longing, or shall I say seeking. It is presented here in its most basic form so as to provide a firm foundation upon which further development can take place.

InIn The Primal Language of the Aryo-Germanic People and their Mystery Language the correspondences between the Armanen Runes and the Kabbalistic Sephiroth are provided, and in The Religion of the Aryo-Germanic Folk: Esoteric and Exotericric the astrological correspondences of the 22 Paths can be found.

One quote of Guido von List from The Sigil of the Macrocosm forms the basis upon which the whole of this text is based and confirms, without a doubt, that this approach is the appropriate one. He writes..

“..ten is the number of the divine perfection according to the rules of Armanism, as well as the rules of Kabbalah..” Armanism and Kabbalah

In Hoch-Zeit der Menschheit Rudolf John Gorsleben tells us interesting tales regarding the nature and history of the Kabbalah. He writes..

"The Kabbalah is not Hebrew property...The Kabbalah is the Germanic wisdom that has been saved in the synagogue from the prosecution of the Church."

“As is well known or actually as is not so well known, in the early middle ages the ancient knowledge was saved by the initiates in the synagogues, and a later initiate, an armane, Reuchlin, saved 1510 in mutual agreement with the emperor Maximilian I, who not for nothing was called "the last knight", the writings of the Kabbalah from being burned, because he knew that in the Kabbalah the Kala of the Armanen was contained and kept. The Rabbis have never solved completely the secret language of these traditions."

Ultimately, the Kabbalistic Sephiroth have their origin in the number of Pythagoras as Kieren Barry writes in The Greek Qabala..

“In all its various forms, the number mysticism of Pythagoras and his followers continues to re cur throughout the history of the evolution of the Qabalah, and must be acknowledged as its ultimate origin.”

I have taken a certain approach to this project which may best be appreciated with the following few quotes in mind..

Master Michael Kelly writes in his Words of Power ..

“The simple truth of the matter is that the mystical Hebrew roots of Qabalism bear no r elation at all to the tool it has become in the hands of Western magicians. The purpose, the practice, the philosophy are all so absolutely different that there really is no kinship between the two. Traditional Qabalistic mystics doubtless feel affronted by what magicians have done to their model, and magicians would feel baffled and straitjacketed by the traditionalists' notions.”

Rudolf John Gorsleben writes in Hoch-Zeit der Menschheit ..

"The Runes are symbols of the pulsating life, they are life itself, reduced to a mathematical formula. They are in some mystical relation to the law of the numbers as the basis of all cosmic and philosophical thinking."

“The key to the Kabbalah is the Runes, the ten Sephiroth, the ten numbers of the Kabbalah.”

"Each Rune is the expression of a cosmic law (cosmos = order), of an Ur-idea, of one of the ten Ur-forms, of the Ur-mothers, of the Sephiroth..”

Thomas Karlsson writes in his Qabalah, Qliphoth, and Goetic Magic.. "For a practitioner of Qabalah its historical roots are of a subordinate significance. Most important is not whether it is Jewish, Christian, Greek, Hermetic, or Nordic, but rather that it is a universal system that has revealed itself to be immensely applicable to most spiritual traditions"

“No Qabalist would claim that the universe is constructed exactly like the Tree of Life: the Tree of Life is simply a map and illustrates the most fundamental structure of existence, and like all maps it is based on simplifications. But it is a most brilliant map that has been used by a great number of mystics and magicians to gain knowledge about the mysteries of the universe. The Tree of Life is based on a universal numerical mysticism and can be applied to all myths from all t imes.” The Kabbalistic Tree of Life

All we really need to know, for the purpose of this text, about The Kabbalistic Tree of Life is that it consists of 10 “numerical emanations” collectively known as Sephiroth that are connected by 22 Paths corresponding to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

I have chosen to quote Elements of the Qabalah by Eliphas Levi as I find his words correspond best with those forthcoming of Guido von List..

"The thirty-two roads are thirty-two absolute and real ideas attached to the signs of the ten arithmetical numbers and to the twenty-two letters of the Hebraic alphabet. Here are the ideas:”

NUMBERS

1. Supreme power 2. Absolute wisdom 3. Infinite intelligence 4. Goodness 5. Justice or harshness 6. Beauty IX. The cultivation of qualities, and X. The perfection of the plan of the cause (I.) or the superior idea.

And this rule of emergence of development, which lies at the foundation of everything that happens— the primordial law of nature!—also holds sway over the emergence and development of our language. It expresses itself with the force of law in the ten phonetic symbols of the consonants, and almost exactly in the order they are ascribed in the Futharkh as we presented it above. Only a small rearrangement is necessary, whereby the Thorn rune appears not in the second place, but rather the fourth, the Rit rune is moved to the second place and the Ka rune to the third. All of the other runes, however, remain in their old places .” The Armanen Tree of Life: AEIOU

Guido von List writes in The Primal Language of the Aryo-Germanic People and their Mystery Language..

“If the vowels A, E, I, O have, as phonetic symbols, expressed the nine evolution stages of the law of evolution (progression law), as:

A 1. The cause of power 2. Will for power expression 3. Can (art) as the result of power expression 4. Realization of the purpose in the deed, thus as the high phonetic might sign of the power of God in the Trinity, which encloses the quadrinity and the seven-fold;

E 5. law, according to which the power works in the ration between power and deed, as might or magic, 6. order, in which the power turned to a deed has a lawful effect, thus as the phonetic high sign impact sign of the power of God in the Trinity, as the sign of magic; I 7. Order of the spiritual inside as physical order, phonetic evaluation sign of the power of God in the unity of the Trinity, sign of the spiritual ego of the deity;

O 8. Order of the physically visible outside as the physical order, 9. Building of features (character), as the phonetic high order sign of the of the power of God in the physical (material) world, so that the following fifth vowel

U Brings on the last stage of the evolution law, 10. The completion of the plan of the cause (1) or the preconceived (divine) idea and closes the circle.

According to the Arman secret teaching (progression law) that, what is up (1, crown), is similar to that, what is down (10, kingdom), which means one = ten, then with the number ten the next higher level is achieved that begins with the number eleven.

This is why the vowel U is recognized as the phonetic High completion sign (completion and unification sigil) of the power of God in the unification of the mental (spiritual) with the physical (material), as the phonetic symbol of the great law of unification (assimilation) in the universe!” Arising, Being, and Passing Away to a New Arising

Guido von List writes in The Religion of the Aryo-Germanic Folk: Esoteric and ..

“As is virtually self-evident from this brief summary of the first ten words for numerals, these did not originate from dry numerical values, but rather have their origin in the developmental representation of the great evolutionary process, and signify the evolutionary stages of this process with very precise concepts, which only later become numerical values.”

What der Meister is getting at is that there are ten “evolutionary stages” in the “great evolutionary process” of arising, being, and passing away to a new arising as Rudolf John Gorsleben elaborates further upon in Hoch-Zeit der Menshheit when he writes..

"In the cycle of events from becoming, therefore the One (1), of God, of the One, of the Ace, of the Aesir, over the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, i.e., over the whole of being all the way to the 10, the passing away to a new becoming.."

And, to wit further, let us turn to The Sigil of the Macrocosm..

Regarding which Guido von List writes in The Sigil of the Macrocosm..

“When we look at the sigil we first notice the three concentric circles, and these are the sign of Woutan! ...Woutan-Arahari as the sacrosanct three: Genesis, Being and Decay towards anew uprising.”

With just the above and the table below in mind one can determine to which of the sacrosanct three each of the ten stages of the great evolutionary process of arising, being, and passing away to a new arising refer. Arising happens with 1-2-3, Being happens with 4-5-6, Passing away to a New Arising happens with 7-8-9-10.
