The Temple of Malkuth.

Find yourself standing in deep forest, with rich green leaves wet with water and rich brown earth beneath your feet. You are walking along a thin but clearly marked trail in the forest. You find the forest clearing and emerge onto a large flat green plain, in the middle of which is a single solitary building, large and imposing. The sky is rich blue, with dense pools of white clouds floating amidst the blue. This green plain stretches into the distance and you can just about perceive the purple edges of a mountain range in the distance. You can hear birds in the forest that now stands behind you and the distant sound of running water somewhere off to your left and the grass is fresh and wet. The air is clear and crisp.

You focus on the temple building in front of you and find yourself much nearer that you first thought. The temple is huge and seemingly round, the walls curving off at each side. Directly in front of you there are four steps that lead up to a platform of some sort at the far side of which appears a large arched doorway.

Visualise that your are walking towards a Temple which bears in large letters the name of Malkuth, underneath which is the name Kingdom.

Stop just before the steps to the building and vibrate slowly the godname of Malkuth: "Adonai ha- Aretz" ('Lord of the Earth'). Feel the presence of this divine energy.

Now go up the four steps, one at a time and stand at the top of the steps, on the platform and facing the large arched doorway. The walls of the temple appear to be made of smooth brown stone and the door is made of thick dark brown wood with a large circular metal handle in the middle.

Now vibrate the name of the archangel of Malkuth "Sandalphon".

Sense the enormous energy of the archangel vibrating through the entire space of the Temple, echoing into the plain and rippling through the forest that now lies far behind you.

Take four steps forward and find yourself in front of the door of the Temple. Above the door is written 'Know Thyself' – spend a moment considering this.

Finally, approach the doorway and touch the cold metal of the large ring that rests in the middle of the door. Gently push the door open - it swings easily on its hinges and reveals the temple inside. Pause on the threshold for a moment before entering the temple. You can see the a glimmer of light and a black and white chequered tile floor.

Vibrate three times the name of the angel choir of Malkuth "Ashim" ('Souls of Fire'). See the Temple being filled with fiery energy creatures.

Now enter the Temple.

The floor is made of black and white tiles and laid out almost like a chess board. Each tile is large enough for you to stand in a single colour with ease. You look around and know that the temple has ten walls, and you see pillars all around just inside the walls. The temple is warm and the Ashim fill the space with lively energy, flitting about, gathering in groups. Everynow and then an Ashim or two approach you and brush by you and you feel the heat of the fire without any sense of being burnt or any danger – the fire is rich orange, tinged with yellow and brushing by you like a warm fresh breath. As you look around you see that in the centre of the temple is a large double cube altar. Just beyond the altar sits a young woman on a throne. She is wearing a crown. She acknowledges your presence and bids you welcome. The temple is filled with the Ashim and Sandalphon's presence is everywhere.

Notice that there are three doors in the far wall of the temple.

To your left there is a door, above which is written in Roman numerals the number twenty, XX. A Hebrew letter is above the numbers, the letter Shin, which looks a little like a three-pronged crown. Above the letter is the motto, 'the Pathway to Hod, the Pillar of Severity'. In black the word 'Boaz' arches over the doorway.

In front of you there is a door, above which is written in Roman numerals the number twenty one, XXI. A Hebrew letter is above the numbers, the letter Tau, which looks a little like a doorway. Above the letter is the motto, 'the Pathway to Yesod, the Middle Pillar'.

To your right there is a door, above which is written in Roman numerals the number eighteen, XVIII. A Hebrew letter is above the numbers, the letter Qoph, which looks a little like the letter P. Above the door is the motto, 'the Pathway to Netzach, the Pillar of Mercy'. In white the word 'Joachim' arches over the doorway.

Now take a moment to experience all that exists in this place and ask for the blessing of Sandalphon and the Ashim. Feel the warmth of the Ashim and receive the blessings and healing of the powers of this Sephiroth. Allow the Ashim and Sandalphon to guide you.

....

It is now time to come back. Bid farewell to the young woman, crowned and throned. Acknowledge the Ashim and Sandalphon and then leave the temple, closing the door behind you and making your way down the steps...

Back to the Now.
