Chapter 73: The Number Four (4)

The number four is the tetrad. It corresponds with the planet Uranus, and it is clear that its constellation is Cancer, because it is the fourth constellation.

It is related to a dark red color, and its metal is platinum.

The musical note is Fa. The fluids correspond to the number four, as well as the hormones.

The number four is magnificence. It has seventy-two doors in order to administer justice, and it is administered through the thirty-five principles of mercy. We become magnificent in proportion to our procedures in accordance with each one of these principles.

Justice is administered in accordance with the thirty-five principles of mercy. Justice without mercy is tyranny.

Justice and mercy are perfectly equilibrated.

Seventy-two doors = 7 + 2 = 9 (Ninth Sphere)

One cannot be just, not really just, if one has not reached the Second Birth. When one has passed through the Ninth Sphere, one receives the flaming sword, then it can be said that one is just. Whosoever has not worked in the Ninth Sphere has no right to have the sword of justice.

Thirty-five principles of mercy: 3 + 5 = 8 (Justice).

The Arcanum 8 of the Tarot

In the Eighth Arcanum, the woman has the sword of justice and a scale in order to weigh the good and evil deeds.

We must triumph over sex; the great archons of the law have triumphed over sex. Justice and mercy are equilibrated within them.

In the number four we find the skill of any branch, order, authority.

The Arcanum 4 of the Tarot

The number four is the Emperor of Kabbalah. It signifies stability. It is the base in order to get what we want, for instance in order to form our home, business, travel, employment, etc. To get what is solid, perfect as the Cubic Stone, a solid concrete stone is what is required for us. We must not put a false base, because otherwise everything will collapse on us.

If one day we get the key note four, then we have to have a strong base in order to have success. We have to do things correctly, precisely, solidly, in order not to fail. That day we must do things by reflecting on them in a precise and solid way. Nothing should be done quickly because we will fail.

The economic aspect is within the number four, and we must develop this in a correct way, because this aspect has ascensions and descents in its economy. There must be solid bases each time that ascension is needed. All things must be reflected on in relation to the number four. Let us think that the number four is the base, and that this base must be solid. We have to establish this base for family relations.
