<p>Thank you for the reference material, so in a way one could also say that the Androgynous being is a solid representation of infinity, which comes back to man-woman (combined in the androgynous form) in eden being created in the image of God or Iod-Hei-Vav-Hei which then must mean that God or Iod-Hei-Vav-Hei is likewise infinity?</p>
<p>Going by this would it likewise be acceptable to say that Iod-Hei-Vav-Hei (יהוה) is Himself also infinity?</p>

Symbols as deep as the Holy Eight, the infinity, contain many meanings, and there are many ways of approaching these meanings. Along the lines of what you are considering, we could notice that the Androgyny is Adam-Eve (who, together, are Iod-Havah). Adam and Eve are Pingala and Ida respectively, which intertwined make up the Caduceus of Mercury, which is the Holy Eight! :D

But there are many other relationships between God and the Infinite. See chapter 1 of Tarot and Kabbalah for some deeper insights (see link below).

With symbols, we often have to use intuition to guide us to their meanings, but we should avoid letting our mind get locked into a single interpretation or correspondence, and we should recognize the limitations of any meaning or concept we associate with a symbol (including a concept about infinity). Yes, God does have a deep relationship with infinity, but also remember that the fundamental essence of all things (including God) is the Absolute, each particle of which is infinite in its possibilities, but which Itself is beyond even the Infinite.

Okay so in the upper portion of the 1st Arcanum we have these eyes:

http://i27.lulzimg.com/8de3699a47.jpg

I decided to do some (very) basic research (mainly wikipedia) on this symbol to get a better idea of it.

They call this symbol the "Eye of Horus" but can also be called the "Eye of Ra", what is the connection here between Horus and Ra through this symbol? We know that Horus forms part of the Egyptian Trinity known as Osiris-Isis-Horus but what is the connection here between them through this symbol, could it be related to perception? Also reading up on this trinity Osiris-Isis-Horus, the story goes that Isis and Osiris through sexual union created Horus their child, looking at the tree of life diagram it doesnt seem to add up that Osiris would be the same as Kether but rather seems related to the sephirah Binah as Abba (masculine aspect) with Isis as Aima (feminine aspect).

Am I seeing this right/wrong or missing something here?

Also how do Osiris-Isis-Horus relate to Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva?

Thank you for your patience!
