Tarot - Arcanum No. 16

The Arcanum No. 16 is the "Fulminated Tower", this is the Tower of Babel. Many are the initiates who let themselves fall. Many are the Fulminated Towers. Every Initiate that spills the Glass of Hermes, inevitably falls. The legend of the Fallen Angels has been repeated and will be eternally repeated.

Actually, there are many Fallen Gods, living in the world. They are now disguised with bodies of human beings. It is necessary to Awaken the Consciousness so as not to fall into the abyss of perdition; nowadays, many Leaders of esoteric groups have their Consciousness profoundly asleep. "The blind leading the blind, all will fall into the abyss."

This is the Law. The human beings live completely asleep. It is necessary to awaken Consciousness so as not to walk blindly. The blind can fall into the Abyss. The Arcanum No. 16 is very dangerous. If we carefully analyze, The Arcanum No. 16 invites us to reflect.

Who are the ones who fall? They are those who spill the Glass of Hermes. This is why Krumm Heller stated: "One must carefully raise the cup aloft", he was referring to the Sacred Wine. If we kabbalistically add the numbers of the Arcanum No. 16, 1 + 6 = 7; we find the 7 Degrees of the Power of Fire, the "Seven Ladders of the Mind". If the Initiate falls, he is fulminated by the Arcanum 16 and rolls downward on those stepladders. In Occult Science, it is stated that the Initiate is left without INRI (Ignes, Natura, Renovatur, Integer), meaning the Initiate is a failure. This is then the Fulminated Tower.

The Initiate who allows himself to fall, loses the Crown and the Sword. The Pineal Gland, the Sahasrara Chakra, is the Crown; the Sword is the Flaming Sword which we must place at the feet of Osiris. The Four Secret Occult Pillars are granted unto the triumphant, the victorious one; these Pillars grant power to the Initiate over the Four Regions of the Cosmos:

1. LIFE.
2. SUBMERGED MINERAL REGION.
3. MOLECULAR REGION.
4. ELECTRONIC OR SPIRITUAL WORLD.

The Arcanum 16 is very dangerous!! It is necessary to Awake the Consciousness so as not to walk blindly. The blind ones can fall into the Abyss. The Initiate who spills the Glass of Hermes inevitably falls.

The struggle between Brain, Heart and Sex is terrible. If the Sex dominates the Brain, then the Star of Five Points, the Pentagram remains inverted and the human being, with his head aiming downwards and his two legs aiming upwards, is precipitated towards the bottom of the Abyss. He falls, fulminated by the Arcanum 16. He who allows himself to fall, then falls with the Arcanum No. 16 which is the Fulminated Tower. These are the ones who have failed with the Great Work of the Father.

• Hebrew Letter: „Hain”
• Transcendental Axiom: „Light of dawn, light of midday, light of nightfall, what is important is that it is light.”
• Timetable: Seventh Hour of Apollonius: „Fire comforts inanimate beings, and if any Priest, a sufficiently purified Man, steals the Fire and then projects it, if he mixes it with Sacred Oil and consecrates it, then he will attain the healing of all sicknesses by simply applying it to the afflicted area (here the Initiate sees that his material wealth is threatened and his business fail)."
• Forecasting Element: "It promises unexpected accidents, tempests, commotions, deaths. Benefits deriving from good and bad circumstances. Reciprocity in love and in hatred, in indifference and in zeal, in treason and in loyalty".

SYNTHESIS:

• When the Astral Light is coagulated in a flower, we fall in love with the flower. If the Astral Light is accumulated within a woman, then we fall in love with this woman.
• He who lives bewitched by many women does not stop being a weak little bird fulminated by the bewitching eyes of she, the tempter of the Astral Light.
• The Sorcerers of the Astral Light are Dangerous.
• "Wow unto the Samson of the Kabbalah if he permits himself to be put asleep by Delilah; the Heracles of science who exchanges his sceptre of power for the distaff of Omphale will soon feel the vengeance of Dejanira, and nothing will be left for him but the pyre of Mount Oeta in order to escape the devouring torments of the Coat of Nessus".
