βThe letters ΧΧΧΧ YHVH of the Tetragrammaton are used to imply the whole gamut of the four elements. Χ Y as the creative function of the Archetypal Realm, is Fire the Chiah; the first Χ H represents the Cup, the symbol of the passive character of the Creative World, and is Water the Neschamah; Χ V is the Son, the active vice-regent of the Father, and is Air the Ruach; and the final H Χ is the Nephesch; the passive receptive Earth, fructifying all things.β
βThe Holy Spirit or the Shechinah, as we have already observed, is symbolized by the letter Χ© Shin. When, therefore, a man has invoked the Spiritual Self, his Holy Guardian Angel, and attained to His Knowledge and Conversation, the process is described as the descent of the letter Χ© Shin into the midst of the elemental name of ΧΧΧΧ Tetragrammaton, thus forming a new word ΧΧΧ©ΧΧ Yeheshua, the Pentagrammaton, the symbol of a new being, the Adept or Tsaddik in whom the birth of Spirit has equilibrized the base and unredeemed elements of matter.β

Israel Regardie on Aleph
βSome claim to find a satisfactory explanation of the origin of this letter in that it represents an ox-yoke, or the head of an Ox, the horns forming the top part of the letter.

βThe object of the theoretical (as separate from the practical) Qabalah, insofar as this thesis is concerned, is to enable the student to do three main things: First, to analyze every idea in terms of the Tree of Life.

Israel Regardie on Kabbalah
βThe word "Qabalah" is derived from a Hebrew root (QBL) meaning "to receive". The legend is that this philosophy is a knowledge of things first taught by the Demiurgos to a select company of spiritual intelligences of a lofty rank who, after the Fall, communicated its divine injunctions to Mankindβwho, in reality, were themselves in incarnation. It is also denominated the Chokmah Nistorah, "The Secret Wisdom", so-called because it has been orally transmitted from Adept to Pupil in the Secret Sanctuaries of Initiation.β
