Path # 6 Zay in


Let us breathe deeply in order to concentrate upon and thus comprehend the letter ז Zayin, which is the seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet: a letter that encloses a very deep wisdom.

The first word that comes into our mind related with the letter ז Zayin is the word זכריה Zechariah, who is a prophet that appears in the Kabbalistic books at the end of the Old Testament. The Hebrew name Zechariah starts with ז Zayin. It comes from זכור zehair, “to remember,” and יה Jah, the name of God at the end of the phrase הללו יה Hallelu Jah ("Praise Jah"). Jah is written with י Iod and ה Hei. So, let us remember יה Jah in this lecture. Let us remember the letter י Iod and the letter ה Hei.

The letter ז Zayin means sword. It is also associated with the tongue. The tongue is a sword -a two-edged sword. In the Book of Revelation we read the following about the Avatar that is riding the white horse, the Kalki Avatar:

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he (Geburah) shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth (in Yesod) the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of (El-Shaddai) Almighty God. – Revelation 19:15

That two-edged sword relates to the letter ז Zayin. The Angel Samael is related with the mystery of Zayin, as you can read in The Zohar.

So, let us now, study the book of Zechariah in order to Kabbalistically comprehend what is written in chapter four. It is written:

And the angel who spoke with me returned, and he awakened me as a man who wakes up from his sleep. And he said to me, 'what do you see?’.

The meaning is:

And the Angel (our individual angel or Innermost) who spoke with me returned, and he awakened me [psychologically and spiritually, as a Man in Yetzirah] who wakes up from his sleep. And he said to me, 'What do you see?’

Zechariah means “to remember Jah,” to remember God. Jah is a name of God, a mantra that vibrates in the pineal gland when we are Self-remembering. As Samael Aun Weor explained:

"The one who wants to awaken Consciousness must practice Self-remembering from moment to moment."

This exercise of being in Self-remembering from moment to moment is in fact an intensive work. - Samael Aun Weor
