Islamic Divine Names / Tarot Majors
When one places the 99 Divine Names into the letter groupings of the Arabic Alphabet of the Exoteric Ordering, an interesting result occurs. In that there are six letters that are not used as to the Divine Names... These being
T (Ta, 400)
Th (Tha, 500)
Z (Za, 7)
D (Dal, 4)
T· (T·ad, 9)
Y (Ya, 10.) This leaves twenty-two letters of the Arabic Alphabet that are utilized for the Divine Names. This can be construed as being an indication of correspondence to the twenty-two Trumps of The Tarot. If the Exoteric Ordering of the Arabic Alphabet is used as a template of sequential ordering as to a correspondence to the Exoteric Tarot (Marseilles) ordering and imagery, then a more richer and Islamic understanding of the Tarot emerges with regard to the twenty-eight degrees of The Ladder. To wit:
A - I Magician - First Intellect, The Pen, Fire Element, 1.
B - II Priestess - Jinn, Air Element, 2.
J - III Empress - Heaven around Zodiac, Fire Element, 3.
H· - IV Emperor - Universal Substance, Earth Element, 8.
Kh - V Hierophant - The Face of God, Air Element, 600.
Dh - VI Lovers - Animal, Earth Element, 700.
R - VII Chariot - 5th Heaven, Joseph, Venus, Water Element, 200.
S - VIII Justice - Water, Oceans, Earth Element, 60.
Sh - IX Hermit - Sun of Paradise, Fixed Stars, 300.
S· - X Wheel of Fortune - Earth, Fire Element, 90.
D· - XI Strength - 2nd Heaven, Moses, Jupiter, Earth Element, 800,
Tz - XII Hanged Man - Metals, Minerals, Air Element, 900.
O - XIII Death - Universal Nature, Water Element, 70.
Gh - XIV Temperance - Universal Body, Fire Element, 1,000.

Q - XVI Tower - Throne of God, Water Element, 100.
K - XVII Star - Pedestal of the Throne, Earth Element, 20.
L - XVIII Moon - 3rd Heaven, Aaron, Mars, Fire Element, 30.
M - XIX Sun - Man, Water Element, 40.
N - XX Judgment - 4th Heaven, Enoch, Hermes, Sun, Air Element, 50.

The God Formula
1. The world is the struggle of two opposing forces: Light and Darkness.
2. The source of Light, better known as God, is the wellspring of all joy, fulfullment, and life. The force of Darkness, better known as Ego Nature, is the source of all pain, suffering, and death.
3. We create our lives by whichever Force we connect to.
4. We connect to the two Forces by the The Law of Similarity of Form: we connect to and become what we become like.
5. We become like God by systematically destroying the Ego, because the Desire To Receive For The Self Alone is the opposite of God. God does not receive from anyone.
6. We become like God by transforming into Beings of Sharing, because God is a source of Infinite Sharing.
* Through a dual process of eradicating the Ego and performing Transformative Sharing, we awaken our True Nature and become like God, creating a life of total joy and fulfillment.

Last Supper Figure Groupings
The figures grouped together in The Last Supper do not follow the groupings traditionally called forth in the Bible. The biblical groupings are four figures within three groupings, and relate more to the aspect of astrological Qualities of the Disciples as to the zodiacal attributions of Fixed, Mutable, and Cardinal signs. The Last Supper groupings are three figures in four groupings, however the individuals traditionally attributed within these groups do not correspond to orderings of the Elemental or Qualities of zodiacal aspects.
Biblical Groupings:
Group 1: Peter (Aquarius,) Andrew (Leo,) James-Z (Taurus,) John (Scorpio) ~ Fixed Signs.
Group 2: Philip (Sagittarius,) Bartholomew (Virgo,) Thomas (Gemini,) Matthew (Pisces.) ~ Mutable Signs.
Group 3: James-A (Aries,) Thaddæus (Cancer,) Simon (Libra,) Judas (Capricorn) ~ Cardinal Signs.
Last Supper Groupings:
Group 1: Bartholomew, James-A, Andrew / Virgo, Aries, Leo / Mutable, Cardinal, Fixed ~ Earth, Fire, Fire.
Group 2: Judas, Peter, John / Capricorn, Aquarius, Scorpio / Cardinal, Fixed, Fixed ~ Earth, Air, Water.
Group 3: Thomas, James-Z, Philip / Gemini, Taurus, Sagittarius / Mutable, Fixed, Mutable ~ Air, Earth, Fire.
Group 4: Matthew, Thaddæus, Simon / Pisces, Cancer, Libra / Mutable, Cardinal, Cardinal ~ Water, Water, Air.
If the Tetragrammaton (IHVH) is further incorporated into the Last Supper Groupings, an interesting aspect arises taken in conjunction with the patron who commissioned da Vinci for the painting.... Duke Lodovico Sforza.
Group 1: Bartholomew, James-A, Andrew / Virgo, Aries, Leo / Mutable, Cardinal, Fixed / Earth, Fire, Fire / Heh(5), Yod(10,) Yod(10) ~5+10+10=25.
Group 2: Judas, Peter, John / Capricorn, Aquarius, Scorpio / Cardinal, Fixed, Fixed / Earth, Air, Water / Heh(5,) Vau(6,) Heh(5) ~ 5+6+5=16.
Group 3: Thomas, James-Z, Philip / Gemini, Taurus, Sagittarius / Mutable, Fixed, Mutable / Air, Earth, Fire / Vau(6,) Heh(5,) Yod(10) ~ 6+5+10=21.
Group 4: Matthew, Thadaeus, Simon / Pisces, Cancer, Libra / Mutable, Cardinal, Cardinal / Water, Water, Air / Heh(5,) Heh(5,) Vau(6) ~ 5+5+6=16.
25+16+21+16=78 ~ 78 cards of the Tarot.
Group 1: 25 = 2+5=7 ~ Trumps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
Group 2: 16 = 1+6=7 ~ Trumps 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
Group 3: 21 = 2+1=3 ~ Biblical number of Man ~ The Fool.
Group 4: 16 = 1+6=7 ~ Trumps 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21.

Right Side:
Philadelphia - Our Father, Who Art In Heaven
Laodicea - Hallowed Be Thine Name
Sardis - Thy Kingdom Come
Thyatira - Thy Will Be Done

Thyatira - For Thine Is The Kingdom
Sardis - The Power
Laodicea - And The Glory
Philadelphia - For Ever, Amen
Sixty-Five (65) Words = The Macrocosm (6) Contained Within The Microcosm (5) Formulating the Ideal of the Integrated Synthesis of Harmony contained within the Theurgic Principle (6) under the control of the Thaumaturgic Operation (5.) ~ 6+5+=11.
Fourteen (14) Lines = Fourteen (14) Stations of The Cross. The Ideal of the Redemptive within the Salvationary Grace... "The Word Made Flesh" IHVH (4) becomes IHShVH (5.) ~ 1+4=5 .
Seven (7) Pairings = The Seven (7) Spirits which stand before the Thorne of the Eternal, as represented by the Menorah ~ Spirit of Life; Spirit of Sanctity; Spirit of Wisdom; Spirit of Eternal Unfolding; Spirit of Trust; Spirit of Strength; Spirit of Omnipotent Love.

Revelation of John via Soma Sophia - Ares
The energizing process of the Western System is in the form of the Holy Ghost, and is symbolized as a White Dove descending from above. While the energizing process of the Eastern System is in the form of the Kundalini, and is symbolized in the form of a Coiled Serpent ascending from below. These symbols and movements of flow show the dichotomy between the two Systems.
The dyadic qualities of the Churches is numerated to Fourteen (14.) The number Fourteen (14) when referenced to the dualistic nature of the Material Plane (2) reflects that of the Churches (7.) 14÷2=7. The number Fourteen can also be reduced to Five (5) which is the number of Thaumaturgy. 1+4=5. Thus showing the Spiritual Principle (7,) the Operational Platform (5,) the Motivational Procedure (14,) and the Containing Premise (2.)
In this regard, the Holy Ghost descend from above, and enters the Church of Philadelphia, then down the right side of the Aspirant, entering the Church of Laodicea, then down the right side of the Aspirant, entering the Church of Sardis, then down the right side of the Aspirant, entering the Church of Thyatira, then down the right side of the Aspirant, entering the Church of Pergamos, then down the right side of the Aspirant, entering the Church of Smyrna, then down the right side of the Aspirant, entering the Church of Ephesus, then through the Church of Ephesus from the right side of the Aspirant, to the left side of the Aspirant, then up the left side of the Aspirant, entering the Church of Smyrna, then up the left side of the Aspirant, entering the Church of Pergamos, then up the left side of the Aspirant, entering the Church of Thyatira, then up the left side of the Aspirant, entering the Church of Sardis, then up the left side of the Aspirant, entering the Church of Laodicea, then up the left side of the Aspirant, returning to the Church of Philadelphia.
Such a movement of flow is predicated on the Lord's Prayer, when broken down into its Fourteen (14) components. Comprising Two (2) sets of components, one set of Seven (7) components for the right side, and one set of Seven (7) components for the left side, done within the context of the thaumaturgic platform (5.)

Revelation of John via Soma Sophia - Atremis
The first six Churches (Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Laodicea) have multiple qualities contained within each:
- 2 Zodiac Signs (2)
- 2 Planetary Rulers (2)
- 2 Polarities each Sign (4)
- 3 Decantes for each Sign (6)
These qualities, when numerated, total the sum of fourteen (14.) for each of the Six Churches in relation to their dyadic nature. 2+2+4+6=14 The seventh Church (Philadelphia) has no dyadic nature or qualities about it, as it is beyond the aspect of duality, and exemplifies the principle of Unity.
The numeration of the qualities of the six dyadic Churches total the sum of Eighty-Four (84.) 14+14+14+14+14+14=84. The number Eighty-Four (84) can be reduced down to the sum of Twelve (12) the number of the Zodiac. 8+4=12. Twelve (12) can then be further reduced down to the sum of Three (3) the Biblical number of Man. 1+2=3.
When this sum of Eighty-Four (84) is numerated with the addition of the Unified Church (1) and that of the Individual (1,) it totals the sum of Eighty-Six (86.) 84+1+1=86. The number Eighty-Six (86) when taken in concert and merged with the Elemental ideals of the Tetragrammaton (4) results in the digits Eight-Six-Four (864.) These digits of Eight-Six-Four (864) when taken in concert with the ideals of numeration of Man as to that of the Tetragrammaton (one day of the Lord is as a thousand days unto Man) results in the digits Eight-Six-Four (864) transforming into Eighty-Sixty Thousand and Four Hundred (86,400) which is related to the number of beats of the Human Heart over the course of a twenty-four hour period. Which is the actuality of the numeration of a Man.
The Church within, revolves to the Circle without, to resound in the Rhythm of Man, and the Harmony of the Cosmos, to the Harmonious Synthesis of the Cosmos in Man.
