Astral Lightcosmology
The universal fluid or medium of occult philosophy — Lévi's Great Magical Agent — that transmits will, thought, and magical influence between minds and matter, and preserves the impress of all forms and actions as a book of consciences; cognate with akasha and the anima mundi. Distinct from cosmic_sympathy (a doctrine of hidden affinity) in being a substantival medium that can be charged, directed, and abused.
The phrase 'The universal creative fluid' is a direct synonym for the Astral Light in Papus's occult system.
All passages →Correspondencecosmology
The Hermetic axiom that the structure of the cosmos is reflected at every scale — 'as above, so below; as within, so without' — making each level a legible map of the others.
The entire passage is structured around Hermetic correspondences linking Kabbalah, Astronomy, Hebrew letters, and metaphysical principles ('Affinities Significations').
All passages →Cosmic Sympathycosmology
The Stoic and Plotinian doctrine that all parts of the cosmos are bound by hidden affinities, so that a movement in one part resonates through the whole; the metaphysical basis for astrology, magic, and divination.
The listing of 'Affinities' between disparate domains (Kabbalah, Astronomy, Hieroglyphic) relies on the doctrine of cosmic sympathy.
All passages →Divine Immanencetheology
The doctrine that the divine is present within all things and the universe itself, pervading creation rather than remaining solely transcendent above it. Distinct from unity_of_being (the general claim that all existence is one substance, agnostic about whether that substance indwells its parts) and from kingdom_within (the divine present specifically IN THE INDIVIDUAL human, accessible without mediation) — divine_immanence is the general pervading-presence claim applied to all of creation, not a human-specific indwelling.
The concept of 'THE SOUL OF THE UNIVERSE' and 'universal creative fluid' implies the divine presence pervading creation.
All passages →Emanation Hierarchycosmology
A chain of divine beings or principles flowing downward from a single transcendent source (the One or the Father), each level less perfect than the one above.
The passage outlines a descending chain of reflexes from 'God the Father' to 'Adam' and 'Natura naturans', indicating a structured flow of divine principles.
All passages →Letters Of Creationcosmology
The twenty-two Hebrew letters as the building blocks through which God creates and sustains all existence.
The text explicitly assigns 'Hebrew letter: Daleth (double)' as a signification, invoking the creative power of Hebrew letters.
All passages →Microcosm Macrocosmcosmology
The human being as a small-scale image of the entire cosmos; the body, soul, and intellect mirroring the structure of the heavens and the divine — distinct from correspondence in that it makes the human the privileged mirror.
The mapping of 'Reflex of God the Father' and 'Reflex of Adam' alongside cosmic elements like Jupiter suggests the human (Adam) mirrors the divine/cosmic structure.
All passages →Sephirotcosmology
The ten attributes or emanations through which the Ein Sof (Infinite) reveals itself and creates the universe in Kabbalistic theology.
The text explicitly cites 'Kabbalah: CHESED', which is one of the ten Sephirot in Kabbalistic theology.
