Ramon Llull is in direct relation with the catalan cabala and its teachings. We will make an exposure of his biography for placing him in a historical, cultural and geographical context.
The biography of Ramon Llull is enigmatic. It is not known completely when it was born. The date of 1232 and the place of Mallorca is commonly accepted . The Llull were a rich family, well related with the Catalan nobility.
Genealogically, Ramon Llull belonged to the family of the Erill. This family was one of 9 that went to the call of the legendary and mythical Otger Cataló and also the one that constructed the Romanesque churches of Santa Maria de Taüll and other of the valleys of the Pyrenees.
The Romanesque art, born in Catalan lands, how it explains Alexandre Deulofeu, was the first art of the European unit. The Romanesque art and the catalan cabala were born in the same place.
We have said that Llull was from the saga of the Erill and that these were one of the families that went with Otger Cataló. Who was Otger Cataló? Otger Cataló, is a legendary lieutenant of the German emperor Carlomagno, and become Catalan myth because after the defeat of the Catalan troops in hands of the Saracens, he took refuge in a cave of the mountain where adog nourished him; after the wounds were cured he made a call and he summoned the 9 Lords of the Land, with whom leaving from the monastery of the black virgin of N.S of Montgrony, reconquered the Catalan lands and reconstituted the catalanism.
This myth has a cabalystic interpretation. One of the 9 barons one was called "Erill", another was called "German". The Germans have been always beside the vernacular cause of the Catalan Countries and of the culture of Catalan language. Llull and Gaudí, among others, are catalan figures admired and recognized in Germany.
The parents of Ramon Llull lived in Barcelona -some biographers say that they were from Mataró (I·luro for the íbers)- and they went to Mallorca accompanying Jaume I the Conqueror (considerated for some medievalists historians like encarnament of the mythical King Arthur, and also a cabalist, with the title of King of Jerusalem).
To the reconquered territories to the Muslims, Jaume I gave it the category of reins, such it is the case of Kingdom of Valencia, Kingdom of Lleida, Kingdom of Mallorca....
Ramon Llull was a troubadour and a kind of tutor or cultural advisor of the prince Jaume who was the future King of Mallorca with the title of Jaume II to the death of Jaume I. Ramon Lull was then a person with culture. On an occasion he won a prize of poetry in Barcelona and received some Floral Sets. The Floral Games had been instituted in Barcelona, capital of Catalonia, by the King Joan I the "Loving one of the Kindness" the year 1393.
This Floral Games or of Gaia Science have been suppressed along the times due to spanish political situations.
The political situations that have forbidden them and have been against, have been political situations that have wanted to impose the culture of Spanish language in the name of centralist conception of Spain that they favor in Madrid and defavor the nations of the Iberian Peninsula that manifest themselves with vernacular languages, how it is the case of the Catalan Countries, the Galician Countries, and the Basque Countries, and also the lost betic league who lived in the territories today called Andalucia, Extremadura and Murcia, the Betics Countries.
After having been forbidden in Catalonia, the Floral Games were returned in year 1859 again. A great poet won them in this new stage, Jacint Verdaguer. The author of the epic poems "Canigó" and the "Atlantida".
The Floral Games or of the Gaia Science were proclaimed originally by a group of troubadours in the cathedral of Toulouse of Llenguadoc (Occitània) in the presence of the image of Our Virgin of the Golden One. The name of Gaia makes reference to the God of the Earth.
Fulcanelli, pseudonym of a famous alchemist like Ramon Llull, in the titled book "The mystery of the cathedrals" says that the cathedrals, especially the Gothic cathedrals, are really open books that teach the same culture than the pyramids of Egypt and the temples of Greece.
The cathedrals are the characteristic religious buildings of the Middle Ages and they were constructed in the centuries to give cult to the images of the black virgins.
The black virgins were compared to the god Isis of Egypt and to the god Artemisa of Greece, all them of black color. The images of the black virgins represent - in cabalistic terms - the sefirah of Binah in the diagram of the Tree of the Life. Fulcanelli, tells us that there is "an original language" and that to find it people have to search in the cabalístic origin of the word more "than in its literal meaning". we can deduce that "there is an esoteric language inside the structural language".
This "argotic league", is the language that used the mythical argonauts in the ship Argos. This language is also called the "league of the birds".
This language is what Jesucrist reveals to its Apostles when he tells them that they will speak it when they have been born from above.
The language of the ones born of above means "the ones born of the Spirit" or "Ein Sof", it is the language that in cabalístic language is called "tiferetic language". Some traditions also call it the "language of the birds".
The language of the ones that are born of the meat and the blood, so it is, genealogically (of the ethnic or racist genes) it is the language that in cabalístic language is called "yesodic language".
In this belief is based itself ALL the Christian teachings of the "gift of languages", being the gift that instills the Saintly Spirit to the Christians in such a way that they speak in the vernacular language of each place and therefore this is the meaning of the -catholic adoption - celebration of the Pasqua de Pentecostes (Easter). This was the party in that the troubadours like Ramon Llull went to the castles to concern in their exploits and recite their poems.
Ramon Llull, cabalist and Christian wrote in Catalan language. Like this made it the troubadours, also in Occitania and the Provença, while the Catholic official authorities preached only in Latin and not in vernacular language.
This language used by troubadors teached the mystery of all the things and, what is essential, teaches the deepest truths.
During the Middle Ages, this esoteric language or language of the gods, was known also with the name of Gaia Science or Bright Knowledge.
The Bright Knowledge, or catalan language, was introduced on the countries that were called "Gotland" that means "Land of the Gods" which it were the countries surrounding the Pyrenees mountains, were the vernacular languages were spoken (Basque, Occitan, Catalan and Provençal). French and Spanish were not spoken.
In the cathedral of Toulouse of Llenguadoc, devoted to the cult of the black virgin, is placed the "Golden One", a black virgin, in whom the troubadours and the Cathars and cabalistic people constituted the Floral Games.
The Floral Games have been a cultural demonstration of Catalonia in Catalan language. The Occitan language, the Provençal language, the Basque language, they have been "gaiatan" vernacular languages. The international Castilian, known as "spanish language", has ever not been it. On the contrary, it has been used to impose and erase them, to forbid them and to destroy its creative work.
E. C. Agrippa, advising German cabalist of the Emperor of Europe, Carles I of Germany wrote in his book "De Oculta Philosofa, De Vanitate Scientarum Declamatio, In artem breuen Raimundi Lulii commentaria you Tabula Abreuiatta, Orationes you Epistolae" chapter LXXIV titled "Proportion, and correspondence and reduction in the letters in the celestial signs and planets": "God is the word the humans divided in different languages, each one with its characters of writing, with its own order, number and figure, orderly, not to the the random or at will of the man, but according to the harmonic disposition with the celestial bodies. Of all the known languages, the Hebrew language is the holiest"
The book of E.C. Agrippa "natural and magic" has been translated into the Castilian with the title of "Hidden philosophy". They have deprived it of the name of "Ramon Llull" that came out in the original title. There are Spanish publishing companies that erase the names that make reference to the catalanism and to the catalan authors.
This hostility of Spain towards Catalonia, is related with the contents and the familiarity of the Catalan culture, as vernacular culture, with the culture of the cabala.
The book of E.C. Agrippa, supporter of the Great Art of Ramon Llull, continues saying: "Written (The Hebrew language) first in the headquarters of God, that it is the heavens, and following the position of the stars, the Hebrew letters are full of celestial mysteries, its figure and meaning as well as for that they refer to the numbers makes it contain the harmony that they guard among it. According to the Origins Theory, the names translated into another language do not preserve its origin" quite a lot lose its signification and naturalistic composition, its natural activity. The names imposed arbitrarily, without scientific/cabalistic basis, do not have natural activity "They are like "being disconnected".
"Who is capable of sorting and combining its letters correctly- suggests E.C. Agrippa - in any other language will be capable of Create".
Given that the cabala was born on Occitan, Provençal and Catalan lands and culture, it makes sense to think that these languages (languages familiarized because linguistic trunks are shared) are languages made by qualified persons to sort and to combine the letters correctly.
On the other hand, Ramon Llull - considerated the father of the Catalan language, given that he was cabalist, teacher in Bright Knowledge and creator of the Combinatory Method based in the cabalístic Tree of the Life - made the Catalan language with the cabalista criterion of "to sort and to combine correctly the letters" to give to the Catalan language a creative and living aspect, a tiferetic language. This universal language is the connection with "the natural activity" that emanates of the Ein Sof.
At present the Gaia Theory, inspired in the Origins principle that the "earth is a living organization" has been popularized for the scientist James Lovelock and it has many supporters, environmentalists, especially in the USA.
This poetic contests about the Gaia Science, in that the words have a hidden meaning and a determinate rhyme is based on the numbers, is based in the sefirotic system of the Tree of the Life and in the science of the cabala.
Denis de Rougemont in his book "The Love to Occident", the troubadours were Cathars.
The Cathars, who were known also with the name of Albigensian Christians and are considered Arian Christians like the Visigoths by some historians, were cabalists. The troubadours were also related with the black virgins, and these were related with to the cabala; in particular with the sefirah of "Binah".
Ramon Llull visited the cave where the image of the black virgin of Our Woman of Loving Stone (Verge de Rocamador) was found. The name of this Occitan black virgin is very clear in cabalistic language. The black virgins make reference to the sefirah of "Binah" of the Tree of the Life.
This sefirah has two demonstrations; one of them suggests "Wet nurse" the other one is called "Aima". "Ama" is the etymological root of the "loving" toponym and of catalan surnames like "Amat (Loved)" and "Amador (Loving)".
Rocamador (Stone Loving), that in French ("Rocamadour") has no sense, in Catalan and in Occitan (troubadour languagess) means: "Roc" means "stone"; "Ama", or "wet nurse", in cabalístic language means "black" with regard to the sefirah of "Binah"; "Dor" in Catalan means "made of gold" and in Hebrew and cabalístic language it makes reference to the "light" of the knowledge.
"Binah", in cabalístic language, is "the force of the delivery" in all types and levels and it also means "giving birth". This is: "where the idea is brought about that coming from the Ein Sof, it deposits in Kether and after becomes visible in Chockmah, who is the Father, it is brought about, - it materializes -" in Binah that it "is the Mother", the Great Mother Earth, that is visualized completely covered of black from the head to the "feet".
We have mentioned the Catalan king Joan I, establisher of the Floral Games in Barcelona, which was called "Loving of the Kindness". Given that he was a troubadour, this word, "Loving" being a cabalístic word that makes reference to the sefirah of Binah in the aspect of "Wet nurse".
The cabala speaks us about a sefirah called "Binah" that is visualized through the black color; the Muslims of the Islam have the black stone of the Kaaba. Christian black virgins and black stone of the Islam they have a thing in common: they are both an object of pilgrimages. Can the language of the cabala establish a bridge of dialog among Jews, Christians and Muslims? I believe that it is possible.
Three Catalans have played the lead in this dialog. Ramon Llull promoted the dialog with the Muslims with his cabalístic and Christian method. Anselm Turmeda became Muslim and adopted the name of Ab allah Targuman (Targum is the name with which cabalístics documents coming from Palestina are known) and he was considerated "saint" for the Muslims. Bonastruc ça Porta (Isaac the Blind) was cabalist and set up the School of the Soul in Girona.
Ramon Llull, married to Blanca Picany and had two sons: a girl called Margarida and a boy called Domènec.
When he was 30 years old had a vision of Jesucrist while he wrote a song for a lady, as a troubadour, and he became a mystic, a person who has direct contact with the divinity. He left the woman and the sons and, going to the mountain of Randa in Mallorca, went to live as a hermit. He lived solitary, meditating during some years. After some time, he wrote books about the contemplation of God and invented a system to talk mathematically, found for him in the nature, and inspired by God. This system had to serve everybody, especially the Jew religions, Muslim and Christian, in the Truth, to fraternize
He gave the name of Art to this system. The book is called THE ART OF FINDING THE TRUTH and is known also with the name of the system that is THE GREAT ARS in Latin, and that can be translated into the Catalan for: "The Great Art", a way to refer to the "knowledge more importing of the world": The knowledge of Truth.
THE ART OF FINDING THE TRUTH
"Is a mechanized system of reasoning". This mechanized system of reasoning, in so far as it was founded in a symbolic conception of the shared reality for the Christians, the Muslims and the Jews - the three monotheistic religions -, had to allow - according to Llull -, the members of these different religions to talk about the truths of the faith, not from arguments of the respective authorities, but through "necessary reasons".
The academicians - scholastic in time of Ramon LLull - did not agree on following this system or path. Today, the same situation is lived. It does not take the dialog to us to the communion in the common sense of the Truth. The Truth does not make us free nor twins because nobody agrees on describing what is the Truth. And, on the other hand, there are political powers which does not interest them in the Truth but in their power in the lie.
The method of reasoning of Llull is valid also in our times. According to Francesc Hillocks, - General Concept of the Catalan Science -, the education of this "art", of this path, is part of the international mission that has Catalonia in front of all the peoples of the Earth. Among other things, because it is trhough this path that peoples can arrive at the true peace, which is, the peace based on the respect for everybody. Over dogmas and doctrines, of races and social classes, of nations and regions, the human beings feel brothers in a reasonable way, dialoging without rejecting to change of opinion when the other one shows us its part of the Truth that we all share.
"The system of reasoning of Llull - the Art -, was a hermit-like intuition. "The Art mixes combinatorily, the objects of the reason, the concepts (Represented in symbolic letters) from the reading of the natural mixture of the elements (water, fire, earth|land and air)."
Are taken into account the three level: Divine, Spiritual and Material, and the three principles: Truth, Kindness and Beauty. These combinations, correlate also with the colors, the musical notes (Llull was a troubadour), the stars, etc. Due to the utilization of combinations, Llull was the first computer specialist of the history. So, Llull, is related with the computer science.
Of combinations, in a basic way there are three classes: Square (4 figures), Triangular (3 figures) and Circles (9 figures).
It would be an example of square combination or table - of 4 elements:
The elements - Air, Fire, Water and Earth placed in the vertex of the square.
(The cabalistes make these combinatories of 4 elements from the 4 letters of the name of God, the Tetragramma, - IHVH -)
Nostradamus was son of the Catalan man called "Jaumet", also also used 4 verses - quatretes - in his predictions).
Outside this square, there is another square in the vertex of the small one. In the vertices of the big one we place the principles of the mentioned elements:
Hot, Cold, Humid and Dry.
Ramon Llull bases all his Art of finding the truth on combinatories.
The first combinations that he makes are "quaternaries".
B Memory
C understanding or Common Sense
D loving Will
E Acts on BCD vertices
F Memory
G understanding or Common Sense
H disloving Will
A Acts on FGH vertices
K forgetting Memory
L Ignoring or lack of Common Sense
M loving or disloving Will
N Acts on the KLM vertices
O Composts of BFK
P Composts of CGL
Q Composts of DHM
R Composts of OPQ
The 4 letters of the cabalistes derive from all combinatories were the 4 letters of the name of Jahvé: IHVH (Iod, Have, you Go, He). These 4 letters are known with the name of Tetragrammaton.
The Tetragrammaton is represented symbolically with 4 red poles in a golden background: the Catalan flag. This flag has the symbolic name of "Senyera", and it means "wisdom"
The Tetragrammaton can be used in all sciences. We find them in the cosmos, in the nature and in the human body. On many occasions we use them in an unaware way when we speak or we reason with wisdom.
The 4 elements are not essences, but states of combination. They are the result of some proportions.
This is deduced from the reality. It proposes a metaphysical question to us: What is the Being and what is the Reality? What there is out of the reality? The essence is the Truth, but the Reality is only a perception, it is not the that Him.
This art not only give us answers, but makes us bring up questions.
This is the one that Llull calls the Scale (Stair) of the Creation, he conceives the thought as a shadow, a wall, a demeanor among the event and the perception, among the reality and the catchment that we make of her.
Regarding the triangular combinatories - of three elements -, he made them tying letters that represented concepts.
For example, the letter T represented God, Operation, Creature. It is related, if combined, with other concepts or adjectives:
Difference, Setback, Concordance,
Beginning, Medium, End
Senior, Equal, Minor
Affirmation, Negation, Doubt
Regarding the combinatories of 9 elements - the circles or wheels -, he circumcised capital letters and names of the attributes of God.
(This is precisely what also the cabalists make with the tree of the Knowledge and the 4 names of God)
These attributes correspond in the sefiroth of the Tree of the Knowledge. 9 are used because of the combinatories. The number One is not used because it represents "I".
Cabalistic attributes are: Welfare (Spirit), Wisdom, Common Sense, Pity, Power, Beauty, Feelings, Thoughts, Subconscious, Needs (Material).
To the spirit (Kindness) corresponds the white color or blue sky, to the wisdom the lilac color, to the common sense the deep blue color, to pity the blue color, to the power the red color, to the beauty (balance, Self-Supervision) the yellow color, to the feelings the green color, to the thought the orange color, to the subconscious the blue color, to the needs (Matter|Subject, carnal Passions) the black color.
Everything has correspondence with the cosmos, the earth and the parts of the human body. At the three levels there are doors or points of contact with the other upper levels and subordinates.
(The Templars looked for determinate geographical places to install churches, monasteries, castles and cities there. They say also that there are relations between these points and the megalithic monuments. This combinatory, configures a geopolitical map of astrologic nations).
The cabalists say "emanation". All what there is in the Creation, emanates of God. All these arguments remember the teachings of the cabala by which the diagram of the Tree of the Knowledge is based on.
Any phenomenon of the Creation, due to emanating or flowing of God, had to behave according to a combination of these mentioned. The combinatories were mathematics, logic, algebra, geometria... the concept of God would be that God is a great mathematician.
To find the truth of any question, it is only necessary to reduce it and to compare it to a combination of these attributes.
If it is not done like this, it means that the deduction or proposal is false, since it is not according to the structure of God nor of its reflection, the Universe.
The attributes and the relationships can apply to 9 subjects: God, Angels, Sky, Elements, Humans, Animals, Vegetals, Minerals and Matter.
Putting the 9 representative letters in two concentric circles and making it to turn, he obtained all combinations in couples.
To obtain the combinations from 3 in 3 he made it both with 3 concentric circles making turn from inside. Also he put triangles and squares in the circles there. This gave him combinations of three in three and four by four.
The Trinity - the triangle - and the square (Tetragamma, 4 stick ,4 letters of the name of God), were fundamental.
The light is not only a perceivable thing, but also something with which we see every thing. The pure being is light and spirit, the body is darkness; when they both are joined the form is born.
In the year 1289 he returns to the city of Montpeller, and made more accessible to people a reduction in the Art of Finding of the Truth. We know this art with the name of Abbreviated Art of finding the Truth.
The aspects of the Art are summarized in 5 points:
1.-Reduction to 4 figures; the fourth comes off compound as a general of 3 circles. In the course of the years these sleep rules complimented on rulers and questions.
2.-Reduction of the attributes or divine dignity in 9: Kindness, Greatness, Eternity, Power, Wisdom, Will, Truth and Gloria
3.-Reduction and unification of the alphabet; he uses only 9 letters and he distributes all meanings that will be used in them.
4.-Explanation of all the possible comminatory in a General Table (the amount of combinations are 1.680)
5.-Writing of the questions or rulers and the subjects. In the first case it is a matter of introducing the questions that in the Aristotelian philosophy introduce the predicaments in the mechanism of the Art and that in this system it have a purpose in the elaboration of the definition.
The subjects are the serialization in a closed list, of all the possible matters, they are specified in: God, the angels, the sky, the soul, the imaginative one, the sensitive one, the vegetative one, the elementative.
After meditating and writing in the Majorcan mountain of Randa, he went down from the mountain and he dedicated himself to explaining to the universities and the courts of Europe, Asia and Africa and to the Popes of the Vatican his Art.
In this sense, the biography of Llull remembers the biography of Buddha or Zaratrustra, and other great spiritual teachers, who after living in the mountain isolated and meditating in a cave and under a tree, find the light and go down to explain it to the rest of the human beings. The cave has its cabalístic symbolism that makes reference to the inner world and the tree makes reference to the Tree of the Life.
He set up monasteries like that of Miramar in Mallorca. He traveled to Barcelona, Montpeller, Girona, Paris, Tunisia, Gènova, and several places. He always preached at university and ecclesiastical churches - Christian, Jewish and Islamic Muslims.
The biographers tell us that he preached using three languages, the Catalan, the Latin and the Arab. It seems that to convince to the Jews he would also have to use the Jew. In Mallorca there was a lot of Jews that spoke Catalan. However, determinate anti-cabalists powers have wanted to erase all signals that they relate to Ramon Llull with the Christian cabala.
He was going to visit the cave of the black virgin of N.D. of "RocAmaDor (Loving stone)" in Occitània, near l'Albi, the capital city of the Cathars, and he visited the caves of black virgins nearby N.D. of Lluch in Mallorca, and also the black virgin of Montserrat and the black virgin the Mercè (Mercy) in Barcelona.
But in his biography there are 9 years unknown. 9 years of initiation in an unknown place. It is not known what he made in that time nor where he was. If it is known, is not said.
He died in the year 1315. His grave is in the church of Sant Francesc de Palma de Mallorca.
Everybody agrees: he was Catalan, he was troubadour, he was Christian, wrote the Art, a system of finding the Truth talking mathematically and with logic... we have a biography of Ramon Llull accepted by everybody. But there are different analyses, and contradictory interpretations.
COMPARISONS OF THE WORK OF RAMON LLULL AND THE HEBREW CABALA
1. - The definition of the Art
The definition of the Art, the Art of finding the Truth, is the following one: The Art is a system of reasoning that can be demonstrated mathematically. The cabala can also describd in this way.
2. - The symbolism of the 4 stages of life
His life had 4 deliveries:
The mundane one (Courtly troubadour until 30 years).
The solitary one (Hermit in a cave on top of a mountain)
The intellectual (Writer of book and in particular of the Great Art)
The missionary (Journeys and public witness)
We can take a look at his life in a different way, analyzing the environment. The circumstances that surround a person are important to describe it, and many times bring us, for the "intuitive logic" those pieces that we lack to recompose the "puzzle".
Llull was a Christian, not a Catholic. The Catholics have made several interpretations of the Faith and have changed of opinion along the years according to criteria approved of in several councils. Ramon Llull suffered very fierce inquisitorial control by the inquisitor Arnau Eimerich. The Catholic Church has not made him saint. It has only made him "lay brother".
3. - The relation of Llull with the nature
As a Christian, Llull, had a lot present what Jesucrist said: I am the path, the Truth and the Life. The good truth will make us free. The life of Ramon Llull adapted itself to this outline. The Art of Finding the Truth is the path that Ramon Llull opened us. However, he found the Law of God observing the nature. It was not invented. Also we find these relationships or correspondences with the nature in the cabala.
Everybody can walk this path. What do we need to make? He teaches us: The Tree, the Scale, the Deed, and the Combinatory of the names or letters.
4. - Coincidence of the symbols in Lull's thought and the symbols of the cabala
The Tree
The Scaler of the Knowledge or Intellect
The importance of the writing
The 4 names of God
The technique of the combinatory
The geometric figures: Triangulation, quadratures and circles
The cabala also uses these symbols and these methodologies. The cabala uses the combinatory of letters.
Is The Art of Llull a cabalístic system?
The lullian symbols are:
The Tree
The Scale
The 4 names of God
The writing as a means of to be in touch and to make path with God.
Thee symbols of the cabala:
The Tree of the Knowledge (of the Life or of the Wisdom)
The Scale of Jacob
The Tetragramma (The 4 letters of the name of God)
The writing is holy: God constructs the world with the Verb and the Word, the language... The Devil to destroy the Work of God, destroys its languages.
Jaume I populated Mallorca with Cathars (Gabriel Alomar Esteve, "Càtaros y occitanos en el Reino de Mallorca"). The family of Ramon Llull went in Mallorca with Jaume I. Llull was a Cathar and therefore Christian Albigensian?
We should analyze and would have to seek what these things and these concepts mean all and would have to penetrate, in its circumstances, also:
- The cabala was born in the Provença
- The Templars
- Llull was of Catalan-Provençal dynasty
- Llull was a Troubadour
- He made pilgrimages in places where there are black virgins
- The European empire was then favorable to the vernacular nations
- Saint Benet and the Benedictine monasteries where there was cult to black virgins
- Saint Bernat and the order of Cluny
- Construction of Monasteries
- Construction of Cathedrals
- Fights with the Islam to reconquer Jerusalem and to impose a cultural conception
- Black plague....
- Appointment in Casp...
- Dynasty of the Trastámara de Castilla...
- Destruction of the culture of the cabala and determinate vernacular nations like Catalonia, Occitània, Scotland, Llombardia...
- Success of States like Italy, France, Spain and Great Britain....
- Some new languages prevail as officers and other come off exiled and they are an object of destruction.
- The cabala is buried and distorted, slandered and proscribed.
New nations with non vernacular languages have spent centuries and the world has not found the peace. The cabalístic language and the Vernacular Peoples Order have to be returned based on its values: Truth, Love and Justice. This means that the States like Spain and France, were born when the cabala was buried, and that they will be buried when the cabala succeeds again.
5. - The Book of the Order of Cavalry and the Sefer Yetzirah
The Book of the Order of Cavalry is the place were Llull introduces his doctrine in a narrative frame, and it is divided or distributed in 7 deliveries.
In the "prologue" he explains to us: "Coming from the 7 planets, we are Celestial Corsicans and we govern the Earthly Corsicans; we separate this Book from Cavalry in 7 part to demonstrate that we the knights have honor and lordship about the people of Heavens to defend them".
In "Sefer Yetzirah", the Book of the Training" (IV, vi), he teaches the postulates of the cabala and he sugests the following: "Having been the 7 consonants, double powers were stablished, combined, weighing for God, and formed the 7 planets and the 7 levels of the world..."
These 7 planets of the world are those that are represented in the 7 arms of the Menorah in the Jewish culture of the cabala.
6. - The symbolism of the grave of Ramon LLull.
Llull died in Mallorca in 1316 at 84 years of age. His grave is placed in the church of Saint Francesc of the city of Palma de Mallorca. His grave has some symbolism: 14 angels hold 7 crowns with the name of one "Art" in each one.
Suspiciously, an Art is lacking: the philosophy! A considerated very important Art of Ramon Llull is lacking!, precisely the Art for finding the Truth.
14+7 = 11 This figure does not have any cabalistic meaning. If we add the philosophy we have 14+8= 22 This figure represents the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
In the grave we can see him with a cylinder of white marble in which it is recorded the cabalistic symbols:
1. 2. 3. - 4. 5. 6. - 7. 8. 9. - 10
Some authorities that do not want to relate Ramon Llull with the cabala nor neither with the interpretation that can be made of the evangelic message of Jesucrist through the cabalístic criterion, do not want to admit that the inscription of this symbol in the Llull's grave was an idea of Llull himself. Which is the meaning of this symbol?
The numbers refer to the 10 sefiroth that integrate the diagram of the Tree of the Knowledge, also called the Tree of Life or the Tree of Wisdom, in Catalan.
The 10 sefiroth make reference to the 10 attributes of God. God manifests in emanation that are represented in the Tree from top to bottom. Upward the Spirit is found and the Matter is found downward.
Those attributes are called also "perfection", due to the nature of the object - God - to wich they are being related.
The 10 attributes summarizes the idea of God. The human being, when acquire - let's also say "to embody" - this ten perfection skills becomes "perfect".
(The last attribute of perfection is in the sefirah called Kether, and it is on the base of the reason why the Albigensian Christians -Cathars- were called "the perfect ones". The name of Catalonia comes etymologically of the same base than the Cathars.
Remember that Catalonia and Occitània are part of a country that was known with the name Gothland (Land of the Gods. In Catalan language "God" ("Déu") and "ten" ("deu") are written in the same way).
This 10 attributes or perfection applies to the perfection of the metals. What the alchemists say it was the trans-substance of the matter is to convert the silver into gold.
Llull in his writings speaks about the scale of silver and about the scale of gold. The Big Work is to change the lead of the helly/infernal Saturn in the gold of the celestial Sun.
Llull and Arnau de Vilanova - the shield of which is significantly cabalistic - would exchange some knowledge. The biographers who have obtained the approval from the official authorities, deny these relations and arguments.
Ramon Rosselló is one of the few historians who accept it and defend it. Those who believe that Llull tried to obtain the "filosofal stone" are many.
Llull was a hermit but, when he left the cave, he teached in a lot of Universities, in some courts of important Kings and to the Popes, more than even in the villages.
He was obsessed on converting Muslims to the Christian faith.
However: Which Christian faith? The answer: the Christian faith that the teachings of the Hebrew cabala are based on.
Llull wrote 250 books about all sciences. Of all these books, the best known are 7. Not too much know the rest. Perhaps because they are the most cabalistic, strange and esoteric.
7. - Moshe Idel, the Israel expert of the cabala and Ramon LLull
The Catalan cabalistic "sefiroth" contributed to stimulating the Llull's "dignity", the attributes of the divine nature.
In the Catalan cabala, the first "sefirah"- Kether, or the Crown -, it is also to the last cause of every being.
For the rabbi, and great Catalan wise man, Moshés well Nahmán (Nahmànides, or Bonastruc ça Porta, or Isaac the Blind), Kether was an entity not created, and the cause of the other "sefiroth"; It means "dignity", according to the used terminology in the language of Ramon LLull.
Moshe Idel, demonstrates that the cabalists from Girona (Catalonia) transmitted the secret doctrine of Nahmànides of the "Kavod" or "Glory" to Llull with the alternative name of "Kether". Kether is Glory, Kether is Dignity.
The Jewish literature has been written in a diversity of languages, among them, the "yiddish". The "yiddish" was destroyed by Adolf Hitler (in Poland) in the same period that Franco (1936) attempted to destroy the Catalan language.
In the Hebrew literature it is said that a Rebirth will be done in "Iberia", and at the same time in Jersualem. It is important to add a comment in this sentence, because when common people think about Iberia they use to refer to Spain. But this is not the mental pattern of hebrew literature.
Like already I have mentioned at first, Iberia had the culture of the cabala due to Catalan people, Iberia is related with the "land of Hebrews", and it applies commonly to the northern side of the peninsula, were Catalonia and Basque and Galizia countries are.
When in 1492, the Catholic Kings made "the Spanish constitution", they imposed the Spanish language as only official language, they wanted to destroy the culture of the cabala that was living in the Iberian languages, among these, in the Catalan language. Also, in the Basque language, in the Galician language, in the bètica language and in the Bable language of the kingdom Astur-Leon.
We remember Moshe of "Leon", in the Kingdom Astur-Leon, writing the cabalistic book "The Zohar" when Spain still not existed. Moshe de Leon was not Spanish, nor the village of "León" was in Spain. Spain was constituted for pursuing and annihilating the culture of the cabala. The Spanish language of Castilla is not correct to Give the cabala teachings, because is not a valid vernacular language to transmit it, but a tiferethic language.
The betic language of the mytical city of Tarsis is at present not recognized for the inhabitants of Andalusia and Extremadura (Betics Countries). In which language did the cabalistes of the Kingdom of Granada and the Caliphate of Cordoba wrote before the Spanish language was imposed in the name of Catholic Spain in 1492? They wrote in Hebrew, but also, in betic language.
The "Spain idea" was born to react against the Jews and to the culture of the cabala. It is necessary to analyze the history for noticing it.
RAMON LLULL AND THE NATIONALISM IN THE IBERIAN PENINSULA, IN EUROPE AND INTERNATIONALLY
In the book "De Oculta Philosofa, De Vanitate Scientarum Declamatio, In artem breuen Raimundi Lulii commentaria Tabulates Abreuiatta, Orationes Epistolae" written by E.C. Agrippa (1485-1535), a German that was at the service of the Catalan kings of the Crown of Aragó and Provença, advisor of the European emperor Charles I of Germany, gives an explanation of how the borders should be outlined among the nations of Europe with regard to astrological criteria. Some criteria that can be justied cabalistically.
Once again we find the relationship among Catalan cabalists or disciple of Catalan cabalists and emperors of Europe of German origin: Guifré el Pelós with Charles el Calb, Otger Cataló with Carlomagno, Arnau de Vilanova with Frederic Hohenstaufen, Llull a with E.C. Agrippa and Charles I...
In the chapter XXXI of the mentioned book we can read the following: "Distribution of the kingdoms and provincies in the planets: The universe with different regions and provinces, is distributed in planets and signs. In Saturn with Capricorni corresponds to Macedonia, Tracia, Iliria, India, Arian or Arriana and Gordiana"... Jupiter with Sagitari correspond to Toscana, Celtica, Hispania and Arabia..."
This is a criterion to apply the nationalistic criterion, having into account that astrology has in its basis that everything is in motion. This is the criterion that applies to understand the vernacular nationalism.
Behind this criterion we find a concept of an Empire of Integrated Nations that describe the world depending on the vernacular identity. The Catalan Countries, Euskalerria (Basque Country), Galizia and Betic Countries also have their vernacular place.
Take now a look to the names of Iliria and Arriana. Guifré el Pelós was born in Arria... the name of Ilna or Elna; Granada was originally "Ilíberis"; Lleida was "Ilerda"; Mataró was "Iluro"... it is necessary to look for some cultural relationship that has been hidden to us! It is necessary to look for this relation because it will help us to meeting a cultural conception that it is identified with the human beings mentally, emotionally and economically. It will help us to return to an universal order that has been altered maliciously and that is the cause of the spoil of the world. It is necessary to meet a new international order if it is wanted to meet the true universal peace.
In the Bible we read that "God distributed each People according to its language and habits, in the Earth"... The universal order, as it is deduced from this writing, or the order that God "wants", is a multinational and multilinguistic order, and not a mono-national order mor a mono-language order.
God breathes in many languages.
Amador Vega, a wise person that has studied deeply Ramon Llull, explains that:
Llull traveled around the world looking for the wisest men and summoned them for arguing or talking with them. In his work Ars Magna, Llull wrote a universal grammar for Christians, Muslims and Hebrews, a scientific method of discussion or dialog. The mystics of the three monotheistic religions accept that God has some attributes, that there is a certain number of names of God: Llull described them and created some tables that they allowed that each word or term could be combined with the others, given that all were equivalent; a universal grammar with a binary logic created combinatory.
Because of that they say that Llull was precursor of the computer science. This method allows the theological dialog and also expresses that the Christian mystics, sufis (Islam) and cabalists (jews) shared the same vision of the Divine.
Harold Bloom is interested in Llull because his Judaic echoes. Llull creates a language that recombines words, because God has written the World and each Word speaks about the World of God.
The mystical thought of Llull originates the modern European thought, the religious nihilism of Nietzche and of Heiddegger.
The method of Llull, or the Art to Find the Truth, explain the Great Ars, a cabalistic method based on the Tree of Life. Its universal fruit is a language that serves to everybody. This book teaches that God created a universal language to talk in many languages, the vernacular languages of each place.
The catalan Guifré d'Arrià, genealogically descendant of the king David of Israel, planted the Tree of Life, Ramon Llull harvested the fruit, Salvador Espriu, complains because the Tree of Life is absent, it has been cut. Who cut it? Who the earth poisons so the Tree of Life can not grow up again?
If we read the poems of Salvador Espriu, we'll have an answer.
On the Earth there are some sovereign Nations and some oppressed Nations. On the Earth there are some Nations that plant the Tree of Life and some Nations that cut the Tree of Life. The Catalan Countries, have been from the Nations that have planted the Tree of Life. At present, the Catalan Countries are a Nation without Sovereignty.
