I have often offered the personal view that astrology is the
origin of all our esoteric systems. It can certainly be argued
of Kabbalah. As to the "paths" between sephiroth, on the major
scale there aren't any, as I try to show in my "Keys to Kabbalah"
[Part Three]. I produced, last November a short paper linking
the Speher Yetzirah text with that of the 32 Paths of Wisdom
text, and both with the cathedral and abbey churches begun around
the 12th century - plus the Temple at Luxor circa 1600 bce. It
is not practical to upload this anywhere, as Hebrew text is used
in places, and there are many diagrams. E-mail me if you are
interested. These items are not free BTW :-).
Re the Luxor connection, see Acts 7:22 - "And Moses was trained
in all the wisdom of the Egyptians." Pretty explicit, huh?

How big is the pin?
Old joke: "My wife/husband is an angel."
"You're lucky, mine's still living."
