Hay‐yah +

One of the metaphysical human “Principles”. Eastern Occultists divide men into seven such Principles; Western Kabbalists, we are told, into three only — namely, ''Nephesh Ruach ''and ''Neshamah''. But in truth, this division is as loose and as mere an abbreviation as our “Body, Soul, Spirit ”. For, in the ''Qabbalah ''of Myer (''Zohar ''ii.,141 b., ''Cremona Ed''. ii., fol. 63 b., col. 251) it is stated that ''Neshamah ''or Spirit has three divisions, “the highest being ''Ye’hee‐dah ''(Atmâ) the middle, ''Hay‐yah ''(Buddhi), and the last and third, the ''Neshamah, ''properly speaking (Manas)”. Then comes ''Mahshabah, ''Thought (the lower Manas, or conscious Personality), in which the higher then manifest themselves, thus making ''four''; this is followed by ''Tzelem, ''Phantom of the Image (''Kama‐rupa ''in life the Kamic element); ''D’yooq‐nah'', Shadow of the image ''(Linga Sharira, ''the Double); and ''Zurath'', Prototype, which is Life — seven in all, even without the ''D’mooth'', Likeness or Similitude, which is called a lower manifestation, and is in reality the ''Guf'', or Body. Theosophists of the E. S. who know the transposition made of Atmâ and the part taken by the ''auric ''prototype, will easily find which are the ''real seven, ''and assure themselves that between the division of Principles of the Eastern Occultists and that of the real Eastern Kabbalists there is no difference. Do not let us forget that neither the one nor the other are prepared to give out the real and ''final ''classification in their public writings [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Hay‐yoth ha Qadosh +

The holy living creatures of Ezekiel’s vision of the ''Merkabah, ''or vehicle, or chariot. These are the four symbolical beasts, the cherubim of Ezekiel, and in the Zodiac Taurus, Leo, Scorpio (or the Eagle), and Aquarius, the man [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Heabani +

A famous astrologer at the Court of Izdubar, frequently mentioned in the fragments of the Assyrian tablets in reference to a dream of Izdubar, the great Babylonian King, or Nimrod, the “mighty hunter before the Lord ”. After his death, his soul being unable to rest underground, the ghost of Heabani was raised by Merodach, the god, his body restored to life and then transferred alive, like Elijah, to the regions of the Blessed [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Head of all Heads +

Used of the “Ancient of the Ancients” ''Atteehah D’atteekeen, ''who is the “Hidden of the Hidden, the Concealed of the Concealed”. In this cranium of the “White Head”, ''Resha Hivrah, ''“dwell daily 13,000 myriads of worlds, which rest upon It, lean upon It” ''(Zohar iii. Idrah Rabbah)''. . . “In that ''Atteehah ''nothing is revealed except the Head alone, because it is the Head of all Heads. . . The Wisdom above, which is the Head, is hidden in it, the Brain which is tranquil and quiet, and none knows it but Itself. . . . And this Hidden Wisdom . . . the Concealed of the Concealed, the Head of all Heads, a Head which is not a Head, nor does any one know, nor is it ever known, what is in that Head which Wisdom and Reason cannot comprehend “ (''Zohar ''iii., fol. 288 a). This is said of the Deity of which the Head (i.e., Wisdom perceived by all) is alone manifested. Of that Principle which is still higher nothing is even predicated, except that its universal presence and actuality are a philosophical necessity [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Heart Sutra +

Also called ''Prajnaparamita Hridaya Sutra'', ''Sin-King'' and, in Japan, ''Shingyo''. It is among the shortest and most popular texts of the Prajnaparamita literature. De Zirkoff refers to editions in D. T. Suzuki's ''Manual of Zen Buddhism'' (1935) and Edward Conze's ''Buddhist Wisdom Books'' (1958). (BCW [[SMW::off]][[Zirkoff B. - Appendix (BCW vol.3)#498|3:498]][[SMW::on]]). +

Heavenly Adam +

The synthesis of the Sephirothal Tree, or of all the Forces in Nature and their informing deific essence. In the diagrams, the Seventh of the lower Sephiroth, Sephira ''Malkhooth'' — the Kingdom of Harmony — represents the feet of the ideal Macrocosm, whose head reaches to the first manifested Head. This Heavenly Adam is the ''natura naturans, ''the abstract world, while the Adam of Earth (Humanity) is the ''natura naturata ''or the material universe. The former is the presence of Deity in its universal essence; the latter the manifestation of the intelligence of that essence. In the ''real Zohar ''not the fantastic and anthropomorphic caricature which we often find in the writings of Western Kabbalists — there is not a particle of the personal deity which we find so prominent in the dark cloaking of the Secret Wisdom known as the Mosaic Pentateuch [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +
