Metatron +

The Kabbalistic “Prince of Faces”, the Intelligence of the First Sephira, and the reputed ruler of Moses. His numeration is 314, the same as the deity title “Shaddai”, Almighty. He is also the Angel of the world of Briah, and he who conducted the Isrælites through the Wilderness, hence, the same as “the Lord God” Jehovah. The name resembles the Greek words ''metathronon ''or “beside the Throne”.[w.w.w.] [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Metempsychosis +

The progress of the soul from one stage of existence to another. Symbolized as and vulgarly believed to be rebirths in animal bodies. A term generally misunderstood by every class of European and American society, including many scientists. ''Metempsychosis ''should apply to animals alone. The kabalistic axiom, “A stone becomes a plant, a plant an animal, an animal a man, a man a spirit, and a spirit a god”, receives an explanation in Manu’s ''Mânava‐Dharma‐Shâstra ''and other Brahmanical books [[Category: CTD info from Theosophical Glossary]] (TG). +

Metis +

Wisdom. The Greek theology associated Metis — Divine Wisdom, with Eros — Divine Love. The word is also ''said ''to form part of the Templars’ deity or idol Baphomet, which some authorities derive from ''Baphe'', baptism, and ''Metis'', wisdom; while others say that the idol represented the two teachers whom the Templars equally denied, ''viz''., Papa or the Pope, and Mahomet.
