"The human being is an astrolabe of God, but one needs an astronomer to know how to use the astrolabe. How else could he fathom the conditions of the celestial spheres." The Kabala is based on these celestial spheres, they are known as the Sephiroth or emanations on the Tree of Life. The turning of these zodiacal signs and their influences are part of life here on Earth. They influence us in many ways, they guide and teach us. "In the hands of an astronomer the astrolabe is beneficial."
"For whoso knoweth him or herself knoweth his/her Lord. Just as this brass astrolabe is a mirror of the heavens, the human being is an astrolabe of God."
"When God makes a person to know himself, through the astrolabe of that person's own being he can witness the manifestations of God and his unqualified beauty moment by moment and glimmer by glimmer. The beauty is never absent from this mirror"
