The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Above this mind-mesh, the conflicting interplay of thoughts, there is a Universal condition which cannot be grasped by the human mind. Human beings can understand it through the heart faculty but not through the mind. Although mind was formed by the interplay of forces from the lower and upper worlds, and in this were the heavens, as well as the hells made from the earth, nevertheless, the Light of Intelligence shining through the mind-mesh from above causes mind to look below upon name and form.

Even when it looks up it does not see anything beyond this mesh which forms the sky of Malakut, the Mental Plane, even as a fish cannot see above the surface of the water. Personality on earth looks up only so far-the light is turned back toward earth, forming again between the Mental Plane and earth the Psychic Realm, which is created by human reflections and emotions. The Psychic Realm is not in reality a sphere such as the Physical Plane (Nasut), the Mental Plane (Malakut), and the Spiritual Plane (Djabrut). In reality it is subjective, formed by the mind turning in upon itself and its experiences.

The veil of Isis is this same sky of Malakut, and when once that is penetrated the Goddess is beheld in all Her Glory.
