 Secrets of Mason

The secret practice, or practice of secrecy (French: pratique du secret), is a folk healing practice, encountered in some European countries, particularly in Francophone Swiss communities, and probably dating back to the Christian Middle Ages. Practitioners are known as faiseurs de secret (reciters of the secret) or guérisseurs (healers).

The word shamanism probably derived from the Tungusic word šaman, meaning "one who knows".

Shamans are said to treat ailments and illnesses by mending the soul. Alleviating traumas affecting the soul or spirit are believed to restore the physical body of the individual to balance and wholeness. Shamans also claim to enter supernatural realms or dimensions to obtain solutions to problems afflicting the community. Shamans claim to visit other worlds or dimensions to bring guidance to misguided souls and to ameliorate illnesses of the human soul caused by foreign elements. Shamans operate primarily within the spiritual world, which, they believe, in turn, affects the human world. The restoration of balance is said to result in the elimination of the ailment.

A Tetractys of the letters of the Tetragrammaton adds up to 72 by gematria

72 = 72 SR / June 29th, 2021 (XIII / IIII)

Moshe Chaim Luzzatto writes that the tree of the Tetragrammaton "unfolds" in accordance with the intrinsic nature of its letters, "in the same order in which they appear in the Name, in the mystery of ten and the mystery of four." Namely, the upper cusp of the Yod is Arich Anpin and the main body of Yod is and Abba; the first Hei is Imma; the Vav is Ze`ir Anpin and the second Hei is Nukvah. It unfolds in this aforementioned order and "in the mystery of the four expansions" that are constituted by the following various spellings of the letters:

ע"ב/`AV: יו"ד ה"י וי"ו ה"י, so-called "`AV" according to its gematria value ע"ב=70+2=72.

ס"ג/SaG: יו"ד ה"י וא"ו ה"י, gematria 63.

מ"ה/MaH: יו"ד ה"א וא"ו ה"א, gematria 45.

ב"ן/BaN: יו"ד ה"ה ו"ו ה"ה, gematria 52.

Luzzatto summarises, "In sum, all that exists is founded on the mystery of this Name and upon the mystery of these letters of which it consists. This means that all the different orders and laws are drawn after and come under the order of these four letters. This is not one particular pathway but rather the general path, which includes everything that exists in the Sefirot in all their details and which brings everything under its order."
