City of Nine Gates
"Now, it is stated in Kabbalah that the second floor or the second level of the Tower of Babel is square, with nine stories. The square is always the symbol of the four elements. The nine stories are the nine doors of the physical body, which are the nine openings through which the impressions that comes from the physical world pass into and out of our consciousness, into our psyche; namely, we have:
2 eyes: sight
2 ears: hearing
2 nostrils: smell
1 mouth: taste
1 anus
1 sexual organ: touch
Total: 9 doors or openings in the physical body.
"The anus is the exit door through which we throw all the waste, all of that which is not good for our human organism.
"The Ninth Door or ninth gate is the sexual organ; it is that door from which we take pure life.
"These nine doors are related to our five senses in the physical body, which in the book The Bhagavad-Gita the Lord Krishna refers as "The Sacred City of Nine Doors."
"We have to take care of those nine doors in order to know how to develop the spiritual elements that we need to have inside of us."
Gnostic Teachings:
Acts of Peter and the Apostles
S tar of Eight Points
The Pentalpha (Microcosmic Star)
Jonah and the Whale (Arcanum 20: Resurrection)
The Dharmodaya (Star of David or Seal of Solomon)

56. Jesus said,
“Whoever has come to understand the World
has found only a corpse,
and whoever has found a corpse,
is superior to the World.”
The Sacrament of Baptism: יהשוה (Sexual Transmutation)
The Book of Revelation
Arcanum 21 Transmutation: SHIN
"Eheieh Asher Eheieh (He is what He is)"
"The three visible flames are represented by the three primary colors: Blue, Yellow and Red that are united by the invisible flame.
"The right side of the Godhead (Kether) manifests three heads or three flames; each flame is represented by the letter “Iod.” The three of them descend through “Vav” from the Ain Soph Aur and reunite in the mysterious Sephirah Daath. In Daath the three flames manifest through Abba and Aima who manifest their creative powers through the Sephirah Yesod that represents the foundation of the letter Shin. This foundation is related to Nun that contains the very essence of God (the Ain Soph Aur that shines in the left side of the Godhead Kether) within the waters of Mem in Yesod.
"So this is why the Holy Name of God in Kabbalah contains four letters, four flames: Three visible and one invisible: יהוה Iod, Hei, Vav, Hei.
"Only those who enter into the Ain Soph can see the Four Headed Flame of God.
"The Ain Soph reveals its secret essence, its invisible flame through ש Shin when the latter is self-realized within any Monad.

the Church's unofficial position is an example of theistic evolution, stating that faith and scientific findings regarding human evolution are not in conflict, though humans are regarded as a special creation, and that the existence of God is required to explain both monogenism and the spiritual component of human origins. Moreover, the Church teaches that the process of evolution is a planned and purpose driven natural process, actively guided by God.
