Friends,

Grace Knocke starts thus a text published in the current issue of the 
Pasadena TS magazine "Sunrise":

"Like most ancient peoples, the Hebrews saw man as a copy of the 
universe. He thus contains all the potencies thereof: spiritual, 
vital, material. Hence, Qabbalistic philosophy pictures each human 
being as comprising a number of elements:

" 'when the Holy One created man He took the dust of the lower 
Sanctuary, but for the making of his soul He chose the dust of the 
upper Sanctuary. Just as in the formation of man's body from the dust 
of the lower Sanctuary, three cosmic elements [air, fire, water] were 
combined, so in the formation of his soul from the dust of the upper 
Sanctuary, further elements, to the number of three, were mingled, 
and so man was completely formed'. — Zohar 3:24b "
