did. Not that his hearer understood, at once. But Baba knew I would remember, some day, long after, that some faint glimmering of understanding would then dawn in the darkness of my unillumined mind. He knew, without my telling him, that I had studied the Kabbalah, and that some day I would remember, in connection with his apparently casual remark that he was "The Ancient One", that, in the the Kabbalistic symbolism of The Tree of Life, "The Ancient One" is one of the names attributed to Kether, the first emanation of Divinity, the Crown of The Tree of Life, representing, among the divine qualities, the will of God. He knew that I would also remember that Jesus had said "I and the Father are one," the Father referring to Chokmah, the second emanation of Divinity, representing the divine wisdom. He knew that I would remember that each Avataric manifestation, while the embodying perfection of all the divine qualities, stresses one as the dominant factor of his particular manifestation, and that Baba had said  that  each  successive  Avataric manifestation becomes more and more complete. And he knew that I would recall that the head of the Rosicrucian order is called "ippsissimus," which is Latin for "he who is most himself"and that ippsissimus is another of the names attributed to Kether. But at the time I remembered nothing.
