In the Zohar, two engineers, George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, "found a detailed physical description description of a god named the 'Ancient of Days'. he androgynous god consisted of a male part and a female part, which is !uite typical of mystery religions. hat struc# Sassoon and Dale as truly odd a$out the god was the fact that it appeared to $e a god that could $e ta#en to pieces and reassem reassem$led." $led." % &rad Steiger, orlds &efore ur wn "As descri$ed in the te(ts, the Ancient of Days is a complicated physical structure. structur e. Some people thin# that it may ha)e $een an intricately%car)ed idol, captured from a non%*ewish people, which was #ept secret $ecause the *ews did not allow idol worship+ others dismiss the whole thing as a fanciful in)ention." % George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, he anna achine "he minute details of this procedure caused the two scientists to 'loo# closely at the te(ts, uncluttered $y peripheral )er$iage, and to decide that there was a high pro$a$ility that they descri$e not a god $ut a machine in anthropomorphic terms.'" % &rad Steiger, orlds &efore ur wn "I $eheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of is head was li#e pure wool- his throne was li#e the ery /ame, and his wheels as $urning re. A ery stream issued and came forth from him...and $ehold, one li#e the son of man came with the clouds of hea)en, and came to the Ancient of Days." % Daniel, 0-12 "&ut what are these wheels3 he word used in the Aramaic te(t of Daniel is G4G456I 7galgalohi8 % his wheels. 6owe)er, in the Zohar, 'his s#ulls' is G54G456I 7golgalohi8, and it sometimes appears without the rst '5', ma#ing it identical with the 'wheels' of Daniel. It seems fairly li#ely, then, that Daniel is ta#ing a$out s#ulls not wheels+ and in descri$ing his ')ision', he is hinting to those in the #now that he possesses the secret #nowledge." "In Aramaic, the title 9Ancient of Days: is atti# yomin 7hI; I5I<8, and in 6e$rew atti# yomim 7hI; II8. he rst word comes from the word atta# 7h;8, to remo)e or transport+ it is used se)eral times in the &i$le, mostly with that meaning. he form atti# would then mean 'transportin 'transporting' g' or possi$ly
' that which is transported'. transported'."" "he second word in the title is I5I< or II, supposed to mean '7of the8 days'. am ra) was also the 'great sea' of $ron?e which stood in front of Solomon's emple 7@ hronicles B-@28. his was a large large )essel lled with water water and used for purication purication rituals. It It appears, therefore, that the word 'sea' in 6e$rew can also mean 'a large )essel for containing li!uids', or in modern terms, a tan#." % George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, he anna achine "he Ancient of Days consisted principally of three 's#ulls', an outer one which contained two others inside it, placed one a$o)e the other. In the middle of this arrangement was the 'cardinal lamp', which shone with 'a $rightness to e(ceed all $rightnesses'. $rightnesses'. It has a '$eard', the 'hairs' of which grow out of one part of its 'face' and $ac# in again at other places+ there is no mention of a $ody, $ut there is a 'strong right arm', there are si( feet+ and in $etween them there are two testicles, and a penis. A su$stance #nown )ariously as the 'dew', the 'oil of great goodness' and other terms, ran down from the upper parts of this o$Cect, to $e stored in the 'testicles' and nally discharged dischar ged from the 'penis'." % George Sassoon, "he Ancient of Days- Deity or anna%achine" "According to the traditions, the Ancient ne had $ut a single eye, right in the middle of his head, which shone with a $linding $rightness, while the Small% faced ne had three eyes, of di2erent colors, colors, which did not shine with their own light. here was no easy way in which the ra$$is could reconcile these descriptions with a god%$eing of reasona$ly human appearance, and so the te(ts are full of e(traordinary arguments." % George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, he anna achine "his $rain is hollowed out, and 7the eye8 lights up three whitenesses whitenesses a$o)e the eye." % 4esser 6oly Assem$ly E "he upper eye is also #nown as the Fye of ro)id ro)idence, ence, and under this name it is fre!uently mentioned in asonic rituals." % George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, he anna achine

"=rom the top of the s#ull it starts and is e(tended into the whole of the $ody, from its $reast and from its arms, and from the whole. o his $uttoc#s is attached the spar# of the cardinal lamp, and it lights up. And a s#ull goes out which is concealed from all sides. And the shiner descends from the two $rains hollowed out in it 9the s#ull:. And it 9the shiner: is attached in the direction of the male part..." % 6ADRA Z5A ;DIShA 74esser 6oly Assem$ly8 0K1 "At the top is a dew%still- a refrigerated, corrugated corrugated surface o)er which air is drawn, from which water condenses. his is fed to a container in the center of which is a powerful light%source for irradiating a culture, possi$ly of hlorella% type algae. here are do?ens of strains of hlorella, and the $alance of protein, car$ohydrate, and fat in a chosen strain can $e )aried $y choosing the appropriate conditions of growth for the culture. "his algal culture circulates through pipes which permit an e(change of o(ygen and car$on dio(ide with the atmosphere, and also dissipate heat. he hlorella sludge is drawn o2 into another )essel where it is treated so that the starch is partially hydroly?ed to maltose, which is then $urnt slightly to gi)e the honey%and%wafers /a)or....he dried material is then fed to two )essels. ne is emptied daily to pro)ide the day's supply, and the other lls slowly during the wee# so that two days' supply is a)aila$le on the e)e of the Sa$$ath...." % George Sassoon and Rodney Dale,

And it goes out into the tu$es of the nose. And the nose is shortened and $ecomes hot, and re and smo#e go out form those tu$es, and all the strengths are e(cited, and it ma#es re)enges. &ut $efore the re and smo#e go out form those tu$es, that )oice goes upwards, and in/uences the top of the $rain, and the two tears /ow down for the eyes. And the smo#e and the re go out from the perforations 7of the nose8, $y 7the action of8 that )oice..." % Greater 6oly Assem$ly 0E "F)ery se)en days 9on the Sa$$ath: , the machine was carefully ta#en apart and cleaned, with all the parts lo)ingly protected from dust and dirt. he, e)en more carefully, it was reassem$led, culminating in the nal plugging together of the two maCor components, a se(ual act in itself. It was then switched on, and the )arious processes would start in order. =irst, the dew would run down from the $rain, then the 'great sea' would ll, with the 'oil of great goodness' running through the '$eard'. hen the 'tears' would run down from the 'eyes', adding seed and fertili?er, and nally the 'eye of pro)idence' would light up with a $linding $rightness. here would then follow a long period of waiting, during which the plants multiplied and were drawn o2 and processed,, $efore the testicles started to ll. At long last, after many hours of processed an(ious preparation, the manna would /ow. Small wonder that the whole process was seen as some #ind of cosmic copulation." % George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, he anna achine "And oses spea#s these words 9I656, I656: in the place of Cudgment, that he may ma#e measure of mercies go down from the Ancient 6oly ne to the Small%faced ne. =or they teach that so great was the power of oses, that he made the measure of mercies to go down to the lower part." % Greater 6oly Assem$ly E1E "..oses entered the 6oly of 6olies, said the

And then the Ancient ne of All fed them from this place. &ut afterwards, it was not found." % % 6ADRA Z5A ;DIShA 74esser 6oly Assem$ly8 BBK "ho shall gi)e us /esh to eat3 e remem$er the sh, which we did eat in Fgypt freely+ the cucum$ers and the melons, and the lee#s, and the onions, and the garlic- $ut now our soul is dried away- and there is noting at all $eside this mana $efore our eyes...and the people went a$out, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or $eat it in a mortar, and $a#ed it in pans, and ma#e ca#es of it- and the taste thereof was as the taste of fresh oil." % om Jippur ritual of the fruitless attempts to re$oot the manna%machine, with the 6igh riest pouring oil all o)er himself." % George Sassoon 7pri)ate correspondence8 salm was read 'Fcce !uam $onum et !uam Cucundum' during the ritual of admission into the Jnights emplar, an order which supposedly sought the lost Ar# of the o)enant. "And oses said unto Aaron, ta#e a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up $efore the 4ord, to $e #ept for our generations...So Aaron laid it up $efore the 9Ar# of: estimony, to $e #ept."
% F(odus E- "After its nal failure, the manna%machine was ta#en to a shrine at Shiloh, where it no longer occupied a central position in the life of Israel. 6owe)er, a dedicated $and of priests continued to tend it....hey could de)ote their time to the study of the machine+ they pro$a$ly still recei)ed enough sacricial sacricial o2erings to li)e in reasona$le style. hey were the founders of the society #nown as the Reapers of the 6oly =ield, and the original 4ords of easurements of the Zohar." % George Sassoon and Rodney Dale, he anna achine "9he nose: and also all the parts of the Ancient of Days are seen, and they are not seen+ they are seen $y the 4ords of easurements, $ut they are not seen $y anyone else." % Greater 6oly Assem$ly @KM 7B8 he Short =ace 7icroprosopus8 "he ear 9of the Small%faced ne: is formed inside with 'cur)ed incisions', so that the ')oice 7#ola8 may $e traced as it goes up into the $rain'.

One possible purpose of an index is i s to arouse interest in the text of the book itself. Certainly, Certainly, some of the entries in the index to The manna machine by George Sassoon and Rodney ale !Sidg"ick # $ackson, %&'() are as intriguing !not to say *mouth+"atering*) *mouth+"atering*) as the title itself and arouse curiosity as to "hat unusual informa tion they may be directing us to. There is, for example, the freuent use of the *euals* sign, apparently dra"ing attention to a number of synonymous terms. !This, presumably, presumably, is "hat the introductory note means by the rather cryptic statement that *many of the identities gi-en in the text are collated in this index*.) *ea-en / sky* seems straightfor"ard enough0 but the signi1cance of many of the others lies "ell beyond my po"ers of surmise. 2hat can be the signi1cance of *3ncient / transportable* or *3nger / nose*4or, still more intriguing, *5eauty / se"ertogether* 6an unfortunate ambiguity here, at the -ery least7, or *ays of old / %8th part of beard*9 There is e-en an occasional triple euation, such as: *igh priest, breastplate of / radio / The Oracle;. 3nd "ith *lectrolux principle* seems to introduce a more sordidly commercial touch and arouses a suspicion that this index may ha-e been sponsored. !?o" that*s a thought. Shouldn*t "e be exploring the possibility of commercially sponsored book indexes9 2ill the >ditor o@er a priAe for the best suggestion of an appropriate sponsor for this year*s "inner of the 2heatley Medal9 Or "ould that turn indexing into more of a sport than an art+form9 5ut B digress.) Bt is clear enough from the index that the book has a biAarre theme and is concerned "ith the abbalah
and =reemasonry and suchlike matters. To that extent the indexer fails completely in my case to make me "ant to read the book0 but then, B*m the kind of person "ho is uite imper-ious to e-en a modicum of the esoteric. Bt is arguable that the authors seem to be uite out of touch "ith the real "orld as most of us encounter it. 5ut there is one entry at least "hich suggests other"ise. Bndeed, ha-ing bridged the ya"ning gap bet"een the >xodus and the "orld of telecommunications, the indexer seems to issue a solemn "arning, applicable especially to the computer enthusiasts among us: Moses... communicates by radio DDE punishes machine "orshippers DEE 5ack to your shoeboxes, sla-es of the midnight oil, before di-ine retribution befalls you in the form of a plague of -iruses.
