What does the Ninth Symphony tell us according to Kabbalah?
Answer from the V.M. Samael Aun Weor.
The Ninth Sphere is definitive for the aspirant to Realization. It is impossible to achieve intimate Self-realization without having incarnated the Soul. No one can incarnate the Soul without having engendered the Christ Astral, the Christ Mind, and the Christ Will. The current internal vehicles of man mentioned by Theosophy are only simple mental forms that every man must dissolve when attempting to achieve intimate Self-realization.
We need to be born, and being born is, has been, and will be a sexual problem. It is necessary to be born, and for that, one must descend to the Ninth Sphere. That is the ultimate test for the supreme dignity of the Hierophant. That is the most difficult test. It is very rare to find someone who can pass that difficult test. As a rule, everyone fails in the Ninth Sphere.
It is necessary for spouses to love each other deeply. People confuse desire with Love. Everyone sings to desire, and they confuse it with what is called Love. Only those who have incarnated their Soul know what Love is. The self doesn't know what Love is. The self is desire.
Everyone who incarnates their Soul is therefore a Buddha. Every Buddha must work in the Ninth Sphere to incarnate the Inner Christ. In the Ninth Sphere, the Buddha is born. In the Ninth Sphere, the Christ is born. We must first be born as Buddhas and then as Christs.
Blessed be Love. Blessed are those who truly love each other. Blessed are those who emerge victorious from the Ninth Sphere.

Answer from the magazine "The The wisdom of the Being.".
The fact that it is precisely the Ninth Symphony according to Kabbalah gives it a teaching that we must not fail to ignore; Nine represents generation, genius, generosity, initiation, or the path to wisdom, the work of transmuting creative energies.
"Freude" is German for joy, however, it is also pleasure or joy; interpreted by the distinguished Spanish writer Don Mario Roso de Luna as "voluptuousness," which fits perfectly with Kabbalistic symbolism.
Furthermore, in the sublime ode, he says that "Freude" (joy or voluptuousness) is the daughter of Elysium (the Elysian fields), the fourth dimension or Eden, whose meaning is surprisingly the same ("Eden" = "delight" or "pleasure").
Then the entire text makes sense, what has been described becomes clear, since all the words, even the number of the symphony, fit together.
As if a blindfold had been removed from our eyes, we now understand why Don Mario Roso translates the first part for us like this:
"Oh voluptuousness, the most beautiful divine radiance, daughter of Elysium." "Drunken with emotion, we dare to enter your sanctuary singing: - Your magical effluvium ties the holy bonds that social intercourse, merciless and cruel, would dare to break one day..."
And we have a double message, without one contradicting the other: that of universal brotherhood, love for humanity, trying to feel and think what our neighbor thinks and feels, feeling the sorrows, problems, and needs of others as our own and doing something to remedy them.
On the other hand, it is the discovery that in the charms of the mysteries of love lies the best way to unite with divinity, that in the wise blending of feminine and masculine magnetism lies the key to all power.
