being. Its
intelligence is the Admirable or hidden
intelligence. It is called this because it is
the life giving principal which hath no
beginning. The Hebrew name given to it is Kether
- in Hebrew it is spelt KAPH TAV RESH lettered
right to left and has a value of 620 KAPH 20 TAV
400 and RESH 200. Kether in Hebrew means crown
in Hebrew. The reason it is called the crown is
it is above the head and glorifies the head upon
which it sits e.g. on the physical plane it
glorifies a king or queen – in this sense it is
the crowning glory of tree of life. The arch
angel attributed to Kether is METATRON and the
god name is EHEIEH the spiritual virtue is
attainment and the spiritual experience is Union
with GOD. Once this experience has been
accomplished in its entirety you walk with God –
you have given yourself so completely you become
one with God and you don’t return to the
physical plane.
Each
of the sephiroth have similar correspondences as
they are all emanations of the Godhead in
varying degrees of intensity (density) but
remember we are still talking about
consciousness.
The
essence of each path is to be found in
the fact that it connects two sephiroth and we
can only understand its significance by taking
into account the linked spheres. But a sephera
cannot be understood completely on a single
plane because it has a four-fold nature. So
kabalah expresses this by saying that there are
four worlds:- the first being Atziluth or the
archetypal world.
The
Second is Briah or the world of Creation
The
Third is Yetzirah or the world of Foundation
And
the fourth is Assiah or the world of Action.
Also
in addition these 4 Worlds have an element
assigned to them. Atziluth has AIR, BRIAH has
Fire, YETZIRAH has WATER AND EARTH as to ASSIAH
And
again the middle pillar on the tree of life is
also that of Air the right hand pillar that of
fire and the left hand pillar that of water.
The
two pillars on the outside of the tree represent
all opposites like the pillars Jachin and Boaz.
The middle pillar is that of AIR the balancing
element or principle between them.
Fratres you can see that it is very complex, but
it is very beneficial to anyone who takes the
time worth it because of the light and
understandings you receive through your
meditations.
But
always remember that this a mental exercise to
develop personal consciousness through
meditation.
You go to a Gym to develop a perfect
body the way you want it, through mediation on
the tree and its symbols you build and develop
your mental muscles and abilities so that they
are reflected through you in a better life. As
the positive patterns of the tree of life become
more strongly imbedded into sub-consciousness
they replace the old patterns so making for
clearer thinking and more positivity in actions.
