The
Tree of Life of the Kabalahists is an ancient diagram of how creation
manifested out of divine light. The diagram is of 10 spheres with 22
paths connecting them. The divine light hits the crown or the top of
the tree and is projected through its lens like a prism. Once the
light passes through the prism its opposite is reflected. The top
three spheres make a triangle of archetypes that is reflected in the
next three spheres and the triangle it makes. As the light travels
down the tree through the next triangles comprised of spheres it
becomes slower and denser creating the matter of our world at the
bottom.
You
can think of it as a giant teapot. There is an unimaginable heat that
excites the water to turn it to a gaseous state. With that heat
creates unbounded energy that is bouncing everywhere without a
direction or purpose. In this case, the prism or the collective
apparatus is the spout. The spout concentrates that energy and
directs it. Now imagine if you were distilling that water, the hose
attached to the spout would collect that steam. Then if you cool the
steam by running that hose through ice, the steam would slow and cool
and return to its natural state as water. Then the water can become
the source of life and making the various parts of creation. This is
what happens as light travels through the Tree of life.
Another
way to understand this ancient root diagram is this way. There are
three columns to the Tree. The left and right pillars are also
known by their Hebrew names Boaz and Jachin (both of which originally
stood in King Solomon’s Temple, the First Temple in
Jerusalem.) The center pillar (which includes Kether, Tiphareth,
Yesod, and Malkuth) is the “Pillar of Mildness.” We are
going to focus on the middle pillar or column, since the other two
only describe it. The middle pillar is the process of creation or the
bus. When you travel on a bus, you do not need to concern yourself
with the laws of thermal dynamics, how the internal combustion works,
the health of the driver, the stock value of the company, and such;
if it works you are only aware that you arrived at your destination.
So
now to the 4 parts of the tree of life you need to know. We are going
to continue on with the bus analogy.
- First, you have an idea to travel.
- Second, you buy your ticket.
- Third, you go to the station and travel on the bus.
- Fourth you arrive and leave your review on Google.
Everything
else and its complications can be broken down into these least
common denominators. In fact, everything in this world and the next
can be broken down and moved back up again through them. If you
understand how to be the best mechanic, you can be the best doctor.
Ponder this: both a car and a person has a place where fuel enters; a
mouth and gas cap. That fuel follows a tube; fuel pipe and your
throat. From there it enters a storage unit; stomach and gas tank.
Then it follows smaller tubes; fuel lines and veins. It enters a
combustion unit; your heart and a carburetor (yes I am dating
myself). Then there is a spark and all sorts of miraculous movements
happen. It is a simple diagram, the Tree of Life, that can manifest
into anything and everything once you understand it. In fact, all
software starts as a diagram or flow chart.
To
explain this on a mystical point of view of how we got here and our
jobs in the role of creation is this.
The
top of the central column represents god or a mainframe. All that
light that is beyond comprehension enters a central hard drive. Some
people call this God and he has this idea. He sends a task out to be
comprehended and developed. The Archangels become the architects who
make a blueprint. They pass their plans on to the angels who are the
factory worker who creates the idea into reality. They make the
product from the plans of the idea of the guy who pays for their
checks. Then we are the consumers who use the product and we get to
praise the guy who had the idea or leave a bad review on Google for
him.
This
is a point we loose in America. If through the powers of creation
from the beginning we are given the equal power to God or the man who
had the dream of reality, why do we lower ourselves below those who
run the companies that had the idea for the products we purchase or
the people we elect to make the ideas in our government. If more
people realize they are god, and that everyone is equal since they
are god too, we might bring those who have not seen the light and
lost that feeling of love and connectedness back into the fold and
they will not be separate or higher in position and not feel lower
anymore. There are far more people in this world who are unified that
buy the products or elect the kings than the CEO or the leaders of
this world. In this multitude, there must be someone who can reach
them and bring them back to the family. To let them continue on their
own is a drain on the whole. They are trying to create a new world
from taxed resources.
Taxed
resources? Do you keep going back to the gas pump alone? No, you need
to go back to the well. Well, if they are that desperate to create
their own world, we might be able to find a way to send them back to
the source of that unimaginable light so they can start out once
again from the void to make their own universe. As modern quantum
scientists explain, our universe is just one badminton birdie amongst
infinite others that take up very little space in the source of it
all. The gnostics mention Sophia who did just this to create our own
world when she fell from her place of origin and her son who did not
know her created desire and fear. He feared if he existed something
else might, then when nobody said hi or killed him he desired others
to play with and our world was created. Then when he made something
great, his mom only showed up to take the credit. In fact, maybe I
should go back to the source and find another badminton birdie to
play with...
