For Final Fantasy VII, see Final Fantasy. səp̄ îrôṯ), which means emanations, are 10 attributes/emanations in through which (Infinite) reveals Himself and constantly creates both the physical kingdom and the chain of the higher metaphysical worlds (Seder hisht). The term is alternatively ְס ִפירוֹת :Sephiroth in the category Kabbalah: Sephiroth vte (/sfɪˈroʊt, ˈsfɪroʊt/; Hebrew transliterated into English as sepir/sefirat, singular sephyr/sepir, etc. Alternative sepiro configurations are given by different schools in the historical development of Kabbalah, each of which formulates different spiritual aspects. The tradition of listing 10 is spelled out in Sefer Etzir: Ten sepiros of his kind, ten, not nine, ten, not eleven. As in general eleven sephiroths are listed through different schemes, the two ( and Da'as) are seen as unconscious and conscious manifestation of the same principle, retaining ten categories. Sephiroth is described as the channels of divine creative vitality or consciousness through which an incomprehensible Divine essence is revealed to mankind. The first sepira, Keter, describes the Divine Superconscious Will, which goes beyond conscious intelligence. The following three sephiroths (Chohma, Bina, and Daat) describe three levels of conscious Divine Intelligence. Seven subsequent sephiroth (, Gevura, Tifferet, Netsach, , and describe primary and secondary conscious Divine Emotions. Two sephiroths Shekhina). Kabbalah sees the human in the mirror image of the Divine (after Genesis 1:27, created , ְ ׁש ִכי ָנה :Bina and Malkut) are feminine, as the female principle in Kabbalah describes a vessel that receives external male light, then internally nourishes and gives birth to the lower sefirot. This corresponds to the female Divine Presence (Hebrew) man in his image and likeness, in the image and likeness of God He created him, man and woman, He created them), and more broadly, all creations as a reflection of their source of life in sephiroth. Therefore, Sephiroth also describes the spiritual life of man and is a conceptual paradigm in Kabbalah for understanding everything. This connection between the soul of man and the Divine, gives Kabbalah one of the two central metaphors in the description of Divinity, along with the other metaphor of Ohra (light). However, Kabbalah has repeatedly stressed the need to avoid all bodily interpretations. Due to this sephiroth are connected to the structure of the body and reformatted into (persona). At the heart of the structural purpose of each sefira is a hidden motivational force, which is best understood compared to the corresponding psychological state in the human spiritual experience. In Said's philosophy, which sought to internalize the experience of Jewish into daily inspiration (), this inner life of Sephiroth is explored, and the role they play in the service of God's man in this world. Ein Sof The Ein Sof (lighted: unspoiled) is an important concept in the Jewish Kabbalah. Generally translated as infinity and infinite, Ein-Sof is a shapeless state of the universe to the self-realization of God. In other words, Ein-Sof is God before He decided to become God as we now know Him. Sephiroth is a divine emanation emanating from Ein Sofa in a way often referred to as flames. Sephiroth comes from top to bottom. Since the first Sepira is closest to Ein Sofa, it is the least understood human mind, while the latter, in turn, is best understood because it is closest to the material world on which humanity resides.

The original reference to Sephiroth is contained in Sefer Etzira's ancient Kabbalistic text, The Book of Formation, attributed .(ספרא, סופר - and sofer, or safra (writer ,(ספר - brilliance, luminary), sfar (border ,ספיר - sappir (sapphire ,(סיפור - sippur (recount of history ,(ספר - root, including: sefer (text to the first Jewish Patriarch Abraham. However, the names of the sephiroth, listed in the later Kabbalah, are not specified there. Further links to Sephiroth, now with their later names, is detailed in the medieval Kabbalistic text of zoar, which is one of the main texts of Kabbalah. Sephiroth is the ten emanations, or illuminations of the Infinite Light of God, rɔṣon), sephiroth should be understood not as ten different , but as ten different channels through which one God reveals his will. In later Jewish literature, ten sefirotes refer to either ten manifestations of God; Ten forces or abilities of the soul; or ten structural forces of nature. In רצון) manifested in Creation. As the revelations of the Creator's Will Cordoveran Kabbalah, the forces of creation are seen as autonomous forces that develop independently of each other. On the contrary, in Luran or Lurian Kabbalah (Kabbalah Isaac Luria) sefirote is perceived as a constellation of forces in active dialogue with each other at every stage of this evolution. Luria described Sephiroth as a complex and dynamically interacting entity known as partzufim, each with its own symbolically human persona. Kether, The Crown, is the first sepira. It is a super-conscious mediator between God and another, conscious sephiroth. Keter has three different levels, or heads. In some contexts, Keter's highest level is called the Incomprehensible Head, the second level is called the head of the nedroohi (reisha d'Ayin), and the third is the long head (reisha d'Aric). These three heads correspond to the super-conscious levels of faith, pleasure and will in the soul. In the early 12th century, Kabbalah received criticism from some Rabbis of Jewish Philosophy for the alleged introduction of diversity into Jewish monotheism. The seeming set of One God is the result of the spiritual evolution of God's light, which has introduced many emanations from one infinite divine entity. This was necessary because of humanity's inability to exist in the infinite presence of God. God does not change; rather, it is our ability to perceive His emanations that have changed. This is emphasized in Kabbalah to avoid the eotic notions of any pluralism in Godhead. One parable in explaining this is the difference between Ma'Ohr (Luminer-Divine Essence) and Ohr (Light), which comes down like the difference between one body of the sun and the multiple rays of sunlight that illuminate the room. The names of sephiroth in Kabbalah, there is a direct correspondence between the Jewish name of any spiritual or physical phenomenon and its manifestations in the world. The Jewish name represents the unique essence of the object. This reflects the belief that the universe is created through the metaphorical speech of God, as stated in the first chapter of Genesis. Kabbalah lays out the names Sephiroth and their nuances, including their hematria (numerical values), in order to reach an understanding of these emanations of God's essence. In the 16th century the rational synthesis of Moses bin Cordovero (Cordoveran Kabbalah), the first complete systematization of Kabbalah, Sephiroth is listed from the highest to the lowest: Category: Sefira: Super-conscious 1 Keter - Corona Conscious Intelligence 2 Chochma - Wisdom 3 Bin - Understanding Conscious Emotions 4 Chesed - Kindness 5 Gevura - Discipline 6 - Beauty (Secondary Emotions:) 7 - Victory 8 Hod - Splendour 9 Yesod - Foundation (Ship to bring action:) 10 Malkut - King In the subsequent transcendental Kabbalistic scheme of the 16th century Isaac Luria, sephiroth is usually listed, omitting Kether and including Daat (a conscious manifestation of the superconscious Keter. or ohr Ein Sof (Infinite Light) itself. Luria includes Keter in the list only in relation to the inner light of sephiroth. Hmma- Wisdom Conscious Emotions (Primary Emotions) 5 Gevura - Discipline 6 Tiferet - Beauty 4 Chesed - Kindness (Secondary Emotions) 8 Hod- Glory 9 Yesod - Foundation 10 Malkut - King 7 Netzach - Victory Description of Names of Sephiroth that appeared after As Arie Kaplan explains in his translation and comments to Sefer Yetzirah, Although Sefer Yetzirah does not name ten sepiroths, their names are well known from the classic Kabbalah. ... Sephiroth's names come from the scriptures. Kaplan's Classic Kabbalah refers primarily to the encapsulated in zoar and later works derived from it. According to these sources, Sephiroth is often given different names, but mostly used terms: Keter - Crown: Divine will to create/Infinite Creator Light/Jewish God Name Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh-I What I - Wisdom: First unbounded idea flash before it takes on limitations/male light/Divine reality/first-revelation/creation brought into the vessel of understanding to give it an understanding of the breadth and depth/female vessel that gives birth to emotion/mind/understanding, brings the teshuwa a return to God Daat - Knowledge: The Central State of Unity 10 Sephiroth, also called the Tree of Life.

In a kabbalistic interpretation, seven emotional sephiroths similarly include the shape of 49 (seven times seven) emotional states. So, for example, Chesed contains Chesed's Chesed (loving kindness in loving kindness), Gevura's Chesed (may in loving kindness), etc., while Malcut is in Chesed (the kingdom in loving kindness). Similarly, there is Chesed in Gevurah (loving kindness inside can, a typical restriction carried out out of love as the father punishes the child)), Gevura in Gevurah (may be within the can), etc., while Malcut in Gevurah (the kingdom within the can) and so on, up to the 49th which means limitation), which is an unrecognized level of psyche that we must escape through ,מצרים level, Malkut in Malkut (kingdom within the kingdom). This is a Kabbalistic interpretation of the (Jewish observance) of the counting of omers between the easterly and holidays. Easter marks the Exodus from Egypt (in Hebrew, Mitzrayim our daily spiritual development. Shavuot celebrates the reception of the Torah on Mount Sinai. During this 49-day period, Kabbalah teaches that the focus is on the 49 interconnected sephiroth aspect, which is linked to each particular day of Omer. Every day of the omer, a person sees each of his spiritual qualities as a process of correcting Teshuwa (Return to God) as a preparation for the re-acceptance of the Torah on Shavuot.

Their origins originate from the medieval Kabbalah and the city. In the later, 16th century Lurian Kabbalah, they systemized as two successive stages in the evolution of sephiroth, during the primordial cosmic evolution of Creation. This evolution is central to the metaphysical process of tikkun (fixation) in the doctrines of Isaac Luria. Iggulim-Circles This section does not refer to any sources.

(September 2015) (Learn how and when to delete this pattern message) Metaphorical representation of the Five Worlds, with 10 sephiroths radiating in each as consistently smaller Iggulim concentric circles One schematic representation depicts sephiroth metaphorically as consistently less concentric circles radiating inward from the surrounding Divine Omnience. The four worlds of (Chain of Progression), or with the addition of the Higher Fifth World ( Cadmon), can be depicted in this chart, starting from the highest and moving to the center of the circle to our lowest, physical sphere. In each world, 10 sefilots are emitted, as 10 consecutive steps in the downward flow chain to the next, lower kingdom. This image shows the consistent nature of each of the 10 sephiroths as a downward chain, each of which is more distant from the Divine consciousness. The surrounding space on the diagram is Infinite Divine Reality (Ein Sof). The most outward circle in the teachings of the Lurian Kabbalah is the space made by Tsimzum, in which Creation unfolds. Each subsequent World gradually moves away from the Divine revelation, metaphorically smaller, narrower circle. Emanation in each World comes from 10 Sephiroths, with the last sefir (Malhut-Actualization of the Divine Plan) of one World becoming and sharing as the first sefier (Keter-Divine Will) of the next, lower kingdom. The vertical line to the center of the circle represents the path of downward emanation and narrowing, from the original first Ohr (light) Kav (Ray) in the Lurianic doctrine. Yosher-Upright Configuration Yosher-Upright 10 sefirot, arranged in three columns The most important and well known scheme depicting the sefirot arango organizes them as a tree with three columns. The right column represents the spiritual power of expansion. The left presents its opposite, the limitation. The middle column is the balance and synthesis between these opposite trends. The connecting lines on the diagram show the specific connections of the spiritual flow between sephiroth, 22 Connecting Ways, and correspond to the spiritual channels of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Kabbalah sees Jewish letters as channels of spiritual vitality. This comes from an account in the Genesis of the Creation of the World, where Creation takes place through 10 Jewish Speaks of God (Let it be..). In the theology, these letters remain inherent spiritual forces that constantly recreate all existence. The paths are divided into 3 categories, shown in this diagram by different colors corresponding to 3 types of letters. Ish-Man Alternative image of sephiroth in the form of a man. The first sepir represents the head, the next three represent the brain cavities, the fourth and fifth sephiroths represent the hands, the sixth sepir - the torso, the seventh and eighth - the legs, the ninth - the sexual organ, and the tenth - the all-swirling aggregate of this image. This man is also divided into two parts, with the right column consists of a male sephiroth and on the left, a female sephiroth. The metaphor man in Kabbalah's main article: Anthropomorphism in Kabbalah Kabbalah attributes Sephirota and indwelling Shechinah's presence to the female-male Divine principles represented in the union of Jewish marriage Below. In the medieval Kabbalah the task of the people Yichud-Union of female and male Divinity on the high citation is essential. In the Lurian Kabbalah, people atoned for the exiled Sparks of Shechin's Holiness from the material of Kelipot Kabbalah, the central system of Jewish mysticism, using subtle anthropomorphic analogies and metaphors to describe God in Judaism, both the relationship between God and the world and the inner nature of the Divine. These include the metaphor of the relationship between the body and soul, the function of the human forces of the soul, the configuration of the human bodily form and the female-male influence in the Divine. Kabbalahists have repeatedly warned and stressed the need to divorce their notions from any physicality, dualism, pluralism or spatial and temporal connotations. Because The Torah speaks the language of man, empirical terms are necessarily imposed on human experience in this world. Once the analogy is described, its limitations are then related to, stripping the nucleus of its husks to come to a more true concept. However, the Kabbalists carefully chose their terminology to indicate subtle connotations and deep relationships in the Divine spiritual influence. More precisely, when they see the emanation of the Material World from the Spiritual Worlds, similar anthropomorphisms and material metaphors themselves derive from cause and effect from their precise root analogies on the High. The description of the material world below in general, and people in particular as created in the image of the world above, is not limited to the rabbinical Judaism of Kabbalah, but abounds more widely in biblical, midrashist, Talmudic and philosophical literature. Kabbalah more radically expands the man- metaphor to anthropomorphize specific Divine manifestations at a high level, constantly emphasizing the need to remove analogies from impure materialistic physicality. Classical evidence texts on which it bases its approach are included, from my flesh I envision God, rabbinical analogy How the soul permeates the whole body... sees, but not seen ... Supports the whole body... Clean... stays in the most internal areas ... is unique in the body ... doesn't eat or drink... no one knows where his place is... So Holy, Blessed - It Is He... Along with the metaphor of Light, the Metaphor Man is central to Kabbalah. However, it too has its limitations, needs qualifications, and breaks down if taken as a literal, bodily comparison. Its limitations include the influence of the body on the soul, while the World does not influence changes in God; and the various, separate origins of the soul and body, while in relation to the ubiquity of God, especially in its acosmic gasidic development, all Creation is zeroed into its source.

This metaphor of divine interrelations on the High is arranged in the schematic relations of the human soul, because only in the whole Creation Adam-Man is called to encapsulate all harmonized forces, while animals and embody only special instinctive discs. The significance of this, as well as the full significance of the reconfiguration of Partsufim Sefiroth, arises only in the 16th century of the Lurian Kabbalah, where the io-street-vertical location, Partsufim and the of Israel represent the secondary world of Tikun-Rectification, while angels, animals and root vegetables above the peoples of the world embody the primordial world. Lurian Kabbalah uses the verse: God created man in his own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him, man and woman, He created them to this reconfigured arrangement of Tikun-Iosher. In Iosher's scheme, divine principles are described through the spiritual abilities of Man, with Bina-Understanding and Malkut-Kingship-Shechina-Indwelling Divine Presence, encapsulating the Divine Feminine in Creation, the principle of receiving, nurturing and pregnant internalization. In medieval Kabbalah the task of men is Ichud-Union on a high of female and male principles Healing the apparent separation and concealment of Shechin's woman indwelling the divine presence that sustains this world from the Holy Blessed Being He, the transcendent divine on the High. The separation and interruption of the Chef-Flow of Divine Life power into this World is caused by human sin. Unification and revelation opened up with human benevolence, so that in Kabbalah man encapsulates the entire spiritual cosmos and supports heaven. The 16th century Sefad Kabbalistic Renaissance ennacted prayers before performing Mitzvot Jewish rites uniting Tiferet-Beauty, the central principle in male emotions () with Malkut-Kingship, female Shekhina: For the Sake of the Union of the Saint, Blessed Being He, and His Shechinah; combine the name Yud and Hei, with Vav and Hei is depicted by a point with a step at the head. The point character of the yuda corresponds to the chochma sephir, which is likened to the original spark, or the point of potential through (י) in the name of all Israel. Sephiroth and Four Jewish letters of God's divine name (known as Tetragrammaton) correspond to ten sephiroths. The letter yud of tetragrammaton is an extension of the yud point into all three spatial dimensions. This corresponds to Bean's sephire, which expands and develops the seminal point of wisdom (chohmu) into (ה) which new understanding enters reality. Cusp, or yud tip reaches up and hints to the super-conscious root of chochmah, which resides in Keter. The first letter hei (י) Keter yud (קוצו של י) tetragrammaton is a sefira malhuta. On the cusp of yud (ה) resembles a vertical line that connects higher intellectual abilities with the emotional forces of the psyche. The hematria of the letter vav is 6, which corresponds to six emotional sephiroths from loving kindness to foundation. The final letter hei (ו) a detailed idea. The letter vav -Malchut Body Configuration Despite a particular geometric image of the Yosher scheme, through each faculty of the soul in the body, the physical human organs also reflect supernal Divine forces on the high, as the Yosher scheme emphasizes the inter (ה) six sepiroth: Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod hei (ו) vav (ה) Chochmah hei - Left BrainHart Daat בינה - Right BrainBrain Bean - Understanding חכמה - SkullEncompassing crownDa'at Chochmah - Wisdom כתר - relationship sephiroth as units or bodies.

It moved the beginning of the perceived exile in sefirot to The Original Creation, before the influence of man on supernal harmony, as in the medieval Kabbalah Isaac Luria reinterpreted and recast the entire Kabbalah scheme in the 16th century, essentially making the second of two different versions of Kabbalah: Medieval (originally, direct understanding of the , later synthesized mo. However he understood its new doctrine as nothing more than a new revelation-teaching of the true meaning of the zoar. The Lurian Kabbalists sought to integrate this with the Cordcovererian scheme, seeing both as true but describing various aspects of the Worlds) of the Divine Process. where higher levels descend to the lowest states as souls to spiritual bodies. The first emanation in Creation leads to the spiritual destruction of Divinity in the final catastrophe (Hevirat Hakeilim - Destruction of The Vessels) and the expulsion of its spark into the descending kingdoms created. Cordovero reconciled previous opinions about sephiroth, describing each as divine Ohroth (lights) embedded in 10 spiritual kaylims (vessels) adapted by Luria to his scheme. In Lurian Kabbalah, the first sephiroth vessels are destroyed due to the sublime intensity of light. Because everyone Sephiroth act as an independent force, Isaac Luria appropriating Iggulim (independent circles of sephiroth agreement) without cooperation, their immature vessels are weak. From the destruction of this primitive kingdom, the World of Tohu (Chaos), built the subsequent world of Tikun (Rectification), characterized by lower lights and stronger vessels. The elevated lights of Tohu go to Ein-Sof, while their sephyrote vessels destroy Creation. The sparks of the original high lights remain attached in exile to the downward fragments, and the Messiaic task is the redemption of all the holy sparks of Tohu. In the world of Tikun, on the other hand, sephiroth vessels are mature, strong and act together in harmony. Isaac Luria attributed to this reformed state the former Kabbalistic concepts of Yosher (the agreed vertical arrangement of sefirot) and numerous zohar passages, which spell out Partsufim (Divine Persons/Configurations) and special divine manifestations). This systematized the classical concept of Partsufim as secondary, evolved arrangements of sephiroth in Creation. Isaac Luria spoke about the transition from Tohu to Tikun to 1:1-3: In the beginning, God created Heaven and Earth, the original source of the potential from which everything will unfold. And the earth was Chaos (Tohu) and Void (Vohu), with darkness above the surface deep ... each sefir acts independently causing destruction (Hevirat HaKeilim)... And God said, let there be Light, the ability of the concerted Sephyrot Tikoun to reveal Divinity and accept stable Creation. The Lurian doctrine of the destruction of the emotional vessels of Sephynote describes the esoteric meaning of Genesis 36:31, and I Chronicle 1:43: These are the kings who reigned in the land of Edoma before there reigned any king over the children of Israel ... Edom is described in Genesis as descendants of Esau. In the Kabbalistic scheme this is identified with the unaccounted Gevura - the heaviness, the source of the ships of the tohu world - Chaos. The eight kings listed, who reigned in Edom before any king of Israel, embodied the eight Sephiroth Daat in Malchut in the world of Tohu, vessels that collapsed. Of each he says that they lived and died, death denoting the soul light of the sephiroth ascending to its source, while the body-vessel descends-destroys. The sacred remnants of the former light, like Nistot - Sparks of Holiness, supporting Creation by the Divine flow of the Will, are attached to the broken vessels. Sparks are the creative force of sephiroth down the four worlds. The unabsorbed remnants of broken vessels in our physical, lower world assy becomes the kingdom of The Impurities of Kelipot. Genesis 1:2, ... And the Spirit of God hovered over the waters. Merachepet - hovered divided by the number 288 died, the root of the divine number which are then teased to countless fragments. Partzufim - Reconfiro Four spheres of our created existence together called The World of Tikkuna (Fixation). In Tikkun, sefilot is transformed into new mechanisms where they can unite. Different spheres of Tikkun are characterized by lower lights and stronger vessels. After weaving 10 sephiroths inside each other, in Lurian Kabbalah they are then intertwined into partsufim (persons). Widespread discussion of partsufima is found in the medieval Kabbalah of zohara, before Isaac Luria. In the zoar, Shimon Bar, Johai describes the spiritual roles of Partoufim, referring to them as independent spiritual manifestations. Holy Ancient Days, or Long Visage, two of the various Parsufim, are not only alternative adjectives for God, but specific spiritual manifestations, levels and nature. Lurian Kabbalah focused on the role of Parsufim as a fully developed stage of the initial evolution of sephiroth, at the beginning of Creation. Instead of each of the 10 sephiroths simply incorporating a complete subset of 10 sephiroths as a hidden potential force, the first stage of their evolution in Parsufim sefirote become fully autonomous and interconnected. The name of each part means that the sepira from which it was derived has now become an independent scheme of 10 fully functioning sephiroths in the form of Upright (Yosher) Man. This reconfiguration is important in the Lurian Kabbalah to enable the opposing spiritual forces of Sephiroth to work together in harmony. Each Parsuf now works independently, and connects with the other Parsufim. So, for example, Long Makeup is said to go down, and become enclothed in the bottom Parsufim. The sefilot is currently harmonized to allow the Lurian Tikkun scheme (corrections) to begin.

How sephiroth is seen as composite as metaphorical and vessels, their structural role describes the special identity that each sepir possesses from its characteristic vessel. At the heart of this functional sephiroth structure, each of them has a hidden, inner spiritual motivation that inspires his activities. This forms a special characteristic of the inner light in each sepir. The understanding of sephiroth in all Jewish mystism is achieved by their correspondence with the human soul. This applies to the external, kabbalistic structure of the sephiroth. This applies even more to their internal dimensions, which correspond to the internal psychological qualities in human perception. Identifying the basic spiritual properties of the soul gives a better idea of their divine source, and in the process reveals the spiritual beauty of the soul. In Hasidic thought, these internal dimensions of sephiroth are called the Soul Forces (Hebrew: ). Gasidism sought to internalize the abstract ideas of Kabbalah, as outwardly in the joyful sincerity of dveikus in everyday life, acts of loving kindness and prayer; and internally in its deep new articulation of Jewish mystical thought, correlated it with the inner life of man. Kabbalah focuses on the esoteric manifestations of God in Creation, the vessels of divinity. Gasidu looks at the lights that fill these vessels, how structures reveal the divine essence, and how this inner can be perceived. This difference can be seen in the names of these two stages of Jewish mysticism. Kabbalah in Hebrew comes from bondage (to receive as a ship). Hasidut of chesed (loving kindness), is considered the first and greatest sepira, also called Greatness, a desire to reveal and share. The names of the sephiroth come from Kabbalah and describe the divine effect that everyone has on Creation, but not their inner qualities. Hasidic thought uses new descriptive terms for the inner dimensions of Sephiroth: Sepira: External Function in Divinity and Soul Inner Experience:Inner Divine Motivation and Response of the Human Soul Above conscious:Keter-Crown Essence Keter:Emunah - Faith (expresses the essence of the soul in infinite)Inner Keter:Taanug-unconscious source Of Pleasure (soul is rooted in delight)External Keter:Ratzon-unconscious transcendental Will (soul expresses through will) First revelation of intelligence :Chochmah-wisdom Bittul - Selflessness (Revelation inspires self-annulment) Grasped intelligence : Bina-Understanding Simchah - Joy (Understanding Awakens Joy) Assimilated Intelligence:Daat-Knowledge Yichud - Union (Union with the idea awakens emotions) - and the Divine in everything (Response of Divine Gift) Primary Emotion Restrictions:Gevura-Might/Severity Yirah - Fear of God (Mystic Thrill of Divinity) Primary Emotions of Balance:Tiferet-Beautiful Harmony (quote necessary) Rachamim - Mercy / Compassion (Balances of Kindness with Limitation) Secondary Emotions Hod-Splendour/Thanksgiving Temimut Equilibrium:Yesod-Foundation Emet - Truth (Trip to check communication in task) Emotional vessel for action:Malchut-Kingship Shiflut - Lowliness (Action through higher sephiroth lights) Four worlds these ten levels are associated with Cabola the bulk in terms of the downward chain of progression (Seder hishtalshelus) that links the Infinite Divine Ein. In all worlds, 10 sephiroths radiate and are the Divine channels through which each level is constantly created from nothing. Because they are attributes through which an incomprehensible, infinite Divine essence is revealed by creations, all ten come in each World. However, the structure of the four worlds arises because each of them is dominated by certain sepiros. Every world is spiritual, except for the lower aspect of the final world, which is Asiya Gasmi (Physical Asiya), the physical universe. Each world is gradually :Atzilut): In this level, the light of Ein-Soph radiates and is united with its source. Divine Chohma, a boundless flash of wisdom out of reach, prevails. The World of Creation (Hebrew , ֲא ִצילוּת :rougher and further removed from the consciousness of the Divine, until in this World one can not deny God. In descending order: The World of Emanation (Hebrew Yetzirah): At this level, creation is associated with form. The divine emotional Sephyrot of Cheseda pre-Yesod prevails. The World of , ְי ִצי ָרה :Bury'a): At this level, it is the first creation of ex nihilo, where souls and angels have self-awareness, but without form. Divine Bina, intellectual understanding, prevails. World Formation (Hebrew , ְ ּב ִר ָּיה ,or alternative ְ ּב ִריאָה Assia): At this level, creation is relegated to its physical aspect, the only physical kingdom and the lower world, this kingdom with all its beings. The divine kingdom of Malhuta prevails, the purpose of Creation. In zoar and elsewhere, there are these four worlds or planes of existence. In the Lurian Kabbalah system, five worlds are , ֲע ִ ׂש ָּיה :Action (Hebrew counted, including these and higher, fifth planes, Adam Cadmon-Godhead Manifesto that is the middleman between Ein-Sof and the four lower worlds. Because the four Worlds connect the Infinite with this kingdom, they also allow the soul to rise in devotion or mystical states, to the Divine. Each World can be understood as a descriptive dimensional level of premeditation associated with the natural human desire to receive and a method of moving the soul up to oneness with or returning to the Creator. (The terminology of this formulation is based on the 20th-century Lurian Kabbalah exposition of the Kabbalist of the 20th century, Yehuda Ashlag).

(March 2014) (Learn how and when to delete this template message) 10 sephiroths located in 3 columns, with 22 Ways of Connections of the Three Types Association 3 Sephiroth columns organized into three discrete columns or gimel kavim (three lines in Hebrew). They are often referred to as the three fathers, come from three mothers and are attributed to vowels (Vav, Yud and Heh). They are as follows: Kether's central column heads the central column of the tree, which is known metaphorically as the Pillar of Softness and is associated with the Hebrew letter Aleph, breath and air element. It is a neutral, balance between the two opposing forces of women's and male tendencies. Some teachings describe sephiroth on the central pillar as gender-neutral, while others say that sephiroths differ in their sexual attribution. The right column (kav yammin) of Chohma heads the right column of the tree, figuratively speaking, The Pillar of Mercy associated with the Jewish letter Shin, the fiery element and the masculine aspect; The left column (kav smol) Left column is headed by The Bina and is called the Pillar of Austerity. This is due to the Hebrew letter Mem, the water element and the feminine aspect. Although each of the pillars has a sexual attribution, this does not mean that each sepira on this post has the same sexual attribution as the pole on which they sit. In the Jewish Kabbalah, of all sepiroths, only Bea and Malkut are considered women, while all other sepiroths are men. In addition (and this applies to both Jewish and hermetic Kabbalah), each sefir is regarded as a man in relation to the next sefir in a row on a tree, and a woman in relation to the aforementioned sepir. Alternative traditions consider the grammatical floors of the words involved. Thus, Gevura is feminine because she has an atonal finial heh. Thus, gravity or justice becomes a feminine attribute, while Cheses (Mercy or Loving Kindness) becomes masculine, despite the modern Western tendency polish these terms in reverse order. Numerological values In the numerological sense, the sephiroth tree also matters. Between 10 sephiroth run 22 channels or paths that connect them, a number that can be associated with 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Together, the spiritual forces of 10 sefirotes and 22 connecting channels are called 32 Ways of Wisdom. The rabbinical meaning As for the actual meaning of numbers 10 and 22 in the context of Judaism goes into the Kabbalistic interpretation of Genesis. God is said to have created the world through ten sayings marked by the number of times Genesis declares, And God said. Gen 1:3 - And said: Let there be Light, and there was Light. (Keter) I'm not he Gen 1:6 - And Elohim said: Let there be firmament among the waters and let it separate the water from the waters . I'm not a hokma. Gen 1:9 - And Elohim said: Let the waters under the sky be gathered together in one place and let the land appear. And it was. No, no. Gen 1:11 - And Elohim said: Let the Earth give birth to grass, grass, yielding seeds, and the fruit tree gives fruit after a kind whose seed itself, on earth. And it was. (Cheses) I don't hes Gen 1:14-15 - And Elohim said: Let there be lights on the sky to divide the day from night; and let them be for the signs, and for the seasons, and for a few days and years: And let them be for the lights in the sky to give light to the earth. And it was. (Gevura) Gen 1:20 - And Elohim said: Let the waters give birth to a abundantly moving creature that hath life, and birds that can fly above the ground in the open sky. I can't. Gene 1:22 - And Elohim blessed them, saying, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the bird breed in the earth.' (Netsach) Gen 1:26 - And Elohim said: Let's make people in our image and likeness: and let them have control over the fish of the sea, and over the bird of air, and over the cattle, and over the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that crawls on the ground. No, no, no. Gen 1:28 - And Elohim blessed them and Elohim said to them: Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and save it: and have control over the fish of the sea, and over the bird air, and over every living that move on earth. I'm not talking about it. Gen 1:29-30 - And Elohim said: Here, I have given you every grass bearing the seed that is on the face of the whole earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of the tree yielding to the seed; For you it should be for meat. And to every animal of the earth, and every bird of air, and everything that crawls on the earth in which there is life, I gave every green grass for meat. And it was. (Malchut) As for the 22-letter paths, first to be an explanation of three different types of letters in Hebrew. There are three Mothers (Aleph, Mem and Shin) who represent horizontal lines. Their difference from other letters is a matter for another article. There are seven Doubles (Beth, Guimel, Dalet, Kaf, Pech, Resch, and Tav) that represent vertical lines. Each doppelganger is attributed to a soft and rigid sound, positive and negative meaning, direction, planet, gates of the soul, color, angels and vowels. The second pronunciations of Himel, Daleta, Resch and Tava are lost or contested, with different dialects using different sounds. Tav has no second pronunciation in Sefardi, but Ashkenazi use S sound when dagesh is absent. Twelve Elementarys (Hech, Waw, ain, Chet, Tet, Yud, Lamed, Noon, Semyon, Ayin, Tsaddy and zof) have the same pronunciation and represent diagonal lines. Other sources say they correspond to twelve zodiac constellations. Each grouping of letters has meaning in Genesis 1: Mothers represent three times Genesis says God did. The twins represent seven times Genesis says God has seen. Elementarys (or singles) represent the rest of the time God (Elohim in each case Genesis Chapter 1) is mentioned. In popular culture In the project of the Universe of the Hands of Orion, God-like artificial intelligences that rule humanity, identify with one of Sephiroth. In the Japanese anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, Wood is shown in the opening show, along with other religious mythology.
