 | | ...With the sixth Sefirah, tiferet, the "mercy" or heart of God, we are in the aesthetic realm of God's "beauty," which for the Kabbalah is all the beauty there is... | | | ...Kabbalah, which thus from the start was revisionary in regard to Genesis (though asserting otherwise), was also revisionary of its pagan source in Neoplatonism... | | | ...These esoteric meditations were orthodox parallels to Gnostic reveries on the pleroma, the unfallen divine realm, and can be considered a kind of rabbinical quasi-Gnosticism, but not yet Kabbalah... |

| | The Tarot cards associated with Binah are the Threes, symbolic of the Supernal Triad and of Divinity itself, and referring to creative manifestation. | | | There are many excellent books laying out the structure and meaning of Kabbalah, along a spectrum that ranges from the ultra-orthodox Judaic interpretation (which is the only correct one, of course) to the ultra-metaphysical or magical interpretation proposed by the Order of the Golden Dawn (which is also the only correct one). | | | Both Chokmah and Binah are associated with the Third Eye, center of insight and spiritual visualization. |

| | “Elohim” is the only Name of God mentioned in Genesis 1, indicating that Binah was the Name of God and the driving force that brought forth the Heaven (Ze’ir Anpin) and the Earth (Nukva). | | | Binah is integrally connected with Chokhmah and Keter, but the original Light from God's absolute essence did not directly descend here. | | | MaH, the Supernal Will of the Forehead, is manifest as the action that takes the Creation of order out of chaos. |

| | This does not mean Biblical Kabbalah is bad - to the contrary - those who speak against Biblical Kabbalah are going against the depth Elohim has provided for us to know Him as this Scripture states. | | | My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Da'at); because you have rejected knowledge (Da'at), I will also reject you, that you shall not be a priest to Me; seeing that you have forgotten the Torah of your Elohim, I will also forget your children. | | | Da'at means knowledge and joining and is the product of the joining of Chochmah (Wisdom/Mother) and Binah (Understanding/Father) and then down to produce Tiferet (The Son). |

| | Kabbalah FAQ |
| | However, if you choose to study Kabbalah by name you should recognise that Kabbalah was and is a part of Judaism, and an important part of the history of Jewish people, and respect the beliefs which not only gave rise to Kabbalah, but which are still an essential part of Jewish faith.. | | | Binah is the Mother of Form, the root of separation which forms the basis for all distinctions and finiteness. | | | Another aspect of Jewish religion which influenced Kabbalah was the Biblical phenomenon of prophecy. |

| | It is the "bible" of the Kabbalah and its most influential work. | | | The Kabbalah teaches that the ten Sephiroth became reconstituted as five parzufim when the divine "breaking of the vessels" took place. | | | One of the earliest written accounts of Kabbalah, supposedly written by Simeon ben Yochai in about 70 C.E. This book seems to be a combination of earlier Merkabah Mysticism and newer Kabbalistic thought. |

| | Notes On Kabbalah |
| | The person who taught me Kabbalah (a woman) told me Chokhmah (Abba, the Father) was God's prick, and Binah (Aima, the mother) was God's womb, and left me with the picture of one half of God continuously ejaculating into the other half. | | | I believe this may have something to do with the fact that meditations on Malkuth can easily become meditations on Binah, and meditations on Binah have a habit of slipping into the Abyss, and once in the Abyss it is easy to trawl up enough junk to "discover" an averse Tree "underneath" Malkuth. | | | According to the Gnosticism of Valentinus each person has a guardian angel who accompanies that individual throughout their life and reveals the gnosis; the angel is in a sense the divine Self. |

| | Kabbalah Blends Sefirot Oils |
| | Kabbalah and Meditation by Aryeh Kaplan led me to purchase Sefer Yetzirah also written by him. | | | So I figured the ultimate oil in Assiah for Malkuth, the world of Action, the ultimate manifestation, would be the combination and Divine copulation between Chokmah (Ultimate Divine Maleness) in Assiah (action) and Binah (Ultimate Divine Femaleness) in Assiah. | | | Chokmah and Binah are the only two in Briah, World of Creation. |

| | Much ink is spent bemoaning the way in which Luria unwittingly exposed the monotheist core of Judaism to accusations of harboring the Gnostic dualism (see "The Gnostic Tarot"), a charge that undercuts the Hebrew claim of being the original chosen people of the One True God. | | | It looked to the skeptical as if he were positing two worlds with two separate administrations, the unfallen "upper face" of the Supernal Triangle (Kether, Chokma and Binah), where the energies are still balanced, contrasted with the "Lower Face" of the planetary Sephira resting on Malkuth, the fallen and chaotic World. | | | So we have the Jews of the second century AD studying second century revivals of Pythagoras' writings from the seventh century BC, to find out what their Hebrew ancestors were doing in the eighteenth century BC! |
