Topic: Sefirot

Ads by Google      Sefirot: New Kabbalah The earliest reference to the Sefirot is in the proto-Kabbalistic source, Sefer Yetzirah ( The Book of Formation), where the ten Sefirot and the twenty letters of the Hebrew alphabet are together said to comprise the "thirty-two wondrous paths of wisdom" through which God "engraved and created the world". The Zohar conceptualizes the Sefirot as dimensions, archetypes, spiritual forces, activities within the Godhead, gates to the divine world, aspects of God and ways in which God is manifest in creation. http://www.newkabbalah.com/sefirot.html      Encyclopedia4U - God - Encyclopedia Article Kabbalists speak of the second aspect of God as being seen by the universe as ten emanations from God; these emanations are called 'sefirot'. The idea that there are ten divine sefirot could evolve over time into the idea that "God is One being, yet in that One being there are Ten". Some explain the sefirot as stages of the creative process whereby God, from His own infinite being, created the progression of realms which culminated in our finite and physical universe. http://www.encyclopedia4u.com/g/god-1.html      The Sefirot: Kabbalistic Archetypes of Mind and Creation by Sanford L. Drob It is the sefirot which are alluded to when the Bahir reinterprets the Psalm (19:2), "The heavens declare the glory of God" as "the heavens shine in the sapphirine splendor of the glory of God." Here the Hebrew sipor (to tell) is reinterpreted as sappir (sapphire). According to the Lurianic Kabbalah, the creation of a finite world is predicated on God's self-limitation. The highest of the sefirot, Keter Elyon, qualitatively distinct from all of the others and barely separable from Ein-sof, the Infinite God, is so sublime and concealed that, according to the Kabbalists, nothing at all can be predicated of it. http://www.aril.org/Drob.htm      Freemasonry in Israel - The Ten Sefirot of the World of Atzilut All the worlds are both created and conducted by means of the Sefirot, the emanations by which the various attributes of Divinity become manifest. Nonetheless, since his soul-powers do after all derive from the Sefirot and are illuminated by them, he can attain some degree of understanding of G-dliness from that dimension of the soul that animates his body. [For the kelim of Za-and-nukva of Atzilut illuminate and are infused within the Sefirot of the World of Asiyah. http://www.geocities.com/fmisrael/atzilut.html      Glossary of Kabbalah and Chassidut: S sefirot -- the ten emanations of Divine light, which energize the creative process and define its parameters A sefirah is a channel of Divine energy or life-force. For further explanation see: The Divine Emanations-- Gevurah. http://www.inner.org/glossary/gloss_s.htm      Dictionary of Terms Whereas the other sefirot determine the internal structure of each world and its nature (according to whichever sefira predominates in that world -- see "Worlds"), Arich Anpin is G-d's Will that the worlds exist. Chesed denotes the unbounded loving-kindness with which G-d created the worlds, and with which all of Creation is permeated, as the verse explains: "The world is built with chesed " (Psalms 89:3). Moreover, it envelops the entire world of which it is the keter, including all of the sefirot of that world. http://www.kabbalaonline.org/staticpages/glossary.asp      The Sefirot These aspects were said to have emanated, or unfolded from God, and as the sefirot embodied all aspects of creation, generation, and decay, they represented the universe itself unfolding." - Ancient Wisdom and Secret Sects "The ten circles are known as sephiroth, the plural of sephira, meaning a number. If especially devout, they may be raised to the level of Yesod or attain a sefirotic vision, but the highest sefirot are considered unapproachable. The sefirot are the divine original of that image. http://members.tripod.com/EsotericTexts05/Cabbalah.TheSephirot.htm      Sefirot 8: Emanations Interact Conversely, every individual aspect of creation must accept Divine authority, for only then can the ultimate good of the mundane realm be assured. Malchut is the last of the ten sefirot. It is the final emotive attribute within Creation (or, more precisely, the manifestation of what is contained above it in a potential or latent state, as explained above). http://www.kabbalaonline.org/Introductions/firststeps/Sefirot_8_Emanations_Interact.asp      Byzant Kabbalah - The Tree of Life The absolute divine light can be said to be refracted through the prism of the sefirot into the apparently multifarious world of creation. Also worthy of note are the seven planes of the tree and the correspondence between the sefirot and the chakras of eastern mysticism. However, as will be seen from the discussion of the Four Worlds below, " Malkuth in one world is Kether of the next": even these sefirot can be viewed in their dual aspect. http://www.byzant.com/kabbalah/treeoflife.asp      Kabbalah Oils All works of creation, whether of the Divine World or of our Physical World need a point of completion. So I meditated on what Chokmah meant to me as it existed in each of it's worlds and planned it's blend intuitively, as I did for any of the Sephirot which were difficult to find actual correspondences for. All ten Sefirot blends are comprised of four oils each, except for Malkuth which is of five. http://www.witchworks.com/prep.htm      [No title] Described in Kabbalistic texts, the Sefirot are divine aspects of God which can be known through the lowest of the Sefirot, the Malkhut. Sefer Yetzirah is Hebrew for "The Book of Creation," and it describes the mystic way in which to create a golem through contemplation of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet and the 10 Sefirot. The Sefirot are divided into male and female aspects. http://golem.plush.org/faq      The Ten Sefirot: Divine Emanations These channels are called the Ten Sefirot, Ten Divine Emanations, Ten Divine Radiances, Ten Divine Eluminices, or Ten Divine Powers which are the basic terms and concepts of the inner wisdom of the Torah which is called Kabbalah. Therefore there are actually only Ten Sefirot but there are all together eleven names. http://www.inner.org/sefirot/sefirot.htm      Sefirot and Torah Added to the 22 explicit Hebrew letter lines, the full 27-letter alphabet of the Torah sequence is formed. Stan Tenen is studying relationships between the 22 Hebrew letters and the 5 Final, and has shown how the 27 letters correspond to a Magic Cube. The 22 lines can be put in correspondence with the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. http://www.innerx.net/personal/tsmith/sefTorah.html      10 Sefirot Emanations, provided by Eighth Day Assembly Some may ask, "What is the purpose of the Sefirot in Christianity?" Eighth Day Assembly believes that the study of the Sefirot gives us a greater understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and His relationship of unity with God the Father, and with us! All human knowledge of God is really of the ten emanated Sefirot. The 4 Sefirot below Tiferet are absorbed upward, toward the center, and again, meet and unify in Tiferet. http://members.cox.net/8thday/sefirot.html      The Ten Sefirot This very question was posed to the Rivash (14th century): “Do you Kabbalists not also believe in many Gods, as you postulate the Ten Sefirot?” This was his reply. Therefore, the Ten Sefirot are the various ways we perceive G-d through His action within the world, while we firmly believe in the Unity of G-d. http://www.rabdavis.org/ten_sefirot.htm      Kabbalah World Center - "Online Kabbalah Lessons" - Glossary Chochma which is in Arich Anpin, and which does not illuminate in Atzilut, but only illuminates Chochma of the 32 Netivot. The last 6 Sefirot of Asiya are in the place of the 6 Sefirot of the world of Briah. The clenching of the lights, that indicates the 10 Sefirot of Rosh, which are clenched before they dress in the Kelim of the Guf. http://www.kabbalah.info/engkab/glossary.htm      THE SEFIROT OF EMANATION AND RETURN At the lowest rung of the Sefirot is the Shekhina, also known as Gods maternal Presence in our world, and the maternal gateway to salvation. In the Sefirot of Return we must reverse the process of emanations from above to reconnect with the Divine Source. Rather than depicting the ludicrousy of an anthropomorphic God as creator, the Sefirot speaks of Ein Sof (Literally, Eternity): the Source Mystery of all being and becoming. http://www.doubter.net/id26.html      The Fifty Gates of Wisdom The "higher" Sefirot are closely associated with the fourth or highest heaven (that of the Eyn Sof), the lower Sefirot are linked to the lower three heavens and the physical world. Note also that he possessed the "Spirit of God", that is associated with Da'at-Knowledge. The relationship between the ten Sefirot is said to be ruled by three Divine principles: Mercy, Justice and Will. http://www.imninalu.net/50GatesOfWisdom.htm      Kabbalah: An Archetypal Interpretation/ Jung and Kabbalah Far from being antagonistic to any "psychologization" of the divinity, the Kabbalists and Hasidim held that the human mind is a mirror and, in some respects, the very origin of the theosophical realm. Even amongst the Lurianists, with there emphasis upon the theosophical structure of the godhead and divine worlds, we find the doctrine that the Sefirot are mirrored in man’s body and soul (Vital, 1960, Gate 1, Sec, 2). Chaos reaches the upper worlds as well, where the masculine and feminine aspects of the deity, the celestial "Mother" and "Father", represented by the Sefirot Chochmah and Binah, are prompted to turn their backs on one another, thus disrupting the flow of divine erotic energy to all the worlds. http://www.newkabbalah.com/Jung3.html      Selections from Sefer Yetzirah Ten Sefirot of Nothingness: One is the Breath of the Living God, blessed and benedicted be the Name of the Life of worlds. Ten Sefirot of Nothingness: Ten and not nine; ten and not eleven. Ten Sefirot of Nothingness plus twenty two [foundations] letters: Three Mothers, Seven Doubles, and Twelve Elementals. http://www.ucalgary.ca/~elsegal/Rels463/Yetzirah.html      Kabbalah úùñ"â The sefirot, in correct balance, may be understood as the source of such life energy as they come together to form the following five categories: Truth (reason and logic), Spirit (existential wholeness, feeling a part), Love (human relationships), Justice (morality and social justice) and Beauty. This reflects the fact that the path from the universal Word of God to a concrete manifestation of the Word of God that we can comprehend runs through actual individual existence represented by these sefirot, the luz, the very of "until this very day". And thus the World, which is the revealed side of God, functions according to the same laws of nature that the psyche does: everywhere the sefirot are manifested. http://bitterchocolate.faithweb.com/Facing.html      Sefirot.htm As the Sefirotic "Tree of Life" is in the image of God, and the rest of Creation came through this, we can then expect to see some type of Sefirot pattern within Creation. The relationship between the ten Sefirot, (and the "Sefirah" of Da'at), is ruled by three Divine principles: Mercy, Justice and Will (or Grace). The concept of HaShem being expressed as a Father (Yeshayahu 63:16; 64:8; Yirmeyahu 31:9 and Mal'akhi 1:6) and a Mother (Yeshayahu 66:13) is found in the Tanakh, in which we are told that the image of God in which man was created was "male and female" (Bereshyit 1:26-27). http://www.imninalu.net/Sefirot.htm      Judaism 101: Kabbalah and Jewish Mysticism The Sefirot are not separate deities, as some might think by taking this too literally. In fact, according to some of my mystically-inclined friends, Jesus performed his miracles using kabbalistic techniques learned from the Essenes, a Jewish sect of that time that was involved in mysticism. The Ein Sof interacts with the universe through ten emanations from this essence, known as the Ten Sefirot. http://www.jewfaq.org/kabbalah.htm      Donmeh West - "Commentary on Rabbi Azriel of Gerona's 12th Century Text, "Explanation of the Ten Sefirot" To do so he uses both the rational arguments of philosophy -- resembling those of St. Thomas Aquinas's "Watchmaker" (i.e., when you see a watch, you know there is a Watchmaker) and Plato before him (i.e., God as the "Unmoved Mover") -- as well as the rabbinic method of "proving" Scripture by Scripture.

Chapter 1: The Kav, which brought order to the Ten Sefirot   http://www.yedidnefesh.com/kaballah/song      Kabbalah World Center - "The Book Of Ten Sefirot - Preface" These five phases emerge from five Behinot of Aviut of Behina Dalet, which were five receiving vessels of Behina Dalet before TA; they enveloped the 10 Sefirot: Keter, Hochma, Bina, Tifferet, and Malchut. Kabbalah World Center - "The Book Of Ten Sefirot - Preface" Now we can understand that if the screen has all these five Behinot of Aviut, then it possesses five vessels for enveloping the 10 Sefirot, i.e., for receiving the Upper Light. http://www.kabbalah.info/engkab/talmud_eser_sefirot/preface/preface.htm      baeck.html In the first chapter of the book, ten Sefirot b'limah are named with the twenty-two letters, which together trace the paths [ n'tivot ] [1] through which the Creation comes to fulfillment, and many of the paragraphs in this first chapter begin emphatically with the words "ten Sefirot b'limah ". The Sefirot are the transcendent unities of spacial extension; they are its seals which have been imprinted by the Creator so that "His word is in them," as was said in an earlier passage. The henáds depict the mediating transition from the original unity to multiplicity, like the ten Sefirot in our book. http://www.wbenjamin.org/baeck.html      Jewish Spirituality - Kaballa 101 A Kabbalistic concept explaining the multiplicity of God& manifestations in the world helps us see how God is truly One. Of the Ten Sefirot, tiferet -- which literally means "beauty" or "glory" -- is the most central as it mediates between chesed ("kindness") and gevurah ("strength"). Prayer lifts us above a fragmented world, where we turn our focus to only One God, whose many attributes make up one cohesive union. http://aish.com/spirituality/kabbala101      The Cheapest The Ten Sefirot of The Kabbalah Poster The Cheapest The Ten Sefirot of The Kabbalah Poster The cheapest The Ten Sefirot of The Kabbalah Poster faith & spirituality world religions judaica the ten sefirot of the kabbalah http://www.cheapest-art.com/detail14067/389759_the+ten+sefirot+of+the+kabbalah      LookSmart - Directory - Tree of Life and the Ten Sefirot Find an image of the Sephirothic system of ten divine names, as translated from "Oedipus Aegyptiacus," by Athanasius Kircher, a Jesuit priest.
