TREE SEPHIROT
The Tree of Sephiroth can be considered an invaluable compendium of the secret philosophy that was originally the spirit and soul of Hasidism. Kabbalah is Israel's priceless heritage, but every year the number of people who understand its principles becomes fewer and fewer. The Jew today, unless he has a sense of the depth of the doctrines of his people, is usually imbued with the most dangerous form of ignorance, modernism, and considers the Kabala either an evil to be avoided like the plague, or a ridiculous superstition that has survived the black magic of the dark ages. And yet, without the key contained in the Kabbalah, it is impossible for either Jews or pagans to unravel the spiritual secrets of both the Old and New Testaments.
The Tree of Sephiroth consists of ten balls of radiant splendor, arranged in three vertical columns and connected by twenty-two channels or paths. The ten balls are called Sephiroth, to which are assigned numbers from 1 to 10. The three columns are called Mercy (on the right), Cruelty (on the left) and between them Temperance as the force that unites them. The columns may represent Wisdom, Strength and Beauty, which form the threefold support of the universe, because the foundation of all things is said to be Three. The twenty-two channels are the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, to which the main cards of the Tarot deck are also assigned.
TREE SEPHIROT
The materialistic phenomenon of growth is a moment of movement from the outside, a kind of expansion through which the process of the emergence of form begins. For the philosopher, however, growth is an inward movement, but not a contraction, but a direction of consciousness towards the center of being. The manner in which the Indian fakir grows a whole mango tree from a seed in a few moments is analogous to the process of philosophical mysticism in which there is a miraculous unfolding of the human soul and in the course of which the fruits are produced much earlier than is possible at that age. This tree-soul grows in an almost incomprehensible way to the source of its own seed and finally connects the two worlds. The Kabbalistic tree of organized manifestation is not only a macrocosmic symbol, but also the emblem of man himself, because he too is rooted in the spirit and, in order to achieve perfection, must finally withdraw from the four worlds and go into his own seed. To a certain extent, man's conscious functions at this level of existence correspond to his thoughts. Thoughts and emotions are the basis of all attachment. Therefore, one who is attached to physical things is called worldly because his consciousness is the servant of his material pursuits. Asserting his ability to raise consciousness to the level of his thoughts, the ascetic devotes his life to contemplation of the divine. Ascetics of all times have maintained this position, saying that moments of delight in contemplating the higher life make up for all the inconveniences associated with self-restraint. While such achievements are obtained through mortification of the flesh, the philosophy asserts that any person can unfold his latent potential and reach the divine worlds. The tree is a symbol of philosophical growth, while the hair shirt and flagellation signify a sincere but unnatural desire for a higher life.
Eliphas Levi stated that by arranging the Tarot cards in a certain order, everything that could be known about God, the universe and man could be revealed. When the ten numbers relating to the balls (Sephiroth) are combined with the 22 letters relating to the channels, the result is 32, the number inherent in the Kabbalistic Paths of Wisdom. These Paths, sometimes called the thirty-two teeth of the Great Face, or the thirty-two nerves from the Divine Marrow, are analogous to the 32 degrees of Freemasonry, which raise the candidate to the position of Prince of the Royal Secret. Kabbalists also consider it extremely significant that in the original Hebrew Scriptures the name of God appears 32 times in the first chapter of Genesis. (In the English translation of the Bible, the name appears 33 times.) In the mystical analysis of the human body, according to the rabbis, 32 dorsal vertebrae lead up to the skull - the Temple of Wisdom.
The four Kabbalistic trees described in the previous chapter were later combined by Jewish scholars into a single diagram, which was called not only the Sephiroth, but also the Archetypal or Heavenly Adam. According to some authorities, it is this Divine Adam, and not earthly man, who is described in the opening chapters of Genesis. From the substances of this divine man the universe was formed; in it she abides and will remain even when the spheres return again to the original substance; the deity was never considered to be contained in the Sephiroth, which are a purely hypothetical shell used to define the limits of the creative essence. Adolf Frank likens the Sephiroth to the multicolored transparent glass of a vase, filled with pure light, which seems to suggest the color of the vase, but whose nature remains unchanged and unchangeable.
The ten Sephiroth which constitute the body of the prototypical Adam, the numbers associated with them, and the parts of the universe to which they correspond, are:
It must always be borne in mind that the Sephiroth and the properties attributed to them, like the tetractys of the Pythagoreans, are simply symbols of the cosmic system with its multiplicity of parts. A truer and fuller understanding of these symbols cannot be revealed either in writing or in words, but must be achieved only through the path of study and meditation. In the Sefer HaZohar it is written that there is clothing - a written doctrine that any person can see. But those who have understanding look not at the clothes, but at the body underneath - at the intellectual and philosophical law. The wisest of all, the servants of the Heavenly King, look to nothing but the soul—spiritual doctrine—which is the eternal and flourishing offspring of the law. Eliphas Levi wrote about this great truth that no one can enter the secret House of Wisdom until he puts on the radiant cap of Apollonius from Tyana or takes into his hands the lamp of Hermes. The cap signifies the quality of self-control which should clothe the seeker with a cloak of strength, while the ever-burning lamps of the sages represent the radiant mind and the perfectly balanced intellect, without which the mysteries of the ages could never be solved.
The Tree of Sephiroth is sometimes depicted as a human body, which establishes the true origin of the first or Divine Man - Adam Kadmon - the idea of the universe. The ten divine Balls (Sephiroth) are considered in this case as analogues of the ten sacred members and organs Protogonos according to the following order: Kether is the crown of the Prototypical Head and probably indicates the pineal gland. Hochma and Binach are the right and left hemispheres of the Great Brain. Chezed and Geburah (Pehal) are the right and left hands respectively, signifying the active creative members of the Great Man. And Tiphareth is the heart or, according to some points of view, the entire circulatory system, Netzach and Hod are the right and left legs, respectively, and go as the supports of the world. Yesod is the reproducing system or the basis of form. Malchut is two feet or the foundation of being. Sometimes Yesod is seen as the masculine and Malchut as the feminine generative principle. The great man is thus seen as a gigantic image of Nebuchadnezzar's vision, with a head of gold, arms and chest of silver, a body of copper, legs of iron and feet of clay. Medieval Kabbalists attributed each of the ten commandments and each of the ten parts of the prayer to the Lord in sequential order to each of the ten Sephiroth.
Regarding the emanations from Kether, which assert themselves as three triads of the Creative Power, called in the Sefer ha Zohar three heads with three faces, E. Blavatsky writes: “This (Kether) was the first of the Sephiroth, containing within itself the other nine
The Sephiroth or minds, In their universality and unity they represent the archetypal man, Adam Kadmon????????????, who in his individuality or unity is still a dual, bisexual being, the Greek Didumos because he is the prototype of all humanity. Thus we get three trinities, each of which contains a “head”. In the first head or face (the Hindu Trimurti with three faces) we find Sephira (Kether), the first androgyne, at the apex of the triangle, emitting Hahama (Hochma), or wisdom, a masculine and powerful activity, also called Yah
And Binah
Reason, feminine and passive power, also represented by the name of Jehovah
These three peaks form the first trinity, or “face” of the Sephiroth. This triad emits Chesed
Or mercy, masculine and active power, or the force called El, from which Geburah flows
Justice, also called Eloha, is a feminine passive force. From the union of these two forces Tiphareth is obtained
Beauty, mercy, the spiritual sun known as Elohim. In this way the second triad, or “face”, or “head” is formed. She, in turn, emits the male power of Netzach
Firmness, or Jehovah Hosts, which emits feminine passive power Hod
Splendor or Elohim of Hosts. From these two it turns out
Yesod, the foundation, which is the mighty living force of El Chai. Thus the third trinity, or “head,” is obtained. The tenth Sephira is more of a Duad and is represented in the diagram as the lower circle. This is Malkuth. or kingdom
And Shekinah
Or Adonai, Cherub among angelic spirits. The first “head” is called the intellectual world; the second head is the sensory world, or the world of perception; and the third head is the physical or material world” (see “Isis” by E. Blavatsky).
FOUR TREES SEPHIROT
The forty concentric circles shown in the diagram in the previous chapter are arranged here in the form of four trees, each consisting of ten circles. These trees reveal the hierarchy that controls the fate of all creatures. These trees are the same in each of the four possible worlds, but the power contained in each of the balls manifests itself in a different way depending on the substance of each world, which leads to infinite variety.
The later Kabalists also have a division of the Sephirotic tree into five parts, in which the distribution of the balls is as follows:
1. Macroprosophus, or Great Face, is a term applicable to Kether as the first and most sublime of the Sephiroth, and also to the nine powers or Sephiroth emanating from Kether.
2. Abba, or Great Father, is a term applied to Hochma - Universal Wisdom - the first emanation from Kether, but, according to Ibn Gebirol, Hochma represents the Son, Logos, or Word, born from the union of Kether and Vinah.
3. Lima, or Great Mother, is the name by which Vinah, or the third Sephira, is generally known. It is the Holy Spirit from whose body generations come. Being the third person of the Creative Triad, she corresponds to Jehovah or the demiurge.
4. Microprosophus, or Small Face, consists of six Sephiroth: Chesed, Geburah, Tiphareth, Netzach, Hod And Yesod. Microprosophus is often called Lesser Adam or Zauir Anpin, while Macroprosophus, or the Higher Adam, is Arich Anpin. Small Face symbolized by the six-pointed star or the superimposed triangles of Zion, or by the six faces of a cube. They represent the directions of north, east, south, west, up and down, as well as the six days of Creation. In his list of the parts of Microprosophus a MacGregor Mathers includes Binach as the first and highest part of the Lesser Adam, making his constitution septenary. If Microprosophus is considered sixfold, its spheres (Sephiroth) are analogous to the six days of Creation, and the tenth sphere, Malchut, is the Sabbath of rest.
5. Bride of Microprosophus - Malchut - the quintessence of the Sephiroth, a structure composed of four elements. This is the divine Eve, who is taken from one side of the Microprosophus and unites the power of the entire Kabbalistic tree in one sphere, which can be called man.
The Secret of the Sephiroth states that the order of Creation, or the Divine Lightning, which zigzags through the four worlds, according to the hierarchy of divine emanations, is as follows: from AYN SOPH, Nothing and All, Eternal and Unconditional Power, comes Macroprosophus, or Long Face. of which it is written: “In His skull arise every day thirteen thousand myriads of worlds, which receive their existence from Him and are supported by Him” (see “The Great Sacred Assembly”). Macroprosophus, the directed will of AYN SOPH, corresponding to Kether, the Crown of the Sephiroth, gives birth from itself to nine lesser spheres, the sum and beginning of which He is. The 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, the various combinations of which establish the laws of the universe, constitute the scepter of Macroprosophus, which he holds on his fiery throne in Mire Atzilut.
From this external and ancient androgyne, Kether, come Hochma, Great father, and Binach, Great Mother. These two entities are called Abba And Aima, the first of them is a man and the second is a woman, prototypes of the sexes. They correspond to the first two letters of the sacred name Jehovah,
Father is
Or I, mother is
Or N. Abba and Aima symbolize creative activity in the universe and are established in the creative Mire Briah. In the Sefer HaZohar it is written: “And, therefore, all things were established in the equality of male and female, because if this were not so, then how could things exist? This principle is the Father of all things, the Father of all Fathers, and both principles are connected with each other. Chochma, Wisdom, like the Father, and Binach, Understanding, like the Mother."
There is some difference of opinion regarding the relationship of the parts in the first triad. Some Kabbalists, including Ibn Gebirol, viewed Kether as the Father, Binah as the Mother, and Hochmah as the Son. In this kind of construction, Wisdom, which is an attribute of the Son, becomes the creator of the lower spheres. The symbol of Binah is the Dove, the emblem of the purely maternal instinct of the universal mother.
From the Great Collection of Works by R. Fludd
TABLE OF SEPHIROTIC CORRESPONDENCES
This diagram, translated from the Latin, is of particular importance to students of the Kabbalah, and is also an example of Robert Fludd's unusual ability in constructing correspondence tables. Robert Fludd was listed among the prominent Rosicrucians and Freemasons. He was even called the first English Rosicrucian. He is the author of many invaluable documents that shed light on the mystery of the Rosicrucians. A very interesting fact is that his works were published at the same time as the works of Bacon, Shakespeare and the first Rosicrucian authors.
Due to the close similarity of the creative triads with the Christian Trinity, later Kabbalists rearranged the first three Sephira, adding a mysterious point Daaf - hypothetical eleventh Sephira. It is located where the horizontal line connecting Hochmah and Binach intersects the vertical line connecting Kether and Tiphareth. Although Daaf is not mentioned by the early Kabalists, it is a highly important element, and its addition to the Sephirotic Tree was made with full understanding of the significance of this action. If Hochma is considered as the active, intelligent energy of Kether and Binach is the receptive faculty of Kether, then Daaf becomes a thought which, being created by Chochma, flows into Binah. The postulation of Daath clarifies the problem of the Creative Trinity, because it is represented in the diagram as consisting of Chochmah (Father), Binah (Mother, Holy Spirit) and Daaf (Word by which the world was formed). Isaac Mayer downplays the importance of Daaf, believing that this subterfuge hides the fact that Kether, and not Chochmah, is the true Father of the creative Triad. He makes no attempt to give a satisfactory explanation of the symbolism of this hypothetical Sephira.
From the book “Oedipus of Egypt” by A. Kircher
TREE OF THE SEPHIROT OF THE LATER KABALISTS
According to Kabbalists, the universe is divided into four worlds, each of which consists of ten spheres. It is important to know how these ten spheres of each world are located and relate to each other in the so-called tree of Sephiroth. This tree is composed of ten circles representing the numbers 1 to 10 and connected to each other by twenty-two channels or paths - the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Ten (numbers) plus twenty-two (letters) gives the occult number 32, which, according to the Mishnah, means the thirty-two paths to Wisdom. Letters and numbers, according to Kabbalists, are the keys to all knowledge, because through the secret system of their construction the secret of creation is revealed. For this reason they are called the Paths of Wisdom. This occult fact is often hidden in the 32 degrees of Freemasonry. There are four trees, each for one of the four worlds described in the previous chapter. The first world is the World of Atzilut, whose ten balls are balls of light located in the middle of AIN SOF. The powers and attributes of this tree are reflected in each of the three lower worlds. In each of the worlds, the shape of the tree remains the same, but the strength of the balls that make them up decreases sequentially. To complicate their doctrine, the Kabbalists created another tree, which consists of all the trees of the world, but contains only nine balls. In this single tree is condensed the entire arcana, hitherto scattered throughout various collections of Kabbalistic literature.
According to the original concept, from the union of the Divine Father and the Divine Mother we get Microprosophus, Short Face or Small Face, which is stated in Yetzirah, the World of Creation, and corresponds to the letter
(V) Great Name. The six powers of Microprosophus flow from and are contained in their own source, which is Binach, the mother or Lesser Adam. They constitute the spheres of the sacred planets, their name is Elohim, and they move to the surface from the depths. The tenth Sephira of Malkuth, the kingdom, is described as the Bride of the Lesser Adam, created together with her ruler, to whom is assigned the letter
(H), the last letter of the Holy Name. The abode of Malchut is the fourth Peace of Assiah, consisting of all higher forces reflected in the elements of the earthly sphere. Thus it is seen that the Kabbalistic tree extends through the four worlds, the branches of which are in matter, and the roots in the most ancient of the ancients: Macroprosophus.
Three vertical columns support the universal system represented by the Sephirotic Tree. The central column is based in Kether, eternity. It passes down through the hypothetical Sephira, Daaf, and then through Tiphareth and Yesod and rests on the solid foundation of Malchut, the last of the spheres. The true role of the central pillar is balance. It demonstrates how the deity manifests itself through the emanation of the poles from its center, while remaining free from the illusion of polarity. If we add up the numbers of the four Sephiroth in this column 1 + 6 + 9 + 10, the sum will be equal to 26, which is the number of Jehovah (see the chapter on Pythagorean mathematics).
The column on the right, called Jachin, has its basis in Chochma, the source of the wisdom of God; the three balls on this column have masculine properties. The column on the left is called Boaz. The three balls on it are feminine and receptive forces, because they have a basis in understanding, receptive and maternal force. Wisdom, as has already been observed, is regarded as a pouring or radiating force, and understanding as a receptive force which is filled with the flow of wisdom. All three columns finally unite in the Sephira Malchut, in which all the forces of the higher worlds are manifested.
The four balls on the central column reveal the functions of the creative force in various worlds. The creative force of the first world is the will, the divine cause; in the second world, the hypothetical Daaf, the Word emanating from divine thought. In the third world - Tiphareth, the Sun, or focal point between God and nature; in the fourth world it has a double function, since it is the positive and negative poles of the reproductive system, where Yesod is the male pole and Malchut is the female pole.
From the book “Indian Antiquities” by T. Maurice
SEPHIROTH IN THE FORM OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Thomas Maurice reproduces the above picture, which is a modification of the tree in the previous picture. The Sephiroth are superimposed on each other, decreasing in size as their strength and nobility decrease. Thus, the Crown is the greatest and all-embracing, and the Kingdom, which represents the physical universe, is the smallest and most insignificant.
In Kircher's Sephirotic Tree it should be noted that the decorations in the tabernacle appear in different parts of the diagram. This speaks of a direct relationship between the sacred House of God and the universe - a relationship which must be considered as the relationship between the deity through whom the activity of the world is carried out, and the world itself, which must be the home or shell of this deity. If the modern scientific world could feel the true depth of these philosophical conclusions of the ancients, it would then realize that those who built the edifice of the Kabbalah possessed a knowledge of the heavenly plane quite comparable in every respect to modern science.
The Tetragrammaton, or the four-letter Name of God, written as YHWH, is pronounced Jehovah. The first letter is
Yud, germ, life, flame, cause, the one and most important of all Jewish phallic emblems. Its numeric value is 10, and it must be considered 1, containing 10. The Kabbalah further states that the Yud is actually three Yuds, the first of which is the beginning, the second the center and the third the end. Her throne is Sephira Hochma (according to Ibn Gebirol, Keter), which impregnates Binah, which is the first
Gay. The result of this union is Tiphareth, which is
Vav, whose strength is 6, symbolizing the six members of the Lesser Adam. Ultimate
Gey, there is Malkuth, the Lower Mother, sharing the power of the Divine Mother, the first Gey. If you arrange the four letters of the Tetragrammaton vertically, you get a figure reminiscent of the human body, where the head is represented by Yud, the first Gey is the arms and shoulders, Vav is the torso and the last Gey is the legs. If the Hebrew letters are replaced by English equivalents, the form changes insignificantly and the analogy does not disappear. It is very significant that by inserting the letter
Shin, in the middle of the name Iehovah, Jehovah, comes the word Iehoshua, or Jesus: .
In the Kabbalistic mysteries, according to Eliphas Levi, the name Jehovah is written by connecting 24 points (24 powers in front of the throne), and it must be borne in mind that the name of the power of evil is the sign of Jehovah, read in reverse (see “Transcendental Magic”). Albert Pike writes of the Great Word: “The true Word of the Mason is to be sought in the hidden and profound meaning of the Elusive Name of the Deity, communicated by God to Moses. The meaning was lost in the very attempt to hide it. The true pronunciation of this name was a secret, which, however, was based on the secret of the meaning of the name. In this name is included all the truth that can be known to us concerning the nature of God” (see “Morals and Dogma” by A. Pike).

The Tree of Sephiroth or the Tree of Life is an ancient esoteric system that reflects the principle of development of the entire Universe. It consists of 10 Sephiroth, which emanate from each other in succession, just as the bowls of a fountain are filled.
These 10 Sephiroth reflect 10 universal forces, 10 spheres of existence, or 10 hypostases of God, as they are also called. They are connected to each other by connections called “paths.”
10 Sephiroth of the Tree of Life:
- Kether “Crown” - the ocean of existence, God the Father, the Great Brahman;
- Chokmah “Wisdom” - the masculine principle, the Creator god;
- Bina “Wisdom” - the feminine principle, the Great Mother;
- Chesed “Mercy” - guardian god, emperor, gracious sovereign;
- Geburah "Severity" - the conquering god, expanding borders through destruction and war;
- Tiphareth “Beauty” - god the Son, divine child, harmony, love, peace, spiritual world;
- Netzach “Victory” - aesthetics and beauty, the sphere of emotions;
- Move “Glory” - mental sphere, intellect;
- Yesod “Form” - the astral world, including the mental and astral spheres;
- Malkuth "Kingdom" - Earth, matter, nature.
The right side of the Tree is masculine. It is called the Column of Mercy. The left side is female. It is called the Column of Justice. In the center of the Tree, where the interaction of these opposites occurs, there is a column of Balance.
The Sephiroth tree is built on the principle of hierarchy: at the top are the most subtle and primary forces, at the bottom are the coarsest and densest. The entire Tree system is conventionally divided into 4 worlds (from top to bottom): the Divine world, the world of Thrones, the world of Angels and the world of Matter.
Start
The source of the Tree of Sephiroth is at the top. First Sephira - Kether translated means "Crown". It reflects the First Cause from which the world is born. This sphere of existence corresponds to what spiritual teachings call the Creator, the Absolute or the Creator. In mythology, this is the Supreme God, who gave birth to light and the rest of the pantheon of gods.
But the scientific world, in particular adherents of the Big Bang Theory, call this state of the Universe “singularity”. The Singularity is the Point at which the entire future Universe is concentrated. All its particles are connected at this point to each other by super-dense bonds. These connections are so dense that it is wrong to even talk about particles as particulars. At this moment, everything that can be is in Absolute Unity, beyond time and space.
Depiction of the singularity point in the concept of the Big Bang Theory
The Last Sephira of the Tree – Malkuth- is located at the very base of the Tree of Sephiroth and denotes the material world. Malkuth is a realization at the level of physics. In the esoteric system of the Tree of Sephiroth, Malkuth corresponds to our planet – Earth. In the everyday sense, this Sephira means achieving a result or goal.
The idea that invisibly originated in the consciousness of the Creator “Kether”, at the final stage turns into the materialized form of “Malkuth” - the world of nature. It is from here that the human soul begins its path of ascent to the Creator. If the path from Kether to Malkuth was the path of the creation of all things, then the path from Malkuth to Kether is the path of the evolution of consciousness: from man to God.
In general, the esoteric meaning of the Tree of Sephiroth is found in many areas of human activity. Built on the Universal Laws of the World, the Tree works by analogy. Both on the scale of the Universe and on the scale of the human soul. Both in the material world and in the spiritual.
The principle of creativity between God and man is the same: the idea is primary. But an idea without implementation can remain an idea, invisible and unmanifested. To realize the idea, two more elements are needed: matter and applied action. For example, the plot of a story may appear in your mind. But while this story is only in your consciousness, it does not exist on the material level. And only you yourself are a witness to its existence. The author of the story will be considered the one who not only invented, but also displayed the plot in symbols, giving the idea form in the form of a clear sequence of letters.
The Tree of Sephiroth and the Indivisible Trinity
Idea, energy and matter in the form of the first three Sephiroth constitute the divine indivisible Trinity in the Tree. The idea arises in Sephira Kether as a plan. Action as an active male force is reflected in Sephira Chochma in the image of the Great Father. Accordingly, matter in the image of the Great Mother symbolizes Bina - female passive power, the opposite of masculine and active force.
Returning to the Big Bang Theory, according to scientists, at the aforementioned singularity point, both matter and energy already exist in incredible density. Therefore, this point has infinite mass, and its temperature also tends to infinity. The Big Bang itself, as a result of which, according to this theory, everything in the world appeared, is the result captured in form.
The ancients saw an analogy for the creation of the Universe in the sacred principle of the conception of life: the Great Father puts his seed (idea) into the body of the Great Mother (matter). Conception occurs through the Holy Spirit (action). And soon a divine child is born (result).
The image of the divine child on the Tree of Sephiroth is located in Tiphareth, which means “Beauty”. This Sephira is the center of the entire system. She represents harmony and love. And the mission of Christ the Savior corresponds to it. And if in the Indivisible Trinity “Father, Son and Holy Spirit” Kether is the image of God the Father, then Tiphareth is the image of God the Son.
Image of the Divine Child and the Blessed Virgin Mary
Correspondence of the worlds of the Tree in the energy structure of the soul
As I wrote in other articles, the energy structure of the soul is multidimensional, and on the human body, each layer of it has a projection called a chakra. In turn, each chakra can be correlated with a level on the Sephiroth Tree.
Thus Malkuth as Sephira of the material world relates to the physical body of a person. The projection of Malkuth in the energy structure is the Muladhara chakra, located at the base of the spine.
Further on the Tree we see three Sephira: Yesod, Netzach and Hod, relating to the world of Angels or Forms. Central Yesod - astral world. There is an interaction between two opposing forces: Netzach – feelings and Hod – intellect. The projection of the astral world on the human body is the “Svadhisthana” chakra, located in the area of the gonads and responsible for desires, emotions and pleasures.
Center of the Tree – Sephira Tiphareth. In the energy structure of the human soul, its projection also plays a central role. Tiphareth is located in the world of Creation and denotes spiritual beauty. The projection on the human body of this world is located in the solar plexus area and immediately corresponds to 2 mind chakras: Manipura and Anahata, which are the source of vital energy and unconditional love.
The structure of the Tree of Life in the structure of the human soul. Macro- and Microcosm.
Hidden Sephira Daath, which means “Knowledge” corresponds to “Ajna”, whose projection on the body is located in the area between the eyebrows. This energy center is responsible for intuitive insights and inspirations. On the Tree of Sephiroth, this center is located on the border of two worlds. This boundary is called the "Abyss". The Abyss separates the mortal worlds from the immortal ones. Thus, it is here that the meeting of the eternal and the perishable takes place.
The highest Sephira is Keter., corresponds to the Sahasrara chakra, which opens the mind to the connection with the cosmos. The level of Sahasrara is the level of reunification with the Creator, a return to the original state of Unity.
In conclusion, it is worth saying that the Sephiroth Tree system contains much more information than could be presented in one article. Here are the answers to many questions of the universe, the algorithms of evolution of both society and an individual, both the whole world and an individual state, are displayed. Along the paths of the Tree, seekers rise with their consciousness to the Truth. And an ordinary person follows the same paths, living his life and making everyday choices. The tree is an ancient universal formula of the Universe, which they are trying so unsuccessfully to find in the world of science, and has long been found in the world of esotericism.
The Sephiroth tree is a tree that consists of sephira interconnected by arcana.
The tree of sephiroth is often attributed to the cabalistic model of worldview. In fact, the tree of sephiroth (or tree of life) does not belong to the Jews and the Kabala. We can find knowledge about it in almost any, more or less serious, esoteric teaching. Including in the teachings of the ancient Slavs, who called it the “tree of life.” It’s just that in the cabalistic model, knowledge about this tree has been preserved in a more complete manner (I do not claim that it is more correct), since this knowledge is considered key there. Kabbalists view the tree of sephiroth as a decomposition of the primary light into its constituent spectrum. The primary divine light, which enters the uppermost sephira Kether (Crown), further breaks down into Sephira and Arcana.
Sephira is a sphere, there are 10 such spheres on the tree (plus hidden spheres - sephira). These spheres - sephira - are connected to each other by lines - channels. These lines are channels and are called lassos. The Arcana connect the Sephira in a specific order. It is believed that this diagram of sephira and arcana describes the structure of the world. At the same time, this is a description of the consciousness of planet earth and human consciousness.
It is clear that this model is extremely simplified. It's the same as drawing a TV or computer device in the form of squares connected by arrows. Each sephira, although they are similar in appearance, carries different functions, which are usually called qualities. This sephira is much more complex than a TV block; each sephira is a whole world, similar to our world (the physical world in which our physical body lives). According to the cabalistic model, our world corresponds to the lowest sephira, the Malkuth sephira.
Since the tree of Sephiroth is also a model of a person, there are some attempts to combine the tree of Sephiroth and the chakra system of human bodies. For example, according to the model proposed by Boris Monosov, the level of the muladhara chakra corresponds to the Malkut sephira. That is, this is the position when consciousness is on the muladhara chakra. The Yesod sephira corresponds to the manipura chakra, and the Hod and Netzach sephiras, together with the 17th arcana, already belong to the level of the anahata chakra. And Tiphareth is already Vishuddha. And there is a certain meaning in this model, although there are also uncertainties here. For example, the svadhisthana chakra completely falls out of this model.
Consciousness is a multidimensional thing, so there is every reason to assume that the dimensionality of the Sephiroth tree is not limited to the plane. Although we see images of a tree on a plane, we can easily imagine a tree as a three-dimensional model. However, with the construction of a three-dimensional model, difficulties arise associated with the invariance of such constructions. From the position of multidimensionality, it is also possible to explain the identity of the Sephiroth tree and the Yggdrasil tree. Perhaps this is the same thing but in different dimensions.
Most teachings view the tree of Sephiroth as a path for ascension. There is a clear analogy here with the teachings of the Cabal that this is the path of descent of the primary light. Therefore, in order to return back to the light, we need to go the same way only from bottom to top.
Arcana- these are energy channels that connect different sephiras. Arcana are energies that flow between different worlds (sephiras), and these energies are also very difficult to understand by the human consciousness.
The flows of arcana can be compared with the flows of energy between two planets. Although another tree is believed to be responsible for planetary flows, Tree Yggdrasil, A Arcana tree of Sephiroth, these are energy flows that flow inside planet earth. However, there are attempts to combine these two trees. That is, some people believe that these two trees are one and the same. And from my point of view, this also makes sense. By the way Yggdrasil tree, also called the “Tree of Life”.
Such paths of ascension are the arcana of the tree of Sephiroth. Each lasso endows human consciousness with certain qualities or even sidhis inherent in this particular lasso. That is, when a person receives (develops) this quality, it is considered that he “took the lasso.” When delving deeper into taking this lasso, a person acquires sidhu (super ability) inherent in this particular lasso. It is believed that the description of the arcana is stored by Tarot cards. The Tarot deck consists of 78 cards, of which 22 cards are called the “Major Arcana”. It is these “22 Major Arcana of the Tarot” that are a description of the arcana of the Sephiroth tree. This description is enclosed in a symbolic form; there are no letters or words in this description. And it is believed that only meditation on a card can reveal to an adept of the path the hidden truth that is stored behind this card. Here the second meaning of the word map is revealed, which does not mean a playing card, but a map that describes the path to a specific point. The problem is that we do not know the original form in which these cards were created. Nowadays there are a huge number of Tarot decks. Which were created both by real mystics of the past and by outright mediocrities (the majority of them). There are also settings for the arcana, which we inherited from esotericists of past years who, like us, studied this topic. But all this work still needs to be carefully checked.
From some sources you can get information about the so-called paths of ascension. There will be three of them. The first is the Path of Osiris, the second is the Path of Isis, and the third is the Path of Horus. In the figure, the arcana of these paths are marked with multi-colored dots. At its core, these are 3 ways of grouping arcana. It can be assumed that it is this grouping of arcana that allows a person to develop the necessary qualities that he needs for ascension (the evolution of consciousness). (adzimor, weiknps)

Origin of the symbol "tree of Sephiroth"
Being familiar with Kabbalah, it is quite difficult to imagine that its Jewish adherents could themselves come up with such a complex symbol as the “tree of Sephiroth.” This is cast into doubt by the obvious fact that, in its essence, Kabbalah is not an independent occult tradition, but only its falsification. That is why it actually lacks its own original symbolism. The lack of symbols gave rise to such a shameful phenomenon as “Judaization” - the invention of a “Hebrew” origin for any of the most significant occult symbols. Starting with the famous formula “abracadabra” and ending with the “tree of Sephiroth”.
An attempt to “steal” a symbol you like, declaring it your own invention, is usually accompanied by distortion of the symbol’s form with the addition of some new elements. Therefore, in the image of the most popular “tree of sephiroth” in Western magic (Fig. 1), it is virtually impossible to recognize the symbol that became its prototype (from which the famous Kabbalistic tree was copied). Unless you compare it with the earlier version (Fig. 2):
The first image of this “tree of the Sephiroth” appeared on the title page of the Kabbalistic book “Portae Lucis” published in 1516. This is a Latin translation of the manuscript “Shaarei Ora” (Gate of Light) by Joseph Gikatilla (1248-1323), presumably written by him in 1290. The engraving serving as the title page (Fig. 2), as well as the translation, were made by a certain Paulus Ricius (d. 1541).
It is this image, judging by the location of the sephiroth and their connections, that is the very first version of the famous Kabbalistic tree. This can be argued since this figure is closest to the prototype symbol, which is not particularly difficult to recognize as the Pythagorean tetractys (Fig. 3). The figure clearly shows that the system of “paths” of the first six spheres fully corresponds to the connections of the tetractys points. Especially if you place (as in the drawing) the sixth sphere at the place where the lines begin to branch. Another 100% coincidence is the number of lines connecting the last four spheres (7, 8, 9 and 10). There are three of them in the tetractys and the same number on the “tree”. In addition, the total number of “kabbalistic paths” and tetractys lines is the same - eighteen.
It is not difficult to understand why tetractys was used as a prototype. First of all, it's logical. The idea of sefirot as numbers was borrowed by Jewish kabbalists from the Pythagoreans. Secondly, according to the teachings of the Pythagoreans, it is in the tetractys that the secret meaning of the decade is contained - the perfect number that makes up the sum of the first four numbers:
1+2+3+4=10
Thirdly, there have already been experiments in this area:
The usual, so to speak, is a classical Kabbalistic forgery (Fig. 4), in which the tetractys points are replaced by Hebrew letters, which already form the Tetragrammaton. The four letter name of the Hebrew god Yahweh (IHVH).
There's only one thing left to find out. Why were the tetractys points shifted in this particular way and not otherwise? And this is where the fun begins. The author of the engraving, as already mentioned, is Paulus Richius. A baptized Jew (Paulus Israelita), having converted to Christianity, he challenged the arguments of the Jews against his new religion, relying on the peculiarly presented Kabbalah. He, like Pico Della Mirandola (1463-1494), found evidence of Christian dogmas in Kabbalah. Actually this explains it all:
The first five spheres (sephiroth) form a triangle - a symbolic image of the Trinity. The remaining five are the Latin cross. These two figures, composed of points of the Pythagorean tetractys, constitute the entire “original” structure of the Kabbalistic “tree of the Sephiroth.” And here one cannot help but appreciate the peculiar joke of the author of the engraving - a Jewish Kabbalist holds a crucifix in his hands (essentially) and reflects on the properties of the sephiroth and, accordingly, the Christian Trinity.
The further “evolution” of the tree of Sephiroth among other Kabbalists goes as follows:
No. 1 Afanasy Kircher (1602 - 1680)
No. 2 Moses Cordovero (1522-1570)
No. 3 Isaac Luria (1534 -1572)
1. The structure of the “tree” changes somewhat. The Sephiroth are grouped into three "columns".
2. The number of “paths” increases to twenty-two. Everything is connected with the “brilliant” guess that the “paths” are Hebrew letters. As described in the Sefer Yetzira. True, it speaks of thirty-two paths, not twenty-two. Although how can such a trifle confuse a Kabbalist? They added ten sephiroth to them for good measure. So it turned out to be thirty-two. But they were unable to agree on where to place which letter. That's why this picture is different.
3. The eleventh, as it were, sephira “Daath” appears. It is not usually placed on the “tree” and owes its origin to the noted similarity of the first three (not five) sephiroth with the Christian Trinity. By adding “daat,” Jewish Kabbalists made this similarity less obvious. And again, not a single fresh thought. We just added another circle just above the place where the fork begins (in the initial version) - as usual, we weren’t smart enough to do more.
Here is the simple story of the origin of the “tree of Sephiroth” symbol, now so popular in Kabbalah.
1.
Kabbalistic Sephira
The Tree of Life exists everywhere, not as circles drawn on a piece of paper, nor as a philosophical construct. It exists in the human essence itself at different levels of existence.
LEVELS OF EXISTENCE
World of Atzilut(World of the Divine).
This spiritual world is the highest, closest to the Divine Essence. This means that no one exists there except the Almighty, and cannot exist in principle.
World of Briya(World of Creation).
This is the manifested world, which serves as a bridge between the higher world of Emanation and the lower world of formation, which is formed by the worlds of Yetzirah and Assiya. Abode of the Archangels.
World of Yetzirah(Formation World).
This is the world of archetypes, the abode of all the ruling Geniuses (or Angels) who govern and govern the planets, worlds and spheres.
World Asia(Action World)
Our material world, in the lower part of which is the world of the Klipot, the “demonic kingdom”, which form disharmonious energies.
FIVE PARTS OF THE HUMAN SOUL (essence).
Khia- The divine spark in man (Holy Guardian Angel).
Yechida- the highest spiritual level of the soul, a person’s desire for the Divine.
Neshama- an element of the human soul associated with the intellectual comprehension of the Divine.
Ruach- the second element of the human soul, awakening in those moments when it manages to rise above human nature. Reason, the Power of Thought, which has the Knowledge of Good and Evil..
Nefesh- the lowest element of the human soul, directly connected with the body. Nephesh enters the body of every person at the moment of his birth and serves as the source of all his animal vitality and psychophysical functions.

10 SEPHIROT
Tree of Life consists of 10 spheres forming 3 triangles: the top one is directed upwards, the other two are directed downwards, and the lower sphere is, as it were, suspended from the triangles. The lines connecting the spheres are numbered from 11 to 32 - these are the paths of the Tree of Life.
The spheres are called Sephiroth (plural of sephira).
Sephiroth (singular part of sephira, “number”), the central idea of Kabbalah. The term was created by the author of the Sefer Yetzirah, who defined it as ten primordial or ideal “numbers.” In Kabbalistic literature it was used in a much broader sense and signifies the ten stages of emanation issued by the Infinite, forming the realm of the manifestation of God in his various attributes.
The ten Sephiroth are arranged in the following order:
1. Keter Elion("Highest Crown"), or Keter("Crown")
2. Chokmah("Wisdom"),
3. Bina("Intelligence")
4. Gdula("Greatness") or Hesed("Mercy")
5. Geburah("Power") or Dean("Court")
6. Tiphareth(“Brilliance”) or Rachamim("Mercy")
7. Netzach("Longsuffering")
8. Move("Greatness")
9. Tzaddik("Righteous") or Yesod Olam("The Foundation of the World")
10. Malkuth("Kingdom") or Atara("Diadem")
Each sephira points to an aspect of God in His quality as the Creator, forming at the same time a whole world of Divine light in the chain of being.
For me, the Sephiroth tree has always seemed like something incomprehensible to the mind. But you can figure everything out if you want.
The Tree of Sephiroth “grows” in an unusual way - with its branches down, the root of everything that exists is at the top. From these worlds the first principles descend to the cognizing person.
The tree is present in all creations and reconciles contradictions, balancing them in the system.
The Tree of Sephiroth consists of 10 spheres (sephira/sephiroth), arranged in layers and interconnected by arcana (line-channels).
The two extreme spheres, upper and lower, are opposite to each other and are equalized, balanced in the third. Movement along the tree occurs both from top to bottom and from bottom to top. From above (from the 1st sephira to the 10th) there is a movement from the ideal form of energy to its manifestation in the physical world. The movement from bottom to top (from the 10th sephira to the 1st) is the counter movement of a seeking soul walking along the Path of purification and comprehension of the Truth.
The theological idea behind the Sephiroth is the barrier between the infinity of the Creator and the soul of man. Kabbalah says that a person cannot accept the spiritual “light” as it is, and therefore, before it reaches a person, it must be “shrinked”, passing through the layers of Sephiroth.
The tree of sephiroth is often referred to as a Kabbalistic model of worldview. In fact, we can find Knowledge about it in almost any more or less serious esoteric teaching. Including in the teachings of the ancient Slavs, who called it the “tree of life.” It’s just that in the Kabbalistic model, knowledge about this tree was preserved more fully, since this knowledge is considered key there. Kabbalists view the tree of Sephiroth as the decomposition of the primary light into its constituent spectrum. The primary divine light, which enters the uppermost sephira Kether (Crown), further breaks down into Sephira and Arcana.
Brief description of each sephira:
Keter(Crown, Crown; planet Uranus; Svadhisthana chakra; color purple; sphere figure; number one)
The first of the sephira is Kether , "crown". Its number is one; it cannot be divided, but it can be designated. One gives birth to all other numbers. Kether is the starting point, the moment of the birth of the universe. Keter is complete calm and serenity, the original spark of the Creator, the impulse for creation.
Chokmah(Wisdom, planet Neptune/Phaethon/Zodiac; Ajna chakra; color gold; number two)
The second of the Sephira is called Chokmah, meaning "wisdom". The energy of Chokmah is active, dynamic and limitless. Chokmah is the driving force of the universe, setting in motion everything that is in it. Chokmah is a positive, masculine energy similar to the creation energy of the Horned God in Wicca. The symbol of this sephira is the circle of the Zodiac, along which, by the way, the Sun passes in the annual cycle. According to one point of view, it is more correct to associate the second sephiroth with a planet instead of the zodiac Phaeton, which ceased to exist 30,000 years ago and caused an apocalypse on Earth and Mars, now in its place is an asteroid belt. In the summer in July, when the earth enters the Perseid meteor shower, we can observe how meteors - particles of this planet burn up in the atmosphere before reaching the surface. Numerous ancient myths recorded this event as the death of human civilization. According to another opinion, there is another sephira Daat, which is hidden. Daat symbolizes "Knowledge" and it is precisely to this that the planet Phaethon is put in correspondence. It is hidden and therefore has no number in the Tree of Life.
Bina(Understanding, Reason, Intelligence; planet Saturn; Ajna chakra; color gold; number three)
The feminine opposite of Chokmah, the third Sephira, Binah, means "understanding". She is symbolized by the Great Goddess, who gave life to everything that is in the universe. Together Chokmah and Binah are the Dual powers of manifestation. They are the 2 cornerstones of life that began the process of creation. Bina corresponds to the planet Saturn, and in astrology secondary, The closest manifestation of Saturn to the world of people is the Moon.
Hesed(Mercy, planet Jupiter, Vishuddha chakra; color emerald purple; tetrahedron figure; number four)
The fourth sephira is Hesed, or "mercy". Chesed is the support of everything that has manifestation. This is the center where abstract energies poured out by higher forces materialize and take shape. Chesed, like Chokmah, also symbolizes positive, masculine energy, but on a more manifest and material level. All manifestations of parental love and mercy towards humanity are associated with Chesed. True, Hesed makes absolutely no difference to whom one shows mercy and gives energy, because this sephira gives the life-giving beginning of life in any of its forms. Planet – Jupiter.
Geburah(Severity, Valor, Heroism, Power; planet Mars, Vishuddha chakra; color emerald-violet; octahedron figure; number five)
The fifth sephira, Geburah, means "power" or "severity". Geburah distributes the energy emanating from Chesed and imposes restrictions in the form of purifying fire. The energy coming from the higher world to the world of matter must be filtered and shaped by opposing forces - Mercy and Severity. Geburah is also called the “Strong Hand of the Creator,” burning out everything that is useless and unnecessary. It clears the way for further growth and evolution. Geburah corresponds to the planet Mars.
Tiphareth(Beauty, Luxury; Sun; Anahata chakra; color white; dodecahedron figure; number six)
The sixth sephira, Tiphareth, means "beauty". She receives powers from all the other sephira and is connected to all except Malkuth. Tiphareth is in many ways similar to Kether, but passes through a level closer to the material world. Like Kether, she radiates the energy of light, calmness, and perfection. Tiphareth is the connecting link between the Highest manifestation of the divine and its reflection in man. This sephira is often symbolized by God the sacrifice, who gives himself to death for the sake of the emergence of new sprouts of the spiritual in man. Tiphareth is associated with all manifestations of mysticism and human love for the Gods. Planet – Sun.
Netzach(Victory, Eternity; planet Venus; Manipura chakra; color emerald green; figure seven-pointed star; number seven)
Netzach, or "victory"- the kingdom of human instincts, emotions and passions. It is considered a masculine, fiery sephira, a driving force that encourages decisive and desperate actions. Netzach is a reflection of Geburah on the human level of perception. Human creativity in artistic, emotional form, music, dance, art - belong to the influence of Netzach. Planet – Venus.
Move(Glory, Majesty, Splendor; planet Mercury; Manipura chakra; color pink; number eight)
Went "glory", it is the intellectual, logical and rational part of the human mind. This sephira organizes, subjects to logical analysis and classifies all phenomena in us and around us. All manifestations of speech and writing, communication, science belong to this sephira. The eighth sephira has energy from Chesed that passed through Tiphareth. Planet – Mercury.
Yesod(Base, Base; planet Moon; Svadhisthana chakra; color yellow; icosahedron figure; number nine)
Yesod or "base"- Sephira of the astral plane, akash. Yesod is the astral matrix on which the physical universe is built, and at the same time the mirror in which the universe is reflected. Energies from all the overlying sephira come to Yesod, and in it they are combined into a pattern according to which our world is built. Therefore, human intuition, dreams and visions are associated with Yesod. Planet – Moon.
Malkuth(Kingdom, Kingdom; planet Earth; Muladhara chakra; color blue; cube figure; number ten)
The tenth Sephira, Malkuth, or "kingdom", the Sephira of material creation, finite form, is the universe that we know and exist in. Malkuth is the sephira of the Earth as a physical body, a planet, and the people living on it. Unlike other sephiroth, which are in a state of continuous activity and change, this sephira is relatively stable in essence and form. It absorbs all the energies of the Tree and transmits it into matter. Naturally, it symbolizes Earth.
