| Mystical Musical Meditations from Jerusalem |
The MMM this week has two themes regarding the time period we’re in right now. One of them is the crossing of the Red Sea, the interesting consciousnesses of that event. But more important to me is I also want to discuss some deep truths about the Sephirot.
First, we need to understand about these things called
Sephirot and how they affect our lives, just in an introductory way. So, here
are some introductory points for our understanding of Sephirot:
1. The Sephirot form a bridge between G-d and man. They are
one of the bridges (not the only bridge) allowing G-d to communicate with man.
One other example of bridges are the Hebrew letters, and of course Torah is a bridge
as well.
The Sephirot are a way to understand any process and any
structure from their Divine, pristine inception. They form a bridge between
Divinity and Humanity.
2. The Sephirot also form an ideal template for all
processes and structures: the beginning, middle and end; the head, the body,
the feet. The Sephirot provide a way to organize any information and profession
in the world, any any personal relationship or situation in the world.
Once you have knowledge of the Sephirot, you have the
ultimate wisdom and use of the template for any purpose. And the template can
be adapted and adjusted for the best results.
3. The Sephirot are lined up into triads, consisting of
left, right and center. These triads are connecting, disconnecting and
interconnecting, all with a natural movement towards harmony between disparate,
polarized forces. Bringing harmony is an important function the Sephirot serve.
4. The Sephirot bring things and situations from a partial
reality to a whole reality and allow us to see a greater part of a whole
picture in just part of the picture. This helps a person to see and understand wholeness.
5. The Sephirot allow a person to connect different
dimensions. No Sephira is lost and alone by itself in a void. That’s not how the
Sephirot work. They work as a team, and a small team becomes part of a greater
team, and then an even greater team, etc. ad infinitum. This works in a macro
way and a micro way as well, unfolding larger or collapsing smaller.
But inside everything is a whole, complete team, a persona.
And they are all interconnected. Like a doctor of Chinese medicine is able to
affect various body parts with acupuncture and acupressure, a master of the
Sephirot knows where the connections are and where to exert pressure to achieve
healing.
6. The Sephirot are a key to lateral, associative thinking. We
don’t just understand one Sephira, but all its parallels and analogs forming
other templates. And they are all effective, one within the other.
Once we understand the entire Sephirot model we can
understand the whole person, not unlike their genetic model providing
information.
7. Sephirotic consciousness means we put on our “Sephirotic
glasses” and change our perception. Matter becomes spirit, nouns become verbs, constructs
become openness, all turning our lives into much more vital reality. A master
of the Sephirot is like a master of music who is able to read and interpret complex
musical scores into a profound symphony. Like that, a master of the Sephirot
can read and assess the Sephirotic reality and bring the whole thing into understanding.
The Sephirot are not static information, they are like the beautiful
notes produced by a symphony orchestra. The Sephirot are the language of
Kabbalah, and they are the way the Zohar speaks about all life, the forms and
qualities and aspects of it. The Sephirot are the key to understanding the
mystical dimension, the fixing and adjusting of all reality.
As a Divine bridge, the Sephirot teach us how to heal
anything and everything, like a tuning fork tuning the world into the perfect
pitch. With the use of our Sephirotic glasses, we can take disparate things
that don’t seem to connect and bridge them. The Sephirot add life, color and
richness to everything.
