	bahir
		The Sefer Bahir, the misnamed Book of Clarity, is the first major Kabbalistic text, composed in Provence in the second half of the twelfth century.
		True light, according to the Bahir, is hidden light, the light that was stored away on the first day of creation for the righteous in the world to come, and for those who have mystical foreshadowings of it.
		Towards the end of the Bahir, in a complex discussion of the date palm, it transpires that inwardly God is female,while outwardly God is male.

	Bahir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bahir (Hebrew for "Illumination") is a pseudonymous mystical work attributed to Nehunya ben ha-Kanah, a first century rabbinic sage, and a contemporary of Johanan ben Zakkai (first century), because it begins with the words, "R. Nehunya ben ha-Kanah said".
		The Bahir assumes the form of an exegetic midrash on the first chapters of Genesis.
		The "Bahir" adopts the concept of reincarnation to solve the question of why the just may suffer in this world, while the wicked may be prosperous: "The just may have been wicked in their former lives, and the wicked righteous."

		A young town by Ethiopian standards, Bahir Dar is a cheerful and relaxing place, combining the bustle of town life with the gentler pace of rural suburbs.
		Bahir Dar literally means "By the Sea", appropriately so, given its location by the shores of Lake Tana, Ethiopia's largest lake and the second largest in Africa.
		With its benign climate and unrivalled location, there is much for the visitor: a 'siesta' in one of the lake-side gardens, a short-walk to the sweeping flow of the Blue Nile river, a boat trip to nearby island monastries, or the mighty 'Tississat Falls', some 30km down-stream on the Blue Nile.

		It is possible that the author of the Bahir knew of Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra’s theory of the kavod as described in the latter’s commentary to Exodus 33 (Sections 128-129 of the Sefer ha-Bahir display awareness of Ibn Ezra’s terminology).
		In many passages the Bahir describes the figure of the Queen, the Bride, the Sister, the Wife, the Daughter, and the Matron who stands at the side of the masculine divine power, usually the King.
		The Bahir is the first Jewish mystical work to introduce the idea that sexual and familial symbolism is appropriate for the description of the essence of the divine realm.

	Cathars and the Kabbalah
		The Bahir, one of the older and most profound of all Kabbalistic texts was well received on many fronts in the Languedoc.
		The Bahir thus tells us that the totality of God's powers constitutes not only a tree of souls from which the souls of the righteous fly out and to which they apparently return, but a tree that also depends upon the deeds of the elect of Israel (or the Pneumatics of the Gnostics).
		The creator God or Demiurge of the Cathars is identical with Satan, has a form and figure in which he appears to the prophets; while on other hand, the true and good God imperceptible to the eye and for all practical purposes is unknowable to the hylic mortals.
