Topic: Chokmah (Kabbalah)

	Kabbalah
		Kabbalah, which is the spelling usually preferred by scholars, specifically refers to oral mystical teaching not normally revealed to the general population, but passed on from the adepts to the initiates.
		Although the Kabbalah is founded on the Torah, the Jewish scriptures and other sacred writings, it is no intellectual discipline; and the mystic is not to practice it in solitude, but is to employ it to enlighten humanity.
		The Kabbalah, which is based on the theory of the soul's descent from and ascent to God, is made up of ten sephirots instead of nine which is due to the influence of the Pythagorean theory.

		The archangel of Chokmah is Ratziel, the Herald of the Deity.
		It is difficult to grasp the nature of Chokmah and Binah from symbols alone, just as it is difficult to grasp interstellar distances, the energy output of a star, the number of stars in a galaxy, and the number of galaxies visible to us.

	Byzant Kabbalah - Paths on the Tree of Life
		Judaic Kabbalah often employs a Tree with a slight variation in path placements, but esoteric tradition is fairly consistent in presenting the Tree as above.
		There is a natural tendency to view the Tree as a series of discrete objects rather than as the unified, undifferentiated whole it actually is, and the paths allow us to begin the process of reintegrating the Tree by exploring the relationships between pairs of sefirot.
		The Tarot and the Kabbalah discusses the relationship between the 78 cards of the Tarot and the Tree of Life, and includes a diagram showing the attributions of the paths.

		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.
		Just for the sake of trying to grasp the complex ingenuity of the Kabbalah system these worlds are explained as being end to end, maybe not a "revolving" system as I stated in the last essay, but definitely one that "recycles".
		Chokmah is ultimate male, the gem should be high on the scale.

	Christian Wicca: Kabbalah Overview
		The word 'Kabbalah' is Hebrew for “that which is received” referring to the knowledge of and inspired by The Divine.
		Due to the complex nature of the Kabbalah, Hebrew males were forbidden to study this mystical work until the age of 40.
		It is believed that studying the Kabbalah earlier in life would have serious mental repercussions; the vessel, which Kabballist call the human body and receiving mind, is not mentally ready to comprehend the depth of the Tree of Life.

		The kabbalah itself was only an oral tradition until the 13th century when it was published in The Zohar, commonly credited to Rabbi Moses de Leon (although Rabbi de Leon claims to have merely found the manuscript).
		However, it must be noted that what the kabbalah is to the common western mystic is often somewhat different to how it is apprehended by traditional Jewish kabbalists.
		Hermetic kabbalah had at least 300 jears of development independent of jewish kabbalah, and is a valid system in itself.

		Kabbalah: From the Hebrew word QBL meaning 'an oral tradition', the esoteric and mystical division of Judaism.
		The Kabbalah presents a symbolic explanation of the origin of the universe, the relationship of human beings to the Godhead, and an emanationist approach to creation whereby the Infinite Light (AIN SOPH AUR) manifests through different SEPHIROTH on the TREE OF LIFE.

		This is a representation of the thirty-two "paths" comprised of the ten sefirot and the twenty-two paths through which they interrelate (introduced in our Introduction to the Kabbalah).
		Though the tree may be drawn with variations in the location of paths - particularly in pure, Judaic Kabbalah - esoteric tradition is consistent in presenting the tree as above, with the paths in the positions shown.
		Before leaving the pillars, let us reiterate their use as a means to synthesize the Kabbalah with threefold systems.

	Origins and Basic Information
		The Kabbalah presents a symbolic explanation of the origin of the universe, the relationship of human beings to the Godhead, and an emanationist approach to creation whereby the Infinite Light manifests through different sephiroth on the Tree of Life.
		The four aces are Kether; the four twos are Chokmah; the four threes are Binah; the four fours are Chesed; the four fives are Geburah; the four sixes are Tiphareth; the four sevens are Netzach; the four eights are Hod; the four nines are Yesod; and the four tens are Malkuth.
		Practitioners of western magic, who use the Tree of Life as a glyph for the unconscious mind, sometimes distinguish the magical path (which embraces all ten sephiroth) from the mystical path of the middle pillar, which is an ascent from Malkuth through Yesod and Tiphareth to Kether on the central pillar of the Tree.

		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..
		Many of the source texts of Kabbalah are commentaries on the Bible, and derive their insights using a variety of devices, such as puns, anagrams, gematria (letter manipulations) and cross references to the same word in different contexts.
		Kabbalah was progressively bundled with Pythagoreanism, Neoplatonism, Hermeticism and Rosicrucianism to form a snowball which continued to pick up traditions as it rolled down the centuries.

		I have noted your tremendous desire to ascend to the ladder of wisdom and perceive enigmas and grasp the cunning ways of the ancient Sages, the masters of inscriptions, those who expounded upon the secrets of the souls.
		Here we see what many students of the Kabbalah (both Jewish and non-Jewish alike) fail to understand: that is, it is based primarily on the Masorah or oral, rather than written transmission prior to its redaction as the Zohar by R. Moshe de Leon in approximately the 13th century.

		O R I G I N S Kabbalah: From the Hebrew word QBL meaning 'an oral tradition', the esoteric and mystical division of Judaism.
		In the Kabbalah, all manifestations are said to have their origin in the AIN SOPH AUR and the successive emanations of the Godhead reveal aspects of his divine nature.
		It is therefore symbolized in mystical tradition by the heavenly ANDROGYNE (male and female united in one), and represents a state of mystical Transcendence and union with the Supreme.

	Kabbalah, Shekhinah, Messiah
		The concept of En Sof as the undifferentiated Absolute beyond comprehension is key to the identity of the Kabbalah as an esoteric study, since it implies that even biblical conceptions of God do not reveal the true nature of the infinite source of the universe.
		In Kabbalah study, Judaism comes closest to the systems of the Eastern religions, particularly in its teachings on emanation and the male and female principles.
		In the Kabbalah the Deity manifests simultaneously as Mother and Father and thus begets the Son.

		The triad of Binah, Chokmah and Kether are a Kabbalistic representation of the manifest God.

		A river or spring metaphor is often used for Chokmah, to emphasise the continuous nature of creation.
