Divine Lights
I won’t be discussing orthodox Kabbalah in detail, just a synopsis mostly. But I will answer more specific questions as best I can. Kabbalah is in a sense a form of theurgy. In it, God is infinite and includes all things, all potentials, and is in the purest sense unknowable. In it, all aspects of…

Process Of Development
At each of the stages in Kabbalah, God is considered to have reflected on that stage of it’s expression. I use the gender neutral term because God is seen as both male and female, and this step of considering what it discovered gives rise to lower intelligences we have come to know as angelic powers.…

Reverse The Course Of Ignorance
The story of humanities exile from Eden is reflected in the Kabbalah. In the primal state, humanity existed in a way that was little differentiated from nature.

Category: Tree Of Life
God is infinite and includes all things, all potentials, and is in the purest sense unknowable. We are the observers of the lights of God. Not a single light, but ten such lights. The sephira serve as ten categories for everything in existence. The sephira constitute not only cosmic forces but moral forces as well. They arise as a result of God taking different forms in order to fully express its full potential.
The purpose of Kabbalism as a teaching and practice is to reverse the course of human ignorance and turn to harmony with God. But it happens in stages. The reason for examining patterns in the tree of life is they reflect a tendency of how life events unfold. How people and things develop. The insights arrived at as one explores the tree of life inside themselves can seem miraculous.
“The pure impulse of dynamic creation is formless; and being formless, the creation it gives rise to can assume any and every form.” Kabbalah
