However, it should not be assumed that Kabbalah is entirely Hebrew by any means. Relating Man with God by mathematics is a very ancient idea, and Semitic scholars only developed their version of it, which proved very practical and based on the soundest principles. Once the decimal scheme became clear to non-Semites interested in occult philosophy, the Tree-idea grew very greatly. It was used chiefly for classifying and coding specific spiritual themes under group-headings, so that each Sphere, and later the Paths between them, became one of such headings under which vast amounts of material could be stored rather like a filing cabinet or a computer. Thus in theory one only had to think hard enough at any heading or “key” and access could be gained to all that followed in that category of consciousness. Of course this meant an enormous amount of work while “programming” the scheme, but Kabbalists thought this well worth the effort for the sake of what they gained from it.

If mankind as a whole, or sufficient individual members of it should ever attain a spiritual state of what might be regarded as “Perfection,” this world as we know it would become extinct for us, and the pattern of the Tree would revert back to its “pre-Fall”. The tenth Sphere would become the ninth, and the ninth and the sixth move up to the present sixth and fourth positions respectively. Thus what was the sixth Sphere will then become the fourth, or “Bridging Sphere” or Da’at across the deep Abyss of darkness and ignorance, illuminating everything by its clear light directly reflecting Understanding and Wisdom throughout the inner universe. The other Spheres will change numbers but not natures, and the whole of Creation will become a model of perpetual motion or 100% efficient energy. Everlasting existence.

Our ideal immortality may be a very long way from us yet, but if individuals are to begin the process, then the sooner we start climbing the Tree of Life the better. It all begins by learning the primer of spiritual awareness consisting of the ten fundamental ideas behind Life Itself, the four ways of bringing them into concrete and objective consciousness, and the triplicity of their combinations. Just as the three primary colours of red, yellow and blue with white for light and black for dark can paint any picture you can conceive, or the letters of the alphabet tell any story you can imagine, so will the fundamentals of the Kabbalistic Tree of life explain everything about human-Divine relationships you want or need to know. Yet yours is the responsibility for learning how to relate these with each other in the right ways. So start by getting them firmly and deeply enough in your mind and soul before you begin wondering what to do with them later. Even Einstein had to begin by counting 1, 2, 3, 4, and Shakespeare by learning how to write A, B, C, D. Methodology is all very well, but until the basic components of any method can be put together properly, they have to be completely comprehended in the first place.

Therefore begin at the beginning by appreciating the step-by-step means by which God was assumed to descend the Tree towards a state of man, creating those same steps as He went. Although the terminology used is antique, its ideology is timeless. Note especially that above the Abyss there is only pure consciousness, while below it we encounter definite qualities followed by feelings and emotions concentrating into the penultimate Sphere of Yesod before being projected as a concrete whole at Malchut the kingdom, which we pray in the Lord’s Prayer may come upon our Earth if and when His will is worked here as it is in Heaven or Keter. That is to say if ever we become as the Lord intended us to be in the first place, our work will be fulfilled and everything put into proper proportions again.
In order to enhance the notion of Spheres for visually oriented people, non-Semitic scholars of Kabbalah invented “personifications” to go with each Sphere which seemed suitable to the nature of each. From top to bottom, these are:

0 Ayn Sof Aur. No visible image.

1 Keter, Crown or summit. A bearded head of an ancient and crowned King seen in right profile. This was because it is said: “He is all right. In Him there is no left hand path.”

2 Chochmah, Wisdom. A wise looking elder holding a Book of the Law.

3 Binah, Understanding. A throned matriarch, expressing comprehension.

4 Chesed, Mercy. A cheerfully benevolent uncrowned but throned King.

5 Gevurah, Severity. An armed warrior, usually in a chariot.

6 Tiferet, Beauty. Three related figures which are really the same Divine King at different stages. First a young naked child (incarnation), second a crucified body (Sacrifice), third a crowned and robed Priest-King (Transformation). The Birth, Death and Resurrection
of Sacred Kings.

7 Netzach, Victory. A beautiful young woman with a palm branch.

8 Hod, Glory. An hermaphrodite with the grace of both sexes.

9 Yesod, Foundation. A naked and virile man.

10 Malchut, the Kingdom. A young female representing Nature clothed as a Bride,because nature was regarded as the proper mate of Mankind symbolised by the Shechinah or visible signs of the presence of God on Earth, personified as an attractive female.
