On
the Spheres of the Tree of Life
Gareth Knight
Geburah
(The Chains)
This Sephirah is of adjustment and assessment. A sphere of absolute and
unmitigated truth.
| Architect's
Note : Area of Rainbow Light.

One could say that it
would have been in the light of Geburah that on the 7 days of creation,
G-D looked at what he had done ... good.
There is an aspect of Gerburah known as "The Hall of Justice"
or "Hall of the Lord of Karma". Justice:- as the perfect balance
between mercy and severity, is properly assigned to Daat, the conjunction
of Chokmah and Binah.
The aspect of Gerburah can be imagined as a Great Hall, completely empty,
but radiant throughout with scarlet light. Justice, not Judgement, no
sentence in pronounced... Silence reigns supreme. The silence of Binah,
understanding.... to which Gerburah is united.
Tiphareh
Tiphareh is the central sephirah of the Tree of Life, the keystone of
the whole creation, holding the balance between all the other sephiroth
which it connects: between G-D in the highest in Kether and the physical
universe of malcut, between the upper and the lower poles of the psyche
in Daat and Yesod between the opposites of Chokmah and Binah, Chesed and
Hod, Geburah and Netzach.
| Architect's
Note : Central structural supports from which the structure emanates,
is held up and held together. |
There are 2 sides to
this sephirah and is a linking sephirah, reconciling the upper to lower
tree.
| Architect's
Note : Linking to Netzah and Hod. |
