What Is God Really LIke?

We are looking at the Natiure of Deity before Creation as symbolized by the Tree of LIfe Teaching symbol.  I hope this clears up some confusion for new Seekers who are reading this.  See the Tree of LIfe Diagram Explained by Arrwyn to understand where the  Sephiroth and Paths are to be found.

Kether is crown and symbolizes Divinity, whole and entire, without division.  The ovals often depicted around the Tree of life in which this appears are the negative existence stages from the ethereal realms too holy and insubstantial for us to comprehend: Ain (Nothing), Ain Soph (Infinity)  and Ain Soph Aur (Limitless light).  They are ovals drawn around the diagram, which are not included here because they only apply to the state of the Cosmos before there was a Universe.  The book needed for details is Sepher Sephiroth.  Metaphysical bookstores have copies or maybe these days the information can be downloaded from the internet.

In the Lessons to follow the catagories will have translated English names for the concepts they represent and numbers for the Gematria and an attribute for each letter. We will get to that in detail as the lessons proceed. The Paths are numbered and all that will be explained.  See the thumbnail picture for the diagram I have managed to upload for you.

Knowledge leads to Understanding and Understanding leads to Wisdom; or so it is hoped. In Kether or the Crown we find the First Generted the Logos,  as Christ taught Judas who wasn't the bad guy after all.  Read his Gospel published by the National Geographic publishers. Or read the discussion on the Gospel of Judas that is published by me, Arrwyn, on Bukisa.

As the First Generated (Logos) disturbed the absolute stillness with thought, the vibration of that energy caused Motion, the first Iniquity (Disturbance).  This lead to the Big Bang that is still in progress.  For the best information about this process, Stephen W. Hawking’s lectures were the best source available.  He is one of the brightest persons on the globe in the scientific world.  He and his colleagues are the top informational sources we have on this subject.  What a wonderful society we live in that these lectures by Stephen in person are available at the local library on an audio book!  (He has a wonderful sense of humor, by the way, if one only allows one’s self to see the humor and laugh.).

Back to the point: The Hot Big Bang model is accepted as the best model of what happened and asserts that the beginning of the Big Bang was HOT, millions of millions of degrees of heat.  All energy was in a compressed state and exploded at just the correct temperature, within a thousandth of a millionth of a million degrees of heat to disperse the energy around to create a universe that would spread out to form the universe we live in.  A thousandth of a millionth of a millionth degree too much and the universe would be empty now and too little would have caused the whole works to collapse upon itself. Stephen W. Hawking theorizes that Deity was needed to direct this exact explosion to create a universe that could evolve into worlds where beings like ourselves could exist.  We are dealing here with what did happen in our universe, not the possibilities that could have happened.
The first waves during the first second were at the temperatures of atomic bomb explosions, with photons (“Let there be light.”) and a few atomic particles that created more photons to perpetuate the expansion of energy to fuel the ongoing spread of the potential universe. Cooling then to the temperatures of stars the expansion progressed with neutrons and protons cooling to a few degrees above Absolute Zero. (It was once thought the universe started cold.) This allowed the basics to spread out and coalesce into galaxies with a spiral motion as a side effect of the clumping together now that the energy is insufficient to break the quantum gravitational pull.  This was the first million years of activity.

The interesting thing is, Stephen goes on to explain, is that for this to go about the scientists discovered they needed a devise of imaginary time to deal with the process to formulate  no boundaries in the Space/Time continuum universe.  They concluded that time is an artificial measure we create to deal with the world as we live it.   This author postulates that the “imaginary” time is the time that Deity works with in Its own consciousness and science is just catching up.

This was the function of the first Generated, to create a universe we can all live in and it had to be timed to a tinest fraction to make this universe last long enough to make solar systems and not just empty out like a spilled rain barrel.

The Universe is still being made with energy converting to matter as needed.  Hydrogen atoms are still forming as the universe is still growing.  This modern set of theories was taught with the Tree of Life information in the Thirteen hundreds to initiating Knights, preserved from the earlier traditions whose beginnings date back to the time of Christ. Codified, it was a college-level education in Mystery Schools that proliferated in France during the Cathar era and beyond.  They saw the nature of Deity as the First Cause, intelligent, aware, loving and eternal.  Science backs up the causal notion and awareness seems to be present, too, with the timing involved. WE       see Karma at wrok teaching humanity what to value and Loving is part of Karma or Ceity would not care if we learn how to be happy and harmonious.

You see, this knowledge is the culmination of many cultures over millennia of civilizations and agreed upon by mystics, philosophers and the intelligentsia and encoded the learning into this teaching symbol. This is the esoteric wisdom taught to the future King of the Jews and updated as time went on.  The Symbol does make an easy way to deal with the huge body of knowledge incorporated into the symbol.  Not alone in this methodology, the Sufi have a Tree of Life; many cultures do and for the same reasons as the Tree found here does.

Kether is the Crown for a reason:  Kether, Crown, is the top of the Head of the Archetypical man, Adam Kadmon, imposed into the diagram, and is “Father,” so called by Yeshua. This is the white light depicting Divinity, the Monad.  This is the whole that encompasses all else in Creation. Further, this is the “World” of Atziluth: Pure idea or thought.

The next Sephira downward is Chokmah, Wisdom, which is female, please note. This is  raw energy, the primal essence.  The name of Wisdom is Sophia, the decoding of “Baphomat,” used by the Knights Templar to hide their wisdom, deemed too good for the uninitiated.

Binah is next; Understanding, and the directed energy that Creation comes from. These three Sephiroth are the Triune attributes that form Deity in our explanations of such a concept.
These two principles of Chokmah and Binah are Briah, the second world: Essence, Creation. These and the  Crown for the Trinity or Supernals as taught ages ago.  Below this level is the World of Formation,  Yetzirah composed of Geburah, Chesed, Tiphareth, Netzach, Hod and Yesod.  These concepts of Severity, Mercy, Glory adn Beauty, victory, Splendor, and Foundation respectively form this world of spiritual development and finally a world of Physicality, Actuality in the world we inhabit.
That World of Actuality is Assiah, and is the Sephira Malkuth, Kingdom.  All this is is created in the Mind of Deity, as are we.

This is a lot to take in so I will pause here while you study up what has been revealed.
