THE TREE OF LIGHT

The knowledge on this website is essentially based on the higher knowledge that descends from the higher worlds of Spiritual Light or Awareness. This higher knowledge is also known in Hebrew as Kabbalah or knowledge that is received from above and transmitted.

God is the En-Sof-Aur or Endless Light. But Within God [Father] is the Word of God [Son]. The Word of God is God's image or Man. This image is depicted as the perfectly balanced or harmonious Tree of Light or Life. So, the whole universe is within the consciousness of man. The Tree of Light is a map of this consciousness. Man can ascend or descend on this map.

The tree consists of four worlds, three pillars and ten Sefiroths or Vessels of Light. Like a prism, which diffracts natural Light, these Worlds, Pillars and Vessels manifest the Splendor of God's spiritual Light throughout the universe.  We experience these qualities of God inwardly and we witness their effects ourwardly.

The middle Pillar is the Pillar of of God's will, Freedom and Equilibrium. God continually wills to create the universe and other beings out of pure LOVE which is His Will. The whole universe is motivated by Love. And this Love must always be FREEDOM itself. Now, FREEDOM is an Equilibrium between Order and Chaos. If we could just do whatever we wanted in the universe, there would be total Chaos. And if there were too many laws of order, there would be infinite resistance. And we would not be able to do anything. So, we can do whatever we like as long as we obey spiritual Law which is Balance. That means we must take the welfare of others into consideration. So, the left Pillar produces resistance which balances the activity of the right Pillar. This is analogous to a useful electrical circuit which includes potential and resistance in order to produce an electrical current.   The fear of God that is spoken about in the Bible comes from the left Pillar which keeps us from transgressing spiritual Law. When we transgress the Law, we punish ourself through guilt, shame, remorse and suffering. If we obey the Law, then we are Free to Love God and all other beings and to use spiritual LAW for the good of All.

EMANATION------- The World of Reality or Emanation is the highest realm which consists of the CROWN of AWARENESS, WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING.  WISDOM is the Word of God or the Pattern Man, Heaven, which eternally flows into the vessel of UNDERSTANDING. In this World is the infinite Grace or Love of God. The Father judges no man and all is already forgiven in this realm of Perfection. So, God always sees every being as holy and perfect.

CREATION----------The Perfect Idea, which contains all possibilities, then flows into the second world of Creation, where concepts and ideas take shape. MERCY is Kindness or forgiveness, JUDGMENT is righteousness and BEAUTY is justice. All good and useful ideas must be perfectly balanced in justice.

FORMATION--------Ideas are then clothed or formed in the spiritual substance of feelings in the world of Formation. VICTORY is expansion, GLORY is contraction and FOUNDATION is vibration. Harmonious breathing is a perfect balance between inhaling and exhaling. Sharing is a perfect balance between giving and receiving graciously. Stable, harmonious vibrations and feelings result from the perfect balance between respecting the LAW and using it creatively for the good of All. This can only be achieved with a clear conscience.

MANIFESTATION--Ultimately, ideas  are manifested as things, actions and events in the fourth world, the KINGDOM of Earth or material existence.

This is exactly how the Word of God is manifested as humanity. Now, our task as human beings is to become conscious of the higher worlds and to manifest the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. The Divine Purpose of every created being is to realize Divine Love through Divine Wisdom. Evolution is the propensity of all created beings to realize their true essence or conjoin with Divine Love by means of the uses of Divine Wisdom.

A human being who is identified with his physical body and personal life story is at the level of ego-consciousness. Such a man is essentially asleep or unconscious. He is simply reacting unconsciously or automatically to the world according to the program of beliefs in his unconscious. He is in the prison of a selfish and ignorant ego which he defends continually because he thinks that it is his identity. He is in the prison of self-love, self-intelligence and self-righteousness. Love of self and love of the world only produces suffering and misery for ourself and others. Real Joy is the result of loving the Lord, and loving our neighbor as ourself.

In order to be FREE, we must obey the spiritual LAW that is within us. That means we must be JUST in everything we intend, think, feel, say and do. JUSTICE is an equilibrium between JUDGMENT and MERCY. If we are excessively judgmental, we tend to be unforgiving, cruel and harsh towards ourself and others. This leads to self-righteousness, guilt, shame, remorse and suffering.  If we are excessively merciful, we tend to be overly tolerant. This leads to sin, disorder, debauchery, guilt, shame and suffering. JUSTICE or Heavenly righteousness is the perfect balance between JUDGMENT and MERCY. When we attain this balance, we advance into the vessel of BEAUTY and begin to tap into the higher knowledge and love of the highest world, the realm of I AM AWARENESS, the realm of Divine Grace.

Anything that is real must have substance and form. The primordial substance of the universe is Divine Love and its form is Divine Truth. When Divine Love and Truth are flowing  through our being, we have the power to create and manifest what is beautiful and useful for all.

Finally, when we enter the Kingdom of Heaven, we become an instrument of Divine Grace and we witness and realize Love and Truth on the screen of existence.

"Remember, Success is the liberty to command, coupled with a clear conscience and loving heart. In proportion as a man is possessed of Good Will, his conscience is clear. Good Will is the outward-moving power of a loving heart. Only such a heart ever has liberty to command. In proportion as a man succeeds in letting Good Will flow outward to each person, thing or circumstance with which he comes in touch, in that proportion will he be able to influence persons, things and circumstances according to his will—his Good Will, which is just to all.The art of succeeding is the art of concentrating Good Will, and using it for definite purposes.
