Divine Creation and Sefirot: Mystical Interpretation of Genesis

In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth. To keep it simple, we understand that in this phase of Creation there is God, there is Heaven therefore celestial realities, namely angelic ones, and finally Earth, meaning the terrestrial creation of which man is part. We say Heaven and Earth because it is now translated this way, but according to a more esoteric analysis it should be translated as the Burning Waters and the Chaotic and swirling Rest.

2 And the earth was formless and void and darkness spread over the face of the Abyss and the Spirit of God hovered over the face of the Waters. Here we speak again of a dual state. Before we spoke of Heaven and Earth, as the high and low, of the Burning Waters and the chaotic and swirling rest and in the same way here we see a dual condition: darkness and the face of the Abyss on Earth and the Spirit of God that hovers over the burning Waters.

What does this verse mean? It means many things because it indicates doctrinal things, but also mystical experiences related to Genesis, that is, to the Birth of Man, in particular it also refers to the succession of events that occur when the Birth of Man in God arrives. So it is a complex and secret subject, but as far as we are concerned According to the secret Tradition of Israel it can be said that God when he creates the world and Man circumscribes a part of his being from which to withdraw. A circumscribed zone defined as Nothingness, an empty zone described here as darkness on the face of the Abyss. The primordial adynamic nothingness, the Cosmic Night. To withdraw from this circumscribed zone the Divine Consciousness must Concentrate in a Supreme point: the point of the high corresponding to the point of the low.

And God said: 'Let there be Light' and there was Light. With this phrase, with this 'Fiat', with the power of the Word, of the Verb he moves his Consciousness or Conscious Power now become Being that projects itself on the Primordial Nothingness giving beginning to Creation. This is the first manifestation of Divine Consciousness to Creation that gives origin to the beginning of Creation.

SEFIROT AND DIVINE IMAGE

According to biblical Tradition there will follow another 9 Fiats or affirmations of God, which therefore imply 9 other manifestations of Divine Consciousness, each of which with a particular characteristic that reveal his Divine Force and Power. Each of these Lights corresponds to an Emanation of energy, for this reason they are called Divine Uncreated Energies or Emanated Energies. And as the splendid colors of the human aura show the virtues of man so the splendid colors of the Divine Energies show the virtues or Divine attributes.

These attributes or divine virtues are divided into groups of three:

Absolute Creative Will: also called the Splendid Crown of God the origin of Creation. The source of every Light
Uncreated Wisdom: in which all things live in essence and united. The Light.
Determining Intelligence: in which all realities and qualities of beings are specified and determined. This determining intelligence must be imagined as a crystal that diffracts and makes possible the life of all colors that were nevertheless contained in the previous white Light.

These three Lights or Energies are the first manifestations of Divine Consciousness. They are the highest and somehow constitute the image of God himself, of the Trinity: Father Son and Holy Spirit.

Subsequently we have again 3 manifestations of Divine Consciousness in its action in the Cosmos:
Mercy: that is the Beneficent and merciful and vivifying Aspect of God Blessing
Rigor: that is the aspect of Divine Justice: Rigor and Mercy that represent like two forces or the two spiritual hands of the Priest King represented by the sixth Uncreated Light called Beauty

Finally we have the manifestations of Divine Consciousness in its action in Man given that the last Fiats are relative to the Creation of Man and that represent: Victory, Glory, Foundation and the Kingdom

HUMAN MODEL AND HUMAN REALITY

So summarizing what there is to understand and remember from all this discourse: God creates Man giving origin to a model, that which is the Essence of Man that will then create Man. This model in his image and spiritual likeness reflects his divine characteristics or attributes called by Jewish tradition Sefirot or Divine Uncreated Energies.

These Divine Uncreated Energies therefore originate from Divine Consciousness Centers that have characteristics and Powers that are then reflected in Human Consciousness Centers. Since the model of Man was made with these characteristics all men, in their spiritual part have these characteristics that can be awakened in harmony with the divine model.

Then when this model enters dualism, then to these divine forces, temporarily opposing forces are opposed. This is because we are in a dual situation of hot cold, of good evil etc... so the development of this model has in time its opposition and temporal evolution.

Therefore these centers of consciousness, in the dualism of evolution can tune either with the high or with the low, therefore either manifest divine virtues or human and telluric vices. The purpose of meditation is to awaken the center but in their ideal Christic aspect, to tune it with divine consciousness.

CENTERS OF FORCE

CROWN CENTER

UNCREATED ENERGY: CROWN
PROPERTIES: SPIRITUAL WILL: good functioning individual consecrates himself to the Will of God and to sacrifice. Bad functioning withdrawal into oneself in a dramatic Ego (cancer)
RAYS: 1000
COLOR: WHITE (ORDINARY) BRILLIANT WHITE AT THE CENTER IRIDESCENT IN THE CONTOURS (AWAKENING): the center is formed by a contour and a center of the crown that has a whitest color, whiter than the full Moon and that was called in esotericism 'wheel of fire'.
EFFECTS ON BODIES: ASTRAL: PERFECTION OF FACULTIES ETHERIC: CONTINUITY OF CONSCIOUSNESS –Who develops this center thoroughly gains the ability to remain lucid in the various states of consciousness, for example the dream state. This is the highest Center of Force and that develops only at the end when the development of all other centers is
