The 22 Creative Forces Paths 11 - 32 of the Path to Wisdom
urther to the Tree of Life analysis, here as promised are the 22 Creative forces
These creative forces are better known as Paths 11 through to 32 of the 32 paths to Wisdom.
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
These 22 concepts represent the active movement and transition of energy between the Sephiroth on the Tree of Life. They are most commonly represented by the Hebrew alphabet, which is said to be a series of sounds based on the 22 essential frequencies of creation. They are also directly represented by the Major Arcana in the Tarot.
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
These movements or frequencies are said to express the process of creation as it manifests from the incorporeal realms of god all the way down into the physical reality which we are experiencing now. It is the same process by which thoughts, feelings and inspirations enter into our consciousness, even informing us of the tangible actions we perform for our bodies in our day to day lives. It speaks about the concept of creation, not creation of the earth itself. These are abstract and ancient concepts, and the truth of this pattern and process has become distorted and disconnected. This information seeks to give you an understanding of the NATURE of the idea rather than indoctrinating you to a specific interpretation of it. I would ask you not to focus too closely on the actual letter or signifier and instead absorb as much about the concept as you can using what you learn as we go through them. Wisdom without understanding got us here, but understanding without wisdom can actually help save us all.
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
First off = The Hebrew alphabet of 22 letters is divided into 3 unique groupings.
The 3 mother letters, 7 double letters and the 12 single or simple letters. Perhaps you already recognise some signifcant parallels forming as we learn of this. In essence the mothers are the root forces from which the remaining letters decend and also represent the holy trinity as well as the elements Air Water and Fire. The 7 doubles all have dual natures describing opposing concepts like Life and Death, Wisdom and Folly or War and Peace. They have multiple pronounciations and correlations with the Chakras in the body, the 7 Alchemical noble metals and the 7 local celestial bodies, that being the Sun Moon and planets out to Saturn. The 12 single letters each represent singular ideas and bear singular pronunciations, they can be easily related to the 12 signs of the Zodiac. Together all 22 pathways correlate with the 22 cards of the Major Arcana in the Tarot.
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
There are 2 distinct models even when presenting this information in this way and they have their own placements and discrepancies. They are best described as Left and Right brain interpretations. The left brain lays out the pathways in a Linear Fashion in the direction shown in the image where as the right brain places the 3 mother letters on the Horizontal lines, the 7 double letters on the vertical lines and the 12 single letters on the diagonal lines. Both carry great wisdom and information. All interpretations should be analysed.
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
I am deeply aligned with the Tarot, and so this is presented in the traditional Hebrew fashion as a Linear Path of Creation. I welcome you to deepen your own understanding and interpretation as we move forward on this wisdom quest together. Each of the pathways connect to both the microcosm and the macrocosm, meaning that they bear significance in our individual lives and the Universe on a greater scale. Here is a simple explanation of the creation of reality from heaven to earth and an attempt to show you its connection to you personally.
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
The first path - Aleph 1
The primal and principal power behind all creation. (This letter is silent)
The letter /symbol in Hebrew is the OX representing a great and powerful force, thousands of years ago it was an icon of the raw power of the earth, of force and the capacity to build and to sow and expand. Aleph can be understood as the first and only creative force in that all other creative forces are just states this original force can move into. It is actionless, motionless and exists as the essence of possibility. It is all things without the limitations of existing as those things. This is a primal state of pure beingness, it represents to us perfection beyond human comprehension. It is not a force in action, in fact its not doing anything. It is the essence of infinite potential in perfect stillness. The truth of absence is that it is an immortal quality.
The Law of Zero.
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
The second path - Bet 2
The start of the story of creation (The first sound)
The letter /symbol in Hebrew is the house which is the idea of a container or vessel by which the created world may come into being. Much like the Body is the container of the soul - a void is the container for creation. It is the idea of a container, though nothing yet is contained. It is the concept of this which is not that. Put simply Bet is the same unmoving power as Aleph but now it has become aware that it may organise itself in some way. It represents the awareness of multiplicity within unity. The birth of Duality. These first 2 pathways can be expressed as either The Fool The Magician or The High Priestess cards in the Major arcana, depending on how they are individually interpreted. These are the polarities between formlessness and everything else that comes after.
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
The third path - Gimel 3
The expansion of that which came before it.
The letter/Symbol in Hebrew is the Camel. This was the self sufficient animal that could travel for days across the deserts which were otherwise unpassable. They were seen as sacred golden creatures capable of crossing the abyss, and as this path crosses the hidden sephirah, they developed into icons for the experience known to many as the dark night of the Soul, as well as the experience of birth and death and the return to a personal connection with source energy. In this context Gimel refers to the essential consciousness with form expanding both inside itself and beyond it. It emerges as the third and unifying pathway resolving and harmonising the opposites between formlessness and ideas of form forming a sacred self existing link. It is also a symbol of the expansion of creation and civilisations and different states of being. In our lives it can represent deep knowing, the harmony found in opposites, The creator and the created coexisting. These first three pathways form the basis for the Holy Trinity as a concept in spirit, physics and linear creation, man and woman make baby, the idea of the living self existing spirit. It also represents the natural universe -Positive, Negative and Neutral Polarities. It is best expressed using a sacred geometric pattern you know well.
The Empress.
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
The fourth path - Daleth 4
The pathway of dimension
The letter / symbol in Hebrew is a door and relates to the concept of shape and moving or going 'through.' A door is a gateway through a solid object like a wall. Esoterically a door is a special kind of void, something you can use to pass from one state through into another.
It is sometimes seen as the path of humility and receptiveness. This is the place on the tree of life when we first encounter Dimension, where before we had only pure energy and its expansion. Daleth represents to us the nullification of Ego in presence of spirit and how to return to the source.
The Emperor.
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
The fifth path - Heh 5
A point of view
The letter / Symbol in Hebrew is a window and represents a point of view. It was seen as a window to divine revelation or a perspective which has to do with the way you express yourself. It is the concept of looking, while not nessacarily looking at anything. Nothing is manifested as yet in this region of the tree of life, so this refers to developing the perspective of the essential observing capacity within creation and the expression of this core perspective setting things in motion. We learn this in Quantum Physics, through the double slit experiment, that observation itself seems to affect what is observed. This letter represents setting a perspective on something which sets motion to the creative process. It represents the effortlessness of all creation and the essence of divinity within it.
The Hierophant.
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
The sixth pathway - Vav 6
The learning and teaching of cosmic law.
The letter/ Symbol in Hebrew is Nail, or Hook/Anchor and is meant to represent the thing that joins other things together and holds them in that state, This is the cosmic principal that allows atoms to form bonds together and create molecules. It is the sixth path and so is the binder or unifier of energies. At this ethereal level on the tree there is still nothing manifested yet, so this represents the power of the creator to enter and order the world. It represents to us the Geometry of the Merkabah, and the eternal connection between heaven and earth. This is the sixth day in Genesis. This is the truth of the harmony and love.
The Lovers
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
The seventh path - Zayin 7
The letter / symbol in Hebrew commonly means sword or weapon but is more closely related to the concept of a Tool. Weapon in this context does not refer to violence or war, but instead refers to the essence of power unused, like a meditating Samuri. A sword that is unmoving but focused, as the general becomes a symbol for the power they command over the army before them. This commanding aspect also relates to the carpenter or gardener who commands various tools to create new things with virtue and care. The ability for spirit to actually build and materialise things now exists. To us this is the concept of movement, the struggle of opposing forces, the imbalances we encounter by being in command of our own lives. It is the awareness of being a unified spirit and an individual soul at the same time.
The Chariot
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
The eighth path - Cheth 8
The letter/ symbol in Hebrew is most commonly a ladder, though the idea can also be expressed as a hedge or fence. The next concept is the forming of a boundary layer by which the creation can become manifested within. A ladder is just a fence on its side, delineating the multidimensional boundary that is being created. The concept of a fence and a ladder when twisted in the middle form the visual representation for DNA. 8 also has great significance with mentality and infinity, Jacobs ladder in the bible was a visionary pillar of eternal spiralling white light which was delivered to him as an insight into the higher dimensions all the way to the unity of God. For us in this way we can connect it to our ability to go above and beyond our earthly limitations.
Strength
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
The ninth path - Teth 9
The letter/ symbol in Hebrew can mean basket or serpent. For this reason it is one of the most mysterious paths on the Tree of life. It is thought to represent polarities and the self existing paradoxes that arise in the natural world and are encountered through the ascending and decending pathways connecting to it, representing both the Good and the Evil in all variances. In this concept we see an open container, instead of the closed container we have just seen form. This is the manifestation of each unique soul in the process of creation. Tet also has the interpretation of 'Mud' as the birth of density and mass. Nothing yet is manifested but now the energetic substance for creation comes into being. This is the unused clay before the artist gives it form. This teaches us to distinguish between what we perceive to be good and bad and to strive for the purity for that which is holy and good in our lives.
The Hermit
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
The tenth path - Yod 10
The letter / symbol in Hebrew is the Hand and relates to the operation and operator of the world. Building upon what came before, there is the ethereal tool used to create things and now we also have the primordial clay to create things from. Yod represents the hand of the creator that will use the created powers with intelligence. The power of spirit to govern and guide that which is has chosen to bring into creation. It is drawn as a dot and represents the singularity which is the origin of all life and also this universe. This is the singularity of our hearts bringing life to our bodies, and the same power spirit has to govern and guide the material universe.
The Wheel of Fortune
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
The eleventh path - Kaph 11
The letter/symbol in Hebrew is expressed as either cupped hands held out to receive or as a palm held up as you would do when directing traffic to stop. It refers to the concept of pushing or invoking something to happen. This path is similar to the previous idea of a container but relates to the potentials and possibilities of that which can be received by matter by the power of spirit and the ways in which spirit can move matter. It relates to the beginning of formation, of things made more solidified. Now that there is both the tools to create and the mud to create with, this path is the actual motion of creation itself. This path holds the space for all created possibilities including matter. It teaches us to shape our characters, continually refine ourselves and seek to bring spirit into our lives and the material world.
Justice
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
The twelfth path - Lamed 12
The letter/ symbol in Hebrew relates with the concept of an Aux Code as we know it today, and as the Staff and/or Needle. This is the path and symbol of learning as it sits directly in the centre of the 22 pathways. It symbolises learning of the soul and teaches that spiritual learning is at the heart of the human experience. The idea of Aux Code relates to the frequency of prodding from higher forces to take up the Staff weilded by the learned sage. The needle represents the concept of 'getting into' in a specialised or focused way. Just like the essence of consciousness is getting into its structured creation. Lamed tells us to strive to learn everything there is to learn, always, and to accept these lessons with grace and love and trust in spirit. This is the meaning of life itself, the never ending expansion of our consciousness.
The Hanged Man
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
The thirteenth path - Mem 13
The letter/symbol is related to water and describes the energy which has now become subtly tangible. This is not physically tangible but energy that can be felt. It is described in other systems as Chi, Life Force or Vital energy. This is raw energy that can be shaped but it still lacks solidification. By following the logic in this way, mem and the element of water have consistency and describe a stable intelligence often refered to as the Divine Mother or Shakti Energy. The universe is the womb of creation and it is out of this substance of creation from which we come to be. Our physical bodies are almost entirely run by cells saturated with water. It speaks to us about balanced emotion and the power of humility.
Death
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
The fourteenth path - Nun 14
Something more tangible among the energetic fluidity
The letter/symbol in Hebrew is the path of the fish who travels the waters of Mem. The meaning is symbolic of the soul who recognises its infinite nature and leaves behind the desires of life only to be replaced with the freedom to continually change forms in all of the ways that it can through the process of death and rebirth. It speaks toward the relationship between the body which is impermanent and the soul which is eternal. In this path we learn flexibility and suppleness, going with the flow.
Temperance.
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
The fifteenth path - Samekh 15
The letter /symbol describes the essence of support such as that of a pillar and represents the pathway of upliftment. In a sense, the idea presented in total here is the support that the soul uses to uphold its earthly vessel here, and vice versa. It is power, but unlike previously when this power was unused here it has a function and this function is standing still with great strength. The function is the key. This is the power that supports all the processes that led to something more solid being able to form in the waters of potentiality so that it can have the strength and support to stay manifested. It teaches us circular thinking, to act for the good of the whole not solely for the self. It is the idea that to truly know spirit, we must know ourselves.
The Devil.
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
The sixteenth path - Ayin 16
The letter/symbol in Hebrew relates to an eye and has to do with that which is hidden and the observation and perception of images. These are most commonly thought of as astral or mental ideas or images of what could still be formed physically. It also describes a focus, in that there are an infinite number of things we can obsess over or focus in on but by choosing them carefully we set our destinies in action. Ayin implores us to open our inner eye and see beyond the material reality we exist in, to see beyond the physical realm. To go deeper, to pay attention. Conscious attention may be among the highest skills we can develop as a species with mind.
The Tower
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
The seventeenth path - Peh 17
The letter/symbol in Hebrew translates to Mouth. This is the pathway of communication. In a cosmic sense it is the power of transmission. The power of causing something to pass from one state to another. For us it is the power of speech and teaches us to view our words as precious and golden. To treat them with respect and to recognise the power they wield over ourselves and their influence over others.
The Star
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
The eighteenth path - Tzaddi 18
The letter/symbol in Hebrew most commonly relates with the concept of a fishhook. This pathway describes an ability to align the lower personality with the higher soul, very commonly it is called angling of the personality to bring it into resonance with the spirit. For us the nature of Tzaddi is righteousness and humility when facing our own inner evils and restoring balance within in order to bring the greater world around us back into Harmony and coexistence with nature.
The Moon.
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
The nineteenth path - Qoph 19
The letter/ symbol in Hebrew relates to the back of the head and is associated with self awareness. It represents the place in the mind where visual and mental images create the reality we conceive, perceive and quite often then go on to believe. This letter also relates with the lower or subconscious programming within manifested life, such as what we might call our reptilian or survival brain. It describes of a need to reprogram these lower aspects of ourselves to help us evolve from cycles of Survive, React and Repeat. Our survival instincts are very animalistic and can be violent in nature, on this path we are called to rise above them, to reilluminate ourselves from within. To rise. This survival activity happens in the Cerebellum, the basis of the connection between the nervous system, brain and body.
The Sun.
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
The Twentieth Path - Resh 20
The letter/symbol in Hebrew represents the top of the head and sometimes also the face. Where Qoph is the lower mind, Resh introduces us to the the concept of a higher mind or individual identity. Here there is power to interact with the world, to structure and shape the world as we want. This path speaks towards identification and definitions because in order to live in the world the way we do coexisting as manifested expressions of spirit we need to have definitions and objective guidelines or agreed upon names. That is what gives us structure and meaning in this experience. This path speaks to the choice to choose between greatness and degradation and upon our choosing greatness it is embodying the true spirit of the creator in form.
Judgement
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
The twenty first path - Shin 21
The letter/ symbol in Hebrew relates to the idea of a tooth but also represents the element of fire. It speaks to the human ability to change and be changed by everything in life within us and our environment's throughout all of time. Both a tooth and fire are symbols of the force which breaks down and transmutes energy from one solid state to another. This is thus that transformation. The breaking down of something in order to change its form, whether it be breaking down food to transform it into energy our organs can use, or the concept of firing clay to solidify it into a pot. This speaks to us about balance, about opposing states and extremes. It also mirrors the top of the tree and the concepts we encounter there.
The World
❤️🧡💛💚💙👁💜☯️
The twenty second path - Tav 22
The final pathway.
The letter/ symbol in Hebrew relates to the concepts of World, Cross, Mark, or Seal. The concept here is, it is complete. The work is done. This is an x marks the spot, the process of creation has arrived at its destination. This represents the physical universe all of creation, and your personal life. It is the number of the Master Builders or the Architects for this reason. 22 paths, 12 stations, 32 lessons to get you back to yourself. This is the Fool, stepping back into the abyss with knowledge of the entirety of himself.
☯️💜👁💙💚💛🧡❤️
This is the wisdom that arrives you at level 33. This is the significance numbers have for you. This is what we used to learn. What we used to teach. There is significant alignment for me, however this is just one way it has been understood throughout collections of lifetimes lived long ago. I hope it is useful for anyone who's still reading this or anyone who was interested in the Sephirah earlier in the week. 🙌
