Characteristics Of Sphere (Sephiroth) And Their Attributes

Tiphereth
Tiphereth occupies the 6th position in the Tree of Life and the sphere is associated with Beauty. Tiphereth represents our inner self - our soul. It reveals the inner meaning of our lives and also tells us about the purposes of our life, our ideals and objectives. The sephira reflects our goals, our success, our achievements and also our outer self that we present to the world and is ruled over by the Guardian angel Raphael. Speaking from an astrological perspective, the position occupied by the Tiphereth is ruled over by the planet Sun, the planet that symbolizes power and vitality. The energy of Tiphereth can be used in projecting the positive aspects of our personality.

Tiferet ("Adornment", Hebrew: תפארת [tiˈfeʔʁeθ]) or Tifaret, Tifereth, Tyfereth, Tiphereth is the sixth sefira in the Tree of Life in Kabbalah, which is the spirituality of Rabbinic Judaism. It has the common association of "Spirituality", "Balance", "Integration", "Beauty", "Miracles", "Compassion", and "Masculinity".

Netzach
Netzach occupies the 7th position in the Tree of Life and it is the sphere that is associated with victory. Netzach represents our inner feelings, our emotions and our sentiments. It reveals our heart felt desires, needs and requirements. The sephira reflects some of the practical aspects of human life and is ruled over by the Guardian angel Haniel. Speaking from an astrological perspective, the position occupied by the Netzach is ruled over by the planet Venus which in turn reflects those things to which we get attracted. The energy of Netzach can be used in analyzing our pleasure and positive aspects of life.

Netzach (Hebrew: נצח‎, "victory") is the seventh Sephirot in the Kabbalah, located beneath Chesed, at the base of the "Pillar of Mercy". Netzach is "Perpetuity", "Victory".

Path Of Nun
This is the path of intimacy. This is the road that has been designed specifically for transformation. As such death, struggles, fight and destructions are all a part of this path. You get to know that nothing in this universe lasts forever from this particular road. It also teaches you how to work with others forming a group and thus aim for a higher aim.

NUN--PATH13, an Introduction

This path joins the fourth brain circuit to the fifth brain circuit (Netzach to Tiphareth) opening the holistic view of the superconscious. This brings a feeling of bliss, of walking on air, and an acceptance of the world about you with understanding and compassion. When the fifth brain circuit is fully involved in functioning consciously, the persons' IQ will be increased by at least 20 points. Opening this superconscious brain circuit to the consciousness is the principle goal of most Tantric teachings of the past. Although they did not know the technical terms for the brain centers, they knew the results of the actions, rituals, and studies taken.

Since the fifth brain circuit is a powerful holistic circuit with a strong feeling of bliss, we are greatly rewarded in both our ability to see things clearly and in the feeling of joy accompanying the opening of this brain circuit.

Shin, the Mother Letter of Fire, IS the Chashmal. This is the supernal root or template of the mental "plan of the primordial" (Aleph) and the astral "plan" (Mem). It is the seed which provides the archetypal "image to all created things that have an appearance, in a form fitting to each." With Shin, the initiate, acting AS the single Chokmah Greater Self, consciously implants this seed within the Bright Fertile Mother (Binah). Initially, the initiate's own Binah Greater Self is thus fertilized, but ultimately, ALL the Binah Greater Selves are fertilized.

As the Tarot image illustrates, this fertilization (pictured as a non-verbal sound vibration emanating from the Archangel's trumpet) brings about the birth of a new life amid the old.

*Chashmal ("electrum"):
Chashmal is a fiery radiance identified in the vision of Ezekiel as surrounding the Divine countenance seated upon the heavenly chariot; interpreted in Chassidic thought as the dynamic of "silent speech."

The fourth and fifth brain circuits.

4. The Domestic (Socio-Sexual) Circuit (The "Adult" Personality)

Imprinted by the first orgasm-mating experiences and tribal “morals”. Concerned with sexual pleasure, (instead of sexual reproduction) local definitions of “moral” and “immoral”, reproduction, nurture of the young etc. This circuit is basically concerned with operating within social networks and the transmission of culture across time. This circuit is said to have first appeared with the development of tribes. Leary never associated a drug with it, but some have pointed out that androgens for males, estrogens for females meet some of the requirements needed to activate this circuit.

5. The Neurosomatic Circuit (Zen-Yoga Mind-Body-Connection)

Path #19 - Path of Life - The Way of the Child
This path links Foundation with Splendor on a creative journey of fulfillment, success and spirituality. Known as the path of the Solar Child, it brings ecstasy and a complete surrender to the dance of life. Vitality and freedom rule. Charismatic leaders, who rely on joyous persuasion rather than coercion, walk here, making others happy with their own happiness. Laughter is their flag. But you must remember that the energy comes from on high, not from yourself alone.

Card: The SUN represents the central gravitational pull of our solar system. Everything revolves around it. This card evokes a childlike innocence that is also powerfully charged with the potential for growth.

Challenges: Arrogance, egoism, demanding, controlling and overly dramatic. An unhealthy need for recognition and fame.

Hebrew Letter: ר Resh means "head." It signifies the top dog, the leader of all the planets. The head, our brain, rules our body, interpreting all the sensory stimuli that connect us to the outside world.

*Foundation, Yesod
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesod_%28Kabbalah%29

The sephirah of Yesod translates spiritual concepts into actions that unite us with God.

It is often associated with the Moon, because it is the sphere which reflects the light of all the other sephirot into Malkuth, and it is associated with the sexual organs, because it is here that the higher spheres connect to the earth.

It plays the role of collecting and balancing the different and opposing energies of Hod and Netzach, and also from Tiphereth above it, storing and distributing it throughout the world. It is likened to the 'engine-room' of creation.

*Splendor, Hod
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hod_%28Kabbalah%29

Hod ("Majesty"; הוד ) in the Kabbalah of Judaism is the eighth sephira of the Kabbalistic tree of life. It is derived from hod הוד in the Hebrew language meaning "majesty" or "splendor" and denoting "praise" as well as "submission".

Hod sits below Gevurah and across from Netzach in the tree of life; Yesod is to the south-east of Hod. It has four paths, which commonly lead to Gevurah, Tiphereth, Netzach, and Yesod.

All the sephirot are likened to different parts of the body, and netzach and hod are likened to the two feet of a person: right foot and left foot. Feet are usually only the means for a person's activity. While the hands are the main instrument of action, the feet bring a person to the place where he wishes to execute that action.

Hasidic Judaism's view of Hod is that it is connected with Jewish prayer. Prayer is seen as form of "submission"; Hod is explained as an analogy - that instead of "conquering" an obstacle in one's way, (which is the idea of Netzach), subduing oneself to that "obstacle" is related to the quality of Hod.

Audience: Is the exodus equal to the great path?

Instructor: The direct path, in its synthesis, is the work wherein the Initiate enters into the wilderness--which is our mind--in order to completely eliminate all notion of self. The process of the exodus is the same. The pure parts of the soul, Israel, are taken out of Mitsrayim, suffering. This is not a literal story in Exodus. People think that the race or people of the Jews were taken out of slavery in Egypt, and yet they were never in slavery in Egypt. It is a symbol. All of us are slaves in Mitsrayim, “the place between the waters.” [Mitsrayim has two Mems]. We are in slavery in our psyche. Our own Moshe, the human soul, Tiphereth, through rigorous work, can purify our mind by utilizing the power in the rod(The Spine)--that nachash, serpent--and cleanse us. That is the work of the direct path.

The people of the spiral path are only interested in becoming saints and then being worshipped and followed. The people on the direct path want to die, and this is the difference. You can easily see a different flavor in the teachings of Samael Aun Weor, Shantideva, Buddha Shakyamuni, or especially Padmasambhava and Milarepa. Their teachings are very direct, very potent, and many people are terrified of them because they call for the death of the 'I'. That is the work of the direct path, that is the exodus, to exit from suffering. To exit from suffering you cannot do it halfway. You cannot do it slowly. It is like getting a surgery. If you do it slowly, it hurts more and there is risk of dying. If you do it quickly and accurately, it hurts, but then you are done.

Spiral path: Tries to use many lifetimes to eliminate his or her ego.
