What is the Tree of Life?

The Tree of Life generally refers to the Kabbalah Tree of Life. Kabbalah tree of life, also known as the inverted tree. According to the records of chapter 2, verses 8-9 of the "Old Testament Genesis", the tree of life is located in the middle of the Garden of Eden, and Kabbalah uses this to describe the so-called path to God, or God's way of creating the world without nothing.

The tree of life is composed of ten "circles/primitives/particles" and 22 "paths". Human beings are in separate "kingdoms", going through 22 diameters to ten circles, on a meditative journey until the "crown". In addition, it is said that each circle has an archangel who guards and guides people.

Ten "circles/primitives"

In the historical development of Kabbalah, different schools of thought put forward different structures and express different spiritual aspects. The tradition of counting to ten begins with the Book of Creation, "The ten particles of nothingness are neither nine nor eleven". Although different schools have listed a total of eleven mass points, two of them, "crown" and "knowledge", are regarded as subconscious manifestations and conscious manifestations of the same essence, so these eleven mass points are classified as ten categories.

The ten original substances are in order from top to bottom and from right to left:

"The Crown"

It is the point of contact with the great universe above the human head. It means the source of creation, pure existence, and the source of vitality. The number is 1 and the color is white. The symbol gemstone is diamond, and the symbol planet is Neptune. The representative figure is the profile of the king, the god's name is Eheieh, and the guardian angel is Metatron. At the same time, it corresponds to the circle called the last sword - "Kingdom". Transcendence, the nature of God, also represents the pure fire heaven.

"Wisdom"

Its alias is "Father Supreme", a symbol of masculine principle and "movement". The number is 2 and the color is gray. The symbolic gemstone is turquoise. The symbol planet is Uranus. God's name is Yod. The guardian angel is Ratziel. Wisdom, pure reason, and the origin of creation also represent the starry sky/primitive sky.

The gem is pearl and the metal is lead, symbolizing the planet Saturn. The representative characters are mature women. The god's name is Elohim, and the guardian angel is Zaphkiel.
