Those are good analogies, and I've used them many times myself. I'd also say that they're more literal than metaphorical as well. Would Stephen Hawkings' singularity not be a seed of sorts? Or Kether? One in the same? What a coincidence in referencing a Tree of Life - it does seem fitting. Seeds and trees.
Sometimes, but I guess I just did it here as placeholders for the transposed number so you can see the precise ordering, but I didn't really give it much thought. I'll give you one example of similar though that I use where it is in a metaphysical context: in the TOL it is said that the tenth emanation is a reflection of the first emanation and zero(0) is symbolic of eternity as well as nothing. If you were to represent this "reflection" of "As above so below" numerically it would be 01 10, and as you can see this is what an actual reflection would look like. It also says that "nothing"(Ein Soph) came before one which is indicated by the zero in the tens place. It does seem to be less informative and meaningful if you omit the zero here.JMPtD wrote: Wed Sep 13, 2023 4:00 pm Those are cool facts. Do you have thoughts about the metaphysical significance of using numbers with 0 in the ones place and last tenths as checking numbers?

I quit my sophomore year, but I don't recall anything other than general science and theology, and the theology was mostly Bible related. My mother was Catholic and there was a Catholic school close by that some attended - just my neck of the woods though. Kabbalah is pretty niche stuff and many Jewish don't even know about it(which I extrapolated from a very small sample). Having said that though, science and theology is an integral part of my philosophy/cosmology but they are broad subjects and it depends on where you focus.
Hadit appears as the primordial point to me(1), but there is an eternal connection between it and negative existence("being not"). Part of the problem here is that anything that transcends one also transcends order and ascends into an obscure chaos of which god(s) are born. Of course technically everything is "connected" anyway as it all shares a common root but this is more targeted towards fundamentals and emergence.JMPtD wrote: Thu Sep 14, 2023 4:44 am Hadit is said, in The Book of the Law, to be "perfect, being Not."
When I reduce Yin/Yang to its most fundamental meaning I get negative and positive existence - the common root of all polarities. Yin(0) is the passive negative and Yang(1) is the active positive. Yin is feminine, and Yang is masculine, and one of the reflections of this(as evolved over the eons) sort of make sense when you think about it. Of course all individuals are variably unique, but comparatively speaking in a very general sort of way(and I'm going out on a limb here), women do appear on average to be more emotional(or "chaotic") than men which does appear to be somewhat at odds with the passivity - existence is just chock full o' paradoxes.JMPtD wrote: Thu Sep 14, 2023 6:19 pm And I think that the primordial of a positive and that the negative are connected...whether structure of yin or chaos yang...
Kundalini is always representing the ascended state of mind and body. Kundalini after all is the "Serpent" that is above all.JMPtD wrote: Fri Nov 17, 2023 7:01 pm In a method Kabbalah is good for a nice reverse kundalini brining things from the outside to the inside to be worked on by the self. The kundalini is like a working on the self thing and if one wants to go out then they can make alignments with their kriya body to do outside samyama. 1) body kundalini samyama 2) kaballah tol reception 3) outside kundalini samyama work on things in environment or still to body. Maybe Hindu is expecting because the body is constantly prominent.
Buddhism can be as primordial but not as staying primordial but as the primordial stage while its key middle element found in it between yoga is in symbolic logic what keeps one focused at the source throughout more complex stages of orderly or chaotic metaphysics. Structure, order, chaos. Yoga is focus Buddhism/chi gong/kundalini or kabbalah body is meditation yoga is samadhi all of structure less medium more, and order is yogic jogging and tai chi and less or environmental tol chakra kaballah, chaos is sports or outside of body kundalini samyama or things that are extreme and not only about the body in this method.
