Here is a type of mathematical way of looking at the existence as represented by the Tree of Life: from nothing comes limitless (outer space). Filling this limitlessness is limitless light (big bang, or perhaps the space-time continuum). But this is all abstract. This is just energy. Now we need to develop solidity out of energy. We start with the idea of position, what in plane geometry is called the point (1st sephira). By reflecting itself, the 1st point can create a 2nd point (second sephira). By joining the 2 points together we form a line. But there is nothing by which to judge length. So again, by reflection, we create a 3rd point (3rd sephira) which enables us to say that point A is closer to point B than B is to point C. Thus we have formed a triangle or plane. But this has all been what is called Euclidian: it exists on an imaginary 2-dimensional surface with no thickness. To create a physical universe, we need a substance, we need 3 dimensions. We need knowledge (Dah-at, the theoretical sephira said to exist between the upper 3 and lower 7 sephiroht) in order to cross the void from 2 dimensions to 3. With the knowledge we can create a 4th point (4th sephira) which, with the previous 3 points gives us volume, and thus a 3rd dimensions. But these 3-dimensional points are static, unmoving. We need another point to show motion (5th sephira) and still another to indicate time (6th sephira), for in the physical world time and space intermingle and cannot exist without one another. So now we have something which has 3 dimensions and can move within the 3 dimensions. We still have nothing which can appreciate that existence. We add 3 more points (7th, 8th, and 9th sephiroht) which show:
- The essence of life, called being.
- The ability to think, called consciousness.
- The ability to experience sensation of something outside of one’s self, called bliss.
Therefore, the 1st idea of reality as can be appreciated by a mind is built up from the idea of a point through the idea of bliss, and summed up as reality in point 10, the 10th sephira. In string theory, the infinite knowledge of God is unified in the 11th dimension. God’s infinite knowledge transforms into infinite imagination, the source of it all, magic, the will of creation, the mind of God. In the highest dimension, the 12th still yet undiscovered by science is the willpower of God. Willpower is the ultimate virtue, as it is the ultimate form of control, the union of knowledge and imagination. The willpower of God is the cause from which all effects follow, his will being free.
