Magus Of Possibilities

Kabbalah , also referred to as Qabalah, are a set of esoteric principles and teachings meant to explain the relationship between an eternal and mysterious Creator and the mortal and finite universe (His creation).

It is used as background to explain the situations and concepts that are related to the Abrahamic religions and their God.It also a school of magecraft

Principles:

Aspects of God

This compares the goals of Magi, which is to achieve SYSTEM/Magic, or One who is not a god yet reaches the will of the Heavens, the will of heavens representing to magic, to the teachings of the Kabbalah, specifically referring to Ein Sof Ohr, Ein Sof, Ein.

Ein is translated as null, void, or nothingness, and corresponds to 0.

Ein Sof is translated as infinity, and corresponds to 00, and is the emanator of 10 Sephirot.

Ein Sof Ohr is translated as infinite light, and corresponds to 000.

Ein caused Ein Sof, and Ein Sof begot Ein Sof Ohr.

Ein Sof in Kabbalah, is understood as God prior to His manifestation in the production of any spiritual Realm — before God changes His Self, known as Seder hishtalshelus to the creation of the physical world. Ein Sof may be translated as "no end", "unending," or infinite. Ein Sof is the divine origin of all created existed, in contrast to the Ein, which is infinite nothingness. Ohr on the other hand, is translated as light, and is used as an analogy as a way of describing metaphysical Divine emanations of God.

Ein Sof Ohr or Ohr Ein Sof means The Infinite Light, and is the Kabbalistic term for the Divine essence. In the Kabbalah, it describes the 10 Sephirot (The 10 Divine emanations or attributes), that reveal the unknowable Godhead to the creations and channel the creative life-force to all levels of existence. As well as the 10 "lights" of God encapsulated in the Sephirot, Kabbalah also describes a more primordial light that shines from the Ein Sof (Infinite) itself. This light, the origin of all Creation, and all lower lights, is called the "Ohr Ein Sof" ("The light of the Infinite", or alternatively, itself "The Infinite Light"). Before Creation, there could be no being to behold a revelation of Divine light. The Ohr Ein Sof is a form of Divine self knowledge, and through God knowing Himself, He created everything, with its subsequent historical unfolding, and its ultimate purpose in the innermost Divine Will.

In relation to the five magics

Since the purpose of SYSTEM is to find a way to reach the will of the heavens and for the magus to find a body that exceeds humans and can do God's calculations which can be the application of that magic. this comes off as particularly blasphemous .

Simply put, SYSTEM is the achievement of becoming the same as God which is the comparison to a Magician, and goes up against God's will which is the comparison the Counter Force, by removing one's self from his divine light which is compared to the removing your connection to world.

Furthermore, Kabbalah teaches that God is neither matter nor spirit, but is the creator both, is unknowable and the revealed aspect of God that created the universe, preserves the universe, and interacts with mankind. Because God is infinite (Ein Sof), nothing can be said of His essence, and that the 10 emanations through the Sephirot is only partially accessible to human thought.

Sephiroth:

The Sephiroth also known as the Tree of Sephirot, meaning tree of enumerations, represent the 10 attributes/emanations in Kabbalah, through which God reveals himself and continuously creates both the physical realm and the chain of higher metaphysical realms. The emanations, or Sephirah,arise out of the three preliminary states that are considered to precede manifestation. The first is the Ein, the second is the Ein Sof (the concentration of Ein), and the third is Eins Sof. The Sephiroth was brought from the Ein Sof, and from the brilliance of God's light, the Ein Sof Ohr, took form of as His emanations.

The downward route through the ten Sephirah in numerical order from Keter to Malkuth, is represented in the shape of a lightning flash, which is also referred to as the Flaming Sword

Paths:

In addition to the Sephirah, the tree also has 22 paths which connect the ten spheres, with their own set of attributes ascribed to them, including a letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and a card of the Major Arcana, in Golden-style traditions.

Similar to the downward route through the Sephirah represented in the Flaming Sword, the route along the 22 paths is represented in the form of the Serpent of Wisdom. Wrapped around the tree, the serpent's head is in the first path from the top (Keter - Chokhmah) and its tail at the bottom path (Yesod - Malkuth), with the serpent's body touching each path in numerical order from head to tail, going round but never passing through the spheres.

In relation to magecraft

The Athanasius Kircher version of the Tree of Sephirot, which omits the Da'at Sephirah, though traditionally it is often omitted from the Tree. Da'at is translated as (Knowledge), where all 10 sephirot are united as one. In Da'at, all sefirot exist in their perfected state of infinite sharing. The three sephirot of the left column that would receive and conceal the Divine Light, instead share and reveal it. Since all sephirot radiate infinite self-giving Divine Light, it is no longer possible to distinguish one sefira from another. Thus they are one.

It should be noted that his version has been adapted by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its descendant organizations. Kircher's version shows twenty-two channels or pathways connecting the Sephiroth, arranged in the same pattern as is found on the modern Tree. Each channel has been ȧssigned one of the Hebrew letters.

It can be ȧssumed that this may what is referring to as the slot where God's positions amongst the other hierarchy is. However, this is highly unlikely, as the Sephirot is the emanation of God, and no single Sephirah nor the entire Tree, consitute to the whole limiteless state of God. Thus, this reaction when someone reveals Mage's Association's goal of SYSTEM, as it is not part of the emanation of God, and a being separate from his emanation is separate from Ein Sof, implying that the being in itself has his/her own infinity which can refer to the root and magic.

the Tree is referred to as a basic concept where 10 levels are arranged, separating God, Angels, Humans, and souls, and to represent that God reigns supreme over everything. Furthermore, this state that people can train in order to achieve a higher level, but there is a limit to how much humans can climb hence not everyone can be a magician.

Qliphoth:

The Qliphoth is the completely opposite tree to the Sephiroth, covering another side of the world. Like the tree of life, the Qliphoth consists of 10 spheres and 22 paths. Unlike the upright tree of the Sephiroth which is protected by angels, the Qliphoth is an upside-down tree with a demon's name engraved in each qliphah.

Though the Qliphoth is often interpreted as a tree of evil, being the inverse of the Sephiroth and having demons as the guardians of its spheres, it's essence is not an absolute evil. With appropriate training and experience, it can ȧssist in acquiring dangerous knowledge found in the hidden world.

However it will inevitably trip up anyone who tries to view it with insufficient training or resolve.Such people will likely be bewildered by a fog of confusion, find something other than truth, come to believe that perverted ceremonies are one and the only way to acquire knowledge, among other things.

The sight alone can provide a powerful shock to those who never intended to view it.

Practitioners must learn and understand the fundamental meanings of the standard Sephiroth before even attempting to peer into the inverse Qliphoth and utilize the reverse meanings.

Just as the Sephiroth, the tree of life,It is also a diagram explaining how to handle the soul, the Qliphoth, the inverse tree, can ȧssist in the creation of something much like life if used properly. This can be used to produce artificial demons based on the Qliphoth. These artificial demons have a structure similar yet different to humans corresponding to the tree of life and much simpler than demons , evil trees anthropomorphized by knowledge, and are the inverse of thought beings based on the standard tree.

Though this demon was noted to be quite flimsy despite the illusion of stability, it was capable of repairing itself after having its spheres destroyed so long as the paths connecting them remained intact, by filling in the holes left behind, though it took a long time and it was helpless while it was doing so.

Four Worlds:

The Four Worlds are the comprehensive categories of spiritual realms in Kabbalah in the descending chain of Existence. These "Worlds" denotes the emanation of God's light, the Ohr, from the Ein Sof Divinte Infinite, through progressive, innumerable constrictions of his Ohr in order to allow for the "conceptual space" in which a finite and seemingly independent world could exist. These constrictions or dimming of his light, form differentiated spirtiual levels. Higher realms metaphorically denote greater relvelation of God's divine Ohr light, and more open to their source, or closer to God.

Atziluth (World of Emanation) On this level the light of the Ein Sof, radiates and is still united with its source. This supernal revelation the souls and Divine emanations in Atzilus from sensing their own existence, which would mean that those that reside with this realm are unaware of their self.

Briah (World of Creation) On this level is the first concept of creatio ex nihilo, yet without shape or form. Here, the creations of Beri'ah are aware of their selves, of their own existence, but cease being Divine.

Yetzirah (World of Formation) This level have beings that have ȧssumed shaped and form. The beings here worship through Divine emotion and striving, as they sense their distance from the Understanding of Beriah.

Assiah (World of Action) On this level the creation is complete, differentiated and particular, due to the concealment and diminution of the Divine vitality. However, it is still on a spiritual level. Assiah is separated as spiritual and physical, and here in the physical Assiah, is the material Universe of humans with all its creations.

In relation to magic:

It states that the spell affects all of the four worlds, from those closest to the Divine light of God, and in the lowest from it, the world of humans, switching the inside and the outside states of the beings perhaps something that is outside the Ein Sof of God.
