I've decided to work on the 3 systems that Ra recommends for self-understanding (Qabalah, Tarot, Astrology). For the last few days I was researching the Qabala, along with The Law of One sessions. There is one problem that I have regarding The Tree of Life, so anyone with knowledge on Qabalah commenting is greatly appreciated!
What I get from The Law of One is that after Choice (3rd density) comes Understanding/Love (4th density) and Wisdom/Light (5th density). And studying the Tree of Life, and the concept of the Lightning Flash, what I understand is that Kether progresses to Chokmah and then to Binah. And as I understand, Kether is pure Beingness, Chokmah is Wisdom, and Binah is Understanding. The Lightning Flash starts at Kether/Beingness (1), then comes to Chokmah/Wisdom (2), and then Binah/Understanding (3), then similarly down the Tree.
So basically:
- The Law of One: Choice -> Understanding (Love) -> Wisdom (Light)
- The Lightning Flash: Beingness (Choice?) (Kether) -> Wisdom (Chokmah) -> Understanding (Binah).
Soooooo.... that's where my confusion in reflecting LOO on Qabalah is. After Choice, is it Understanding and then Wisdom, or Wisdom and then Understanding? Is there such a thing as the Lightning Flash starting at Binah first? Though since Chokmah is numbered 2 and Binah 3, I don't think that's possible.
I'm having a headache after the entire afternoon and evening reading LOO, so although I believe what I typed above is coherent, I may have communicated not clearly enough. I wanted to get this question posted before retiring to bed, or I will spend a majority of the night being restless, so if there are anything unclear, please do say! Any help is greatly appreciated!
