Ten Sephiroth of the Tree of Life

"And he showed me a pure river of water of life, 
"And he showed me a pure river of water of life
clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of
God and of the Lamb.

In the middle of the street of it, and on either
side of the river, was there the Tree of Life, which
bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit
every month; and the leaves of the tree were for
the healing of the nations."  ~Revelation 22:8
  

Ten Sephiroth of the Tree of Life

 

The word Sephiroth itself is plural and means SPHERES or EMANATIONS. This is a brief outline of these 10 manifestations of Universal Energy constituting The Tree Of Life. Where possible I have included the planet, alchemical metal, and the color normally associated with a sphere. For many it is a life long awareness exercise attributing all they see to each sphere. The Tree of Life is a life long study in itself, and can be studied as it aligns with all other practices.

Tree of Life according to the Kabballah  
   

  

 

 Tree of Life According to LDS Scripture  

 

How can we be sure revelation is from God or man- there is an ancient school of thought called the Kaballah.

In the Kaballah there is  the Tree of Life or the Tree of Sephiroth.  This tree is used to determine the basic structure of revelation to test its authenticity. Here is a quick lesson.

 

KETHER - The "Crown", IAM THAT IAM (GOD)  (KNOWLEDGE) Truth, Free Agency
CHOKMAH - "Wisdom"... MALE DOMINANCE (ROOT) OF GOD (Reason and Analysis)
BINAH - "Understanding" FEMALE DOMINANCE (ROOT) of GOD (Feeling and Intuition)

CHESED - "Mercy", (Left or Right) Mercy hand of Christ. (Grace)
GEBURAH "Severity", (left or right) Judgment hand of Christ. (Justice, Chastisement)
TIPHARETH - "Beauty", communion with Christ (revelation) (Judgment, Balance)
HOD - "Glory", has been used to enhance the intellectual faculties, memory, and communication.
           Receiving the glory of exaltation of Christ. Redeemed. (Eternal Life)
NETZACH - "Victory", given power over oppression, enemies and tribulation. (Resurrection)
YESOD - "Foundation" the creator.  The word of God. (Priesthood Powers, Rights of the Firstborn)
MALKUTH - "Kingdom" kingdom of God on Earth (not necessarily a church) (Zion, Exaltation) 

Ok these are the 10 basic structures of the Tree of Life - used to determine if a revelation is of God.  Let's test one of my most recent revelations from the Savior. 

 

"His hand once again guides me to keep a record of my proceedings in these days of JUDGMENT that have come upon the land---For the Lord hath lifted his HAND OF MERCY from the people.  Saying, They hath defiled my church and mine holy temples, and there are iniquities therein.  Wo be unto this generation!  For verily their destruction doth speedily come like a thief in the night, lest they repent unto their Lord Jesus Christ." 

 

"I have come among my brethren and not found one who is not lifted up in pride - for they seek in vain and the wisdom of men, and have placed their trust in the arm of flesh.  I have risen up a few at this time from in the flock who hath saught WISDOM from me, and through their faith and endurance I have granted unto them my MERCY and quickened their UNDERSTANDING." 

"Let those who have ears hear me and know that I shall again place a curse upon this land because of the wickedness of the people, and the secret combinations, and their murders, and the great ones even in my church whom persecute and reject the servants I send among them -- they know me not!" 

"But through obedience to my words, my chosen, SHALL OVERCOME ALL OPPOSITION, and fear not, for I shall go before thee in all thy matters.  Be it known that there shall rise all manners of dark ones, and wicked men to attempt to hedge up the way, even to try and take your life.  You shall behold many abominable things but ye shall have your spiritual eyes open and the heavens shall rend before thee." 

 

"Go forth and speak of the iniquities to my people even unto those who sit in high places, and unto the rich and the prudent.  For I hath given thee WISDOM -- for the riches and church and the popularity and seeking to get gain hath not been your foundation-- and for this ye shall be greatly blessed- because ye have placed your trust in me and Iam the FOUNDATION for I Am eternal and all KNOWING and MERCIFUL unto those who
seek WISDOM in their youth." 

 

"Behold, no one shall have power over thee- they can not remove you from the bosom of Christ- for I have laid my BEAUTY upon thee and my spirit in your eyes, mind and heart." 

 

"Remain humble and contrite - repent daily my son - do not accept the temptations of the flesh!  Rise from your slumber and behold the miracles and the power within you.  Know that you are chosen and are forgiven of thy sins in as much as thou repent and do good and are in the service of others.  For if ye shall go about serving my children humbly, ye are also serving me!" 

 

"I hath sent my angel unto you to proclaim my word and with your own eyes hath you seen me!  The time cometh soon when you shall speak repentance.  Take yourself and your companion and go forth unto my churches and into their homes and my spirit shall guide you to what you must do. Blessed are thee for ye shall inherit the earth!  For I Am the Lord God, even Jesus the Christ.  Amen." 

So judge for yourself- if you are interested in more on the authenticity of revelation and to prove that the translations of Joseph Smith are correct- find the book called "Written by the Finger of God : By Joe Sampson" available through Deseret Books.
  

The Tree of (life) Sephiroth   VS.   The Tomb of the Mayan King of Palenque

 

 

 

As of late I have been seriously intrigued in studying the Kaballah through my eyes of a (LDS) Christian.  Most respectfully I have been studying the Tree of Sephiroth or the Tree of Life.  I have found that the model of this tree has been the basis for prophetic and scriptural writing throughout the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon and the book of Doctrine and Covenants of the Latter-day Saint Church. 

 

Surprisingly as I was also looking through the Popul Vuh and Erich Von Daniken's book, "Chariot's of the Gods?"  I have found great similarities between the Jewish Tree of life and the inscription upon the tomb of Palenque. 

 

Von Daniken's book highly emphasizes that ancient civilizations were visited and taught by highly intelligent extra-terrestrials from another planet thousands of years ago- and that modern man is the descendant of this higher beings mixed with earlier civilizations of an inferior species of men who were unlearned and animal like.  His book I feel may have some truth to this message but I find his theories highly opionated and darken the truth.  For instance- his outlook on the tomb of Palenque is that is of a Mayan king using a rocket ship-- and I shall show you here that this is most likely not the case. 

 

As you study the scriptures you will find times in history when in fact civilizations were aided by visitors from other worlds- mostly these worlds or world is the one where angels dwell.  Throughout time civilizations have had many prophets and during periods of righteousness, peace and prosperity- these civilizations were taught through angelic beings, direct communion with God himself and direct revelation in which they gained a great amount of knowledge of the heavenly realms and hidden wisdoms. 

 

When these civilizations reached their climax- pride came into place- wars broke out and soon they were destroyed by all forms of calamities.  God would send his destroying angels to the earth to lay waste to great cities and wipe out entire civilizations... 

 

Also you will find that there were other angels in the bible who were expelled from their heavenly world and fell to earth.  They were called Nephilim, Anunnukai and Gregori.  These "Sons of God" had with them all the mysteries of heaven and most likely the technology too.  They became corrupt and mingled with mortal women and gave birth to giants and all forms of strange men and creatures- this most likely started the many types of alien races seen today- and is really a large New Age hoax being played as if they are the true Gods- as they were termed Ammon-Ra in ancient times- and the Gods came and destroyed many cities but they had no power over those who worshipped the God Yahweh (Jehovah). 

 

Now as I begin my comparison of these two pictures you have before you I would like you to keep and open mind and realize that I am also capable of error even though I believe I am coming to the right conclusion. 

 

I have a strong belief that the ancestors of the Mayan, Olmec, Incan, Aztec and other ancient America civilizations came from Jerusalem and are mostly of Hebrew and Egyptian decent.  Along with them they took what we have now today as the old Testament- and if so- then they also had with them some form of the Kaballah. 

 

First of all if you will look at the center of both pictures you will see a good similarity-  on the Tree of Life is the balance of good and evil or on the left side Severity and on the right is Mercy.  Look at the hands of the Mayan king and you will see the basic sign for balance as one hand is held with palm open upward and the other is held open downward- this symbolism is commonly found in ancient American art and Asiatic statues.  Also you will notice from time to time painting of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ in which he has his hands positioned in this manner- with the righteous on his right side and the wicked on his left. 

 

Directly below Beauty (balance) you will find Foundation.  Also on the Mayan glyph you will find what appears to be an alter- in other terms a foundation. Most striking is that this man on the glyph in some ancient American beliefs is in fact the great white God or plumed serpent Quetzalcoatal- and right above the man is obviously a cross- the sign of Christ. 

 

At the top of the Tree of Life you will find male and female.  On the top of the glyph you will also find two faces- the one on the left is directly connected to the top of the Tree form on the glyph- now this would make rational sense if this was a female representation since the female brings forth life and is more in tune with promptings and the wisdom of God instead of the reasoning of the male. 

I will let you decipher the rest from this point on- since I am no professional in this subject.  I feel I clearly have shown that this glyph is a form of the Tree of Sephiroth that was had among the Jews and was taught in the school
of Kaballah in which Jesus and his apostles were students during their earthly ministry.  

 

What of the Chariots of God?  Where do they come into place.  Well I have also included an extra treat to help answer those questions.  Many times throughout legends and histories there have been seen angelic beings in flying wings, discs, planes and other vehicles.  Were these actual technology being used by angels? Most likely- yes!  Since angels are not yet Gods nor have the same power of God they would sometimes use these craft- also what about translated prophets and men- they would need some type of vehicle to travel to the heavens- for example Enoch, Ezekiel, Elias and Elijah.  There are even legends that King Solomon traveled in one of the spectacular chariots of light, called in Hebrew, the
Markabah. 

 

My sources are primarily from the writings of a great scholar, Hugh B. Nibley. He uses other sources as you shall see.  First I would like to show that Enoch most likely knew and used these ancient chariots. 

 

Now from my study on Egyptian I have noticed that when God is shown seated on his throne it is represented by a boat-like vessel which has brought to me the assumption that his throne travels.. I will now give another expert which shows the possibility of vehicular thrones of God given to the prophet Ishmael and Enoch.

 

 

Now for my conclusion- if you are familiar with any my own personal experiences, I have been through some alien abductions of my own- and at the end of one of these encounters i was taken up to the top of a high mountain by the messenger of light who was with me- I was not shown how I was taken there- he placed his hands over my eyes so that I could not see where I was going- all I felt was a rush of warmth and what seemed like only seconds later I was on top of a mountain.

People have time and time again asked me if the Prophet Joseph Smith of the LDS church could have been an abductee- from what I have learned- this may be true to a point- I feel he definitely knew about these things and was concerned and studied them for a reason- if he did have his own encounters with flying chariots - he never published any accounts but has in a sense gave some knowledge that these things exist... He once had a vision in which a friend was running from enemies and was taken into the air by a flying chariot. 

 

 "I would just say to Brother Marks, that I saw in a vision while on the road, that whereas he was closely pursued by an innumerable concourse of  enemies, and as they pressed upon him hard, as if they were about to devour him, and had seemingly obtained some degree of advantage over him, but about this time a chariot of fire came, and near the place, even the angel of the Lord put forth his hand unto Brother Marks and said unto him, "Thou art my son, come here," and immediately he was caught up in the chariot, and rode away triumphantly out of their midst.  And again the Lord said, I will raise thee up for a blessing unto many people."  Now the particulars of this whole matter cannot be written at this time, but the vision was evidently given to me that I might know that the hand of the Lord would be on his behalf."
