Sefirot

As indicated by the title of the first of these books, 1948 — Bein ha-Sefirot, she still perceived 1948 as a momentous breach in history, a transition of tremendous magnitude (which the English translation, Between the Calendars, unfortunately fails to convey).

The Shekhinah as passive expression of femininity at the bottom of the structure of the sefirot is now complemented by the feminized depiction of the third sefirah, that of binah (insight), referred to as “the higher Shekhinah” and “the mother of the Sefirot,” a locus of creative and healing power.

Some of the diagrammatic illustrations to these texts further inspired her, suggesting “associations between the Sefirot in the Tree of Life and the chakras of the body.”

Hypostasized in myths, made concrete by images and symbolized by letters and numbers, the Sefirot are at the core of Cabalist speculation, whose other major focus is the names of God and their resonance in words of scripture.

Other words of great power are the names of the Sefirot, which are unknown, as such, to the Bible; they are names not of God but of aspects or manifestations or emanations of divinity.

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola Copenhaver, Brian 2008

From a Cabalist point of view, the Sefirot and the divine names are actors in dramas of theology, cosmology, anthropology and angelology whose major themes are exile, death, atonement and redemption, stories that Pico transposes onto the Christian Trinity, with Jesus Christ, the Messiah, as the saving hero.

Sefirot is philosophically unjustified, and stresses its departure from true doctrine of Ibn Rushd that the universe is ordered by God alone and not by secondary “spiritual forces”, and that intellect is the most appropriate of God's attributes.
