Axis, Cycle and Heart
LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET CONSECTETUR
In Sefer Yetzirah, the Universe is said to exist in 5 dimensions. There are 3 spacial dimensions (right and left; up and down; front and back). These 3 dimensions of Space are defined by the Axis תלי (pronounced teli) - the imaginary line that the Universe resolves upon; or the line that represents the x y and z axises of spatial coordinates. The Axis תלי is represented in this picture by the large vertical ‘line’ that runs through the whole picture from top to bottom.
Time is the 4th dimension (past and future) and is defined by the Cycle גלגל (pronounced galgal) because we relate to Time as cyclical. This is represented in this picture by the large circular ring.
Soul, Nefesh in Hebrew is the 5th dimension - how we choose between good and bad in Time and Space. This is defined by the Heart לב (pronounced lev) because, according to the Torah, the Nefesh is in the blood. The heart is in a central location in the body pumping blood to and from all the limbs of the body via veins and arteries - are our internal Tree of Life.. These branch out in fractal patterns like the ones seen emerging from the heart in the center of this picture.
