Ein Sof and the Ten Sefirot
LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET CONSECTETUR
This picture shows the 10 Sefirot of Nothingness in a circular array associated with Nature. The Hebrew names of the Sefirot are written again and again in circular rings. Starting from the top of the largest ring the name of the highest Sefrirah כתר (Crown) is repeated many times. It is yellow, as are the rings that contain the names of the 2 other Sefirot of the middle column תפארת and יסוד (Beauty and Foundation).
The name of the next highest Sefirah חכמה (Wisdom) is repeated many times in the second largest ring. It is blue, as are the rings that contain the names of the other Sefirot of the right column חסד and נצח (Kindness and Victory).
The third largest ring contains the name of the next highest Sefirah בינה (Understanding). It is red, as are the rings that contain the names of the other Sefirot of the left column גבורה and הוד (Strength and Majesty).
The smallest, purple ring in has the name of the 10th Sefirah מלכות (Kingship) twice.
The large Hebrew words אין סוף (Ein Sof) means without end or Infinite. Ein Sof is a Name the Kabbalists use when they speak about God’s Infinite, and unknowable Light. Just as a blank canvas is formless but contains infinite potential, the Ein Sof contains infinite creative possibilities and is beyond what any finite being can perceive or know.
Notice how the rings (that contain the Sefirot) are imperfect and incomplete. There is a gap, an opening. Now focus your eyes on the white circles. See how they are complete and are all connected to each other? The Kabbalah teaches that the formless Light of the אין סוף is given form by the 10 Sefirot - as our bodies express and give form to our Soul. The 10 Sefirot are vessels (of the body) that receive what the can of the Ein Sof (the Soul).
When you focused your eyes on the white ring (and not the ones with colors) did this picture takes look 3-dimensional? Does it look like a tunnel going in, or a cone coming out? Can you see both?
When you focus on at the many separate and incomplete rings of Sefirot you use Binah (Understanding), associated with the left-brain. When you focus on the complete and all-connected white rings (symbolizing the Ein Sof) you use Chochmah (Wisdom) associated with the right-brain, It is good to practice using both together, as it says in Sefer Yetzirah, “Understand with Wisdom and be Wise with Understanding”.
