Nugget #19 – Sefirot

Within the TNK there are literally 10 root “Forces” that are identifiable. “Elohim” is composed of these root “Forces”. These “Forces” are named according to their attribute or, sometimes called quality. From this point on attribute and quality will be used interchangeably.

Note I did not say, “Attributes” or “Qualities”, for these are root attributes or qualities expressed within creation. To illustrate: If I was to say, “Actors.” We would immediately think of our favorite actors and actresses. Our thoughts would be on many actors not on the source of actors. So by keeping the singular we are speaking of the source, the root of each attribute.

I am sure some are thinking that the source or root of these roots is the Creator. Yes that is correct.

Collectively, these attributes are called Sefirot in Kabbalist circles.

Ask yourself: How many 10 of something do we see in the Torah?
