Nugget #20 – Sefirot, in “Elohim’s” image

Sefirot means "count" or "to number".  This is in reference to isolating the attributes that creation is imbued with as discussed in Nugget #19.

These are the basic creative forces used for creation.  Since there is “None besides Him” (Nugget #2) than we have to logically conclude these qualities are not only part of creation and all that comprises of it, but us as well.  The difficult part is realizing we are imbued with these attributes.

Psalm 82:6 ”I said: You are” elohim” [forces], sons of the Most High.”  We are “elohim”.  We are forces of the Most High.  We are imbued with the root qualities of “Elohim”.

We know that Genesis 1 is only speaking of “Elohim’s” activities in creation.  Keep this in mind when reading Genesis 1:26 where “Elohim” says, “Let us create man in our image.”  If we are in “Elohim’s” image than the natural conclusion is that “Elohim’s” qualities are a key part of us.
