Nugget #57 – Siferot: The First Triad

Within the Tree of Life, the Sefirot form 3 triads or 3 groupings of 3 Sefirot that form a triangular shape.  The 10^th Sefirah is the resultant of the interaction of the 3 triads and the 9 Sefirot.  Thus the interaction of the Sefirot within the Triads along with the Triads interacting with each other produces the net result that is the 10th and last Sefirot.  There is a slight twist to this.  There is an 11^th sefirah that is a pseudo sefirah.  I will explain that when we get to it.

When discussing the Triads it is important to understand that all of the Sefirot do in fact interact with each other as well.  The Triads are meant to break the picture down into pieces that can be better understood but by no means do they present a complete picture of the Sefirot interactions with each other.  It is merely a perspective.

Each one of the Sefirah represents a core attribute that we have in common without Creator.  Thus through these attributes we are created in the image of G-d.  We have common channels to relate to and communicate with the Creator.  They give us access to understanding the nature of G-d and become that image of G-d.
