Nugget #61 - First Triad: Intellect

Keter is the beginning point of the “intellect” of the first Triad, but not included within it as explained in the last few nuggets.  The intellect level triad incorporates 3 sefirot that we will explore.  But first let me explain what is happening within the triad.
A triad is a set of 3 Sefirot that work in a cooperative union.  Two are the opposite extremes or limits while the center is the balancing point of those two extremes.  That balancing point is where harmony exists between the 2 extremes.  Thus both extremes are beneficial, particularly when they are balanced.
For example take water.  If we have no water we will die of thirst.  If we have too much water we will drown.  This is true for plants as well.  What happens to a plant if we under or over water it?  The plant will die.  A balance is required to benefit from water.  The closer the water is to the balance point, the greater the benefit the plant receives.
Seeking that balance point is one of the objectives of our existence.  Life is all about balance.
Ask yourself: Look over your life and see how often events in your life is a balancing act between two points of reference.
