The first extreme Sefirot of the intellectual Triad is Chochmah, which means wisdom. Chochmah is the source of divine inspiration. If we were to look at the Tree of Life we would find it below Keter to the right.
Keter is the initial “thought of creation” while Chochmah is the beginning of the plan of creation. You may or may not have noticed I said “beginning of” in the last statement. Wisdom is non-verbal, non-visual, and non-communicable. It is a personal connection point between the Creator and us. It is an experience or, as some would say, a “sensation” on the spiritual level. It is like a spark of inspiration. It is a spontaneous event and as all sparks it does not last long. It is there for a moment then dissipates. It is up ...to us to catch that spark and absorb it before it disappears all together.
Often a spark of inspiration takes time to be absorbed before it can become part of the mind. It is like food. We have to chew the food then swallow before our stomach can take the material and digest it. Then we can finally derive nourishment from it. The digestion of Chockmah can take a split second or decades before we can finally derive benefit from the experience.
Think of moments when you literally had a bright light or a spark appear in your mind yet you were speechless to share the experience. That is a brief moment of connection via Chochmah.See More
