There is a sort of invisible Sefirah in the “Tree of Life”
that is called Daat. It is in between
Chochmah and Binah, typically slightly below those two extremes. These 3 form the first triad that we are to
balance with the aid of Keter. Remember
Keter is not part of this Triad directly.
Daat is the word we find typically translated as knowledge
in terms of intimacy. We find Adam and
Eve having knowledge of each other in Genesis 4:1 this is speaking of a deep
connection between the 2 that goes beyond the sexual connotation it is
typically used in. This is also used in reference
of our relationship with the Creator as well that can be seen in Numbers 24:16. “The saying of him who heareth the words of
God, and knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, who seeth the vision of the
Almighty, fallen down, yet with opened eyes:”
It is a mating of two complementary forces that result in
some thing that is greater than the sum of its parts by being balanced. Extremes don’t mean incompatibility but
rather for mutual benefit when combined.
There are glues available that come in two tubes. In order to activate the glue they must be combined
and mixed. This is sort of the same with
Daat being a combination of Chochmah and Binah.
Binah is steady and firm while Chochmah is impulsive and changing. Combine the two and we have flexibility and
adaptability.
