LEVI - on the Sepherioth

1 Kether- the Crown, the equilibrating power.
2 Chochmah- Wisdom, equilibrated in its unchangeable order by the
initiative intelligence.
3 Binah- Active intelligence, equilibrated by Wisdom.
4 Chesed- Mercy, which is wisdom in its secondary conception, ever
benevolent because it is strong.
5 Geburah- Austerity, necessitated by Wisdom itself, and by goodwill. To
permit evil is to hinder good.
6 Tipereth- Beauty, the luminous conception of equilibrium in forms,
intermediary between the Crown and the Kingdom,mediating principle
between Creator and creation.
7 Netsah- Victory, that is, eternal triumph of intelligence and justice.
8 Hod- Eternity of the conquests achieved by mind over matter, active
over passive, life over death.
9 Jesod- The Foundation, that is, the basis of all belief and all truth
- what we term the ABSOLUTE in philosophy.
10 Malchuth- The Kingdom is the universe, entire creation, the work and
mirror of God, the proof of supreme reason, the formal consequence which
compels us to have recourse to virtual premises, the enigma which has
God for its answer - supreme and absolute reason.
