Kabbalah portions IV

     Sephira Chohma – Wisdom

    The two sephira (spheres) situated under Keter in the mystic Tree of life are: Chohma and Binah (Wisdom and Understanding). They both are related to concept of Ajna (Third eye chakra), intuition, seeing the world beyond the veil.
Chohma is associated with: Wisdom, inner knowing, revelation, memory, Light, brain, skull, mindfulness; It is in the zone of conscious intellect.
Chohma forms a triad – triangle with Keter and Binah – the sacred symbol of arch. Michael, of knowing God and universe, higher consciousness, transcendent mind. It also can be read as symbol for the Christian Holy Trinity (God Father, Son and Holy spirit).

    This sephira represents human eyes – right eye – seeing hidden truth of the Universe, connecting with God through devotion and rituals. Color of Chohma is silver gray or indigo-blue.
   Chohma within the universal map of Tree is the first conscious intellect, first sparkle of existence in Creation. It is Oceanic consciousness, spiritual will and purpose. Chohma accepts the will of Creator as Father (Ab), and transform it into vast wisdom, which is formless. It takes her shape by connecting with Binah (Understanding).
Chohma is potential for development, purpose and manifestation of universal laws, genius, logos, pure spirit, transformation. It is the first manifestation of Ein Soph with the ideal plan for the worlds.

    The sacred name of God in Chohma is: Yah
Wisdom is in the right axis corresponds to tzelem Elohim – to the right eye and right brain.
Two partzufim (faces, aspects) of Chohma are: Abba Ila`ah (Higher father) and Ysrael Saba –Israel the Elder.
It is related to conscious mind, connecting with spiritual realm, visualizations and dreams; Chohma is intuition, finding seeds of truth in the universal laws, feeling the invisible forces of spiritual realm. In such way it is endless and formless.
Chohma is wisdom before words and language. That’s why this sephira is endless and does not differentiate between good and evil.
The human mind in Chohma is not quite aware, as it is impossible for him to grasp the unlimited Wisdom.

Chohma may be interpreted as “the potential to be”, derived from “koach” potential and “ma” (what is). In connection with Keter Chohma emerges from “nothingness” (Zohar II, 121a) if we see the infinite light of Ein Sof as nothingness (emptiness). This is the primordial ocean, the Will of God, the first spark of creation.
In the Zohar Chohma is accepted as “power of selflessness” – it is in state and ability to taste the Divinity through virtue of “selflessness”. When we realize that all things created are One and united as one; in this point we are all part of One Universe, one creation.

Chohma is the first power of conscious intellect inside Creation.
