SEELE the 10-tree-thing

[GiZMO]

Anyone know what its called?




I've found something about Sephiroth from FF7, and his affiliated name:

Sephiroth (FFVII): Sefirot correspond to qualities of God. They consist of, in descending order, Keter (the crown), Chokhmah (wisdom), Binah (intuition, understanding), Chesed (mercy) or Gedulah (greatness), Gevurah (strength), Tiferet (glory),
Netzach (victory), Hod (majesty), Yesod (foundation) and Malkut (sovereignty). The middle five qualities are mentioned explicitly and in order at I Chronicles 29:11: Yours, O Lord, is the greatness (gedulah), the strength (gevurah), the glory (tiferet), the power (netzach), and the splendor (hod). I have seen this passage translated in widely varying ways, but the Hebrew corresponds to the names of the Sefirot in order.

The Ten Sefirot include both masculine and feminine qualities. Kabbalah pays a great deal of attention to the feminine aspects of God.



The Sefirot are commonly represented as in the diagram. This diagram is commonly known as the Tree of the Sefirot or the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. There is great significance to the position of these various attributes and their interconnectedness.


The Sefirot are not separate deities, as some might think by taking this too literally. They are intimately a part of God, and yet they are in contact with the universe in a way that the Ein Sof is not. The Sefirot connect with everything in the universe, including humanity. The good and evil that we do resonates through the Sefirot and affects the entire universe, up to and including God Himself.

The Sephirothic System of Ten Divine Names, or you could just call it the Sephirothic System for short.

Basically the 10 paths to becoming one with God.

Hope that helps. :)

The Sephirotic System is also refered to commonly as the Tree of Life, opposite of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil whose fruit was consumed by Adam and Eve (Genesis). I don't remember where I read it, but I did read about becoming a god or become equal to god when you consume the fruit of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge. In EVA, it is safely assumed that humanity has descended from beings that have already consumed the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, hence why SEELE only seeks the Tree of Life, or the Sephirotic System and the Ten Divine Names/Spheres.

It's also called a Joshua Tree. Jesus's name in Hebrew is Joshua.

I've seen something like this in Yoga, my mom is a Yoga sensei and she has all this charts of a human body with 10 circles and something written in sanscrit. Don't know if it's the same, or just the 10 points of power of the body.
