ARCHITECTURE OF THE SOUL # 7

The Four Worlds are the Planes of manifestation.

These apply not only to the Creation but also to anything that we might create. Everything we do must also go through these four stages.

These Worlds correspond to the Five levels on the Tree of Life as below. 

With regard to Creation of the universe or multiverse as well as any of the Four Beings of Nature including us, the Four Worlds or Planes of Reality are as follows.

Emanation

Arising from Source

above Keter, the Crown sephira. 

In the beginning was the Word (or the Song/Sound/Vibration,) the Intention, the Thought. 

Keter emanating from Nothingness nourishes Creation.

Creation

 The plan or the blueprint. 

On the Tree of Life this embraces and requires

 both Intellect (Wisdom) and Mind (Understanding) - 

the two sephirot just below Keter. 

Wisdom is undifferentiated thought - the Einstein archetype. Einstein wanted to understand the mind of God and said that his powers of fantasy and imagination meant more to him than his cognitive abilities.

The Ancestors teach; 

To think like God is to think with imagination.

and

As you think it, so it can be, as you imagine and believe and have faith, so it will be.

Faith 

- not a true sephira - 

is interposed between Wisdom and Understanding and helps us gain access to Keter.

Creation is a property of Wisdom-Intellect-(Spacious Mind.)

Wisdom's imagination, however, requires Understanding-Mind to help it take form.

The shadow side of Mind-Understanding is Monkey (Narrow) Mind with its fear bound limitations of dogma, zealotry, denial, resignation, desperation, detachment and hopelessness.

They are balanced by Wisdom's Faith, Belief, Hope, Trust and Surrender. The shadow side of Wisdom-Intellect-(Spacious Mind) is heartlessness and a lack of Love.

Formation

 The elements and the mystery of the unexplainable ability of the Creator to make something out of nothing. This began with the Big Bang when the elements of the periodic table were infused into the void (Nothingness) to eventually become "Somethingness" and then slowly evolved into order through the world of Formation probably in seven periods of time (maybe billions of years) rather than seven days as in Genesis. There is no time on the other side of the veil between worlds.

The Spirit-Breath-Energy of Formation is contained in 

six sephirot

Love 

in the center is balanced by Mercy on the right and Judgment on the left. 

Ego 

in the center is balanced by Non-Attachment on the right and Attachment on the left (our attachment or non-attachment to our ego and persona as self-Cherishing, Desirous Attachment and Judgment.) 

Actualization

You, me and us in a physical body (and the other Beings as well) living here on Earth where we manifest our sentient existence.

Whenever we do any great project - unlike the Supreme Being -

we can only make something out of something else.

 The process follows the same Four Stages, for instance in the building of a hospital. 

First - the idea, the intention, the thought (Emanation.) 

Second - the plan or design, the architect (Creation.) This begins in Wisdom's imagination; 

"What cannot be imagined, cannot be fulfilled."

 Wisdom's imagination must take form 

with the help of Understanding. Understanding is the sephira of practicalities. How to make the plan fit to what the building contractor requires.

Third - the building contractor putting all the necessary artisans and materials together (Formation.) 

Fourth - finally the building materializes (Actualization.)

If we acknowledge the importance of all these Four Stages and put it out into the "Field," the Creator and our guides in a sensory stimulated active imagination we will have greater success in our ventures.

The correspondence of the 

Fours Worlds to the Five Levels of Soul 

is as below. So as not to confuse, the Five Levels are in magenta, the Four Worlds in purple. 

Hence also - our spiritual transformation will arise by "reverse engineering"- using the sephirot of the Tree, the Five Levels of Soul and the Four Worlds as a template, taking our sacred intentions to a higher level.
