讀生命之樹
行卡巴拉之生命樹(Etz Chaim)——定十質、追廿二徑、識其象,於四界三柱之構中行冥想。
用時
- 欲察一質之屬與其聖名
- 欲解諸質之構相連(徑、三角、柱)
- 學四界(Atzilut 至 Assiah)及其於樹之層
- 欲行繫於樹上某處之冥想
- 追二質間之徑,需其希伯來字、塔羅、元素之對
- 用樹為象之圖以解一念或一系
入
- 必要:欲察之質、徑或構之元(如 Tiferet、Hod 與 Yesod 間之徑、嚴柱)
- 可選:傳承之擇(古猶太卡巴拉、赫密斯卡巴拉、比較)
- 可選:深淺之等(概覽、詳習、冥想)
- 可選:當下之境或樹宜照之問
法
第一步:定欲察之質或徑
定樹上之具體位與其本識。

Three Pillars:
- Pillar of Severity (left): Binah, Gevurah, Hod — restriction, form, judgment
- Pillar of Mercy (right): Chokmah, Chesed, Netzach — expansion, force, compassion
- Pillar of Balance (middle): Keter, Tiferet, Yesod, Malkut — equilibrium, integration
- 命用者所欲察之質、徑或構之元
- 定其於樹圖之位——何柱、何界、何三角
- 記其號(質為 1-10;徑古傳為 11-32)
- 識其傳承之境:古典(Cordovero、Luria)或赫密斯(Golden Dawn)
得:察始之位明於樹上。用者可於整構中心定其元。
敗則:若用者所請含混(如「言樹之事」),先示三柱十質之概,後問深察何處。
第二步:習質之屬
於所定之質,依古傳示其全屬。

Note: Attributions vary between traditions. Classical Jewish Kabbalah
does not use tarot or color scales (these are Hermetic additions).
Always note the tradition source for each attribution.
- 為所擇之質填屬之表
- 記聖名與其義(每質皆有獨之神名)
- 識繫其質之大天使與天使之團
- 錄星與色之對(記傳承:猶太或赫密斯)
- 述德(衡時之表)與弊(過或不及)
得:質之全屬之像。用者解質所表、行中如何呼之、其與他象系之繫。
敗則:若用者為對所淹,獨示名、譯、號、柱、一句之要。請而後詳之。
第三步:察連之徑
追連質與鄰之諸徑,記各徑之希伯來字、塔羅之對、元素或星或宮之對。

Note: Path attributions above follow the Golden Dawn system. The Gra
(Vilna Gaon) system and other Jewish authorities differ significantly
in path assignments. Always note which system is being used.
- 列連於所察之質之諸徑
- 各徑記:希伯來字、向(自/至)、其對
- 識越深淵之徑(介於至上與下質間)——此乃要關
- 赫密斯之塔羅對與猶太卡巴拉之內容分記之
- 觀其形:此質與何者最直接相通?
得:用者於境中見質——非孤立,乃由具體徑連於鄰,各徑載其象之重。
敗則:若徑之對令惑,專注於質之直鄰(連於何質)而不詳各字。用者備時再增字之對。
第四步:定於四界
置質或徑於四界之框,以解其顯之等。
The Four Worlds (Olamot):
ATZILUT (Emanation) — World of Archetypes:
Sephirot: Keter, Chokmah, Binah
Nature: Divine will, pure emanation, undifferentiated
Experience: Unity, source, the Ein Sof's first self-expression
Soul level: Yechidah (unique essence) and Chayah (life force)
BRIAH (Creation) — World of Thrones:
Sephirot: Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet
Nature: Creative intellect, archangelic, first differentiation
Experience: Understanding, moral discernment, vision
Soul level: Neshamah (divine soul, breath of God)
YETZIRAH (Formation) — World of Angels:
Sephirot: Netzach, Hod, Yesod
Nature: Emotional/astral, angelic, formative patterns
Experience: Feelings, imagination, dreams, astral perception
Soul level: Ruach (spirit, intellectual soul)
ASSIAH (Action) — World of Making:
Sephirot: Malkut (and the physical universe)
Nature: Material, elemental, the manifest world
Experience: Sensory reality, embodied life, physical action
Soul level: Nephesh (animal soul, vital force)
Key Principle: Every sephira exists in ALL four worlds simultaneously.
The "world" assignment above indicates where each sephira's PRIMARY
influence is felt, but Tiferet-of-Atzilut is different from
Tiferet-of-Assiah — same position, different level of reality.
- 識質主行於何界
- 記繫於該界之魂等(Yechidah、Chayah、Neshamah、Ruach、Nephesh)
- 述質之質於各界之等如何異顯
- 若察徑,記其留於一界或越界
得:用者解樹非平而為層——同構於四等實在重複,所察之質有具體「本界」並於諸等皆有顯。
敗則:若四界之框過抽象,簡之:Atzilut = 神、Briah = 智、Yetzirah = 情、Assiah = 物。問用者欲專何等。
第五步:冥想之行
引一冥想或沉思,繫於具體之質或徑。
- 立其境:以一句述質之核
- 議姿與息(簡:坐、目閉、自然之息)
- 示一觀想:想質為其色之球,於其身對應之點
- 設一沉思之問繫於質之德弊:
- Chesed:「吾於何處慷慨予之?於何處予以避不適?」
- Gevurah:「吾於何處立必要之界?於何處嚴致害?」
- Tiferet:「吾生中美在何處?於何處避和諧?」
- (各質宜調之)
- 終以簡誦或肯定之語用質之聖名(默或聲)
- 返常識,攜一具體之見或意
得:用者自智習至體驗質。冥想將抽象之象繫於己思。
敗則:若冥覺強或假,代以記誌:書五分鐘論質之質如何現於當下之生。書反省以異模達相似之整。
驗
- 已定具體之質或徑於樹上之位(柱、界、三角)
- 已示核屬(名、號、聖名、大天使、對)
- 連之徑已追,附希伯來字之對
- 已議四界之境(何界、何魂等)
- 已示冥想或反省之題
- 對異時記其傳承(猶太對赫密斯)
陷
- 混傳承:Golden Dawn 之徑對異於 Gra、異於 Ari(Isaac Luria)。必明用何系
- 視樹為靜:樹乃動——質相交,徑載氣於其間。示之為活系,非檔櫃
- 略 Da'at:「隱質」(Da'at/知)介於至上三角與下七之間。其非同義之質而為越深淵之關
- 過依對:對之表為圖,非地。助冥而不可代直觸質之質
- 忽其陰:每質皆有弊(qliphotic 之殼)與德。獨示陽屬乃殘像
- 躁進深義:樹之構似簡而深無極。先確基(十質、三柱),後引徑、界、深學
參
