Kabbala as a Symmetrical Coalescence; Dec. 9th, 2013



                   I'm adding to the Zenophile book because I know I can do a much better job of showing the miracle of collectivized cultural "Syzygy." The term syzygy comes from astronomy to mean alignment, but it also is used in tensor math to describe the focus of lines that align higher structures of otherwise unobservable order. I use this property of alignment to show higher orders of symmetry with my math art. In the case of the Kabbala, these structures of symmetrical order occurred to coincide throughout time as well as in the co alignment of data structures. Let me explain.

                   What most people call coincidence is in fact on a purely subjective scale. In each of the spiritual technologies I've written about, "Coincidence" is so grand and unbelievable, that if it is ever observed it is usually blamed on God. Intriguingly enough, In many schools of Mystical Thought "God is believed to be a non sentient intelligence. And in fact the universe and it's "Angels" per se, are what are called, "Intelligences." These informing Intelligences (Artificial?), are not self aware, We are. Or at least we are supposed to be. (A highly dubious proposition when we are confronted by the unaware selfish self destructiveness of the so called human intelligence.) So many of the beautiful constructions sprung from shared intuitive genius, have graced us with loving providence. This is where humility in the presence of "God?" is entirely respectable and wise.

                   First five books of the Bible, The Pentateuch, or The Torah if you like, became the source for commentaries and discourses in the Talmud, and later the Sefer Zohar, the "Book of Splendor." These works when broken down, (Enumerate Partitioned?) analyzed, and reconstructed, (Symmetrically Coalesced?) became first the Meta Map called the "Tree of Life." This has evolved out of the mystical traditions of ascribing hidden codes to the very cosmic Jewish Histories. There are considerable detractors for the use and abuse of these often obscure and questionable beliefs. The beautiful and elegant "Tarot Cards" (playing cards) have been distilled from this none linear process of extrapolation. Whether one agrees with the means, methods, magic or madness, there is no denying that Jewish mysticism has brought us a wealth of knowledge. metaphorical images with a language that splices perfectly into our popular contemporary culture. There are many so called "Rationalists," who would prefer that prohibitions on Jewish Mysticism from Rabbis had prevented the mass proliferation of what to most people is nothing more than fantasy and superstition. But the subtle utility and metaphorical good sense of the practice of Tarot has survived the pretension of absolute reason, bringing about a resurgence of Kabbala. As with all religious revivals, there are purists and dilettantes. Many elite sects derive their practices from faith in obscure traditions that are only vaguely understood.
