Dance of the Omakim/depths

People around the globe are counting the forty-nine from redemption to revelation. The counting of the omer, the seed. The repeated seven directions/faces of the cube of space give us the 7X7 and the kamea or grid of Nogah/Venus(above left). It is all about the center and our relationship to the Sabbath in our lives. As a theme of this blog there has been a foundational change in the world of the mekubal in this olam/world. We are awakening the center Source(ayin of 5-770=the Source) of all that is into our physical creation and hence a global soul awakening is the nature of the turns of the Mother earth now. Much debate has occurred about the sephirot and the directions and the planetary chiefs that they represent as we count the forty-nine from redemption to revelation. The traditional Tree of the omakim/depths gives Nogah/venus to Netzach and the direction “up”, While Kochab/mercury is associated with Hod and the direction “down”. People familiar with aboriginal shamanic practice and worldview will see something different here since neither of the planetary visible globes Venus or Mercury can ever be “up” or ‘down” by themselves since they are always near the globe of the sun being within the orbit of Earth. Only the outer planetary chiefs mars,Jupiter and Saturn are visible directly “up” at zenith by themselves in the night sky. These therefore were especially regarded in the ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian and Native American cultures because of this ability to appear at zenith by themselves. Since we have entered the forty year period of global awakening in 5750/1990 the visible “planetary” chiefs could be rearranged with the directional omakim/depths=sephirot to better understand where we are now in relationship to center/Sabbath. The little book called the Sepher Yetzirah is a great key for the mekubalim without any dogma or mention of any particular obligatory belief system. It is creed-less like the core Jewish teachings and experiential at it’s root. The Sepher tells us about the five continuum worldview, where the center is by Name and that we need to “lower” the Center/Source into this olam/world. Beautiful in the simplicity. For earth centered folks now we can easily see that the “Three” realms that the Sepher Yetzira tell us the world is built upon are the three special movements of the planet Mother earth - rotation=lev/heart being(soul); orbit=gilgul/wheel time; and precession wobble=Tali/sky space. Zachor Shabbat- remember the Sabbath and the Source of omak/depth(direction), this Pesach Sunday!
