As a system, Kabbalah offers a simple basis from which can be modelled complex processes.
In the science of Complexity, this is called "surface complexity arising out of deep simplicity". For
example, a basic knowledge of the Hebrew letters can be utilised to model any number of dynamic
processes taking place in the Universe, through the Hebrew God-names.
(d) An instrument for interpreting symbols whose meaning has become obscure, forgotten or
misunderstood, by establishing a necessary connection between the essence of forms, sounds, simple
ideas (such as number) and their spiritual, moral or intellectual equivalents.
The network structure of the Tree operates as a kind of "Akashic Record", (a term sometimes
used to describe an astral library, accessible through altered states of consciousness such as
meditation, dreams, and channelling). It has a holographic structure which ensures that any item of
discrete information placed on it will immediately become highlighted by the information already in
place throughout the Tree. In this way, the Tree becomes a jigsaw into which pieces have particular,
unique positions. Although sometimes a piece may be placed, an idea considered, incorrectly, and it is
not noticed until you come to fill the pieces in around it! Thus, for some time, one might attribute
water to Yesod, and come to no real harm or confusion, until one day an increased knowledge of Hod,
Netzach and the Middle Pillar make it apparent not only that the correct and fitting attribution in
terms of the system is Air, but why that is the case as well.
(e) A system of classification of omniform ideas so as to enable the mind to increase its
vocabulary of thoughts and facts through organising and correlating them.
It is a commonly accepted fact that memory can be improved by collecting items of
information in sets, and the Tree enables one to do this in a similar fashion to the "Magic Room"
memory trick, where a room is strongly visualised in the imagination, and when a list is to be
remembered, the items in the list are mentally "placed" in the room, and so associated with "anchors"
already held in memory. The unlikely juxtapositions so created (a chicken on the shopping list placed
in the armchair, and a lettuce inside the goldfish bowl) assist the recall of the list. Once the basics of
the Tree have been mastered, new ideas from any source can be assimilated quickly or at least stored
in relevant "areas" in the structure. The Kabbalistic exercise of "Permutations", where letters of a
divine name are re-arranged and shuffled in a constant motion during meditation can provide a basis
of further exercises where areas of the Tree or Tarot Cards are shuffled to provide vast ranges of new
