Chapter Five; Chockmah, <strong>The</strong> Quarry of Devotion Chockmah, meaning "wisdom", is the second Sephirah in the "lightning flash" descent of the Tree of Life, and takes its place at the top of the positive pillar. It is "negative" only in respect of Kether, from whom it receives its influence (Mezla), and positive in respect of Binah ("Understanding"), the third Sephirah. It connects to Kether, Binah, Tiphareth and Chesed, and the linking paths have the following Tarot cards attributed to them; Fool, Empress, Emperor, and Hierophant. In the Berakhot (7a), it is written "the beginning of thought, and the first revelation of the array, is the second Sefirah, which is called Chockmah-Wisdom", and in the Sepher Yetzirah, Chockmah is more fully defined as "the Illuminating Intelligence, the Crown of Creation, the splendour of Unity, equalling it. It is exalted above every head, and is named by Kabbalists the Second Glory". Chockmah is essentially the concept of force, dynamism, and energy. It is the extension of the point of Kether, contracted from the Ain, into manifestation as a line. In terms of Astrophysics this process took place a ten-millionth of a quadrillionth of a sextillionth second after the explosion of the singularity of Kether. <strong>The</strong> fundamental forces of Nature were tied together in one "superforce". <strong>The</strong>se forces are now defined as Electromagnetism, Weak force, Strong Force, and Gravity, acting in ten possible dimensions, which neatly mirrors the Kabbalistic scheme of the four elements and the ten Sephiroth. In <strong>The</strong>ological terms, Chockmah represents the Logos, the "Divine Word" or Will. All that was potential in Kether is now directed, and what was merely "location" now has "direction". Logos translates as either Word or Thought, and hence is taken as the self-expression of God. In Heraclitus, Logos is the underlying balance or rationality in the manifest world of flux. <strong>The</strong> Stoics took this idea as the Reason of the Universe, God. <strong>The</strong> "divine plan" that Mystics search for has its place in Chockmah, the layer of the creative process wherein the lattice or "array" is formed. Jewish thinkers, on the other hand, identified the Logos with Wisdom, and the Memra, or Word. John states "In the beginning was the Logos", and the "Wisdom of Solomon" says "Like a fine mist she [wisdom] rises from the power of God ... she is the reflection of the everlasting Light ...
