Eheieh, the archangel Metatron, the angelic choir called Chayoth ha-Qadesh
(Holy Living Creatures) and the Rashith ha-Gilgalim, or Primum Mobile.”
- David Godwin Godwin's Cabalistic Encyclopedia
”In Kether is the Divine White Brilliance, the scintillation and corruscation of the
Divine Glory--that Light which lighteth the universe--that Light which surpasseth
the glory of the Sun and beside which the light of mortals is but darkness, and
concerning which it is not fitting that we should speak more fully. And the Sphere
of its Operation is called Rashith Ha-Gilgalim--the beginning of whirling (or whirls,
or whorls), the Primum Mobile or First Mover, which bestoweth the gift of life in all
things and filleth the whole Universe. And Eheieh is the Name of the Divine
Essence in Kether; and its Archangel is the Prince of Countenances--Metatron or
Metraton, He who bringeth others before the face of God. And the Name of its
Order of Angels is called Chaioth ha-Qadesh, the Holy Living Creatures, which
are also called the Order of Seraphim.” - Israel Regardie - The Golden Dawn
In the Jewish Kabalah, Kether doesn't always represent the infinite in the
absolute sense, it does represent the infinite within the framework of any given
system. The framework represented here, is the cosmos or man. Kether - crown -
represents the attainment of the total intention of Creation and Man. The
successful realization of the Creator's plan is, attained when we receive the
Crown. Kether is the ultimate perfection reachable by beings wherein they
become the Sons of God or be like him – sharing the Crown of the Kingdom of
Heaven in love and mercy. Kether unites all possibilities and is the seed of all
possibilities. It is associated with the crown Chakra in the Indian tradition.
Chakra theory is probably a reinterpretation of the Jewish Kabala in Indian terms.
It was developed after the arrival of St.Thomas in India by AD 52. Here the
seventh Chakra is the Crown which when reached gives direct communication
with the ultimate – God himself. Crown Chakra relates to consciousness as pure
awareness. It is our connection to the greater world beyond, to a timeless,
spaceless place of all-knowing. When developed, this Chakra brings us
knowledge, wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection, and bliss.
