Sefer Yetzira

A GLANCE THROUGH THE BOOK OF CREATIONS : PROF. M. M. NINAN
Sefer Yetzira of Father Abraham
These Ten Intangible Sefiroth are ONE -Spirit of Living Elohim. Air from Spirit, Water from Air, Fire
from Water, Above and Below, East and West, North and South.
In Sepher Yetsira (Sefer Yetzirah), the Cube of Space is "sealed" with three autiot Yod,
Hay, and Waw the three roots of YHWH. These three signs (autiot) signify the
fundamental problems of existence (alive), life (in existence) and an active agent
connecting, or engendering both life and existence. While there is no order to these coexisting
signs, we may think of them in different orders according to different points of view.
The basic tenent of the chapter is tha both the macrocosm, the world, that is the
universe,and the microcosm, that is the human being, are all viewed as products of
the combination and permutation of Hebrew characters in the word of God. After all
the sentences in the words that we speak are simply the mental concepts of
something beyond expression encoded in sounds. This linguistic theory lie behind
the whole book of creation. The vibrations of the word added to the letters that are
encoded produced all that is created in essence or energies in all the dimensions of
cosmic existence.
Thus the whole creation is presented as an encoded reality made out of the very
emanations from YHVH himself.
In the absolute sense the creation is nothing but the “The world became flesh”
