We have, reaching Kether, also reached the apex of the elements as examined within the Four Worlds. The world of Atziluth is that of Fire acting upon the world of Briah; moving through its waters that are both carrier and container. Yetzirah breathes the Word of Life into those fluid states of movement and from their depths manifestation comes into being in the World of Assiah.  As we have stated previously, all four of the worlds are carried within each of the spheres, acting upon their specific energies with every sphere below Kether reaching further downward into a state of dense and formed matter.

Within the prime sphere of Kether, these worlds ebb and flow, each into the other shifting and changing tides between outward pulse and in-spired breath. Each in its most refined and essential state. Each the godhead of creation within its own realm.

Atziluth – the Creative Urge 

The Supreme Lord of Life

* World of Origin (FIRE)

The Great "I Am"

In the sphere of Kether, the principle of the Supreme m Lord of Life is taken in its most literal sense. It is both formless and timeless and its energy is that of being the “cause” of manifest form. It is the Source from which all else came into being. In this sense we may place those Gods who are considered the Father’s or Rulers of all of the Gods. In this form we also see that Kether is not only the energy from which issues forth others, but that there is mastery and authority over that process and that what is brought into existence is so wholly a part of itself that it also is Divine in nature.

 Briah – Creation of a Concept- Archangel

Archangel Metatron

“The Angel of the Presence” 

   *  World of Creation (WATER)

The Archangel Metatron is seen as Sandalphon in the world of Malkuth. His name is derived from the Greek "meta ton tronos" meaning "near thy throne". His is the energy that filters and moves the primal energy of the Creator towards its goal of manifestation.  Metraton communes with the supreme Creator and instills in man the feeling of Divinity that stirs his aspiration upwards towards an evolved state of consciousness.

Yetzirah – Forming the Image of the concept

Angels –

" The Four Holy Creatures "

* World of Formation (AIR)

The entities that are attributed to the sphere of Kether are the Four Holy Creatures. The Four Holy Creatures are the Higher experience of the Kerubim of Malkuth in their evolved states which encompass the necessary foundations and components to produce Form from that which is Form-less.

These are represented as the Winged Man, the Eagle, the Winged Lion and the Winged Bull. We also see that these are the Fixed signs of the Zodiac: Aquarius – Leo – Scorpio – and Earth.

     Ox                               Lion                             Eagle                       Man

      _                                 b                                 e                         h

Strength/                     Courage/                     Swiftness/               Intelligence/

Patience                      Nobility                        Aspiration               Devotion

These Fixed signs represent sustainability, longevity and permanence and form the central points or core of foundation. It is from this foundation that the energy of Kether flows in a cardinal (building, burgeoning) method of creation and once that creation is stabilized, the energy is sent out in a mutable (flexible, resilient) way of release towards its manifest form.  

A further lesson of the action of the Four Holy Creatures lies in the law that in order to act as creator, we hold mastery over the elements that permeate the world(s) in which we are creating. These elements are that of:

·        Air/breath or the speaking of the WORD

·        Fire/Will and Desire to reach beyond the confines of itself

·        Water/the condensor through which creative energy may be conducted

·        Earth/the container and the result of the creative effort.

·        And, in the case of Kether, the fifth element, that of Spirit. 

It is the synthesized, pure essence of Kether that transmutes those elements into useable- creative form. It is fitting that these Four Holy Creatures also represent the Ages of Humanity. For Humanity as a collective whole Itself must transit through the elements of evolution before coming full cycle back to the primordial place of its collective creation.

Assiah – The World of Expression-Planetary

The First Swirlings

* World of Manifestation (EARTH)

Kether is the Primum Mobile ~ an original creator, from the Latin meaning "first cause or first mover". These first swirlings are composed of

Nebulae. Diffuse nebulae are clouds of interstellar matter, namely thin but widespread agglomerations of gas and dust. These are the swirlings of cosmic dust which through its Force gave rise to Form. 

" …an inaccurate but useful analogy is the fitful stirring of a motor in its starting stages before the explosive gas takes fire to continue the work with regularized cycles."
