I am presenting the simple concepts so you can understand the complex ones.
The sephiroth represent a Crowned figure whose feet rest on his Kingdom. The first sephira, Kether, is the crown, whereas the tenth, Malkuth, is the Kingdom. The other sephiroth represent both the spiritual qualities, as well as the physical characteristics of the figure.
* Note: Some who are not initiates, list the location of the spheres opposite of what I have. This is because they are looking at the Tree of Life. To get the correct position on the body, you have to back into the Tree. If you see any other position then what I have listed below, it's probably not a good idea to learn from that person/website/book. If they are wrong in this simple rule, they can't possibly understand the Kabbalah.
*The sephiroth are listed as follows,
- 1. Kether=Crown; top of the head
- 2. Chokmah=Wisdom; left side of the Face.
- 3. Binah= Understanding; right side of the face.
- 4. Chesed=Mercy or love; left arm,
- 5. Geburah= justice or severity; right arm
- 6. Tiphareth=Beauty; solar plexus.
- 7. Netzach=Victory; left leg.
- 8. Hod=Glory; right leg.
- 9. Yesod= Foundation; organ's of generation
- 10. Malkuth=Kingdom; the feet.
Kether is the first manifestation of Cosmic Light. From Kether, downward the light descends to the others spheres in zigzag form, known Kabbalistically as the Lightening Flash,
The light that manifests in Kether proceeds from the primordial point of Light first issued by God when He created the universe.
Beyond Kether. are the three veils of negative existence, Ain, Ain Soph and Ain Soph Aur, representing the Unmanifested, the Unknowable and the Absolute. The Kabbalist wisely refrains from discussing these veils with the uninitiated.
When he decides to work on the Tree for spiritual or material purposes, he draws down the cosmic light through Kether in the form of the Flash of Lightning. He absorbs the light into himself and thus energized, proceeds to carry on his magical work.
The Sphere where all the energy is condensed is Malkuth, the tenth sephira. Malkuth represents the material world and thus the magician himself.
The magician identifies himself with Malkuth and then brings down the power from the other sephiroth and absorbs it within himself through an act of will.
The sephiroth act in pairs, the one on the Right Hand Pillar working with it's opposite on the left, and then synthesizing their powers through the sephira that stands between them on the Middle Pillar. It is absolutely vital that the Kabbalist keep this in mind when doing practical work on the Tree, for If he should concentrate all the energies he has gathered on only one of the spheres, on either the left or the right hand side of the Tree, he will throw the Tree out of balance and will then experience some physical manifestations of a negative type. .
Kabbalist believe that all illnesses and unhappy experiences are the result of some form of imbalance in one or more of the sephiroth. This also indicates that the elemental forces composing the sphere in question are in disharmony with each other,
The spheres of the tree of life are likewise formed by combinations of the elements. As each sephira is ruled by one of the names of God and is thus a divine aspect, it is easy to see that the sephiroth are representations of the qualities of God, and are thus symbols of the gods of nature.
If we look at a diagram of the elemental forces in relation to the Tree of Life, from the diagram we can tell that the first triad-the first three sephiroth are ruled by the element of air. The second triad is ruled by the element of fire, whereas the third falls under the aegis of water. The last sephira or sphere is alone, since it represents the world of matter, and for that reason, it is ruled by the element earth.
Looking at the top of the diagram we see that each of the three columns forming the Tree of Life is controlled by one of the four elements. Again the lone sphere of Malkuth, sephira number ten is ruled by the element of earth despite the fact that it stands in the Middle Pillar, which is ruled by the element of air. This is because the other spheres are only states of consciousness and are not yet manifested in matter.
Malkuth, the depository of their combined forces, is the one that can transmit these forces to the physical world
This diagram is of great importance to the Kabbalist because it lets him identify at a glance the combination of elements that form each aspect of the Absolute, which is at the same time an individual god of nature. With this knowledge the Kabbalist can then do material work on the spheres of the Tree. We can see, for example, that the first sphere, Kether, is a combination of the element of air within itself, and thus is said to be air of air. The second sphere, Chokmah, is a combination of air and water, and so is known as water of air. The third sphere, Binah, is of the element fire and is thus known as fire of air, and so on.
**Long hubs tend to lose interest, so I am keeping these as short as possible.
Since I have no idea how to create tables on the hubs, I have provided a link to my Kabbalah site below for the tables of correspondence.
If you would really like to learn the Kabbalah, please take it in the sequence I will be providing. To miss one idea can cause you to get lost. There are many difficult concepts in the Kabbalah and Zohar. The Zohar is extremely complex. But is needed in your studies.
*Though it's not extremely important to know how to say the names of the sephiroth, it is very important to pronounce the God and Angel names. If your name is Mary and someone calls you Morey, would you turn to see who was calling you?
Impotant Notice
I just found a Hub which is being viewed many times more than mine. This hub is teaching the positions of the Sephiroth incorrectly. Why is this important? Because if you use that person's information you will stir up energy you weren't seeking. This can be very dangerous.
If the energies are used correctly, they can only help you. Used wrongly and it may harm you and others.
The Kabbalah wasn't kept secret just to hold knowledge no one else had, but to keep people from harming themselves.

How can we know Ultimate Divinity? We only have mortal minds which are limited and we see everything in dualities (me, not me, up, down, stable, not stable, moving, stopped). Since the very nature of Divinity, by definition must be beyond any sort of - Kabbalah Concept-Part 1
The Kabbalist sees God as the macrocosm and man as the microcosm. The physical manifestation of God is the entire universe composed of planets, solar systems, galaxies and outer space. This is the macrocosm....

Hey Double-Frick. I'm honored to have you stop by to read and comment on my hub.
I am trying, at least in the beginning to make it as simple as possible. It does get more complex. The study of the Zohar becomes extremely complex.
More is coming.
I am not a beginner to the Kabbalah but I enjoyed your post and am looking forward to what is coming next.
Thank you Kathy for reading my hub. Coming from someone who already knows Kabbalah that's a wonderful compliment.
Thank you again.
I like this hub. OH and what was that about the angry woman who got angry at you for being knowledgeable! It was hilarious!
Thanks for reading my hub ceciliabeltran..That person made a nasty comment about me after I wrote something she didn't understand. I asked her not to say that on the hubs. So then I got an email from hubpages saying she wanted me to answer her question. She did it so anyone could see and not just those on the hub. So in other words, she is a trouble maker.
Very well taugh tand easy to understand for those who do not know the Kabbalah. You are wonderful and intelligent.:)
Aww thank you so much. So are you and more.
This is brilliant Deborah. I'm reaching saturation point though ... yet I can't stop myself moving on to Part III.
Audrevea
Thank you very much. I feel honored when you read my work.
Hey Deborah, do you anything about The Book of Enoch? I've ordered a copy and it sounds like a fascinating read - it dicusses the angelic realms and fallen angels.
Audrevea..yes and there is one you can read online
http://www.hiddenbible.com/enoch/online.html and there are more online I'll find.
I can't find the good one but here is another link
Thanks. (I must have been tired when I wrote the above question... there are whole words missing from that sentence!)
No worries Audreves I have done that many times myself.
I know something about Kabbalah, but still I am listening Kabbalah program in Hebrew (learning Hebrew purpose). I think Kabbalah has not too much practical values. I believe it is even dangerous since any mysticism there is lots room for falsehood. In the second part of word Kabbalah is Alah. I think it is significant.
It is second part of Phoenician God Baal-Alah or Ball-Alath (female).
Very well written informative Hub. Thanks.
Baal is a common word meaning Lord, Master, Husband, Owner. The Hebrews stopped using the word in relation to God when other religions applied it to false idols.
The Kabbalah is a western word not a Hebrew one.
The Kabbalah is pure in form. It is trying to use the Kabbalah for wrong that hurts a person. Using it to seek God and His righteousness (The correct use) only brings blessings.
Obviously you have not truly learned the Kabbalah, or you would not have said that.
Which of the Jewish Prophets Practiced Kabbalah?
It wasn't called Kabbalah then because Kabbalah is a Western word. If you understood what Jewish mysticism is, you would know they all lived it. Thanks
Ahmad, I did not approve your remark because Kabbalah is not Magic. That's what Christians and Muslims say because they do not understand it. Kabbalah comes from Ancient Jewish Mysticism.
Mystics seek to really know God and his righteousness they seek the Kingdom within. As we do, miracles happen. Because of this, people call it magic. Some who are unlearned try to do magic with it. Because they are insincere, this can bring them many problems.
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you
And yes, all the Prophets sought to know God.
Our holy book Torah and Prophets and writings is where your Quran was copied from, except you changed it to suit your own agenda. It came along, long before the Quran did.
Your hate for the Jews shines through. Is hate of God?
I believe in the teachings of Yahshua, which was the name he came in. Jesus is a Spanish name, pronounced Hey-sous.
So I believe in the real Yahshua.
You have a nice day and work on your own relationship with God, instead of mine.
I don't care whether you approve or deny. Its OK.
What I understood from you comment is that SOME people also use it wrongly and perform miracles or hurt some one by making it look like a magic?
But the question then comes that WHO gives these people power when they perform miracles or magic using KABBALAH? Is it God or Satan or Jinns?
Lets suppose i learned kabbalah and then i use it wrongly and create strife b/w my friend and his wife. So it was by which means i attained this power???
Please avoid useless comments saying Muhammad (PBUH) copied Quran from Torah. How he could have copied anything from the previous scriptures when he was illiterate and could neither read nor write? In fact Half of the Rabbis of Madina embraced him as a messenger.
If I hated Jews, i wouldn't be talking to you at this moment. Neither our prophet (PBUH) hated nor any Muslim hate the righteous Jews. In fact we love righteous Jews, the true followers of our great Jewish prophets.
When I say Jesus, i mean the son of Mary, the one to whom God revealed Injeel (Gospels). Do you believe he is the Messiah?
Ahmad, I Have to laugh at your statement, and I quote "What I understood from you comment is that SOME people also use it wrongly and perform miracles or hurt some one by making it look like a magic?"
Because it's not what I said. If you can't understand simple every day statements that I make how can you understand the Jewish scripture?
I said "Mystics seek to really know God and his righteousness they seek the Kingdom within. As we do, miracles happen. Because of this, people call it magic. Some who are unlearned try to do magic with it. Because they are insincere, this can bring them many problems"
I didn't say "some make it look like magic. I said some use it to try to do magic.
TRY TO DO Msgic. I did not say they use it to hurt people.
I said "When they try to use it as magic and aren't sincere, as in seeking God and his righteousness, they cause THEMSELVES problems. The same thing happens when we say we are of God, yet live the life in secret or in public that is not a life like someone who is of God.
In other words, it can't be used for evil because it is entirely sacred.
If someone tries to use it for evil, it can't be. I never mentioned using it for evil anyway.
You have twisted all of my words.
So your insinuation you could use it to create problems between a man and a woman is invalid. It can't be used that way. Your insinuation that it is of the "Devil" is not true. Calling something of God, the "Devil" is blasphemy.
Saying you do not hate the "righteous" Jews, and love the righteous Jews, is not what Yahshua taught. He said to love your enemies.
He also said he didn't come for the righteous, but for the lost. Loving ONLY the righteous of any people, shows you have a long way to go in being a loving servant of God. Yah.
There is only one name where by which you can be saved. That is Yah.
Yes, Yahshua is the Messiah. He was and still is.
One more thing you twisted. I never mentioned Muhammad's name and never said he wrote the Quran, but someone did.
So you didn't reply to my comment, therefore with much respect, will you please remove all my earlier comments?
I request you to please remove all my earlier comments. Thanks.
Comments can not be deleted after a certain time.
I will remark on the things you said when I get the time.
I am asking you please, this time, not to tell me what to do.

Now you clearly said that some people use kabbalah to try to do magic.
This implies that magic can be done using kabbalah.
This also proves that it is absolutely SENSELESS to believe that magic can't be done for negitive things.
So kabbalah can be used to try magic and also to harm anyone because it can be used as a magic. then how can you claim it is sacred?
YES! I lknow that you never said that kabbalah is used for negitive purposes but the fact is that it can be.
Should i write those verses where Yahshua says to KILL any thing that breaths, to KILL infants, women, children, cattles? How can you say that Yahshua said to LOVE? YES! there might be verses that talks about PEACE but those which instigate VIOLENCE, you will neither quote nor love to see it.
Ahmad, you posted a link on my hub and I've already told you it's not allowed. I copied and pasted your comments (above) so the link would not show.
No, Kabbalah can not be used for magic. You can try to do magic with a Moose, it doesn't mean it works just because you try.
I've never said magic can not be used for negative purposes, I said Kabbalah can't be.
It is absolutely sacred and seeks to be close to Yah (God)
You twisted all my words because obviously you cannot understand the meaning of words and don't know how to think logically. You have to have two (2) premises that agree to come up with the correct conclusion about anything. Your's are all incorrect conclusions.
Yahshua never said to kill anyone. He even said not to be angry without cause. You do know that Yahshua is the man you call Jesus. Or are you just jumping to conclusions again. I thought Muslims like Jesus.
And Yah (God) did not say to kill everything that breathed. You say this because you don't understand scripture. Those who procreated with fallen angels and their offspring are the ones who had to die.
What are you talking about harming people?
Allah says to kill those who don't believe like the Muslims..that's a laugh
Shalom/Greetings,
Sorry for late reply. I signed in almost after many months. I saw a comment full of hate on yahoo with user "Deborah song". So you came into my mind and i signed in hubpages. Actually was busy on my youtube channel. Anyway, i dont want to engage in a debate with you whether you said this or that abt kaballah.
I know Yeshua is Jesus Christ whom Jews of israel believe to be bastard and impostor and israel tv makes fun of him.
Lady, you dont know our love for Jesus Christ. Our (Muslims) respect for Jesus is such that if a one Muslim doesn't add the word Alahesalam (peace & blessing be upon him) at the end of Jesus name, the other Muslim will straight away remind him of saying the complete name.
YHWH did say to kill anything that breaths, to kill women, children. but we Muslims believe these words are the corrupted words in the Torah and NT. YHWH never spoke these words.
lol, sadly u seems like a v hateful lady. Where does Allah says to kill those who dont believe? What a LOVE and respect Allah gave to the Children of Israel in the Quran, amazing.
Yes Ahmad, you think I am hateful because I don't agree with you.
The Hebrew scriptures are not corrupted. They are the same today as when Yahshua walked the earth.
I worship Yah (God) and not Yahshua. Yahshua never said to worship him.
You only think God said to kill everyone. You don't understand scripture so you falter
I don't want to continue with you. I have grown tired of this.

i've hesitated to delve into kabbalah because it seems to complicated.
seems other places i've read about it try to over explain it in hopes of sounding more enlightened, thank you for explaining it for the average me. :)
i love all your kabbalah hubs! Mooaarrr!!!
