Kabbalah Prophetic Position And Prayer

Prophetic Position And Prayer In Kabbalah Mysticism:

Prophetic Position:

Sefer Yetzirah says "Ten Sefirot of nothingness, their end is embedded in their beginning and their beginning in their end. Like a flame bound to a coal"

They bend themselves, like reeds placing their heads between their knees. All their faculties are nullified. As a result of this they see the Supernal Light with true wisdom and not with allegory. This position is also associated with meditation on the houses and rooms in the magic squares that I will discuss later in another hub.
If you wish to enter into this mystery. Contemplate (Hitbonen) the rooms that will be discussed, together with their lights, colors and letter combinations. Meditate (Hitboded) on this for a while either, briefly, or at length. Begin by placing your head between your knees. I have included a remarkable prayer that should be said while in the prophetic position.

Prophetic Prayer:

Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh Crown me (Keter).
Yah, grant me Wisdom (Chokhmah).
Elohim Chaim, grant me Understanding (Binah).
El, with the right hand of His Love, make me great (Chesed).
Elohim, from the Terror of His Judgment, protect me (Gevurah).
IHVH, with His mercy, grant me Beauty (Tiferet).
Adonoy Tzevaot, watch me Forever (Netzach)
Elohim Tzevaot, grant me beatitude from His Splendor (Hod).
El Chai, make His covenant my Foundation (Yesod).
Adonoy, open my lips and my mouth will speak of Your praise and Kingdom (Malkhut)

About The Chant:

The person saying this prayer in the prophetic position will immediately notice that this chant includes the Ten Sefirot, as well as the Divine Names associated with them. This is the only place where we find an actual Meditative practice involving the prophetic position. The chant involving the Sefirot is also unique. It is from Damascus, a city that had a continuous Jewish community dating back to Biblical times, which preserved these ancient traditions.

For Those Who Have A Problem With The Position:

You can sit against the wall and bring your knees up and place your feet on the floor. Than you can lean forward and put your face in the prayer position as stated above. That way it won't hurt your back so much.

A friend and fellow hubber, Tantrum adds....Daath. Make me strong to cross the Abyss.
