CIKA 1091 The 49 Gates of God's Virtuous Power, Winter 2023

The concept of the sefirot is derived from Ancient Jewish spiritual tradition handed down from Mentor to student. This transference (handing down) is called Mesorah, and the reception is called qabal – קבל (Kabal) its acceptance is called qabala – קבלה (Kabbalah). Thus, Kabbalah is the reception of ancient Jewish teachings from the mentors and guides who have taught about Zohar and deep spiritual paths toward unity with The Eternal G-d. According to these Jewish Spiritual teachings, the Sefirot are Divine Emanations of Power and spiritual qualities through which the Divine energy flows in cosmic unfoldment in this present world. In this book, we will first give an overview of each of the Lower Sefirot. Then we will discuss the 49 Gates – Sha’arim of G-d’s Virtuous Power. Furthermore, we should see the Sefirot as the “Adamic Pattern” or “Image of The Eternal G-d” (tselem Elohim – Image of G-d).
