Qabalah - Tree of Life - Tif'eret
This so important Sefirah is often translated as Beauty, or at times as Splendor (Cf 1 Chronicles 29:11).
On the glyph of the Tree of Life, is occupies its most central position, coming sixth in the order of emanation, and but fifth on our ascent. Interestingly, this sephirah has, in the Hebrew, five letters, and with Geburah and Gedulah (which each, under those names, also have five letters), make the three Sefirot of the section of the Tree lying between the veil and the abyss.
Below it is paroket, or the veil, for at the level of this Sefirah, one already has entered the spiritual realm with awareness - hence it is also often connected with the Beauty of Truth (in Hebrew, 'truth' is 'AMT', closely reminiscent of 'A-Maat').
In the order of emanation, this Sefirah is closely connected with the countenance of the Sun - with its esplendourous light raying forth through the veil.
As always, I look forward to other contributions!
