“Let no one enter here who is ignorant of geometry”
—Statement above the door to Plato’s academy—
This site is an exploration of a modified approach to explaining a Kabbalistic Tree of Life system. The Tree of Life images on this site are based on the ten ideal numbers zero thru nine, a threefold formation schema, and are constructed using geometrical relationships derived by using only a straightedge and compass. This simple exercise is intended to encourage students of the Tree of Life to seek out different types of attributes and correspondence systems, which can be based on relevant connections between the different components used to construct their Tree of Life system. The ultimate goal is to find the most harmonious relationships between the components, concepts and design of the Tree of Life as possible.
There have been many different approaches to the Tree of Life over the years, but they are often overlooked because of all the versions proposed by a few popularized esoteric schools that dominate the bookshelves. Some of them even claim to be part of an ancient unchangeable esoteric tradition just to gain more validity or authenticity. However, the most important Kabbalistic tradition that most people overlook is the tradition of updating the Tree of Life construct whenever new factual information about life is learned. These proposed updates to the Tree of Life are not as radical as it may seem, except perhaps to those who are already fully invested in another system and fear losing their authority or even their whole sense of reality. In fact, this approach may actually help someone to better understand how all the components of Tree of Life can actually relate to each other in a more harmonious manner.
My intentions with this website are that others might be inspired by these ideas to take a leap of faith into the vast abyss of knowledge, without any preconceptions of truth, fear of being wrong, or the lust to be right. I can only hope to inspire a few seekers of truth to embark on their own rugged ride of self-discovery, without prejudice, as they search for wisdom, understanding, and the crown of inner light.
