The Zohar and the 32 Paths of Wisdom

Everything written in the Zohar is inspired by the mystical experience of the author into one of the 32 Mystical Paths of Wisdom. Any idea contained in the Zohar can be spectrally analyzed by its influence from one of the 32 Mystical Paths of Wisdom.

If you want to really understand a statement in the Zohar, you can find out which of the Paths are illuminating the thoughts of the Companions, ascend to these Paths through theurgic methods, gaze upon the concealed light of emanation, and, once you have arrived at this level, bask in the radiance of divine illumination, holding on not to what is your own but open to be filled with mystical insight, becoming energized thereby, and once this intellectual sanctification has been had, ascending yet higher to become unified and united with that spark of truth which has been kindled by those who shared in this unity before, and upon coming to this inscrutable height, comprehending the fathomless depth of insight revealed by the Companions in their discussions and conversations.

The following chart can be used to open up the Paths as a preparatory exercise before Zohar study.

  1. Dear Sir, thanks for sharing this wonderful chart. However there is something I dont understand. So I kindely ask for helping me out on this.

    I can see the left column is the english translation of the bible text in the middle column. But I do not know what is written in the right column. Could you give an english translation for this text?

    One more thing I always wanted to know,

    They say they extracted the path names from the genesis and they started with
    the first sephirot, Kether. Kether is spelled Kuf, Tet, Reish (KTR).
    Could you tell me how to discover the first path - name of Kether -
    which was revealed in the first paragraph of genesis?

    Thanks for support

    Best Regards
