Personalization

Everyon e originated in the Will of God and was given Free Will. This freedom of choice, whether to move toward or away from the Will of God, makes a dynamic creation possible. However, to experience the fullest reality possible, God gives recourse to His Keter, the bright light necessary for life lived in color.

Actualization

Since Keter is a supernal aspect, it is best actualized through solitary thought and observation. In the Spring and Summer, the wonder of sunlight shining down upon fallen seeds that in turn grow to produce new life is a great example of this and can be found in any local garden, park, front lawn, or backyard. In the Fall, the harvest and result of the gifts of Light are apparent in the gathering of crops and the shedding of leaf and seed that provide the potential for the cycle to begin again. In Winter, Keter is the white blanket of snow concealing the Earth, forming the blank canvas from which renewed life will spring again.

Passion Reference

After a crown of thorns was placed on Jesus' head, Roman soldiers struck Him about the head, wounding His physical Chokhmah. The perfect physical manifestation of all aspects of the Image of God, He suffered wounds in every physical Sephirah during His Crucifixion.
