Imagen
In the 13th century, the Spanish Kabbalistic masterpiece Sefer Ha-Zohar articulated a vision of the cosmos so radical and "Highly Systematic" that it remains the definitive record of the Celestial Geography : the section on the Palaces ( Heichalot ). Moving beyond the fragmented surface of traditional theology, the Zohar seeks to move beyond the limitations of human perception to reveal the absolute Hierarchical Structure of reality —a multi-dimensional methodology for understanding how the unmanifested light of the One is concentrated and focused through the various "Halls" and "Chambers" of the spiritual world.

Moving beyond the fragmented surface of traditional biblical narrative, the Zohar seeks to move beyond the limitations of human geography to reveal the absolute Hierarchical Structure of the Heavens —a multi-dimensional methodology for understanding how the unmanifested light of the One is concentrated and focused through the various "Wheels" and "Faces" of the cosmic vehicle. For the Kabbalist, the Great Work was the systematic application of Visionary Theurgy to achieve the state of Absolute Sovereignty .
