Chokmah is a reflection of Kether and with Chokmah’s dynamic nature came Binah, the third seperah simultaneously. The Sephiroth are states not places, These two sates of being where born at the same time, because Chokmah is the impulse prior to manifestion and Binah is the manifestion. Chokmah represents the male\active and Binah is the feminine\passive. This is dealing with the positive and negative, force(Chokmah) and form (Binah). Chokmah is the bringer of form and Binah is the giver of form. In the Tao, Binah can represent the Ying energy. A Hindu could look at Binah as Shakti and her consort Shiva as Chokmah. This seperah is considered the great Imma which is mother in Hebrew. The gods Kronos, Saturn, and goddess Kali are very similar and this ties with the Saturnian archetype. One can understand the tree of life well with the archetypes of various gods, Greek in particular, and that’s what the Hermetic Qabalist does.
The energy of Binah is linked with Saturn. After all Binah’s planet in Assiah(material world) is Saturn. Astrologicallly Saturn is the planet of time, space, limitations, stability, responsibility, etc and with Saturn brings much understanding, but only with time and patience. There is much more on Saturn, but if Saturn spoke, it would say “what you sow, you reap”. With polarity, you grow and understand after going through some bad times as well. The Anima in Jungian terms is the feminine archetype of ones personality. In psychology, this seperah has to do with the subconsious and right side of the brain. Staying quiet and listening to your neshamah(intuition) with meditation is one way to keep your conscious mind quiet. With wisdom(Chokmah), one prays and to attain understanding(Binah) is to meditate and get the answer. Binah and Chokmah correspond with the third eye chakra. With an active third eye, both hemispheres of the brain function in unison.
The Supernal triad is complete; the triangle is a symbol of manifestion to which creation manifests. Genesis 1:2 metaphorically sums up Binah and Chokmah: the Ruach Elohim is the summation of the Supernal triad. The 6 days of creation have to do with the rest of the Sephiroth.
