Chokmah means wisdom and it is the second seperah on the tree of life. In Taoism, the active\positive Yang would correspond to this sphere. Chokmah is considered to be known as the “Abba”, the great father, because it is the emanation of expansive masculine energy. The masculine virile force of Chokmah is the impulse of manifestion and thus is prior to manifesting itself. Kether is the essence of being and Chokmah is the emanating influence of pure being rather than a thing in itself. Chokmah is concerned with the inflow of cosmic energy. It is formless and the pure impulse of dynamic creation; and being formless the creation it gives is the emanation of every form. In Genesis 1:1 it states: In the beginning(Be'Reshit in Hebrew) Elohim created.. The word Be'Reshit is the primitive nature of creativity that establishes Ain Soph as the unifying guidance of Kether in unity with its radiant wisdom nature that is Chokmah.
The archangel attributed to Chokmah is Raziel(the secret of God), its angelic host is Auphanium (Wheels). Microcosmically, Chokmah corresponds with the left logical male side of the brain. In Jungain psychology, it can be the sphere of the Animus which is the masculine archetype of ones personality. The consious thinking mind is analytical thus making Chokmah a correspondence of the conscious mind. The Qabalistic part of the soul is the Chiah. The Chiah is pure awareness and It is raw consciousness. The Chiah’s function is the spiritual will as the true Will uncorrupted by addictive habits, attachments, and base desires. The true Will is independent from ordinary material cares. The lower will comprises of ordinary mundane cares, the will and fulfillment that never lasts. The lower will is the will of your personality tastes. The true Will is what you incarnated here to do and you keep coming back to earth till you get it right. Chokmah’s astrological correspondence is the Zodiac itself. Your natal chart is an excellent tool to know yourself.
