The Tree of Life in Qabala/Kaballah - Meaning of Blue/Red?

From sjct@collectivedetective

The number one thing that Dion Fortune and Israel Regardie have in
common is the mystical and magickal use of Qabala. Fortune (I prefer her
spelling) taught the mystical uses of the Tree of Life glyph and Regardie
focused on the ceremonial magick applications of Kaballah (his
spelling). Now, it just so happens that I devoted seven years of my life to the
study and practice of the mystical Qabala and eventually wrote a book
(now out of print) about how I did it and the results I got. I have
participated in Golden Dawn and Society of the Inner Light rituals. I have
the books of these two folks on my book shelf and "know" both of them
on many levels.

What I think � in a purely intuitive "flash across my reason" kind of
way � is that during all the messages from the Guides, in the sorting
and re-sorting of us all into groups, we have been moving up the Tree of
Life. Right click on the link below so you can open it in another
window and follow along with my thinking.

http://www.borndigital.com/tree/index.html

Can you see where I think we are so far? The red initiates are half-way
up the Left-Hand Path and the blue initiates are directly across from
them on the Right-Hand Path. So where does that put the third group, the
"colorless" ones? Well, they could be in Tifereth (the site uses a
different spelling), the yellow sphere. This is the Heart of the Tree that
in one sense holds all the other levels of manifest existence together.
Now click on the word "Reveal" below the graphic. Right above Tifereth
is a symbol that the pop-out box labels "The High Priestess." Okay,
kids, I'm about to tell you what used to be an Initiates Only Secret: On
some graphic presentations of the Tree, another sphere is placed in this
position and it is called Daarth. All the other Seferoth/spheres have
various colors assigned to them for various purposes but Daarth is
always colorless. It has all kinds of evil associations and is sometimes
called "The Great Abyss" that has to be crossed over to attain Union with
the Unknowable aspect of God. In my studies and meditations, I arrived
at the understanding that Daarth is a portal to another multi-verse
that runs parallel, but opposed, to our own. This could be the rabbit hole
that Dale falls into and needs to be pulled back out of�

Really, I'm not sure how this helps us at this point but, at least, we
now have a potential graphic framework that allows us to think about
where we've been and where we might be going. Most children, upon seeing
the Tree of Life glyph, immediately see it as a game board where you
start at Malkuth at the bottom and try to make your way to Kether at the
top. And basically, that's exactly what it is in both mystical and
magickal applications. I have often thought it would make a hellava
immersive game and maybe our beloved PM thinks so, too.

more on daath

searching for better understanding of Qabala went to beginners site. provides info on Daath

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Troy/2795/index.html

which makes me wonder as opposed to being the "uncolored" group this might be what we will look for later.. IF our journey will be based on the Tree of Life "climb"

I tend to agree that the 3rd group might well be yellow (needed to balance the red and blue) as mentioned above
