The one who will soon appear, the one who holds the key to the future of the Earth... P.181 SATSUKI I am one of the Seven Minions, and I am supposedly going to fight those who are called the Seven Seals. I wonder if Kamui is like Ain Soph... one who is unreachable by the normal conscience of a human, an absolute power that surpasses even God. {Before Kether, there exists Unmanifest, which is the potential of the potential. Kether is separated from Unmanifest by the three Veils of the Negative Existence. Ain - Negativity, Ain Soph - The Limitless and Ain Soph Aur - The Limitless Light. These Veils are stages from the Unmanifest to the first manifestation - Kether. Satsuki-chan refers to the second of the Veils here - Ain Soph, the Limitless. Since God himself manifests first in Kether, the Ain Soph is indeed beyond even God.} Maybe that refers to you guys. Any entities other than you guys are just plain boring. P.182 SATSUKI I wonder if Kamui will let me have some fun.... ENGINEER Satsuki! The next test! SATSUKI .... I'm bored. I'm sick of this place, too. .... You're that way too? Then.... Let's get out of here. -----End----- {And now for the Quabalah / Sephiroth information. Thanks again to Subaru-kun!} 1). The Quabalah, itself, is a system of relationships among magical symbols, which allows one do understand the meaning behind those symbols. Historically, Quabalah is a system of beliefs, which was originated with ancient hebrews and was later on adopted by the Christians and has been rewritten many times since. Different people tried to bring a lot of different stuff into Quabalah, from Scientology teachings to Buddhism and yoga. Just as it always was, different people have entirely different ideas of Quabalah. 2). Tree of Life. The basic diagram of Quabalah and its most important symbol. It consists of ten spheres, called Sephiroth (sing: Sephirah) interconnected by twenty two paths. (Note: In Quabalistic symbolism, Tarot Trumps each represent one of those 22 Paths.) There is also 11th, 'invisible', Sephirah, called Daath. It was not featured in orthodox hebrew text and is considered to be a later development. Tree of Life can be taken (and was indeed taken) to represent anything from the spiritual map of the universe, to the history of the Creation, to the structure of the human being. It is an abstract symbol that was (and still is) an subject of much philosophical speculation. 3). Sephiroth. (Singular: Sephirah). The component parts of the Tree of Life, each one carries a symbolism of its own. There are 10 of them, arranged in a numerical order. 1) Kether. 2) Chokmah. 3) Binah. 4) Chesed. 5) Geburah. 6) Tiphareth. 7) Netzach. 8) Hod. 9) Yesod. 10) Malkuth. In the most traditional interpretations of the Tree of Life, Sephiroth are taken to be stages of emanations of the Spirit of God in its progress from noumenal existence to its physical form in the physical world. Kether is the point of Creation, the infinite potential, without a form or shape. Malkuth is the whole of the physical existence. The others are stages in between. Again, as previously mentioned, this is but one of the interpretation of Sephiroth.
