Path #15: (Chokma-Wisdom to Tiphareth-Beauty)
Wisdom to Beauty: On the human body this path runs from the upper left side of the brain to the center of the chest and ironically resides entirely within the pillar of mercy.
You'd think that with these warrior associations coming up all over the place that it would be on the side of severity and not so pretty.
Here again there is the reminder of the ever-constant balance that must exist and also you might notice that our thinking is reversed in many ways in comparison to the truths given
here.
This position is your time on the throne of achievement. Your time to rule, to display your knowledge and abilities for the purposes of your cause here on earth, call it your Great
Work. At times it seems you are forced to rule.
Within this work you will have to commit total certainty toward a goal and doing whatever it takes to live up to that goal.
Being intelligent enough to realize when you have set your sites too far and also when you have not set them far enough.
When you have certainty you have harmony within your thoughts and actions, whether or not whatever you're doing is the right thing to do, at least you are convinced that it's the
right thing to do and that (certainty) is what gives the peace and beauty even if you're about to conquer a nation, snipe a terrorist, plant a flower or lock your car.
Knowing that you are doing the right thing has great underlying power attached to it.
I have been up against some really big people that wanted to hurt me (Lurch was over 7 feet) and because I have always known that I am in the right (and have good balance) I have
never fallen to any of them and I can't think of one that did not eventually become my friend or at least gain respect for me and apologize for their violent behavior.
I have always said; Being a Cabalist does not make me a pacifist.
When it's time to use physical force to avoid an otherwise unavoidable catastrophe the decision has to be firm and direct without falter to eventually incur peace.
You have to be able to pinpoint weak spots (in a fraction of a second) and exploit them whether or not you have any prior experience. Good trick.
I told Lurch that his weak spots were his ankles and that if he tried to hurt me that this was how he would fall and to just leave me alone.
What does this have to do with this path? Put yourself in this position of being given the authority to make important decisions.
This is commonly a position that you didn't openly decide to gain but one that you will probably find yourself in at some point.
Wisdom must come to play in a dangerous situation; the best way to overcome and overpower a potentially hazardous outcome is to use your power and knowledge to alter any
possible present danger. On this path you come to terms with that feeling within yourself. Trust of ability.
