According to the Kabbalah of mystical Judaism, the world was created out of ten emanation, or thought-forms, that arose from the mind of God. These paths . . . . help guide the unfolding of our soul according to its own predilection. They include beauty, mercy, splendor, wisdom, understanding, victory over the ego, discipline, ethics, nature and the mystical path." Dr. Joan Borysenko.
What a lovely thought. Of the ten emanations listed above, which one or ones would be the guiding lights for your life? I can see in my own life the influence of all ten. In my spiritual tradition, one might think of these as ways that can help one develop fully as a human - in a spiritual sense. Let us today think about which of the ten emanations can bring us closer to our true potential, and let us immerse ourselves in those emanations.
