ABSTRACT

The term elevation has two meanings: elevation with respect to physical place and elevation with respect to status. The highest place is the place around which the Spheres revolve. This is the Sphere of the Sun, the place of the spirituality of Enoch. Seven Spheres are situated below the Sphere of Enoch and seven others above it, and God's Sphere is the fifteenth. Among the most wonderful things is that the human being is the most elevated existent. Elevation is attached to him only through his relationship to a place, or to a grade, that is, status. His elevation does not derive from his essence. One can judge God's manifestation only through the substrate in which he is manifested. The fixed entities are manifestations of God, and the concrete existents are in turn manifestations of the fixed entities, hence the concrete existents are elevated by virtue of themselves.
