ABSTRACT

Life is a series of balances that are all interrelated. The system of the s’firot1 is a beautiful way of describing these relational balances that we seek in our own lives and in our interactions with others. The s’firot are related to the four worlds: the physical, the emotional, the mental, and the spiritual. This system, which is also known as the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, also balances vertically, with the question of how much of us is physical and how much of us is spiritual. Let us examine each of these relational balances to see how they work, both intrapersonally and interpersonally.
