The ten Sephiroth and Daʿat, the hidden gate

Different teachings present the chakras in different ways, so a great deal of information can be found about them. In the teachings of Gnosis, the chakras also appear as “sacred discs”.

The chakras are psycho-noetic centres in the body: emotional and mental centres through which we receive, release and use energy. This page does not explore the different chakra teachings in detail, because here we focus primarily on the mental spheres described in Kabbalah, the sefirot. These are closely connected with the functioning of the chakras and negative elementals.

Within the ZOMYO system, the chakras are connected primarily with the astral plane, the emotional world, while the sefirot are connected with the mental plane, the world of thought. This does not mean that the astral and mental worlds are rigidly separated. Most emotions are accompanied by thoughts, and most thoughts are connected with some emotional quality, so the two work hand in hand. Our feelings influence our decisions, but we shape those decisions in the mental world by considering our thoughts.

Alongside the ten visible sefirot, Daʿat appears as the hidden sefira, the gate of knowledge. Other Kabbalistic perspectives may speak of additional sefirot or different arrangements. On this page, we preserve the perspective presented within the ZOMYO system, together with the knowledge and systems I learned from masters and teachers. Our aim is not to mix different systems or present every perspective in detail. The emphasis is on authenticity, clarity and enabling people to work with the presented qualities in practice.
