Kochma is the realm of
the third eye, deepest meditation, ultimate benevolence, masterful
creativity.
Kochma, or "Oceanic Consciousness," is the second
sphere after the abyss; It is the midst of the spiritual realm,
on the same level as Binah, balancing the highest energies in
readiness for Keter.
Kochma, forming a triad with Binah and Keter, balances three
forces: Spiritual love and awareness (Binah),
Spiritual will and purpose (Kochma), and the infinite realized
self (Keter). These three spheres could
be compared to the 'Father, Son, and Holy Ghost' in the Christian
pantheon.
Kochma is the wisdom beyond reason. Spiritual leaders and people
who inspire us can embody this quality.
Potentials of Kochma: Developing purpose and initiative, manifesting
the universal plan in the world, genius, logos, pure spirit,
transformation.
Kochma is the first real manifestation of en soph, containing
the ideal plan of all the worlds.
Kochma is pure, undifferentiated mind, before words - the tools
of differentiation. With words come the "olam ha pirud,"
the "world of distinctions."
Who is wise? The one who learns from everyone they meet.
The person who operates from Kochma can even learn from evil.
Only on the lower levels, starting with Binah, where words and
language begin, does differentiation between good and evil occur.
Balance, always a core concept in Qabala, manifests itself in
the transpersonal triad as a synthesis of our highest thinking,
feeling and awareness.
Transpersonal Triad "colors" are light, the absence
of light (dark), and half-light.
The fragrance ascribed to Kochma is Musk. The characters associated
with Kochma are Poseidon, and Neptune.
