Tiphareth : Beauty


Tipareth is the 6th Sephirah and is associated with the 3rd day of creation. Tipareth’s attributes are beauty and harmonic equilibrium. This Sephirah expresses the cohesive energy: causation of unification. Tipareth is the continuous spectrum reconciling the expansive energy of Chesed and the contractive Geburah. Tipareth is the sun of the entire tree and it is right on the middle of it. It circulates the energy of the higher and lower Sephiroth as indicated as the Hexagram. Tipareth is where the Divine (Kether)sacrifices itself though Geburah the destroyer in order to enter into incarnation, thus the even more dense plane known as the Astral is manifested. The ethical or etheric triangle is complete and has no choice but to reflect itself in a slower vibration bringing the Astral triangle. Briah(ethical) needs a plane for formation of its creative tendencies which is Yetzirah(Astral). So then all the incarnated Gods that are sacrificed for the greater, the solar deities, and illuminating gods are placed in this spehere such as the solar logos of Jesus Christ, the solar deity Ra, Apollo, Adonis, Iaccus, Dionysus, Orpheus, and Hare Krishna, because Hare is a divine incarnation of whom spirit and matter were in complete equilibrium.

Considering this microcosmically, with the psyche it is the imagination of Ruach. In Transcendental Psychology, the mystic sacrifices his personality for attaining contact with his Soul in Tipareth. It is the heart center or higher self\higher genius center also known by some as The Holy Guardian Angel. Kether is the Divine Spark, the monad of consciousness rather than consciousness itself, Daath is the bridge to higher awareness, and Tipareth is the individual pure consciousness itself. The four lower Sephiroth below Tipareth are the personality and the lower self. Tipareth and those above it are the individuality or higher self and lastly with Kether being the Divine Spark and the God incarnation.
This Sephirah corresponds with the Anahata chakra. We also see symbolism of this chakra with the Hexagram. The chakra where the spiritual and material meet and like Tipareth it is usually the highest the average Joe has attained.
