Note: We have viewed Chesed through the thought of foundation and containing all
the necessary components or elements needed within to create the appropriate
building blocks of manifestation. Let's apply this ideology as we move through
Chesed in the Four Worlds and how the elemental attributions might apply.
Atziluth – the Creative Urge
The Supreme Lord of Life
* World of Origin (FIRE)
Gods/Goddesses of authority wielded through
a
higher emanation of Mercy and Love
Osiris - Zeus - The Dagda
In the sphere of Chesed, Atziluth is exemplified in
the archetypical energy of those deity who exemplify the
merit of sacrifice to achieve right action and the merciful
splendor of bestowing the fruits of these labors upon
humanity.
These Deity
act as the guiding Rays of Light towards the Divine and
remind us of our spiritual nature that is contained in this
incarnation within manifest form. Each of these Deity has
the potential, authority and capacity for cruelty and
destruction, but each has mastered the necessary control
that can be giving and merciful in what is provided. On
descent from the Supernals, the Deity within Chesed are a
reminder that Mercy is always the conduit that is first
attained from the Divine Source. The dismantling of that
Mercy that is seen as the energy flows to Geburah is
necessary for ultimate manifestation, but is not the
original source of intention. On ascent towards Kether,
the authority wielded by the Deity of Chesed is the final
stopgap or testing place of pure intent, before one may
stand the test of faith in Da'at and return to a natural
state of Divinity.
These God forms provide hope to humanity and
inspire the desire for re-absorption of SELF through Binah
and Chokmah and final return to the ONE of Kether, and it is
through the beneficence of their Grace that one may aspire
to Kingship.
Briah
– Creation of a Concept- Archangel
Archangel Tzadkiel
“The Righteous of God”
* World of Creation (WATER)
The
Archangel Tzadkiel is called " The Righteous of God".
It is his province that deems that a state of "right" and
"correctness" has been achieved once all the previous trials
and tests have been faced and successfully navigated. He
acts as the higher conscience of man; the man/woman
who does what is right and necessary because there is
nothing else that the individual can do. This is the only
vision that is seen and it is no longer tainted or skewed by
those energies that would produce haphazard correct action.
The course is solidly planned and firmly bound by all the
Laws to which it may be subject and all is in accord and a
state of abundance.
Tzadkiel is the angel of judgment who urges
us on towards this foundation of right-doing. He is the
holder of the what we only fleetingly know as our best
nature. It is his job to remind us as we move through our
mundane lives of what that best or Divine nature. His is the
voice that whispers in your ear when an action is not in
keeping with that Divine nature and his is the mage in our
minds that calls us forth from our daily slumber when we
become sated by illusory wealth and greed.
It is the
inception of the idea of our "goodness" that we can aspire
and fulfill our Higher nature.
Yetzirah – Forming the Image of the concept
Angels – Chasmalim
" The Brilliant Ones"
* World of Formation (AIR)

This angelic vision was recorded in Ezekiel 1:4, where he
talks about the beings “enveloped in brightness…which
gleamed like electrum” (ChShML). The figures into which
this cloud of the Chasmalim then proceeded to manifest in
this vision are the same as those pictured in the Tarot Key:
the human, the lion, the ox, and the eagle.
The Chasmalim
direct the focus of Archangel Tzadkiel's call
to "conscience" in a manner that will be both productive and
beneficial.
They are regarded as
those who act to bring cohesion and balance to that which
has been torn apart and reformed. They are the Angels of
FUSION and provide the fires that act in a manner of
cauterizing what needs to be healed from the act of excision
that occurred at Geburah. In this way they are also
considered the
restorers of order and work in conjunction
with the Seraphim (Fiery Avenging angels of Geburah) of
Geburah to light the way for new found balance amidst the
chaotic outpour at the level of Geburah.
Within the
jovial expanse of Chesed, the Chasmalim are the keepers of
cosmic joy and bliss. They are the warm feeling that
produces the smile of contentment and the the energetic heat
that is acquired by a good laugh and state of relaxation and
calm.
Assiah – The World of
Expression-Planetary
Jupiter
* World of Manifestation (EARTH)

The expression of Jupiterian energy in Chesed
is
about reaping the
abundance of flow and expansion by rising ABOVE the glamour/
seduction and overwhelming experience of unrestricted
receiving. It brings the lesson of learning the control of
Power (through Geburah's actions) before the use of power
may be claimed. There is an abundance of goodwill that can
be achieved through the application of restraint and taking
an asking only for the amount that is needed, and then
passing on what is left in excess to other's in need.
In this place
of expression, we are able to enjoy the rewards of right
action we have attracted to ourselves, and in so doing
provide the model for others to follow suit. |
