Binah (from) - to Chokmah: from justice to grace

05/22/2010

When a person decides to walk God's path and keeps unfailingly to his or her decision, the lords of destiny, the twenty-four elders who abide in the sephirah Binah, have to take note of the fact that this being speaks their language, the language of stability. Then, they change the decrees concerning this person, so that new possibilities and greater freedom must be allowed them. But the elders are not in a hurry; they wait to see how long the person will persevere. And when they see them faithfully continuing to progress on the right path, they are virtually obliged to write a different page into that person's destiny: a page where providence, that is, grace, appears. Grace belongs to the sephirah Chokmah, the region on the sephirotic tree directly above the sephirah Binah. The twenty-four elders confer with it and pass on the person's file with a favourable opinion! So providence begins in the region of Chokmah. The sephiroth below Chokmah are ruled by justice and karma, but at Chokmah, the region of the Christ, we are under the rule of grace, that is, of freedom.
