Daath - cosmic memory

01/30/2005

Man, the reflection in microcosm of the macrocosm, is the repository of all cosmic memory. He possesses within himself the archives of the universe which are represented symbolically in the Sephirotic Tree by the Sephirah Daath, Knowledge. Daath is original matter, the primordial matter over which God breathed at the beginning of the world in order to fertilize it. Because matter is the substance of creation, it is able to hold memory. The spirit awakens this memory by moving lightly over matter, just as a breeze makes the strings of an aeolian harp vibrate. Only our inner silence prepares the conditions for the awakening of this original memory.
