The Sepher Yetzirah, also known as the Book of Creation or the Book of Formation, is a mysterious and mystical part of Jewish esotericism. The word Sepher or Sefer roughly translates to book, while Yetzirah translates to creation. The Sepher Yetzirah, like the Kaballah, assigns a numerical value to each Hebrew letter. The Zohar is traditionally referred to as the foundation of the Kaballah, a set of commentary on the Torah. However, the Sepher Yetzirah predates the Zohar, which gives us a fascinating inquiry into the profundity and insight of such a collection of writing. The book, by the estimate of my research, is an exact recounting of the Master Geneticist Prince Ea creating the Earth. When evaluated from a numerical standpoint, the words of the Sepher highlight the consciousness embedded in our DNA. According to the research of Dr. Gregg Braden, the Yetzirah is an exact, step for step recounting of “what it took to get human kind to where it is now, today.”

The book works to combine the ten utterances of God that created the Earth with the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The ten utterances represent the ten numbers, 1-10, as well as the number of fingers of the human hand. From the first line of the Yetzirah, there seems to be an undeniable link between numerology and consciousness. Furthermore, the creation of this text seems to act as a personal ascension path as well as the foundation for creation itself. This supports the universal law of correspondence, that the microcosm is one with the macrocosm.

“These ten Sephiroth which are ineffable, whose appearance is like scintillating flames, have no end but are infinite. The word of God is in them as they burst forth, and as they return; they obey the divine command, rushing along as a whirlwind, returning to prostrate themselves at his throne.” 1

A sephiroth is defined as an emanation, and the Yetzirah is quite clear in highlighting that all emanations are not only infinite, but extend from the One Source. It is important to note that in the Kaballah, all emanations of the one source “prostrate” themselves upon the Malkhut. In my own research into galaxies and quasars, it is interesting to the note that modern science has come to refer to the emanation of a new galaxy as a “Finger of God”. Physically, we see that each of our fingers are connected to the hand, which acts as the One Source for our sensation and our ability to “do”. In energetic healing, we find that the palms act as a receptor and projector of energy. In prayer, we find that holding our hands together creates a unification of our energetic field, as all sides of the toroidal field are influenced by this interaction. In the Kaballah, there are ten emanations of the One Sephirot, which would add up to eleven. However, in the Kaballah, each Sephiroth holds a specific vibrational frequency, thus holds a specific name. Included in the article is a picture of Kaballah for reference. Keter, the crown expression of the Kaballah, and D’aat, are seen as conscious and unconscious, respective, emanations of the same energy. Keter is also known as Kether, which reminds me of a combination of “Ka” and “Ether”. The hands act as the medium for the interaction of the the bodies Ka and Ether, and the function of the hand flows from the brain signals that culminate in their highest form in the crown chakra. Already, the Yetzirah is continuing to affirm to the interconnectivity of all things.

The twenty two letters are said to be formed from the Spirit itself, which manifest first in the form of Air. Air is fascinating as the creator of language, as no matter what language we speak or interpret, each is all the emanation of breath.

“Three of which are mothers, A, M, SH, seven are double, B, G, D, K, P, R, T, and twelve are single, E, V, Z, CH, H, I, L, N, S, O, Tz, Q, but the spirit is first among these…”

The creation of these letters is second in the process of the elemental creation of Gaia. It seems, that not only in human history but in cosmic history, each planetary body holds infinite light information. Each element is the foundation for a fundamental aspect of energy, and each element seems to represent a different state of vibratory energy. From each elemental creation, the next comes forth. From the letters and vibration of air, the character in this creation story creates Primitive Water. From the fire, and the other elemental vibration, all forms of life emerge onto the earth plane. There is a moment through which this creator seals the height, depth, East, West, South, and North through the ten ineffable existences. My vision is of Ea using his hands and consciousness to imbed codes of consciousness into our planetary grid. However, it seems that when the Yetzirah is evaluated in the context of human creation, this text could very well be accounting the creation of human DNA. Interestingly enough, the human DNA has 23 pairs of chromosome, 1 representing the X or Y, determining gender.

“Thus in combining all together in pairs are produced these two hundred and thirty-one gates of knowledge. And from Nothingness did He make something, and all forms of speech and every created thing, and from the empty void He made the solid earth, and from the non-existent He brought forth Life.”

Again, the number 231 appears again when the book speaks of two hundred and thirtyone modes of entrance into a sphere. This reminds me the most fully developed magnetic grid of our planet, offering 231 nodes of entrance in Gaia’s etheric field.

The Yetzirah refers to the twenty two letters composed of seven double letters, three of which are mothers, and twelve are single. The seven double are B, G, D, K, P, R, and T. The three mothers are A, M, and SH. The twelve single are E, V, Z, CH, H, I, L, N, S, O, Tz, and Q. Of the seven double letters, each could represent a chakra within our etheric being. The further the Yetzirah dives into the creation story, the more it seems that it is recounting the creation of man. However, the reason for some of these letters belonging to a single, some belonging to double, still alludes me. However, these are the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, which means that there true character form would look different than their English representation.

The three mothers are referred to as the foundation of the whole, meant to resemble a balance. The balance exists between good and evil, merit and guilt, while the SH represents the “oscillating” tongue that gives rise to both. It seems that these three mother letters represent the polarity of expression of breath, whether used for good or harm. The Yetzirah goes on to describe the three mothers representing Fire, Water, and Air, or in space/time, Heat, Cold, and a Temperate climate. Furthermore, there exists a link between the three mothers, which give rise to three fathers, balancing in the Macrocosm and the Microcosm.

“These three mothers again represent in the Microcosm or Human form, male and female; the Head, the Belly, and the Chest; the bead from the fire, the belly from water, and the chest from the air lieth between them.”

The divine balance of this power seems to allude to the Holy Trinity, head, pineal, and heart. In Gregg Braden’s research (I highly recommend his show Missing Links on gaia.com, the link in the description) each of these formative energies, be it double letters, ten utterances, three mothers, etc, all represent a different numerology, linking these letters and phrases to our periodic table of elements. He traces this through many different languages and alphabets, not only Hebrew, but Arabic, Sanskrit, Greek, Cuneiform. This allows us to understand a mystic text like the Yetzirah through a concrete, mathematical structure that can give us greater insight into it’s true meaning. For example, the atomic mass, the atomic weight of Hydrogen is linked to specific letters in all of the aforementioned languages. In Hebrew, Hydrogen is represented by M, or pronounced Mem. So the Yetzirah we are reading is indeed the Latin version, which means that the actual original text in Hebrew would give us an even clearer interpretation of what elements, or fundamental energetic states of creation things like the three mothers represent. Interestingly enough, Mym means water in Hebrew, or H20, and this is created by crossing M M with Oxygen, or the letter Y. Even more fascinating, the letter Y is an abbreviation of Yhwh, also known as Tetragrammaton. For more information, see Nassim Haramein’s presentation on the Ark of the Convenant and Tetragrammaton. Yhwh adds up to 26, and represents elemental oxygen, which in 2 fact has an orbit of 2-6 electrons. Furthermore, the Yetzirah speaks of Tetragrammaton:

“Three mothers, seven double and twelve simple, these are the twenty-two letters with which I H V H Tetragrammaton, that is our Lord of Hosts, exalted, and existed in the ages, whose name is Holy, created three fathers, fire and spirit and water, progressing beyond them, seven heavens with their armies of angels; and twelve limits of the universe.”

Tetragrammaton is the most advanced form of sacred geometry, representing the crystal core of creation. When the flower of life forms a fractal of 64 tetrahedron grids through the ratio of the golden mean, the golden ratio, or Phi, it creates the shape known as Tetragrammaton. This represents a tetrahedron imposed upon an octahedron.

From this shape, one can isolate the Kaballah, Tree of Life, Seed of Life, and other significant figures that form the fundamental structure of our universe. There are 6 portals through this tetrahedron shape representing the 6 petals of the flower of life, and when combined, we find that they form 7 portals or nods of the energy field created by this fundamental form of sacred geometry. This is starting to illuminate the significance of the number of letters in this creation story. The seven double letters could represent the shape of the tetrahedron when it is formed into a 3 dimensional object, and many teachings on our planetary grid system show that it’s most advanced form is indeed a 3 dimensional representation of Tetragrammaton.

“These seven double letters point out the dimensions, East, West, height, depth, North, South, with the holy temple in the middle, sustaining all things… These seven are Planets of the Universe, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars; the seven days are the days of creation; and these an the seven gateways of a man, two eyes, two ears, two nostrils and a mouth, through which he perceives by his senses.”

Furthermore, this text seems to allude that the human being is indeed a creator of self and the world around him, so integrally so that every major river, sea, land, desert, and natural resource of Gaia is modeled after the 7 chakras, representing 7 actual energy centers on the Earth. Below is a depiction of the Earth’s chakra system.

Therefore, we can conclude that the Sepher Yetzirah is an actual, step by step creation of human DNA, and as the human being cannot be separate from the Source of its creation, Gaia, therefore the creation of a new magnetic, energetic reality upon Earth. The physical letters of any language are indeed the building blocks of life, representing a different energetic reality, timeline, and vibration. When combined together in the perfect combination, we create energetic patterns and paradigms. After dissecting and finding unity in the Sepher Yetzirah, it could not be more clear that the power of speech and consciousness is truly physical, real, and the power with which our very being was created. In Gregg Braden’s work, he cross referenced the periodic table of elements with the genome sequence creating our DNA. Our DNA is composed of hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen, each representing a letter in ancient Sanskrit, Arabic, Hebrew, and so forth. In replacing the elements of the DNA with ancient alphabets, Dr. Braden found that our DNA begins to read like a book.

“Our DNA can only be read by crossing the traditional boundaries of science and spirituality” — Dr. Gregg Braden

He found that the very first line, the very first strand of every piece of human DNA, after which all DNA is replicated, says the same thing: GOD ETERNAL WITHIN THE BODY. With this knowledge, we see that the Sepher Yetzirah is indeed a true, real chronicle, a book of divine wisdom meant to be passed down through the ages, that could not only contribute to the ascension and continued evolution of humanity, but also act as a reference point for our understanding of self. This very study has opened my eyes to the true power of ancient text, and I am starting to see in this modern, technology forward age that the power of books, the power of creation, and the power of consciousness has always been available for humanity to access, from a source of infinite intelligence, as we indeed are THE SOURCE.
