Sephirot, Sephiroth, or Sefiroth , singular: Sephirah, also Sephirah "enumeration" in Hebrew).
Sephiroth (or "enumerations"), in the Kabbalah of Judaism, are the ten attributes that God (who is referred to as Aur Ain Soph, "limitless light") created through which he can project himself to the universe and man. These emanations manifest not only in the physical part of the universe, but also in the metaphysical one. Kabbalah distinguishes between four different "worlds" or "planes":
Atziluth , or "World of Emanations", on this level the light of the Ain Sof radiates and is still united with its source.
Beri'ah or "World of Creation", on this level the first concept of creation ex nihilo however without any shape or form. This is also where the Highest Ranking Angels are to be found.
Yetzirah or "World of Formation" on this level the created being assumes shape and form.
Asiyah'or "World of Actions", on this level the creation is complete, however it is still in a spiritual level. At a later stage there is the 'physical Asiyah' comprising our physical world with all its creatures.
Each of these worlds are progressively grosser and further removed from any revealed Godliness, however the ten Sephiroth manifest in all of them.
there are 11 virues of go crown, wisdom, Intelligence, Love or Mercy, Power or Judgement, Compassion, Lasting Endurance, Majesty, Basis or Foundation, Kingdom. then there is the one left out and that is death. death is never added cuz its the abyss of god/ absence.
Tree of life.
