The Soul ofthe Kabbalah 125
Shekinah hovers overhead between husband and wife.120The Shekinah
is also the Union of Metatron (the male) and Sandalphon through the
central pillar of the Tree of Life. Some Kabbalistic authors, such as Waite,
have ascribed the Middle Pillar to the Shekinah, but this I feel is an error.
The Middle Pillar is a sheath that allows the energies of the Shekinah to
unite so Elohim is formed. l21 A good analogy here is with Kundalini
Yoga. The spine for the Shekinah is aligned with Shatki, the energy that
resides in the base of the spine, and closely allied with Malkuth. This
energy then works its way up the spine through two channels, Ida and
Pingala, releasing her energy at various stops or chakras and striving for
the union in the godhead. III
The Talmud informs us that man and his Shekinah were separated
when Adam left Eden "enthroned above a cherub under the Tree of Life,
her splendour being 65,000 times greater than the sun." The Shekinah
then followed Adam and will continue to do so until he has achieved his
rightful place back in the Garden of Eden.

121 I mustagreewith Shuster in his book Crowley's Apprentice, page 121, where he gives a description
of the dual polarity in the Middle Pillar. a point Francis King feels is nor valid in his TantraFar
