Absu to slay <strong>the</strong> new gods <strong>an</strong>d later as <strong>the</strong> Wrath <strong>of</strong> Hubur (Tiamat's <strong>an</strong>ti-cosmic aspect) whichgives birth to <strong>the</strong> Eleven Champions <strong>of</strong> Chaos (0=2=11).The Sitra Ahra, if understood from a similar perspective, was not <strong>the</strong> leftovers or shells <strong>of</strong> failedcosmic worlds impr<strong>is</strong>oning <strong>the</strong> divine sparks. According to Gnos<strong>is</strong>, <strong>the</strong> <strong>an</strong>ti<strong>the</strong>tical 'O<strong>the</strong>r Side' <strong>is</strong> asold as <strong>the</strong> Sephirotic world <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tree <strong>of</strong> Life, <strong>an</strong>d its origins are just as divine. The difference <strong>is</strong>that <strong>the</strong> two sides represent different impulses <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Divine - one being <strong>the</strong> Coagula <strong>an</strong>d restriction,<strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r being <strong>the</strong> Solve <strong>an</strong>d liberation.In o<strong>the</strong>r words, <strong>the</strong> spheres <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> kliffot m<strong>an</strong>ifested almost simult<strong>an</strong>eously with <strong>the</strong> sephirot,forming <strong>the</strong>ir adversarial (i.e. 'Sat<strong>an</strong>ic') reflection in <strong>the</strong> Outer Darkness, beyond <strong>an</strong>d outside <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>confines <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tree <strong>of</strong> Life.We also believe in a form <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 'shattering <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> vessels' that <strong>is</strong> somewhat similar to <strong>the</strong> ideaspresented within <strong>the</strong> Luri<strong>an</strong>ic Kabbala, but our underst<strong>an</strong>ding regarding <strong>the</strong> cause <strong>an</strong>d effect <strong>of</strong> that'Cosmic Catastrophe' differs from <strong>the</strong>irs.Contrary to <strong>the</strong>ir belief that <strong>the</strong> sparks which spilled out from <strong>the</strong> broken vessels <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sephirot felldown into <strong>the</strong> 'dark world <strong>of</strong> kliffot' <strong>an</strong>d are now in need <strong>of</strong> being lifted back up into <strong>the</strong> supernalsephirot in order to be redeemed, our conviction <strong>is</strong> that <strong>the</strong> actual redemption <strong>of</strong> those sparks wasachieved by <strong>the</strong>ir tr<strong>an</strong>scendence into <strong>the</strong> Sitra Ahra.The shattering <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> vessels was caused by <strong>the</strong> At-Azoth process which increased <strong>the</strong> power <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>divine sparks <strong>an</strong>d caused <strong>the</strong> cosmic vessels to overflow <strong>an</strong>d crack, thus liberating <strong>the</strong> impr<strong>is</strong>onedAzoth from <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>is</strong>on <strong>of</strong> causal clay. The breaking <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> vessels was orchestrated <strong>an</strong>d caused by<strong>the</strong> forces <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Light</strong>, <strong>an</strong>d are interlinked with <strong>the</strong> Great Gift <strong>of</strong> Lucifer <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong> bringingdown <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fruits <strong>of</strong> Daath/Gnos<strong>is</strong> to <strong>the</strong> slumbering M<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d Wom<strong>an</strong>.It was also th<strong>is</strong> cosmic catastrophe which opened up <strong>the</strong> black holes <strong>an</strong>d gates to <strong>the</strong> Sitra Ahrawithin <strong>the</strong> formerly fully closed circle <strong>of</strong> cosmos.The 'Cosmic Catastrophe' <strong>is</strong> thus <strong>an</strong> ongoing process that in its final phase will lead to <strong>the</strong> return <strong>of</strong>all back into <strong>the</strong> Unm<strong>an</strong>ifested <strong>an</strong>d Unbound Mystery, thus fully effacing <strong>the</strong> stifling causalityestabl<strong>is</strong>hed by <strong>the</strong> demiurgic act <strong>of</strong> Tzimtzum.<strong>TOTBL</strong> – 21819
