If the Sefiroth has 10 emanations of creation, how does that line up with God the Sevenfold and the seven superuniverses of creation in time and space? And how do the ten Sephiroth, which are linked to 22 Nativoth, line up anywhere in the UB. Where do you see the number 22 in the cosmology presented in the UB?

So wait . . . you’re comparing Atsilut to Havona? All right, it’s an extreme stretch since Atsilut is supposed to represent unity. But comparing Beriah with the seven superuniverses doesn’t make any sense at all. Beriah may be a creative world, but it is a realm of non-sequential meaning. Non-sequential means timelessness. The seven super universes exist within time-space where there is definite sequentiality. Then you compare Yesirah to a place called universe. What does that mean? What universe? There are hundreds of thousands of universes. Finally, you compare Assiah with systems. What systems? Assiah is supposed to represent the world of sequential reality and spacial meaning . . . like Urantia. Planets are not systems. A system in UB cosmology consists of one thousand inhabited planets.

But what about the number four? There are four cosmic levels of experiential reality or universe reality realizations. If the Otz Chiim describes the route by which God’s divine energy, or light, finds expression in the physical world, then wouldn’t that have something to do with the number five? The qualities of universal reality expressed and manifested in the physical world are: material, mind, spirit, soul and personality.
Brooklyn_born wrote: In Qabbala, the world cut off from the whole of creation is Asaiah (material plane) but more exact, the Sefira “Malkuth.” Interestingly, our system, Satania, was cut off from the main circuits and quarantined.
Malkuth has to do with consciousness of the sensations of the physical world. It’s banal, bestial, instinctive and reflexive. It is a level described as separated, yet the UB declares that only sin separates us from God. The physical world is not sin. That is a gnostic concept and Kabbalah is eerily similar to gnosticism in many ways. But none of this has anything whatsoever to do with spiritual quarantines.
Brooklyn_born wrote: Qabbala speaks of the dark sphere called Daat where sin or what is termed “qliphoth” came into creation. TUB speaks of the prison world of spiritual darkness and the introduction of sin among the celestials.
Da’ath is knowledge without understanding, learning without lamination. It is highly negative, it denies faith for its own sake and is a symbol of an unpurified mind. It is not a real place; it is a concept within the mind. The prison world is a real place. The Qliphoth is the dark side of reality, or the negative counterpart of the Otz Chiim. It is a purely dualistic concept (very gnostic) and is not found anywhere in the UB. The Qliphoth is the source of dark vices and evils in the world, the home of demons and monsters who cause corruption and disease. In fact, it is the “diseased” side of the Otz Chiim. Where in the UB do you see God having a dark and “diseased” side?

What’s a system world, a universe world, a super world, and a central universe world? None of that makes sense. If you want to break it down into “worlds”, what about the seven mansion worlds? That’s seven, not four. Actually, there’s a total of fifty-six Jerusem worlds that we have to visit. Actually, the number 56 shows up a lot. And, where do we go after the seven mansion worlds one might ask? We Go to Jerusem itself, then Edentia and all its satellites, then to Salvington and the surrounding educational worlds there, onto Uversa and its worlds, finally landing in Havona, which has many worlds that must be traversed. So how does that all add up to four?
