The I AM Presence and Keter

This touches on the Kabbalah, which is a veritable study in its own right. If you can catch one of the lessons that Carol Ann does on the Kabbalah every month, you’ll be in for a treat. So, this does not go into things too in depth, just more of a surface covering mainly the I AM Presence and Keter. Keter as you may or may not know is the first emanation of Ein Sof and in that respect is intimately connected with the I AM Presence for it is the emanation of Brahman or Ein Sof as well.

These two are almost synonymous but not quite. While Keter is the top sephiroth and through whom all creation came, the I AM Presence is the God of very Gods who manifested all creation. It is more in the wording that there is a difference. Keter is called the crown akin to the crown chakra since each of the Sephiroth are represented by chakras. Keter is also the Light manifested in creation and through whom all creation happened.

“The Self begins with that which is the permanent atom of being and the cause out of which the effect proceeds. We call this cause the I AM THAT I AM, the Presence of the I AM, or the I AM Presence. I find that God by any name can be reduced to this sense of the eternal Presence. It defines being, and I see it as a sphere of intense light that marks the point of my origin. It is the permanent part of me, of which I am very aware, and the point to which I will return at the conclusion of this life. ” quote from Elizabeth Clare Prophet.

In this case the First Cause is the I AM THAT I AM which is surrounded by the Causal Body and each of the rings of the causal body as well as the white fire core relate to the chakras. Five secret rays are at right angles in the white fire core.

So, it appears that the I AM Presence and Keter are almost intermingled in their beingness. For it appears that they both are at the beginning of manifestation when both Ein Sof and Brahman decided to create. Brahman is the All behind manifestation as is Ein Sof. The Christian religion does not have a counterpart to Ein Sof and Brahman. It’s more involved with the second aspect of creation, the preserver as also is Vishnu from Hinduism.

The book, the Secret Doctrine has the stanzas of Dzyan – (almost like the Dhyanni Buddhas), which go into what was happening before creation came into being. This came forth in the Theosophical movement and no one that I know of has linked all these together. They appear to be intertwined and it is almost like an interweaving of the various facets of what has been left to us.

If we had access to the akashic records, there might be more information. At this moment I will have to leave it.
