Souls whose spirits are deflated, impoverished, exhausted, broken, depressed or, simply, tired are welcomed within the Realm of Names if they call upon The Name of HaShem: not with their vocal cords, but with their spirits. In these states, souls make no estimations of who they are and what life requires of them. They are preoccupied with surviving from moment to moment; for they despair of finding relief.

Perishing from lack of vision and constantly sifting through nuggets of their thoughts in forlorn hope of finding some new mindset that may make each successive moment more bearable, they find no wisdom: no traces of spiritual gold. A silver lining of understanding eludes them, also; so they pan, listlessly, through the same cloudy streams of thought over and over, willing to settle for diversion.

Bogged down by piles of mud and muck, they lament the inadequacy of their endeavors; and they have trouble tolerating their own laments, because every tiresome sigh lowers expectations still further. Imprisoned by thoughts and emotions, they endure as best they can for so long as they can. They are spiritual paupers. Except the Father should lift them up, they expect a rupture of the headwaters, as in the days of Noah.

Adam Kadmon, the "Projection of Man," is the symbol of the Tree of Life. Kether is the topmost of its ten spheres, its sephirot. Often referred to as "The Supreme Crown," Kether can be understood as the sphere of intelligence, but natural intelligence cannot approach Kether; for the crown of the unredeemed human mind is simply the tool by which man has achieved dominion over all other species on Earth, to his own harm and shame; and man's intelligence continues to be leveraged as the means to subject less endowed creatures to the rule of his will, at the peril of all who live.

Words are birds; and birds, taking flight, are arrows to the wise. Spiritual Kether is like the canopy of the Tree of Life, and its branches are home to the Word of HaShem, his silent counsel. When rightly applied, intelligence is the faculty by which man can measure the movements of God's Spirit within the frame of his own consciousness. As man's branching thoughts are stirred, the Life Breath energizes the cells of the human body and supplies the spiritual oxygen needed to restore divine fire for the restoration of all things.

The spark of divinity breathed into Adam in the Garden is never completely extinguished within the least of men, but only those whose hearts have been rekindled are able to lift their voices in righteous supplication. With no expectation of further reward, they seek the faces of HaShem, that they can understand the saying that God is good. Scales fall from the eyes of such souls as the royal scepter is raised in welcome. Reassured, they begin to see again.

The vision grows, clarifies, and shall become operative, but not by anything the individual can do to further progress. Every gate is opened by an act of God, who allows souls to enter when instruction has born fruit. This truth was demonstrated in the ministry of Y'shua, who asked that the woman at the well go and return, again, with her husband. The woman was no libertine, as is commonly taught. She was a spiritual adept, and she was on the sixth rung of Jacob's ladder.
