The Tree of Light: Decoding 137 and the Quantum Kabbalah
How Genesis, Hebrew Gematria, and Physics Reveal the Hidden Architecture of Reality
Following up on this previous article:
A bridge between sacred text and fundamental physics
An interesting finding between the fine structure constant and the Hebrew standard gematria of the first verse of Genesis 1.1, 2701.
The 37th word of Genesis in Hebrew is ืืืืจ (haโor), which means "the light."
It appears in Genesis 1:4, which in Hebrew reads:
ืึทืึทึผืจึฐื ืึฑืึนืึดืื ืึถืช ืึธืืึนืจ ืึดึผื ืืึนื ืึทืึทึผืึฐืึตึผื ืึฑืึนืึดืื ืึตึผืื ืึธืืึนืจ ืึผืึตืื ืึทืึนืฉึถืืึฐ
And Elohim saw the light, that [it was] good: and Elohim divided the light from the darkness.
What about the 137th Hebrew word of Genesis?
The 137th word (HaAretz, ืึธืึธึืจึถืฅ, โthe earthโ) falls in Genesis 1:12, which reads:
ืึทืชึผืึนืฆึตื ืึธืึธืจึถืฅ ืึถึผืฉึถืื ืขึตืฉึถืื ืึทืึฐืจึดืืขึท ืึถืจึทืข, ืึฐืึดืื ึตืืึผ, ืึฐืขึตืฅ ืขึนืฉึถืื-ืคึฐึผืจึดื ืึฒืฉึถืืจ ืึทืจึฐืขืึน-ืืึน, ืึฐืึดืื ึตืืึผ; ืึทืึทึผืจึฐื ืึฑืึนืึดืื, ืึดึผื-ืืึนื
And the earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed [was] in itself, after his kind: and Elohim saw that [it was] good.
The fine structure constant is defined as the inverse ratio of 137.037, and it links two important relevant words in Genesis:
037 โ ืึธืืึนืจ (haโor, โthe lightโ) โ the 37th Hebrew word.
137 โ ืึธืึธึืจึถืฅ (HaAretz, โthe earthโ), the 137th Hebrew word.
The number 233, the standard gematria of ืขึตืฅ ืึทืึทืึดึผืื (Etz HaChayim, โTree of Lifeโ), appears within the 24-digit repeating decimal of 1/2701 (370233246945575712699), and 2701 is the triangular number of 73, itself linked to ืืืื (Chokmah, โWisdomโ). 137.037 encodes a symbolic fusion of ืึธืึธืจึถืฅ (Haโaretz, โthe earthโ) and ืึธืืึนืจ (Haโor, โthe lightโ), with the structure of ืขึตืฅ (Etz, โTreeโ) acting as the conduit between the two, the Tree of Light. This evokes the image of Earth not just as matter, but as a Vessel of Light. So, 137.037 is literally โThe earth the lightโ (ืืืจืฅ ืืืืจ). The fusion (ืืืจืฅ ืืืืจ) evokes powerful symbolism โearth as a vessel of light,โ or โThe light of the earth,โ which we couldnโt highlight in the current best measurement, 137.035999177(21), yet beautifully crystallised in the rounded form 137.037. These numerical echoes trace a path between Torah, quantum physics, and the encoded structure of creation.
In Kabbalah, the Tree of Life (ืขืฅ ืืืืื) is a diagram of divine emanations through which the Infinite reveals itself. The fine-structure constant (โ1/137) governs how light interacts with matter, essentially how energy gives rise to form, or how light branches into reality, just like a tree.
The Hebrew root of the Kabbalah is Kuf-Beit-Lamed, ืงืื, which is translated as โCapacitor, Condenser.โ Every sub-particle of matter, human being, planet, galaxy, and anything would act as a capacitor or condenser, storing energy from the infiniteness and limitless source of light (Ein Sof Aur).
The creative energy flow is conducted through a Divine Map, the Tree of Life, known as the Kabbalah. It has ten Sephiroth, each representing a jewel of wisdom, and three other mysterious and unknown Sephiroth above Kether ืืชืจ, which means โcrown,โ at the top, on the head of the Tree of Life. These three are described as follows:
The first one is called ืืื Ain in Hebrew, meaning โnothingnessโ. Undifferentiated consciousness in its purest original state, โI-lessโ or โego-less.โ
The second one, below Ain, is called Ain Soph, ืกืืฃ ืืื, โthe limitless.โ Differentiated Consciousness with โI,โ Self-Realisation, the Monad (Point) before Emanation.
The third aspect of the Absolute is called Ain Soph Aur, ืกืืฃ ืืื ืืืจ, โthe limitless light.โ Emanating Consciousness. The fabric of consciousness as it exists during the perpetual and eternal unfolding of physical manifestation, the first emanation of the unknown, called ฮงฯฮฏฯฯฮฟฯ โChristosโ โChrist.โ
On the usual diagram of the Kabbalah, there are ten Sephiroth, but we donโt see the three others above Kether, as they are unknown. However, they are just as important as the others, considering that the Kabbalah is completed through the Seal of Unity (13 Sephiroth in total).

The Blueprint of Creation
The Tree of Life is a source of fascinating topics, including the Cosmic Egg we have previously studied in depth in three different parts:
The Tree of Life metaphorically parallels the mechanics of quantum observation. In quantum physics, a particle exists in multiple states, or a superposition, until it is observed; at that point, the wavefunction collapses into one measurable outcome. This mirrors the Kabbalistic idea of divine light flowing through the structured Tree of Life, where infinite potential is channelled into finite reality. The fine-structure constant, 137.037, defines how light interacts with matter, marking the moment energy becomes a measurable form. It is, in essence, the universal ratio that marks the transition from possibility to perception, from chaos to order, akin to branches taking shape on a cosmic tree.
Now, in Hebrew morphology, most root words (ืฉืืจืฉืื / shoreshim) are 3-letter triliterals, each carrying a core meaning that is expanded by vowels, prefixes, and suffixes. There is also a rich intersection of number theory, gematria, and Hebrew linguistics. Indeed, letโs explore the possibility of numeric triplets as encoded roots, just like Hebrew triliteral roots.
Looking at the repeating decimal as triplets (sets of 3 digits):
370 โ 233 โ 246 โ 945 โ 575 โ 712 โ 699
The first number, 370, can be interpreted as the light ืืืืจ (haโor) 37 multiplied by 10 (the ten divine emanations or attributes through which the Divine interacts with the universe). There are other possible layers. The ordinal gematria value of ืืืื (Chokmah) in Hebrew is also 37. The number 370 can also be linked to ืฉืื (Shalam), Complete.
The second number, 233, is ืขืฅ ืืืืื (Etz HaChayim), the Tree of Life.
The third number, 246, matches appropriately with ืืืืืจ (Leha'ir), โto illuminateโ from Genesis 1:15.
The fourth number, 945, can refer to ืืชืคืืืช (Hitpalalta), "You prayed.โ
The fifth number, 545, can refer to ื ืฆืชื (Natzta), โYou have kindled (as in sparking a light or illumination).โ
The sixth number, 712, is well discussed in my book The Quantum Blueprint, particularly in a Kabbalistic context. The Hebrew word Musarot (ืืืกืจืืช), the plural form of Moserah (ืืืกืจื), which comes from the root Asar ("to bind" or "to tie," ืืกืจ), can mean "correction" or "bonds." The standard gematria of Musarot (ืืืกืจืืช) is 712. The number 712 has two interesting meanings in this context. The groom corrects the emotions of the lower levels, hence "correction," and connects the two females, thereby "bonding" the mother with the daughter. There is a more profound truth about the essence and function of the two feminine aspects within the Tree of Life, and their union leads to the value of PI (ฯ), the Key to bridging heaven and earth. This refers to our inner alchemical work. The number 712 can also refer to Tashiv (ืชืฉืื), "You will return" or "you will restore," thus speaking of returning to the Source.
The last number, 699, close to 700, corresponds to ืช (Tav, the final letter) in sofit gematria. It could be a sign of completion, a seal, a cosmic return. In the chapter The Sign of the Covenant of the book โThe Quantum Blueprint.โ The number 700 is thoroughly studied. The aggregate of the three primary colours (Red, 284; Yellow, 228; Blue, 188) is 700, which is also the sum of the gematria values of Bereisheit ("In the beginning," ืืจืืฉืืช), Elohim (ืืืืื), Hashmim the heavens (ืืฉืืื) and Hartz ("the earth," ืืืจืฅ), using the Biblical Gematria Cipher from Genesis 1.1. These Hebrew words are in the first, third, fifth, and seventh positions in the first verse (odd numbers).
700 is also the sum of the gematria values of Haalma ("The virgin," ืืขืืื), Hara ("Child," ืืจื), Ben ("Son," ืื), and Immanuel (ืขืื ืืื) from Isaiah 7:14, using the Reversal Cipher.
So, combining all the Hebrew words that are potentially encoded in the decimal repetition 370233246945575712699:
370 โ 233 โ 246 โ 945 โ 575 โ 712 โ 699
It possibly translates to the Hebrew phrase:
ืฉืื ืขืฅ ืืืืื ืืืืืืจ ืืชืคืืืช ื ืฆืชื ืชืฉืื ืืฆืจืืช
Complete the Tree of Life so it may shine; your prayer has been kindled, and you will restore the treasures.
A perfect Tree of Life shall shine; your prayer is kindled like a flame, and thus you will reveal the hidden treasures.
Behold, the Tree of Life is made whole that it may give light; thy prayer hath been kindled, and thou shalt restore the treasures.
What do you think about this interpretation through gematria? Do you have any insight into other possible interpretations? I would like to hear from you.
