Tree of Return—The Restoration of the Divine Feminine

The Restoration of the Divine Feminine - Kabbalistic Insight and the Inner Alchemy of Divine Union

It is the Crown of the Earth as if to restore the Shekhinah in her full glory.

The last article on decoding Hebrew through sacred mathematics sparked new ideas that led me to write down further insights.

The standard gematria of Genesis 1.1, 2701, and its reciprocal 1/2701 led to the interpretation of a potential encoded Hebrew phrase, particularly from the repeating decimal of 24 digits 000370233246945575712699, but without the first three zeros:

370233246945575712699

Now, in Hebrew morphology, most root words (שורשים / 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, let’s 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) and combining all the Hebrew words that are potentially encoded in the decimal repetition 370233246945575712699:

370 – 233 – 246 – 945 – 575 – 712 – 699

It possibly translates to the Hebrew phrase:

שלם עץ החיים ליהאיר התפללת נצתה תשיב אצרות

1. Complete the Tree of Life so it may shine; your prayer has been kindled, and you will restore the treasures.

2. A perfect Tree of Life shall shine; your prayer is kindled like a flame, and thus you will reveal the hidden treasures.

3. Behold, the Tree of Life is made whole that it may give light; thy prayer hath been kindled, and thou shalt restore the treasures.

In the decimal digit sequence 370233246945575712699, the number 233 (the 13th number in the Fibonacci sequence: 1 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 8 - 13 - 21 - 34 - 55 - 89 - 144 - 233) is the Hebrew standard gematria of עֵץ (Etz, “Tree”) from Genesis 1.11.

וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים, תַּדְשֵׁא הָאָרֶץ דֶּשֶׁא עֵשֶׂב מַזְרִיעַ זֶרַע, עֵץ פְּרִי עֹשֶׂה פְּרִי לְמִינוֹ, אֲשֶׁר זַרְעוֹ-בוֹ עַל-הָאָרֶץ; וַיְהִי-כֵן

And Elohim said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

The number 13 is relevant in this context, as the Complete Tree of Life represents Unity and Love. Indeed, the Hebrew standard gematria value of the words ‘Ahava,’ “Love,” אהבה and ‘Echad,’ “One,” or “Unity,” אחד is 13. Read further insights on the significance of that number in my previous article, the Sacred Geometry of 13. So, the question arises, has the complete Tree of Life 13 Sephirot?

The Tree of Life diagrams exist in various forms. In those derived from the teaching of Rabbi Isaac Luria (the Ari), Daat (Knowledge) is not a Sephira, because Daat is the ‘outside’ of Keter and the ‘inside’ of Tiferet. In other words, Daat is the interconnection between the three Sefirot (Keter (כתר) – Crown, Chokhmah (חכמה) – Wisdom, Binah (בינה) – Understanding) of the mind and the seven Sefirot of the body (Chesed (חסד) – Loving-kindness, Gevurah (גבורה) – Strength / Discipline, Tiferet (תפארת) – Beauty / Compassion, Netzach (נצח) – Endurance / Victory, Hod (הוד) – Splendor / Humility, Yesod (יסוד) – Foundation / Connection, Malkhut (מלכות) – Kingdom / Manifestation).

In those Lurianic Tree of Life Diagrams, Malchut is fallen and alone. The Tree of Life has 13 Sefirot. The additional 3 Sefirot are the Daat (between Keter and Tiferet in the middle column), and two unnamed Sefirot slightly above and to both sides of Malchut. This is because when the connection between our mind and body (represented by Daat) is complete, Malchut (associated with Earth) will no longer be fallen and alone. She will be raised, expanded to the right and the left, and become fully integrated and united with all the other Sefirot.

This is hinted at in the following verse from Zachariah (14:9):

וְהָיָה יְהוָה לְמֶלֶךְ, עַל-כָּל-הָאָרֶץ; בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יִהְיֶה יְהוָה אֶחָד--וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָד

And Yahweh shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Yahweh and his name one.

The Hebrew word for “One,” אחד, has a gematria value of 13, so the 2 “Ones,” in the above verse, add up to 26 - the standard gematria value of the name YHVH (יְהוָה).

Now, the following is a meaningful description of what Yahweh (YHVH – יְהוָה) represents as a unified, integrated being within every man and woman—excerpted from the book The Quantum Blueprint: Unravelling the Divine Code." I don’t particularly see Yahweh only outside of ourselves, but as a divine blueprint within, expressed as the alchemical marriage between the masculine and feminine principles.

The Great Image is the unification between the feminine and the masculine principle, encompassing the four aspects within every man and woman: Yod (Father י), Heh (Mother ה), Vav (Son ו), and Heh (Daughter ה), which is Yahweh's signature ("Lord," YHVH, יהוה).

In the Tree of Life, Kabbalah (קבלה), the first letter of the Tetragrammaton YHVH, Yod (י), is attributed to the sphere of Chokmah ("Wisdom," חכמה, Father). The second letter, Heh (ה), belongs to Binah ("Understanding," בינה, Mother). The third letter, Vav (ו), belongs to the realm Zeir Anpin ("Lesser Countenance," זעיר אנפין), comprising the six emotional sephiroth attributes: Chesed ("Kindness," חסד), Gevurah ("Might," גבורה), Tiphereth ("Beauty," תפארת), Netzach ("Eminence," נצח), Hod ("Majesty," הוד) and Yesod ("Foundation," יסוד). The last letter, Heh (ה), appears in the sphere of Malkuth ("Kingdom," מלכות), representing Daughter.

In the Torah, the first letter of the word Bereisheit ("In the beginning," בראשית) is the Hebrew letter Beth (ב), the point of creation in the beginning, which is symbolized by the "Mouth" with a dot in the center, a sound/frequency out of the "Mouth" (בּ). The Hebrew letter Beth (ב) has a numerical value of 2, the feminine principle.

In the Kabbalah (קבלה), there are two feminine aspects: the Mother in the sphere of Binah ("Understanding," בינה) and the Daughter in the sphere of Malkuth ("Kingdom," מלכות). These two aspects represent the Shekinah ("Divine Presence," שכינה) eternally present in all spheres and often discussed at the feminine side of God (Goddess).

The Kabbalah teaches us that the first step in revealing the Great Image of Elohim, Yahweh, is to unite the feminine and masculine aspects of the lower levels: the daughter, the bride, with the son as the groom. The son represents the six emotional spheres, attributed to the Hebrew letter Vav (ו) of numerical value 6.

As the seventh (the bride) is independent of them, the 7th and the group of six represent the bride and groom, respectively. The broom (son) calls to rectify the six spheres of emotions by joining the two feminine aspects: the mother and the daughter. Thus, with understanding, the son becomes the groom in this alchemical process, and the daughter becomes the bridge with the mother's help. The son and daughter are unified, and the son joins the two "females." The groom and bride's marriage equals 42, as the product is six by seven. The marriage is celebrated with a quality of "Emotional Understanding" gained. This level of "Understanding" leads to the next level, the Sephirah Chokmah ("Wisdom," חכמה, the Father). The connection between the number 42 and the number 378 is significant, as 378 is the gematria value of Chashmal ("Electrum," חשמל). This term represents one of the three aspects of Shalhevet (Spiritual "Flame," שלהבת), which embodies the invisible and innermost aspect of total inner silence. Analog to the "speaking Word of Their Name," as Echad Usho Echad ("One and Their Name are One," אחד־ושמו־אחד (Zecharia 14:9)). So there is a clear relationship between the marriage of the bridge (daughter) and groom (son) of the lower spheres with the opening and access to the higher spheres. Those higher levels reveal the 42-letter name of God or Goddess. Chibur ("joining," "connection from heaven to earth," חבור) then establishes itself. The standard, ordinal, and reduced gematria values of Chibur (חבור) in its absolute state are, respectively, 216, 36, and 18, the same values as the Sephirah of Gevurah (גבורה), referring on some levels to the number 737, standard gematria value of Shalhevet (Spiritual "Flame," שלהבת) and the value of PI (π) as an Important Key, a bridge between heaven and earth.

Among the digits of the reciprocal of 2701, the number 712 refers to a return of the complete Tree of Life, where hidden treasures are to be revealed (370233246945575712699).

The Hebrew word Musarot (מוסרות), the plural form of Moserah (מוסרה), which comes from the root Asar ("to bind" or "to tie," אסר), can mean "correction" or "bonds." The standard gematria of Musarot (מוסרות) 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 (π), the Key to bridging heaven and earth. This refers to our inner alchemical work. The number 712 can also refer to Tashiv (תשיב), "You will return" or "you will restore," thus speaking of returning to the Source.

The word Musarot (מוסרות) (bonds/corrections) resonates strongly in Tikkun (תיקון), the Lurianic theme of fixing the damaged vessels (especially Malkhut – מלכות), the feminine sefirah which fell and became “alone”. The “fallen” Malkhut is uplifted and expanded, maybe to indicate a worldly manifestation of the divine feminine. The other two spheres are a completion, a healing of separation. These are sephirot, which are in between Malkhut (physical world) and Yesod (Foundation). In a Lurianic perspective, they may represent two aspects of Malkhut brought up in the process of Tikun (Rectification), extensions of the Shekhinah as she proceeds to unification with the six sefirot that constitute the groom, Zeir Anpin ("Lesser Countenance", זעיר אנפין).

The Tree of Life Etz Chaim (עץ חיים) has three columns – Right, Left and Centre representing the basic forces of divine flow and balance. The Right Column is expansion, mercy and the masculine to give (e.g. Chokhmah, Chesed, Netzach). The Left Column is contraction, judgment and the feminine to contain and define (e.g. Binah, Gevurah, Hod). The Centre Column combines balance, compassion and integrative consciousness (e.g. Keter, Tiferet, Yesod, Malkhut). This triad is key to anyone who wants to understand how the divine energies flow, interact and balance in the world and the human soul. This is the symmetry of the return path Tashiv (תשיב), from Malkhut to Binah, an alchemical ascent of the feminine.

In the extended Tree of Life with two feminine Sefirot between Yesod and Malkhut, we can name them Shekhinah Mit’oreret (שכינה מתעוררת Awakening Shekhinah) on the right hand and Shekhinah Nistarah (שכינה נסתרת Shadowed or Hidden Shekhinah) on the left hand. Shekhinah Mit’oreret on the right side (traditionally connected with action and expansion) is the outward ascent of the Divine Feminine – the Shekhinah awakening from exile and stirring to be reunited with the upper worlds. She says Faith (אמונה Emunah) rouses the Divine Presence from sleep or obscurity. She calls her out of exile or sleep. She is that inspired part of the feminine that rises, transforms and connects with Source. And Shekhinah Nistarah, on the left, the side of receptivity and containment, is the hidden part of the Divine Feminine. She holds the memory of wholeness in hiddenness, is the latent potential and the inner vessel that carries the imprint of divine wisdom. Though not yet manifest, her presence is deep and felt. Together with Shekhinah Mit’oreret, they express two phases of feminine spiritual movement: one reaching up in awakening and the other anchoring the mystery of return in the depths of form.

Tree of Return: Reunification of the Divine Feminine

At the base of the Tree, Shekhinah Mit’oreret (שכינה מתעוררת Awakening Shekhinah) and Shekhinah Nistarah (שכינה נסתרת Shadowed or Hidden Shekhinah) form a pair just like the Sephirot Netzach and Hod. It is the Crown of the Earth as if to restore the Shekhinah in her full glory. The whole structure is divided into three parts that all fit together well. Divine Mind is found in the upper triad (Keter–Chokhmah–Binah), the Heart and our inner connection are in the middle triad (Daat–Tiferet–Yesod), and the bottom triad is about manifestation on Earth (Malkhut + Hidden Shekhinah + Awakening Shekhinah).

This is where Heaven meets Earth, not just a concept, but a lived experience echoed in the wisdom of Kabbalah. It’s where the sacred feminine isn’t just spoken of. It rises through everyday life, through connection, presence, and love. The Tree isn’t just a symbol. It’s alive. It calls us to take part in healing and restoring the world, and it begins within us. And it all starts with faith—a quiet, steady trust that this sacred wholeness isn’t far away. It’s here, now, waiting to be felt and lived. Faith in the Source awakens the soul to its way back to its original divine blueprint.

This is the deepest spiritual initiation humanity is moving through right now, shaping our growth and awakening us to something greater.
