Chochmah, Pure Mind, the Oneness, of everything, is separated and differentiated into details in Binah so that it is comprehensible. It is the level on which ideas exist separately and can be examined11. Binah is the source of individual souls and all individualization and differentiation. It is the building of abstraction into a more concrete idea.

ReplyDeleteAjna Chakra (The Third Eye); Binah-Hokhmah
Ajna is the chakra of higher intellect. “Ajna is the witnessing centre where one becomes the detached observer of all events, including those within the body and mind. Here the level of awareness is developed whereby one begins to ‘see’ the hidden essence underlying all visible appearances. When Ajna is awakened, the meaning and significance of symbols flashes into one’s conscious perception and intuitive knowledge arises effortlessly.”
“Up until Ajna chakra awakens, we are under delusions. It is only after awakening of Ajna chakra that the laws of cause and effect can be known. Thereafter your whole philosophical attitude and approach to life changes.” As said, it is very important to develop the qualities of Binah and Hokhmah already at the very beginning of one’s spiritual journey. “Only those who have reason and understanding are able to cope.”
It would seem that the awakening of the Ajna chakra follows the sequence of the Lightning Flash, activating first the Binah and then the Hokhmah aspect of this level. It is said that from Ajna there is only a short way to Sahasrara or enlightenment; from Hokhmah we would see how to get there.
Imparts the energies we need to comprehend ourselves, our identity, and our mission in life.
