The Second Path is named The Radiant Consciousness. (Sekhel Maz'hir) This is the crown of creation and the radience of the homogeneous unity that "exalts itself above all as the Head." The masters of Kabbalah call it the Second Glory
Description
As the Sephirah of the number Two, Chokmah is the principle of duality. It draws the distinction between "this" and "that", and it is symbolized by the geometric line, possessing length and position as properties. It is also considered to represent that which goes forth, the root of all Force, as this is the impulse which first gave rise to the need to draw a distinction within the Cosmic fullness that preceded the manifest cosmos.
Within a human being, Chokmah is the vital principle, and is the root of the urge to procreate as well as the basis of life within the body/mind/spirit. There are, as yet, no imbalances to be found within this Sephirah, though it may be invoked in order to support the health of the patient.
