The Sixth Path is named The Transcendental Influx Consciousness (Sekhel Shefa Nivdal). It is called this because through it the influx of Emanation (Atzilut) increases itself. It bestows this influx on all blessings, which unify themselves in its essence.
Description
Tiphareth, whose name means "beauty", marks the center-point of the Tree, and as such, is the principle of harmonious balance. It is symbolized by the cube, the six-sided solid which, when doubled, represents Malkuth and is the form taken by an altar of the Western mysteries. This is the place where, in the Western tradition, the seeker enters into a continuous relationship with that entity code-named the Holy Guardian Angel. This label is chosen in order to show that this experience transcends logic and reason and cannot be explained in terms of any metaphysical system. It is the revelation of interior grace, and marks the point where the seeker begins to comprehend her role as an incarnate human.
In the human being, Tiphareth is where the heart and circulatory system, as well as the central nervous system, may be influenced. However, any bodily system that has fallen out of balance and which serves as a distribution center may be represented here.
