zain
(the
lovers)
The path of Zain
links the primordial womb of Binah with the state of personal
incarnation in Tiphareth. This path teaches the experience of
any pair of twins, that we are all one and individual souls at
the same time.
Zain means 'sword':
"The Flaming Angel guards the entry into the Garden of Eden
with a sword, the sword of Spirit" (Genesis 3:24). The sword
sacrifices the individuality of the soul at the gate of Eden,
or through Abyss before the Supernal Triangle. In the opposite
direction, Spirit divides itself by the sword in order to manifest.
Manifestation is dual, essence is singular.
The message of Zain
is, that if we look deep within, we are all the same. Therefore
we cannot but meet ourselves through others. However, the components
that we essentially have in common may still be hidden in our
subconscious.
Therefore, the sword
of Zain simultaniously catalyzes the cooperation among us and
between the conscious and subconscious domain. In the tarot card
'The Lovers', this duality is symbolized by the marriage between
a man (sun/conscious) and a woman (moon/unconscious), supported
by the heavenly twins.
