The Abyss
Description

The gap between the Supernal Triangle (Kether-Chokmah-Binah) and the rest of the Tree. Represents the gulf between divine unity and manifest creation.

Crossing
The ordeal of crossing the Abyss—dissolution of ego required to touch the Supernals
Danger
Choronzon dwells here—the demon of dispersion, dissolution without reintegration

Choronzon
Experience Description

Da'at is not a place but a crossing. It represents knowledge—the union of Chokmah and Binah—but cannot be 'reached' without dying to the ego. Most who think they've crossed have merely glimpsed. True crossing is irrevocable.

Practical Work
Meditation
Contemplate what remains when the self is removed
Invocation

Do not invoke—traverse

Warning

The Abyss is not a goal but an ordeal. Many are lost here. Do not rush.

Resonance
Adepts ready for complete ego dissolution
