    My view is that the Qabalah, by which I presume you mean the Sefer
    Yetzirah or Book of Formation, with its Tree of Life or Etz Chaim, is
    astrological, NOT magical, in nature. It is to be interpreted as a
    soul's evolution through spirit sojourns, in various dimensions of
    consciousness (and in Earth in flesh in 3-dimensional consciousness), in
    the various planets of the solar system (or other solar systems having
    an inhabitable planet like Earth), the spirit activities on which give
    rise to astrological influences. The Tree of Life, in my opinion, shows
    that soul evolution is from the bottom of it upwards; the most central
    sefirah represents the Sun, the lowest Earth AND Moon, the next lowest
    Mercury, the uppermost Pluto, and the next uppermost Uranus and Neptune.
    Above it, "Ain Sof Aur" or "Limitless Light" represents There is nothing
    magical about it at all, except possibly for the paths which together
    represent Moon-Pluto astrological aspects, which I find to be the most
    important in magical or psychokinetic powers.

    The hexagon formed by the sefiroth representing the Sun, Jupiter,
    Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, indicates what is the minimum
    requirement for the horoscope of a soul not requiring any further
    sojourns/incarnations in this solar system, namely Sun either sextile,
    trine, opposite, or conjunct all of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune,
    and Pluto, preferably with Moon also similarly involved, the current
    incarnation being only voluntary. The Dalai Lama's horoscope (6 a.m., 6
    July 1935, eastern Tibet) has such a configuration.
