    Dear Dasha,

    >> Daath (Knowledge)seems to be the most controversial Sephiroth of all.
    It means all sorts of curious things to different Kabbalists and most of
    them only dip their toes in the pond anyways. There is this strange
    atmosphere of "the forbidden 13th room that must never be entered"
    surrounding it. I've been researching Rawn's materials on this subject
    to get some more clarity, yet wasn't able to find any reference so far.
    Could you please throw some light on this Sephiroth? I would appreciate
    if you could address the matter from both theoretical and practical
    point of views. <<

    The reason you didn't find any mention of Da'ath on my website is
    because it doesn't exist, at least not in the way the 10 Sephirot do.
    As it says in the Sepher Yetzirah 1:4, "Ten Sephirot made of
    nothingness: ten and not nine; ten and not eleven. Understand with
    Wisdom and be wise with Understanding." etc.

    In short, Da'ath is not a *universal* factor such as a Sephirot.
    Instead, Da'ath pertains only to the *human* consciousness as it rises
    in its attempt to cross the Abyss. Da'ath symbolizes the body of
    *experiential* knowledge that the initiate has accumulated and which is
    necessary to reach the lower edge of the Abyss. This body of knowledge
    however, must be discarded in order to actually cross the Abyss.

    Thus Da'ath is unique to each individual who attempts to breach the Veil
    of the Abyss and is a symbol of what that individual must discard or let
    go of in order to reach their journey's end. It exists *only* for the
    individual attempting the crossing and *only* at a specific point or
    moment in that process of crossing. Da'ath appears *only* when one is
    traveling either of the so called "hidden" or "secret" paths which
    connect Gedulah with Binah and Geburah with Chokmah. Diagrammatically,
    Da'ath would be depicted upon the (Hebrew) Tree of Life at the
    intersection of these two "hidden" paths and the Path of Beth (which
    connects Kether with Tiphareth), on the Middle Pillar, equidistant
    between the Paths of Shin and Aleph, and within the realm of sequence.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
