We conclude each week of our counting by bringing Malchut, the lowest of the sefirot, into the sefirah of the week. This week we offer up Malchut to Tiferet, that this level of Kingdom might drink fully of the Compassion that illuminates the heart, and that Tiferet might bask the culmination of its energy.

We focus our energies on the central pillar of the Tree. The channel of Light passes between the heart and the base of the spine. As Malchut and Tiferet meet, we experience a special kind of inner balance.

Malchut is the sefirah which symbolises the reality in which we all live. It receives its energy from all the other sefirot. But the vessel of Malchut is also the most complex, and those other energies are often hidden within it. Our challenge is to honour all those energies, that we might consciously evolve.

To truly bless Malchut in Tiferet is to recognise the perfection of all that manifests and that Perfection can only be perceived through the knowing that awakens at Tiferet. The only real control we have over the past is our attitude towards it, and that attitude drastically affects our present moment.^[1] To bring Malchut into the awareness called Tiferet nourishes the beauty hidden in all things on this level of reality.

Metaphysical literature often states that twenty-one days of creative meditation are necessary to alter a habit or a belief. We are now completing the first twenty-one days of this journey. We are becoming more aware of the energies within. These meditations are taking root within our consciousness. These days of our counting provide a context for Spirit to awaken within each one of us.
