Crown of Life
“Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” -Revelation 2:10
In Hebrew, the word crown is Kether, which is the first sephirah on the tree of life. Kether is the first emanation of the Absolute. Therefore, the crown of life is related to the top triangle on the tree of life:
- Kether (Hebrew: "Crown")
- Chokmah (Wisdom)
- Binah (Intelligence)
"The crown of life is the eternal breath, profoundly unknowable to itself. It is a breath of the Absolute within us. It is that pure ray from which the Innermost of each human being emanated. It is the Atmic thread of the Hindustanis... Understand that no one can receive the crown of life without first having lifted his seven serpents upon the staff.
Anyone who says, “I received the crown of life” lies, because the one who receives it does not boast about it. The one who receives it is only known by his deeds. The crown of life is a remarkable secret." -Samael Aun Weor, The Major Mysteries
