Olam HaTohu - the great emptiness/chaos of the primordial universe

Source of the images (link)
In Jewish creation mythology, creation is described in stages (so-called worlds).
These are: Atzliuth, Beri'ah, Yetzira, Assiah

I adopt this principle of the four worlds and use it to describe four stages of development of Earth's metaphysics as follows:

Stage of development 'Atzliuth': The formation of the earth around 4.5 billion years ago
State of biological creation: Olam Hatohu - emptiness and chaos
The word 'emptiness' means there was no life on earth yet. The word 'chaos' means that biological laws did not yet exist.








Stage of evolution 'Beri'ah': The formation of the moon around 4.3 billion years ago
State of biological creation: preparation for the emergence of life







Stage of development 'Yetzira': The emergence of the first life forms
State of biological creation: bacteria.

Stage of development 'Assiah': The emergence of higher developed forms of life
State of biological creation: eukaryotes.

Regarding the term: “Olam HaTohu”:
The term: "Olam HaTohu - the great emptiness/chaos of the primordial universe" describes the state of the earth's biological cosmos immediately after its creation.

With this interpretation I would like to show the reader that terms in creation myths such as: 'cosmos, (primordial) universe, world' do not necessarily have to refer to the physical cosmos, but sometimes refer to the biological cosmos, i.e. to the creation of life on earth. Words like chaos or emptiness describe the (yet) non-existence of biological laws or life on earth.

About the term “Tohuwabohu / Jetzira”:
The principle of 'Jetzira' and 'Tohuwabohu' can also be applied to the near-earth area and the interplanetary space.

  • In interplanetary space can also be seen as the world of 'Tohuwabohu'
    That means it is a world without biological order
  • The near-earth area (Hill sphere) can be seen as the world of 'Jetzira'.
    Here in this area, planet earth and therefore the formation of life is at the center.

Regarding the term “Tzimtzum”:
As you can see, the principle of Tzimtzum (contraction) plays a central role in the origins of the earth and thus also of life.

Indian temple dance and the metaphysics of the earth

Bild
The metaphysics of the earth can also be seen in the Indian temple dance. Here, too, can be seen that the Earth's gravitational force plays a crucial role in biological creation. Aramandi, the unfolding of spiritual creativity: At the beginning the dancer goes into her starting position called Aramandi . The weight is specifically shifted downwards so that the pelvis becomes the center of the dance. At the same time, the fan dress also opens and shows that under the influence of the Earth's gravity, the blueprint of life is now beginning to develop out of matter. The vigorous stamping of the feet corresponds to various biorhythms. Aramandi and Tzimtzum: The starting position “ Aramandi ” also corresponds to the principle of Tzimtzum of the Kabbalah. For spiritual creation to be possible, it must center itself internally. This happens because of planet Earth's own gravity. Through self-contraction, the creative power unfolds. The near-earth area: the stage of dance Since it

Indischer Tempeltanz und die Metaphysik der Erde

Bild
Hinweis : Zum Vergrößern der Bilder einfach auf diese klicken. Im indischen Tempeltanz lässt sich die Metaphysik der Erde gut erkennen. Auch hier kann man sehen, dass die Gravitationskraft der Erde eine entscheidende Rolle bei der biologischen Schöpfung spielt. Aramandi, das entfalten der geistigen Schöpferkraft: Zu Beginn geht die Tänzerin in ihre Ausgangsstellung genannt Aramandi . Dabei wird gezielt das Gewicht nach unten verlagert, sodass das Becken zum Zentrum des Tanzes wird. Gleichzeitig öffnet sich auch das Fächerkleid und zeigt an, dass unter dem Schwerkrafteinfluss der Erde sich nun der Bauplan des Lebens aus der Materie heraus beginnt zu entwickeln. Das kräftige Aufstampfen mit den Füßen, entspricht diversen Biorhythmen. Aramandi und Tzimtzum: Die Ausgansstellung „ Aramandi “ entspricht auch dem Prinzip Tzimtzum der Kabbala. Damit geistige Schöpfung möglich ist, muss es sich innerlich zentrieren. Dies geschieht eben durch die Eigengravitation des Planeten Erde. Durch die Sel

Samudra Manthan and the metaphysics of the near-earth area

Bild
Preface: Who doesn't know the story of Samudra Manthan with the demons who run around the world mountain to recover the Amrit? There could be a secret behind this nondescript story, namely the secret of the origin of life and the reason why humans will never reach Mars. But before I go into this topic in detail, a few explanations first. About the term: “Shakti” The spiritual creative force “Shakti” can best be associated with the gravitational force of the earth. She is invisible and inconspicuous, but still has omnipotence over her creatures. And that is us and the life on earth under whose influence it came into being. About the term: “Shiva” Around 4.3 billion years ago, the earth's moon came into being and its tidal force "Shiva-Shakti" arose with it. This special form of Shakti not only created the lunar nodal axis, i.e. the world serpent, but also the two demonic forces • Asuri-Shakti --> the High tide • Devi-Shakti --> the Low-Tide Through these tidal fo
