Merkaba
Merkaba, also spelled Merkabah, is the divine light vehicle allegedly used by ascended
masters to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms. "Mer" means
Light. "Ka" means Spirit. "Ba" means Body. Mer-Ka-Ba means the spiritbodysurrounded by counter-rotating !ields o! light, wheels within wheels#, spirals o! energy
as in $%&, which transports spiritbody !rom one dimension to another.

)n modern esoteric teachings, it is taught that the MerKaBa is an interdimensional vehicle
consisting o! two e*ually si+ed, interlocked tetrahedra o! light with a common center,where one tetrahedron points up and the other down. (his point symmetric !orm is called
a stella octangula or stellated octahedron which can also be obtained by etending the!aces o! a regular octahedron until they intersect again.
)n his books, researcher and physicist $runvalo Melchi+edek describes this !igure as a
"Star (etrahedron", since it can be viewed as a three dimensional Star o! $avid. By
imagining two superimposed "Star (etrahedrons" as counterrotating, along with speci!ic"prana" breathing techni*ues, certain eye movements and mudras, it is taught that one can
activate a non-visible saucer shaped energy !ield around the human body that is
anchored at the base o! the spine.

)n medieval Audaism, the beginning o! the book o! 2+ekiel was regarded as the most
mystical passage in the Bible, and its study was discouraged, ecept by mature
individuals with an etensive grounding in the study o! traditional Aewish tets.
Aewish biblical commentaries emphasi+e that the imagery o! the Merkaba is not meant to
be taken literallyH rather the chariot and its accompanying angels are analogies !or thevarious ways that 'od reveals ;imsel! in this world.
Maimonides in his 69 principles o! !aith emphasies that 'od is not limited to any particular !orm, as this prophesy might seem to imply.
5hassidic philosophy and Kaballah eplain at length what each aspect o! this vision
represents in this world, and how they in no way imply that 'od is made up o! these
!orms. (he danger o! understanding these passages as literal decriptions o! 'ods imagelikely accounts !or the opposition among (orah scholars towards learning this topic
without the proper initiation. Aews customarily read the Biblical passages concerning the
Merkaba in their synagogues every year on the holiday o! Shavuot.
!istor"
(he earliest merkabah speculations were eegetical epositions o! the prophetic visions
o! 'od in the heavens, and the divine retinue o! angels, hosts, and heavenly creatures
surrounding 'od. (he earliest evidence suggests that merkabah homiletics did not give
rise to ascent eperiences - as one rabbinic sage states< "Many have epounded upon themerkabah without ever seeing it" (ose!ta Megillah 9I:J<G#.
(he (almudic interdictions concerning merkabah speculation are numerous and widely
held. $iscussions concerning the merkabah were limited to only the most worthy sages,and admonitory legends are preserved about the dangers o! over+ealous speculationconcerning the merkabah. (he sages 3abbi >ochanan Ben akkai d. ca. F 52# and
later, 3abbi &kiva d. 691# were deeply involved in merkabah speculation. 3abbi &kiva
and his contemporary 3abbi )shmael ben 2lisha are most o!ten the protagonists o! latermerkabah ascent literature.
Beyond the rabbinic community, Aewish apocalyptists also engaged in visionary
speculations concerning the divine realm and the divine creatures which are remarkably
similar to the rabbinic material. & small number o! tets unearthed at umran indicatethat the $ead Sea community also engaged in merkabah speculation. 3ecently uncovered
Aewish mystical tets also evidence a deep a!!inity with the rabbinic merkabah homilies.3ecently, considerable scholarly attention has been paid to the use o! merkabah themes inearly Aewish-5hristian circles.
(he merkabah homilies eventually consisted o! detailed descriptions o! multiple layered
heavens usually seven in number#, o!ten guarded over by angels, and encircled by
!lames and lightning. (he highest heaven contains seven palaces hekhalot#, and in the

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ellie-crystal-merkaba-easy-way-to-achieve-it 15/35
innermost palace resides a supreme divine image 'ods 'lory or an angelic image#
seated on a throne, surrounded by awesome hosts who sing 'ods praise.
@hen these images were combined with an actual mystical eperiential moti! o!individual ascent paradoically called "descent" in most tets# and union is not precisely
known. By in!erence, contemporary historians o! Aewish mysticism usually date thisdevelopment to the third century 52. &gain, there is a signi!icant dispute amongst
historians over whether these ascent and unitive themes were the result o! some"!oreign," usually 'nostic, in!luence, or a natural progression o! religious dynamics
within rabbinic Audaism.
The Biblical Merkaba in #epth
&ccording to the verses in 2+ekiel and its attendant commentaries, the analogy o! theMekaba image consists o! a chariot made o! many angels being driven by the "Likeness
o! a Man." /our angels !orm the basic structure o! the chariot. (hese angels are called the
"5hayot".
(he bodies o! the "5hayot" are like that o! a human being, but each o! them had !our!aces, corresponding to the !our directions the chariot can go north, east south and west#.
(he !aces are that o! a man, a lion, an o later changed to a child or cherub# and an
eagle. Since there are !our angels and each has !our !aces, there are a total o! 6D !aces.2ach 5hayot angel also has !our wings.
(wo o! these wings spread across the length o! the chariot and connected with the wings
o! the angel on the other side.
(his created a sort o! bo o! wings that !ormed the perimeter o! the chariot. @ith theremaining two wings, each angel covered its own body.
Below, but not attached to the !eet o! the "5hayot" angels are other angels that are shaped
like wheels. (hese wheel angels, which are described as "a wheel inside o! a wheel", are
called "0phannim" - wheels, cycles or ways#.
(hese wheels are not directly under the chariot, but are nearby and along its perimetermuch like the wheels o! a car. (he angel with the !ace o! the man is always on the east
side and looks up at the "Likeness o! a Man" that drives the chariot. (he "Likeness o! a
Man" sits on a throne made o! saphire.
(he Bible later makes mention o! a third type o! angel !ound in the Merkaba called"Seraphim" lit. burning# angels. (hese angels appear like !lashes o! !ire continuously
ascending and decending.
(hese "Seraphim" angels !unctioned somewhat like pistons in that they powered the
movement o! the chariot. )n the hierarchy o! these angels, "Seraphim" are the highest,that is, closest to 'od, !ollowed by the "5hayot", which are !ollowed by the "0phannim".

(he chariot is in a constant state o! motion, and the energy behind this movement runs
according to this heirarchy. (he movement o! the "0!anim" is controlled by the "5hayot"
while the movement o! the "5hayot" is controlled by the "Sera!im". (he movement o! allthe angels o! the chariot are controlled by the "Likeness o! a Man" on the (hrone.
$ %hassidic &'planation
5hassidic philosophy eplains that Merkaba is a multi-layered analogy that o!!ers insight
into the nature o! man, the ecosystem, the world, and teaches us how to become better people.
(he !our 5hayot angels represent the basic archetypes that 'od used to create the current
nature o! the world. 0!annim, which means ways, are the ways these archetypes combine
to create actual entities that eist in the world. /or instance, in the basic elements o! theworld, the lion represents !ire, the o earth, the eagle wind, and the man water.
;owever, in practice, everything in the world is some combination o! all !our, and the particular combination o! each element that eist in each thing are its particular 0!annim
or ways. )n another eample, the !our 5hayot represent spring, summer, winter and !all.(hese !our types o! weather are the archetypal !orms. (he 0!annim would be the
combination o! weather that eists on a particular day, which may be a winter-like day
within the summer or a summer like day within the winter or whatever.
(he Man on the throne represents 'od, who is controlling everything that goes on in theworld, and how all o! the archetypes ;e set up should interact.
(he Man on the throne, however, can only drive when the !our angels connect their
wings.
(his means that 'od will not be revealed to us by us looking at all !our elements !orinstance# as separate and independent entities. ;owever, when one looks at the way that
earth, wind, !ire and water !or instance# which all oppose each other are able to work
together and coeist in complete harmony in the world, this shows that there is really ahigher power 'od# telling these elements how to act.
(his very lesson carries over to eplain how the !our basic groups o! animals and the !our
basic archetypal philosophies and personalities reveal a higher, godly source when one is
able to read between the lines and see how these opposing !orces can and do interact in
harmony. & person should strive to be like a Merkaba, that is to say, he should reali+e allthe di!!erent *ualities, talents and inclinations he has his angels#.
(hey may seem to contradict, but when one directs his li!e to a higher goal such as doing
'ods will the man on the chair driving the chariot# he will see how they all can worktogether and even complement eachother.

ltimately, we should strive to reali+e how all o! the !orces in the world, though they may
seem to con!lict can unite when one knows how to use them all to !ul!ill a higher
purpose, namely to serve 'od.
Ke" Te'ts
(he ascent tets are etant in !our principal works, all redacted well a!ter the third but
certainly be!ore the ninth century 52.

& !i!th work provides a detailed description o! the 5reator as seen by the "descenders" atthe clima o! their ascent.
(his work, preserved in various !orms, is called Shiur omah "Measurement o! theBody"#, and is rooted in a mystical eegesis o! the Song o! Songs, a book reputedly
venerated by 3abbi &kiva.
(he literal message o! the work was repulsive to those who maintained 'ods
incorporealityH Maimonides d. 6GF:# wrote that the book should be erased and allmention o! its eistence deleted.@hile throughout the era o! merkabah mysticism the
problem o! creation was not o! paramount importance, the treatise Se!er >et+irah "Book

)t !eatures a linguistic theory o! creation in which 'od creates the universe by combining
the GG letters o! the ;ebrew alphabet, along with emanations represented by the ten
