| description | Navigate the Kabbalistic Tree of Life (Etz Chaim) — explore the ten sephirot, twenty-two paths, four worlds, and three pillars. Covers correspondences, contemplative exercises, and structural analysis. Use when exploring a sephira's attributes and divine names, studying structural relationships between sephirot, learning the four worlds (Atzilut through Assiah), tracing a path's Hebrew letter and tarot attributions, or using the Tree as a symbolic map for understanding a concept or system.

讀生命之樹
行卡巴拉之生命樹（Etz Chaim）——定十質、追廿二徑、識其象，於四界三柱之構中行冥想。
用時
- 欲察一質之屬與其聖名
- 欲解諸質之構相連（徑、三角、柱）
- 學四界（Atzilut 至 Assiah）及其於樹之層
- 欲行繫於樹上某處之冥想
- 追二質間之徑，需其希伯來字、塔羅、元素之對
- 用樹為象之圖以解一念或一系
入
- 必要：欲察之質、徑或構之元（如 Tiferet、Hod 與 Yesod 間之徑、嚴柱）
- 可選：傳承之擇（古猶太卡巴拉、赫密斯卡巴拉、比較）
- 可選：深淺之等（概覽、詳習、冥想）
- 可選：當下之境或樹宜照之問
法
第一步：定欲察之質或徑
定樹上之具體位與其本識。

Three Pillars:
- Pillar of Severity (left): Binah, Gevurah, Hod — restriction, form, judgment
- Pillar of Mercy (right): Chokmah, Chesed, Netzach — expansion, force, compassion
- Pillar of Balance (middle): Keter, Tiferet, Yesod, Malkut — equilibrium, integration
- 命用者所欲察之質、徑或構之元
- 定其於樹圖之位——何柱、何界、何三角
- 記其號（質為 1-10；徑古傳為 11-32）
- 識其傳承之境：古典（Cordovero、Luria）或赫密斯（Golden Dawn）
得：察始之位明於樹上。用者可於整構中心定其元。
敗則：若用者所請含混（如「言樹之事」），先示三柱十質之概，後問深察何處。
第二步：習質之屬
於所定之質，依古傳示其全屬。
