What I am 'grocking' the most from my Path of Gimel (from Kether to Tipharet) is a better grasp and understanding the way of the Middle Pillar. I do not hope to digest this Path fully. Qabalah is a way of life. Pathworking is allowing me a clarity about my fears. It would be really nice not to have any fears - but then what fun would there be in this dimension? Love. of course, is the antithesis. And have I not created my world to use my fears to bring me to greater levels of love? (I think I just surprised myself.)

My Path Between Kether and Tipharet
As I travel from Kether to Tipharet, I am gaining a new perspective of the "I" that I am. I am in a deep process of forgiveness - looking at my world through my eyes, realizing its subjectivity. I can only change the outer by changing the inner.

Gimel, My Camel Path
I was contemplating the Path of Gimel. I was contemplating walking like a camel, which is what Gimel means. I am taking this quite literally. A camel's hoofs are designed for walking on sand and its body is uniquely designed, and has evolved, for the desert. So how have I evolved? What am I most efficient for? Uniquely designed for? My path in life is a path of service. So I am uniquely designed for the path I have chosen. As a Kabbalist, I have chosen to live the Tree of Life and all of its Paths.

High Priestess and Me
I seem to be challenged with the Path of the High Priestess. In my past, I can see a pattern of interrupt. When things were going well, I would interrupt with some kind or level of chaos. On the Middle Pillar Path of the High Priestess, I seem to be feeling my fears instead of letting go of them.

The Path of Gimel
I am now on the Path of the Hebrew letter, Gimel. This is the path between Kether and Tipharet. Gimel is camel. And so I share be riding a camel for awhile. I am excited about the possibilities that await me on this path on the Middle Pillar. I am already feeling more balanced from being on the Middle Pillar. However, I have seen movies where people have ridden camels, and it dos not look too easy - and sand is not a flat surface. I shall be holding onto the reins with both hands.
