Exploring Kabbalah's Great Chain of Being, the Seder Hishtalshelut, the scheme reconciling the coexistence of God and World, the One and the Many, the ladder or bridge separating and connecting them, upon which God ‘descends’ and the mystics may ‘ascend.’ Watch the full vid: youtu.be/y1CvfTp-L_w

Part of a series on Jewish Pantheological thought. Looking at the way thinkers within the Jewish tradition thought about the relationship between God and World, in creative, daring and inspiring ways.
This is a clip from the second instalment looking at the thinking of the Kabbalists on this issue, trying to get a glimpse of just how they go about thinking and unpacking nothing less than what they believe to be the mysteries of the universe, God and the human condition.
