Kabbalah ~ God, Torah, Israel
 
 
Faith Symbol Main Page
According to the Zohar, the classic text of Kabbalah, there are three divine manifestations which are essentially one— God, the Torah, and Israel. The Torah being the wisdom and spirit of God, the son (Israel) is born out of and from the wisdom of the Father. Israel (the Jewish people) are the manifest essence (spiritual offspring) of God.

God would be basic universal law or substance of being— the triangle. The Torah represents revelation, intermediary between God and people, a voice or circle— in this case scriptural but could be mystical or natural. The heart then would represent Israel, or in a more cosmic sense not only all of humanity but all empathic beings in the universe.
