Let me explain what I mean by this word Mettasef; it's a forced hybrid of uncommon bedfellows.
Metta is the intent of goodwill. It is a selfless desire for another's welfare, always without personal bias. It is an altruistic love. It is one of the ten pāramitās of the Theravāda school of Buddhism, and the first of the four Brahmavihāras.
"Sef " was derived from the Hebrew word Sefirah or Sefirot. Literally, it is numbering or numeration. Sef references a central symbol of the Kabbalah, it is the Tree of Life.
Every act of creation can be applied to the tree. It is a universal wiring diagram. Energy patterns flow through its paths.
Got it?
Religions' circular and linear lessons lead us through our sphericle nature. Either path is a means to the fulfillment of our destiny.
Metta is attributed to Buddhist writings and meditations. Buddhism is a circular religion that is rich in metaphysical contemplations.
Sefirah is a Hebrew word for enumeration. Judaism is a linear religion that focuses on moral actions.
Together, altruistic action. A human can find its way to God through circular or linear religions, both paths will take us to our completion. Both forms reflect our spherical nature.
How does the spiritual spiral correlate to our physical nature? Is there a metaphysical structure that is also spherical?
