Opinions? It is based mostly on Parzival and the numbers are his age at each spirituual experience but they were pretty average and consistant so I kept them. Been woking on this for years but feel free to challenge me on it. That's why I am posting it. My personal info isn't a mistake since I doubt an old bald guy is going to get many stalkers. I just wanted to make sure people knew this was MY work and not copied from somewhere.

Greetings Darin Hamel,
Yes I can see the uniqueness of your work, yet, I can also see a similarity to at least two of the Qabalistic Worlds Namely Assiah or "The World of Action" The Physical Realm, and the Briah as the World of Creation containing the Mental Constructs, the Conscious, Unconscious, and Astral or Mental Structures. Then It would I suppose be logical to accord the Highest Sphere to that of "The White Robe" or the level of attainment one reaches upon cessation of the Physical and Mental Constructs where all division is slain and the Pure Soul is once again Absorbed into a Universal Consciousnessnes.
It is interesting you used the Phrase: "The difference from knowing the Path and Walking the Path." I heard that phrase on the movie Matrix, yet it is very desriptive to the Creative Expression of reaching the Enlightened State of the Magister Templi who works toward the fulfillment of "The Great Work" which contemplates the Union of the Ones Life back to the Source.
It could be that The Ascension " or choice to Ascend" could be by choice held off such as the Mahayana Buddhists belif in the Bodhissatvas or Partially Enlightened Persons who forestall complete Enlightenment and Absorption within the Cosmic Mind and Spirit in order to Teach or Guide those still upon the Path of Awakening.
One thing I did notice is that your Tree of Life Glyph basically was structured from a Physical and Spiritually Point of view. In that there was a Veil in between the Physical and Spiritual, which would seem as if it meant there is a separation of these Unified Aspects of Being. This could be interpreted that you designed the Glyph with the belief that the Physical Existence was somehow lesser than that of the Spirit or as a Separation of the Unity of Being. (This may not have been your thoughts at all), yet, when looking at the purely Physical and then the jump to Mental coupled with Spiritual Aspects with the Designations Higher Physical Plane, Lower Physical Plane, it could be viewed as if the Body, that is the Vehicle of the Soul is somehow unworthy of receiving the Transmission of Light.
The important thing to consider is The
Source is both the Starting and Receiving Place of the Life Cycle, to become fully Enlightened one knows no distinction whatsoever, they are completely absorbed in the Supra Conscious Mind of the Universe.
I would however like to say it is a very good construct and if it is according to your true beliefs, than I would just say "More Power To You," follow it to the fullest. After All this Life is full of diversity and your views hold just as true to you as mine do to me.
Thanks for taking the time to post your research and studies.
Respectfully,
Helel (Joseph)
