Sefer ha-Yetzirah, 231 Gates Options

This book of formation is supposedly how God created / formulate all creations. Altought I'm still clueless on how to use this book, the 231 Gates are mentioned in this book a few times and I am curious what does it refers to?

Hi Doc,

I fail to see how my point is unfounded? I can see how the traditional use of the SY may be different from the present day CM use of the SY but I still maintain that you have to have a firm grounding in the ToL and be familiar with the energies of the tree to use the SY effectively for practical magick. The SY assumes a working knowledge of the universe, regardless of who you are and where you come from, it's methods are advanced in their nature.

Also, since you are the local expert on Kabala (both here and on OF), would you be willing to answer some specific questions on the 231 gates and their application in practial magick? My questions on this will probably sound quite noob, but help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Bro-M
