So...I do a lot of study into the Kabbalah (Jewish tradition, strictly) and every book and article I've read, thusfar, merely mentions the sephira-that's-not-really-a-sephira, D'aat, or Daath. None of these books and articles I've read really goes into any explanation of it, or how it works in relationship to the soul, and even less exactly where it leads (which is possibly the most important aspect, if you ask me). All I know is this: D'aat is associated with the throat and its corresponding chakra. It deals with speech, and truth as given from the divine. Not inspiration, knowledge, understanding or knowledge, but things that are communicated directly from the divine, as well as "other" sources. I also know that it is believed by some to lead to Kelippot, or the Jewish/Kabbalistic equivalent to hell. It is a path to communicate with both angels and demons, and is often considered extremely dangerous (thus, likely, the lack of information on it). Has anyone here studied Kabbalah, and can you give me any information on this mysterious sephira? Can you direct me towards any books or articles on it? This, hopefully, will prove to be interesting.
