Energy Centers on the Tree of Life.

[anagogy]

The thing is, I understand the archetypes to be primarily a 3rd density construct, as a tool of polarization for the advanced seeker.

I'm not sure the Tree of Life encodes information/relationships about the densities.

As I understand it, the Tree of Life is supposed to depict the "emanations of the creator" so in my opinion it encodes both density relationships and archetypal relationships.  Similar to the seven within seven within seven concept of subdensities.  So the subdensities equal our 3rd density archetypal experience, in the next density, the subdensities would represent their archetypical constructs, which would be somewhat different than ours in nuance.

So you can configure the tree of life in a never ending chain, similar to the seven divisions in an octave, where on the 8th note a new set of seven is started.  So the archetypal kether of our density would become the archetypal malkuth of the next density, and so on.  

For example:



This is a big part of why I consider Kether to be synonymous with the octave density, at least, in principle.

so this is a 11th station?  do most traditions include it?

There are different opinions on the "hidden sephiroth" that is daath.

My research suggests that daath is all the sephira joined together as one.  And usually, in a given tradition, if daath is counted as a sephiroth, then kether is not.  Daath is said by many kabbalists to be a "lower reflection" of Kether in a place of mind (knowledge) whereas Kether, as the "crown", sits "above" the head (implying it is "beyond" mind).  Archetypically, in a 3rd density sense, I associate it with someone in 3rd density who had penetrated the violet ray subdensity, but as I said you can also apply it to the octave as a whole.  Anyway, there are a lot of different opinions on the tree of life (take me and matt for example, we have mostly radically different perspectives on it).

I consider Daath to be synonymous with violet ray.  The sephira on the middle pillar I understand to be polarity-less qualities.  I also see the emanations of "Ain" "Soph" and "Aur" encoded within the tree of life itself, whereas some others see those emanations as separate from it.
