Yirah is the spiritual state associated with the Sephira of geburah. In contrast to the
heart's initial, innate desire to give, deriving from ahavah, yirah expresses one's deeply
felt concern and fear lest one's gift fall into the hands of an unworthy recipient who may
actually misuse it destructively. Yirah evokes geburah, the might necessary to reject and
even fight against negative and destructive forces. The two powers of ahavah and yirah are
intended to complement one another and act as a pair, as the two hands of the body in their
common effort to construct or as the two wings of a bird in their flight upward. In a more
general sense, yirah is understood to represent one's sensitivity to the presence of
another. Sensitivity gives rise to consideration of the other's feelings and respect for him
(as in the idiom yirat hakavod). While ahavah motivates attraction and union, yirah stands
in awe from afar. In relation to God, there are many levels of yirah: yirat haromemut (awe
in the presence of infinite Divine exaltedness), yirat hamalchut (awe in the presence of
Divine kingship), and yirat haonesh (fear of punishment). This last level of yirah is not
exclusively "pure" in its motivation (for it does not picture God directly as the object of
one's yirah), but rather derives from the kelipat nogah (translucent shell) of one's soul
experience, involving a mixture of good (for it precludes sinning) and evil (for it shadows
one's consciousness with thoughts of bad consequences).
Powerful dark ritual industrial/ambient. 34+ minutes of immersion.
