    Hi everyone,

    Studying the nature of Tiphareth has driven me to ponder that if the attainment of awareness in Tiphareth
    would lead to enhanced magickal result due to the emotional balance there in. Another way of putting it
    would be does Tiphareth lead to an indifference when it comes to 'lust of result' because of it's equilibrium?
    Where as in lower sephira or grade states that are not on the middle pillar generally lead to the swaying of emotional
    polarities?

    Thanks

    BTW
    I don't mean indifference in a negative context as in being indifferent to the people around you or suffering, but indifference
    to your own conscious desires?

    "Lust of result" (one way of putting it) is a state in which what isn't so is more important to you than what is so. To the extent that the attainment of Tifereth makes one more connected to reality, and especially in the sense that the attainment of the K&C of the HGA resolves the greatest hungers of the soul, it does likely reduce lust of result.

    The K&C attainment does lead to "enhanced magical result" because one is intimately connected to the HGA, who is the source of all power (etc.), and because one is more deeply connected to one's own truth. The deepening of this is substantially what turns the 5=6 into a 6=5.

    "Where as in lower sephira or grade states that are not on the middle pillar generally lead to the swaying of emotional polarities?"

    No more than the ones on the Middle Pillar, e.g., Yesod. (And perhaps less so in Netzach.)
