The Chamber of Silence
The Abyss — also called the Void, or Da’at — is the stage beyond the alchemical work. It follows illumination, marking the second death: the separation from God. Here, the soul is stripped of its last anchors. The familiar structures of self and spirit dissolve, and one is cast into silence, emptiness, and the unseen matrix behind reality.
The Abyss is the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, the fruit forbidden to the unprepared. For those still bound by ego, even a fragment of its current can be deadly. But for those who have completed the Work, the gate opens. To enter is not a choice, but a summons — the fulfillment of what they came here to complete.
