The universe does not need humanity to exist.
But it may require conscious beings to know that it exists.
We are not accidents staring into an indifferent void, nor are we the rulers of creation. We are conscious apertures through which the Infinite recognizes itself—momentarily, precisely, and meaningfully.
Energy began it all. Before Energy, which is a creation, there was will. This will began in the Ain, Ain Soph, Ain Soph Aur. However, when one looks at the images of the Webb space Telescope we are seeing into the vast past of 13.8 billion light years and trillions of galaxies, with a million times more stars.
I am sitting here on earth thinking us Homo Sapiens Sapiens are important .... but to what? We are on a small blue planet at the outer arm of a common spiral galaxy looking into the vastness of the Macrocosm and thinking we are some kind of big deal when we can only see 1% of reality, making 99.9 9 % of our reality an illusion.
Then I think, but to energy itself, we are very important, as an electron microscope is to a scientist. Energy can see itself in many different wave lengths on this planet alone, as microbs see a certain realit, complex cell plants see another reality, insects, fish, reptiles, anachids, birds, and mamals each see a different energy reality. Then there is humans, who see a limited light spectrum of 4% of the light/color spectrum.
Yet we witness another reality. Hence, Energy needs us all to Above all things, know itself. As a simile consciousness which is information in energy, is like an all-encompassing ocean, that needs the smallest plankton and complex fish and water born mammals to be aware of itself and how vast its reality is. This all began with "I Will Be" which is Eheieh in the Hebrew of Western Qabalah and the sephiroth we call Keter/Kether.
Part II — Tiphareth: Psyche as the Solar Mirror
If Kether is the decision to be, Tiphareth is the experience of being aware.
Here Psyche emerges—not as thought, but as self-reflective consciousness. Tiphareth is the Solar center of the Tree of Life, where infinite Will becomes recognizable identity without collapsing into ego.
This is the crucial distinction:
Mind organizes.
Psyche witnesses.
Mind is a tool. Psyche is the field from which the tool arises.
This is why humans can observe their own thoughts, challenge their own beliefs, and feel meaning beyond survival. Psyche is not produced by thought; thought is produced within Psyche.
Here the ocean metaphor becomes essential.
Consciousness is not centralized. It is distributed, like an ocean knowing itself through plankton, fish, and whales alike. Each form experiences the same water at a different depth, speed, and pressure.
Tiphareth is where the ocean becomes self-aware of awareness.
This is also where the immortality question becomes honest.
If Psyche were merely a comfort against death, it would soothe us. Instead, it demands integration, responsibility, and coherence. Psyche does not promise survival of personality—it demands alignment of pattern.
What survives is not biography.
What survives is coherence.
Tiphareth is the furnace where the fragmented self is either integrated—or dissolved.
Hermetic Axiom — Tiphareth
The psyche does not seek eternity for the self, but coherence for the pattern; and only what reflects the One without distortion can endure the Sun.
