The First Path 
Keter
[PREVIOUS PATH]
The Infinite
Keter's planet is Pluto.
Divine ideal wisdom / Will / Inspiration / Spirit
Keter is the source of all, including the things as yet unmanifest. Stabilizing consciousness at this sphere is the goal of human evolution.
KETER, or "The Infinite," is the crown of the tree, the peak of the spiritual realm, the assimilation of all spiritual work. It is the place where the pure energy first steps into the world and becomes recognizable.
Keter, forming a triad with Binah and Kochma, balances three forces: Spiritual love and awareness (Binah), Spiritual will and purpose (Kochma), and the infinite realized self (Keter). These three spheres could be compared to the 'Father, Son, and Holy Ghost' in the Christian pantheon.
Keter is Brahman - the impersonal, absolute existence, or Godhead, the all-pervading transcendental reality, the implicate and implicit order. Because of Maya (Key 2), Brahman is concealed from the Atman (Tipharet).
Potentials of Keter: Solving the inner quest, revelation, divine inspiration, Samadhi, spiritual ecstasy, enlightenment, union with infinite merciful bliss.
This is the completion of desire re-uniting with source. The realm of separating desire is among the lower sephirot, having first divided out of MALCHUT.
Torah crown by Yaakov Davidoff.
Keter is called the "Crown," while Malchut is Kingdom. Some Kabalists envision multiple trees of life connected top to bottom, with Crown and Kingdom joined. This allows for infinitely more layers and distinctions within Creation. Concepts of Kingdom/King/Creator are explored in Malchut.
The joining of Keter and Malcut follows Sepher Yetzira, which says: "The End is Buried in the Beginning." Keter is Cause, Malchut is Effect. Keter is the "male" aspect of Creation, Malchut is the "female" aspect of creation.
Crowns appear in Key 2, Key 3, Key 4, Key 5, Key 7, Key 11, Key 14, Key 16, Keter, and Malchut.
Balance, always a core concept in Qabala, manifests itself in the transpersonal triad as a synthesis of our highest thinking, feeling and awareness.
Transpersonal Triad "colors" are light, the absence of light (dark), and half-light.
The fragrance ascribed to Keter is Ambergris. The character is the prodigal son, returning to the father. This is where the individual raindrop joins the sea.
Commandment: I AM YHVH, your God, who took you out of Egypt.
