Kabbalah in Judaism

I needed to post this thread here also -

"Is this in reference only to the "tree of life" or does kabbalah extend beyond the male and feminine aspects of human existence? I'm under the impression it's a mental, physical, and spiritual study involving the many areas of life. Mental and physical giving birth to spiritual qualities inside a man or woman. Am I off base in my simplicity or close to intent? I'm seeing mother/father, children, and spirit as the crux of kabbalistic study."

does kabbalah extend beyond the male and feminine aspects of human existence?

They extend beyond human existence.

Primoridal masculine-and-feminine ( in Hebrew, Zachar and N'Keivah ) are created in Gen 1:26-28.

1:26​

​

ויאמר אלהים נעשה אדם בצלמנו כדמותנו וירדו בדגת הים ובעוף השמים ובבהמה ובכל־הארץ ובכל־הרמש הרמש על־הארץ׃​

​

And God says, Let us make humanity with/in our image, similar to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flyers of the heavens, and over the creatures, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps towards the earth.​

​

​

1:27​

​

ויברא אלהים את־האדם בצלמו בצלם אלהים ברא אתו זכר ונקבה ברא אתם׃​

​

So God creates humanity with/in [an] image with/in his image, God created him, Zachar ( masculine ) and Z'Keivah ( feminine ). [He] created them.​

​

​

1:28​

​

ויברך אתם אלהים ויאמר להם אלהים פרו ורבו ומלאו את־הארץ וכבשה ורדו בדגת הים ובעוף השמים ובכל־חיה הרמשת על־הארץ׃​

​

And God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flyers of the heavens, and with/in all Chayah that moves upon the earth.​

"... Let us make humanity with/in our image, similar our likeness ... "

Masculine and feminine were created with/in the form of the others which were created before them. " ... Let us make ... " The "us" is all the others which were created including light and darkness. This is the original source of western esoteric practices of sorcery. The human is a microcosm of all creation and possesses with/in it soul-powers of all the others to some degree. The primordial soul powers Masculine and feminine, according to the written Torah, certainly extend beyond human existence.
