Netzach focuses on emotions and their expression, rather than articulated words or thoughts. It is the realm of artists who use forms like music and painting to convey their emotions, bridging the inner and outer worlds.

It acts as the active side of the astral light, balancing the passivity of Hod. If Hod is the center of thought, Netzach is its emotional counterpart. It's not something easily understood; it is felt, aligning us with the rhythm of life.

Netzach is filled with vibrant emotions and active forces. These emotions drive us to act and are the energy behind the plans and strategies formulated in Hod. However, caution is needed: the brain, in processing information, might reject some emotions that don't fit our self-image, causing psychological blockages.

These repressed emotions don't disappear; they stay in our subconscious and cast shadows on our personality. Therefore, it is crucial to confront and work with these hidden emotions, highlighting the importance of self-expression, a key component of Netzach.

Netzach is associated with Venus and symbolizes emotions, vital energy, and nature itself. It is like the sunlight of Tiferet breaking into the seven colors when it passes through a prism. These colors, which once formed a single white light, now show their diversity and contribute to the variety of colors we see in the world, creating a spectacle of color, emotion, music, and spontaneity.

Above Netzach, we understand things through abstract ideas or intuition. Below, we enter the world of emotions and abilities like clairvoyance. To summarize this in psychological terms: Malkuth gives us the body and senses, Yesod is the seat of instincts and imagination, Hod relates to thought and will, and Netzach deals with emotions and emotional energy.

Netzach and Hod can work well together or be in conflict, depending on their alignment. This balance can be found in Yesod or Tiferet. Usually, a person's consciousness is more centered in Yesod, which acts as a vessel for the influences of the higher Sefirot, including things like past lives.

Netzach is more about symbols, while Hod is closer to conceptual thinking. But it's important to note that true emotions are found at a higher level, in Tiferet. Netzach is not the source of emotions but their outward expression. The key difference here is between keeping emotions to oneself (introversion) and understanding them to express them healthily (introspection).

Netzach also guides us in the fight against negativity. The ultimate victory is defeating the enemy, which requires a strong will to achieve. Reading spiritual texts like the Zohar can help cleanse our minds of negative influences. Netzach also urges us to understand and feel others' suffering, motivating us to bring our own light to the world. Thus, connecting with Netzach helps us transform darkness into light and find the path to eternal victory.

The Qliphah in Netzach involves expressing emotions and mental patterns we don't recognize in ourselves, like racism or homophobia, which can be rationalized in Hod. When we clash with someone, it often reflects something within us that needs examination. Without conscious effort, we fail to see how much our relationships are shaped by our own mental projections.

We must ask ourselves if we truly see the other person as they are or if we prefer them to fit a distorted version of ourselves. The answer lies in how much we care about that other human being. In Netzach, the defect or Qliphah is selfishness, the desire to receive only for oneself in all forms, while the virtue or Midah is its opposite, selflessness.

Netzach relates to emotional energies and their polarity. Its positive traits focus on the ethics of caring for others: being empathetic, sensitive, tolerant, aware of how our actions affect others, supportive, and cooperative. It is also crucial to know how to receive in return. We seek relationships that not only complete us but also benefit everyone involved.

In a Sephirah that resonates with nature and art, the spiritual experience is seeing beauty in its most triumphant form. While the ethics of Truth or Goodness are commonly discussed, the emotionally transformative power of Beauty, which connects us directly with higher spiritual ideas, is less understood.

In a universe filled with beauty and limitless interconnections, every being has the right to be themselves. To achieve this, each being has been endowed by Divine Providence with the specific energy needed to reach their fullness.

Lastly, the seventh word, the commandment is: You shall not commit adultery. Traditionally, this commandment has been understood in a sexual context, but today, with growing ecological awareness, it has gained a broader meaning, including the importance of not adulterating nature.

Adultery isn't just about romantic relationships; it extends to other areas of our lives. For instance, we harm our bodies when we consume harmful substances, like in cases of alcohol addiction. This leads to physical, mental, and moral deterioration.

In the realm of romantic relationships, especially with our partners, these can be the most complete because they involve various aspects: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Each relationship is unique. The commandment's goal is to maintain and protect the wholeness and integrity of each individual and all relationships so they can reach their fullest potential.

Thus, the mandate in Netzach is to know oneself. We must understand our true feelings and desires beyond our inhibitions and projections. This self-knowledge also helps us understand others' motivations. Since knowledge grants power, it also gives us responsibility, as our actions impact others. This applies both in our personal lives and in magical or ritual practices.

Netzach is the area where we experience our emotions before they pass through Hod, where they are filtered and limited through language. We can't live life acting solely on our emotions without thinking. Although emotions are important, if not managed properly, they can spiral out of control at any moment, causing us to lose balance.

It's crucial to express our emotions, but we must remember that we are not alone; our emotions affect others. Therefore, they must be regulated according to time and place. To achieve this, emotions must be guided by the higher triad, which includes Kether, Chokhmah, and Binah.
