>Kliphoth: The Lowly Gentiles
>However, it is important that one is not born too low beneath the En Sof. For, as the chart reveals (fig. 4), beneath Israel the light has become so degenerated that it produces what are called “Kliphoth,” “shells,” or demons. This includes the ten orders of demons, the ten arch devils, and of course, the lowly Gentiles, of whom the rabbinic treatise Sepher Or Israel 1776 advises: “Take the life of the Kliphoth and kill them, and you will please God the same as one who offers incense to Him.” (Pranaitis p. 82). This is the vile and distorted world, the very end of the road from the original source of light and holiness— a world of chaos and disorder, where the great serpent Samael rules
>Although the progression from God, the En Sof, all the way to the Kliphoth is most easily grasped as 10 emanations or “sephirot,” the Kabbalah actually teaches that this pattern of 10 divisions is repeated four different times before it actually reaches the Kliphoth. Thus the first layer or 10 is called the Azilutic World, the second the Briah World, the third, the Yetzirah World, and the fourth the Assiah World. The tenth emanation in each of these four worlds corresponds to Israel. Consequently, Israel as we see her in the Middle East today is only her most external manifestation: In the unseen Yetzirah world Israel is even more actual. The same is true in the deeper layer of reality, the Briah world. Finally, in the world of Azilut, nearest to the essence of God Himself, Israel is eternally present and necessary. With this in mind we can catch a glimpse of what Judaism means when it speaks of the uniqueness, divinity, and eternity of the Jewish race. According to the Kabbalah the Jew is as fundamental to God and Nature as a proton is to an atom, or oxygen to a waiter molecule, undergirding, as the tenth sefirot, every layer of reality
