## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: Sefer Yetzirah says divine influence flows through the path from God's blessing on all beings. Jewish tradition has a blessing, a berakhah, for many things. In the primary lessons: in tales, a blessing given by a wise person, or a thing that brings great comfort and joy to someone who sees it

### Examples

- The Twenty-first Path is the Intelligence of Conciliation, and is so called because it receives the divine influence which flows into it from its benediction upon all and each existence.
