What is a Merkaba? Light, spirit and body
Merkaba is a word found in Judaism, where it means “chariot” or “throne of God”: it is the heavenly chariot of the prophet Ezekiel’s vision. It also appears in Arabic, where it means a vehicle, and some trace it to ancient Egypt, where it expressed truth and sincerity with oneself. The word is then split into three:
- Mer = light, the energy present in the Universe;
- Ka = spirit, the divine;
- Ba = body, the living being on Earth.
Whatever its meaning and origin, the Merkaba helps us understand ourselves, the world and the Universe: it is the vehicle of light that unites spirit and body.
