Speaking on the subject of the Shechinah and the feminine aspect of creation, Karen Berg explained on a video published on YouTube how the world is a place for receiving, which is the feminine characteristic.  In this world we are all “receivers.” Karen Berg continued to describe the deeper meaning of the story of creation. The tree of life is singular and unified, and represents the higher, perfected realm. The tree of knowledge of good and evil, which Karen reminded us, was the tree Adam and Eve ate from, represents the duality of creation and the disunity in the physical world.
