Da'at

According to Kabbalah: Daat is considered the point of creation, when the active principle of Chokmah, 'wisdom', ( knowledge which comes from without ), meets with the passive principle of Binah, 'understanding', and creates the archetypal idea of 'knowledge'. These three are sometimes referred to as the "superconscious".

However, this sephirot is often not shown on the tree of life, and instead there is an empty space, straddling The Abyss. In fact, there are often two trees depicted, one which shows Daat but not Malkuth (the kingdom), and the other which shows Malkuth but not Daat. These are considered as being before The Fall of Man, and after The Fall, in which the fruit of knowledge is taken from the tree, humanity loses paradise, and falls into the earthly state of suffering represented by Malkuth.

In comparing with Eastern systems, some compare Daath to the Vishuddha chakra in the throat, concerned with creativity, and others compare it with the secretive Bindu chakra at the back of the head, closely related to Vishuddha, which among other things is concerned with the point at which the universe was created.
