The path emanates from the Ein Sof, the boundless source of divinity. It begins at Keter (crown) and ends at Malkuth (realm) where the physical world manifests.[1]
The order of creation is as follows:[2]
Name
The name comes from the flaming sword which God put to guard the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve were cast out.[3]

Some have noted that the path resembles three 7s. This may correspond to the value of the Hebrew letters of the tree of life connectivity that the path overlaps with which, in gematria (Jewish numerology) have a value of 777 when added together.[4][5]
