sense in the lessons

Interpretation: In the Sefer Yetzirah the heavens, the stars and the signs of the zodiac are part of the ordered creation made with the letters and the paths. Writers disagree about whether the invisible axis (Teli) is a heavenly pole. In the primary lessons: In science lessons, «celestial bodies» means objects in space, and the «celestial sphere» is the imaginary dome of the sky used in astronomy. In stories and church language, «celestial» describes heaven and angels. It tells the reader of something high, starry or heavenly.
