Keter, in Jewish mysticism, is the topmost of the Sephirot, or "Tree of Life." Its meaning is "crown," interpreted as both the topmost of the Sephirot and the regal crown of the Sephirot. Its opposite in the Sephirot is Malkut.
Keter (good) and Malkut (evil) form the range of the spiritual dimension. The evil in Malkut is usually considered to encompass all human actions, as Keter is believed to be achievable by only the divine (many Kabbalists believe that a human capable of such a feat would transcend, though it is the subject of intense debate in among Jewish mystics).
Chokmah and Binah join Keter as the topmost of the Sephirot, forming the upper delta and governing one of the Divine Principles. These three also compose the realm of godly unity.
