Gaffa, Kether & Malkuth

[Klaatu@cybernetics.net]

I thought that I once found the term Gaffa in some kaballistic 
text as one of the 10 positions on the Tree of Life. This is what
I think of whenever I hear that song. Being stuck in Gaffa is
more of a rationalization of being helpless at the whims of fate.
I'm also reminded of David Bowie's song "Station to Station" which 
starts off like a train ride, going from Kether to Malkuth. The 
allegory is that he's not traveling from one train station to another,
but between stations on the tree of life.  Which again is an allegory 
for changing your psychological outlook on life. I think that Gaffa
is the allegory for a self-sabotaging state of mind, although I'm
not quite sure without pulling out a few books.
