1) The development of the Form
2) The awakening and development of Consciousness
3) The conscious integration of Spirit
The three phases correspond to the following:
| Form | Consciousness | Spirit |
| Binah | Hockmah | Kether |
| Shin (Fire) | Mem (Water) | Aleph (Air) |
| Personality | Soul | Spirit |
According to the Sefer Yetzirah, the Hebrew letter Shin is stationed in Binah and therefore is associated with the Great Mother (i.e. the universal 'form principle').
Binah (and Shin) superintend the evolution of the Form principle which includes the personality aspect of every human-being - consisting of the mental, astral, and physical bodies.
Because the Hebrew letter Shin occupies the precise center of the 'master mandala' we have deduced that the ultimate intent of this mandala is the manifestation (or embodiment) of Shin within the Form principle. But in order to achieve this supreme goal there must ensue 21 lesser manifestations which are indicated by the central Hebrew letter in each of the 21 component mandalas that appear on the seven spokes of the master mandala.
The component mandala that is positioned at the very center of the master mandala provides a map of the central Hebrew letters of all the other component mandalas. It is called the ThK mandala because it is the final mandala of the entire series of 22 mandalas. (See the Introduction for further explanation of the ALBaM code.)

You can see that the letter Shin (in the diagram above) is located at the center of the ThK mandala.
The ThK mandala is therefore a mandala that provides for us the underlying design of the creative process inherent within the master mandala of the Form principle. And it contains the ultimate purpose of this process in Shin at its center. We will therefore call the ThK mandala the 'key mandala' (i.e. in relation to the development of the Form principle).

The above diagram shows the positioning of all the component mandalas within the framework of the 'Shin' master mandala. The notation used is based upon the ALBaM code. The spokes are numbered in red from one to seven. Notice that the ThK mandala sits at the center.
