The Kabbalah (Part 1): Unveiling an Ancient Map of Consciousness
 

The origin of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life is shrouded in mystery. Some trace it back to the Talmud, some in the mystical Chariot of the Merkavah, some in the Sepher Yetzirah, the Book of Splendour, ascribed to the patriarch Abraham, some believe that it comes from a literature which was unrelated to Judaism.

The Kabbalah, which means “to receive Hidden Truth”, is intended to be a map of consciousness, macrocosmic and microcosmic. Its purpose is to offer us an understanding of God and His forces operating within the cosmos and in man. The legend states that it was orally transmitted from the Adept to the apprentice in the Secret Sanctuaries of Initiation; while from the historical point of view it was to be considered the Jewish mystical teaching about the initiated interpretation of the Hebrew scriptures.

The Kabbalah contains within itself most of the ancient traditions as it embraces them all to offer a panoramic view of the manifestation of the Divine in matter and a Way to go back to the sense of Unity with All that is. It explains how the world manifested and how we as humanity, can overcome the sense of duality we perceive in Life.

During this 4-day course we will explore the origin of this map and its content in order to understand their meaning and purpose: the Hebrew letters, numbers, Tarot, planets, zodiac signs, mundane chakras, magical image, God name, the archangel and the order of angels, virtues and vices, symbols and pagan mythology. Furthermore, we will explore together the qualities of the 10 intelligences represented by the 10 Sephirot.
