What is Kabbalah?
Kabbalah
is the sacred knowledge of the biblical authors and prophets, which is
secretly encoded into the Hebrew text of the Bible.
History of Kabbalah
The word ‘Kabbalah’
simply translates as ‘received’, connoting the esoteric (secret and for
the initiated only) doctrine, handed down from antiquity. To some it means
the secret revelation Moses received on Mount Sinai, and to
others The Ageless Wisdom of Life, the way to the ultimate God
Realisation. It also an epithet for Jewish Mysticism, although it
generically also applies to the secret doctrines of Christianity and
Islam, which also acknowledge Abraham as their progenitor.
Outside the town of
Be’er Sheva (Seven Wells) in Israel, one may visit the seven wells, which
King Melchizedek (=My King is Righteousness) is believed to have sold to
Abraham. It has been suggested that this is allegorical of the origins of
Kabbalah, referring perhaps also to an initiation into the meditation on
the seven charkas.
Kabbalah is the secret knowledge of the Hebrew
Biblical Authors and Prophets
This deeper
spiritual knowledge is frequently alluded to in the Bible, but only
exposed when applying the rules for decoding biblical texts.
The
Talmud
is almost an encyclopaedic work,
compiled over eight centuries by the most learned Rabbis of the period,
preserving important ancient knowledge, which is spiritual, religious and
secular. It is the oral tradition accumulated over the biblical and
post-biblical eras. It gives an invaluable guide to the understanding of
biblical period, and valuable information about the personalities
mentioned in scripture, which does not appear in the Bible itself.
Hebrew and Aramaic.
The Bible was originally written in Hebrew, and some of its later books in
Aramaic. Until just over one hundred years ago, it was generally
considered a desecration for this Holy Tongue to be spoken. During
biblical times, the spoken language was Aramaic, and Hebrew revered as the
language of prayer, meditation and study of scripture. The two languages
are as different from one another as Nederlands and Afrikaans. Being
adept in either of them, enables one to understand the other. When Hebrew
became a spoken language, the Classical Hebrew of the Bible was adopted.
Certain Jewish sects today, regard this a desecration. If a Biblical
prophet were to become alive today in Israel, he would understand Modern
Hebrew well, but would probably consider the style to be awkward, and
would find fault with the usage of some of the words.
‘Tanach’ is the
Hebrew for ‘The Bible’.
‘Tanach’
int
comprises three Hebrew consonants: -
t
(t) Torah, which translates as ’The Truth’; ‘The Teaching’; ‘The Law’;
‘The Sacred Scrolls’ enshrined in the Holy Ark in the Synagogue, in which
is written by special scribes under stringently holy conditions, the
Five Books of Moses.
N
(n) N’vi’im, ‘Prophets’, refers to the Books of the Prophets, eg. Isaiah,
Ezekiel etc.
I
(ch) C’tuvim, meaning ‘Writings’, eg. Proverbs, Psalms etc.
The esoteric
doctrine is revealed by the Tanach, by applying the principles of decoding
for mystical interpretation of scripture as prescribed in the Talmud and
the Sepher Y’tzirah, is traditionally regarded as the most authentic
source of Kabbalah. The Yoga-Kabbalah Meditation Society supports this
view, but contends that the personal revelations of the trained meditating
kabbalist, who upholds the above, is also of Divine origin, inspired by
the same God who is within every single human upon this planet.
That the Tanach is written in code,
has been known by kabbalists for thousands of years. A simple analogue to
illustrate this assertion would be an army at war desiring to communicate
secret information to its allies. The twenty-six letters of our Latin
alphabet may be used according to a secret code; words meaningless
excepting to those who can decipher the message.
What we study on the
surface text of the Bible is its exoteric message, and the above
techniques of decoding unveil the spiritual knowledge for those who
sincerely seek, and assiduously aspire to its priceless wealth. The Talmud
and the mystical Zohar claim there are seventy layers of interpretation of
the first six chapters of Genesis alone, and the level to which the
initiate is able to penetrate this abyss of knowledge, is determined by
the degree he or she has unfolded the capacity to do so. The Yoga-Kabbalah
Meditation Society offers eleven effective and practical training
workshops, aiming at the actualisation of the spirituality within its
students, who genuinely choose to unfold this unlimited potential.
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
convened a team of computer scientists and biblical scholars to
investigate the feasibility of the Hebrew Tanach being a codified
document. The results were impressively convincing. There was perhaps even
deeper esoteric knowledge revealed than what was published. The technique
employed was a rather simple one compared with the more sophisticated ones
employed by some kabbalists.
The Sepher
Y’tzirah (Book of Creation)
To some kabbalists this work is synonymous with
Kabbalah.The origins and antiquity of the Sepher Y’tzirah are uncertain,
and its content is of fundamental importance to kabbalistic technology,
and it abstrusely lays out the four systems of symbolism. These are the
tools the aspirant uses for discovering the arcane knowledge of the Hebrew
text, of which extremely little appears on the surface, even to many who
study the Bible in its original language. The four systems are: -
The Power of
Hebrew letters.
The power of
numbers (Power Numerology).
Astrology and
the power of the zodiacal signs (The Mazalot).
The Tree of
Life (Eits Ha’chayim).
The Four
Systems of Symbolism of the Sepher Y’tzirah
The Power
of Hebrew letters.
The power
of numbers (Power Numerology).
Astrology
and the power of the zodiacal signs (The Mazalot).
The Tree
of Life (Eits Ha’chayim).
The
Four Worlds
From the Sepher Y’tzirah it is metaphorically asserted,
the Universe is composed of four phases of existence: The Physical,
The World of Energy (inhabited by angels), the World of Force (the realm
of archangels), and the World of the Purest Divine Energies. It is by
learning how to meditate on these planes of consciousnes; our
meditators powerfully activate immense qualities, abilities and resources,
latent in their psyches. These enrich the NLP processes employed,
resulting in attaining outcomes more effectively.
Tapping into the resources of the Four Worlds, is done
through meditation.
The Tree of
Life (Eits Ha’chaim)
Proverbs III – 17 and 18:
‘Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
She
is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her.
And happy is everyone that retaineth her.’
The Tree of Life is a most invaluable map of the
whole Universe and the Psyche, guiding the esoteric traveller on his
or her inner journeys, in discovering the latent spiritual riches,
metaphorically referred to as the Divine Image in which Man is created.
(Genesis chapter 1). A thorough training in using the meditation
technology, provided by this paradigm, safely enables our
meditators to attain this inner wealth, which manifests as the empowerment
and the superb results they achieve in their outer lives.
The Tree, in its
multidimensionality, brilliantly charts the Universe and the Psyche. The
S’phirot, (or the energy spectra), and the Paths, (or the processes) for
unleashing these Divine gifts, are revealed to our students during
meditation.
Pathworkings
are the meditations on the Tree, which are the deep sources of the
processes activated in the psyche, by the NLP techniques designed to
successfully attain outcomes. This course integrates the two systems, thus
enhancing both.
Astrology and Kabbalah
It will be discovered from the Tree of Life, the
ancient kabbalists had an accurate knowledge of our solar system, only
relatively recently rediscovered by Galileo and Copernicus. This will be
briefly introduced on this course, and extensively treated on the
Astrology NLP and Meditation course. (Please click *Archetypes of the
Unconscious and the Contributions of CJ Jung).
Tarot
The Tarot deck is
the Tree of Life in picture form, the twenty-two keys of the major arcane
mapping out the twenty-two paths of the Tree, and the Hebrew letters
placed on them. Meditation on these keys for activating the
archetypes of the unconscious will be introduced. (see above
‘*Archetypes of the Unconscious and the Contributions of CJ Jung’) The
four suits of the minor arcane map out the Four Worlds, and the Ten
S’phirot that comprise these worlds.
Meditation on pathworkings and
Tarot is more extensively taught on the Astrology, NLP and Meditation
course. (Please click), and most powerful work is achieved with these
keys on the Advanced NLP and
Psychosynthesis course. (Please click).
Mysticism
and the Yoga-Kabbalah Meditation Society
A Mystic, the
Oxford Dictionary defines, is ‘concerned with direct communion of the soul
with God; seeking absorption into God or the infinite; believing in the
spiritual apprehension of truths intellectually incomprehensible’.
It is an essential
priority of the Yoga-Kabbalah Meditation Society to effectively train its
members towards the attainment of these mystical ideals, and many of its
meditators have proved that having reached a greater realisation of these
sacred principles, experientially, their lives have positively improved.
Peace of mind
Well-being and health
Improved ability to creatively solve problems in their lives
Increased manifestation of the Universal Love Energy (Ruach Hakodesh)
resulting in:
Improved relationships
Self-healing
Success
Prosperity
