KABBALAH
Kabbalah, meaning ‘receive’ is a living tradition of mystical knowledge concerning God, the Universe and Humanity.
It is a perennial teaching that is primarily oral and has been handed down over the generations by living teachers, schools of the soul and direct experience. Kabbalah has been passed down through the Judaeo-Christian line but is relevant and applicable to all traditions.
The principles of the four worlds of physicality, psychology, spirituality and divinity and their interaction are elegantly symbolised in the map of existence known as Jacob’s Ladder, or the extended Tree of Life. It is this ladder of illumination that those who enter the ‘Work’ seek to climb and experience in order to integrate what is learned into everyday life.
By this means heaven may indeed touch the earth.
