The Kabbalah’s Remarkable Idea

zohar

Humanity plays a key role in the repair and restoration of the world. The purpose of evil is to provide a context for humanity's redemption, which puts evil, humanity, and God himself in
their proper places within the cosmos.

Does Prophecy Work?

Supernatbig

What exactly is prophecy? Can we trust it? The esoteric tradition teaches that the future is, at least in principle, knowable. One theory holds that there exists a realm of
images and forms, which has many names in many traditions. The
Kabbalists call it the world of Yetzirah, or "formation."

The Meaning of Sacred Geometry part 2. What’s The Point?

FreeMasonry, Kabbalah, Nuclear Physics, Blackholes, Space Time and the Mustard seed of our reality deftly analyzed and synthesized for your consideration.

"The
practice of Sacred Geometry opens to the mind’s eye an analog of
alternate worlds, higher dimensions representing the ultimate creative
process and an unfolding evolution from Unity to multiplicity, and it
demonstrates the fact that this unfolding on a cosmic scale is governed
by the laws and relations of geometry."
-Randall Carlson

The Meaning of Sacred Geometry part 2. What's The Point?

Read part 1 of the Meaning of Sacred Geometry here,

“Ante omnia Punctum exstitit…”
“Before all things were, there was a Point.”
Anonymous, 18th century ‘Le Mystere de la Croix’

Sacred Geometry,
to be fully appreciated and experienced, must be undertaken as a
contemplative, or meditative exercise.  From the initial act of putting
pencil or compass point to paper each act of geometry is charged with
meaning.  The process of producing the forms, patterns and symbols of
Sacred Geometry should be undertaken as a ritual act, where each line,
curve, shape, gesture or operation takes on a significance far beyond
the mere act itself, and reveals fundamental processes of creativity on a
vast scale and range of phenomenon, from the geometry of atomic and
molecular organization, through the forms and patterns of biological
systems, to the scale of the cosmos itself and the very structure of
Space and Time.  Indeed, the emergence of the Universe from the
unknowable and unfathomable void, before the very existence of Time and
Space, was an act of Geometry.  It is nothing less than this ultimate
act of Creation which is replicated through the placing of pencil upon
paper and from this point the drawing of a line or arc.  From these
simple operations, the Geometrician soon learns to generate an infinite
variety of form and pattern, and is, thereby, following in the footsteps
of Nature herself, such being the indispensable requirement for success
on the Hermetic path.

To ancient masters and teachers geometry
was seen as the definitive Holy Science from which emerged all other
sciences.  Masonic author Carl Lundy affirms this status when he says:

“All
science rests upon mathematics, and mathematics is first and last,
geometry… Geometry is the ultimate fact we have won out of a puzzling
universe.”  

The presumed requirement on the part of
Plato, the acknowledged greatest Metaphysician of the Hellenic world,
that anyone seeking admission to his academy must be conversant with the
principles of Geometry, affirms the importance of this form of mental
training to anyone desiring to tread the path to Metaphysical Knowledge.

Simple Truths vs. Esoteric Ones

The mental constructions of ego and
desire have long been essential to our existence. And
yet, as the Buddha realized 2,500 years ago, these basic constructions cause a lot of pain. The needs most
fundamental to our biological makeup are also the ones which tend to cause the
most suffering.  Is there another
way?

The Cracking Tower

Essence is the immortal portion of our awareness. When we die, we disappear from this planet forever and our life experience is absorbed into our Essence. The ego absolutely must transcend the illusion that it is the center of the psyche. Psychedelics can b…

Vedanta and Kabbalah: Nonduality East and West

God is who is reading these words and writing them, who is thinking and what is thought.  This is the world without an observer, with no inside and no outside, in which That (what seems to be without) and You (what seems to be within) are the same.
