flowers, plants, animals, medicines, drugs, and tarot imagery further enliven and develop the concepts of each sphere. There are also intuition-kindling segments on mythology, Qabalistic astrology, Stars-intriguing counterparts to the Hindu chakras, each sphere's Sacrament, Divine and Angelic presence plus their corresponding musical tones, awareness-increasing meditations, alternative titles, demystifying the mystifying Graded Tree of Life, a treasure-box of symbols from the four corners of the globe, and plentiful routes to absorbing the Qabalistic Tarot's minor arcana. All have the potential to stimulate new neural pathways and kindle consciousness-expanding realizations-opening the Doors of Perception to an increasingly enlightened Self and view of life.
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO A QABALISTIC FEAST!
This menu describes how the teachings and practical application of the nonsexist, nonracist, nonhomophobic, pan-denominational Universal Qabalah's Ageless Wisdom for 21st-century life are served. Each chapter of this gourmet meal is divided into 4 nourishing courses:
- The Appetizer: Personally Speaking
- The Entree or Main Course: General Information and Symbolism
- The Palate Refresher: Homeplay Suggestions for Practical Application & Integration of each Sephirah
- The Dessert: Affirming, Confirming, and Inspiring Student Experiences
Teasing the Appetite, the Appetizer
Like all fine dining experiences, this begins with an appetizer to stimulate hunger for the upcoming meal. After hours of experimenting in the "kitchen," I opted to begin our banquet-each chapter by presenting "The Appetizer: Personally Speaking," an example of my experiences in living the teachings of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. I aim to create a craving for the Entree and inspire diners to do likewise.
Enter the Entree
Our Feast's sumptuous entree or main course, "General Information and Symbolism," serves up a banquet of the Tree of Life philosophy and symbolism coupled with each of the Tree's ten spheres.
The Pause That Refreshes, the Palate Refresher
"The Palate Refresher: Homeplay Suggestions for the Practical Application and Integration" for each sephirah, presents a menu of experiential "try and see" possibilities. This course offers numerous ideas on the "how to's" of integrating each entree's "General Information and Symbolism" into daily living. Reminding us that knowledge without its application is only half the story, it sets the table for the Dessert of living the teachings of the Qabalistic Tree of Life, which contain the potential to stimulate new neural pathways and in doing so enhance and expand consciousness
Just Desserts, the Dessert
"The proof of the pudding is in the eating," meaning something is a success after it has been put to the test of use. The proof of this Qabalistic Feast comes with its digestion or practical application, "The Dessert: Affirming, Confirming and Inspiring Student Experiences."
