The current objective during this period of manifestation1 of humanity is to achieve equilibrium, in the individual, in the sub-races and in the human race. "Equilibrium" leads to kundalini rising, which triggers Enlightenment. An Enlightened person is said to have evolved from Homo Sapiens (Wise Man) to Homo Spiritus (Spiritual Man), a quantum leap in evolution that can only take place through the conscious effort of each individual human.
Equilibrium in the human race begins with a single individual balancing his or her own body2. The Holy Qabalah is a methodical practice of receiving guidance from Divine Source that, when acted upon, brings the individual into equilibration.
Theosophy3 , the western application of Esoteric Buddhism, gives us details on the etheric physiology of equilibration.
SUTRATMA: the “silver thread” which incarnates from the beginning of a period of manifestation until the end, stringing upon itself the pearls of human existence. It is the line of energy which connects the lower self/sub-conscious body with the Father in Heaven (Higher Self/Super-Consciousness) via the ego4 (personality, self-consciousness), the mediating middle principle.
It is the magnetic cord, or thread connecting the Higher Self to the brain at the Pineal Gland, and to the body at the Sinoatrial Node. It links the physical vehicle and the Higher Self.Let the student find the “noble middle Path” between the pairs of opposites,5 and the Light in the Head shines, connects to the Light of the Soul, and the human being becomes a conscious extension of that Universal Light.
Reflected in the human body, the Sutratma manifests as the Spinal Cord, and expresses in three nerve channels: Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna. When the negative and positive forces of the body, which express themselves via the Ida (-) and Pingala (+) nerve routes, are equilibrated, the forces can ascend and descend by the central channel to and from the brain, passing through the centers (chakras) up the spine without hindrance. When this is the case we have the Higher Self expressed in the physical vehicle.
When the mind is brought under control and the astral body is stabilized, the Sutratma is developed and strengthened so that it becomes a channel of communication between the person (self-consciousness) and his or her Higher Self (Super-Consciousness). The Light of Illumination streams down the into the brain cavity and opens Knowledge; and down into the heart and initiates objective compassion.
“The path of the just is as a shining Light.” And yet at the same time a we must become that path itself. We enter the light and become the light and function then as a lamp set in a dark place, carrying illumination to others and lighting the way6 before them. A human attaining illumination is said to have achieved Messianic Consciousness - Enlightenment.
Equilibrium in the physical body, balance of the mental, emotional and physical, is one step closer to Enlightenment.
The Mystical Practice of Holy Qabalah is a field of inquiry, a method of gaining Wisdom and understanding of the macrocosm and the microcosm. Qabalah comes to us from Abraham, who received it from Archangels. It uses the ability of the mental body to physically initiate meditation in the etheric body that ultimately brings balance to the mental, emotional, and physical realms, called the Four Worlds or Universes.
The greatest block to achieving equilibrium is FEAR. All small fears resolve themselves, ultimately, into the Fear of Death. Dissolving the fear of death is a primary goal of practicing the Mystical Qabalah and becoming equilibrated.
As we work with Mystical Qabalistic methods, all realms (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical) transform at the same time, concurrently. Mystic experiences become more and more fully realized as the Etheric/Astral body is mastered. And as consciousness is expanded, so the fear of death becomes a hollow sounding, then fades into silence, then disappears, for the student has recognized Truth: life is all that was, all that is, and all that ever will be.
But to get there from here takes a lot of practical work in the physical, emotional, and mental realms, for the strong veils of the 5 senses must be penetrated and made to align with Truth7. The strength of Fear [-] must be equilibrated with the strength of Peace [+], first in the mental realm, then the emotional realm, then, finally, imprinted into the physical body’s cellular structure, where Peace becomes a permanent resident. Thus are we called Equilibrated – a true Middle Pillar.
Equilibration is a physiological process of clearing the negativity and toxins from all the bodies so the Chakra’s are open and receptive to the Kundalini rising through them. When the kundalini penetrates and connects with the Sutratma in the brain, the Light of the Soul shines through the physical body.
The Holy Qabalah addresses this purification process from a spiritual point of view, working to clear and balance all the bodies of the human being in order to facilitate a natural rising of the Kundalini.
Called “The Yoga8 of the West”, Holy Qabalah is the natural path for western cultures to take in their aspiration for Enlightenment. Once a student starts in earnest, combining intention and determination, propelled by Will -- as well as associating with others of like mind -- the interior mystical practices themselves evolve and individualize. They become more and more guided by the Higher Self. Thus the individual evolves into ever finer frequencies of positive vibration until the physical flesh is electromagnetically balanced within a range.
A teacher can only point the way, guide the direction, present the information. The student must practice some kind of deep contemplation which puts the lessons to the test and checks out the validity of the teachings. Every individual being is a separate spark of the Divine, and grows and learns in individual ways. The Holy Qabalah is a Path that guides one Within to discover individual Truth and point the Way to Enlightenment. Practicing the Qabalah requires the practitioner to have a particular state of mind, a contemplative state of being, a willingness to arrange their material life so that sufficient time and silence is available to allow the Divine to surface from within.
THE WESTERN MYSTERY TRADITION – ROOTS
THE QABALISTIC TRADITION has its roots in the original Hebraic mysticism that arose among the nomadic starworshippers of Chaldea where Abraham “heard” the voice of God. Generation after generation the princes of Israel danced with the priest-kings of Egypt and absorbed the Hermetic Mysteries and the Tyrian Mysteries, so the wisdom of the Egyptian Magi must have been accessible to the Hebrew illuminati. King Solomon’s builder of the Temple9 is called “Hiram”, which is another name for Hermes, Mercury, Toth, and Hermes Trismegistus. Association of gods and humans can only take place in the Etheric Realm, for it is said that Angels would have to take on human form in order to communicate with humanity. From the other side, humans must take on “angelic” form to communicate with angels, which is to send the mind into the etheric realms.
Legend has it that Abraham “received” the Sepher Yetzirah from the Archangel Metatron10, or Ratziel11, and it was passed down in the oral tradition. When Moses “received” the Torah, Law, in 5 books, it is said the Kabbalah of the oral tradition was the 6th book, that remained unwritten, and is the key to understanding the first 5 books. The 6th book is now written as the Sepher Yetzirah: The Book of Creation.
It is the key to understanding the mystical interpretation of The Old Testament, and Genesis especially. Hebrew adepts have revealed that Genesis is actually a handbook to learn how to meditate and reach the deepest/highest planes of consciousness. The Sepher Yetzirah explains that Genesis constructs the Tree of Life for human meditational purposes. Through the original Aramaic and Hebrew, we find that Moses did not go ON the mountain, but INTO it, which is a euphemism for going into meditation.

The first lines of the Genesis creation story can also be understood to say: "With beginningness, IT created God, the heavens and the earth." Here we must understand that we have absolutely NO ability to understand the first thing about the Ain Soph Aur, which is the IT. But we can understand, vaguely, and interact remotely, with the concept of God at the level of Chokmah, Wisdom, which is a reflection of the first emanation of the Ain Soph Aur, known as Kether, the Crown. |
AND HE CREATED HIS UNIVERSE WITH THREE BOOKS (Sepharim)
WITH NUMBER (Sephar) THE 10 SEPHIROTHThe Sepher Yetzirah says that God created the universe with positive, negative and neutral forces and all that the 3 pillars on the Tree of Life confer.WITH TEXT (Sepher) The 22 HEBREW LETTERS
Number is plurality. More than one includes the ability to tell the difference between one and another - delineation - and all that the 10 sephiroth on the Tree of Life mean.
Letters are sound, vibration, and definition of the form.AND WITH COMMUNICATION (Sippur)
The 22 Hebrew letters correspond to the 22 aspects of human personality, modes of being, or subjective states of consciousness in the individual, from animal body consciousness to spiritual consciousness.
Communication is created as a result of the first three: force, plurality, vibration, and communication between the 3 results in potential creation in the consciousness of humankind.So that's how the Western Mystery Tradition came into being – with Abraham and the oral tradition, Moses and the written Torah – law, with oral tradition to help interpret. Humankind has evolved over the last 6000 years and the oral mysteries are now published in highly disguised and figurative language, so that those who do not meditate cannot fathom the powerful secrets and make ill use of them.
Around 1390 AD Tarot keys appeared in France, migrating from India and China. About 1400, legend has it, during the Inquisition, Adepts met and decided to use the Hebrew language and meditated to "receive" universal picture symbology in order to preserve the mysteries from the fire. Thus, the Holy Tarot is drawn from what later was designated the Jungian Collective Unconscious, and speaks directly to the subconscious mind of every human in the world.
These KEYS to understanding human psychology and making adjustments toward equilibration were designed around the Hebrew letters and reflect their meaning. The Sepher Yetzirah reports that God assigned these letters to paths between the Holy Sephiroth. The Hermetic influence from Egypt, the Vedic influence from India, the Christian influence from the early church, and the Buddhist influence from the Far East have placed pictures, KEYS, with the Hebrew letters and called them:
TAROT
| TORA - Law | ROTA - Wheel |
Even today, the Hebrew tradition keeps the Torah in one continuous book, written in black from front to end, as Moses is said to have received it from God.
ALL AGREE THAT THE BIBLE IS A TRANSMISSION FROM THE DIVINE SOURCE, AS IS THE SEPHER YETZIRAH, WHICH TRANSMITS THE HOLY QABALAH; as is the KORAN of ISLAM, UPON WHICH THE SUFI TRADITION IS FOUNDED; as are the UPANISHADS and VEDAS of the HINDU tradition, upon which all Indian Mysticism is founded. BUDDHISM is mystic in its very nature, not participating in dualistic theology.If we study the many mystical systems of comparative religion we find that all the illuminati agree upon one point: Their system was received from beings of another order of creation than humanity.
All men and women who have had practical experience of a deep spiritual life
testify that they were taught by Divine Beings.
QABALAH: TO RECEIVETo “receive” implies that there is a constant transmission available in the universe if we learn how to tune in to its frequency12. For instance, if the TV has a Qabalah channel with the infinity sign ∞ as its call letter, when we tune in we see everything around us with a new perspective, and the view changes our relationship with the world and with ourselves, and we will probably never turn to another TV channel again. INFINITE AWARENESS CHANNEL
Qabalistic Principle: AWARENESS is viewed as the purest form of light and all of creation is viewed as a vessel.
The shape and strength of a vessel will determine how much light it can hold. Moreover, because the light of awareness is infinite, every vessel holds its maximum capacity at all times.
KEY QABALISTIC TEACHING: We cannot add more light to go beyond a vessel's capacity. Rather, we must work on the vessel itself, clean, repair and strengthen the vessel, and the light will automatically fill it to its maximum capacity.
For human beings, our bodies, minds and emotions are the vessel
for the Light of the Soul.
The Secret of Spiritual Development, according to the Qabalists, is to mend, repair, clear, clean, purify and refine our bodies, minds and emotions, and the Soul will automatically benefit with greater light, becoming even more receptive and open to the nuances and depths of Qabalistic Wisdom.To strengthen the vessel of your being through the Mystical approach to Spiritual Development, you must accept that there are things happening that go beyond your five senses; that there are things happening in other realities, and all we need to do is learn how to attune to these other realities. And we do this tuning through performing the necessary rites to encourage Mystical Experiences to happen.
MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE or INSIGHT is anything that we experience that takes us out of our regular awareness of the past and the future, and brings us completely into the moment where there is no sense of time. That’s a Mystical Experience. And we have them all the time.
From a simple uplifting of the heart when we see a beautiful flower, sunset, or our beloved, to a more intense “loss of time” during a creative effort like painting or writing or playing music.
More intense mystical experiences happen during times of great stress, illness, death/dying – when time disappears and we make a connection with some unknown world that profoundly touches our hearts, or recognize a universal Truth that unites us with others.
Then there’s the even more intense and unforgettable experience when a connection is made with some Thing, some Where that transcends our normal reality and may involve “seeing” or “hearing” alternate awarenesses.
BIG TRANSFORMATIVE occurrences happen and our lives are altered forever, irrevocably transformed from that time forward. We are never the same. Our personalities, desires, will – all aspects that make us who we are – all are changed in an instant.
WE CANNOT PREDICT when mystical experiences will happen, but we can enhance the potential for being in the frame of mind and being receptive enough so that we are much more aware of the smaller mystical experiences when they occur, which is all the time. And we can enhance the possibilities for having the bigger experiences just by allowing ourselves to be present in the moment as often as possible.
THE PRACTICE OF THE AWARENESS OF THE MOMENT
LISTEN AND BE PRESENT
ACCESS THE PRESENT BY PRACTICING SILENCE AND LISTENING
The greatest teacher really does speak from within when enough time and space is given to allow its voice to be heard. A PATH – a TRADITION – that is tried and proven, is a necessary discipline for those who aspire to lift themselves, and thereby lift all of humanity.And all of humanity is on one evolutionary path or another, conscious or not, aware or not, willfully working toward the goal or not. According to the Qabalah, to Hermetic Philosophy, to Mystic Christianity, to Esoteric Buddhism, to the Sufis of Islam, to the Hindu Mystics – all mystical traditions have the same goal:
REACHING THE ONE ULTIMATE DIVINE REALITY CALLED BY MANY NAMES:
So. How do we get there from here? How do we bridge the abyss between the flesh and the spirit to access Spiritual Consciousness? How do we makes ourselves open enough to reach the etheric heights where we communicate with Higher Beings?Buddha Mind; Unborn; Ain Soph Aur; Infinite Nothingness; Limitless Light; The One; The All; God Consciousness; Enlightenment; Nirvana; Samhadi
