In this class we present a Hasidic Psycho-Spiritual reading of the Ten Sefirot, the Tree of Life, as a schema for understating Reality, the Self, and God, the Mind of the Cosmos as one. Discover How God Creates the World according to Kabbalah and Kabbalah’s Key to Mastering the Middle Path of the Great Chain of Being (Seder Hishtalshelut).
Bringing the vague, obscure and arcane mysteries of ancient thought into clear exposition and contemporary application.
