Beginning Here and Now: Introduction to Kabbalah

A basic explanation of the Tree of Life, the Kabbalah, which is a map of the universe and the consciousness. Lecture quote: "The word קבלה Kabbalah comes from the word קבל Kabel in Hebrew, which means "to receive." This is because real Kabbalah is received through experience in the consciousness. In this very moment you are receiving the knowledge with your intellect. But you have to understand that in order to make that information into real Kabbalah, you have to make effort to awaken your consciousness. By experiencing the Kabbalah in yourself, you will understand many secrets, many questions.  Kabbalah, the mysterious Tree of Life, is related with the universe. It is in the superior worlds, and you can learn it through initiation, the development of your consciousness."
