March 19 Seven Stages of Death
This lesson you walk the Middle Road. You are on your way to the Sphere of the Sun. On this Middle Road you are guided by angels who help you to climb this steep path. This is one of the most beautiful roads on the Tree of Life. While you climb Jacob's Ladder you now start to profit from this raising spiritual energy. In short flashes you will get lit by shining clouds of divine energy.
The Sages of Old had a totally different view upon death than we have. They regarded Death as being born in Heaven. The spiritual development causes a rising Kundalini-power. This causes the so called 'Spiritual Delights'. These Delights were seen as a forerunner of the Exaltation of the Spirit that happens in the process of dying. This ecstasy they regarded as the vestibule of Heaven. On the path from Malkuth to Hod we met the Holy Cobra, the ancient symbol of raising Magical Power. On this path the Vulture appears. She was also called Bird mother. She takes you upon her flight to the Kingdom above the clouds.
April 23 Tiphareth: The Birth of the Priest King
May 28 Tiphareth: The Fisher King
June 18 Tiphareth: The Child, the King and the Sacrificed God
The three lessons of the Sephirah Tiphareth form the exact middle of the Tree of Life and they are the part that bring all the different energies together in harmony. The Sphere is located exactly between Malkuth and Kether. Tiphareth is in the center of the Middle Pillar, between the Male and the Female Pillar of the Tree of Life. When you ascend the Tree like in our course, you have accomplished some intensive work in the past months. All these energies are balanced again in the Sphere of the Sun.
Who are the Child, the King and the Sacrificed God. What is the name of the Land over which this king is King? What is the 'Wounded Land', and what exactly is the 'Kingdom of God on Earth?' When we have balanced these energies within ourselves we consecrate our inner temple and make ourselves ready for the descend of the Solar Teardrop.
