The Kabbalah, Part 3

May 4, 2015

[In this Part of my series of Kabbalah articles, I will begin to consider the 10 (or 11 with the inclusion of Da’at) Sephirot, their genesis within the Four World schema, and their functions as Divine vessels and archetypal energies. In Part 4, I will continue this consideration.]

According to conventional Kabbalah, the 10 Sephirot shine in each of the four emanated Worlds – Atziluth, Beri’ah, Yetzirah, and Assiah. While this may be true, I contend that the Four Worlds pertain to the universe, whereas the Sephirot apply only to our solar system. Moreover, I maintain that the traditional keyword descriptions of each Sephirah (Keter/Divine Crown), Da’at/Knowledge, Hokhmah/Wisdom, Binah/Understanding, Chesed/Mercy, Gevurah/Strength, Tif’eret/Beauty Hod/Glory, Netzah/Victory, Yesod/ Foundation, Malkhut/Kingship) are anthropomorphic and therefore delimit these emanations to humans. Furthermore, I consider these traditional keyword descriptions grossly reductive, not at all representative of what each Sephirah is truly about.… Read the full article

The Kabbalah, Part 2

April 20, 2015

In this article, Part 2 of my informal Kabbalah/Qabalah series, I will begin to consider the cosmological-theosophical Kabbalah/Qabalah. I will begin with the Four Worlds (Atziluth, Ber’iah, Yetzirah, Assiah), which, if Adam Kadmon is included, become Five. Directly below my consideration is the Wikipedia.org description of the Four Worlds. I’m not going to elaborate on this description (which I posted for base reference and contrast); rather, I’m going to present my own unique (Kashmir Shaivism/Vedanta-influenced) vision of the Four (or Five) Worlds. In Part 3, I will consider the 10 sephirot.

The Four (or Five) Worlds spring forth from Ain Soph Aur, which is tantamount to Hindu Siva-Shakti. “Ain” means No-thing, not Nothingness. In other words, God is not a created "thing" or object; He is the uncreated “Thing” Itself -- the Absolute -- limitless Conscious Light. The universe was not created ex nihilo, because something cannot come from nothing; rather it derives from God’s “Substance," Conscious Light.… Read the full article

The Kabbalah, Part 1

April 14, 2015
In this informal series, I’m going to consider the Kabbalah/Qabalah from different angles. In this Part, I’ll focus on the mystical Kabbalah, meaning the Kabbalah associated with receiving the Supernal Influx, the “Rauch Ha-Kodesh,” or Holy Spirit.

The word Kabbalah means “to receive,” or more completely, “to face, or relate to, and receive.” The epitome of mysticism is to commune with (or relate to) and receive the Holy Spirit until one’s soul permanently unites... with it. Hence the mystical Kabbalah represents pure, or true, mysticism.


Unfortunately, Jewish mysticism does not provide explicit instructions on how to directly, immediately connect to, channel, and unite with the Holy Spirit. Anyone interested in how to do so should consult my books and/or articles (available at integralspiritualmeditation.com).

From my perspective, the practice of the mystical Kabbalah of Judaism is the same practice as the Christian mystical Eucharist, Tibetan Dzogchen (the “Great Perfection”), and Hindu Kashmir Shaivism’s Sambhavopaya (or “Divine Means”), and Adi Da’s Daism (or “radical understanding” and Divine Communion).… Read the full article

Electrical Kundalini, Part 2

April 12, 2015

[Note: This is an excerpt from my book "Electrical Christianity: A Revolutionary Guide to Jesus' Teachings and Spiritual Enlightenment."]

Q: Can you explain the entire electrical en-Light-enment process relative to the body? You’ve described the descending and ascending currents, but I’m still not clear on how they relate to Light. All you’ve talked about are currents.

A: Again, this is provisional and basic, not definitive and detailed. It’s based on my own spiritual experience, what I’ve read, and speculation. In the future, I expect great yogi-scientists to devote their lives to demystifying the physics and superphysics involved in the “en-Light-enment of the whole body” process. But for now, I hope my undeveloped thesis proves somewhat “enlightening.”

When I view the body from an electrical spiritual perspective, I think of the Heart-center (or Soul-locus) as the source, or “battery,” of a circuit, with the ascending and descending currents passing through, and infinitely beyond, the brain.… Read the full article

Electrical Kundalini, Part 1

April 7, 2015
[This is excerpt from my book "Electrical Christianity: A Revolutionary Guide to Jesus' Teachings and Spiritual Enlightenment." I will post Part 2 within a week.]

Q: Can you elaborate more on electrical religion and explain the energetic process of en-Light-enment?

A: First, a disclaimer: I have not cut the Sacred (or Mystic) Heart-knot, and thus I am not fully en-Light-ened. Consequently, my explanation will be provisional, not definitive. Nonetheless, I am a very advanced meditator, and I regularly rest in, and as, the Heart (or Christ Self) for protracted periods, and constantly channel intense Shakti, or Spirit Power.

Furthermore, I am blessed/cursed with an ultra-sensitive psycho-physical vehicle that deeply feels, and enjoys/suffers, the effects of this electrical-like spiritual, or Kundalini, Energy. Therefore, I am able to describe this process as few others can. If I weren’t able to feel this Power (or Energy) and its Ohm’s Law (or electric-current)-like relationship to Presence (or Consciousness) and Poverty (or self-emptying), I wouldn’t have been able to originate and develop my Electrical Spiritual Paradigm.… Read the full article
