Exploring the Tree of Life an Introduction to Kabbalah
Free Lecture by Theresa Bullard, Ph.D.
Thurs., April 17, 7-8:30 pm
The Universal Kabbalah, meaning “to receive” or “that which is received,” serves as a simple system of understanding yourself & of reconnecting to the Divine spirit and the Divine essence within. Passed down through the ancient mystical traditions yet independent from any specific religion, it helps you answer all the important questions that you need to ask in life, and it acts as the most powerful tool on the planet for manifestation, self-discovery, and empowerment.
In this experiential lecture Dr. Theresa Bullard will reveal the concepts of the Kabbalah that raise the fundamental vibration within the human soul, and bring it through the transformations of the alchemical phases of Nigredo (Black Phase) to Rubedo (Red Phase). This helps us to harness and complete the perfection of Adam Kadmon, the divine state of human being, long sought after by Kabbalists and Alchemists. In the ancient texts, Kabbalah is described as the "Mind of the Great Work" or the "Mind of God". These are the essential teachings that make the Philosophers Stone work and help each of us become the "Adam Kadmon," the perfected being who can return the human race to the Garden of Eden or Heaven on Earth. Kabbalists are dedicated to this basic teaching and seek to make themselves examples of its potential. Dr. Bullard will guide you through the first steps of this process and provide the fundamental tools that work for both the layman as well as those who are advanced on the path. You will learn traditional workings such as Kabbalistic Rituals, Mantra Meditation, Techniques of Hermetic Alchemy, and more. Special exercises will be introduced so participants can directly experience the Seven Rays of the Tree of Life and gain a deeper appreciation of the ancient alchemy of the Kabbalah.

CLASS DESCRIPTION
The Universal Kabbalah is a simple system of understanding yourself and of reconnecting with God and the God essence within. By awakening energies, creating thought patterns of pure manifestation, and opening the gates of the soul, Kabbalah will help you answer all the important questions that you need to ask in life. It is the most powerful tool on the planet for manifestation, self-discovery, and empowerment. This efficient, expansive, and integrative system will take you as far as you want to go with it, enhancing all aspects of your life and helping you become more fulfilled, abundant, balanced, and alive! Through the use of archetypal principles, the study of Kabbalah reveals the profound mystery of human purpose. With this you come to the realization of who and what you are, fulfilling the ancient decree: Know Thyself!
The Universal Kabbalah has come to us from the Ancient of times and indeed has been with us from the beginning of human history on this planet. The Universal Kabbalah is pure in the sense that it is free of dogma. Kabbalah means to hand down or to receive. It is the tradition of having knowledge handed down to us from a higher source, such as God. Through practical techniques handed down from teacher to student, the spiritual unfoldment of the individual is realized.
Deciphering the ancient sacred geometric glyph of the Tree of Life, Kabbalah moves us into a new way of thinking, opening gates to hidden dimensions of understanding and awareness. This glyph is comprised of ten spheres (Sephiroth) of influence, which represent the map of the universe, including all aspects of God, and a map of the Self. The Tree of Life is the DNA and it is truly the instruction manual for life. In ascending the Tree, the blueprint of life itself is explained and influenced so that we can fully transform ourselves inside and out.
The Kabbalah is a system for expanding our consciousness and awareness and for accelerating our growth. This system is based on the fact that knowledge about all things and the answers to all questions are to be found within each of us. The most important thing to living a fulfilled life is to be able to find and ask the correct questions.
The Kabbalah will help you answer these very important questions:
Who am I?
What am I?
Where did I come from?
Where am I going?
What is my purpose?
