Here's a
great road map for life...
"As
human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world
-- that is the myth of the atomic age -- as in being able to remake ourselves."
~ ohandas

We are often asked, "What is your favourite book? What book best overviews your
philosophy of life?" For me (John) that book is 'The Living Qabalah' by Will
Parfitt.
In my view, the Qabalah - the tree of life - presents one of the most complete
models of life, growth and change. Based on Jewish tradition it describes how we
grow through life, through relationships, through crisis. It takes into account
if we are more mentally or emotionally biased. It defines how to change, grow
and create in small progressive steps.
This book is about consciousness and our experience of the play of the energies
as they move both upwards and downwards.
We experience the energies rising as we become increasingly aware and as we
aspire to higher guidance. On this upward journey through the tree of life, we
move out of our materialism, emotional reactions and limited unconscious
thinking into a more loving, impersonal, spiritual state. This journey explains
how we progressively experience new depth, peace, truth and beauty in life.
At the same time, energies shift downward through the tree of life when the more
conceptual, creative, abstract, qualitative energies of creation are grounded
into denser energies of thought, feelings and behaviours and finally into form.
The journey downwards addresses how we create and attract what we want and need
in life.
If you have some free time over the holidays, consider spending it with 'The
Living Qabalah.' Explore the true game of life, why you are here and where you
are in your journey. It helps us understand who we are as a personality with its
ego and subconscious mind, who we are as a spiritual being or soul and who we
all are as part of spirit.
This is life's journey and out of it comes the fundamental rules of how life
works, how we fit in, how we interact with others and how we grow and change. It
applies to every facet of life and at all levels - not only to our life as a
whole but to our small daily encounters too.
Wouldn't you appreciate a bigger picture of life? We could describe the change
with a metaphor from chess. Imagine moving from being a front line pawn with its
limited capacity to being the Queen who holds power, vision and control over the
whole chess board. Which position would you choose?
"For a conscious person, to exist is to change, to change is to
mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly."
~ Henri
Bergson ~
