Kabbalah-of-the-Golden-Dawn-Pat-Zalewski - D Ank Unlimited

FOREWORD
All seekers on the path begin with questions such as "Who am I?" "Why
am I here?" "What is the purpose of life?" Eventually, from a deeper level
of consciousness, comes an answer, "perhaps it is to attain knowledge and
wisdom" ... direct knowledge about your own nature, the purpose of the
world you live in and its relationship to God and Man.
If you have asked yourself these questions, perhaps the Kabalah will
present you with answers and additional challenges as you travel the
pathways to your ultimate goal. It is a tradition that is concerned with the
transmission of the knowledge you seek. It is a most profound and effective
system of esoteric training when applied in a practical approach.
This system of relationships among mystical symbols is used to open
access to hidden parts of the mind, beyond reason; to learn the inner
nature of man, the inner reality or essence of things. We determine this
inner meaning based upon observance of the outer.
In a more practical way, we are using the techniques and principles
of Kabbalah as calisthenics of consciousness; to develop the power of the
mind, to realize conscious energy, to reduce the Earth plane to order and
harmony, to live in this world, continually evolving toward the light.
Heaven is a state of consciousness and our purpose is to be more than
what we are today, to have an experience that transcends "our ordering
self-awareness."
The Golden Dawn System of Magic is based on Kabalistic theory.
The discipline and perseverance required in the pursuit of these studies in
actuality rival those of the Eastern Yogic tradition.
Westerners, who in general require more active participation on
their pathway of evolution, will find this approach more suited to their
