Rabbi David Ingber – The Way of Kabbalah Advanced Program
A Holistic Path for the 21st Century
Kabbalah offers a uniquely integrated, holistic pathway to spiritual growth — from deep wisdom and healing insights to practical advice for evolving our world.
It’s about aligning your energy with the deeper structure of the universe and seeing your life through the lens of the “Sephirot” — 10 spheres that represent a kind of “energetic anatomy” of the universe.
In the teaching of Kabbalah, you’re a microcosm of the Cosmos, where G-d is continually incarnating, healing and evolving… a unique expression of the Divine in motion. Through this sacred wisdom you can become fully radiant and alive.
For centuries, these Jewish mysteries were withheld from even observant and committed Jews, and only recently taught outside of the Jewish faith.
We’re now blessed to be able to understand, practice and apply this powerful path in a modern, global context — one in which serious seekers of wisdom have the chance to develop the “divine eyes” that the ten Sefirot represents.
Each of these spheres is a prism through which to view part of the universe and your role in it. They offer qualities of being that allows you to relate to the world from a stance of wholeness and balance, choosing just the right qualities to harmonize opposing energies and polarizing interactions.
During this powerful program, you’ll:
Understand the deep principles of magic and work with the vibratory patterns of the universe through language, number and sound
Learn the letters of the Hebrew Alpha-Bet, one of the oldest, most powerful vibrational tools for transforming consciousness
Use the 22 letters to circulate energy through the body and energetic system
Receive the advanced foundations to understanding the Tree of Life and 10 Sefirot, and relate to Kabbalah as a spiritual practice
Discover the Bible from a Kabbalist perspective, uncovering the deepest layer of meaning and interpretation
Practice specific yichudim to unite Masculine and Feminine energies
Discover how to balance different energies in your being when engaging with your family, work and other worldly activities
Identify your unique soul mission — and your lessons in this lifetime
Learn the 6 words of a blessing practice that can become a daily spiritual journey
Explore the Kabbalistic Creation myth — from the Constriction to the Breaking of the Vessels to the Rectification of the Vessels
Learn the Sod Ha’Keruvim, the Mystery of the Cherubs, a language for enlightened love and living
Deepen the profound journey of Tikkun Olam
Learn more about the meditative, magical and philosophical schools of Kabbalah
Understand how to be in effective energetic action in the world, based on understanding endurance and surrender, and pushing and pulling.
Discover the mystery of Tzimtzum — and the power and application of creative constriction (rather than expansion)
Learn the practices used by centuries of Kabbalists to “release sparks of Divine Light”
Discover a deeper understanding of non-dual consciousness
And much, much more!
What You’ll Discover in This Journey
Course sessions are on Thursdays at 5:00pm Pacific from February 9 to August 10, 2017.
In this 6-month transformational program, David will guide you through more advanced spiritual skills and competencies that you’ll need to successfully understand the core teachings of Kabbalah and to work effectively with the Tree of Life and the 32 paths of wisdom, as well as apply specific practices in your daily life.
Each weekly, LIVE contemplation and training session will build harmoniously upon the next so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to sustain your awakened heart and mind and walk in the world.
The course sessions will take place weekly with an integration week approximately every fourth week where there will not be a live course session. We are offering these integration weeks throughout the course to provide time and space for you to absorb the richness of the teachings and deepen the practices you’ve learned thus far so you can confidently move forward to build your complete understanding of the advanced Kabbalistic practices.
Note: If you have not experienced Rabbi David’s Kabbalah teachings before, you are welcome in this advanced training but we ask you to learn (on your own) from the foundational The Way of Kabbalah 7-module course, a prerequisite included in your registration.
Module 1: Abracadabra
Working With the Magic & Power of the Hebrew Alphabet (3 Sessions)
A key foundation of Kabbalah is a deeper understanding of the power of language, which connects us to the subtle structure of the universe. By becoming aware of the specific meaning and creative power represented by letters in the Hebrew alphabet, you open to a relationship with the the manifesting power of words, which are the bridge between our consciousness and the material world. When the Bible says, “In the beginning was the Word,” it’s speaking to the primary world-shaping power of language.
In this module, you’ll:
Learn the letters of the Hebrew Alpha-Bet, one of the oldest and most powerful vibrational tools for transforming consciousness
Study the shape, meaning, name and number of each letter, understanding how language creates reality
Practice the sound, breathing, and quality of each of the letters, learning the unique meditation practice associated with combining these building blocks of Creation
Practice using the letters to circulate energy through the body and energetic system
Explore the mysterious meaning of the Book of Formation, or Sefer Yetzirah, a 3rd century treatise on the magical power of Hebrew Letters
Understand words as the creation of multiple seed letters and sounds, each of which combine for the full meaning
Module 2: Walking the 32 Paths of Wisdom (3 Sessions)
The ten Sephirot combine with the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet to create 32 paths of Wisdom. In Kabbalah, walking one path alone does not lead to wisdom. Yet, fully embracing and balancing all of these wisdom paths brings real maturity, growth and healing.
In this module, you’ll:
Explore the connection between each of the Sefirot and the letter associated with that energy
Learn how to combine letters for healing, for self-awareness and empowerment
Practice the ancient meditative technique of the “231 Gates,” combining breath, movement and sound
Read the Bible with the eyes of a Kabbalist, uncovering the deepest layer of meaning
Discover the meaning of the most powerful Divine Names in the Jewish tradition and related chants that infuse your being with these sacred qualities
Choose a Hebrew name and discover how to embody it
Module 3: The Spiral Path
Unifying Masculine & Feminine (3 Sessions)
In many mystical lineages, the sacred union of masculine and feminine is at the very heart of reality. Kabbalah builds upon the core notion of opposing energies and wholeness, creating something akin to Western Tantra. The very fabric of reality is revealed by the higher union of masculine and feminine in a dance of polarities rather than the war of opposites.
In this module, you’ll:
Receive the archetypal images and stories that form the basic structure of Kabbalistic Tantra
Practice specific yichudim, unifications to bring about inner union of Masculine and Feminine energies
Learn the Sod Ha’Keruvim, the Mystery of the Cherubs, a language for enlightened love and living
Cosmic Union and the Divine Love Triangle: how we bring the Messianic Consciousness in everything we do
Explore the concept of SoulMate or Zivug and Attracting the Teacher
Deepen your understanding of the practice of Shabbat and how to rest in the embrace of the Beloved
Module 4: The Unification of Energies
Lights, Vessels & Healing (3 Sessions)
Just as white light can be broken down into its component colors, the undifferentiated light of the Divine can be divided into qualities of life, represented in the vessels of the Tree of Life.
Engaging in the work of Kabbalah with our body, mind and soul activates different frequencies of light in our consciousness, healing the vessels — or energetic containers — through which our soul incarnates.
In this module, you’ll:
Learn the Laws of Light and Vessels: How does the Infinite Light make itself known to us?
Explore questions such as How do Vessels or Containers behave ?What makes a Vessel strong or weak? andHow do we strengthen our Vessels?
Learn the Kabbalistic Creation myth — from the Constriction to the Breaking of the Vessels to the Rectification of the Vessels
Practice the Art of Vessel Repair, learning the tools to identify and test the power of vessels and how to reconstruct them when they break
Study the meditative techniques of the Chassidic Masters for D’vaykut, or clinging to G-d
Module 5: The Soul’s Evolution Through Time (3 Sessions)
Kabbalah has profound teachings about the nature of the soul’s journey over multiple lifetimes. Largely unrecognized within traditional Kabbalah teachings, multiple incarnations of the soul allow us to work on developing all the 32 paths of wisdom over many lifetimes.
In this module, you’ll:
Identify your unique soul mission and the lessons of this lifetime, and why
Study the rich imagery and powerful understanding of Soul Cycles as taught by the Lurianic School of Kabbalah
Explore different soul adhesions (dybbuks) or soul gestations (ibbur)
Learn to identify basic Soul Constellations and how they impact your choice of family, partner and work
Practice using the Tree of Life, the 32 Path of Wisdom to release past-life patterns
Module 6: Repairing the World
Tikkun Olam (3 Sessions)
In the Kabbalah of Rabbi Isaac Luria, the primordial lights of Creation were too intense for the earliest vessels and the vessels broke. This shattering, or “breaking of the vessels” was a cataclysmic event, alluded to in the Bible and hinted at in the Zohar but not fully expressed until the 16th Century.
This shattering serves as the background for all human life and specifically, the work of the Kabbalist whose job is to discover the light hidden in the broken, material world. Locating sparks of light and releasing them is called Tikkun.
In this module, you’ll:
Study the underlying mythological background of this profound Kabbalistic assertion
Receive the practices used by centuries of Kabbalists to “release sparks of Divine Light,” becoming an adept at light location
Explore the implications of this mystical approach on our everyday life
Learn what to do with the “shells,” that hide the inner Spark of Divinity
Apply these concepts to social meditation and evolution so that we can create Cosmic Tikkun
Module 7: The Practice of Blessing
The Mundane Mandala of Mystical Mind (3 Sessions)
Traditional Jewish practice prescribes the practitioner to “bless 100 times a day.” This blessing practice forms the centerpiece of daily spiritual and religious observance and is sometimes referred to as “normal mysticism.”
There are six words of blessing at the heart of this sacred practice. Instead of just blessing food or offering morning or evening prayers, a Kabbalist sees life as an opportunity for blessing everyone and everything, creating an elevated field of consciousness throughout the day.
In this module, you’ll:
Learn the deeper meaning behind the 6 words that comprise the essence of blessing practice
Study the powerful hidden message of the Blessing Formula, revealing the Four Faces of the Divine
Practice the mantra and chant received for this daily, moment-to-moment Blessing Formula
Explore and deepen an awareness of the connection between word, letter, sound embedded in this ancient practice
