KABALÁH: A PORTAL TO SELF-KNOWLEDGE AND ENLIGHTENMENT

By Francisco Ascanio

In Antiquity, the Alexandria Lighthouse had the function of guiding the navigators who wanted to learn to be able to serve. In the humanity of today the same function fulfills the Kabalistic Tree of Life, because it corrects an anomaly denounced by Albert Einstein: "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant, we have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift". Intuition can not be forced by the will, but it can be trained and the means used by esotericism is the symbol, which is why it is recognized as "the language of the soul".The role of the Tree of Life as a guiding light lies in the fact that its contemplation strongly activates the gift of intuition, putting reason in direct contact with a universal wisdom that is there for us to use. The difference between rational thought and that of reason assisted with the gift of intuition, a wise person summed it up like this: "Those who search with their heads are given to know the questions. Those who search with their heads and with their hearts are made aware of the questions and answers. "In Kabalah, the universal wisdom is the 32 Paths of Wisdom in which God engraved his name and with which he formed the universe. Such paths constitute the Tree of Life and we, using it, can train intuition to become aware of: the universe, as a result of a process in which the ideas of God become matter; of the attributes of the Creator; of what we really are, where two natures are combined: divine and human.The raw material of the contents of the book, come from the teachings that Francisco Ascanio received from Builders of the Adytum, kabalistic order where he was started in the Minor Mysteries, to which are added the knowledge received by intuition, fruit of meditations and reflections focused on the Tree of Life over the past thirty-three years. Due to the intuitive capture, in the book there are approaches that are novel, some because they differ from those held in most books on Kabalah and others for being reformulations of theories and basic ideas, in addition to symbolic representations created by the author of the book.THE AUTHORHe was born in Caracas, Venezuela, in October 1943.
