THE FILM: The
Mahabharata is a 1989 film version of the Indian epic, Mahabharata,
directed by Peter Brook. Brook's original 1985 stage play was 9
hours long, and toured around the world for four years. In 1989,
it was reduced to under 6 hours for television (TV mini series).
Later it was also reduced to about 3 hours for theatrical and DVD
release. The screenplay was the result of eight years work by Peter
Brook, Jean-Claude Carrière and Marie-Hélène Estienne. For the casting
an international selection of actors was intentionally chosen, to
show that the nature of the Indian epic is the story of all humanity.

KABBALAH STUDIES PROGRAM:
"PATHWORKING ON THE TREE OF LIFE" and DEREKH ERETZ, "THE WAY OF
THE EARTH."
A Twelve week Introductory program
Kabbalah is a profound system of esoteric Jewish
and Hermetic spiritual knowledge and training. It is said to be
the most ancient wisdom given by God to man as a vehicle to attain
mystical insight and luminous understanding.
Once restricted to secret societies and initiates
of the Rabbinic schools of Kabbalah and Western mystery schools,
it is now available to all those who seek to journey on a higher
path. In this intensive program we will study both the theory of
Kabbalah and its meditative practices.
To travel to the higher worlds of the Kabbalistic
Universe to that place where there is no division between the waters
below and the waters above, we begin with the foundation of the
firmament between the waters. Thus, we will learn Derekh Eretz "The
Way of the Earth." Here is what Dr. Alkalay has said about this
part of the program: "There are many teachings today that promise
to take us to the stars, that is, to make us gods. In the teachings
of Derekh Eretz we discover the fundamentals of being good human
beings. This may ultimately prove to be more challenging and more
difficult a path than that of becoming gods. In any event, I would
feel quite uncomfortable around a group of gods who had never mastered
the basics of being good human beings."
We will explore the fundamental concepts of the
Kabbalistic worldview such as:
- Human will and Divine Will.
- The roots of reality. The levels of form and
substance.
- The four worlds of emanation, creation, formation,
and making.
- The Tree of Life - the sephirot and the twenty-two
paths.
- The concept of good and evil.
In our journey toward our own humanity we will explore
such concepts as:
- The Universal Duties of Mankind
- To Honor, Protect, and Preserve
- To Whom Does the Earth Belong?
- Whose Life is it Anyway?
- The Work Ethic
- Maintaining the World
- Perfecting the World
- Redemption
- The Search for Kosher Hedonism
- Nature and Grace
- The Test of the Sabbath
- Renewing or Completing the Holy Scriptures
When:
Tuesdays 4:30-5:30pm.
Course Fee: $120
