This is actually a very good lecture. I recently met Brian through some online classes and he shared this video to us. He is such a kind gentle soul with a deep understanding of a vast array of many different esoteric subject. Brian if you see this comment I love and appreciate you 🫶🙏
It feels good to read books and study to the point that I’m able to finish what the lecturer is saying. Like my reading and research is paying off and I’m retaining the knowledge! This is addictive!
He's very articulate and simplifies things in layman's terms with a lot of great analogies. Great video and introduction to Brian. I'm going to look for more stuff by him. Thanks.
Wow this was fantastic. I have been piecing stuff together from Foolish Fish and Jason Louv. So happy to have found this. So clear and I am so happy to have related to certain parts! Shows the 2 years of Raja Yoga has been paying off.
wisdom is understanding. the night is dark because there is no light. WOWO OMEGALUL - GENIUS EXPRESSION - WHAT AN ELEGANT ELOQUENT WAY OF EXPRESSING WHAT YOU MEAN. WWOOOOHHHHAAAA!!!11!1
@Zih Vil wisdom is not intellectualism. There are plenty of well educated intellectuals who have no wisdom. Wisdom must be a gift from god since it seems so few have it lol. It’s probably more accurately described as the combination of knowledge, experience and intuition (which comes from god) combined and then applied. Because of this a wise man trusts himself and has the ability to navigate terrains and circumstances he has never been in before. An intellectual will rely solely on their books and school teachers and in my opinion likely pay less attention to something that comes from within. As far as your theory that all of this is about hard work. Yes but that’s not the entire message of the tree of life and Kabbalah. They wouldn’t create an entire mysticism/religion if the message was simply, work hard. Hard work is required but each path is basically different archetypes of the collective. And each archetype can be experienced at different times and life stages, sometimes simultaneously. Another thing, this is something everyone is experiencing whether they know it or not. People who are drawn to the occult or mysteries will perhaps recognize where they are on the tree. But everyone is on the tree. An enlightened being is an enlightened being whether they know it or not. And lastly magic is very real, and it’s core it’s simply consciousness imposing it’s will on reality. It does not require special rituals. It’s a mental work and as you said hard work comes into play; applying a discipline will amplify the ability of the user of magic. So yes you are right hard work is key. But I feel that’s an oversimplification, there are many more aspects to life. Sometime people have to work less hard
woah in my own work on the unification of physics I believe i came to this same theoretical point, re. the axis mundi being that centerpoint of the torroid that coincides with spine. WOW WOW WOW this makes me think i must be on the right path, as i visualize the only way the aetheric flow can go to create life and time and self concepts. This is an exciting day for me and so brian james thank you so much for your last minute of this talk!!!
Loved wish I could learn it more because if I did....and then I thought, I am not my resources and if I could learn that more..... Excellent lecture and presentation from someone who appears to have genuinely experienced pathworking. ty brother
exactly... one tends to wonder which books this guy even read before giving this lecture, as it's literally 1 google away (for those that didn't already know 😋)
@@VisitorOf22 to be fair those are just translations themselves. Though these are the accepted translation even within the Jewish community. Chochmah and Da’at can be translated in different ways depending on the concept you’re using them to explain. So while he could be telling truth he is rsacrificing his own authenticity by not even saying that is the general translation.
no. nobody in their right mind would consider chokmah as knowledge and daath as nothing but abyss. daath is very much knowledge and chokmah is very much wisdom. I dare you to find another source that classifies this different, i guarantee you cant find one this threw me off too. the other big thing that threw me up on this guy is that he says hes made it to kether, past daath, etc etc. though really in order to have this accomplished is to know the tree and its symbols, colors, representations like you know your abcs. this guy sounds like he took quick notes and presented them as fast. i wouldnt trust this guy
@@izzymarz6788 😂… By the way I think Chesed is Mercy and I haven’t done a path working in 10 yrs using this system…but I think I can teach a basic lecture better than this guy.
Pathwork implies a goal. I prefer the idea that God is in all of us, so ‘taking the Path’ should entail recognizing the presence of God within, and fine-tuning expression of God in our life.
You need that goal in order to identify and experience that part of the divine. Otherwise, it is impossible to experience the totality of God. Our small human minds make that impossible, so we need to travel those paths individually.
In some systems like the Hermetic Qabala it is both. Ruach can be Air, the divine breath and in Partzifum theory it is the part of the soul that represents the conscious mind
Hello everyone .....Wow flashback to my heavier past. And this is one of my first lectures and even if you cant tell I can. Please facebook me if you would like to talk about Kabbalah and other Metaphysical Paths facebook.com/bcjames
Well no - I'm everything, but also separate individual being. Just like my body consists of cells. The condition of these cells determines how the body will work. Small is needed for the big. Also I don't think Malkuth is an illusion. Matter is needed for non material planes to exist - there is a reason it's at the base and everything in it mirrors higher planes.
I have tried to make that point to so many in the past about matter existing at all planes. Its just a finer type. I also agree that Malkuth is not an illusion. It is our battleground, the place we are tested. I like to explain the tree to new people by tying it in with dreaming though and I can see how some would think this meant it was not real. I tell them the Absolute, the Unmanifest, is sleeping and has "dreamed" Manifestation. IT seeks to emerge from within its creation. This lets me tie in how the practice of lucid dreaming came about and that all of the foundational practices are based on what Seers have witnessed within Life Manifest.
Listening to your description of crossing the Abyss and resultant enlightenment paralleled my Satori experience. From your description of the deeper understanding and sense of belonging, it appears that you, too, may have had this experience. Drawing the correlations between Zen and the Tree are interesting.
I didn’t go into the abyss. The “I” dies before we begin at Kether. The “I” was created out of it. No “i” in abyss or even awhile after. 💙 This self asked “the knowing” how is this all explained? This creation. This being all and one. The Knowing stated - the Kabbalah. Tree of life. Beautiful and childlike experience seeing out of these eyes the newness of all.
Conjecture is all that western esotericism can claim about Kabbalah. Guf is not the physical body. It is the body of the partzuf. Neshama, Ruach, Yechida, etc are not what you say they are. They are the lights of the Soul. You learn about them in Pticha. Interesting stuff
when this guy said Ruach was ego I just had to stop the video lmao... why this dude keep using Vedic terms to explain kabbalah...i HATE when people do that....just stick to one system smh

He stated that the “Ruach” is ego. I thought the Ruach (Adoni) was the breath god breathed into man?
Why did he breathe into man and what did this breath create?
