I joined BOTA (Los Angeles) in 1967 at the age of 17. After five decades, to hear this explanation once again by Ann Davies in the same casual manner as she did behind-the-scenes at BOTA Headquarters in Highland Park, is a real treat. Thank you very much for the post! Paul's lessons were truly amazing. I studied them like I've never studied anything else.
Kabbalah, a Jewish mystical tradition, and Jesus, a central figure in Christianity, have distinct theological and philosophical perspectives. While it is possible to explore the intersection between these two concepts, it is important to note that Kabbalistic teachings and Christian beliefs differ significantly. Here are some aspects to consider: Kabbalah and the Way: In Kabbalah, the concept of "the Way" can refer to the spiritual path of seeking divine connection and self-transformation. Kabbalistic teachings emphasize the importance of inner spiritual work, such as meditation, contemplation, and ethical living, to align oneself with the divine presence. The Way in Kabbalah involves ascending through various spiritual realms and attaining higher levels of consciousness. Jesus in Christian Belief: In Christianity, Jesus is regarded as the Son of God and the Messiah who came to Earth to offer salvation and redemption to humanity. He is seen as the embodiment of God's love, grace, and teachings. Christian belief holds that through faith in Jesus and following his teachings, individuals can find salvation and eternal life. Differences in Conceptualization: While both Kabbalah and Christianity focus on spiritual growth and the pursuit of divine connection, their conceptualizations differ significantly. Kabbalah places emphasis on the mystical dimensions of Judaism and the exploration of the divine through esoteric practices. Christianity, on the other hand, centers around the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus as the central pathway to salvation and union with God. Mystical Interpretations: Some esoteric interpretations within Christianity, such as Christian mysticism, seek to uncover deeper spiritual meanings beyond the exoteric aspects of the faith. These mystical interpretations may draw inspiration from various sources, including Kabbalistic concepts and practices, to explore the union of the individual soul with the divine. It is essential to approach the intersection of Kabbalah, the concept of the Way, and Jesus with an understanding of the theological and philosophical distinctions between these traditions. While individuals may find inspiration and draw connections between different spiritual paths, it is crucial to respect the integrity and unique teachings of each tradition.
Let's expand on the interpretation of Tzimtzum, a concept in Kabbalah, in English, Greek, and Latin. English: Tzimtzum, in the context of Kabbalah, refers to the concept of divine contraction or concealment. It is the notion that in order for the created world to exist, God, who is infinite and all-encompassing, had to contract or limit His divine presence. This contraction created a space or void within which the created universe could come into being. Tzimtzum is seen as a necessary step in the process of creation, allowing for the existence of a separate reality while maintaining the connection to the divine source. Greek: In Greek, the term for Tzimtzum can be translated as "σύσταση" (sýstasi). It represents the idea of divine withdrawal or contraction, the act of the infinite divine essence drawing back in order to make space for the finite created realm. This withdrawal is seen as a necessary action to enable the existence of the physical world and the separation between the divine and the material. Latin: In Latin, the concept of Tzimtzum can be expressed as "contractio divina." This refers to the divine contraction or contraction of God's essence. The idea is that God, being infinite and all-encompassing, contracts or withdraws in order to create space for the manifestation of the created universe. This divine contraction is considered essential for the establishment of a separate realm of existence while maintaining a connection to the divine source. These interpretations in English, Greek, and Latin aim to capture the essence of the concept of Tzimtzum and its significance in Kabbalistic thought.

THANK YOU for posting this! You have done a great service. B.O.T.A. has brought me back to my Rosicrucian studies in a flash! It is wonderful to hear this particular lecture from Dr. Davies.
The part on Paul Foster Case meeting the man reminds one of Malachi Martin's description of many people who meet mysterious teachers or guides who though flesh and blood disappear and cannot be located or found once dispensing instructions or guidance. Mac Gregor Mathers even swore by meeting secret chiefs and Crowley meet Aiwass. The problem is these teachers are indeed often evil and not good at all and defy all willingness to be brought public or closely examined which might be the most revealing thing of all. Jiddu Krishnamurti claimed he meet these masters on the astral plane and even saw them in front of himself many times but came to conclude they were thought forms or projections of thought but did not rule out they could be solid like the historical tulpas described in legends from Tibet.

Paul Case joined Thoth-Hermes Temple #9 of Rosicrucian Order of AO in New York City, a branch of the Golden Dawn remaining loyal to Mathers. Later Paul Case adapted its rituals for use in BOTA. The Stella Matutina was a schismatic Branch of the Golden Dawn which rejected Mathers. There were substantial differences between the rituals of Stella Matutina and the Rosicrucian Order of AO, the latter of which still survive in BOTA. Thoth-Hermes Temple maintained an active existence for many years after the departure of Paul Case.
But she just said how the qabablah is a mixture of eastern and western practices just cus her teacher couldn't handle that divine spiritual training which was obviously working cus it had a dramatic effect on his psyche, so he fell victim to mundane Desires instead...Allan Bennett,Dion fortune,Fortune, crowley,etc....have all applied eastern teaching especially yoga and breathing techniques to attain spiritual enlightenment and evolution l...were ur from has no merit on whether or not we are able or should be able to use a certain practice... for there is a kernel of Truth in sll the world's Mysteries,practices,systems,and religions.
@@ether6136 because once the Davies penned lessons start it's all about "developing super sensory powers" and other self-aggrandizing trendy new age trash. The lessons don't fit in at all with the previous Case penned lessons and even constantly contradict them. there's no depth or serious scholarship in it. It becomes very clear that the organization lost its brains And is just trying to sustain itself as another cult of personality trying to sell you a promise of "attainment".
@@papatubez3062 Well I don't want to sound combative. I respect your opinion but I 100% disagree. Listening to her talks, I can't detect a single hint of self-aggrandizing.

As for the lessons, whether they were written by case or Davies, they are aimed at spiritual development of which I'm sure "super sensory powers" are a natural consequence. Anne was never supposed to follow behind Case exactly. This person master r is on record telling Anne that she was a balancing force to Case. In so many words, she had her own things to contribute and Paul had his. They were both necessary. I would also not be so quick to say that Anne "contradicted" Case. By knowledge of the law of polarity we should understand that two "seemingly" opposite ideas can be reconciled. Even if they did disagree, what's the problem with that? Mature adults can disagree without feeling personally attacked. Your comment about scholarship is probably what I disagree most with. Her talks weren't filled with "technical knowledge" but to me her thoughts had the same value if not more. She had a way of presenting information and giving a clear REALISTIC path to its application. Love, compassion etc are all profound topics that clearly she had a strong grasp of.
