It’s All Good—Turning Setbacks into Gold

At the end of the Bible’s creation story the Torah states, “And God saw all that he had done and found that it was [all] good,” (Genesis 1:31). In the eyes of the divine, it’s all good. Even when things don’t run exactly as we planned, even when it all goes like a Stephen King novel, realize it’s all for the good. The Tree of Life helps us to learn to be more patient, to see a bigger picture, “to accept.” Accept disappointment and obstacles, knowing that they pop up only to prod us to create a bigger capacity for life. Look at the labor of childbirth—the curse God supposedly laid on poor Eve as she was cast from Eden. The pain, it seems, is merciless. But the reward for that excruciating torture is a brand new life. Read More

About the Lecturer

Gahl Sasson makes Kabbalah, astrology and psychology engaging, illuminating, and fun. The way he sees Kabbalah is accessible to anyone from any faith and background. The innovative examples that he conjures up to illustrate these high concepts spurs his audience to laugh and then declare, Aha. Most of all, Gahl tells stories, relating a vast array of compelling myths from traditions across the globe to delineate the workings of the inner world. His book, A Wish Can Change Your Life, (published by Simon & Schuster and co-written with Steve Weinstein), blends wisdom and metaphors from cultures across history and the entire world into an innovative blueprint for personal transformation and material enrichment. Thousands have enthusiastically embraced his fresh and stimulating approach to spirituality in lectures and workshops in the United States, Mexico, and Israel. Read More

The Kabbalistic Matrix

All creations follow the Tree of Life. Movies, for example, vividly illustrate the inner-workings of the Tree because virtually every film tells the story of the wish-fulfilling journey of its hero. Nerdy boy yearns to love beautiful girl. The Queen wishes to unify England. The FBI agent dreams of cracking the big case without cracking up himself. The Sefer Yitzerah, the oldest Kabalistic text on Earth, states “God created His universe with a story [Sipur],” and so logically every story embodies the process of God’s creation.
By transposing the plot of a movie onto the Tree, we are able to see quite emphatically the nature of the spheres and how they all lead one to another, how they all work together, to create the finished product. To fulfill the hero’s wish. Examining a movie step by step, sphere by sphere, illuminates the bank of symbols native to each energy as well as all the unexpected synchronicities that point the way to the fulfillment of the quest. A harmless glass of water on the table, the number of cookies on a plate, anything could be an arrow pointing the protagonist down the essential path.
Analyzing how the Tree works on the hero of a popular film can help us to recognize in our own lives the similar symbols, plot twists and synchronicities that are sure to pop up as each of us embarks on our own hero’s journey through the Wish-Fulfilling Tree. Tracing the story from Crown to Kingdom will, I hope, aid you in recognizing how to put all these theories into practice. Read More

Manifesting With The Kabbalah

Gahl Sasson and Steve Weinstein have written a book about manifesting with the Kabbalah, A Wish Can Change Your Life. Published by Simon & Schuster of New York, it encourages its readers to "make a wish, any wish!". Every week you will be lead through one sphere on the Tree of Life. The book leads readers through a practice which incorporates meditation, chanting, journaling, noticing the synchronicities in one’s life and the magic of ritual. It teaches readers to use the magic of the tree to change their lives. This book will change your life, and it will teach you a lot about the magic of the Kabbalah.
The book is based on a workshop that Gahl Sasson has been teaching for five or six years. "The classes are free flow, I am never ‘prepared’ so to speak," admits Sasson. "In Hebrew every letter is a sign and also a letter. In Hebrew the letter meaning ‘to teach’ and ‘to learn’ is the same letter," said Sasson. Read More

The Zodiac and the Truth Behind Astrology

Astrology is one of the most ancient sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the wise and the great. Formerly, no prince would make war or peace, nor any general fight in battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an astrologer."
