'Gifts of the Universe'

'Gifts of the Universe' is a guided meditation designed to help you clarify what you 'want' and 'need' in life. It forms part of the teachings that relate to the sephirah Malkuth on the Tree of Life and can be found in the Practical Qabalah Malkuth workbook which is available from The Order of the White Lion website.

Do You Believe in Karma?

Do you believe in karma? The topic of karma was not something I had previously thought much about before I began studying Qabalah and the Tree of Life. But the more I looked into the concept of karma the more I realised that actually - for me - it made a lot of sense. I think that karma is generally considered to be a sort of punishment and therefore it can make us feel uncomfortable to think about. My understanding of karma and karmic conditions has changed, and grown, since I first began my own personal spiritual journey and although it often feels like 'tough love' I feel I would rather know what I need to pay attention to in my life, than not. 

Fate or Destiny?

What is the difference between Fate and Destiny?  

Qabalah teaches us that Destiny is what we are destined to do this lifetime whether we are consciously aware of it or not.  It is what we have decided for ourselves before we are born, and the path we have chosen to walk this incarnation.  Destiny could be described as our own personal star; our own personal sun around which our life revolves.  It is the direction our soul is guiding us towards and for that to happen we must be a willing vehicle.

So, if Destiny is what we are here on earth to achieve .... what then, is Fate?  And what happens if the personality is not a willing vehicle?

The Order of the White Lion is a teaching site dealing with all aspects of Spiritual and Physical life.
