The Miracle Tree offers a revolutionary new approach to the Tree of Life from a leading author who has practiced Western Qabalah for more than 30 years. R. J. Stewart uses one simple premise -- we are already the Tree of Life. Written in plain English without exotic terminology, no background in Victorian occultism is necessary to use this book. Many of the practical exercises and forms within are the result of years of spiritual exploration in a hallowed tradition, and have never been published before. Because the word "Qabalah" originally meant an oral tradition, the voice of this book is that of a teacher talking with a group of students (the readers), without elitism, obscurity, or willful secrecy. Some secret techniques are described, including Withdrawal from Time, The Qabalah of the Three Suns, Walking Participation, and entering the Inner Temple traditions. These techniques produce powerful and rapid results when the student practices them regularly. They work directly within us, reaffirming the truth that we are already the Miracle Tree. Another unique and groundbreaking feature of this book is that the author traces the sources of Tree of Life meditations and visions through medieval times in Europe. He demonstrates a verifiable historical origin for Tree of Life practices that substantially predates the standard texts usually assumed to be the origins of Qabalah in the West. Book jacket.
