Introduction to Foundations of Mystical Practice

An Interdisciplinary Look at the Great Wisdom Traditions

3

This comprehensive program invites you on a transformative spiritual journey, guiding you through the timeless mystical teachings of great wisdom traditions, including ancient Greek philosophy, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and Judaism. While they are all gateways into the one absolute reality, their differences are meaningful – they represent different facets of the same diamond of Absolute Reality.

THE ESSENCE OF MYSTICISM

Unveiling Liberating Secrets in Ancient Scriptures

Have you ever felt deeply inspired by a spiritual scripture yet found yourself lacking the key to fully embrace its liberating wisdom?

Ever tried to meditate with sacred texts but felt overwhelmed by their complex metaphors and elusive messages?

Fascinated by the allure of holy scriptures but feeling disconnected due to their traditional contexts?

Take a transformative journey with Dr. Shai Tubali, a guide who bridges the gap between the ancient and the modern, the symbolic and the literal, the sacred and the secular. Discover a new path to spiritual enlightenment with this unique program, tailored to help you navigate and connect with ancient wisdoms in a meaningful and accessible way.

Explore the Foundations of Mystical Wisdom through These Five Traditions:

Buddhism

Hinduism

Christianity

Ancient Greece

Judaism

The mystic in all religious and spiritual enlightenment traditions is the one who strives to blend his or her being and consciousness with the being and consciousness of universal reality, the source of all creation. A mystic is one who aspires to transition from perceiving the many to recognizing the One.”

 

– Dr. Shai Tubali

A JOURNEY INTO TIMELESS WISDOM

Awaken the Mystic Within You

This program is not merely educational; it is an immersive experience that transcends the confines of conventional learning.

Dive deep into the teachings of various world philosophies, from the innocence and purity of Jesus’ message to the profound realizations of Buddha’s non-self to the explorations of the higher self in the Upanishads and Plato’s insightful reflections on the soul.
As you navigate through the varied landscapes of these ancient wisdoms, Shai’s role as a compassionate facilitator becomes pivotal. His expert guidance facilitates a deep, personal connection with these teachings, fostering a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. This program invites you to transform ancient wisdoms into living realities, enriching your personal experience and guiding you towards a deeper, more enlightened way of life.

PRACTICES, PRAYERS & MEDITATIONS

Go Beyond Tradition While Incorporating Traditions’ Unique Spiritual Gifts

Shai introduces a trans-traditional transmission that blends the best of traditions without binding or limiting us to a single form. Experience the universal gifts of knowledge each tradition has to offer: Jesus as the divine child, Buddha as the no-self, Upanishads as the higher Self, Lureanic Kabbalah as the Light of Infinity, and Plato as the soul or psyche.

The four intensives incorporate various exciting and deeply transformative practices, to help bring participants closer to a direct experience of their innermost, spiritual being. It is a process of merging into unity and spiritual consciousness, enkindling the subtle spiritual fire of the soul.

Among the practices that will support you on your way are:

Buddhism

Inner fire meditation, loving-kindness, mindfulness of breathing

Christianity

Kabbalistic inner fire, prayer of the heart

Judaism

Hitbodedut (conversation with God)

Ancient Greece

Logic for cosmic order, direct experience of ‘the Forms’

Hinduism

Kriya Yoga, the inner cave of the heart

This program will serve as a roadmap, guiding you through each journey in turn to complete the holistic journey. It will endow you with a deep understanding of the different facets of the diamond that is your spiritual being and a direct experience of the subtle spiritual realms of your Being. The sacred scriptures and meditation techniques provide a transcendental experience, disconnecting from daily consciousness and embracing what is truly meaningful.

WHAT THE PROGRAM INCLUDES

A Journey into the Mystical Experience of Five Major Mystical Traditions

Katha UPANISHAD

Death and Rebirth

“The Upanishads’ interest did not lie in material objects or tangible things. Instead, they harbored an intense passion for uncovering the secrets and understanding the essence of the human mind. Both students and teachers were consumed by a pivotal question: Who is the experiencer of life? Their focus was not on the nature of experiences or the meaning of life but on the identity of the one who lives and experiences it. Central to their belief was the principle that the human mind possesses the innate ability to liberate itself. They held that neither rituals nor deities were necessary for redemption. Through the practices of self-inquiry and meditation, they believed the mind could free itself from suffering and achieve the highest form of self-realization. “

The Katha Upanishad belongs to the most ancient and transformative teachings of India, known as the Upanishads. It recounts a lively and poignant story of a boy’s encounter with Death, seeking answers about the meaning of life and death. This narrative, along with the teachings imparted by Death, will help us grasp the deeper insights concealed within the concept of death and the potential for rebirth.

Under Shai’s explanations and guidance, we will learn to unravel the transformative wisdom embedded in this ancient sacred text.

PALI CANON

The Awakening of the Buddha

Buddha consciousness refers to the unique state of mind that allowed Buddha to achieve his profound insights. By striving to comprehend this consciousness, we don’t just learn about Buddha’s discoveries or draw inspiration from his story; we actively participate in his journey and revelations. This involves deeply connecting with his thoughts and emotions. The remarkable aspect of Buddha consciousness is its universal nature—it’s not confined to Buddha alone. It’s a pervasive quality, an essence that exists within us all, waiting to be discovered and embraced. “

At the heart of this course is the unique story of Siddharta Gautama’s awakening, as passed down in the Pali Canon. The journey of a person who became a Buddha in search of knowledge and truth. It is an invitation to sit with Siddharta under the Bodhi tree, to penetrate the cycle of illusion and suffering within us, to become free and to dive hand in hand with the Buddha into the reality of spiritual awakening.

THE NEW TESTAMENT

The Heart of Jesus

“The manner of Jesus’s death was a highly significant aspect of how he became the gateway for many others. Jesus himself was and remains the gateway or the door. The path that leads us to this door and enables us to pass thro”ugh it is the heart, which we will refer to as the divine child or the Christ child. By learning to become a divine child, by following the heart in the manner that Jesus advises, one can enter this elusive and mysterious Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven.”

In various places in the New Testament, Jesus points out that we must become like children in order to enter the Kingdom of God. What is meant by this?

If we look at Jesus himself, he spoke of God as the Father – that is, he took himself to be a child of the Divine. He gave his life into the hands of God with complete trust, just as a child entrusts his life completely to his parents. So the divine child seems to be a fundamental principle.

Together with Shai Tubali, we will explore the subtle principles behind these words and learn to awaken the divine child within us in order to come closer to the Kingdom of God within us and around us.

PHAEDO

Socrates, Death & Self-Transformation

“Philosophy is also a form of transformation. Nowadays, academic Philosophy seems to be a dry, analytical, and completely isolated mode of thinking, lacking direct transformative implications. However, this is surely not what the ancient Greeks meant when they spoke of philosophy. In this journey, we will understand that for them, philosophy was a process of self-transformation, self-transcendence, meditation, and something that meant much more than a logical process. When they did employ logical processes, it was in order to transcend logic itself—to reach a state beyond words, beyond thought. It was about uncovering truths that could profoundly change our lives”

A journey into the birthplace of Western culture awaits as we explore together Plato’s ‘Phaedo.’ Phaedo is a dramatic text, documenting the final conversation between Socrates and his students just before he consumes the poison hemlock that will end his life. Through this text, we delve into themes of preparing for death, facing mortality, and contemplating what lies beyond. Combined with practices, guided meditations, and other teaching elements, this journey becomes an experiential dive into the heart of transformative philosophy.

"It is a wonderful intimate journey to one's Self."

A Retreat with Shai Tubali is a wonderful intimate journey to one’s Self.

Bathing in Shai’s pure Energy, we are cleansing and purifying ourselves – like in a bath of Light.

Especially his powerful Life-Force-Meditations let us experience the Unity we are – since I am sure that there are no real boundaries between us – that we are all this flowing Life-Energy.

Really, that gives such happiness!

In the time between the meetings with Shai, we can walk in beautiful landscapes, Yoga-exercises are proposed, Dynamic Meditation – and last not least, we have delicious vegan food.

"My personal transformation process was an immense opening to the inner source."

“My personal transformation process was an immense opening to the inner source.

This connectedness, from which I can draw at any time in order to give, is probably the most sacred thing I have realised. I have experienced so much peace in my being that emotions no longer take up so much space. I react much more calmly and clearly when a storm breaks in from the outside. Decisions are no longer based on offended ego, but in compassion and peace.

I would definitely recommend this program. This training is key and there is probably no one who could not use this kind of healing. Especially now in this time when there is a global awakening going on.”

      "A retreat with Shai prepares every participant to a possible spiritual awakening, which has happened to me several times during the retreats."

      A retreat with the enlightened Kundalini Master Shai Tubali is an extraordinary opportunity to merge into the essence of deep silence. To be in silence is more than calming down from the stress of our high demanding and overactive postmodern society. Beyond the psycho-somatic regeneration the subtle energetic systems are stimulated, which leads to unblocking energy blockages and enables it’s free flow from in- and outside to the body-mind-complex.

      Satsang, guided meditations, body work, creative writing, music, dance and walks in nature etc. support this process. The retreat prepares every participant to a possible spiritual awakening, which has happened to me several times during the retreats. Spiritual awakening is often expressed though strong, even overwhelming feelings of love, compassion, devotion, serenity, bliss, freedom and oneness. One peak experience was merging with the abyss of divinity where oneness can be felt as an orgiastic ecstasy. For me the retreats with Shai Tubali are life changing. Life has gained a new meaning and the sense for beauty has been sharpened. A non-reversible and ongoing process of development and integration has been initiated. I just can express my gratitude and recommend to every interested person to try this wonderfully life changing opportunity.

      With love

      "Silence, to be with me, to have nothing to do – a luxury that actually represents no luxury, but lived energy and meaningful action. I am looking forward to my 6th Retreat this year!!"
      Since 2018 I am participating every year in the retreats with Shai Tubali! Shai’s way of spiritual teaching and accompanying is a great mix of wisdom and down-to-earth learning. As a result, many experiences from the Silence Retreat outlast the everyday life. With every retreat, a piece of retreat comes home and does not fade like in many other events, where the reality of everyday life demands its supposed price. Silence,
      to be with me, to have nothing to do – a luxury that actually represents no luxury, but lived energy and meaningful action. I am looking forward to my 6th Retreat this year !!!
