Question: (Last edited: Sunday, 16 December 2012, 2:42 PM)Course or Forum? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: In the Qabbalah course, the purpose is to learn and study together, however in the General Open Forum, the man focus is not on learning and study, but on meeting and discussing, and of course you are invited to participate in both the course and the forum ;-) Please note however that the course and the forum each serve a different purpose: What is the difference between the Qabbalah Course and the General Open Forum? In the Qabbalah Course there are several units which offer you teaching materials that introduce and elaborate on important basic aspects of magic, Qabbalah and the Western Mysteries. These texts are written by Salomo Baal-Shem, and they are a part of the theoretical training of the outer court of the Brotherhood of the Eternal Light (BOEL) during the first year of training. When you participate in the Qabbalah Course, you are asked to read these lesson texts and discuss them with your fellow students. Just as it is common-place in other courses, e.g. at university, we ask participants to refer to the lesson texts when they write their articles and their feedbacks on the articles of their fellow students.This is an excellent opportunity to share your thoughts and your opinion on the teaching materials with like-minded people.

Question: (Last edited: Friday, 31 August 2012, 11:32 AM)How to begin the Qabbalah Course and how to proceed | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: (The following applies when you are enroled to the Qabbalah course. If you are not enroled to the Qabbalah course, the links will not work.) Please start the course by reading: Welcome and Introduction to this Online Course (Start here!) Then proceed to this link. In general, the course works as follows: Go to this page (it will open in a new window). Here you will find the contents of the course in the middle column. You have to go through everything from top to bottom, because activities in this course are conditional. Please take care that you finish and submit any quiz you have started, like the introduction quiz, so that you can proceed to the next activity. If the quiz does not show correctly, please read our FAQ entry on this "Quiz does not work". We wish you all the best for your studies! | ||||
Question: (Last edited: Thursday, 30 August 2012, 8:22 PM)When will the next unit be accessible? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: When will the next unit be accessible? What's more, the Qabbalah online course is available in both German and English, and since we never had any online courses before up until the end of 2010, the quizzes need to be written, translated and uploaded, and in general the technical side of online learning needs to be organised and maintained, too. Please also compare the resource "A Word to the Pioneers" which provides further information and which is accessible for all those already enroled in the course. Is there anything I can do to support BOEL and to advance the course? We would also like to encourage all participants in case of frequently asked questions to help us and answer these, e.g. by referring to the FAQ entries. | ||||
