Formation of the Tree of Life
by Patrick Mulcahy
2010

Excerpt from Introduction:

What follows is essentially an extended meditation on the kabbalistic Tree of Life mandala during which a new vision of the Tree of Life is formulated. Perhaps paradoxically, this new vision is derived from information encoded in several well-known ancient traditional kabbalistic sources: The Book of Creation (Sefer Berashit)2, The Book of Formation (Sefer Yetzirah)3, The Book of Concealed Mystery (Sefer Dtzenioutha), The Greater Holy Assembly (Ha Idra Rabba Qadisha), and The Lesser Holy Assembly (Ha Idra Zuta Qadisha)4. There is a common thread running through all of these classic texts. Formation of the Tree of Life seeks to follow that thread and by means of it to unify (to a certain extent) the knowledge contained in those five ancient books.
