The Teachings of Rabbi Avraham Abulafia

​

"Mazref - The Academy for the Study of the Prophetic Consciousness Teachings of Rabbi Avraham Abulafia" was founded in October 2017. Rabbi Avraham Abulafia, of blessed memory, was a mystic and a revolutionary from the thirteenth century who was a researcher of human-divine consciousness and the mysticism of language. He invented what today we would call meditative techniques for attaining prophetic, or altered, state of consciousness.

The goal of Mazref is to make Abulafia's theoretical and prophetic writings accessible, along with the practical techniques, which make use of voice, breathing and movement. Emphasis is also placed on studying the art of zeruf – the dissembling and rearranging of words through writing exercises with the intention of transforming human language from the static to the dynamic and of liberating words from specific meanings.

In English, Mazref offers an introductory course in Abulafia's teachings for anyone interested in getting a general idea of his unique approach. More advanced courses are also available. I am also in the process of writing a book on Abulafian practice.
