Within Mika's teaching framework, Universal Qabalah belongs to the Orange Path — the pursuit of universal knowledge and spiritual understanding. The Orange Path integrates timeless wisdom from Eastern and Western traditions, offering guidance for self-mastery, discernment, and living aligned with higher principles.
Universal Qabalah is sacred knowledge — a divine tool for self-mastery. Through its study and practice, you come to know who you truly are, and discover the deeper purpose and meaning of your life.
For over twenty years, I have been teaching Universal Qabalah — not as an academic subject, but as a living transmission passed directly from teacher to student, exactly as it has been for centuries.
In that time, I have guided students through every level of this path — from their first encounter with the Hermetic Principles to the deepest work of the Tree of Life. I have watched this knowledge transform lives in ways that no weekend course or online program can replicate.
What I offer is not information. It is transmission — the direct handing down of sacred knowledge from a lineage that has been kept intact through generations of dedicated teachers and students. This is what I was entrusted to carry, and it is what I pass on to those who are genuinely ready to receive it.
If you feel called to this path, I invite you to begin with a free inquiry call. The right students find their way here. Perhaps you are one of them.
— Mika Ichihara
What is Universal Qabalah?
Qabalah is considered to be the oldest knowledge and wisdom, providing a blueprint for us to understand the mechanism of our lives.
It is the most powerful spiritual tool on the planet, yet it is a simple system for manifestation, self-discovery, and empowerment.
The core of this knowledge is the Tree of Life, which is composed of 10 energetic spheres called “Sephiroth.”
Qabalah awakens dormant energies within the body, opens your ability to manifest, opens the gates of the soul, and gives you direct solutions to many personal issues.
Until the early 19th Century, Qabalah teaching was hidden from the public, but now this teaching has become widely available to all spiritual seekers.
Traditionally, Qabalah was taught directly by a teacher to students. If you are serious about learning any form of Qabalah, it is vital to have a qualified teacher.
Our Universal Qabalah is based on the Hermetic teaching, which follows the Egyptian-Greek tradition.
Our courses have no religious implications; they solely serve the purpose of translating the secrets of ancient wisdom and applying that understanding to our individual lives. Students from all walks of life and any background are welcome.
Why This Course is Unique
Traditionally, Qabalah was taught directly from teacher to student — passed down through generations of dedicated teachers and students with great care and integrity.
In today's world, it has become widely available on the internet and social media — and often misrepresented. Some teachings have quickly shifted their focus toward material gains such as wealth, power, and personal success, moving away from the deeper purpose of preserving and transmitting profound ancient wisdom.
The authentic Qabalah offered here is far deeper and more life changing, as you can witness by reading the journeys of our students. It is a path of genuine inner work — the true process of transforming yourself to become who you truly are. The process reveals what your higher self guides you toward.
This teaching follows an authentic lineage transmitted directly from teacher to student. It is not found on the internet, nor can it be learned from a book. It is given only to those who are ready — and only in the traditional way.
What This Course Offers
Centuries-Proven System of Spiritual Training for True Self-Realization
1 Know Thyself
The Universal Qabalah Mastery Courses are a profound study of the self. They guide students to explore both the conscious and subconscious dimensions of their being in order to discover their true nature and live in greater alignment with it.
This work offers direct insight into personal challenges and supports students in addressing the essential questions of human existence:
l Who am I?
l What am I, beyond roles and identities?
l Where am I going?
l What is my deeper purpose in life?
Through this process, self-knowledge becomes the foundation for clarity, fulfillment, and conscious living.
2 Inner Work: Study of the Soul
Through our Universal Qabalah Courses, you will begin a new journey called "inner work." This is the study of your own soul, in learning who you are. Inner work is the most vital component of Universal Qabalah. Our courses are suitable for those who are serious, true seekers, not for those who are just curious. Inner work requires a spiritual teacher or master to work with continuously because the teacher will guide you in the right direction throughout the journey.
3 Living Life with Divine Guidance via own Soul Journey
Studying with our Universal Qabalah Mastery Course is like experience your spiritual growth as your spiritual journey. It is not just intellectual curiousity or personal interest. It is real. This method has been kept intact for only those who are real seekers.
As you enter your journey, you will soon recognize how your own life and your growth are brought together. Theories are no longer theories. They will not only elevate your consciousness but also how to live and overcome our ups and downs. You wil learn how to live your life rather than being consumed by the circumstances or own emotions often derived from the past.
