"Since I am a Tibetan Buddhist, it always amazes me how Kythera's experiences and teachings parallel the explanations given to such subjects through Dzogchen meditation. She is a true Tara and proves that the mystic's experience is true in all traditions...thus proving the universal reality that is shared on all dimensions."

Other Programs & Highlights
All my spiritual work is by donation. Courses vary in length according to subject.
KABBALAH:
Participants will begin to understand how to release the Shekinah dimension in their own lives. Kabbalah in Hebrew means: "message"; "to receive"; "tradition"...it is an ancient contemplative and meditative system that has proved valid for the Western mind set for thousands of years. I do not not give the answers through this course; I open the doors to your own mystical revelations. In this course, others' interpretations are left behind. Now you, as thousands of Kabbalists before you, glimpse and become the revelation.
COMPARATIVE RELIGION:
I have re-worked the Comparative Religion course to be part of an accredited on-line University that does offer degrees. They charge $75.00 for the course and it leads to a Masters of Religion. To read more about it go to:

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Kythera Grunge
A question I'm often asked is: "You aren't Jewish; how can you teach Kabbalah?"
Years ago, I started to see Hebrew glyphs in meditations (though I didn't know what they were) and during my day I would hear in my mind songs in Hebrew (although I didn't know that was the language) that I would sing. I kept utilizing the songs I heard and contemplating the glyphs in my mind. This led me to realizations on many elements of Spirituality. I eventually was led to understand that the symbols and sounds came from Hebrew origin. I found this intriguing, as I have no Jewish background (this life, anyway).
I kept working with these Spirit-given tools and found that the sounds and glyphs definitely changed my perceptions and altered my consciousness to move through the world in a more wholistic way. My private work with this form of meditation/contemplation continued for many years. I had no idea if anyone else had these experiences, but was content that I was receiving directly from Spirit, since all had improved my life and was filled with love.
Over twenty-five years ago, I was teaching a Comparative Religion adult education course at a local college. My co-facilitator was a Tibetan Buddhist monk. As I discoursed on Western theology he made the comment, "You are a Kabbalist." I wanted to know if that was a disease! He had been raised Jewish (sister married a Hasidic Rabbi in Israel), and explained to me that my philosophy on life and method of discourse was Kabbalistic. I shared with him my meditations, and he confirmed the language. He then took me to the University library where there was a large section of Jewish Kabbalah.
I became fascinated that people for thousands of years had been experiencing things I experienced, some even mentioned the same techniques! Since then, I've read everything I can and have compared it to my direct experience.
I live in a Judeo-Christian world; most of my students know the stories of the New Testament better than the Old. Since Jesus was a Jew, it wasn't difficult for me to create a bridge for students to connect with traditional Jewish techniques. I believe that Kabbalah, although for a long period of history it has been held sacred within the Jewish community, is not exclusively Jewish. If it were, Spirit would not have used it to speak to me. I believe it is something more...a primary encoding of Spiritual Law, accessible to anyone who can lift their consciousness to Spirit. There are too many similarities between my experiences and those not only of Kabbalists but Native American Shamans, Druids, and other Spiritual individuals. In my conversations with these individuals, we find we all use the same consonant and vowel combinations with similar results. Our descriptions vary only because of the cultural metaphors we choose to relate them to. I don't believe one needs to be in any particular sect to be able to connect with Spirit and disseminate that information to others. What happens is that when an individual connects, they'll translate that experience into a metaphor they can relate to and use to communicate to others.
