The Wisdom Of Kabbalah

Dear One,

Greetings!

This archaic word, "Kabbalah", might ring many familiar bells in your mind, prodding you to think of Madonna, mysticism and perhaps the red string. But, while many may be familiar with the term Kabbalah, few might be aware of what the knowledge is or how to put it into practice. Kabbalah has been clouded in confusion, legend, myth and misinterpretation; because it's said that the authentic Kabbalah has been hidden from mankind for thousands of years due the very reasons stated above.

This ancient knowledge portal is said to have come from Abraham all the way through Moses to Jesus - The Christ. However, modern Christians of various faiths, vehemently differ to accept this truth and disassociate themselves from this ancient science that Jesus himself was said to have practiced.

Although its origins are rooted in deep antiquity, from the time of ancient Babylon, the wisdom of Kabbalah has remained virtually hidden from humanity since it appeared more than four thousand years ago. To this very day, only a few know what Kabbalah really is.

For millennia, humanity was offered a wide variety of things under the name “Kabbalah”: spells, curses, and even miracles - all except for the method of Kabbalah itself. For over four thousand years, common understanding of Kabbalah has been cluttered with misconceptions and misinterpretations. Though Kabbalah is often associated with ancient Judaism, it is not a religion. It is practical and universal spirituality.

Therefore, first and foremost, the wisdom of Kabbalah needs to be made clear. Kabbalist Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam) provides the following definition in his article "The Essence of the Wisdom of Kabbalah":

"This wisdom is no more and no less than a sequence of roots, which hang down by way of cause and effect, in fixed, determined rules, interweaving to a single, exalted goal described as, “the revelation of His Godliness to His creatures in this world.”

In simpler words, there is an upper, all-inclusive force, or “the Creator,” controlling everything in reality. All the world’s forces descend from this comprehensive force. Some of these forces are familiar to us, such as gravity or electricity, while there are forces of a higher order that act while remaining hidden to us.

Kabbalah holds the map or the knowledge of how these hidden forces are structured, and the laws by which they influence us. It teaches us (through books such as The Zohar and other means) how to develop a sense of these forces, and finally, discover their only purpose – to bring us to the revelation of the Creator, the all-inclusive law of nature, while living in this world.

This is a powerful repository of uncommon wisdom, holding keys to a myriad of questions like - What happened before the Big Bang Theory? Why evolution? Why are we here (in other words what is our purpose)? What was the movement that caused the Big Bang Theory?.’

Answers to all these questions and many more esoteric ones are masterfully crafted in ancient aramaic - the semitic language of ancient Israel. The knowledge of the ancients are the seeds of divine wisdom; it has to be understood correctly and cultivated diligently to bear rich spiritual fruits, else, it ends up producing thousands of fanatical religious nuts who just preach, and not necessarily practice.

The secrets of Kabbalah are waiting to be revealed to the worthy. If you deem yourself to be one, do start your journey here - http://www.kabbalaonline.org

To experience the oneness on Man and God is the aim of true spirituality, and to make them sound different and separate is the work of religion.  It is up to you to choose. Choose wisely and be blessed.

Peace in oneself. Peace in the world.
