Kaballah

“It helps to have a god to meditate on, it doesn’t matter which one” – Mr. Patel

Here is a worldview not inconsistent with my understanding of how the mind works. Short answer, should work. Please note that my interest is only in how, not why. I view this as a neuron trellis to establish a connectedness with the universe (or God, same thing). Superficially this appears to be a perfectly valid philosophy to hang your thoughts on to achieve awareness or enlightenment. I took yoga (ganesh) as a method to control my blood pressure. Worked too, even though imploring a pink elephant to sprinkle petals of tranquility over me seemed rather silly. An occidental zen? Actually I think the word yoga, in and of itself is rather effete. “a real man doesn’t do yoga, he does zen” – el Loco Gringo

 

WTF? Where has it been? There is talk of secrecy as an enlightened person would have an an advantage over an idiot. I’m sure there’s some of that. And there is talk of danger in that the knowledge of Kabbalah was too powerful to to entrust to everyone. Plato felt the same way about the dudecohedron. There’s some of that. But I think the most important thing is the threat Kabbalah posed to entrenched power, the last thing a ruler wants are enlightened subjects. They’d kick his ass out, or impale him or burn him at the stake, whatever was in vogue for the zeitgeist of the era.Kabbalah teaches its students to question everything and to never be forced to make decisions. One of the most important teachings of Kabbalah is that there is no coercion in spirituality.

The Kabbalah Center empowers others to take responsibility for their own lives. That is the example set by the leaders of The Kabbalah Center. ‘It’s about the teachings, not the teachers.’

The Kabbalah Center makes no promises. If people are willing to work hard to become actively sharing, caring, and tolerant human beings, Kabbalah teaches that they will then experience fulfillment and joy in a way previously unknown to them. That sense of fulfillment, however, comes gradually and is always the result of the student’s spiritual work.

Is Kabbalah a Universal Wisdom?
Historically, Kabbalah has been a secret teaching studied by only a select few in each generation. There has always been much controversy surrounding the teaching of this wisdom, especially when kabbalists tried to open it up to people. Over the past few thousand years, kabbalists have been persecuted for daring to teach these secrets to the masses.

Proposed by the biblical Abraham 4000 years ago as the path to wisdom.
Question everything = dismantle the lattice
I wonder why it was restricted?

Yet another example of the anarchistic view of psychology. Deja vu all over again, or is it Vuja de? All of the knowledge to empower mankind’s full potential already exists, it’s just in different baskets.

While there is much wisdom in kabbalah it is wrapped up in mysticism like other techniques

 

If you have a “hole in the soul” typical of this civilization you might want to check this out. There’s a good beginners thread at contoveros. And a couple of links to get you started. Also note that my graphics were chosen for color compatibility, not accuracy, except for the burning hand, turquoise flames don’t really look right. Maybe I could say “As part if the initiation ritual you dip your hand in boiling sulphur and set it on fire”. Nah! that might be a deal stopper for some people, and it looks like it’s worthwhile. I welome any corrections. There’s a pretty good beginners thread here> Contoveros

“To begin with you just have to learn the terminology used. It gives one such insight into Christianity itself. Take the word Amen for example. Most people know that it basically means “So be it.” It is also an alternative name for Keter. Amen is composed of three letters: Aleph-Mem-Nun. Aleph is the Fiery Intelligence, Radiant Holy Breath or Holy Spirit, and is said to represent Keter. Mem is water or the substance of consciousness/creation from which all things are formed, and is said to represent Hokmah. Nun is the energy-intelligence of the zodiacal sign of Scorpio, which is an occult or hidden power of fire drawn from within water, and is said to represent Binah. Thus, the word amen bears the full power of the Supernals: Keter-Hokmah-Binah, or more properly Hokmah-Binah-Da’at. It is akin to the mantric word Om in the Eastern Traditions, though in its intonement a distinction is made between the upper and lower worlds, or the World of Supernal Light and matrix of creation.Coupled with creative visualization the chant of amen is said to be a great manifesting power. Just try intoning it with full understanding of what it represents. You begin the with the Aa high and the nnn low.”
