What is kabbalah?




Some say kabbalah is the user's manual for reality. Other say it is a Jewish discipline.According to Deepak Chopra - a well known Indian-American medical doctor and writer who has written many books on spirituality, kaballah shows you how to reveal the beauty of your spirit and embark on a journey of selfdiscovery and transformation









The word Kabbalah comes from the Hebrew word lekabbel, to receive. It describes the motives of actions as Òthe desire to receive.Ó Hence it seeks to define the nature of the universe and the human being.It seeks to define the nature and purpose of existence.







THE KABBALAH CENTRE - founded in Jerusalem in 1922, say this about the



Kabbalistic teachings:

It is the worlds oldest body of spiritual wisdom - it contains the long-hidden keys to the secrets of the universe as well as the keys to the mysteries of the human heart and soul. Kabbalistic teachings explain the complexities of the material and the nonmaterial universe, as well as the physical and metaphysical nature of all humanity. It shows in detail,how to navigate that vast terrain in order to remove every form of chaos, pain, and suffering.





Bnei Baruch -the largest group of Kabbalists in Israel and also a movement of many thousands of students worldwide also explain it in a similar fashion: an accurate method to investigate and define mans position in the universe. The wisdom of the Kabbalistic teachings tells us the reason why man exists, why he is born, why he lives, what the purpose of his life is, where he comes from and where he is going after he completes his life in this world.



If this is this case anyone studying these teachings would find the answers to these 4 questions man has tried to find answers to for centuries.


Who are we?
where do we come from?
Why are we here?
Where are we going?



It seems many people is doing just that.







Today, millions of people of all religions and faiths are studying it. According to the Kaballah Center there are two primary reasons for this:



1. It works - people apply the wisdom and tools in this teaching to their lives and they experience positive results.



2. It is a way of life that can enhance any religious practice. Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and Jews use the Kabbalistic teachings to improve their spiritual experience.






Every human being is a work in progress



The Kabbalistic teachings say that every human being is a work in progress. Any pain, disappointment, or chaos that exists in our lives is not because this is how life is meant to be, but only because we have not yet finished the work that brought us here.That work, quite simply, is the process of freeing ourselves from the domination of the human ego and creating an affinity with the sharing essence of God.



People who hear about The Kabbalah teachings think it is a Jewish discipline - a school of thought discussing the mystical aspect of Judaism.The word is a Jeweish word meaning "receiving" so it is understandable that one would think this. However according to the the Kaballah Center: Many scholars of Kabbalah have been non-Jewish scholars of this wisdom, such as Christian Knorr-von-Rosenroth, Pico Della and Sir Isaac Newton, just to name a few.



The startling truth is that Kabbalah was never meant for a specific sect. Rather, it was intended to be used by all humanity to unify the world.









Kabbalistic understanding of God



In Kabbalah every idea grows from the foundation of God,and the entire study is based on that central belief. The statement by Maimonides, from the Mishneh Torah is accepted by all traditional Kabbalists:

The foundation of all foundations, and the pillar of all wisdom is to know that there is God who brought into being all existence. All the beings of the heavens, and the earth, and what is between them came into existence only from the truth of God's being.

Kabbalah teaches that God is neither matter nor spirit. Rather God is the creator of both.
This question, "what is the nature of God?", prompted Kabbalists to envision two aspects of God, (a) God himself, who in the end is unknowable, and (b) the revealed aspect of God that created the universe, preserves the universe, and interacts with mankind. Kabbalists speak of the first aspect of God as Ein Sof (אין סוף); this is translated as "the infinite", "endless", or "that which has no limits". In this view, nothing can be said about this aspect of God. This aspect of God is impersonal. The second aspect of divine emanations, however, is at least partially accessible to human thought. Kabbalists believe that these two aspects are not contradictory but, through the mechanism of progressive emanation, complement one another. See Divine simplicity; Tzimtzum. The structure of these emanations have been characterized in various ways: Four "worlds" (Azilut, Yitzirah, Beriyah, and Asiyah), Sefirot, or Partzufim ("faces"). Later systems harmonize these models.
Some Kabbalistic scholars, such as Moses ben Jacob Cordovero, believe that all things are linked to God through these emanations, making us all part of one great chain of being. Others, such as Schneur Zalman of Liadi (founder of Lubavitch [Chabad] Hasidism), hold that God is all that really exists; all else is completely undifferentiated from God's perspective.
Such views can be defined as monistic panentheism. According to this philosophy, God's existence is higher than anything that this world can express, yet he includes all things of this world down to the finest detail in such a perfect unity that his creation of the world effected no change in him whatsoever. This paradox is dealt with at length in Chabad Chassidic texts
