  W. B. Yeats and "A Vision": Cabbala
The Cabbala which Yeats knew was that filtered through the earliest Golden Dawn, primarily by Mathers and Westcott, and much subsequent scholarship on more authentic Kabbalah is not necessarily relevant in this particular area (though see below).
The Jewish Cabbala was adopted by Christian thinkers during the Renaissance, most notably Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Johannes Reuchlin and Guillaume Postel, and became intertwined with the Rosicrucian tradition, which arose in the early seventeenth century with a spate of anonymous manifestos.
Much modern scholarship understandably views the Golden Dawn’s use of the Cabbala as a tendentious and partial: Mathers and Westcott were selective and sometimes Procrustean in their approach, fitting everything to their magical ends, and this included dissimulation over the origins of the Cipher Manuscript which gave the Order its origin and Hermetic imprimatur.

 Hebrew Tradition
The cabbala is notorious for the so-called practical cabbala, encompassing techniques of fl magic and providing the apparatus for profane, lowly and self-interested application of the cabbala's principles, in other words.
The cabbala aims at attaining an awareness of the real nature of the world as a manifestation of the divine which strives for a return to its origins.
In reality, of all the cabbala's diverse disciplines, it was the theosophical or zoharic stream, with its cognitive basis — both linguistic and literary — that was to experience the greatest impetus.

 More on the Cabbala   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Insofar as Hollywood cabbalism is New Age, promising oneness with the cosmos, it is simplified and commodified Indo-Aryan Hinduism and Greek Neoplatonism; insofar as it teaches brotherly love, it is a cynical theft from the Christian New Testament.
Cabbala, roughly synonymous with Jewish mysticism, is a loose body of oral teachings and mystical texts, including esoteric lore communicated by Jehovah to Adam and Moses.
If the Cabbala does offer ancient esoteric knowledge, as the Jewish gurus now peddling it claim, the possession of it is beyond the understanding of mere Gentiles, who (as evil "limbs of Satan") are mentally and spiritually incapable of apprehending it.

Cabbala, like alchemy, works at three levels: the conscious, story-telling, level; the metaphorical level at which images and symbols work on the subconscious and the spiritual message is understood; and the practical level of applied processes and rituals.

The cabbala belongs to the thought universe of the Semitic language family.
Scholarly opinion on the origin of the cabbala is divided: some think that it is a system originating in the Arab-Hebrew schools of Bhagdad and Granada, some believe it to be extremely old, antedating the Mosaic form of Judaism and the Torah.
For the other view, of the antique cabbala, there is hardly any direct documentary material available from B.C. times, but cross-cultural examinations and structural analysis yield ample clues that point to this view.

 kabala
Origin.—The Cabbala (from the Hindoo Kapila, the inventor of the philosophy of numbers) is the summary of the labors of the sects of Judaism, and is occupied in the mystical interpretation of the Scriptures, and in meta­physical speculations concerning the Deity and the worlds visible and invisible.
Daniel, the pontiff of the Magi and prophet of the Jews, may be considered as the chief founder of the Cabbala, which was conceived at Babylon, and received as the forbidden fruit of the strange woman.
The speculative portion of the Cabbala, whose foundation consists in the doctrine of Emanation, was developed in that School; the philosophical systems of Pytha­goras and Plato were combined with Oriental philosophy, and from these proceeded Gnosticism and Neoplatonism.

 «CABBALA - SECRET TEACHING» - ANNA NOVIKOVA, ALEXANDER PALOGIN
- Cabbala is the closest to a man science since it tells us what a man exists for, why he is born, lives, where he comes from and goes to when he completes his existence on the earth.
When a person deals with Cabbala, the surrounding light immediately starts shining for him but not goes inside, for the sixth sense is not developed yet.
Over centuries Cabbala made use of several languages since a human soul gets developed gradually: it returns to this world, generation after generation, by far ruder with the experience of past lives, additional sufferings, but also spiritually richer.

Cabbala magic seems to be regarded by its devotees, not as miraculous, but as the natural consequence of the ritual or process which conjures it.
Certainly, Cabbala is the sphere which has the most direct interaction with the infernal.
It is also the least philosophically inclined; Cabbala is seen by its adherents as a means to an end, and as such the system itself espouses no particular set of beliefs, though many of its sects, or Cabbals, will often wed their own spiritual and philosophical beliefs to the practices of Cabbala.

 Poetry and Magic - The High Priestess
In sacred Jewish Cabbala she is the Bride of God through whom the manifest Wisdom speaks, and she is represented by the Torah (the scroll of the law).
In Renaissance Christianised Cabbala, because the female is the route through which the Divine energies directly enter the world, she came to be regarded as closer to the Divine than the male and to be exulted by philosophers and poets.
This ran counter to other interpretations of the female as the source of sin and evil in the world, and the problem of evil was (and is) a topic of complex debate.

 Jewish Fundamentalism In Israel--the eugenic state.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
One of the basic tenants of the Lurianic Cabbala is the absolute superiority of the Jewish soul and body over the non-Jewish soul and body.
The Cabbala is unable to adopt this approach because of its emphasis upon the cosmic difference between Jews and non-Jews.
The Cabbala explains that converts are really Jewish souls consigned firstly to non-Jewish bodies as punishments and later redeemed by conversion to Judaism either because the punishment ended or because a holy man interceded.

 Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel : SF Indymedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Rabbi Kook the Elder, the revered father of the messianic tendency of Jewish fundamentalism, said, "The difference between a Jewish soul and souls of non-Jews - all of them in all different levels -is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle."
Rabbi Kook’s entire teaching, which is followed devoutly by, among others, those who have led the settler movement on the occupied West Bank, is based upon the Lurianic Cabbala, the school of Jewish mysticism that dominated Judaism from the late16th to the early 19th century.
According to the Lurianic Cabbala, the world was created solely for the sake of Jews; the existence of non-Jews was subsidiary.

 the cabbalist HOD Sephirot as a semiotic sign
The mentioning of the Cabbala in my analysis of design language will undoubtedly appear incomprehensible or funny or even absurd to many.
One reason for it is my curiosity about the origins of our so called rationalism that linger somewhere in the Orient, probably even further away in time space than the ancient Greek..
As I proceeded, the similarity in Peirce's classification of signs and tracing of semiosical processes of signification became more and more evident : he even names the highest order of interpretation of perceived reality, an Argument which he also defined as * the absolute nothingness...in which the whole universe is involved and foreshadowed.

Although to the modern mind the Cabbala bears little a priori relationship to the Egyptian wriung system, early-modern intellectuals wove these two topics together into the fabric of their symbolic interpretation of Scripture.
The Cabbala, although it eventually became a complete theosophical system of its own, had a somewhat restricted impact on Swedenborg's intellectual environment.
The goal of understanding the Cabbala was, in fact, one of the greatest factors motivating Christian scholars in the pre-Reformation period to learn Hebrew.
