	Isaac Luria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rabbi Isaac Luria (1534–July 25, 1572) was a Jewish scholar and mystic.
		Luria showed himself a diligent student of rabbinical literature; and, under the guidance of Rabbi Bezalel Ashkenazi (best known as the author of Shittah Mekubetzet), he, while quite young, became proficient in that branch of Jewish learning.
		In his company Luria visited the grave of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and of other eminent teachers, it is said that these graves were unmarked and the identitys of each grave was unknown and through Elijah was each grave recognized.

	Sabbatianism, Tikkun and the Big Bang Theory
		In previous essay I have alluded to the fact that Isaac Luria's 16th century, Kabbalistic notion of the "Sheviret HaKelim" (or "Shattering of the Vessels") -- on which the Neo-Sabbatian concept of Tikkun, or "Holy Repair of the Face of God" -- is virtually identical to that of the "Big Bang" theory of 20th-century astrophysics.
		For the first time in history, Luria proposed that the Universe was created not by an orderly process, but out of a cataclysmic accident, what he called the "Shattering of the Vessels," by which he meant the breaking of the original Ten Sefiroth resulting from a cosmic destabization in the very fabric of God Himself.
		Luria's genius was not only to discover these phenomenal events, but also to propose what C.G. Jung later called "the remarkable idea" that man can enter into partnership with God by liberating the alientated Sparks from their reshimu-encrusted "Shells" and returning them to wholeness with their Source.

		Isaac Luria (1534-1572), nicknamed "Ari" (the Lion) for his spiritual presence and force was one of the greatest Kabbalists of Medieval/Renaissance Europe, and was instrumental in the development of many aspects of the Kabbalah that we are familiar with today.
