	Kabbalah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kabbalah (Hebrew: קַבָּלָה; standard vocalization: Qabbala; Tiberian vocalization: Qabbālāh; literally a "receiving" in the sense of a "received tradition") is an esoteric form of Jewish mysticism, which attempts to reveal hidden mystical insights in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible).
		The term "Kabbalah" was originally used in Talmudic texts, among the Geonim (early medieval rabbis) and by Rishonim (later medieval rabbis) as a reference to the full body of the oral tradition of Jewish teaching, which was publicly available.
		Kabbalah in various forms was widely studied, commented upon, and expanded by North African, Turkish, Yemenite, and Asian scholars from the 16th Century onward.

		Lurianic says that the male or the masculine side of the universe, which is basically spirit, is linear and that the female side of the universe is circular.
		Lurianic Kabbalah says that the Infinite One contracted Himself, withdrew and formed an empty space in the midst of Himself and that one ray of light went into that empty space and that one ray of light is Adam Kadmon, the primordial human and the beginning of all things.
		Lurianic Kabbalah says it was because there was no relationship between the points that came forth from Adam Kadmon's eyes, that they didn't relate to one another, therefore they didn't strengthen one another and the vessels broke because the vessels couldn't contain the light.

	Kabbalah - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Kabbalah, according to the more recent use of the word, stresses the reasons and understanding of the commandments in the Torah, and the cause of events described in the Torah.
		Kabbalah includes the understanding of the spiritual spheres of creation, and the ways by which God administers the existence of the universe.
		Most forms of Kabbalah teach that the Sefirot are not distinct from the Ein Sof, but are somehow within it in a potential manner.Kabbalists most often speak of the second aspect of God as being seen by the universe as ten emanations from God; these emanations are called sefirot.

	Lurianic Kabbalah
		It is the theosophical Kabbalah, with its descriptions of the nature and vicissitudes of the godhead in relation to the world that provides a theoretical foundation for the Kabbalah as a whole, as well as for the later Jewish mystical tradition of Hasidism.
		The Kabbalah, however, is unique in its position in the history of western thought, acting as it were as a "switching station" in which the biblical tradition, oriental mysticism and western philosophy converge.
		In the Kabbalah of Isaac Luria these traditions combine with Luria's profound spiritual insight and intense mythical imagination to produce a comprehensive philosophical and psychological vision of the nature of God and humankind that was only imperfectly represented in the prior traditions.

	Kabbalah and Psychology
		The Lurianic symbols are understood both as important historical antecedents to psychoanalysis and as a significant source of both insight and inspiration for contemporary psychotherapists.
		The Lurianic Kabbalists recognized that the negative act of Tzimtzum must be followed by a positive act of hitpashut or emanation, and that the relationship between God and the world, or between man and man, is an ebb and flow of contraction and expansion, withdrawal and assertion, retreat and encounter.
		The psychological significance of the Lurianic Kabbalah is explored, and the Kabbalah is shown to be an important historical antecedent to psychoanalysis, and source for contemporary psychotherapeutic practice.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Daily Life: Tikkun in Lurianic Kabbalah
		In contrast to the mythological conceptions of early Kabbalah, which conceived of the initial theogonic activity [that is, self-creative activity] as an outward act of emanation, Luria describes the first action of divinity as an inward one.
		The answer which Lurianic Kabbalah provides is that by an act of withdrawal, a space--infinitesimally small in comparison to God's infinity--is created in which all dimensions of existence can unfold.
		Lurianism is thus, again, like the gnostic myths of an earlier time, a complete rejection of the world as we know it, and of the historical process.

	Kabbalah World Center - Science and Kabbalah - Odessa State University
		Kabbalah maintains that the main material of our world is human egoism, our desire for pleasure, fulfillment, information, knowledge, possession, and absorption – on any level.
		On the contrary, Kabbalah says that this method is offered to all mankind for its further development, when, at the brink of the 20th-21st centuries, humanity really begins pondering about the meaning of life, and can't find the answer in our religions, or inside the framework of this world.
		All Hasidism grew out of Lurianic Kabbalah – around the 15-16th century, and it does not relate at all to Kabbalah of the 11th-12th century, that is, the Spanish period.

		It is also applied to the Christian or Western Kabbalah which grew from German and Lurianic Kabbalism and found its expression and extension in western Mystery Orders, such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
		The Sefer Yetsirah is a short work expounding the basic structure of the Kabbalah, detailing the creation of the universe via thirty-two hidden paths: the ten sefirot ("numbers," "emanations" or "spheres;" singular, sefira) and the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
		Links between the Kabbalah and many other philosophical, mythological and religious systems have been postulated and detailed; the most important being the links between the Kabbalah, astrology and the Tarot.

		Kabbalah can be translated from the Hebrew as "received tradition", and is a term applied to a vast and seemingly disparate body of esoteric knowledge and practice.
		In its most complete form the Kabbalah can be considered as the "Yoga of the West", complementing the eastern chakra system and having counterparts to many of the forms of yogic practice.
		The Kabbalah at its best is a system of esoteric philosophy, psychology and cosmology that allows any aspect of existence to be assimilated and related to any other on many levels, both rational and trans-rational.

	Isaac Luria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He is the founder of one of the most important branches of Kabbalah, often referred to as Lurianic Kabbalah.
		Soon Arizal had two classes of disciples: (1) novices, to whom he expounded the elementary Kabbalah, and (2) initiates, who became the depositaries of his secret teachings and his formulas of invocation and conjuration.
		The characteristic feature of Arizal's system in the theoretical Kabbalah is his definition of the Sefiroth and his theory of the intermediary agents, which he calls partzufim (from πρόσωπν = "face").

	What is Kabbalah?
		Lurianic Kabbalah: after the expulsion from Spain, a new centre of Kabbalistic learning was set up in Safed, in the Holy Land.
		Luria revolutionized and recodified the Kabbalah - though he was a reluctant man of letters and it was left to his students to record most of his teachings.
		Christian Kabbalah: by the 17th Century, printed versions of the Zohar were available and in the middle of that century a Latin translation appeared of just a few dozen of the several hundred folios that it contained.

	SparkNotes: The Kabbalah: Lurianic Kabbalah
		Lurianic Kabbalah takes its name from Isaac Luria (1534–1572), one of the great sages of Kabbalah.
		Lurianic Kabbalah is considered modern Kabbalah, or Kabbalah as it was practiced from the sixteenth century to the present.
		The God of Kabbalah is not a static, unchanging force with one aspect or face, but an ever-evolving source of energy that thrives on the actions of human beings.

		Originally, however, the term Kabbalah was used in Talmudic texts, among the Geonim, and by early Rishonim as a reference to the full body of publically available Jewish teaching.
		Kabbalah itself could only be taught to a very small group of select individuals who had mastered the other branches of Torah - for these reasons, the English word "cabal" came to refer to any small, secretive and possibly conspiratorial group.
		Kabbalah tended to be rejected by most Jews in the Conservative and Reform movements, though its influences were not completely eliminated.

	Kabbalistic Cosmology
		I am not here suggesting that Luria foresaw the problems of twentieth century physics, or that cosmologists and fundamental physicists are secretly adept in obscure areas of kabbalah, however, it seems that the Lurianic kabbalists and the modern-day researchers of Creation were approaching the same cosmological problem, though using different sets of ideas.
		The matter in the universe arose out of the breaking of the symmetries of the Higgs fields, which Lurianic kaballah parallels with the Shebirah, or "breaking of the vessels", and the falling down through the worlds of the husks or shells (Kelipoth).
		This idea is strangely paralleled in the Lurianic doctrine of the Ein-Sof contracting into itself and forming a tehiru or vacuum while its Ein-Sof Or expands outwards.

	The Sefirot: Kabbalistic Archetypes of Mind and Creation by Sanford L. Drob
		For the Kabbalah, God, the cosmos, the human soul, and the act of knowledge are all a single, unified essence or substance.
		This scheme (along with the most common alternative appellations) is outlined in Table I. The scheme is frequently altered, however, in the Lurianic Kabbalah, which eliminates Keter, and interposes the sefirah Da'at (knowledge) between Binah and Chesed.
		Chesed is the first of seven lower sefirot which are conceived of in the Kabbalah as the moral middot (traits), and therefore have a direct impact upon human character and hence, according to tradition, are the ready focus of self-improvement.

		maybe you didn't see this in "Kabbalah": The many books written on the subject [of Kabbalah] in the 19th and 20th centuries by various theosophists and mystics lacked any basic knowledge of the sources and very rarely contributed to the field, while at times they even hindered the development of a historical approach.
		Similarly, the activities of French and English occultists contributed nothing and only served to create considerable confusion between the teachings of the Kabbalah and their own totally unrelated inventions, such as the alleged kabbalistic origin of the Tarot-cards.
		Mephistopheles doesn't explain why the entire Kabbalah ought to be considered contained in Lurianic exposition on emanationism, such that not just these ideas, but that Kabbalah itself should be identified as originating amongst non-Jewish emanationists.
