KABBALAH - LoveToKnow Article on KABBALAH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) The cardinal doctrines of the Kabbalah embrace the nature of the Deity, the Divine emanations or Sephiroth, the cosmogony doctrines the creation of angels and man, their destiny, and of the the import of the revealed law. According to this theory of the archetypal man the three Sephiroth on the right-hand side are masculine and represent the principle of rigour, the three on the left are feminine and represent the principle of mercy, and the four central or uniting Sephiroth represent the principle of mildness. Its ten Sephiroth are made up of the grosser elements of the former three worlds; they consist of material substance limited by space and perceptible to the senses in a multiplicity of forms. 35.1911encyclopedia.org /K/KA/KABBALAH.htm   (3231 words)

Tree of life (Kabbalah) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Some believe the tree of life of Kabbalah is the same as the Tree of Life in the first book of the Tanakh: the Book of Genesis, which is an important topic in and of itself in Judaism. The Sephirothic Tree is sometimes depicted as being a human body and, as such, is thought to symbolize the first "Heavenly" Man: Adam Kadmon who is identified by Manly Hall as the Idea of the Universe.

The Library , Reference Tables and Text files Kabbalah has divided along these two paths, and I believe it is accurate to say that traditional Jewish Kabbalah is predominantly mystical, with the emphasis on union with God, while non-Jewish Kabbalah is predominantly magical. The sephiroth are explored by using ritual magic to invoke the powers of the sephiroth for the purposes of initiation. Kabbalah is only a map (but for the record I believe it is an accurate and useful map), and the entrance to the territory lies within you. www.fortunecity.com /tinpan/bush/447/kabbalah/kabbalah_5.txt.htm   (9734 words)

Kabbalah Kabbalah, which is the spelling usually preferred by scholars, specifically refers to oral mystical teaching not normally revealed to the general population, but passed on from the adepts to the initiates. Although the Kabbalah is founded on the Torah, the Jewish scriptures and other sacred writings, it is no intellectual discipline; and the mystic is not to practice it in solitude, but is to employ it to enlighten humanity. The Kabbalah, which is based on the theory of the soul's descent from and ascent to God, is made up of ten sephirots instead of nine which is due to the influence of the Pythagorean theory. www.themystica.com /mystica/articles/k/kabbalah.html   (2867 words)

The Keys to Kaballah As is known to many students of Kabbalah, much of the information available dealing with the theory of the subject has been derived, in some cases through two or three generations, from various works published by members, or sometime members, of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Kabbalah teaches that we are in human form for the purpose of learning that we are so endowed, and to grow and develop by learning to bring the activity of Yechidah, or spirit, into the experience of life, discovering self-knowledge and self-realisation as we do so. Because it receives the energies of all the preceding principles or Sephiroth, and holds them in readiness for the consummation of their final expression in Malkuth, it is called by Kabbalists the receptacle of the emanations, and is represented in astrology by the Moon. m_euser.tripod.com /articles/keys_to_kabbalah.htm   (20256 words)

[No title] Kabbalah: A Real Basic Introduction Copyright by Karen Chapdelaine, 1994 A Beginning Many people when they start getting into magick, try to read someone like Crowley, Dion Fortune, W.E. Butler, etc., and become frustrated by all the reference to the Kabbalah (or Qabalah), of which they often know nothing. Lots of interesting Hebrew names of the Sephiroth, with their various meanings and attributions according to which author you are reading, and according to the classic Jewish scholars on the Kabbalah. I have found it very useful for me, at any rate, and offer it to others as an idea I think has merit and may be helpful for the beginning student in magick, once he or she progresses a little further on the path. www.digital-brilliance.com /kab/karen.txt   (1280 words)

Kabbalistic Dictionary The Shekinah is held captive by the Qlippoth which surround Malkuth and she is either freed or kept in bondage by the physical activities initiated by Zair Anpin. The Kabbalah teaches that the ten Sephiroth became reconstituted as five parzufim when the divine "breaking of the vessels" took place. The Sephiroth express Divine Attributes, which, from the primal instant of emanation, are eternally held in the set of relationships until God wills them to vanish. home.earthlink.net /~lyam/KABDICT.htm   (4094 words)

Encyclopedia article on Kabbalah [EncycloZine]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) "Kabbalah" is a doctrine of esoteric knowledge concerning God and the universe, asserted to have come down as a revelation to elect saints from a remote past, and preserved only by a privileged few. One of the most serious and sustained criticisms of Kabbalah is that it may lead away from monotheism, and instead promote dualism, the belief that there is a supernatural counterpart to God. Christian versions of Kabbalah began to develop; by the early 18th century some kabbalah came to be used by some hermetic philosophers, neo-pagans and other new religious groups. encyclozine.com /Kabbalism   (4274 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Kabbala These ten Sephiroth are emanations from the En-Soph, forming among themselves and with Him a strict unity, in the same way as the rays which proceed from the light are simply manifestations of one and the same light. Emanating immediately from this first world is the world of creation, the ten Sephiroth of which are of a more limited potency, and the substances of which are of the purest nature. Man was directly created not by En-Soph, but by the Sephiroth, and is the counterpart of the archetypal man. His body is merely a garment of his soul. www.newadvent.org /cathen/08590a.htm   (1192 words)

SEPHER YETZIRAH Ten are the numbers of the ineffable Sephiroth, ten and not nine, ten and not eleven. These ten Sephiroth which are, moreover, ineffable, have their end even as their beginning, conjoined, even as is a flame to a burning coal: for our God is superlative in his unity, and does not permit any second one. And as to this Decad of the Sephiroth, restrain thy lips from comment, and thy mind from thought of them, and if thy heart fail thee return to thy place; therefore is it written, "The living creatures ran and returned," and on this wise was the covenant made with us. www.sacred-texts.com /jud/yetzirah.htm   (3441 words)

Kabbalah World Center - "Ten Sephiroth" 8) The SEPHIROTH of the HEAD "CHOCHMOH" and "Binah", being "the brain" of the body of the SEPHIROTH are all inclusive, and as such, must be perceived as a unit wherein is found a variety of a thousand manifold SEPHIROTH, equivalent to the changes of the seasons of the year. It is for this reason that the Kabbalah compares the SEPHIROTH to "the layers of an onion". This ingathering of the sparks was for the purpose of issuing forth the ten SEPHIROTH of "ATZILUT" and of establishing the two spiritual phases. www.kabbalah.info /engkab/zohar/TEN_SEPHIROTH.htm   (718 words)
