Kabbalah is a mysterious branch of Judaism, and famous female singers Madonna and Sarah Brightman are great adherents of Kabbalahism. As a branch of Judaism, the esoteric Kabbalah religion has its origins dating back to the twelfth to thirteenth centuries, requiring adherents to adhere to an arduous meditative process and a strict ascetic lifestyle.

Originally derived from Judaism, the Kabbalah is a body of theology, philosophy, science, magic, and occultism, and is secretly passed down orally from teacher to student in Hebrew.

Although the Kabbalah is based on the Torah, the Jewish Bible, and other religious texts, it does not exist as intellectual training, and its mystery lies not only in its solitary practice, but also in its use to open up humanity for benevolence and fraternity. The Kabbalah pursued two things, one was union with God, and the other was socializing, family, and public life within the framework of Judaism, which had been passed down through generations. Later, those who adopted the Kabbalah teachings improved the content of the latter.

Legend has it that Kabbalah was to help people return to God. God taught Kabbalah to several angels, who in turn passed it on to Adam. It was passed on to Noah, to Abraham and Moses. But in the Pentateuch there are only the first four books. Deuteronomy is omitted. Seventy elders originally studied Kabbalah, and the elders who originally studied Kabbalah developed other parts of Kabbalah. They believe that King David and King Solomon were also Kabbalah practitioners. Eventually, this oral tradition finally came to an end, and Kabbalah's knowledge began to be written.

Many of the basic ideas and principles of Kabbalah are also found in Gnosticism. For the two were very close to each other in the eastern Mediterranean at the time of Christ.

Both have important knowledge attached to them (doctrines) that are not to be contemplated with rational and reasonable thoughts. But it can be inspired by God, in Gnosticism. People who are separated from God are ignorant, and their sins are not considered faults. Special "gnosis" can unite human beings with God and make people know that God is God. These people who can share "Gnostic" are the chosen ones, and they are the ones who inspire people to share the knowledge of God. Although some of them themselves do not reach a perfect state of life.

Kabbalah shares similar goals with Gnosticism. The various groups ask each other and answer a number of religious questions. For example. Why is there a world created by a "good" God that is good and bad, good and evil? Why did an infinite God create a finite world? Similar questions are about the world, about humanity, and all of these questions are about the connection between God and the world, and between God and humanity. And the ultimate question of these questions is how God, who is infinite and "all-knowing" and "all-good," can make people better understand Him.

Kabbalah seems to answer this question in two ways, one is that each of these ideas is contradictory, and God is the sum total of all these contradictory thoughts. Therefore. God is both good and evil, fair and unfair. The merciful is also cold, the infinite is finite, the unknowable and knowable, and all of these contain contradictions and relatives, combined into a whole, great God. From the first question can be drawn the second point of view of Kabbalah, which is the indirect connection of God with the world. God looks like the radiant light in a mirror, and these rays are reflected in the second mirror, and then to the third, and then to the fourth...... And so on, and in the process of this continued reflection, the light gradually loses a part of it, until it is completely dim and disappears into the infinite world.

This theory of the reflection of light is within the Kabbalah's theory of the creation of the world. The first God and the light emitted by God Himself (usually described as light) developed nine from the first origin, and these ten origins of light are called "sephiroth."

Source body

In the ancient Kabbalistic teachings, the light of the "sephiroth" constituted the divine name of God, and here it can be deduced that the "sephiroth" is the world and the universe, and God is the universe, so the "sephiroth" is an aspect of God, or a part, that is, a part of the universe. The origins of the Kabbalah revolve around a thin little book called the Sesferyetzirah (The Book of Creation). The date of its writing is unknown, but it is known that it was used in the 10th century, but it appears that the book was formed around the 3rd century. The book records the method by which God created the world by thirty-two mystical paths (emanating from the ten source bodies of the sephiroth) and the twenty-two letters of the Jewish alphabet, which Kabbalah believes are the ideas of the origin that later represent the original formation of the universe, as are the symbols.

The Tree of Life

Each of the ten "sephiroths" is called a "sephirot". Together, they are called the Tree of Life. This tree is the central image of Kabbalah meditation. Each "essena" describes an aspect of God, which, taken together, signifies God's divine name. This tree describes humanity's ascending path closer to God.

Another system used by the Gnostic and Kabbalah teachings** is that the spirit or soul of God descends from God and is confined to the human body and matter. This quickly became a common theory in the Mediterranean during the time of Christ. The teachings of these religions are a testament to what period such teachings can reflect. What people believe.

The first nine "essenic (sephirot)" together with the tenth "sephirot" as the base form three triangles. As you meditate in Kabbalah's sephiroth, you can focus on one of the three images represented by the three triangles. And this image. It is a reflection of God's relationship with humanity and with the world.

The first triangle represents the creation of the world and the baby by the man impregnating the woman. The second triangle represents the world and the growth and development of the child. The third triangle represents the adult and the finished world. These triangles also describe the human body. The first triangle; The head is the head, the second is the torso and arms, and the third is the legs and the man's God-like reproductive organs.

With the help of the "sephiroth", humanity climbs towards God. In an effort to obtain the meaning expressed at some point in each "essentia".

Attempting to traverse the "sephiroth" is extremely difficult, as each "sephirot" is divided into four parts, making up the four worlds of the universe. Aziluth Prototype; The world that shows the original shape of all things, the world created by Briah. It is the prototype of the evolution of the idea of the archetype, the world formed by Yetirah, he is the prototype of expression, the material world of Assirah.

The "sephiroth" is also divine to God. Agnostic. Unspeakable name: YHVH (Yahweh) or Tetragrammaaton. Tetragrammaaton is so sacred, just like the other names of God: Elohim, Adonai and Jehovah. The four letters yhvh are also in line with the four worlds.

Another expression of the "sephiroth" pattern is that the universe or world is made up of many layers, and the skin looks like an onion surrounded by layers. This was the general view of the world from ancient times to the sixteenth century. God dwells in the outer plane, the things most closely related to God are in the next inner plane, and the innermost thing is the outline of the material world. The divine soul of mankind descends from the outer God and reaches the inner material world.

This onion structure of the world is clearly shared by Gnosticism, whose Lord taught that God's spirit was confined to matter. Especially the human soul. The goal can only be achieved by mastering knowledge that allows the soul to escape from material constraints.

This Kabbalah is based on the theory that the soul descends to God or rises back to God. The arrangement of ten "essena" instead of nine "sephirots" was preceded by the Pythagorean theory that the earth was separated as a separate sphere, with seven "essena (sephirots)" above it matching the planets, and the two topmost planets matching the primary prime mover or God.

The sephirot is guarded by archangels who are determined to change the direction of those who approach God upwards, and at the bottom of the sephirot are a great deal of evil wisdom that can easily lead souls into ignorance, and Kabbalah controls some people to attain union with God before they die.

The refinement and interpretation of the Kabbalah went on for a whole century, and in the tenth century the practice of the Kabbalah was introduced to Italy and spread throughout Germany. These include fanatical practice, magical rituals, important prayer techniques, gaze, and meditation. These techniques were also influenced by Gematria, Motarikon, and Temurah. In the thirteenth century, in Provence, in the south of France, the classical Kabbalah was born, and the Hebrews of Spain developed it in Spain. Chief among these offerings is the Sefer; bazohar）。 This process of development until the Jews seem to have lost their spirituality. A year later, a rabbi meditating in a cave heard a voice from the heart telling him to teach those who were ready to learn and to set ordinary people on the path. Based on this prompting, the "zohar" was developed and the teachings were recorded by the believers.

Primarily, "zohra" describes God as "emsof" (endless) God as unknowable. An incomprehensible symbol that he created the world from himself, it is primarily dedicated to the attainment of complete union with God by man. And all of this is reflected in a higher world, where nothing can be outside of it. In this way, humanity is united to God by elevating the soul, and also to the other entities in the universe.

The nine sephirots in the "sephiroth" and the tenth "sephirot" as the base form three triangles. These triangles are arranged vertically or horizontally, and there is a balance between the masculine (determinative) and feminine (negative) principles and the neutral equilibrium principle, which is always on the right or at the top of the triangle, and the feminine principle is always at the left or bottom of the triangle. For example: The first triangle contains kether; chokmah and; binah。

The three principles of the sephiroth are arranged from right to left because the Hebrew way of writing was from right to left. These principles are functionally consistent with their characteristics and essence, and in general. The masculine principle, sometimes referred to as the attribute of strength, is based on certainty, positivity, and vitality. Characterized by ruthlessness. The principle of femininity is said to be a combination of good and evil and ominous. The intricate principles of femininity are composed. The opposition of these feminine principles is sometimes negative and positive, sometimes amorous and cold, and even gentle and cruel. The principle between the masculine and the feminine principle, considered "hermaphroditic", plays the role of reconciling the opposing sides.

For example, in the first triangle, the masculine principle chodmah is opposed to the feminine principle binah, which are imagined as father and mother, respectively. Chokmah is called the wisdom of a positive God. Binah, on the other hand, is the understanding of passive God, and kether is the principle of harmony between the two. But in modern Kabbalari. This principle is inexorable, respecting two opposing principles that bring creative meaning. In the second triangle, the father, mother and child are Chesed, Geburah and Tiphareth. The chesed (masculine principle) is kind, benevolent, and able to teach and protect the father of the child. The geburah (feminine principle) is the mother of the harsh, **, dismantling of what has been built up by the accumulation of chesed. This triangle; The principle of maintaining equilibrium is tiphareth, which belongs to the solar sphere and is therefore often used to compare with the sun. Its function is to combine the characteristics of chesed and geburah, and to compare it more frequently with nature. Thphareth may be a warm sun that gently shines on humans, animals, and crops, while it can also be an intense, scorching fire that suffocates humans and kills animals and crops. Christ Kabbalah likens Tiphareth's relationship with Christ to that of a father and a Son who has fallen from the tree of life. Tiphareth is a force of life that leads people to true life, just as Christians say that it promises eternal life. In the earliest days of Christianity, there was a symbol of Christ being associated with the sun.

The third triangle represents the child's journey from birth to adulthood. These "sephirots" symbolize the struggle between animal strength and the mind, and the zach (masculine principle) represents endurance and the victory of God, a characteristic that represents the unchanging, eternal natural drive that allows man to take necessary action and invent to replace it. He was confronted with the hod (feminine principle), which contained imagination, inspiration, insight, and intuition that was praised by the Kabbalah devotees. The hod also contains the power of reason and the ability to logic that is doubted by the Kabbalah devotees. That is, it is the repressed unnatural capacity of human beings. Yesod is the child fully grown and coordinates the two "essentia (sephirot)" zach and hod. Sex and psychology work together to produce mature yesod, and it is in the lunar sphere, so yesod is the best possible outcome in zach and hod. But this result may not be the best treasure for a person, for the moon is the ruler of the night and the light of darkness, and yesod's dark and deep personality is often hidden and not easily discovered, but it is also large enough.

yesod is a latent magical force that, when fully grown, will itself carry the wizard's highest psychic abilities, bestiality, and sexiness**. Yesod is also imagined as a connection between the tiphareth (sun or life force) and the malduth (earth or body).

The malkuth, which is the base of the "source body" (sephiroth) or tree of life, is the earth. This is appropriate because all that belongs to God is found on earth. Because all the principles are found on the earth that is the basis of the "sephiroth", and the hydrogen malkuth is the "kingdom" of God, all the ideas and the contradictions between them are found on the earth.

These may all be kept in the third triangle, especially in Zach's fight with Hod. This also shows the clear difference between the Kabbalah and other sects in the world. The Gnostics say the same. In the teachings of Kabbalah and Gnosticism, reason and logic are not credible, and the reason given for this is similar: they inhibit man's natural faculties.

The current view is that the attitude may show that God's thinking is different from that of ordinary people, in Kabbalah and Gnosticism, God does not limit people, but allows people to improve themselves through knowledge, whereas God is limited by ordinary people, or that God is artificially created by God to limit them.

The mystical rituals and practices of the Kabbalah were accepted by the Quartet and vice versa, and in the sixteenth century, the symbolic symbolism of alchemy entered the Kabbalah of Christ, which in turn was used to prove the divinity of Christ.

aleister; Crowley aligns the hierarchy and hierarchy of his mystical organization with the "sephirot" in the "sephiroth", a.a., astrum; argentium，hesilverstar。 And Kabbalah is also associated with numerology, tarot, astrology. Although some have criticized these connections for not working together perfectly. (To be continued......)
