Kabbalah, Mysticism, Hermeticism - Esoteric Teachings of the Mystery Schools

[Winston]

Wow check out this intro video about Jewish Kabbalah and Mysticism. It's very fascinating. Apparently, this is one of the oldest metaphysical/esoteric/occult/mystical traditions in the world and goes back as far as Hinduism and Egyptology perhaps. It's at the root of Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, and other ancient mystery schools that were reserved for initiates and adepts only. But now many of its secrets are revealed openly on the internet and YouTube. If anyone is interested in esoteric teachings and knowledge, then this is your cup of tea. This is very fascinating and mind blowing and awe inspiring!

(Note that "Kabbalah" is also sometimes spelled as "Cabala" and "Qabbalah" and other variations too.)

Jewish Mysticism Explained | Exploring Kabbalah

Was Adam, the first human in the Hebrew Bible, the first mystic? Why does tradition hold that one should not study Jewish mysticism -- known as Kabbalah-- until age 40? Where were the centers of Jewish mystical teaching before the city of Safed in the northern mountains of Israel rose to become the hub of Kabbalah in the 15th century? Learn the answers to these questions, as well as how Kabbalah took root in Jewish life and culture, in the first episode of the AIB series, "Exploring Kabbalah."

Here is a new video series called "Kabbalah Revealed". Here is episode 1 of 16.

Anthony Kosinec introduces "what Kabbalah is" and "what Kabbalah isn't" in this overview of some of its basic concepts, and the difference between authentic Kabbalah and how Kabbalah is popularly viewed. He speaks from the perspective of "practical Kabbalah," as taught today by Rav Michael Laitman, PhD. Essentially, this is the process of how to reveal Kabbalah's hidden aspect: the Upper Worlds—what is hidden behind our five senses.

Kosinec explains that understanding the Kabbalistic "language of branches" is the key to starting a practical application of Kabbalah. He also puts across that a misunderstanding of this language is the reason Kabbalah has been misinterpreted in myriad ways—as religion, mysticism, magic, and many others—and that the key to start applying Kabbalah practically is to first understand that its language only describes the Upper Worlds: higher levels of consciousness completely removed from everything we receive through our five senses. From this basis, one can begin learning what one can do in order to attain these higher levels of consciousness. http://www.kabbalah.info

History Channel documentary on the Kabbalah. Wow it says even Madonna and Britney Spears are Kabbalists.

[Shemp]

I studied all this back in the late 1990's when I was deeply interested in Tarot, Astrology, Aleister Crowley and his Magick theories, etc. Good stuff, but sexual kung fu is much more important. Read Mantak Chia's books, or at least watch his videos.

[Neo]

I would stay away from all of the above mentioned. Kabbalah is nothing but veiled Satanic worship. Stay far, far away. Please don't serve the wrong god.

Thoth's Prophecy from the Hermetic Texts. Wow this prophecy is really accurate about the modern world. Whoever wrote this or said this knew what would happen it seems.

[Winston]

God first created the mystical Sefirot – 10 divine channels through which His infinite light could be condensed, contracted, and then released as individualized attributes that could eventually give rise to a diversity of finite creations.

Let’s go through them one by one.



Short video about how Kabbalah began.

[Winston]

This is the first video in a lecture presentation exploring the Philosophers Stone, Alchemy, Kabbalah, Chakras, The Bible, Jungian Psychology and the Tree of Life. This is an in-depth presentation and I don't recommend this for people new to studying religion. I mention other videos that are better to start out with. Here we explore the dreaming and religious symbolism of stones, rocks, and crystals. From there, we move into seeing how Alchemy, Charkas, and Kabbalah build a roadmap to achieving high levels of realization through similar 7 step systems. The Caduceus, The Corpus Hermeticum, and Hermeticism are all explored here in this compelling presentation.

Rabbi giving good spiritual advice about the Kabbalah. He runs a center called Meaningful Life Center. Wow what a nice sounding name for an organization.





The ancient mystical teachings of Kabbalah -- once obscure and unknown -- has recently become popular and even fashionable. Or has it? Do we really know what Kabbalah is? What does the word even mean? What do these teachings offer us?

Tonight is Lag B'Omer, the anniversary of Rabbi Shimeon Bar Yochai's passing. Rabbi Shimeon, or Rashbi, is the "father" of Kabbalah. He authored the Zohar -- the classical esoteric work, which is the foundation of mysticism, laying out a blueprint of the divine and the spiritual framework of the universe and beyond.

Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson in this special Lag B'Omer presentation, as he explains the surprising meaning of the word Kabbalah. Once we know its true definition, we can then take a journey into the mystical and mysterious chambers of our psyches and of the cosmos -- and come away with a new way of looking at life and new methods to achieve transcendence and live the most fulfilling life possible. The inner workings of Kabbalah -- as first taught by Rashbi, and further developed in subsequent generations -- opens for us up enthralling vistas and unparalleled opportunities to build glorious lives and relationships, always brimming with unexpected possibilities.

Wow check out the Rosicrucian Order (AMORC), one of the major mystery schools from Europe. They are accepting open membership too. See here.

Is this a gateway or entrance into the Illuminati network? Or a genuine mystery school for good purpose? Would it help us to join it?

[Winston]

Explanation of the Tree of Life in Kabbalah. Very interesting and esoteric.

Explanation of what Hermeticism is, if anyone is interested.
