- The word 'Kabbalah', coming from the Hebrew 'QBL' means 'to give','to receive' or 'tradition'. There are various alternative spellings, the two usual spellings being Kabbalah and Qabalah. Students of the Kabbalah hold that the core of the tradition is taken from the hidden inner meaning of the Torah (the first 5 books of the Bible), which is held to be the Word of God. Two Medieval books the 'Sepher Yetzirah', the Book of Zohar and the Book of Bahir have been the most influencial, detailing fundementals of Kabbalist beliefs, such as the Sephiroth or Spheres.

The second - called the "Maaseh Merkavah" or "Work of the Chariot" - is a process of united the separate consciousness of the individual with its Divine Source. The Tree of Life model overlaps with the fourfold mysteries of the Divine Name known as the Tetragrammaton. Both the Tree of Life and the Tetragrammaton delineate interdependent processes whereby multiplicity of consciousness and form evolve from the absolute Unity of Deity [1], and ultimately provide the means of Return ("Tshuvah") to individual consciousness of that Source. The Kabbalah teaches that all things emanate from the infinite universe into ten different categorical aspects, called the sephiroth. The most common model of the connections of these categories are called the Tree of Life and can be used as a formula to describe reality. The Tree of Life is organized into three columns of the ten sephiroth, the Pillar of Severity, Pillar of Mercy and Pillar of Mildness (Middle Pillar). This model is inherent to both the Maaseh B'reshit and the Maaseh Merkavah, the former being the process of existence - with it multiplicity of parts, divisions, and consciousnesses - unfolding from the Absolute Unity of the Divine State, the latter is the process of transcending the limits of material existence to unite the individual soul with its Source -- but with the duty to then communicate this experience within ones actions in the material realm. This system is at the root of many western mystical disciplines and is used to describe almost every aspect of the universe from the elements to God. The various stages of the unfolding of Creation (which are, in reverse, the stages of reunification) delineate the different levels of substance (from the purity of Divine Light down to the material elements) and of the soul (all parts of which are inherently Divine, but one part still purely "In God", down to that part immersed in the material body, with the illusory limitations of its appetites, instincts, and mortality). The basic division of these stages are the "sephiroth" (singular, "sephirah"), a word with the overlapping meanings of "Number" or "Counting", "Utterance", and "Writing".

More modern denominations, such as Reform and Conservative Judaism, think Kabbalah itself is nonsense but the academic study of Kabbalah is valid scholarship.

It has reached wide popularity via a shiny, Power-of-Positive-Thinking version that Madonna has been wearing since about 1997, but this is only one of the dozens of movements trying to claim the word as their own. Books about Kabbalah tend to have less in common with one another than books about cooking do. The word means "The Tradition" in Hebrew, and it usually means "The Secret Traditional Explanation of Everything," so it has been fights and collaborations between rivals since the beginning. Who wouldn't want to fight over that? The version of the Kabbalah that got big in the 13th century Spain was deeply entrenched in the Jewish religion and tended to deal with the questions that bothered 13th century Jews, such as "Why are we following these Laws?" "How did the Universe come about?" "What's with all these contradictions in the Bible?" They weren't new questions, but kabbalists found some new ways of asking them, usually by looking for hidden messages in the Torah using MATHS, reading Hebrew words as numbers, and numbers as the stuff the universe is made of. Particulars were debated, but the hidden message tended to be that the Universe is made of parts that are out of harmony, but if all Jews were to follow Jewish Law, the universe would be fixed. The Zohar and the writings of Abulafia are the classic from this period, the first being more like sacred adventure stories, and the second being training manuals for prophets. They both claimed to have the ancient secrets, but they disagreed on most specifics. And since then people have continued claiming that their newly discovered version of the ancient tradition is truer than all of the other newly discovered versions. In the Renaissance, Christians discover that the secrets were actually Christian secrets, and Masons later discover that those Christian secrets were also Egyptian or Babylonian secrets. People like Aleister Crowley discovered that these Masonic had always been magical secrets, or that they explained everything from Taoism to Quantum Physics. From the Jewish side, the "Ari" (an akronym meaning "Lion") Isaac Luria discovers some details about how our universe is on top of a shattered previous one, in the sixteenth century. Hasidism makes it folksy, dancey, and dynastic in the eighteenth century. The popular new ones are strange, but it would be hard to show that they were stranger than the ones that were new before. The Kabbalah is also known for the snazzy tree pattern known as the Tree Of Life, whose leaves are the Ten Sephirot, connected by 22 paths (each associated with one letter of the Hebrew alphabet). These ten spheres are connected in a pattern that shows how God emmanates into our level of reality.

These are detailed below. Kabbalah is described as a Sod level from four levels of Torah meaning:
* Peshat, the surface meaning of the text;
* Remez, allusions or allegories in the text
* Derash, a rabbinic or midrashic way of reading new lessons into the text
* Sod, the hidden mystical Kabbalistic reading of the Torah.

- Categoría: Ocultismo Categoría: Esoterismo La Kabbalah (o cábala, del hebreo קַבָּלָה qabbalah, ‘recibir’) es una forma de misticismo y, al mismo tiempo, una escuela de pensamiento esotérico en el judaísmo. Utiliza varios métodos más o menos arbitrarios para analizar sentidos recónditos de la Torá (texto sagrado de los judíos, el Pentateuco, que son los primeros cinco libros del Antiguo Testamento de la Biblia). En la antigua literatura judaica, la Kabbalah era el cuerpo total de la doctrina recibida, con excepción del Pentateuco. Hubo un tiempo en que los cristianos de Europa estudiaron la Kabbalah en la creencia falaz de que contenía conocimientos secretos acerca de la espiritualidad. Catalina II de Rusia, llamada la Grande, por ejemplo, quiso aprender hebreo, no como la lengua en que fue escrita la Biblia, sino para aprender acerca de la Kabbalah. Al final del siglo XIII, un judío español llamado Moses de León (Moshe ben Shem-Tov) sacó un libro llamado el Zohar. Era, según decía, una obra perdida por mucho tiempo. La gente le creyó. Para el siglo XVI, el Zohar se convirtió en el virtual manual del conocimiento místico para los cabalistas. Hay quienes piensan que el autor del libro fue Shimon bar Yojai, un rabino que vivió en Galilea. Esta nueva doctrina mantenía que cada palabra, e incluso cada letra de la Torá, tenía no solo una obvia interpretación, sino que poseía una esotérica también. Los secretos de la creación estaban disponibles para quien pudiera leer “entre líneas” los textos bíblicos. Cada detalle de las Escrituras era cuidadosamente escudriñada para descubrir los significados secretos. Calculando el mensaje oculto, los cabalistas describían un universo en el cual el destino de la humanidad y Dios están interconectados. El acto primigenio de la creación de Dios, de algún modo, resulto mal, por lo que la maldad entró al cosmos. Los humanos deberán sufrir hasta que defecto sea reparado. Para los cabalistas, reparar el universo es el supremo objetivo ético del judaísmo. Cada vez que un judío lleva a cabo el mitzvah (mandamiento), cada vez que se lleva a cabo un acto sagrado, o un buen acto, el mundo se mueve hacia un estado de reparación (o tikkun olam), donde la maldad, la enfermedad y la guerra ya no existirán. Algunos cabalistas creen que pueden predecir, leyendo y analizando las Escrituras, la llegada del mesías. Muchos mesías han aparecido con el tiempo, utilizando la autoridad de la Kabbalah para establecer su legitimidad. El más famoso fue Shabbetai Zevi, en el siglo XVII, quien al final se convirtió al Islam para evitar ser ejecutado por el sultán, quien consideraba que Zevi era una persona peligrosa y que podía armar una revolución con su movimiento religioso. La Kabbalah no puede ser juzgada por los falsos mesías que produjo. Su espiritualidad, consideran, llega a niveles más altos que el racionalismo puro. Los judíos exiliados de España se consolaban al saber que la Kabbalah les aseguraba que su mundo destrozado no era el estado último de existencia, ni la única experiencia humana posible. Los cabalistas desarrollaron su espiritualidad personal haciendo uso de la música y la meditación para lograr un trance de espiritualidad. Un famoso cabalista, Eleazar Azikri, compuso un poema muy conocido llamado Yedid Nefesh (יְדִיד נֶפֶש) cantado en los sabbaths y que se volvió muy popular. Cada una de sus cuatro estrofas comienza con una de las cuatro letras hebreas que constituyen el inefable nombre de Dios. En su diario personal, Azakri mencionó que recitaba el poema mientras observaba las cuatro letras hasta que las percibía como cuatro llamas juntándose en un fuego divino. El conocimiento del Zohar y de las últimas obras cabalísticas es muy esquivo, por lo que se requiere una gran maestría en todo el sistema místico. Los racionalistas del siglo XIX vieron la la Kabbalah como algo no digno de ser estudiado, por lo que fue ignorada durante mucho tiempo. Hoy en día, la Kabbalah a resurgido de nuevo en forma de pseudociencia y charlatanería. Existen centenares de libros que pretenden explicar cómo funciona la Kabbalah como si de un curso express se tratara. Incluso hay centros que tratan de orientar a los miembros en el buen uso de los preceptos contenidos en esta mística doctrina.
