Kabbalah - The Zohar - resources

[Mina-Laura]

Dear All,

Today I received a gift and I was thinking that perhaps someone might be interested in it.

For those who don't know what Kabbalah is - here is a short funny clip "3 Things you should know about Kabbalah":  http://www.kabbalah.info/

However in my experience which is very very small - Kabbalah for those interested in is a map to human be-ing. Aspects of soul, ego and gaining insight in personal evolution.

This is the gift  "register here to receive your FREE Hebrew Zohar, all 23 volumes!"  http://www.freezohar.com/

After registration you may pick up the volumes at any local Kabbalah centre.

The volumes are in Aramaic, and apparently you don't need to know how to read it .. to my greatest surprise I was bestowed with a heavy box filled with beautifully bound volumes in a language I would really like to be able to read - but to my untrained eye they look like ants.

In our everyday lives, we use the letters of the English alphabet to form words, much as we might use bricks to build a wall. But the letters of the Hebrew alphabet (used for both Aramaic and Hebrew) are something very different. Kabbalah teaches that each letter is a channel to a unique form of energy–and this is true whether or not we know how the letter sounds, or how it fits into a given word.

Hi Dear Laura,

You are so amazingly resourceful!! I sensed a vibe to repeat a definition in the forums here in relation to what you are sharing:

""The entire journey in God is a journey in symbols, in which one is constantly aware of the higher realities within things.

Symbols are vehicles of transmission of Divine realities, which transform us by carrying us to the higher states of being from which they originate."

~ Laleh Bakhtiar, Sufi expressions of the Mystic Quest

This goes along with what you are sharing ~

Love always and thank you Laura,

Julia

As for myself I found out that understanding Kabbalah gave me the key to the bible stories, human nature, the Universe and above all my own self... how to fine tune a lot of not understood things before.

Kabbalah appeals to me because is practical science, the origin of metaphysics. In absence of old Hermes Trismegistus school is perhaps the next best thing. After all it seems that Abraham got a lot of his notions from the Emerald Tablet.
