Kabbalah with Anything

[Ms Tercy Lonan]

Kabbalah with Anything

In the “anything goes” spirit of today’s world, everything’s mixed
with everything else: science with religion, rock and roll with
Beethoven. There is even sushi ice cream (bet you didn’t know
that). Following the trend, Kabbalah has been associated with
more doctrines and teachings than there are toppings for pizza.
But there is another, more serious reason for the sudden
emergence of this ancient discipline. Kabbalah has always had a
reputation of possessing insight into the highest forces of nature,
of the spiritual worlds, and of the nature of God. As a result,
people have always wanted to connect Kabbalistic terms with all
kinds of teachings.
The problem with such connections is that they undermine the
power of Kabbalah to help us understand our human and spiritual
natures. This, after all, is at the heart of today’s interest in this
teaching, and the reason Kabbalah was developed in the first place.
So, to clear up any misconceptions, let’s look at what
Kabbalah is not. It is not, and has nothing to do with religion,
magic, mysticism, divination, cults, holistic medicine, meditation,
philosophy, theosophy, psychology or parapsychology, ESP,
telepathy, dream interpretation, tarot cards, yoga, red strings,
holy water, blessings, past-life regressions, numerology, reiki,
channeling, astrology, astral travels or projection, communicating
with the dead, out-of-body experiences, voodoo, freemasonry,
reflexology, UFO ’s, creationism, Sufism or any ism.
Kabbalah has been around for a long, long time and is only
now taking its place in the general public awareness. Those who
embrace it as the latest fad will perhaps move on to something
else. But those who dig deeply into its principles are likely to
find enough to keep them going for a lifetime.
In a Nutshell
Kabbalah is a method that answers life’s deepest
question: “What is the meaning of my life?”
Kabbalah has been waiting in hiding until the
questions it answers arose.
Kabbalah has been incorrectly associated with
many flavors of spiritual teachings.
Kabbalah is not a passing fad, but a time-tested,
practical method to understanding human nature
and the nature of the Creator.
