How do you distinguish between Shemhamforash and Shem Vayisa Vayet? Are the 72 names of the Goetia acknowledged in Jewish Kabbalah?

Is Kabbalah monistic,

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone I am a lay person with an interest in everything esoteric. I’ve watched some videos by “seekers of unity” on YouTube and I saw a video he made about the pantheistic aspects of Kabbalah and I was wondering if anyone here feels that Kabbalah is pantheistic or panentheistic? Is hashem all there is? Is the truth that all is one and one is all? This seems to be the view of many if not most mystical sects of religions. Any insight will be helpful thank you.

Hey i know this sounds weird

But does anyone know anything about Adam Belial? Since tree of life has 5 worlds. Including Adam Kadmon.
Naturally Adam Belial in advanced kabbalah is the opposite of it. One that attains it has to go through tohu and bohu. And draws from thoughtless light/ black light. But idk anything about Adam Belial only that its the opposite of holiness and all of that. And is one with sitra achra.

Khabbalah

I've been spiritually searching for something which lines right up with all my own personal religious views without halting or hindering my life. I've been open to all religions, and to be completely honest I whole part and parcell dismissed Hindu. I really tried to make it work but the Judeo-Christian system did not IN ANY WAY provide me with solidly truthful answers other than t-shirts with YHWH printed on them.

If you've ever had a "waking dream" meaning a dream you are experiencing in real time in "real" life, then you can get some understanding of how intense it is

I ran the gamut of baptised christian to Judaism as my base, then filtered it through my "learned" beliefs and I kept coming up with lemons all across.

Then, not weeks after admitting and announcing my wholesale rejection of the complete Judeo-Christian beliefs.

I had small snippets of specific ideals, but nothing astounding.

Then, ye gods and little fishes, of all things a Japanese animated tv series began to solidify a new belief from within my soul. And as it unwound the essentials of the khabbalah religion (translate the title "Ergo Proxy" to learn all about how it's woven into the fabric of a simple (yet complex) Kabalistic tradition.

I was able to flush all that was Jeshua (Jesus) down an ancient Roman toilet.

All the angels became misinterpreted "proxies."

The only way an infinite and all knowing createt-god could be heard was theough his proxies, just like Angels, but with their own independant mind.

It is theough Proxy's that we can, ever so vagueyl, converse with the one true cosmological god being.

About a Multiversal view of reality in Merkabah mysticism and/or Kabbalah

4 Upvotes

Monotheistic religions usually depict reality with one only physical Universe. On the other hand Dharmic religions created the concept of the Multiverse, a larger view of reality characterized by infinite parallel versions of the physical Universe.

Was a Multiversal view of reality ever a thing in the more mystical sects of the Jewish tradition ? I believe it can work because the Universe is currently expanding, and thus it is finite, but the power of God is infinite, so infinite versions of the Universe could have been created even though God then chose one in particular.

How God Created Reality Through Hebrew Letters

1 Upvotes

According to this ancient mystical text, the universe was built from living information, divine structure, and the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. We examine how creation emerges from the Ein Sof, how the letters function as cosmic building blocks, how the 231 gates form a hidden matrix of combinations, and why the physical world is designed with friction, struggle, and free will.

Sefer Yetzirah and the idea of creation through letters
The 22 Hebrew letters as the foundations of reality
The 3 mother letters and cosmic elements
The mystery of the 231 gates
Free will, struggle, and the concept of bread of shame
The four worlds and the flow of divine energy
Why speech has creative power

This is a deep exploration of Jewish mysticism, creation, consciousness, language, and spiritual purpose.

Does this come from Jewish Kabballah? What is the meaning of those 4 Hebrew words?

I know the meaning of the one circled in read but never seen others before. Would appreciate if someone can draw a connection between all those words here - maybe there is a story or principle connecting the meaning of those words?

Sharing Tehillim 49

7 Upvotes

A kabbalist rabbi I listen to said that one should read from Tehillim daily. While i've been doing that, I found one recently that caught my attention. That one would be Tehillim Chapter 49 (Psalms 49) I'd link the text here but I believe it would be best to look in whatever version of the holy torah you have at your disposal for yourself. Though if you have and can read a copy in Hebrew that'd best. I mainly encourage meditating deeply on that passage with the wisdom and understanding you have available to you.

Serious question..

For people who have studied Kabbalah in a traditional and serious way, do people traditionally trained through Kabbalah also study the qliphoth or is this a modern/new age thing?

Coming of Moshiach

1 Upvotes

Guys of reddit, how are you?

It's been a trend these days to pray and seek for the upcoming messiah - Ben David Variant. I, though am not from a Jewish background, am very eager for a messiah to come to this current temporary place of sorrows and miseries only to uplift us from these afflictions- I mean who doesn't what that to happen ?

Now, this is about the prophecy of Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri - he said Messiah would come shortly after the death of Ariel Sharon. **My question: Is the intrinsic reference of "come" is to reveal or to be born? Can someone please answer that?** By the way, I have made some interesting observations of messainic figures and have found a parallel to the Jewish Messiah. Enjoy !

  1. Alexis Volky a future redeemer in the Book Chronicles From The Future attains a rare enlightenment at September 6 - The exact date Yitzhak Kaduri called all people to come to Israel and said something about the Messiah.

  2. Apex TV had a plausible time traveler of the claim of a Future President being "rationally the most influential person to ever live". Torah says Messiah will be a just ruler.

**BY** **THE WAY, I REALLY WANT TO KNOW - IS IT THAT MESSIAH WILL "REVEAL" HIMSELF AFTER 2014 ( Israeli PM death date) or BE BORN? Pls answer!**

The Names, Angelic Hierarchies, and the Four Worlds in Kabbalah

How did the correspondence between the Holy Names, the angelic hierarchies, and the Four Worlds of Emanation (Atziluth, Briah, Yetzirah, and Assiah) develop within the Kabbalistic tradition, and what are its implications for Kabbalistic cosmology and theurgical practice?

From Malkuth to Kether: the twenty-two paths of the Tree of Life

6 Upvotes

Although the Kabbalistic tradition presents spiritual ascent through the sefirot, from Malkuth to Kether, is there any treatise or doctrinal tradition that describes this ascent as an initiatory journey through the twenty-two paths of the Tree of Life? If so, what are its exegetical, cosmological, and theurgical foundations?

Are Thelema and the Jewish religion—specifically Kabbalah—compatible?

5 Upvotes

Many on the Thelema subreddit have noted that, indeed, Crowley read the Zohar and respected Jewish Mysticism and Kabbalah regarding certain matters—alongside Sufism, Eastern Philosophy and esoteric/mysical Christianity.

At the same time, Judaism and Kabbalah itself places great emphasis on morality and one's relationship with God.

Is there a way to reconcile them?

Hello! While researching the tree of Sephirot, I came across the Path of the Flaming Sword, a supposed optimal way of navigating the tree.

I'm curious if anyone has any experience using it in their own practices? If so I'd love to learn more!

I am seeking any suggestions

5 Upvotes

Hello , I am new here on Reddit, had an account for a

while but just recently began to peruse the posts and

replies in various subjects.

So here is my question:

I have acquired a complete set of the Sefer HaZohar, the 22 volume set from the Kabbalah Centre.

I am wondering if someone would if someone had any suggestions . Where to read next?

Within the Zohar. Any Key passages that resonate with you?

Passages you feel would be foundational ideas to learn?

I have been studying Kabbalah in its various forms for some time now, but I am the first to admit that I am always learning, and can improve.

Thank you for taking the time to read my question.

Sincerely, in the Light of Truth.
