Beyond Madonna - Kabbalah According
To The Scholars
Robert Waxman
When I began studying
Kabbalah in 1985, very few people knew anything about Kabbalah. Now,
thanks to Madonna, the word “kabbalah” has become a hot topic of
conversation in the media, on the internet and at cocktail parties.
Along with this fabulous publicity, many people have asked, “Is Kabbalah
a cult?”, “Is it a religion?” and, “Is it only for Jewish people?” So,
the time has come to clarify what Kabbalah is, and what it’s not.
Kabbalah is not a cult. There are some Kabbalah organizations that have
a cult-like atmosphere, but this is a common abuse of trust that
develops in all faith-based movements.
Kabbalah is not a religion. Kabbalah is an ancient, universal, wisdom
tradition that’s existed since time immemorial.
Kabbalah is not just for Jewish people. All faiths and denominations are
welcome to study and learn the beauty of Kabbalistic truths. The first
proposition in Kabbalah includes unity, oneness and universal love.
Kabbalah is truly for everyone!
Kabbalah holds the key to many mysteries of The Bible. For thousands of
years it was known as “The Oral Wisdom Tradition” which was passed down
from one generation to the next by word of mouth. Kabbalah offers
answers to many of the most profound questions ever asked by the
greatest minds that have ever lived:
1) How did the universe begin?
2) What is the purpose of life?
3) What happens after death? and;
4) Are we spiritual beings having a physical experience? Or are we
physical beings having a spiritual experience?
These are just a few of the questions that Kabbalah can explain in
detail. When Kabbalah is studied in universities, students are required
to read classic books written by the great scholars. Three of these
brilliant scholars include: Gershom Scholem, Aryeh Kaplan and Isaiah
Tishby. These teachers/authors have made essential contributions to the
study of Kabbalah. These intellectuals have made it possible to separate
fact from fiction, so Kabbalah can be studied as a serious subject of
inquiry.
To many people, Kabbalah seems to be a collection of wild fables,
volumes of words and numbers, vague symbolism and inconsistent methods
of decoding the secrets of The Bible. This is why it’s so important to
study the teachings of the great scholars. These critically acclaimed
writers spent their lives researching, translating and interpreting the
true teachings of Kabbalah. Their explanations are factual, logical and
solely based upon the original texts written by the most influential
Kabalists throughout history.
Kabbalah is not a haphazard collection of facts. It is based on the
fundamental natural laws of the universe, and the unfolding of these
laws as they evolve outwardly. These teachings are derived from
timeless, universal truths that lead to inner illumination.
Kabbalah is not taught as a speculation. It is a body of knowledge that
can split into sections, and then understood as a whole. Some students
may be confused after separating the teachings into various categories,
but they will eventually understand the full meaning of Kabbalah, when
these sections come together and form one unified philosophy.
A natural question for the student of Kabbalah to ask is: "What type of
activities should be supported in this busy world of family, career and
daily responsibilities?" The student of Kabbalah is a friend to all
movements of pure intent. Students should select for themselves their
favorite fields of activities and pursue them with passion and
enthusiasm.
The true Kabalist is a philanthropist, an honest upright individual, and
one who has a genuine feeling of love, compassion and respect for all
humankind.
