Type of Jewish mysticism Kabbalah (Hebrew: קַבָּלָה Qabbālā, literally "reception, tradition"[1][a]) is an esoteric method, discipline and school of thought in Jewish mysticism.[2] A traditional Kabbalist is called a Mekubbal (מְקוּבָּל Məqūbbāl "receiver").[2] The definition of Kabbalah varies according to the tradition and aims of those following it,[3] from its origin in medieval Judaism to its later adaptations in Western esotericism (Christian Kabbalah and Hermetic Qabalah). Jewish Kabbalah is a set of esoteric teachings meant to explain the relationship between the unchanging, eternal God—the mysterious Ein Sof (אֵין סוֹף, "The Infinite")[4][5]—and the mortal, finite universe (God's creation).[2][4] It forms the foundation of mystical religious interpretations within Judaism.[2][6] Traditions[edit] Peshat (Hebrew: פשט lit.

La Cabalà : La Sapienza Della Veritá. La Cabalà. La Cabalà è la sapienza mistica e spirituale contenuta nella Bibbia ebraica. La Cabalà offre degli insegnamenti potenti e profondi, capaci di dare gioia e soddisfazione a tutti i ricercatori di Dio e della verità. La Cabalà è un aiuto indispensabile al processo di trasformazione della consapevolezza umana, personale e collettiva, che è la più grande opera alla quale tutti siamo tutti chiamati. Nel passato la Cabalà. era nota solo a pochi iniziati meritevoli. Questa espressione è presente nel capitolo 30 dei Proverbi di Salomone. La nostra scuola è del tutto non settaria. Il proposito principale della nostra scuola è quello di diffondere la conoscenza della Cabalà ebraica, ma nelle sue forme più universali, compatibili con la presente cultura umanistica e scientifica.
Una particolare attenzione viene data alla meditazione e all'espressione artistica, musica e canto sacro. Gli insegnamenti dati si intrecciano con le conoscenze delle scienze naturali e della psicologia. I mondi della Cabala. Di Luca Delli Santi La mistica ebraica è un complesso sistema di pratiche e di meditazioni volte alla contemplazione delle emanazioni divine, quali le sephirot e le lettere dell’Aleph-Bet.
Si tratta dei mattoni e della malta con cui si è edificata l’intera Creazione. I cabalisti, divisi nelle loro diverse scuole, hanno strutturato un complesso sistema esegetico ed ermeneutico delle Scritture, in molti casi è assimilabile con quello di altri correnti rabbiniche dell’ebraismo in altri, come osserva il filologo Giulio Busi, se ne distacca costituendo un corpo di insegnamenti originale, pur rimanendo saldamente ancorato nella cultura e nelle teologia ebraica. La Cabala ha una propria struttura ermeneutica riguardo la Torah ed in particolare riguardo la cosmologia.
Questo sistema graduale viene definito come una pluralità di realtà: i Mondi della Cabala. La seconda tappa è il Sod Ha’Tzimtzum, il Segreto della Contrazione. Hermetic Kabbalah. Hermetic Qabalah. Teachings[edit] Conception of Divinity[edit] A primary concern of Hermetic Qabalah is the nature of divinity, its conception of which is quite markedly different from that presented in monotheistic religions; in particular there is not the strict separation between divinity and humankind which is seen in monotheisms.[2] Hermetic Qabalah holds to the neoplatonic conception that the manifest universe, of which material creation is a part, arose as a series of emanations from the godhead.[3] The Sephiroth in Hermetic Qabalah[edit] From Ain Suph Aur crystallises Kether, the first sephirah of the Hermetic Qabalistic tree of life.
From Kether emanate the rest of the sephirot in turn, viz. Kether (1), Chokhmah (2), Binah (3), Daath, Chesed (4), Geburah (5), Tiphareth (6), Netzach (7), Hod (8), Yesod (9), Malkuth (10). Each sephirah is a nexus of divine energy and each has a number of attributions. Tarot and the Tree of Life[edit] Relation to Western Magic, Alchemy and Astrology[edit] History[edit] Le Origini della Kabbalà. Fa veramente piacere constatare che il progresso e la diffusione della cultura abbiano fatto piazza pulita, ormai da qualche decennio, delle spontanee associazioni mentali che venivano suggerite dalla parola Cabala, Alchimia e simili. L’Alchimia faceva subito pensare a un esercito di cialtroni o, nel caso migliore, ad esseri ancora primitivi che passavano la vita chini su fornelli, dai quali lunghe ebollizioni di sterco, o altre sostanze avrebbero dovuto far scaturire monete d'oro; la cabala, invece, induceva piuttosto il pensiero alla smorfia e al gioco del Lotto.Non molto discosta da questa era anche la mentalità degli studiosi; per cui ricerche monumentali come quelle del Kopp e del Lippmann sull'alchimia erano viziate dal fondamentale pregiudizio di voler prendere la storia dell'alchimia per una preistoria, in verità alquanto bizzarra della chimica moderna (su questa stessa linea è, per esempio la voce "alchimia" dell'Enciclopedia Treccani).
Kabbale et Talmud, quelle différence ? Le grand spécialiste de la kabbale, Gershom Scholem, révèle dans son ouvrage fondamental et passionnant intitulé Les origines de la kabbale, la parenté structurale de la kabbale en son noyau rationnel avec la doctrine du grand philosophe et théologien Jean Scot (Erigène). C’est entre 864 et 866 que Erigène, premier traducteur latin de Grégoire de Nysse, Denys l’Aréopagite et Maxime le Confesseur composa le De Divisione Naturae (ou Periphyseon) cette « immense épopée métaphysique » (Gilson), dont les éditions PUF ont fourni la traduction des quatre premiers livres. L’indispensable édition bilingue latin / anglais est disponible à Dublin. Le livre 5 (non traduit) est consultable en libre accès à la Bibliothèque Mazarine.
Au chapitre 3, commentant les premiers kabbalistes en Provence, Scholem trouve les sources non identifiées du côté des textes latins d’Erigène. Au chapitre 4, Scholem traite la question du centre kabbalistique de Gérone. Cela dit, Scholem reste prudent sur ses conclusions. Ari Online Kabbalah Education Center. The 72 Names of God | The Kabbalah Centre. The ancient Kabbalist Rav Shimon bar Yochai wrote in the Zohar that it was Moses, not God, who parted the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to narrowly escape Pharaoh and the Egyptian army.
In order to accomplish this miracle, Moses combined the power of certainty with a very powerful spiritual technology. He had possession of a formula that literally gave him access to the subatomic realm of nature. The formula Moses used to overcome the laws of nature has been hidden in the Zohar for 2000 years. This formula is called the 72 Names of God. Not names like Betty, Bill and Barbara, but rather 72 sequences composed of Hebrew letters that have the extraordinary power to overcome the laws of nature in all forms, including human nature. Though this formula is encoded in the literal Biblical story of the parting of the Red Sea, no rabbi, scholar, or priest was aware of the secret. The 72 Names are each 3-letter sequences that act like an index to specific, spiritual frequencies. Meyrink & the Golem. Gustav Meyrink's The Golem, which is celebrating its centenary, is one of the most absorbing, atmospheric and mind-boggling slices of fantasy ever committed to print.
Part dream-like expressionist melodrama, part creepy horror, part eerie evocation of the magical city of Prague and its shadow-haunted ghetto, The Golem occupies a singular niche in fantastika. And it is hard to re-read without placing the narrative against the clouds of war which were gathering over Europe during the book's initial serial publication. For the duration of its first publication in serial form from December 1913, the political manoeuvring that led to the Great War was rumbling along in the background of European life. When the final instalment of The Golem was published in August 1914, war had just broken out. Meyrink began writing it in 1907, so The Golem cannot really be read as an allegory for the first world war. Born in Vienna in 1868, Meyrink spent 20 years as a bank director in Prague. Sefirot. Ten emanations in Kabbalah Sefirot (; Hebrew: סְפִירוֹת, romanized: Səfīrōt, Tiberian: Săp̄īrōṯ),[1] meaning emanations, are the 10 attributes/emanations in Kabbalah, through which Ein Sof (The Infinite) reveals itself and continuously creates both the physical realm and the chain of higher metaphysical realms (Seder hishtalshelus).
The term is alternatively transliterated into English as sephirot/sephiroth, singular sefirah/sephirah, etc. Alternative configurations of the sefirot are interpreted by various schools in the historical evolution of Kabbalah, with each articulating differing spiritual aspects. The tradition of enumerating 10 is stated in the Sefer Yetzirah, "Ten sefirot of nothingness, ten and not nine, ten and not eleven". In Hasidic philosophy, which has sought to internalise the experience of Jewish mysticism into daily inspiration (devekut), this inner life of the sefirot is explored, and the role they play in man's service of God in this world. Ein Sof[edit] [edit] Sefiroth. Pitagorismo e Sepher Yetzirah - Sapienza Misterica. Il Sepher Yetzirah (Jetzirah) o Libro della Formazione, è un trattato Cabalistico molto antico, anche se la critica lo attribuisce al VI secolo, fu scritto a babilonia dal Rabbi Akiba, che fu il maestro e istruttore di Simeon Ben Iochai, detto il principe dei cabalisti e autore del Zohar.
Franck afferma che lo Jetzirah fu scritto un secolo a.C. (Die Kabbala, 65). Le opere misteriche cabaliste come il Siphrah Dzeniutha, il Sepher Yetzirah, lo Zohar di Simeon Ben Iochai si rifanno tutti a una tradizione o insegnamento primordiale. Gli Ebrei dopo la prima distruzione del Tempio furono portati a Babilonia tra i Caldei.
A Babilonia il dotto scriba Esdra riscrisse il Pentateuco. Tutto ciò che gli Ebrei sapevano lo avevano ricevuto da popoli più vecchi di loro. I magi caldei erano stati i loro maestri della dottrina segreta, e durante la cattività di Babilonia ne impararono gli insegnamenti metafisici e pratici. Il Libro della formazione si occupa di 4 argomenti: Metatron. Origins[edit] The identification of Metatron with Enoch is not explicitly made in the Talmud although it does reference a Prince of the World who was young but now is old. However, some of the earliest kabbalists assumed the connection. There also seems to be two Metatrons, one spelled with six letters (מטטרון), and one spelled with seven (מיטטרון).
The former may be the transformed Enoch, Prince of the Countenance within the divine palace; the latter, the Primordial Metatron, an emanation of the "Cause of Causes", specifically the tenth and last emanation, identified with the earthly Divine Presence.[6] Furthermore, the Merkabah text Re’ uyot Yehezkel identifies the Ancient of Days from Daniel as Metatron.[5] Talmud[edit] The Talmud states, it was proved to Elisha that Metatron could not be a second deity by the fact that Metatron received 60 "strokes with fiery rods" to demonstrate that Metatron was not a god, but an angel, and could be punished.[5] Etymology[edit] See also[edit] Binah (Kabbalah) Third sephira on the kabbalistic Tree of Life Binah is 'intuitive understanding', or 'contemplation'.
It is likened to a 'palace of mirrors' that reflects the pure point of light of Chokhmah, wisdom, increasing and multiplying it in an infinite variety of ways. In this sense, it is the 'quarry', which is carved out by the light of wisdom. It is the womb, which gives shape to the Spirit of God. On a psychological level, Binah is "processed wisdom," also known as deductive reasoning. It is davar mitoch davar—understanding one idea from another idea. Binah is associated with the feminine. In its fully articulated form, Binah possesses two partzufim. In the medieval text the Tomer Devorah, Moses ben Jacob Cordovero elucidated the ethical qualities associated with each sefira, which one must attempt to imitate. In Western esotericism, Binah is seen to take the raw force of Chokhmah, and to channel it into the various forms of creation.
Bahir, translated by Aryeh Kaplan (1995). Temurah (Kabbalah) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There are three simple forms of Temurah: Atbash: Replacing the first letter with the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, the second with the next-to-last, and so on. א=ת, ב=ש, ג=ר, etc. Avgad: Replacing each letter with the preceding letter. א→ב, ב→ג, ג→ד Albam: Replacing the first letter of the alphabet with the twelfth, the second with the thirteenth, and so on. א=ל, ב=מ, ג=נ, etc. Gematria. Assigning a numerical value to a name, word or phrase based on its letters Gematria (; Hebrew: גמטריא or Gimatria גימטריה, plural גמטראות or גמטריאות, gematriot)[1] is an alphanumeric code of assigning a numerical value to a name, word or phrase based on its letters.
A single word can yield multiple values depending on the cipher used. Gematria originated as an Assyro-Babylonian-Greek system of alphanumeric code or cipher that was later adopted into Jewish culture. [dubious ] Similar systems have been used in other languages and cultures: earlier, the Greek isopsephy, and later, derived from or inspired by Hebrew gematria, Arabic abjad numerals, and English gematria. Etymology[edit] Although the term is Hebrew, it may be derived from the Greek γεωμετρία geōmetriā, "geometry", which was used as a translation of gēmaṭriyā, though some scholars believe it to derive from Greek γραμματεια grammateia "knowledge of writing".
Traditional fields of use[edit] Textual sources[edit] Values table[edit] Notarikon. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Notarikon (Hebrew: נוטריקון Noṭriqōn) is a Talmudic and Kabbalistic method of deriving a word, by using each of its initial (Hebrew: ראשי תיבות) or final letters (סופי תיבות) to stand for another, to form a sentence or idea out of the words. Another variation uses the first and last letters, or the two middle letters of a word, in order to form another word.[1] The word "notarikon" is borrowed from the Greek language (νοταρικόν), and was derived from the Latin word "notarius" meaning "shorthand writer.
"[2] The term is mostly used in the context of Kabbalah. Usage in the Talmud[edit] Until the end of the Talmudic period, Notariqon is understood in Judaism as a common method of Scripture interpretation by which the letters of individual words in the Bible text indicate the first letters of independent words. Usage in Kabbalah[edit] Sefer Gematriot is another example where many Notarikons for usage on talismans are given from Biblical verses.[5] Abraham Abulafia. Tikkun. Tzimtzum. Ein Sof. Ein Sof.
