What is Kabbalah?
Kabbalah is a Hebrew word which can be translated as received or accepted wisdom, or received tradition. It comes from a root Hebrew verb meaning to receive, get or accept (another unrelated meaning of the root is to make parallel – very significant in that it tells us that Kabbalah has tools to help us make choices of pathways freely available to us!). The object of this reception is knowledge and information that has been (made) available to humankind since the dawn of creation concerning our origins and who in fact we are. In that, Kabbalah is an advanced information-wisdom system that incorporates the principles of Life, Love, and Light – the 3L’s! The most fundamental of the concepts of Kabbalah – is that there exists a unifying and integrative Source of all of creation from which all is born and all imbued with the “signature” (the “virtual DNA”) of the Creator – that Creator is pure being itself, beyond the created and ultimately beyond human conception or comprehension.

Although its origins are rooted in deep antiquity, from the time of ancient Babylon, the science of Kabbalah has remained virtually hidden from humanity since it appeared more than four thousand years ago. This very concealment has sustained Kabbalah’s undying allure. Renowned scientists and philosophers of many countries, such as Newton, Leibniz, and Pico della Mirandola, have investigated and tried to understand the science of Kabbalah. However, to this very day only a few know what Kabbalah really is. The science of Kabbalah does not speak about our world, and therefore its essence escapes people. It is impossible to comprehend the invisible, the imperceptible, and that which has not been experienced. For thousands of years, humanity was offered a wide variety of things under the name “Kabbalah”: spells, curses, and even miracles, all except for the science of Kabbalah itself. For over four thousand years, common understanding of the science of Kabbalah has been cluttered with misco
Kabbalah predates any religion or theology. It was given to mankind by the Creator, without any prerequisites or preconditions. According to kabbalistic teachings, the universe operates according to certain supremely powerful principles. By learning to understand and act in accordance with these precepts, we will vastly improve our lives today, and ultimately we will achieve true fulfillment for ourselves and for all humanity. Just as basic physical laws such as gravity and magnetism exist independently of our will and awareness, the spiritual laws of the universe influence our lives every day and every moment. Kabbalah empowers us to understand and live in harmony with these laws — to use them for the benefit of ourselves and the world. Kabbalah is much more than an intellectually compelling philosophical system. It is a precise description of the interwoven nature of spiritual and physical reality — and it is a full complement of powerful, practical methods for attaining worthy goa
Kabbalah is difficult to categorize because it is a subjective non-falsifiable belief system. In other words, it rests in non-verifiable philosophy, not in historic fact. Nevertheless, kaballah is a mystical and esoteric system of observing and interpreting the universe and mankind that also seeks to reveal the true relationship between God, man, and the universe. It teaches that there is a divine being which is neither male nor female that has 10 primary aspects called sephirot which are represented in the Tree of Life (see diagram to the left). Kabbalah teaches that the supreme being created the universe through a series of those 10 aspects that descended through various levels until creation was fully realized. There are slightly different definitions of the word “Kabbalah”. One source says it comes from the three Hebrew kbl which means “reception”. Another source says “Kabbalah is a word meaning “tradition.”1 Kabbalah is also know as cabala, cabalah, kabala, caballah, qabala, qabal
