Kabbalah - Kabbala

Eines gleich vorweg: Ein ziehmlich schwieriges Thema. Dies wird nicht der letzte Post dazu sein.
In front: A very difficult topic. This will not be the last entry to this subject.

In Judaism, Kabbalah means literally "what has been handed down", i.e. Tradition. The idea is that just as there is a written scripture or Divine Revelation, the "Revealed Torah (Law)", this being the Pentateuch (the so-called first five books of Moses; i.e. the first five books of the Old Testament; to which were later appended commentaries like the Talmud, Mishnah, and so on), so there is also an inner or "hidden" Torah, a "secret" (sod), which gives the inner meaning of the Torah, and describes the nature of God, creation, the origin of the Cosmos, the nature of man, and so on. It is this Hidden Torah, which is supposedly handed down by word of mouth (although since the twelfth century it has been committed to writing) that constitutes the Kabbalah.


Kabbalah then, is the occult or mystical branch of the religion, the inner or esoteric counterpart to the outer or legalistic doctrine, the Torah or "Law", just as Sufism is the occult and mystical tradition within Islam.

Who am I and what do I exist for? Why was I born? Where did I come from? Where am I heading? Have I already been here? Will I return here? What is my role in the universe? ... Can I attain complete fulfillment in this lifetime, and if so how? ... The single answer to all these questions is attaining the perfection of upper world, which is filled with pleasures. This is the essence of the wisdom of Kabbalah, which provides a practical method for understanding the goal of creation and our purpose in life: achieving tranquility, eternity, and unbounded joy while still living in this world. In this manner a person takes control over his life and transcends the boundaries of time and space.

Die moderne Form - Neo-Kabbalah: The Kabbalah Centre - with Online Courses.

Achtung! 1969 gründete Philip Berg das erste Kabbalah Centre in Tel Aviv. Von den 2004 weltweit 50 Lokalitäten sind die in Los Angeles und London am wichtigsten, doch existiert auch eines in Hannover. Das Vermögen der Organisation soll sich auf etwa 25 Millionen US-Dollar belaufen. Der Bewegung gehören schätzungsweise 60 000 bis 200 000 Klienten an. Bekannt wurde sie, weil sich zahlreiche Prominente lautstark zu den Lehren bekennen, darunter die Popsängerin Madonna mit Ehemann Guy Ritchie, Britney Spears, Mick Jagger, Winona Ryder, Gwyneth Paltrow, Elizabeth Taylor, Paris Hilton, Paul Newman, Jeff Goldblum, Monica Lewinsky, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Naomi Campbell, Victoria und David Beckham. Jerry Hall soll sich inzwischen wieder distanzieren ("Ich wusste nicht, dass man zehn Prozent seines Einkommens spenden muss, um durch die Wundertür zu gehen", wurde sie in der britischen Presse zitiert).
