Kabbalah: Worlds
built 274 days ago
The Qabalah (... spelt as Kabbalah, Kaballah, Kabballah, etc) is one of the oldest, continuously practiced philosophies in civilization. It is based on virtual ideas, images and relationships from collective experiences in the real and spiritual worlds.

Kabbalah (from Hebrew Ka-bal!, "Play ball!") is the world's most ancient sport. The object of the game is to collect as many red strings as possible and tie them around one's wrist real purty-like.

Many who associate themselves with Kabbalah these days offer fortune-telling, numerology, charms and blessings and relate their approach to Kabbalah to how it can help a person in this world. Rav Michael Laitman, PhD aims to debunk such approaches as misconceptions about what Kabbalah really is, in order to pave the way for a definition of Kabbalah: as a method of self-correction, and nothing other than this.

As for whether Kabbalah's trendiness diminishes its integrity, "I do worry about it a little bit. Is it going to be something that people are going to say next year is over?" Barr says.

The fourth world of the spheres of the Kabbalah is named Asiyah, meaning matter, and it pertains specifically to the Land. The matter is material which is the minerals which come from the earth. Also in the world of Asiyah, are the Ophanim angels (144,000) which combat evil and are governed by Sandalphon. In Hebrew, the definition of “Sandalphon” is “turn around” and in Greek it means “of the flesh.” In the Legend of the Jews, Sandalphon stands behind the divine throne and He raises the crown and puts it on the one who is seated on the throne; He is the only one that can do it. His presence is fire (he comes at the time of Armageddon). The reason He is called “turn around” is that He is the one who is to turn around the wayward people and put all of the world on track, in the right direction. Those who are to stubborn are for the fire!
