In recent years, not only in glossy magazines, but in life you can see people who wear a red thread on her wrist.What does this mean?One of the clearest examples of this - the singer Madonna, stating that the Kabbalah - the doctrine, which helps her to live and work, brings happiness, peace and health.Meanwhile, the media do not give us an exhaustive answer to the question in the title.
Kabbalah - the religion or science?
here is difficult to answer unequivocally.The fact that the followers of the Kabbalah claim that it is a special science - the science of himself, the world, the meaning of life.Those who are far from the mysterious flow skeptical claim that it is - another religion, which is probably one of the hidden branches of Judaism, or Buddhism, or something else.There are still some people who do believe that Kabbalah - it is something from the category of black magic and sorcery.
So what Kabbalah is, in the end?In order to be objective and impartial, it will give a definition.Kabbalah is a science-religion.But due to the fact that for a long time, it really is a mystery, and today there are around so many legends, myths and falsifications.By the way, you are right to some extent those of the occult Kabbalah takes over - it really is a place magic, fortune telling, predictions.
Until the end of the last century, no one had not occurred to ask: "What is Kabbalah?".Starting from this time period, at a secret philosophical doctrine literally "open" second wind.Today Kabbalah is booming popularity - now it unites people from different countries and nearly all sections of society.What is it - another sect?
Kabbalah is Jewish roots, and the main sources for her at one time served as the Jewish books of a religious nature.The word "Kabbalah" is translated from Hebrew as "receipt".Proponents of the doctrine claim that it helps them find their way in life, which will lead to peace of mind.
How often are people who have in life happens for a special and significant event (whether good or bad) asked: "And what is the meaning of life?", "Why am I here?" These and similarQuestions and famous ancient philosophers tried to give an answer.Kabbalah is just helping his students learn it: they calculate the numerical values of the Torah, to find them encrypted information about the existence, the prophecy about our future destiny with you - the fate of all mankind.
What is Kabbalah?This is not just a philosophical mysticism, mixed on the Jewish religion.It's an entire worldview that is well structured and meets still many questions.For example, Kabbalists are five stages of our desires (desires):
1. The desire to be sated.
2. The desire to get rich.
3. The desire for power and glory.
4. The desire of knowledge.
5. The desire to come closer to the spiritual.
This list reflects the level of development of not only each of us, but all of civilization as a whole.And our whole life at each stage is aimed at finding ways to achieve the ultimate goal.This last wish appears in person only when everything else had been there, and ceases to bring him pleasure.It was then that there is a need to evolve spiritually.And then the person is given the most age-old question about the meaning of his life.
Hence one of the basic concepts of Kabbalah - "point in the heart."Heart as it is presented as a combination of all four, earthly desires and spiritual perfection - it's just a point in it.
answer to the question of what Kabbalah is, can not give even those who call themselves Kabbalists.Only elected have this information.And all these stars of show business, successful, creative people, who are now trying to achieve spiritual perfection, just use it as an advertising signboard doctrine for themselves.After all, a singer or an actress, surrounded by some semimagic aura of mystery, always attract much more attention from journalists, spectators and fans.
Many Kabbalah - this is just PR, and not otherwise.Take, for example, Philip Berg, who opened in Los Angeles Kabbalistic center.He is well aware that this doctrine today, they say, "in the trend," so calls his disciples to "open" for spiritual perfection, giving the Centre all their possessions and money.In return, he promises that Kabbalah is open to them their cherished secrets of success and gained immortality.And wanting, it should be noted, is a lot.
