What is Kabbalah?
Alternatively spelled Cabala, Qabalah from the Hebrew קבל KBLH or QBL, “to receive.”
An ancient esoteric teaching hidden from the uninitiated, whose branches and many forms have reached throughout the world. In essence, Kabbalah provides a langauge, structure, or map through which we can begin to understand reality, and therefore all philosophies, religions, sciences, and arts are attempts to express Kabbalah, each in its own way, at its own level, and relative degree of purity. Where it is impure is where we find argument, disagreement, fanaticism, mistakes, etc. The root of Kabbalah is the science and language of the superior worlds and is thus objective, complete and without flaw; it is said that “All enlightened beings agree,” and their natural agreement is a function of the awakened consciousness. The Kabbalah is the language of that consciousness, thus disagreement regarding its meaning and interpretation is always due to the subjective elements in the psyche.
