HEBREW MYSTICISM

-Hebrew mysticism-

Hebrew mysticism-is a set of teachings about the holly books, Kaballah and so called Torah’s code. As some of these concepts are not familiar to the larger circle of curious people, I decided to explain in a simple way all what concerns the mysticism and everything connected to the same people who do not know the Hebrew language, which was and remains the basic of that group of sciences.

PART ONE-

Chronology of the holy books and Torah’s code: Hebrew holly books could be split in its chronology so that its mysticism linked to them was reasonable to the wider audience and by such so explained the complexity of what we in Israel call the bottom of the heart of bone.

a) “Sefer Yetzirah “or “The book of creation”, written in Rashi language, which is the forerunner of Hebrew language by our Great-great Grandpa Abraham, who was born around 3500 years BC in the former Mesopotamia and present-day Iraq, Syria and Iran. The book itself is the key that needs to explain serial of the books by the name of 'ZOHAR' written by Rabbi Simon Bar Yohai thousands of years later.

b) The 'Torah', or Moses’s five books created on the exit from the slavery of Egypt in the period from 1500 yrs. BC. during the 40-year-old wandering by the wilderness of Sinai. Otherwise, in the Old Testament, indicates the initial letter 'TAF'

c) 'Nevi'im' or 'Prophets', written by the Old Testament’s prophets or their ancestors immediately upon creation of the biblical Israel. In the Old Testament is indicates the letter 'NUN'

d) 'Ktubim' or 'Psalms', written by those who are on their way telling everything that is related to the history of Israel, wars, conquests, kings, etc. In the Old Testament, indicated wit the letter 'HAF' * These three groups of books are together referred by their initial letters, i.e. 'TAF' + 'NUN' + 'HAF' = 'TANAH' or in translation the Old Testament.

e) How the life went on, continued and became more complex, so the citizens of the former Israel were looking from their spiritual leaders, the Pharisees then and the rabbis of today, clarification about the Old Testament, which has been somewhat non understandable so the rabbis who knew TANAH by singing a heart began to work on same explanations and wrote opus of 6 books which are called 'TANAH JERUSHALMI' or in the translation of 'Jerusalem’s Talmud'. The Talmud is composed, in the middle of each page by the original part of TANAH, under which the left side and below the sacred text and the right side so called MISHNA or in translation “THE SECONDARY”. And then after Mishna on the left side of the sacred TANAH text, and above and to the right of the written explanation of the Mishna, which is called GMARA or in translation 'THE END'. This means that the original text of the Holy Bible in the middle, Mishna who explained it, on the left, down and right of TANAH and finally GMARA which explained Mishna, left up and the right from the TANAH called the Jerusalem’s Talmud. (See appendix-Talmud)

f) When Israel split into the two kingdoms as Judah and Israel, it resulted in the occupation of both kingdoms by the Roman Empire which in every kingdom set their consuls. Consul of Judah known by the name of Pontius Pilate, the same one that under the existing civil laws who were relevant at the time, accused Jesus Christ, who spread unbelief in the existing religion and sentenced him, under the very same laws at that time to the appropriate penalty, crucifixion. Considering the fact that the official Rome later adopted Christianity as the official religion, by denouncing the existing polytheism, Romans could not accept the Jewish population in these regions which didn’t accept Jesus as the promised Messiah. Therefore it was decided to expel all Jews from these areas, and from that moment we talk about Judaism in the diasporas, that was in one part to the West in Egypt and further west, and the other part to the East or in that time known as the Babylon. Beside the expellation the Jews from these parts of the Roman’s Empire Israel and Judea Romans wanted to destroy everything which remains of the Judaism itself, so they change the name of Israel and Judah into the Palestine, in the memory of the Philistines, fishing flame that lived next to the Mediterranean Sea from the El Irish in today’s Sinai to all the way of Ashqelon in Israel today. Philistines were completely destroyed by the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses III, when they hiding like wanted to attack Egypt from the sea. Only Judaism in Babylon was very successful on many issues, so it became a thorn in the eye of general Ham’am, who served the Persian king. He condemned the Jews of conspiracy against the king so king wanted to kill them but they were rescued by the wife of the King name Ester, Jewess by herself. This is a period that is described as' MEGILAT ESTER 'or translated “ THE LEGEND OF ESTER “ which is celebrated as one of the official Jewish holidays known as Purim or by similar Carnival Celebration elsewhere in the world.

g) Life went further and became again complicated, so Jews once again looked for from their spiritual leaders to explain them TANAH and the rabbis threw a new Talmud so called “TALMUD HA VAVLI” or translated 'Babylon’s Talmud’. That Talmud in the principle was identical with the Jerusalem’s Talmud with its MISHNA and GMARA and consisted the work of much more books then the previous Jerusalem’s Talmud.

h) It is known as a historical fact that not all Jews left the premises of former kingdoms, but remained in the Galilee (Tzfat and Rosh Pina) and Dead Sea shore (METZADA) where the Romans decided to conquer them at any cost and long time did not succeed until they started building a dike to one part of Metzade and when they came to the Metzade itself they had to see terrible scene-all the Jews were committed suicide. In the memory of Metzada elite troops of Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are making there the military oath, which in translation means” METZADA WILL NEVER FAIL AGAIN”.. From that period is known spiritual leader by name BAR KOHBA whom Romans killed and who was better known under his pseudonym a BIG TEACHER. That was the time when the Jews from the Babylonian diasporas under the leadership of Yehuda Makabi made war against the Romans in order to freed Israel. Unfortunately the Romans were so numerous and better prepared so that all Jews have been killed or thrown into a slavery in different parts of the former Roman Empire. This period in our history indicates the miracle that happened and which celebrates one of our biggest holidays of Chanukah falls somewhat during Christmas. This is a time characterized by the original TANAH found in the cave known as Qumran near Dead Sea. These files are identical to today's Old Testament and can not be changed even in one word just so that people could understand the importance of correctly interpreting the original text, the Old Testament that in all kind of translations lost its true meaning and the authenticity.

i) Approximately 700-year AC. and in the Galilee was the father known by the name of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai, who was the successor of the famous Rabbi Akiva murdered by the Romans because of Talmud study. Shimon Bar Yohai with his son Rabbi Eliezer fought against the Romans and their cruelty, and together they fled to a cave beside Peki'in in the Galilee where they were full 13 years. There Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai in a trance wrote “SEDER HA ZOHAR”or in translation “The book of Splendor” .ZOHAR is by its second meaning is also the Divine light. He is buried in the Galilee’s village by the name of Meron and the day of his death is marked with one of our holidays by the name “LAG BA OMER”. Seder Ha Zohar that he wrote has its rule which does not recommend it to younger than 42 years and deals with mystic aspects of the Torah and Jewish spirituism. Otherwise it is very comprehensive, and certainly difficult to understand reading the work of 24 books and for his only understanding of the need to study well the 'KEY' of his secret described in the holy book of pre-discharge, Grandpa Abraham i.e., “The book of Creation” (see article “a” above). Jews from Eastern Diasporas have had a boom in Spain when they began to become engaged in Jewish mysticism over the Torah, Talmud and Zohar, and hit the foundations of what we today call Kaballah. This period was one of the best period until their expulsion from Spain by the decree of Queen Isabella when they went by Europe and became known as SEFARDI what comes from the Hebrew word SFARAD = SPAIN. They brought all the acquired wisdom of generations and slowly by merging with the Ashkenazi Jews or those from Eastern Europe together began to work on KABALLAH of what we know as today.

k) The word KABALLAH has its double meaning. One of the words in the infinitive is 'LEKABEL' or translated “TO GET” and the other is a noun meaning “THE BILL”. Both meanings are equally important because it not only speaks about what is “OBTAINED”, but also what is the “TO COUNT” by the exchange of letters into numbers because the Hebrew language, as much as I am aware, is the only one where the numbers are equally presented by the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. It was forbidden to use faces of the people in the art or anywhere so that other could not influence or control them. Each of the Jews had a father, which has received the last name i.e.; if he was the son of Joseph then this would be his name : “BEN YOSEPH” or for example, the son of Joseph, or if it was the daughter, then her name would be: “BAT YOSEF” or daughter of Joseph. Names were later given the name by profession and mainly by the decision of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and have been all Steins, Schneiders, Fischers, Strauss, etc. Kaballah has its most famous aspect of the study through known “The tree of life” where are the levels-sephirot in the spiritual development of mankind where everyone of us comes to its different ways in different times but there is very important is the connection between them too. (See appendix-a tree of life). If someone knows chakras by Vedanta will easily be able to appreciate the similarity with the seven spheres of the tree of life with the seven main chakras in Vedanta whose position are almost identical, although these two religions have never met! Similarly, we can make a simple numerology, which boils down to simple number from 1-10 and for each of the numbers attributed and a specific interpretation. Less known is the scientific approach of Kaballah, which I engage, and where for each letter takes a specific meaning so you can very clearly explain each of the names that bear the keys of fate that we all have as my subordinates. Furthermore there is the latest aspect of the study of Kaballah, where from Torah are excluded all spaces between words, so that the computer put a term as AIDS, HITLER, NY-TWINS, RABIN’S MURDER, SADAM HUSAIN and so on, all of which are engaged in today's news that all the answers there undoubtedly in our Torah. In Torah’s code you get the answers from left to right or vice versa, from top down or vice versa, under a 45 degree angle up, or vice versa and all such perfect order that is almost impossible any deception or tricks because everything is BLACK ON WHITE with amazing mathematical accuracy! (See example of the Twin Falls in NY in Appendix-TORAH’S CODE)
