Origin of Universe According to Ancient Science Origin of Universe according to Ancient Science ‘False Vacuum’ is a term created by physicists to describe the condition of the Universe as having no space, time or matter. In such a state this universe contained more energy than a universe full of matter. Kabbalistic theory is consistent with this 1st premise also because the concept of ‘Tzimzum’ states that all things that came into existence did so as a result of the contraction of all that “IS” into a finite point in order to allow the existence of matter to take place within the void of light. See Isaac Luria’s book Etz Hayyim (Tree of Life) for a further explanation of Tzimtzum. It is the second phase of three transitional states. The Tikkun represents the Unification of the separate forces and the gathering of the broken vessels. Luria grappled with these ideas over 400 years ago, but it is only recently that scientists have actually found proof that there really was a ‘shattering of light’. Adam McLean explains the significance of Isaac Luria’s doctrine for modern Physics today in, Kabbalistic Cosmology and its parallels in the ‘Big- Bang’ of Modern Physics. He analyzes the four worlds of cosmology and notes the parallels he has found in various scientific theories. His explanation of how the broken vessels of light parallel the Higgs fields is absolutely amazing. According to McClean, The energy that the universe contained was bound up in special fields of force, (the Higgs fields named after the physicist who first described them) which were essentially unstable (Inflationary Universe P6 Para 7) The author compares the ‘fields of force’ with the sefiroth or the vessels that were shattered because they could not contain the extreme intensity of the original light. In the original symmetry of the Universe the Higgs fields were in equilibrium due to the temperature of the earlier period. There was no mass or weight until the fields were broken and they released their energy; a change in temperature brought about the transition that is called “spontaneous symmetry breaking”. Matter was contained in energy (spirit) and had no mass until it was released from the intense heat of its symmetrical state. Once the shattering occurred the Universe began to expand and it is still expanding. The Universe as we know it is the result of the broken symmetry of Eternity. According to McClean’s article, This breaking of the unified symmetry between the four fundamental forces results in the separation of gravity from the other forces and consequently the emergence of particles of matter (P6 para 2) Thus, there is scientific evidence of Luria’s “Shebirah” or broken vessels motif so prominent in Lurianic kabbalah. McClean writes: The matter in the universe arose out of the breaking of the symmetries of the Higgs fields, which Lurianic kaballah parallels with the Shebirah, or “breaking of the vessels”, and the falling down through the worlds of the husks or shells (P6 para 4) How the 4 worlds unfold in the creation of the Universe and humanity is the great secret and mystery of apocalyptic literature. As Above in our Cosmic Consciousness – So Below in our Physical Existence 1 The 4 Phases of Tzimtzum: 4 Phases of ADAM QADMON: 1. Undifferentiated Light 1. Universe of Malbush (Garment) 2. Constriction around a Central Point 2. Neshamah of Adam the 1st space 3. Ray 3. Ruach of Adam ( hidden Adam) 4. Center Point 4. Nefesh of Adam ( biological body) The undifferentiated light is the Garment of the Universe; this is the light of Eternity that covers the universe. Then there was the contracting vortex creating a central point to contain the undifferentiated light. From the central point a ‘ray’ of light shines forth illuminating the ‘hidden Adam’ or ‘Ruach’. This word indicates breathing and wind; it is the breath that comes from the center point. It encompasses all and is seen by none. It is the zero-point field of energy that has been referred to as a “background sea of light” that everything swims in including the Universe. 2 In, “Brilliant Disguise: Light, Matter and the Zero-Point Field”, Astrophysicist Bernard Haisch, exonerates the Genesis account of how there was actually a ‘first’ Light that existed before the light of the Sun was placed in the sky. This has been a sore spot and bone of contention among critics for centuries. But now, Physicists are beginning to discover how the Genesis account is actually closer to the nature of reality than earlier suspected. It is believed that the first light is the beginning of the Electromagnetic spectrum and that even its waves bathe in the sea of light of low background radiation. Haisch writes, To put it in somewhat metaphysical terms, there exists a background sea of quantum light filling the universe, and that light generates a force that opposes acceleration when you push on any material object. That is why matter seems to be the solid, stable stuff that we and our world are made of (Haisch P3) Haisch explains the Heisenberg ‘uncertainty principle’ that basically says that all waves must move in order for motion to exist, but with zero-point energy there is no wave fluctuation or motion; and this totally contradicts what earlier physicists taught. He explains how media devices such as radios, television, cell phones even microwaves operate by sending and receiving electromagnetic waves of some kind. Haisch thinks that visible light is itself a frequency of the original light. He writes, “Visible light is the same thing; it is just a higher frequency form of electromagnetic waves”. Each wave corresponds to an attribute or spiritual force and has the properties of every other force. It can be compared to a symphony of light sounds that fluctuate and rest in perfect symmetry. According to Haisch, “All are electromagnetic waves which are really just different frequencies of light” that like Superstrings can transform into different particles such as quarks and gravitons. According to Luria, the electromagnetic waves are a result of the Shebirah or the ‘breaking of the vessels’ The term Ayin denotes the zero and infinite space that comes out of the center point. The ayin or the ‘nothing’ is the darkness or cavity void of light. The creation is born from ‘nothing’ as it receives the light. Light is the transforming energy that sustains the earth. Ayin is the boundless, unknowable, ineffable lowest subatomic level of reality that seeks to encapsulate the world of knowledge. It is the world of the infinitely small that Quantum physicists seek to discover. Before form everything was ‘ayin’ or hidden in the center. At the lowest subatomic level of superstrings, the elements are very chaotic and unordered and the darkness of the ‘nothing’ dissolves right and left into today and tomorrow. When Ayin becomes conscious of itself the ‘tzimtzum’ or ‘contraction’ begins as the central dimensionless point suddenly expands into Ayin Sof. There is a zero dimension on the edge of the point. It doesn’t exist anywhere in space. It only really exists in time. The point zero dimension represents the point of potential life before it has expanded into matter and form and the four forces represent the actuality of zero-point energy in time. The nine waves emanate out from the zero point and thus the electromagnetic spectrum is created and begins to form geometric patterns that give life to form. If the zero dimension is the point of the center that creates a vacuum then, the very next dimension is the line that contains points that move out and away from the center. The whirling forces of the wheels as seen by Enoch, Isaiah and Ezekiel called the [Reshit Ha-Galgillim] appear to create a vortex that promotes the wave length of circles that aid in the contraction that opens the point. The primordial point is the first phase that gives life to everything. ‘True Vacuum’ is a scientific term used to describe a universe of space, time and matter, it is the ‘all that is’. Atomic mechanics studies the “true vacuum” state. The world of form is what distinguishes between “false vacuum” and “true vacuum” states. In other words limits and bounds were put in place to allow 3 the creation of the material universe. Phase transitions influence the formation of ‘cosmic strings’ and their expansion into ‘membranes’ or firmaments. There are two types of transitions: first-order and the second order both include the process of transformation, one is more active than the other. In the first- order type the transitions: occur through the formation of bubbles of the new phase in the middle of the old phase; these bubbles then expand and collide until the old phase disappears completely and the phase transition is complete (Cambridge P2 para 4) See diagram of bubbles analogy. In the diagram we see: “A bubble of the new phase (the true vacuum) forms and then expands until the old phase (the false vacuum) disappears” (P3 para 1); an example of this is how steam produces bubbles that rise after they expand. The second-order type is considered to be ‘smooth’ in comparison with the first-order: “The old phase transforms itself into the new phase in a continuous manner” (P3 para 3); trapped matter can only escape by “nucleating bubbles of the new phase, that is, the ‘true vacuum’ state”; so it appears that matter must be able to expand in order to rise. The breath of air was blown into Adam’s nostrils and they became a living being that could rise and walk in the material world.

  • The Theoretical Kabbalah
    SES Kabbalah Course Segment 4 The Theoretical Kabbalah The most lasting product of the Provençal and Spanish schools of Kabbalah was compilation and publication of the classical Kabbalistic texts: the Sefer Yetzirah, the Sefer ha-Bahir, and the Sefer ha-Zohar. The Spanish Rabbi Moses de Léon (c.1250–1305) published the Zohar at roughly the same time when Abraham Abulafia was writing about the ecstatic Kabbalah. Controversy over the Zohar’s origins may never be resolved, but the work emerged as a major Jewish sacred text. Without doubt it became the most significant text in the development of the theoretical Kabbalah. The Zohar provided all of the concepts on which the theoretical Kabbalah is based. But its full potential was not exploited for another 300 years. That task fell to an elite group of scholars who assembled at Safed, Galilee, in the 16th century. Moses Cordovero, Isaac Luria, and others codified the zoharic teachings and built the elaborate system of theoretical Kabbalah we recognize today. In this segment we shall learn more about the Ain Sof and the sefiroth. We shall study the Kabbalistic story of creation, fall and redemption; we shall meet the Shekinah, the feminine aspect of God; and we shall explore the human soul and reflect on the role humanity can play in cosmic redemption. Specifically, this segment includes the following sections: • Cultural Context: From Southern Europe to Safed • The Divine Emanations • Creation, fall and redemption • The Shekinah • Humanity: Constitution and Behavior • Reflections, Resources, and Assignment. Cultural Context Exodus from Provence and Spain The Golden Age of southern European Kabbalism, discussed in Segment 2, came to an end as political changes undermined the environment in which generations of Jews had lived, worked, worshipped and studied.

Without guidance, this is usually impossible. Therefore, lowe my biggest thanks to Peter and Laura Yorke of Ra Horakhty Temple, who provided my first exposure to self-initiation techniques in the Golden Dawn. Their years of expe­ rience with the Golden Dawn material yielded a structure of carefully selected ex­ ercises, which their students still use today to bring about a gradual transformation. WIthout such well-prescribed use of the Golden Dawn's techniques, it would have been difficult to make progress in its grade system. The basic structure of the course in this book is built on a foundation of the Golden Dawn's elemental grade system as my teachers passed it on. In particular, it develops further their choice to use the color correspondences of the Four Worlds, a piece of the original Golden Dawn system that very few occultists have recognized as an ini­ tiatory tool.

  • An Exploration of the Sephiroth in Masonic Symbolism Fr
    An Exploration of the Sephiroth in Masonic Symbolism Fr. Ernest R. Spradling, Vll 0 A very senior Freemason once lamented about the younger generation of Brothers, who were exploring the mystical in Freemasonry, it being only a social club. I really don't agree with that sentiment, and given what I have experienced over the years, I know fully that our gentle Craft is imbued with mystical spirituality that has accumulated since the first Lodge was founded. After all, everything in this Fraternity is, in a larger sense, a microcosm of the life led on this plane: if spirituality is found in all THE LORD's Creation, why would there not be some form of the spiritual in the workings of the Fraternity? I have experienced occasional "glimmers" of the Light, through various gradations in the Craft, when the conditions were right; this set me on this study of various mystical "trailblazers" that have been evident, and not-so-evident, in the Craft's symbolism. Being ever mindful of the admonition in the 32"d Degree of the Scottish Rite (Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A.): "To know how to classify shells, flowers, and insects is not wisdom any more than it is wisdom to know the titles of books" I must state for the record that, as Heinlein's protagonist put it in the novel, "Stranger in a Strange Land", "I am onJy an egg", I do not profess to have the knowledge of the Adepts, despite the occasional "glimmers" I've experienced over the years. A lot of this probably is old ground for some readers.

  • GENESIS I by Prof
    GENESIS I by Prof. Corrado Malanga June, 2010 Preface This work creates a strong link between the abduction experiences, their reality, and the Myth world. We re-interpreted the Jewish Qabbalah using the information coming from the abduction phenomenon. This is a modern interpretation for the Qabbalah, and it drops the veils still present after considering Luouria’s studies. We strongly suggest you to read, before this work, “Alieni o demoni” (Aliens or Demons, still not available in English, T.N.) and also to read the articles: “La fisica delle Abduction” (available in English: “The Physics of Abduction”,) “Il tempo e la sua percezione”, “Mental Simulations”(still not available in English) in order to make sure you can have a better understanding of the concepts presented in this work. Introduction The time has come to shed light on the genesis of the Universe. In the previous articles we had shaped a certain idea about the cosmos, the Aliens, the Creators’ role in the Universe and so on. Such articles described the results achieved thanks to our research on the issues related to abductions and alien interferences on our planet, within the limits of the techniques we used to examine thoroughly such phenomena. We now are able to give a better and more detailed image for the map of the territory. We obtained such information through hypnosis, a useful tool to bring to awareness our abductees’ Soul component, and also through some mental simulation techniques (SIMBAD and Flash Simulation). Such mental simulation systems do not require an external simulator, but they can be self-induced.

  • Philosophy and Kabbalah. Elia Benamozegh (1823–1900), a Progressive/Traditional Thinker
    religions Article Philosophy and Kabbalah. Elia Benamozegh (1823–1900), a Progressive/Traditional Thinker Alessandro Guetta Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales, 75007 Paris, France; [email protected] Abstract: Elia Benamozegh (born—1823 in Livorno and died—1900 in Livorno)—philosopher, biblical exegete, teacher at the Rabbinical College—was an original and fruitful thinker. At a time when the Jewish kabbalah, or esoteric tradition, was considered by the protagonists of Jewish studies as the result of an era of intellectual and religious decadence, Benamozegh indicated it to be the authentic theology of Judaism. In numerous works of varying nature, in Italian, French and Hebrew, the kabbalah is studied by comparing it with the thought of Spinoza and with German idealism (Hegel in particular), and, at a later stage, also with positivism and evolutionism. Benamozegh formulated a pluralistic religious philosophy open to progress by constantly referring to the first phase of Vico’s historicist philosophy and above all to the work of Vincenzo Gioberti. We can read this philosophy as an original and consistent response to the challenges of Modern, secularized thought. Keywords: Judaism; philosophy; kabbalah 1.

  • Scroll of Trees], Attributed to R
    Ilan Ha-Gadol [Scroll of Trees], attributed to R. MEIR BEN JUDAH ASHKENAZI POPPERS In Hebrew, vertical scroll on parchment with diagrams and tables East-Central Europe, Late 17th Century – Early 18th Century Six membranes on parchment forming a vertical scroll, complete, written and drawn in brown ink within a ruled column 260 mm. wide in an elegant text script, with comments on the margins and within the kabbalistics ketches presumably added by the scribe himself in a rounded script with ELEVEN LARGE CIRCULAR AS WELL AS TREE DIAGRAMS, including an ANTHROPOMORPHIC design, in fine condition, housed in a modern tubular case. Dimensions 4245 x 285 mm. This is a fine example of a Kabbalistic scroll, known as an Ilan (pl. Ilanot) for its tree-like diagrams, nearly fourteen feet long. There are several versions of this Ilan, which is attributed to important Lurianic kabbalist, R. Meir ben Judah Poppers. Text and drawings vary in the several dozen surviving examples. The version found in this scroll, earlier than the printed version, and different from it in a number of striking details, is known in only two or three similar manuscripts. PROVENANCE This Ilan contains no explicit information testifying to the manuscript’s date and place of composition; knowledge of parallel manuscripts, however, does allow us to draw some conclusions as to its origins. Evidence from the scribe’s handwriting and the schematic design of the manuscript, and the fact that we know of similar kabbalistic trees whose source is East- Central Europe, suggest that it was probably drawn by an Ashkenazic scribe in East-Central Europe, although it is possible that it was copied by an Ashkenazic Jew studying at one of the kabbalistic centers in Palestine.

    S. Drob, The Lurianic Metaphors, Creativity and the Structure of Language 1 www.newkabbalah.com ©Sanford L. Drob, 2003 The Lurianic Metaphors, Creativity and the Structure of Language Sanford L. Drob In the Lurianic Kabbalah we are witness to a theosophical account of the world’s creation, which at the same time provides a foundation for a theory of human creativity as well as a general model for understanding linguistic significance. By explicating how the symbolic dynamic of the Lurianic Kabbalah accounts for both human creativity and the signification process, we can not only gain insight into human psychology and language, but also deepen our understanding of the Kabbalah and its capacity to reveal the hidden nature of God and the world. I will begin by providing a general account of the Lurianic theosophy, and then proceed to show how the Lurianic symbols provide the foundation for a theory of human creativity. I will then briefly describe the Kabbalist’s views on language, and close by offering a preliminary outline for a Lurianic model of linguistic meaning.1 The Lurianic Kabbalah Isaac Luria (1534-72) was perhaps the greatest of Kabbalistic visionaries. Living and teaching in the mystical community of Safed, which had laready produced such luminaries as Moses Cordovero and Joseph Karo, Luria developed a highly original theosophical system which, though based in the Zohar, introduced a number of symbols that hearkened back to early Gnostic ideas. These symbols were highly determinative for the subsequent course of Jewish mysticism and became the foundation for the Hasidic movement. Luria himself wrote comparatively little, and it is mainly through the works of his disciples, most notably Chayyim Vital (1543-1620) that we are aware of Luria’s unique system of thought.

    SEPHER SEPHIROTH SVB FIGVRÂ D (Ð ¢riqmÒj) A\ A\ Publication in Class B. Imprimatur: N. Fra. A\ A\ PREFACE AN any good thing come out of Palestine? is the broader anti-Semetic Cretort to the sneer cast by the Jews themselves against the harmless and natural Nazarene; one more example of the poetic justice of History. And no doubt such opponents of the modern Jew will acclaim this volume as an admirable disproof of that thesis which it purports to uphold. The dissimilarities, amounting in some cases to sheer contradiction, which mark many numbers, will appear proof positive that there is nothing in this numerical Qabalah, especially as we may presume that by filling up this dictionary from the ordinary Hebrew Lexicon one would arrive at a mere hotch-pot. Apart from this, there is a deeper-lying objection to the Qabalah; viz., that the theory is an example of the fallacy Post hoc propter hoc. Are we to believe, askes the sceptic, that a number of learned men deliberately sat down and chose words for the sake of their numerical value? Language is a living thing, with many sources and diverse; can it be moulded in any such arbitrary fashion? The only reply seems to be a mere assertion that to some extent it certainly is so. Examples of a word being spelt deliberately wrong do occur; and such a jugglery as the changing of the names Abram and Sarai to Abraham and Sarah can hardly be purposeless. Once admit the end of such a wedge, and it is difficult to say whether it may not be driven home so far as to split asunder the Tree of Knowledge, if not the Tree of Life.
