I learned about Kabbalah a few years ago through some lecture on CD. The philosophy is not that surprising after having looked at so many other ways to gain ‘enlightenment’.
But one element was strikingly new and actually rather incredible – that’s why I just had to try it – and this new element is the idea that visual impressions can open doors to new worlds.
I definitely first rejected the idea that staring at shapes and patterns that make no sense to me, analytically, should make any difference.
But then, after coming back from a trip to the Calico Ghosttown I realized that I had not been quite just with my judgement. Listening to sounds and music to climb the ladder to higher planes did not seem so incredible. But maybe only because I am not so used to expecting only analytical information via the auditory input channel.
But also maybe not – I just don’t know. And that is definitely good grounds to try it.
These visual impressions in Kabbalah are created by combinations of Hebrew Letter, that do not form intelligible words.
72 specific combinations of those letters are called the names of god.
I picked the one that I want the most right now – prosperity – played with my graphics programs a while and am ready to share.
The letters are, Hebrew is read from right to left, and the idea is to meditate and visualize these symbols in connection with the minifestation of goals.
l would like to know more on how to use them
I learned about it from a CD course called “The Power of Kabbalah” by Michael Moskowitz available at Nightingale-Conant. I tried other things after that, including going to the Kabbalah Center in LA and that was not so convincing. Maybe Moskowitz is some kind of reformer or protestant.
I want to know how to apply kabbalah to my life. How can I benefit from it. How do I get started.
Hi David – get the CD set I mentioned in my last comment and study it – that will get you started. Or find a local Kabbalah center and talk to the people there.
