Kabbalah

I didn't know Madonna was Jewish

I'm not Jewish, but I've read the OT, and perused the Jewish Study Bible, and walked into a Kabbalah center in San Francisco, where they completely de-emphasized any judaic aspect to it. They're trying to create a better world as opposed to get me to convert, maybe? They gave me a little newspaper type thing, which was interesting, but which I seem to have lost.

In any case, here are some tidbits I dredged up from the net:

At Jason Schulman's kabbalah.org, he says, of his School for Nondual Healing and Awakening, "Work on the self, and work on others is ultimately the same thing. With deep insight into our own condition, our own suffering and joy, and our own relationship to the Source of our being, which some call God, we can create healing on every level."

Basically, know thyself.

Also, apparently they do the numerology thing. You substitute words with the same numerical value in the bible to get alternate, hidden meanings. Whatever floats your boat.

There's much much more to it. Dive into yourself, dive into kabbalah, dive in me! (as Kurt Cobain sang). Just swim.

Sara and I just watched the worst movie ever: Jaws 4, I think.

This post was by request, for Sara's mom. She likes tarot. When I see the word tarot, I think of the phrase "to rot." A deathly art, that tarot business. Anyhoo, A kabbalah link to tarot is at:
