Kabbalah
Do you believe in magic. Do you wear the crimson string. Embrace the energy, let it protect you. On this journey I shall go.

This is what you think Kabbalah is? |
.... something like 20 years ago earnestly seeking God I put on the red string... it kept slipping off my wrist. But God showed me things in His own way :)

Palm Tree of Devorah
Rabbi O would know better, but I think this text is part of the real Kabbalah. A mystical, ethical text on the imitation of God, by Moses Cordovero (1522-70):

The shortest, unnuanced, answer is חכמה נסתרה You seem to be presenting yourself as יודעי חן So, my question remains, does "Do you believe in magic. Do you wear the crimson string. Embrace the energy, let it protect you. On this journey I shall go." represent your understanding of what Kabbalah is? |

Rabbi, Hidden Wisdom is how Google translate renders the Hebrew. Never mind Tom's confusion or pretensions. How about commenting on the Palm Tree of Deborah, Kabbalistic or not? |

Rabbi Zalman points to the "annihilation of the desiring self", which is consistent with many other mystical traditions. It would appear that all things are possible, including "magic", at that point. :smile: |
I am clumsily trying to translate the Hebrew. the first you mentioned one of the words translates is 'kept' when combined with the other; when translated alone reads 'recklessness' ?? I am clueless but seems to be something intrigueing there in the word meaning.

I can't translate Hebrew, so I didn't understand RabbiO's answer either. If you figure it out, please share. :smile: |
