I have some questions about the Kabbalah. I am reading a book called the "Essentials of the Kabballah". and in the beginning of the book it states that alot of meditation and spiritual experiences involved with the Kaballah were pasted down threw word of mouth and that the written accounts mainly focus on different aspects of Kabbalah lore. The meditation and spiritual experiences are really what I am interested in. If anybody knows where to find these could you please tell me. Also I noticed alot of Kabbalah and Masonic ideals that coincide. I know that alot of the rituals involved in Freemasonry, especially when you get into the higher degrees and alot of symbolism come from the Kabbalah. I was wondering does anybody know how much of Free Masonry comes from the Kabballah. And the parts of the Kabbalah that are passed down threw word of mouth, are these passed down threw Free Masonry?
