What is the Kabbalah?

So you may be wondering what the Kabbalah actually is. After reading my first post on the Kabbalah it leaves much to be explained.

The Kabbalah is also known as the "tree of life" and is originally a Jewish mystery tradition with which Kabbalists aim to gain commune with God. It holds a principle of self development and growth, with which anyone could work. The Kabbalah has been around for many centuries some believing that it dates to the time of Adam in the Garden of Eden. Study of the Kabbalah has had a turbulent time during its existence, including a ban on studying it during the 15-16th century.

You may be wondering how something so old and abstract as the Kabbalah can have any meaning for today? In a world of atheism and disbelief in spiritualism what use is there for a system of belief which is supposed to allow you to commune with God? Listen to your soul, what do you hear? NOTHING? That's what the Kabbalah is for, to bring you to a point where you can understand what it is you want to do with your life. It is a process of self fulfillment in which you learn more about yourself then you ever thought there was to know.

In an age of science where everything that once excited and amazed mankind can be explained there is a great need for something which gives a different view on life. The Kabbalah gives that different view, so journey with me in the Kabbalah and learn to understand life in a different way.
