I’ve often mentioned the importance of connecting with our kids, which means really getting to know who they are. So how do we find that out? There are many ways; and one of the best spiritual tools for this job is astrology. Conventional astrology has much to offer, but it becomes even more helpful with the addition of a kabbalistic perspective. http://www.myeverlastinglight.com/michael-berg-spiritual-development-books/ http://www.michaelberg.net/ The Kabbalah Center and on the home page, http://www.spiritualityforkids.com/ It’s that time again, the bittersweet transition from a long summer vacation to starting another school year. It’s no coincidence that this time falls in the month of Virgo... This comes from an essay by _Michal_ Berg, President and CEO of Spirituality for Kids http://www.spiritualityforkids.com/back-school Michael Berg is a frequent writer on the site. I do not know whether they have a family connection, but it seems likely.

Thought it was pretty much a humanist approach. Definitely Kabbalah and astrology. They mostly try to hide it, but then here and there they flaunt it. The Kabbalistic doctrine of Divine Light within each person permeates some of the lessons. I don't think we should have anything to do with this site. All else being equal, I would be perfectly happy giving the Kabbalistic tradition of both Orthodox Judaism and Hasidism equal status with traditional Judaism and Christianity, say by expanding the Sword Bible reader to include scriptures of other traditions. We _need_ a Qur'an, a Bhagavad Gita, Confucius, Buddhist sutras, and other materials so that students can know where others in their world are coming from. However, the Orthodox teaching about Kabbalah is that one may not study it before the age of 50. Doing so without a sufficient grounding is held to be dangerous, and in fact we see all kinds of superstition and supposed black magic founded on all sorts of misunderstandings of what it was originally for. We looked into it a bit in my seminary training, but I would never hand it to children. > -walter -- Edward Mokurai (默雷/निशब्दगर्ज/نشبدگرج) Cherlin Silent Thunder is my name, and Children are my nation.
