Thanks David. I spent a couple of hours at the bookstore last night and noticed a couple of books about Kabbalah in the Jewish/Chanukah section. This surprised me because I thought Kabbalah was a big secret of some kind. So I did some speed reading (wasn't about to buy them!)and could tell that they believe in reincarnation and in a God who is a "force", etc., which is very New Agey. And the goal is apparently to "become like God", which reminded me of what satan wanted to do. (However, we ARE to become like Christ aren't we?) I also knew that Madonna is into it now, which tells me how bad it is. But what surprised me was that the theories seemed to hold a whole lot of good truth! I know that satan uses a little truth to deceive, but this was truth that seemed like a lot of what Jesus taught, too. So I was pretty puzzled as to whether there is any "good" group of Kabbalah teaching, or if it is all definitely off limits. Any other info is appreciated on the topic. Izzy

Is it also occult? Some might quibble about what I am going to say, but I think it will help put you on the right track. Christianity has had its "charismatic" participants, some solidly on track but others off into spiritism and occultism. In the same way, think of Kabbalah in Judaism. Some of it is very good, but not all. Whatever you do, don't believe everything you read. Peace be with you.
