Welcome to Gaia! ::

Some Jewish Mysticism type thing. I'm sure someone here will be able to provide you with a good description, I don't know too much about it.

"Explain" is kind of a misnomer sense there is really no way to explain God but rather it offers tools and perspectives on how one can experience God directly. The grounding of one in Judaism is required to fully grasp what the various texts within Jewish Mysticism because without such grounding, study of such texts can lead to understandings which are counter to Judaism or in extreme cases can even drive a person insane.

That's because celebrities are usually Scientologists or supposedly follow Kabbalah.

Yep, Jewish mysticism. I am an outsider to this as a whole, so be prepared for corrections from people who are way more in the know, but...

Very hard to understand, supposedly - Jewish people generally aren't allowed to touch it until they're over 40 and have a really good grounding in Judaism and its teachings as a whole. From what I gather, it's basically a hugely involved series of esoteric teachings that attempt to explain how the immortal and unknowable creator interacts with his rather mortal creations. In coming up with an answer for that one, they'd pretty much get the reason for existence. 3nodding

And the term is also applied to a watered-down, simplified Hollywood version run through an outfit called the Kabbalah Centre that sells celebrities peace of mind through 'special healing Kabbalah water' (at least $1 for a bottle) and red strings they can wear on their wrists for some sort of protective charm. That bottled water, by the way, was at one point sold to cancer sufferers in the UK for 'hundreds of pounds a bottle', under claims it contained cancer curative properties.

Needless to say, I have little to no love for this version of it.

It brought tears to my eyes, but it was a function of how ignorant the writer was and how prideful they were to co-opt other people's tragic deaths for their political agenda and persecution complex.

Let's examine these shall we?


I want to know what ancient religion this was.


Ah yes- of course there couldn't possibly be any valid spiritual calling to Christianity, there has to be manipulation and deception- after all, only Us Cool Pegans have real faith.


Yay bigotry! Those evil Catholics, it wasn't as though anyone heard about a loving deity and were spiritually called to follow him.

The VULVAS R TeH EVIL!

Let's just ignore that the bulk of the Inquisition was leveled at Christians and Muslims, and that it was largely a State issued act, not a Church based one- but of course, this interferes with our persecution complex, so Shhhh... don't tell anyone.

After all, we can't be the modern survivors of the poor pegans if we have to acknowledge that things such as the Spanish Inquisition was actually an attempt by the Spanish Monarchy to regain their thrown from the Muslims.

Do we get to explain the population statistics now? Or how about how Mary Daly had to have been SMOKING CRACK to exclude the numerous men that were slaughtered in the name of their faith?

The heretics- such as various smaller Gnostic sects, groups like the Cathers or other good Yeshua following Christians!

How ******** dare they defame the loss of these people.

I mean for ******** sake, isn't it bad enough that some 40,000 or so lives were lost? We have to LIE in order to make our Tragedy Dicks bigger?

I'll wait for the historical record on this one. stare

And who is this mother goddess? Did someone fail to tell me that Allah had a sexual reassignment?

Is now a good time to point out that any method to communicate this trash of a song is a good example of turning a blind eye to one's actions?

Hear that pagans? If you're not an Earth-Worshiping, Light-Loving, Gynocentric pegan, you're not cool. Oh spiff. Someone turned my gods into chicks too!
