Q: I have read most of what is on your site and I have a few questions. First, what do you see God as? Do you see God as the thinker, or that which is beyond thought and just 'is'? If you do think God is a thinker, how could he be "one" with all these thoughts in his head? Second, do you think that it is secrecy that has led to the hatred of the Jews? People don't like secrecy and with the secrecy of the Jewish knowledge (ways) would this not lead to hatred of those that hold the secrets? Third, the idea of Jews (God's chosen) and Gentile (all others). Wouldn't this lead to the hate of those who called themselves God's people and who thought all others aren't?  posted:  11/22/2008 by: Trent
A: God is neither physical nor spiritual and therefore has none of the attributes attributed to creation. God has adopted the language of creation to communicate, as it says, it is God’s humility which allows God to be known in creation. All people of the earth were given Seven Commandments to perform; the Jewish People were chosen to perform the 613 Commandments. Among those commandments is the admonition to be light unto the nations and not to hide the knowledge.    

Q: or are we not all earthlings? could you please explain why there is a need to define ones geographical location ? as some kind of importance . as aposed to ones galactic , or even universal location !  posted:  11/19/2008 by: lfxzqdxteom
A: Our solar system and particularly our earth is the center of creation because here is found freedom of choice—this is completely mapped out by the cabalists explaining the most sublime phenomenon from black holes to atoms. Scientists know there is a world of anti-matter, cabalists know there is a world of spirituality. Here on earth, which is in the form of a human being where Israel is the place of conception, the spiritual light is hidden by the physical allowing for freedom of choice.    

Q: I heard someone talking about Kabbalah use the term "unifications", can you tell me what that means?  posted:  11/14/2008 by: Amy
A: The actual word is Zivogim which means intercourse. The language of the Cabala is blatantly sexual, the reason why the Rabbis forbade the study of Zoahr-Book of Secret and the Cabala, key to the Zohar.

A Few Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Cabala?

A: The Cabala is the key to the fourth and final level of the Torah called: Zohar-Book of Secret written 2000 years ago. Zohar means Brilliant and truly the light of the Zohar were too much for anyone to comprehend. Until recently the Zohar had little to offer this reality but, due to scientific discovery, the understanding of the Zohar through the vehicle of the Cabala written 500 years ago has corroborated what modern day science has empirically exposed. It is only through the spiritual darkness at the bottom of creation wherein we exist that the Zohar, the brilliant light from the essence of the Torah filtered through the elucidation of the Cabala, can be seen.

Q: Why do you write Cabala with a "C" instead of a "K"?

A: Cabala is the most feminine, meaning the most hidden, of all levels in Torah; the feminine is defined by the curve while male energy is expressed by the line. The letter "K", written with three straight lines, is completely male; leaving out the vowels as it is in Hebrew, the next letter "b" has the curve at the bottom of the line and the last letter "l" is again a line. Together "Kbl" finds the feminine curve held captive and at the bottom of the male energy—sound familiar? When the "K" is replaced by the "C" a completely other configuration emerges: The Curve of the "C" is expressed by merging the line and the curve through the vehicle of the "b" then put into a male facade through appearance of the male line—as is known in Cabala: the essence is never seen.

Q: Is their anything cabalistic about Britney Spears?

A: Yes. Britney is trying to get naked, but she does not know how. First she tried taking off her clothes, but that did not satisfy; then she shaved off her pubic hair and made it a point of lifting her unveiled underside; finally she cut off the hair of her head. Hair is an expression of the essence—the combining of will and pleasure; shedding the hair is a way of trying to uncover the essence. Nakedness is the outer expression of essence—it is why children are born naked. If the essence could truly be revealed it would not be essence. Nakedness is a slight of hand. Britney, I think, is looking for her essence. Good luck, Britney.

Q: Why do the Righteous suffer?

A: Suffering opens up a place within the human psyche which allows the soul entry. We are commanded by God not to let the animal suffer, certainly we can learn from this not to let the human suffer—which is true. Physical suffering must be eliminated after it has served its purpose of notification, but emotional and spiritual suffering is for our continuing benefit.

In the same way physical suffering is necessary for the well-being of the body to experience pain and take appropriate action, so too is emotional and spiritual pain necessary for our well-being. If all the people of our country were allowed to suffer without the use of psychotropic pills our nation would be better off because then we would see the suffering instead of pretending it does not exist.

Q: What to do about over-population?

A: There are far too many rich people; the fewer rich people the more land and resources will be available for the moderate people.

Q: Why does a circle spiral?

A: It is the minute imbalance within the circle which breaks the whole into particulars; the particulars in turn produce more particulars. Each particular is surrounded by a light higher than cause and effect—it is this illumination which causes the circle to become a spiral through the unexplained heaviness of this exceptional light pulling together to form a singularity.

Q: How do you explain the eye of ra in egyptian mythology?

A: I believe what is pictured in the Eye of Horus is the interior of Mars as discribed in the Zohar-Book of Secret where the inside of Mars is ice surrounded by water. This accounts for Mars' lack of magnitism opposed to earth with a molten core that turns producing a magnitic field that holds in the atsmophere. In the Sefer Yitzira written 4000 years ago by Avraham states the letter Dalet/4 is connected to the right eye and the planet Mars. On earth when you hit the rock, fire is emmitted but on Mars when you hit the rock water comes out; it is why Mars looks like a flood plain. the Egyptians, like the Roman's, prayed to the planet Mars.>Horus is the God of Mars and the Eye of Horus represents the phenomenon of water come out of a rock in the form of tears because Mars like its color is a planet resembling severity. In Hebrew Ra means bad.

Q: Humans have only been on earth for 5000 years?? There are a number of alternative scientists that say that mankind has been on earth for more than 15 to 20,000 years.

A: There is reason to believe the scientists are wrong since they base much of their work on the assumption that carbon 14 has always broken down at the same rate. The Torah states that each of the Six Days of Creation was prototype to 1000 years henceforth. In the first day (the first 1000 years) only light was created. Do you think carbon broke down at the same rate as now?
