Why and How

The Kabbalists are a Judaic gnostic and neoplatonic mystical tradition that seeks to repair the rip in the universe....there is God, the En Sof, or the unknowable infinite...but then there is a knowable God the creator...by study of the ten serifoths or aspects/powers/emanations/angels of God we are able to reunite the two halves of God...God need us as much as we need him. Creation is a fallen speck of light. If we perform the right ritual, we can obtain a powerful prayer that will mend the universe, heal God, and ourselves. Immortality, invisibility, almighty power and knowledge- these would be just side-effects of the result of the prayer and ritual. Man moves and influences the cosmos as much as the world has its way with man.

The Tree of Life has ten powers, and the causeways create 22 paths, corresponding to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Ten numbers-1-10 are combined with words and syllables, to help repair creation and reunite the lost sparks ( our souls, mainly) with En Sof.
In meditation, the soul travels astrally among the ten powers, gaining knowledge of the correct 'spells' to cast in order to end the seperation of the sparks from God, to move 'creation' back into the realm of infinite light- Man alters God, it was Man who threw God out of the Garden of Eden....

The 22 cards of Tarot deck are thought to represent the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet- here we can see the action of the quantum fluctuations of the universe, trying to tell us something.
The main book of Kabbalah- the Zohar- was written by Moses de Leon about 1278 AD- Tarot, although rumored to exsit as far back as ancient Egypt, has really been in existence only since about 1300, about the same time as the Zohar.

Today, in Girona Spain, a secretive group guards a powerful secret...

As one ascends the tree, angelic guardians are encountered. You must know their secret names, and you must repeat them a certain number of times....

God created the world through the use of sound...if we can re-create those same sounds, then we too will become God-like, knowing the thoughts and mind of God, we will be able to create also...

Ben Franklin composed magic squares when he was bored during the constitutional convention...
