Kabbalah

[RICHARD ROMEO]

I tend to like novels with aspects of the K incorporated within.  I'm 
sure many of these writers only have a rudimentary understanding of it; 
they can only go so far with it.    Elie Weisel who was studying the K 
before the war mentioned on Charlie Rose once that he was studying with 
three other students, all of whom went mad.  Look at the lame attempt at 
the mystery of the K on the X-Files a couple of weeks ago.  It's become 
so "trendy" and easy, particularly from non-Jewish practitioners.  I have 
read some of the major texts by G. Scholeom (sp?) and he gives ample 
warnings of the danger of practicing.  As a Christian parallel, look at 
the state of Angels and how they are insipid little creatures, and not 
the fearsome creatures guarding the gates of eden from Adam and Eve.
