	Re: Sephiroth. 

 As far as I'm aware there are 10 Sephioroth with 22 other paths each
representing a certain form of enlightenment. Each of the ten is grouped
into a hierarchy starting off with heaven (cf. Elijah, the only prophet
to have reached the top Sephiroth with the chariot of angels), and
spilling out until you get the lowest sphere, which is Earth.
Interestingly, the Lord's Prayer: "thine is the kingdom, the power and
the glory" seems to be Kabbalistic in nature (kingdom, power, and glory
being all separate Sephirtoth). Seems like these Jews are everywhere
nowadays.

A good source of information is http://www.inner.org (but don't subscribe
to the email, you'll just receive messages on Kabbalah and mental health,
plus it seems to be a peculiarly capitalistic form of spirituality).

P.S. You might want to check out
http://www.members.aol.com/Kafka100/kafkakabbalah.html.

Is it me or is it the old problem of Kafka's ambiguity, combined with the
overeasiness of Kabbalah as a literary tool ( ditto Jung and Freud)?

P.P.S. The Jew remark is a joke. I am not in any way anti-Semitic, and
find any form of racism to be just plain vulgar and inaccurate!! So please
no emails accusing me of being Hitler...
