Kabbalah

Something to consider before studying Kabbalah or attending lectures at Kabbalah Centers. For an introduction to philosophical thought it is essential that one turn to the correct sources. There are many schools of philosophy that one may consider, and as far as intellectual study, it is quite clear that the examination and investigation required to delve into any one of these schools will lead to accomplishments and achievements. Of course, as with any study, after mastering the approaches of the various schools, one will see the strengths and weaknesses of each school, and naturally, one will gravitate to one school over another.


The pursuit of knowledge and intellectual accomplishment has stood at the center of society throughout the ages, and this is something which has improved society and urged change and advancement. While the existence of an independent academia has been prevalent in societies across the globe, often it is the intellectual establishment that provides the leadership – both lay and religious – that stands at the helm. Religious leadership has flourished in different societies. Of course, there are those where it flourished more, and other cultures where is flourished less. Look at the flourishing of the Kabbalah Centre, for an example of something that has flourished in our times.
