Kabbalah pre dates religion, religion is a phenomenon of disconnection from the upper force, of speculation and a misunderstanding of Kabbalah. Eventhough it has a form of similarity with it, because the Kabbalist created Halahah, they created the books that we study and consider to be holy books. Are traditions and so uncome from them but the purpose, the meaning of them, what the book are write are actually written for and what they speak about, we are not very well in touch with this things.
So the relationship with Judaism is like Kabbalah and amnesia. Now as far as mysticism goes, Kabbalah is a science. It is not a mysticism. It is a way of making a direct connection with things that seems to us magical and infabunable only because we in our current state of awareness do not understand how they work and it is the same as if you brought a lighter to some tribe that leave in on a desert island that has never seen any technology at all, you would be the God of fire.
Some mystical creature that can produce fire out of your hand, I mean it is simply a matter of what is hidden and what is revealed.
That it is magic?
Well, magic complies the using of hidden upper forces to manipulate people to get what you want and to cause certain outcomes for your benefit or against other people and so on. But, it is impossible to make any contact with the upper forces at all unless the person changes there moral inner nature.
The attainment within Kabbalah is a matter inner transformation and it is impossible to be in contact with the forces without that. So, this is simply has nothing to do with anything except somebody’s vivid imagination.
That only few people are allowed to study a Kabbalah and there are conditions. The conditions being you have to be Jewish, this is not so because the Kabbalahs all along thought people who were not Jewish by birth, some of the greatest Kabbalahs in fact were gentiles, people of other nations. Uncle Lovs, Rabbi Kiva. The list goes on and all Kabbalist took students who were worthy students, but not base on some kind of physical attribute. But, in on attribute that is called yahod and we will explain that later.
That you have to have a lot you have master preliminary wisdom Dumarah, Mishnah and so on before you can study Kabbalah well. If you do not understand what is written in Torah or Gammara, then you are not going to understand Kabbalah either. So, it is not that you need this preliminary wisdoms, its that if you can not find spirituality in this preliminary wisdoms, you must move to books that talks directly about spirituality in a way they can not be mistaken for things in this world. Like the language English, the torah is written or the language of stories of God and so on.
And amulets and protection and the use of number and letter manipulations in order to create staff and to protect people from evil, well this is the complete and total opposite of what Kabbalah deals with. In fact it is completely forbidden it is consider adultery that one should use the upper forces for some selfish personal reason here and besides that, there is nothing to be protected from. So holy water, amulets, red strings and so on are psychological things and they have absolutely nothing to do with Kabbalah.
And finally, there is the mixture of Kabbalah with eastern religions. Since we do not know anything, we made an association with Buddhism or with aspects of Hinduism that deal openly with spirituality and that is only because spirituality from the books of Kabbalist were not open.
