Redpill me on Kabbala What's it about? Is it basically

Qabalah in the plainest sense is a system of numbers from 1 to 10. ( Some Qabalists count 0 as number too )

The Qabalists expanded this idea of Nothing, and got a second kind of Nothing which they called "Ain Soph"-"Without Limit". (This idea seems not unlike that of Space.) They then decided that in order to interpret this mere absence of any means of definition, it was necessary to postulate the Ain Soph Aur-"Limitless Light". By this they seem to have meant very much what the late Victorian men of science meant, or thought that they meant, by the Luminiferous Ether. (The Space-Time Continuum?) All this is evidently without form and void; these are abstract conditions, not positive ideas.

The next step must be the idea of Position. One must formulate this thesis: If there is anything except Nothing, it must exist within this Boundless Light; within this Space; within this inconceivable Nothingness, which cannot exist as Nothing-ness, but has to be conceived of as a Nothingness composed of the annihilation of two imaginary opposites. Thus appears The Point, which has "neither parts nor magnitude, but only position".

But position does not mean anything at all unless there is something else, some other position with which it can be compared. One has to describe it. The only way to do this is to have another Point, and that means that one must invent the number Two, making possible The Line.

But this Line does not really mean very much, because there is yet no measure of length. The limit of knowledge at this stage is that there are two things, in order to be able to talk about them at all. But one cannot say that they are near each other, or that they are far apart; one can only say that they are distant. In order to discriminate between them at all, there must be a third thing. We must have another point. One must invent The Surface; one must invent The Triangle.

>>18058857
Now then comes The Abyss. One cannot go any further into the ideal. The next step must be the Actual --- at least, an approach to the Actual. There are three points, but there is no idea of where any one of them. is. A fourth point is essential, and this formulates the idea of matter. The Point, the Line, the Plane. The fourth point, unless it should happen to lie in the plane, gives The Solid. If one wants to know the position of any point, one must define it by the use of three co-ordinate axes. It is so many feet from the North wall, and so many feet from the East wall, and so many feet from tbe floor.

Thus there has been developed from Nothingness a Something which can be said to exist. One has arrived at the idea of Matter. But this existence is exceedingly tenuous, for the only property of any given point is its position in relation to certain other points; no change is possible; nothing can happen. One is therefore cotnpelled, in the analysis of known Reality, to postulate a fifth positive idea, which is that of Motion.

This implies the idea of Time, for only through Motion, and in Time, can any event happen. Without this change and sequence, nothing can be the object of sense. (It is to be noticed that this No.5 is the number of the letter He' in the Hebrew alphabet. This is the letter traditionally consecrated to the Great Mother. It is the womb in which the Great Father, who is represented by the letter Yod which is pictorially the representation of an ultimate Point, moves and begets active existence).

There is now possible a concrete idea of the Point; and, at last it is a point which can be self-conscious, because it can have a Past, Present and Future. It is able to define itself in terms of the previous ideas. Here is the number Six, the centre of the system: self-conscious, capable of experience.

It's a detailed diagram, or a set of instructions, on how to achieve spiritual enlightenment. The little ball things are supposed to represent the major chakra locations on the human body and the entrances and exits.

Keep in mind, this is true enlightenment, not just "hehe, I'm happy and stuff" enlightenment. The psychic human mind becomes full accessible to the collective consciousness and it isn't reversible.

>>18058860
These correspond to the numbers 9, 8 and 7:
These ideas of Being, Thought and Bliss constitute the minimum possible qualities which a Point must possess if it is to have a real sensible experience of itself. The first idea of reality, as known by the mind, is therefore to conceive of the Point as built up of these previous nine successive developments from Zero. Here then at last is the number Ten.

In other words, to describe Reality in the form of Knowledge, one must postulate these ten successive ideas. In the Qabalah, they are called "Sephiroth", which means "Numbers". As will be seen later, each number has a significance of its own; each corresponds with all phenomena in such a way that their arrangement in the Tree of Lifeis a map of the Universe. These ten numbers are represented in the Tarot by the forty small cards.

>>18058865
These ideas of Being, Thought and Bliss constitute the minimum possible qualities which a Point must possess if it is to have a real sensible experience of itself. Evil is only an appearance, because (like "Good") it cannot affect the substance itself, but only multiply its combinations. These correspond to the numbers 9, 8 and 7. The first idea of reality, as known by the mind, is therefore to conceive of the Point as built up of these previous nine successive developments from Zero. Here then at last is the number Ten.

By the way, that atom, fortified with memory, would not be the same atom; yet it is, because it has gained nothing from anywhere except this memory. Therefore, by the lapse of time and by virtue of memory, a thing could become something more than itself; thus, a real development is possible. The Absolute would be Nothing, would remain in the condition of Nothingness; therefore, in order to be conscious of its possibilities and to enjoy them, it must explore these possibilities. And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the Lord spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel. When the news of the murder of Archduke Francis Ferdinand arrived in Munich (I happened to be sitting at home and heard of it only- vaguely), I was at first seized with worry that the bullets may have been shot from the pistols of German students, who, out of indignation at the heir apparent's continuous work of Slavization, wanted to free the German people from this internal enemy.

>>18058863
So after OP is done posting and I read all this I'll be jacked into the collective consciousness? Get ready faggots, I'm coming.

>>18058863

But doesn't the collective consciousness also include negative stuff like greed, hatred and the desire to dominate? How is it supposed to turn off the desire to dominate? It's a part of being male I think.

And how is 1 enlightened person supposed to fare in a world where the majority is unenlightened? Wouldn't this totally demoralize him?

>>18058879
The Golden Rule comment is a reference to an ancient Jewish proverb which also appears in nearly all religions, although in the West it is now most famous as a saying of Jesus. The (flawed) Golden Rule is typical of all white-light moralities. Continue expressing milk from the teats until the entire udder is empty. Make sure you milk every teat on your cow's udder. The colors gradually turn lighter to darker when moving from base to tip. In Neutral Mode, the horns are pale blue and the protrusions the same blue as its upper body. After joining Team Kakashi, Naruto worked hard to gain the village's acknowledgement all the while chasing his dream to become Hokage. Only one Lil' Haunt circles The Haunt in the first phase. In the second phase, The Haunt has decreased health. The Haunt's laser is replaced with two spread, bouncing lasers similar to the combination of The Wiz and Rubber Cement. The Haunt's blood shot attack is changed to 11 shots aimed towards Isaac.

This is word that has been used to make gay men ashamed of themselves: it's an instrument of hate, exactly like the word nigger. If I have lost confidence in myself, I have the universe against me. During a peaceful summer in Gensokyo, an unnatural scarlet mist appears without warning and covers much of the land. It is strong enough to block out the sun, causing the affected areas to become dark and cold. On January 25th, 2011, an interview with Furie was published on Know Your Meme, in which he discussed the origins of Pepe the Frog. Sometimes we get sad about things and we don't like to tell other people that we are sad about them. We like to keep it a secret.

Through enlightenment, a Human no longer “feels”, a Human no longer hungers, desires, a Human no longer grows Bored, and a Human knows everything any other psychic Human knows within a collective “bouncing” radius of other Humans. They have a natural tendency to sort of extend the high mind to becoming one giant consciousness (think the end of Evangelion).

Actual enlightenment is not at all conducive to modern living (in fact, most psychic shit in general is not practical in today's world).

Does this mean that Kabbalah is a materialist philosophy? It seems like a mystical interpretation of materialism. How does the concept of consciousness fit into it? Is that the "Being" sephiroth?

>>18058939
>Does this mean that Kabbalah is a materialist philosophy?

No. You can fit almost any system to Qabalah, it is a numerical series spawnin from 0 to 10.

For example, number 3, the Sephirah of Binah can be associated by mystics to the experience of Shivadarshana which in turn can be equated with with the Four Formless States of Buddhism.

In all sipmlicity, it is a system from 0 to 10.
You can equate all sorts of system inside these numbers.

Qabalah is a storage-house, a memory system, a place where you can equate your personal experience, mystical tradition, religious passages. But it is always personal.

In the end, you must make your OWN Qabalah.

Sephiroth stepped closer; Cloud could feel his presence, feel the leather of Sephiroth's long leather jacket licking at the backs of his calves. He wasn't about to turn around and acknowledge the man though.

Cloud made to walk away, to stalk off and ignore him, but Sephiroth's hand wrapped around Cloud's arm. Wearing his leather gloves, like always. The feel of it against Cloud's bare skin - Sephiroth's touch after all these months - made his breath catch.

Sephiroth's other hand gripped Cloud's jaw, tilting his head back, and then Sephiroth was kissing him. Cloud hadn't wanted to kiss back – he hadn't meantto, he'd sworn he wouldn't – but that was exactly what he found himself doing. He had always been so damn weak for the way Sephiroth's lips moved against his own.

Their kisses felt electric. Even like this, with Sephiroth only testing the waters, Cloud could feel his body responding.

Sephiroth dug his fingers into Cloud's arm and pulled him round so their bodies were pressed front to front. Their lips met again, harder this time, deeper, but Cloud finally found the will to shove Sephiroth away. He was gasping a little, face starting to flush pink.

Sephiroth allowed it this time, drawing back. "Your collar is gone," he noted. "That's too bad."

Cloud bristled. "I don't belong to you anymore."

"You will always belong to me," Sephiroth said simply. He leant in, close enough that Cloud could feel the warmth of Sephiroth's breath against his jaw, murmuring the words in that goddamn purr that sounded like pure sex.

The entire relationship of the numbers corresponds to matter and the physical universe though.

>empty space
>point, line, plane, object, time

How do those relationships apply to anything other than physical reality?

>>18058930

I guess I've reached enlightenment then.

I feel nothing, I desire nothing, I don't get bored How can you ever be bored with the Internet? This doesn't mean that I would say 'no' to porn or nice food. But I could live without it. But I also could be extremely lazy and a psychopath (Because they don't have emotions).

But I prefer the enlightenment theory for my state. My quads confirm it. I just want to be an observer, nothing more. I don't want to participate in life. I don't even judge. I simply observe. I don't care what happens to the world.

Should an enlightened person go outside and help as many people as possible because he is compassionate? Well, not me, I don't care.

There are 9 chakra points and 2 outside of the body which totals 11.

The 9 are forehead, eyes/brows, adams apple, thymus(The hollow spot in the begginign of your neck/ collar bone), Solar plexus, Navel,Sacral, Weener. The 2 extra ones are more like zones, the closer you are to one the closer you are to that reality. The one bellow your feet is earth chakra and the one above your head is the crown.

>>18058971
>The entire relationship of the numbers corresponds to matter and the physical universe though.

No. Physical reality begins with Number 4, the number of Demiurge, The number of actual creation. There is 'Abyss' between number 3 and 4, from ideal to actual.

0,1,2,3 Are above the Abyss. 4,5,6,7,8,9, 10 below.

10 is the physical Earth itself.

3 is just triangle. 4 and 5 is a cube with dimensions. This is simple geometry you can draw on your paper.

>>18058982
See the thing is most people over stress the concept of letting go because normal people cant let go. You and I are in the same desireless state but that doesnt mean we are fully enlightened. Enlightenment is a powerful state. We are just higher on the kaballah tree but lack the lower energies which makes us less desireful. There is a way in which somebody could cultivate all of them and rule the world. You have a state that makes it possible to pursue the perfect balance because you are so relaxed that you can take your time and just work on something instead of needing some quick fix like a normal person.

Chakra Points are nodes from which chakra can be released. The human body has 361 tenketsu, each of which is located along the chakra pathway system. Most ninja, even experienced jōnin, are only able to release chakra from the tenketsu on their hands or feet in order to augment their physical strength. Members of the Hyūga clan are uniquely able to expel chakra from any or all of their tenketsu, and have created jutsu such as the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven to specifically take advantage of that.

Tenketsu are very small, too small for even the Sharingan to see. Only the Byakugan is able to see another person's tenketsu, enabling a Byakugan-user to attack the tenketsu directly in order to prevent targets from using chakra;[1] the Gentle Fist style of combat is focused around doing this.

That's not enlightenment, that's just apathy. But the world can be pretty shit, so I don't blame you at all for not caring.

Also a little pro tip: Your body's chakras align with your skin's microbiomes.

Demonstration:

On the left you can see number 3. It has no other dimensions. It is not actual: that is; not manifested, it remains as archetypal idea: a means of possible manifestation. On the right you see a cube: it has already dimensions, it may even be self-conscious (number 6) if taken the cube reflects itself

I’ll have yer guts for garters and keel haul ye like never been done before, hear me true. You think ye can hide behind your newfangled computing device? Think twice on that, scallywag. As we parley I be contacting my secret network o’ pirates across the sea and yer port is being tracked right now so ye better prepare for the typhoon, weevil.

I'm not a Pokedex
A Pokedex is:
>The Pokédex (Japanese: ポケモン図鑑 illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia) is a digital encyclopedia created by Professor Oak as an invaluable tool to Trainers in the Pokémon world. It gives information about all Pokémon in the world that are contained in its database, although it differs in how it acquires and presents information over the different media. However, they are also only given to a few Trainers at a time, generally to the ones that are felt to have exceptional potential and skill. There are different types of Pokédexes and each Pokédex is special to a specific region.
Pokédex entries typically describe a Pokémon in only two or three sentences. They may give background information on the habitat or activities of a Pokémon in the wild or other information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy. Pokédex entries also include height, weight, cry, footprint (prior to Generation VI), location, other forms, and a picture of the Pokémon.

Yeah that. And talk to animals and stuff. And be able to influence people. You can also get any girl to like you because youll be perfectly masculine and perfectly feminine. Everybody would be amazed by the look in your eyes and the way you make them feel. Englithenment isnt apathy and it isnt being nice. Its power and beauty and a different kind of bliss. The bliss feels like the way your head feels after a lucid dream.

>>18059071

I want that. How do I get that?

>>18059078

When you cease wanting.

When you cease thinking of the past and the future, and are a manifestation of the moment itself.

>>18059087

I should add, meditation is crucial.

I don't think anyone from this age has attained it without the aid of meditation.

>>18059087

That's deep. But in order to talk to animals and get girls etc... I need to want to talk to animals and get girls, right?

How do I know that it's the right moment to do that, without wanting that?

>>18059091
Not true dont worry about not wanting. Thats more of a lower energy paradigm problem. Most normal people struggle with it, but you are likely passed that anxiety stuff. You can want the power but you will probably want it out of pleasure and competitiveness rather than a weaker desire such as jealousy or normal people trash.
I know this sounds hard to believe when coming from a random guy on /x/ but I think I am very close to getting there. I have even devised a simple system that most weird people could probably follow.

>>18059100

Which system?

>>18059091

Thing is, when you reach the point you're talking about.

It is not something you do in order to manifest greater power, it's not a soul-sale or a demonology thing.

I will give you an example of what the feeling of enlightenment is, there are 2 instances when normal people "feel" it.

The moment when you lose your train of thought and consciousness and you are simply the moment.

The other being the instant of orgasm, and again, you become the moment.

The only reason you should attempt to go down this path is if you would rather know, than have.

Kabbala and all other systems of mysticism are essentially the same thing at their core. The problem with Kabbala is that it, and it's terminology, have been so co-opted by Rosicrucians and new-agers over the past few centuries that it's basically impossible to find real reliable material that's faithful to the actual historical system.

If you want a modern, written-in-plain-English system to follow, just get Bardon's books starting with Initiation into Hermetics (and ignore the people who will inevitably get triggered by this recommendation for IIH).

>>18059195
The conclusion I came to, is that those who are to achieve enlightenmet are often those who have suffered the most. It put's them in a position where they either can't take it anymore and kill themselves or they embark on the quest for understanding and knowledge. They often start seeking in a desperate need to overcome their suffering. It's not by overcoming their problem they get rid of it, but it's by the aquirement of universal understanding that the socalled problem ceases, because the more they see reality as it Is the more and more the socalled problem starts to seem unreal, untill they reach a point of understanding that makes them realize that not only their main problem was unreal but that all of them where and arrive in a state of complete peace.

It's a guide to evolution for humanity into a new species. The last species on the earth was humanoid like created called the Jinn who upon judgement, God replaced with humans. When we reach judgement, we will be going down the path of wrath. This is where we get fucked because a lack of direction from the prophets due to the fact of them dying and having scriptures changed, as well as our own self hatred. The final sephirot is judgement, but, they switched it because the Jews believed only they should have judgement and the path of mercy.
