Short essay on Lurianic KabbalahYakov Leib HaKohainIsaac Luria (1534-1572) — also known as the “Ari Zaal,” or “Divine Rabbi Isaac,” — was, and remains to this day, unarguably the greatest Kabbalist in world history. His doctrines, based entirely on the Old Testament and\u00a0Zohar, anticipated virtually world-for-word — or at the very least, concept for concept — the theory of the “Big Bang” origins of the universe in astrophysics. Thus, the cosmogony of a 16th century Jewish Kabbalist was literally validated by modern science four hundred years later.The details of Luria’s Kabbalah are far too complicated to be discussed here. Suffice it to say that his doctrine of\u00a0SheviretHaKelim<\/em>, or “Shattering of the Vessels,” was at their core and profoundly influenced all subsequent Kabbalistic theosophy.Put simply, the doctrine of\u00a0Sheviret HaKelim<\/em>\u00a0states (as does also the 20th century Big-Bang theory) that the Universe (i.e.,the Unity of\u00a0 God) was shattered at the moment of mundane creation.\u00a0 From this cataclysm, “Holy Sparks” flew off in all directions, some returning to their Source, others falling into the world of “things” and “beings.”\u00a0 Thus, as the\u00a0Baal Shem Tov\u00a0states, “In all that is in the world dwell Holy Sparks, no things is empty of them; in the actions of men also, indeed even in the sins he does, dwell Holy Sparks of God.”Thus, the Kabbalistic notion of\u00a0Tikkun Olam<\/em>, or “Repair of the World,” is based on the principle that all things and actions in the world, no matter how seemingly trivial, are saturated with Holy Sparks,\u00a0 yearning to return to the state of premundane unity from which they fell at the creation of the world. Again, modern\u00a0Chaos Theory\u00a0in physics states much the same principle when it proposes that all disturbed systems seek to return to their pre-existent state of “quasi-stationary equilibrium.”
Sabbatean KabbalahOne hundred years after Luria, in 1665-66, the Jewish Messiah and avatar,\u00a0Sabbatai Zevi, began completing the\u00a0Tikkun Olam<\/em>\u00a0through various “strange gestures,” including his conversion to\u00a0Islam. Thousands of his millions of followers followed him into this “Holy Apostasy,” as did the followers of\u00a0Yakov Leib Frank\u00a0into\u00a0Christianity\u00a0another hundred years after that. Today, the\u00a0DONMEH forum\u00a0is attempting to complete the great task initiated by Sabbatai Zevi through the powerful medium of\u00a0the internet.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n
