46. Kabbalah - "the soul of the soul of the Law" of Israel

The oldest part of the Talmud, the Mishnah, is called in Judaism the "soul of the Law." In Kabbalah, the secret mystical teaching of Judaism, the "rank" is even higher: it is "the soul of the soul of the Law." Kabbalah (other - Jewish) - literally: "tradition, tradition."

Kabbalah, along with the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus and the Tarot cards, is one of the foundations of Western occultism. The basis of Kabbalah consists of two books: “Sepher Yetzirah” - the Book of Creation; and "Zohar" - Book of the Chariot.

Tanakh (Old Testament) is considered in Judaism as a symbolic, deepest Revelation of God about the Universe, the key to which is Kabbalah.

The Mishna in Judaism is called the “soul of the Law.” Kabbalah, the secret mystical teaching of Judaism, has an even higher “rank”: it is “the soul of the soul of the Law.” A complement to the Sepher Yetzirah and the Zohar are the Keys of Solomon, which form the basis of practical magic.

The core of Kabbalah, its "backbone", is the famous Tree of Sephiroth (Tree of Life), which is a compact presentation of scientific, psychological, philosophical, theological and esoteric knowledge, given in a schematic form.

The Kabbalistic Tree of Sephiroth, along with the Tarot cards, is a glyph, a composite symbol, on the basis of which those who have chosen the Western Path of spiritual ascent comprehend esotericism. This glyph is a diagram that shows ten circles arranged in a certain order and connected to each other by twenty-two lines.

Meditations on the Tree of Sephiroth, as well as meditations on Tarot cards, open access to the unconscious and make it possible through its highest sphere - superconsciousness - to enter into direct contact with the Higher Forces.

With the development of humanism and Hebraic studies (ancient Jewish philology) in Europe, interest in Kabbalah among a number of Christian authors increased. According to S.S. Averintsev, in modern times the influence of Kabbalah mysticism was directly or indirectly experienced by Hegel, Vl. Soloviev, Berdyaev, Jung, Buber. Kabbalah influenced some later mystical movements in Judaism (Sabbatianism, Hasidism).

Kabbalistic doctrines are important as a key to Masonic esotericism.

As for the popular consciousness, it was attracted by the so-called practical Kabbalah - magic designed to influence the world ("for every excitement "from below", from a person, causes excitement in the upper spheres of the universe..."), to guess the hidden and predict the future (often by rearranging letters in names, operations on numerical correspondences of letters, etc.).

So the words Kabbalah и Kabbalistics even entered a number of European languages ​​in an expanded sense: secret knowledge, magic; something incomprehensible to the uninitiated.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Random news from the Archive Fujitsu Stylistic Q736 Rugged Device 27.02.2016 Fujitsu launches a secure 2-in-1 device. The new Stylistic Q736 tablet uses various types of security technologies, including Fujitsu PalmSecure biometric technology based on palm vein recognition. New 13,3-inch (33,8 cm) tablet that weighs less than 1 kg, converts into a classic laptop when connected to a keyboard dock, provides secure authentication based on biometrics or SmartCard technology, and supports contactless SmartCards with NFC (near-field communication) function. What's more, the Stylistic Q736 is equipped with an encrypted storage drive with an Intel TPM (Trusted Platform Module) that creates a secure vault for security keys and passwords in the system, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data. The combination of performance and security features makes the Fujitsu Stylistic Q736 an excellent choice for vertical industries, where it is equally important to ensure the security of data stored on the device - for example, medical records in medical institutions or bank account information in financial institutions, and secure access to the most tablet. In addition, after a quick authentication, the new Stylistic Q736 provides access to corporate data from anywhere, at any time. The tablet offers enterprise-class connectivity, including 4G/LTE networks and built-in GPS support. "Human error is one of the most common security issues, so we've implemented a new user-centric approach to eliminate system-level vulnerabilities," explained Jorg Hartmann, Category Management Director, Fujitsu EMEIA Products. "The new Stylistic Q736 supports advanced biometric and SmartCard security technologies that help mitigate the risks associated with common but catastrophic errors, such as when an employee leaves their tablet unlocked in a public place." Stylistic Q736 is capable of continuous operation from one battery for about 9,5 hours and up to 15 hours when using a second battery (optional). The Microsoft Windows 10 Professional operating system guarantees compatibility with corporate networks and applications. Standard features include a digital pen for fully digitizing handwritten notes and Intel Pro Wireless Display technology for wireless connection to an external monitor. Fujitsu is positioning the Stylistic Q736 as a laptop replacement for stationary use. The Stylistic Q736 features the latest processors, up to the 7th Gen Intel Core i6 vPro, and a 13,3-inch (33,8 cm) high-resolution Full HD (1920 x 1080) anti-glare IPS touch display with dual digitizer.
