Download or read book Sefer Ha Tzeruf The Book of Permutation written by Abraham Abulafia and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sefer Ha-Tzeruf can be translated as Book of Permutation, or Book of Combination, since it refers to a kabbalistic combining technique. More precisely, the art of Tzeruf works with Hebrew letters. It takes a holy name, or whatever word one wishes to meditate upon, and interchanges its letters. This leads on one hand to an expansion of its meaning into new meanings, since certain combinations actually possess other meanings. From the other side, the original word is dematerialized of its original meaning, allowing the mind to shift its focus to the perception of new realities.

Download or read book Get Ha Shemot Divorce of the Names written by Abraham Abulafia and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get Ha-Shemot is Abulafia's attempt to describe the general ideology and cosmology that underlie the fundamental principle of Kabbalah - that names and letters are the essential, active, and creative elements of reality. He meant it as a rule of thumb for the masters of the names to know the truth behind the names they use, because no name can properly be used without such knowledge. In this work, which was written from the start for general distribution, Abulafia outlines the cosmic stage on which his entire Kabbalah is set, and explains its general purpose - the perfection of the mind by way of the intellect. This makes Get Ha-Shemot an indispensable introduction to his entire Kabbalah. Abulafia explains that Kabbalah is the part of Torah that must remain concealed from the public, and only received by word of mouth from a worthy teacher to a worthy student. However, to set some guidelines about the form of Kabbalah, Abulafia presents us here with what he takes to be the first and fundamental principles of all of Kabbalah. This masterpiece of Kabbalah is a very lucid and actual introduction to Kabbalah both for beginners and advanced students.

Download or read book Pardes Rimonim Parts 1 4 written by Moses ben Jacob Cordovero and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pardes Rimonim is a classic work of authentic Kabbalah penned by the preeminent scholar, Rabbi Moshe Cordovero (Ramak). A powerful intellect, fertile writer, and gigantic figure in Kabbalah, Ramak (circa 1520-1570) distinguished himself first in Talmudic studies while under the tutelage of Rabbi Yosef Caro. However, he began his Kabbalah studies at age 20 with Rabbi Shlomo Alkabetz, who was both his brother-in-law and composer of Lecha Dodi. In the Pardes, Ramak also displays a marked philosophical influence by the Rambam (Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon, i.e. Maimonides). Indeed, Ramak's encyclopedic work in Kabbalah heralded the renaissance of kabbalistic genius that emerged after him in Safed. A comprehensive work collecting the kabbalistic learning of that time, the original Hebrew version of the Pardes was a single volume composed of 32 parts and was written in both Hebrew and Aramaic. This edition comprises 12 volumes, and this is volume 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Ner Elohim', Abulafia lays down the foundations of his entire system of prophetic Kabbalah. It begins with an interpretation of the Blessing of the Priests, where Abulafia explains that the effect of the blessing depends on the knowledge of holy names, their composition, and their function. This leads him to describe the basic principles behind the workings of holy names and letter combinations, as outlined in the fundamental kabbalistic text of Sefer Yetzirah, since 'formation cannot exist without the combination of letters'

Download or read book Sefer Ha Cheshek the Book of Desire written by Abraham Abulafia and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Abulafia met his pupil, Saadia Bar Yitzchak, he was deeply impressed with his predisposition and desire to learn the concealed matters of Kabbalah. Thus, he felt that he had none among his books worthy of this meritorious student. In an attempt to fill the gap, he wrote the "Book of Desire" in 1279, which is supposed to touch very holy matters in a clear exposition, unlike most of abulafian works. With Life inthe World to Come and Light of the Intellect, the Book of Desire completes the trilogy of the abulafian masterworks.

Download or read book Maimonides and His Heritage written by Idit Dobbs-Weinstein and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2008-12-31 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume celebrates the depth and breadth of Jewish philosopher Moses Maimonides' (1138–1204) achievements. The essays gathered here explore the rich diversity of a heritage that extends over eight hundred years, beginning with Maimonides' historical context; ranging through his distinct contributions to philosophy, theology, medicine, and Jewish law; to the impact his ideas have had on later generations. His humane perspective and commitment to intellectual rigor are reflected in the wide range of his works and his active role as a spiritual guide and intellectual leader. Maimonides' intellectual openness makes his work an enduring model of creative synthesis and critical appropriation, as well as a continuing source of intellectual stimulation not only for the many specialist scholars who scrutinize his texts but also for a wide and lively audience of nonspecialists.

Download or read book Religion after Religion written by Steven M. Wasserstrom and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1999-11-15 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of World War II, religion appeared to be on the decline throughout the United States and Europe. Recent world events had cast doubt on the relevance of religious belief, and modernizing trends made religious rituals look out of place. It was in this atmosphere that the careers of Scholem, Eliade, and Corbin--the twentieth century's legendary scholars in the respective fields of Judaism, History of Religions, and Islam--converged and ultimately revolutionized how people thought about religion. Between 1949 and 1978, all three lectured to Carl Jung's famous Eranos circle in Ascona, Switzerland, where each in his own way came to identify the symbolism of mystical experience as a central element of his monotheistic tradition. In this, the first book ever to compare the paths taken by these thinkers, Steven Wasserstrom explores how they overturned traditional approaches to studying religion by de-emphasizing law, ritual, and social history and by extolling the role of myth and mysticism. The most controversial aspect of their theory of religion, Wasserstrom argues, is that it minimized the binding character of moral law associated with monotheism. The author focuses on the lectures delivered by Scholem, Eliade, and Corbin to the Eranos participants, but also shows how these scholars generated broader interest in their ideas through radio talks, poetry, novels, short stories, autobiographies, and interviews. He analyzes their conception of religion from a broadly integrated, comparative perspective, sets their distinctive thinking into historical and intellectual context, and interprets the striking success of their approaches.
