The one with the red string braclets? Yeah i've heard about it... i dunno what its roots are though, seems like this religion sprung up over-night so i'd like to see its history. Seems to me that some celebritys are just doing this to make them seem more interlectual

Its a mystical-Jewish sect, bit like the Sufi sect of Islam, and they've even managed to infiltrate our uni! Fuckin hippies!

It's just a celebrity fad. From what I've heard it's nothing special. Celebs are weird. So is Scientology.

i'm not even gonna bother with you on this one

definition of a sect : A sect is a small religious group that has branched off of a larger established religion. Sects have many beliefs and practices in common with the religion that they have broken off from, but are differentiated by a number of doctrinal differences

Sufism (Arabic تصوف taṣawwuf) is a system of esoteric philosophy commonly associated with Islam. In modern language it might also be referred to as "Islamic spirituality" or "Islamic mysticism". Some non-Islamic Sufi organizations also exist, especially in the West.Many Sufi practitioners are organized into a very diverse range of brotherhoods and sisterhoods. Although many orders ("tariqas") can be classified as Shi'a or Sunni or even both, there are a few that are clearly neither Shiah nor Sunni and so constitute a separate sphere of Islamic faith.

Ok I'm confused as your two quotes suggest Sufiam is a sect of Islam...

Well as far as I am concerned Sufism is considered a sect of Islam (ie it eveloved from Islam and was influenced by Islam)


Posted by fastmp3 on May-20-2005 14:50:

We're so nice to you Marie. This thread we turned into a debate on whether some sect is a muslim sect or just a sect practiced by muslims. I'm sure you appreciate this.

A couple of questions.

1)To you what makes one method to acquire money more legitimate than another? Apparently selling a bracelet bothers you? Does passing a collection plate?

2)On what basis do you determine that it is lies? Is Kabbalah's Tree of Life a more dishonest interpretation of the divine than Allah?

3)Mel Gibson is a big star, he is obviously Roman Catholic, does the fact that he is a member of this religion reduce its credibility for you?


Posted by h0tsweetbabyd0l on May-21-2005 16:17:

to me it's scandalous to abuse of the credibility of people and sell anything pretending some religions or dogma
these people are just fake and use the fact that people have money and that is
so yeah i found that revolting to see how people can manipulate people under a reasurring coverage as religion

It is a genuine religion, nothing fake about it, as I said earlier I think it is an esoteric (mystical) belief with its origins in Judaism. Its a spiritual religion like Bhuddism I would imagine

quote:
kabbalah or cabala (both: kb�l) (KEY) [Heb.,=reception], esoteric system of interpretation of the Scriptures based upon a tradition claimed to have been handed down orally from Abraham. Despite that claimed antiquity, the system appears to have been given its earliest formulation in the 11th cent. in France, and from there spread most notably to Spain. There were undoubtedly precedents, however; kabbalistic elements are discernible in the literature of earlier Merkavah mysticism (fl. after c.A.D. 100) inspired by the vision of the chariot-throne ("merkavah") in the Book of Ezekiel. Beyond the specifically Jewish notions contained within the kabbalah, some scholars believe that it reflects a strong Neoplatonic influence, especially in its doctrines of emanation and the transmigration of souls (see Neoplatonism). In the late 15th and 16th cent., Christian thinkers found support in the kabbalah for their own doctrines, out of which they developed a Christian version. Kabbalistic interpretation of Scripture was based on the belief that every word, letter, number, and even accent contained mysteries interpretable by those who knew the secret. The names for God were believed to contain miraculous power and each letter of the divine name was considered potent; kabbalistic signs and writings were used as amulets and in magical practices.

The two principal sources of the kabbalists are the Sefer Yezirah (tr. Book of Creation, 1894) and the Zohar (tr. 1949; The Book of Enlightenment, 1985; The Book of Splendor, 1995). The first develops, in a series of monologues supposedly delivered by Abraham, the doctrine of the Sefirot (the powers emanating from God, through which the world is created and its order sustained), using the primordial numbers of the later Pythagoreans in a system of numerical interpretation. It was probably written in the 3d cent. The Zohar consists of mystical commentaries and homilies on the Pentateuch. It was written by Moses de Le�n (13th cent.) but attributed by him to Simon ben Yohai, the great scholar of the 2d cent. A.D. Following the expulsion (1492) of the Jews from Spain, kabbalah became more messianic in its emphasis, as developed by the Lurianic school of mystics at Safed, Palestine. Kabbalah in this form was widely adopted and created fertile gound for the movement of the pseudo-Messiah Sabbatai Zevi. It was also a major influence in the development of Hasidism. Kabbalah still has adherents, especially among Hasidic Jews.

2 See G. Scholem, On the Kabbalah and Its Symbolism (1965) and Kabbalah (1974); H. Weiner, Nine and One Half Mystics: The Kabbalah Today (1969); J. Dan and F. Talmage, ed., Studies in Jewish Mysticism (1982); D. Rosenberg, Dreams of Being Eaten Alive: The Literary Core of the Kabbalah (2000).
