Kabbalah Especially for Mormons, And Everyone Else Also

[Chris197980CH]

"He created sex", yeah I sometimes think that too shortly before I have an organsm. But afterwards I abondon the idea again, so should you. Ah wait you mean "six", well I love the way you make ties between the circle and your religion myth of choice because the circle is "accepted" to be the symbol of the devine and creation. It has to be said though that mankind knew about geometry not only since the time your bible was written and you wouldn't get away with your reasoning in a 3rd grade exam.

[jsgrahamus]

Hey, Kerry. I'm listening to your Kabbalah Especially for Mormons video and you mentioned Kabbalistic meditation and sacred geometry. I've been learning a bit about them and was wondering if you could comment how you include them in your meditation and how they have benefited you.

Thanks for this and your videos, Steve

[Portland581]

I watched the whole video. What I would like to know is there any Kabballah in Mormonism? Could I just continue to read the LDS books a get Kabballah out of it. I joined the LDS two years ago. I want prosperity in my life. The Back Yard Professor looks like he all ready has prosperity and is just studying Kabballah for the fun of it. I want prosperity. Could I acheave prosperity by studying Kabbalah. I don't want to read another bunch of books and still be broke..

[skyaglow]

i love the beginning of your videos, as well as all your well spoken thoughts , ideas and facts you present!

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@skyaglow

Well thank you. Good to see you again Skyaglow! I hope everything is going terrific with you!

[skyaglow]

@TheBackyardProfessor Happy as ever!! : )

[di4homes]

I love your statement and believe whole heartedly that continue education and understanding of the other religions it key so you don't stop learning. I think it is key in truly trying to understand the truth and message from God. In additonal how yes, the messages can conflict with other for serveral reasons, most importantly man's ability to understand the revealation coupled with the language and the way in which people spoke at the time of revelation....

[GmaM11]

There is too much information to make a definitive statement in 500 characters. Please enter "illuminati, kabbalah, freemasonry, magick" on youtube and listen to the expert. We know for sure Einstein and Newton were avid students of Torah. Their scientific discoveries were based on their study of Torah. Did they look at Zohar? Perhaps. It is immaterial That does not mean they were mystics. They were scientists.

[TheMounteBankExposee]

Hexagram = 6 sided Hexagon 6 mini triangles 6 points= 666 that is the number of a man, not God. "Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." -Rev 13:18

[misterjackofficial]

It's laughable that below people are saying "the god of Kabbalah is Lucifer", Kabbalah isn't even a religion it's a wisdom exploring our relationship with the universe & our relationship with the great architect of the universe. I'm sorry you have such morons commenting on your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[iwbtssothy]

what an incredible video!

[TheSkepticChristian]

yes

[GmaM11]

The god of Kabbalah is Lucifer. Enter Kabbalah, freemasonry, occult on youtube and watch this well documented series. The reason the Rabbi's require someone be over 40 to study Kabbalah is by then, they will have spent 40 years in Torah and will be able to identify the the twisting of the word and understand the source of the "revelation."

[misterjackofficial]

@GmaM11 Kabbalah is not a religion and therefore does not have a "God" while Kabbalah can be used by followers of Lucifer and Satan it is not in anyway connected with Satanism. It is in basic terms, humans relationship with their soul and the spiritual realms, it is therefore the opposite of Satanism. The key to understanding that is in the story of Adam and Eve. Do your research instead of believing what Christians say who are obsessed with Christian dogma.

[GmaM11]

@misterjackofficial You need to do your homework. Enter " kabbalah, occult, freemasonry" on youtube. You do not need to listen, just read the quotes presented from "Morals and Dogma" "The Zohar" and so on. My Rabbi (Hebrew Roots of the Christian Faith) who came through Orthodox Torah warns against Kabbalah and its practices. According to Zohar, God held Adam and Eve as prisoner in the Garden and Lucifer released them . Like Masons, he is the god of Kabbalah.

[misterjackofficial]

@GmaM11 I watched that video your talking about. You are making a judgement with having done minimal research on the subject, just because someone makes a video with his theories does not make it fact. These are all peoples theories cooked up by people who have not studied Kabbalah. Satanists are obsessed by obscene and abusive sexual practices, Kabbalah is nothing to do with that behaviour nor is Free Masonry, I'm very sorry you don't understand that.

[myway43]

@GmaM11 Yeah, we already saw you post this before. What's next?

[GmaM11]

@misterjackofficial I have an MS (science) and am a good researcher. One rule of esearch rules is to get enough information to decide whether or not to follow a line of research. The presenter is not the focus,the quotes he pulled from the "bibles" of the mystics. I watched a couple other videos that were very good. The quotes state clearly who their "gods" are. My rabbi (teacher) has given fact based warnings. Spending more time on it is a waste. You are deceived.

[misterjackofficial]

@GmaM11 I'm not telling you what's right or wrong but mystic practices that involves incantations and "black magic" has nothing to do with true Kabbalah, in fact using Kabbalah science for anything evil is idolatrous. It's a very big subject but the zohar isn't talking about anything physical it's talking about our souls interaction with the creator, it was mysticised so it wasn't understood by the uneducated. It might be a shock to you but Einstein, Newton, Shakespeare etc all studied Kabbalah.

[minisight2000]

im blown away.....wow!!!!! every video you have something to teach!!

[canadianbacon007]

more, more, MORE....

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@canadianbacon007

Well......o.k., you asked for more, more MORE...... I give it to you......

[4trahasis]

p.s. I initially brought up Laitman et al to say that, whatever some say about gentiles studying and speaking of Kabbalah, some, such as Laitman at least (by whose authority I cannot say), speak of the openness of Kabbalah to the entire world, both children and gentile.

One day I may read Leet - no disrespect to her and her sharings - but there are already room-fulls of entrees waiting to be received, one of which may some day point towards her work, though not yet.

Again: thanks for all you do

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@4trahasis

I just heard the other night from a fellow Jewish Freemason that if she wasn't male, married, and over 40 she couldn't have studied the Kabbalah. Perhaps times have changed. I understand about all the other entrees. Thank you for your intelligent and interesting comments. It seems whenever I video on Kabbalah the more intelligent folks show up, that's kinda nice.... Much more to come soon. I have received a nifty Kabbalah insight while practicing Hebrew, I am excited to video about.

[omiolo]

Tens of thousands attended the Church's annual General Conference in Salt Lake City this weekend, but millions more watched and listened worldwide. They gathered in chapels and around computer screens, television sets and radios to listen in.

[StuddleyG]

Six is the perfect number? I thought seven was the perfect number?

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@StuddleyG

No. 7 is called "the virgin," 6 is the perfect number because 2+3+1 = 6 AND 2x3x1 = 6, the ONLY number that has this capability. And, as the video showed, the ONLY number that is used perfectly on any circle of any size, so long as the legs of the compass remain the same length apart, and make points on the curcumfrence, the points will always and only be 6 equidistant points.

[omiolo2]

I have Jewish friends who study the Zohar. Very strict, very absolute.

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@omiolo2

I have no doubt. I hope I am not offending any of the Jewish folk with these vids. Probably more amusing to them than disturbing. But, I am not using anything that is not in print and available.

[omiolo]

@TheBackyardProfessor "Probably more amusing to them than disturbing"

I don't know, the Zohar is defining literature to many.

[4trahasis]

@TheBackyardProfessor In studying Kabbalah, have you encountered the names of Baal HaSulam and his son Rabash?

Baal HaSulam received his name from his Sulam (ladder) commentary to the Zohar, which is said to have opened up the wisdom of the Zohar to many, and his son Rabash is said to have brought such wisdom to the level of the average person, that we may all elevate together thought it. At least, this is what I've heard from the mouth of Michael Laitman, a student of Rabash's. 

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@4trahasis

No I haven't run across Baal HaSulam. Perhaps I shall as I branch out and read wider.

[omiolo2]

Wiley coyote?

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@omiolo2

Yeah. That was a GREAT shot wasn;t it?

[omiolo]

@TheBackyardProfessor Yes it was.

[StuddleyG]

You remind me of my college professors that like to keep on blabbering after the class is over :)

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@StuddleyG

Uh-oh... is that a good thing though? GRIN!

[MysteriousRising]

@TheBackyardProfessor

Well I, for one, can't get enough, Brother. I just wish I had the time to go through all the material you're generous enough to share. Keep up the good work.

M. L. Tuiaki.

[BossMD311]

awesome, awesome. I wish i had the capacity to take in all thats out there on the Kabbalah, its just so dang fascinating! Great points and great job!

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@BossMD311

Just take it one step at a time, as we all do. I shall be sharing more as I can. I already am in the process of another one that is really quite doggone fun!

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@BossMD311

We do have the capacity, the question is are we willing to invest the YEARS to learn it? I am going to keep making vids, and perhaps there will be enough interest generated that the Kabbalah will become a good study for us all.

[EltonJThe]

Now, I have a question. Fire and Water. I read a hypothesis that our planet was crafted or constructed from Plasma inside our real star (Kolob, the Sun -- Sol -- isn't really "ours"). I just had a thought: could the Fire and Water in their account actually be the best description of what they've seen? Because I've been studying Plasma Cosmology a lot lately because even though it can't claim that there is a beginning or an end to the Universe, it can only explain what we presently observe.

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@EltonJThe

I suspect it very well could be the best description of what they saw.

[EltonJThe]

I do believe that the Qabbalah is inspired. I believe that all major religions were inspired by God. Satan would not inspire a religion of Hope and Salvation. God would not stop inspiring his children. However, it still took a thousand years to turn the Dark Ages around.

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@EltonJThe

I fundamentally agree with you. Thanks for your comments.

[GaryKColeman]

There is a talk by Dr. Roger Keller, titled "The Apostasy." It is at fairlds.org. He is a convert who explains that the Quorum of Twelve holds the authority to administer the saving ordinances of the Gospel. When that group vanished in 100AD, that authority vanished with them, but not knowledge, spirituality, and personal revelation. The faithful were still guided by revelation through the Holy Ghost.

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@GaryKColeman

This is what I am trying to say as well.

[GaryKColeman]

@TheBackyardProfessor

Here is a quote from Dr Keller's talk. "So, when we deal with apostasy we're not dealing with something where suddenly the lights went out, all spiritual light and life went out of the human family in about 100AD and didn't show back up until somewhere around 1820."

I thought about that and had to admit, that is what I believed. The attacks on Joseph and the Church have colored our(LDS) feelings on the subject.

Dr. Keller and you are absolutely right.

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@GaryKColeman

Oh how very interesting Gary..... yes, it is fascinating that I came to that same conclusion through studying the JEWS of the KABBLAH in the middle Ages, not the traditional Christianity history of cruscades, Muslims, etc. This is all so fascinating to me. Now I really, REALLY am going to make a betterd effort to understand Judaism post 70 A.D. It is something neither the church nor I have been all that interested in learning. Our bias has kept us from understanding so much!

[MrGBrooks9]

@TheBackyardProfessor Is there more than one way to pronounce the word "kabbalah"?

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@MrGBrooks9

I think so, just like more than one spelling. I pronounce it like I have heard it from a Jewish gent in a speech about the Kabbalah.....

[4trahasis]

@TheBackyardProfessor And while mentioning Baal HaSulam (master of the ladder), it'll also be noted, Sulam in gematria = 130, as does Sinai. Jacob's head rested on a ladder. Why did the angels on the ladder go up and then down (for wouldn't they start from heaven)?

It has been said, I believe regarding Deut 30:12+-2, "the Torah is not in heaven" (see also re: Rabbi Yehoshua & Rabbi Eliezer). Though our service may aim to Him above heaven, we were given this world to work in, and not to abandon.

[4trahasis]

@TheBackyardProfessor And isn't that our likeness of the image, as He is King above, we are to have dominion in this lowly world, in diverse unison.

WE is the rightside up of

ME , the small will freely transformed towards the altruism of "love thy neighbor" for the sake of the 1 we are to love and fear both. M(E) a-spires for much, points upwards, to storm heaven by sword. W(E) opens its tops to receive what falls, pointing swords to lower powers which desire feeding upon and desecrating spirit

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@4trahasis

Thanks for the comments on WE and ME. Interesting!

[4trahasis]

@TheBackyardProfessor Sir Rabbi Jonathan Sacks has said that Israel is not, as the Romans, a people of the Truth, but moreso a people of the Covenant, and this is not to say they are anti-Truth, but rather what value is a Truth which does not lead to meaningful action?

I've also heard elsewhere (I forget from whose mouth), that greater than the highest of revelations are acts of righteousness and kindness.

How does Leet speak of our incorporating Kabbalah into our worldly lives?

Thanks 4 vids!

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@4trahasis

Oh my heavenlies, Leet completely involves Kabbalah into our lives. It is THE spiritual reality to pursue according to her commentaries and books. I am virtually stunned with the all inclusive, fascinating ways of "binding" ourselves to the heavens through Kabbalistic practice and learning.

[EltonJThe]

@TheBackyardProfessor I think the right word is Pride.

[mrmagpie21]

loving this! I'm guessing Universal Kabbalah is the best book she wrote. Definitely putting this on my need to buy book list.

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@mrmagpie21

Everything by Leonora Leet would be important to read to grasp the overall system of Kabbalistic thought. Her last book is, actually, not the best one to start with. Her "Secret Doctrine of the Kabbalah" is the one I would recommend first.

[MrGavygav]

So your denying what the church teaches about there being a great apostasy? And what is the point of missionary work if everyone's scripture is correct and everyone gets revelation outside the church. Why join ours? So your saying every church is true? So on was lying on my whole mission for saying there was an apostasy? I am so confused now, i don't know what to believe. So why do we need our prophets then? So everyone is a prophet who recieves revelation?

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@MrGavygav

No, no, no and no. Why do we need prophets? So God can reveal His words through them as well. There is nothing saying Mormons are the only ones who will have prophets. The Book of Mormon teaches entirely different. I did not teach there wasn't an apostasy, I said the Jews have continued receiving revelation, which they have. Take it slow, and one question at a time..... great questions though.

[MrGavygav]

@TheBackyardProfessor Ok sorry i just freaked out a bit because I was confused. I did by the way love the vidoe alot! please post more about the Kabbalah. Thank you for all your great work

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@MrGavygav

No need to worry about it. I freak out when studying the Kabbalah myself. The best thing to do? Ponder, pray and keep reading and learning.

[TheBackyardProfessor]

@MrGavygav

Because we cannot be in all places at all times.I am not denying anything about our church, I am advocating that the Book of Mormon teachings are true. God works with all his children, not just we Mormons.

2 Nephi 29:8

8 Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another? Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together the testimony of the two nations shall run together also.

The Lord will raise up prophets unto each people - in most cases the people corrupt the teachings

[MrGavygav]

@imtherealthing ok makes sense.

MORE GOLD!!!! :)

46 minutes??? I think I will just watch the first 5.

Heh, even that will overload you. Watch only 2 and go easy on yourself.
