Free Will If Sin were a beautiful woman With hell hounds from her womb And scaly coils that circle around Like a cold reptilian tomb Would you partake of the ashes From her fork-tongued mouth that fall And rape her against the gates of hell In the guise of Satan’s pall? If Death were the offspring created From the nefarious tryst you engaged Causing hell’s gates to swing open And vengeance the battle now waged Would you still find her so tempting If you knew that your debt would be paid By creating a bridge to your brothers And spreading Death’s touch like a plague? If Satan should whisper so softly To your darkest desires and laud The rebellion that burns in you deeply To forge yourself into a G-d Would you take of the fruit that he offers And believe that the power is yours In spite that the apple is rotted Like flesh covered in gangrenous sores? Free will is a gift from the heavens And Satan permitted to lie By G-d’s Holy providence only And the omniscient gaze of His eye The unholy trinity’s power Was conquered with blood as the cost Sin still is a beautiful woman But Christ regained paradise lost? |

I admit this one vexes my mind a bit--but I tend to interpret scripture symbolically--and there is so much here to sort through. (or is it that I am having another dense moment?) but...I did want to ask about the "G-d"--um...enlighten me, please? And yep, you've got me thinking here! |

Exactly what I was thinking...unmentionable name of G-d...and now, as always, my questions always tend to have a follow up--I am a student of kaballah, and without going into great detail here--would love to know your thoughts on this... |

Ok now you hit my sweet spot!!! Hmmmm I’m not sure exactly what your asking but Ill a tell you a few of my view points on Kabbalah. We all seek to imbue our lives with significance and rationale, which Kabbalah can help with. We aspire to lucidity of visions and power of belief. Unfortunately, very few of us are born possessing the aptitude to act intuitively on our natural purpose. Until here recently, Kabbalah’s philosophical and intricate wisdom were inaccessible to western society’s. Never the less some info filtered down and found its way into other cultures and religious traditions both east and west, which I’m not sure how good that was. Considering how it’s been mistranslated. Tale has it that an individual is not thought to begin study until the age of 40, preferably by then after being married and with children. These factors are approved for mental and emotional stability. This is because the forces of Creation are unleashed in the mind and psyche of one who studies this ancient art, and they will drive an ordinary person insane. Well I can ramble on and on about this subject but personally I think its splendid that you are studying Kabbalah …When I mention that I study Kabbalah …I get a lot of criticism saying its evil, Satanism and other nonsense. But when I hear this… it just tells me that person hasn’t bothered studying Kabbalah. Anyway I get a little discouraged knowing that in one lifetime we cannot fully study the whole of Kabbalah but maybe we can try to get some understanding of life. Sorry I rambled on and on...The subject of religion can get me started...lol I don't know if you have read anything by Rabbi David A. Cooper (G-d is a verb Kabbalah the practice of mystical Judaism)...it's a great book if you haven't already read it. DeaDiAmore |

whew! vivid dark power boiling images Lot to think about here. reading your conversation with serenity... I am familiar with QBLH, though not deeply at all. I see it as yet another tool to gain insight, though certainly not the only one. Love reading you DDA BS I never aimed at reality; I aimed at truth. --Orson Welles |
