He reveals himself in three archetypes, all three forming but one. He is thus symbolized by the number Three.’ = ‘Wisdom’ + The Holy Ancient One + The Unknowable One. = Jewish Encyclopedia claims, “This and other similar doctrines found in the Zohar are now known to be much older than Christianity…” = One of the most common phrases in the Zohar is “the secret of his Unity” = The Oneness of God as completely indivisible, even in spiritual terms. = Elijah said: “Master of the worlds! You are One, but not in number. You are He Who is Highest of the High, Most Hidden of the Hidden; no thought can grasp You at all…And there is no image or likeness of You, inside or out…”

Zohar = Mostly written in obscure style of Aramaic, the day-to-day language of Israel in the Second Temple period (539 BCE – 70 CE). = Like biblical books of Daniel, Ezra, and the Talmud.

Zohar = Traditional majority view in Judaism is the teachings of Kabbalah were revealed by God to Biblical figures such as Abraham and Moses orally and never written down until many centuries later.

Zohar = Supposedly the oral Zohar was passed down and was finally written down somewhere between 2nd and 11th centuries. Covered up by saying it was hidden for 900 years because people were too stupid to understand it.

Zohar = Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, modern academic analyst of the Zohar and in revised by the 20th century religious historian Gershom Scholem, theorizing that Kabbalist Rabbi Moshe de Leon was the actual author.

Zohar = Viewed by many as falsely-attributed works, texts whose claimed author is not the true author (pseudepigraphy) and not forming part of the accepted canon of Scripture (apocrypha), but oddly at the same time accepting that its contents may have meaning for modern Judaism.

Zohar = Oddly, this BS of the Kabbalists filtered into Jewish prayer-book edited by non-Orthodox Jews using excerpts from the Zohar and other Kabbalistic works. = Even if the editors do not literally believe that they are oral traditions from the time of Moses.

Zohar = People of religions besides Judaism, or even those without religious affiliation, have delved in the Zohar out of curiosity, to see if meaningful answers about their lives, and the purpose of creation and existence and their relationships with nature exist. Very few report useful results. Jews argue that the purpose of the Zohar is to help only Jewish people who have been Exiled repeatedly throughout history.

Zohar = Appears in bible in the vision of Ezekiel Chapter 8 Verse 2 and is usually translated as meaning radiance or light. It appears again in Daniel Chapter 12 Verse 3, “The wise ones will shine like the radiance of the firmament”. Books written also by Rabbis.

Zohar = Talks about the Five Worlds with the 10 attributes (chain of higher metaphysical realms) of successively smaller concentric circles. = “Ten sephirot of nothingness, ten and not nine, ten and not eleven”. but altogether 11 sephirot are listed across the different schemes = Two (Keter and Daat) are seen as unconscious and conscious manifestations of the same principle so drops to 10. = Supposedly these reveal (infinite) light or understanding.

Zohar = Was discovered by one person and refers to historical events of the post-Talmudic period while purporting to be from an earlier time. = Total loss of credibility. = In 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia, a story of a noted Kabbalist Isaac of Acco, who supposed conversed with the ancient widow of Moses de Leon and she proclaimed that her husband gave authorship of Zohar to Shimon bar Yochai, because some man offered her (Moses’ widow) a large sum of money for the original from which her husband had made the copy, but her husband Moses de Leon was the real author of the work. Supposedly Moses de Leon said the doctrines put into the mouth of the miracle-working Shimon bar Yochai would be a rich source of profit. = Of course, others say this is pure BS and was not written by de Leon, but after censoring this BS for almost three centuries and it was restored in the 1857 edition of Zohar.

Zohar = After Spanish publication in 1857 it spread among Jews with remarkable swiftness and in fifty years it was quoted by many Kabbalists even in Italy.

Zohar = Authority grew among the Spanish Jews and they attacked Maimonides (the great eagle) writings on Jewish law and ethics who became the revered head of the Jewish community in Egypt. Vociferous critics particularly in Spain attacking his copious work comprises a cornerstone of Jewish scholarship in fourteen-volume Mishneh Torah codified into Talmudic law. These Spanish Jews attacked Maimonides, and even representatives of non-mystical Jewish thought began to assert its sacredness and invoke its authority in the decision of some ritual questions.

Zohar = THE GLORIFICATION OF MAN OVER GOD = Declared Man to be the lord of the creation, whose immortality is solely dependent upon his morality = In keeping with the spirit of Talmudic Judaism.

Zohar = Jews of Spain DEGRADED Maimonides and his followers, who regarded man as a fragment of the universe whose immortality is dependent upon the degree of development of his active intellect.

Zohar = Elijah Delmedigo (c.1458 – c.1493) = Called Zohar a FRAUD because Zohar was never mentioned by the Talmud + Had bar Yochai known by divine revelation the hidden meaning of the precepts, his decisions on Jewish law from the Talmudic period would have been adopted by the Talmud, and would not contain the names of rabbis who lived at a later period than that of bar Yochai.

Zohar = Believers say bar Yohai did not commit his teachings to writing but transmitted them orally to his disciples over generations until finally the doctrines were embodied in the Zohar. Oddly, Ignoring that bar Yochai made references to historical events of the post-Talmudic period.

Zohar = A work devoted to the criticism of the Zohar was written by Jacob Emden (d.1776) = Waged war against the remaining adherents of the FALSE MESSIAH Sabbatai Zevi movement that based his doctrines on Zohar was a forgery that the Zohar misquotes passages of Scripture & misunderstands the Talmud & other major FLAWS!

Zohar = Ashkenazi community of Eastern Europe oddly believed in the authenticity of the Zohar.

Zohar = And the Kabbalah in Yemen (17th century) was fought by the Dor Deah movement until the 19th century = Said Kabbalah Mystical BS hurt the core beliefs of Judaism = Caused Pervasive in Yemenite Jewish life. But they continued to mix with other Jews.

Zohar = Title page of the first printed edition of the Zohar, Mantua, 1558. Some fully accept the claims that the Kabbalah’s teachings are in essence a revelation from God to the Biblical patriarch Abraham, Moses and other ancient figures, but were never printed and made publicly available until the time of the Zohar’s medieval publication. = Haredi Judaism, especially Chasidic groups believe in the authenticity of the Zohar. = Oddly Hidden for 900 to 1200 years after the time of destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE. = Supposedly the Zohar manuscripts by Moses De Leon were uncovered in a cave in Israel in 1270.

Zohar = 1700 pages = It is impossible to accept that R’ Moshe De Leon managed to forge a work of the scope of the Zohar (1700 pages) within a period of six years. + A comparison between the Zohar and De Leon’s other works show major stylistic differences. + Too many “borrowings” from medieval commentaries are found + Zohar’s lack of knowledge of the land of Israel confusing Turkey with Israel.

Zohar Theory = Was not written by Shimon bar Yochai, but is a holy work because it consisted of his principles.

Zohar = Belief among Orthodox Jewish movements. = Mysticism of Orthodox Jewish, Hasidic movement with broad acceptance of the Zohar.

Zohar Theory = A Product of multiple generations of scholarship but defends the overall authenticity of the text and argues against many of the textual criticisms.

Zohar = Rejected by Modern Orthodox Judaism but accept the earlier rabbinic position that the Zohar was a work written in the Middle Medieval Period by Moses de Leon it can still be held to be authentic, but not as authoritative as Talmud.

Zohar = In the Encyclopaedia Judaica has an extensive discussion of the sources cited in the Zohar = Based on a wide variety of pre-existing Jewish sources + Invented a number of fictitious works that the Zohar supposedly quotes. Most of the conclusions are still accepted as accurate. n Academic studies of the Zohar show that many of its ideas are based in the Babylonian Talmud and earlier Jewish mystical works + less use of the Jerusalem Talmud and Bible + Uses Nahmanides and Maimonides writings + A circle of Spanish Kabbalists in Castile who used the dualism of good and evil within the Godhead as a kind of “gnostic” inclination within Kabbalah.

Zohar = Intentionally depict God in obscure terms using wordplay on rabbinic and biblical passages and its ideas are often inconsistent and conflicting and ill-defined.

Zohar = “Book of the Hidden” = Veiled and cryptic character with divine characteristics.

Zohar = Five chapters = Foundation of Kabbalah that are included in a Great Palace and fill the entire earth,’ meaning, these five paragraphs include all the wisdom of Kabbalah…= Brevity with wonderful and glorious wisdom.” = Secret of Divinity + Filled up with Godly light journey to the eternal world after their deaths carried away by angels + “Perhaps, God forbid, a decree has been passed upon us to be punished, for through us has been revealed that which has not been revealed since the time Moshe stood on Mount Sinai!” + A heavenly voice emerged and said, “Fortunate are…friends who remain alive with you! For it has been revealed to you that which has not been revealed to all the upper hosts.” + “The Smaller Assembly” are privileged to hear teachings. + “Faithful Shepherd”, teaches and reveals to Holy Friends secrets of and revelations on 613 commandments of the Torah are explained and clarified = Possible to learn very much about the ways of the Religious Laws of the Rabbis.

Zohar = An aid and support for Jews in exile from so many nations over millennia. = COPING WITH REJECTION BY 99+% OF HUMANITY INCLUDING INCREDIBLE PARANOIA AND HELPED TO RELIEVE GUILT!

Zohar = Secret of externality & Secret of internality. Its analyses are short on the work of Creation + The nature the soul + The days of “A man who will be chosen by G-d to put an end to all evil in the world” + The nature of God + The emanation of worlds + The “forces” of evil

Zohar = Believes those who seek to fulfill desires to satisfy them with all sorts of pleasures = A Gentile. But those who seek to improve in order to be like the Creator = A Jew. Whatever happens is due to that initial egoistic desire we are born with. Man’s natural need to satisfy himself must be directed to delight the giver (Jewish g-d or perhaps Lucifer) = Attain adhesion with the Creator and thus equalize with the power of the Creator to give. = Resemble the attributes of the Creator. Jews believe this law develops a creature to more intensely feel the force and resemble the Creator and so man (Jew) suffers more than all creations and the people of Israel (Khazar Jews) suffer the most.

Zohar = Within Israel, the ones in power in the innermost circle are pulled the most toward the innermost point in creation, from the closest desires to the attributes of bestowal, of giving. Those farther from the inner circle has less light (power & knowledge) = Called the End of Correction = Farther from the center the weaker the light and correction with the creator. = The light of correction shines from the center of creation. If the corrections are performed willingly, it is a sign that a person is on the ‘Path of Torah” and the will of the creator. Otherwise, if it is performed coercively the pains do not diminish, but increase and intensify to make man hate the source of the pain = His own evil inclination. GOAL is to fill a Jews with painful need for the creator, absence egoism.

Zohar = Deals with the secrets of prayer + Deals in describing the palaces of AFTERLIFE (Gan Eden) and Hell (Gehinom) + Palaces of holiness (heikhalot) + The essence of a man via the features of his face and hands + Movement (transmigration) of souls into another body + Punishments of the body in the grave. + Other matters of the soul and the secret of Divinity,

Zohar Chadash = Later additions to Zohar includes seventy commentaries called “Tikunim” and an additional eleven Tikkunim. = Focuses on the beginning and the way of Sod to reveal the hidden and mystical aspects of the Torah. + The idea of the Four Worlds. In the Jewish view the teaching of the Sod in the book of the Zohar was not invented in the Tannaic period, but rather it is a tradition from ancient times and they built and founded their Kabbalah on these roots of the Torah given by God to Moshe on Sinai.

Zohar = Moral perfection of man influences the ideal world theory of ten creative forces that intervene between the infinite, unknowable God and our created world. = The Tree of Life itself is dependent upon man: Jew alone can bring about the integration of the divine in the Jew (effusion). = Concept somewhat akin to the concept of UNSELFISH SERVE TO DISADVANTAGED AND THIS ENLIVENS THE UNIVERSE. By the practice of virtue and by moral perfection, man may increase the outpouring of heavenly grace. = Even physical life is subservient to virtue.

Zohar = Says there can be NO generosity or goodness in heaven, until man (Jew) has prayed for it.

Zohar = Assumes four kinds of Biblical text interpretations = From literal to mystical (highest part of integration with the creator) = Four fold meanings:

#1 The simple, literal meaning of the text
#2 Hinted or symbolic meaning
#3 Rabbinic sermon or illustration/Image
#4 Secret/mysterious/hidden meaning = Sod

Zohar = Mystical Judaism (not Rational Judaism) = Mystical belief that the Godhead is complex, rather than simple, and that divinity is dynamic and incorporates gender, having both male and female dimensions that must be joined together or united to maintain the harmony of the universe. = Metaphysical point of view of TWO GODS or two aspects to God being united (“theoeroticism”).

Zohar = Was lauded by many rabbis because it opposed religious formality and stimulated one’s imagination and emotions, and for many people helped reinvigorate the experience of prayer (and probably sex) = Made prayer less a religious exercise and more FUN by transcending to union with God (combining sexes). BUT The Zohar was censured by many rabbis because of superstitious beliefs and mystical dreaming and an over-excited (sexual) imagination with spirits, demons, and all kinds of good and bad influences.

Zohar = Appealed to many as it replaced the boring 613 commandments with mystic sex and demons and whatever a Jew could dream up in the imagination = Produced a strong tendency to substitute mystic Judaism in the place of traditional rabbinic Judaism. Every ceremony performed was considered to have an influence upon the superior world. = A god on earth feeling for Zohar Jews. In 16th and 17th centuries mysticism of the Zohar and its erotic terminology was used to illustrate the relations between man and God. = Sensuous pleasures + Intoxication = To reach the highest degree of divine love and ecstasy with God (both sexes united).

Zohar = 17th century = Proposed that only Jewish men 40+ years old could study Kabbalah, and read the Zohar.

Zohar = Founded in the 3rd century CE by Plotinus, The Neoplatonist clearly matches the Zohar with the concept of creation + Divine Wisdom + “One beyond being” + Primordial unity + Self-completion + Ascending back toward God through spiritual contemplation.

Zohar & Kabbalistic theology = Reach the level of perceiving the truth of the paradox, that all is One, spiritual and physical Creation being nullified into absolute Divine Monotheism. = Mystery from within the Divine Unity allows man to perceive and relate to God = The Divine Presence of The Unknowable One = He allows natural happenings to be seen as natural instead of God’s act. = It is only through a blurry lens; as opposed to miracles, in which we clearly see and recognize God’s presence in the world. = The Holy Ancient One is imperceivable.

Zohar = Allows the souls of the Nations (GOYIM) to be elevated through adherence to the 7 Laws of Noah, that bring them to absolute Divine Unity and away from any false plural perspectives (Christianity or Muslim religions).

Zohar Kabbalah = Especially in Hasidism = In the view of Kabbalah no Jew would worship the supernal community souls of the Jewish people, or the Rabbinic leader of the generation, nor the totality of Creation’s unity in God itself, as Judaism innately perceives the absolute Monotheism of God. = One prays “to Him, not to His attributes”.

Zohar = Unlike Christianity coming of the Messiah is the arrival of the true immanence of God. = In Zohar the Messiah is believed to be the bringer of Divine Light = “The Light shineth in the Darkness and the Darkness has never put it out…for no man has seen God…” = Jesus violates the JEWS DEMAND FOR UNITY OF THE THREE as Jesus was only the flesh part of GOD. = Jews believe in God’s undivided unity. So Christians represent the weakness of the human mind.
Zohar = Has been relatively obscure and unread in the Jewish world in recent times, particularly outside of Israel. Many still follow the 40+ age rule for reading the Zohar, especially since the FAKE Messiah Shabbetai Tzvi debacle followed by the Frankists debacle.

Zohar = Effect in motivating mitzvah performance = “…by learning the Zohar, desire is generated for all types of study of the holy Torah; and the holy wording of the Zohar greatly arouses [a person]…” = Regarding any mitzvah, the cry that it shouts out, “Woe to him! Woe to his soul!” regarding one who turns away from the service of Jewish God
