text: Kabbalah is Jewish mysticism. It's a radically different interpretation of the Hebrew bible.\n\nFor instance "God said, 'let there be light" ... Kabbalah => "And man was given a consciousness to perceive god."\n\nAnother example is god made a flood because Noah did not argue, he just listened and made an ark to save himself.\n\nKabbalah is completely spiritual, and does not interpret scripture literally.\n\nKabbalah = Jewish mysticism\nGnosticism = Christian mysticism\nSufism = Islamic mysticism
