I have just recently subscribed and I am thoroughly enjoying your musings Mr Wolf. (If that even is your real name) 🤔 Your biblical posts are very interesting and thought provoking. I am an exceedingly curious creature and have a voracious appetite for knowledge. Can’t understand the folks that get all offended.
Thank you to you and your acolytes for your generous sharing of time and knowledge. 🙏💖
Cosmic brokenness: According to Lurianic Kabbalah, the exile is not just a historical event but a cosmic one. After an initial divine contraction (tzimtzum), a subsequent cataclysm known as the "shattering of the vessels" (shevirat ha-kelim) occurred. The resulting divine sparks became trapped in the material world, creating a state of exile and fragmentation.
Separation from God: In this state, the Shekhinah—the divine feminine—is seen as separated from her male divine counterpart, represented by the sefirah Tiferet. The union of these two aspects is the goal of mystical practice..
The role of the exiled soul
In Lurianic Kabbalah, the human soul is understood as containing divine sparks (nitzotzot) that have also become exiled or entrapped in the material world. This means that the individual soul's redemption is intrinsically tied to the redemption of the Shekhinah.
The path to redemption
Redemption is a joint effort between humanity and the divine.
Human actions: This elevates the exiled divine sparks and brings the Shekhinah closer to her original unified state.
The ultimate ascent: The goal is for both the human soul and the Shekhinah to complete their descent into the darkest parts of exile, ultimately bringing about the greatest possible spiritual ascent.
Messianic Age: The complete unification of the divine feminine and masculine aspects and the elevation of all the exiled sparks will usher in the messianic age.
Lurianic Kabbalistic thought also taught that the recovery of the original unity cannot come about without the aid of man, for which purpose he was created and sent down into the place of the shells which is our world. The restoration of the original unity is a collective venture each individual must set out and accomplish for himself, for the restoration of his exiled soul is his own responsibility.
This doctrine studied in Poland was Lurianic Kabbalism
The exiled soul is the Shekinah and the Alchemist's goal is to retrieve the light trapped within the darkness.
This is just another opportunity to see the glass half full instead of half empty.
Thank you for this excellent article. It’s so easy for American Christians to confuse “Christian culture” with the true spiritual life found in Christ. As a functional nutritionist, I’m trained to look at the root cause of dysfunction, and I find your articles and historical insight incredibly helpful in explaining the origins of what we’re experiencing today.
An interesting observation from my perspective: two prominent sins that often appear in the darkest periods of history are sexual sin and child sacrifice. These patterns seem to go hand in hand.
The real lie might be the year 1666 being in the past.
Supported by a Hellenistic adjustment to the Greek language in around AD 500 and, coincidentally, just before the lights were essentially cut until the…drumroll…. Renaissance. The 1500s rebirth of a crap ton of narratives, both secular and religious, straight from the asses of a bunch of “some guys.”
Part of Satan's long game strategy from the day of the Messiah’s resurrection.
For all you know, I am Yeshua Ben Yosef and I am trying to warn you foolish humans that the Sabbatean death cult that worships Azazel freed him from Dudael using CERN and intend on harvesting you all to make Babylon candles out of your rendered fat in the near future but people like you would never believe me because you are trapped in this dogmatic misunderstanding of everything. You claim you are a ‘Christian’ but I bet you pay your taxes on time every year - with a large portion of that money going to fund weapons production and the wholesale slaughter of innocent children all around the globe but there’s no blood on your hands, right? Your ‘God’ is your bank account not my God. Don’t agree? Then sell everything you own tomorrow, donate it all to random people in the ghetto, and spend the rest of your life living in abject poverty… but you won’t do that because your ‘God’ is money. You sold your soul a long time ago.
It is a trainwreck that is for certain. At this point, I just want to get the apocalypse over with so I can take a well-deserved dirt nap for a few billion years.
Brother, your message comes to me at a time when I feel I am at a crossroads.
Thankfully appreciated.
Just keep grinding brother. It is only a matter of time before it all falls apart and the world gets to meet the Creator face-to-face.

At least that's the way I see it.

Beware false prophets. They are everywhere. Jesus is the answer.
Insanely compelling article ! Thank you.
Kabbalah: An Introduction and Illumination for the World Today by Charles Ponce.
This book came out in 1973 and was recommended to me me by a Jewish Philosophy Professor whose classes I had taken while at university.
Most everything that you need to know about the Kabbalah is in this book.
With very little reference to magic and spells, this book is Jewish mysticism for the most part. Great book to get your feet wet...

In my reading, WW does encourage accepting Jesus.
