or Cabbala Jewish mysticism as it developed in the 12th century and after. Essentially an oral tradition, it laid claim to secret wisdom of the unwritten Torah communicated by God to Adam and Moses. It provided Jews with a direct approach to God, a notion regarded as heretical and pantheistic by Orthodox Judaism. A major text was the 12th-century Book of Brightness, which introduced the doctrine of transmigration of souls to Judaism and provided Kabbala with extensive mythical symbolism. In 13th-century Spain the tradition included the Book of the Image, which asserted that each cycle of history had its own Torah, and the Book of Splendour, which dealt with the mystery of creation. In the 16th century the centre of Kabbala was Safed, Galilee, where it was based on the esoteric teachings of the greatest of all Kabbalists, Isaac ben Solomon Luria. The doctrines of Lurianic Kabbala, which called for Jews to achieve a cosmic restoration (Hebrew: tiqqun) through an intense mystical life and an unceasing struggle against evil, were influential in the development of modern Hasidism

The Hebrew word "Kabbalah" means in its literal sense "to receive" and this refers to the communication between God and Moses In Judaism many mystics believe there are two versions of the bible, the written Bible, (The Torah and 5 books of Moses) and the verbal Bible, the Kabbalah Jewish mystics believe that both versions were related to Moses on his visit to Mt Sinai The Kabbalah is the ancient Hebrew esoteric philosophy based on a mystical interpretation of the Bible - not the mundane Jewish mystics believe the Bible is also a book within a book and that the Bible is actually telling humanity about the circuitry of the universe The Kabbalah, in modern times, has also become merged with the numerological layers of the Hebrew alphabet and our Bible - more commonly known as The Bible code It presents a symbolic explanation of the origin of the universe and relates all things to their supreme archetypes
