Isaic Luria
is also called "The Ari" or "Arizal" it means the lion.In the region of Ottoman Palestine he was a jewish mystic and rabbi.He is thought to be the father of contemporary kaballah.He wrote only a few poems and his teachings are known as Lurianic kaballah.His disciples compiled his oral teachings into written liteture. IN 1534 he was born in Jerusalem. His father died when he was a boy and he was raised by his uncle on his mothers side. He had taught him under the best jewish scholars.The teacher David ibn Zimra was one of these.Luria had qualities about learning rabinnic letiure and under the care of his jewish uncle Rabbi Bezalel Ashkenazi Luria gained and benefited from and became at ease with the branch of jewish learning.Marrying at 15 he became involved in the study of the Zohar around 22 years of age.The Zohar is a major piece of work from the kaballah, soon after he became a recluse and moved to the banks of the Nile where for seven years he isolated himself and Luria meditated.He visited his family on the Shabbat speaking only seldomly and only in Hebrew.The important part of his kabilistic system was Chaim Vital having composed it and also The Tree of life -Etz Chayim. Writing many numerous other books they were ment to stay in Palestine until one was brought to Europe and published in 1772. The meditive teachings of Kabalistic leterure based on the Zohar. They are devine 'faces"manifestations of the godhead.And so Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai says Whatever I said of the Holy Ancient-One, and whatever I said of the Zeir Anpin, is all One; everything is absolutely One. There is no division in Him, blessed be He and blessed be His Name forever. The sum of all this is: the Ancient of the Ancient and the Zeir Anpin are absolutely One. All is, was, and shall be; He will not change, He is unchanging, and he has not changed...Should you ask, what then is the difference between one and the other? It is all One, but from above His paths divide and from below judgement is found; from our perspective they differ one from another. FOR CYNDI'S PAPER: MONDAYS PAPER IMAGE LOCATION FROM:
