We are all in such a unique journey home to God, Spirit, or whatever you call the Life Force... Souls like Madonna assist other Souls -- all mirrors of God in their own way -- to realize who we truly are and why we are here. It's true, not everyone is for Kabbalah, just like not everyone is for Eckankar or Sikhism or any other spiritual path. Are you soul searching? Maybe the HU (mantra, name of God) has something to offer you... Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe3Aajrtk0w Or also go to Eckankar.org Happy journey home to God, whichever is the right path for your heart!

MY DEAR MADDY, PLEASE BEWARE THAT WHAT YOU ARE STUDYING IS ERSATZ JUDAISM. YOU CAN FIND THE REAL JUDAISM BY GOING INTO ANY SYNAGOGUE AND PRAYING WITH THE PEOPLE THERE, FROM REFORM (WHICH U'D PROBABLY PREFER) TO ORTHODOX (A LITTLE RIDGID, BUT STILL THE SAME TRUTH). BEWARE KABBALAH WHICH IS SATAN'S WAY OF ENTERING AND TAKING OVER PEOPLE'S SOULS. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JUDAISM AND HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH EVIL. THE JEWS BROUGHT THESE NEGATIVE WICKED WITCHCRAFT HABITS BACK WITH THEM FROM BABILONIA WHEN THEY WERE EXILED. IT IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND IN THE TORAH. IT EVOLVED THOUSANDS OF YEARS AFTER JUDAISM EVOLVED. BEWARE, SAVE YOUR SOUL, JOIN TRUE BELIEF IN ONE G-D! - JOIN JUDAISM INSTEAD! SHALOM TO YOU MADDY!

Show some compassion and save her life and the life of her child.

So you want her to stop helping the Malawi children?

The Shattering of the Vessels an interesting concept.

Quote : “Thus we say in our prayers, "...and they accepted (God's) malchut [monarchial reign] willingly."” To accept God’s monarchical reign willingly means that one has surrendered himself to God ; means, that one has become a servant of God. The next point to be made is that UNLESS one loves God -- he /she can NOT surrender himself/herself to God willingly. Another valid point to be made is this : unless one knows God (i.e. YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord) -- how can he/she love God ? CONCLUSION : Without being a lover of God, one can NOT be a servant of God. (God being YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord.) BTW if one wants to understand Kabbalah correctly one is advised to pray to Moses the Law Giver for guidance in his/her spiritual life. Because without Moses the Law Giver one will have NO chance to approach YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord, at all. BTW praying to Moses the Law Giver for guidance implies that one is humble. When YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord, sees that you are humble in front of Moses the Law Giver -- YAHWEH, the Supreme Lord, will start to make arrangements for your spiritual advancement. Please have no doubts about this. Please be convinced about this.

I used to study Kabbalah in LA Kabbalah Center. and even met the lady there. However this is the pop version of Kabbalah and plus they make you pay lots of money ans asking for money every chanve they have. Another thing they don't teach from Authenti.c books but from pop books bt Mickel and Rav Berg Since then I discovered authentic Kabbalah and i am happy I did because it is really the real thing. The link is www. kab.tv or kabbalah.info. THey have a FREE thousand of hours video and audio plus free books you can download

since the Ari time check www.kabbalah.info You will find authentic information when and why it is allowed to everyone. I agrree with you that kabbalah Center is no authentic Kabbalah but a business venture.I know it because I have spent years there and know whats going on. The only authentic Kabbalah is in israel Bnei Baruch. They have a TV channel 66 andyou can watch 24/7 in internet. You have also tons of material video audio books and all free download. Plus they have LIVE lessons 3 hours every day 5 to 8 pm LA time. Thei website is in 25 languages and live lessons are translated into 7 languages live. www.kab.tv/eng

40 years in kabbalah means "bina". all the words you read are coded. for example "israel" = yashar el, or "mizraim" = metzer yam, or when it says that the messiah will come riding on a white donkey, it means nothing else than: "chamor" = chumra (all of our ego) and "lavan" = meluban (fixed), which he turned to altruism. the code was made by spiritual leaders to keep this "science" away from the people for the time of being here. since 1995 it is a must for every jewish soul (jewish comes from "yechud", together) to "fix" his soul from egoism to altruism, and then be "or le goim" (pass god's light to all the nations, etc. it's quiet intresting, check out kab.tv shabat shalom

Well written, but one EFFECTS change, not AFFECT

Though you have the right for your opinion, I would have to disagree. Anyone, rich or poor can take the time. It's up too you what you choose to do with your time. You don't have to be a millionaire to do everything in this world, and a lot of things are free: walking on the beach, looking up at the stars, etc....the stuff we take for granted. Madonna is a very smart lady, and now that she has raised awareness about Malawi and has the funds to help this poor nation, then others whom have wealth will do the same thing. Because everything comes around full circle. I sometimes feel sorry for Madonna, because she can't really ever go out and just be alone with her family without someone trying to snap a picture or invade her privacy. Her time should be her time, then when she's working I can understand the publicity stuff. She has taught me to respect myself. peace-out!

Madonna is a joke. She keeps her name Madonna, mocking her birth religion and the Blessed Mary, to make more $ by being "edgy" and irreverent. She has a hormone surge and sees the answer while peddling her sacrilegious tramp show. No problem corrupting other people's children while shielding her own. She should change her name to Kaballah Kween and put it to a Reggae beat.

I understand the lack of pressing issues in Israel is enough to turn a news agency to any means of publishing necessary but this is beyond useless. Am Yisrael has enough problems before having to explain why someone who parades the goods in pleather and fishnets finds spiritual enlightenment in our traditions and ideology. Yes, it is super trendy, and she has found something meaningful in it. Super. I think dressing in long black robes and throwing a pillow case on my head makes sense, but that doesn't make me a nun, nor does it make me the spokesperson for the Catholic international PR campaign. It makes me some outsider looking in, trying to make meaning of a world, reducing our highly developed way of life into some sort of salad bar for when your down on your own sense of personal direction. It's nice that Goyim want to learn some pulp-Judaism, but let us not give it any more importance than that. Next time we need a spokesperson, we should think of employing some Avodah Ivri. We have enough problems sorting out our foreign workers here.

I am a huge Madonna fan, but I can't help but think her "life changing" experience with Kaballah is really just being suckered into something very simple. And very expensive, no doubt. No person off the street would get the attention she gets from the people running the Kaballa dog and pony show. She's a spokeswoman and a huge source of income in one. Furthermore, I'm sure the Kaballah is a great, ancient source of religious wisdom. What the people marketing Kaballah these days have done, however, is simplified it and doled it out as "profound" to people in need of something in life. I think celebrities get involved with these cults because they have everything -- more money than they can ever spend, good looks, and adoration from the masses. Yet they are still not happy, still have the same insecurities as the rest of us. Seriously, what is Michael Berg possibly teaching Madonna about the actual discipline of physics? It's hard to believe people get sucked into this inane talk about "energy" and think it's science. On a final note, does one really need a well funded faux-religious organization to get things like "cause and effect" and "be nice to people" and "your words and actions effect others"? Give me a break. But I love you Madonna!!

AT HER STAGE OF LFE,WITH HER INVESTIGATIVE MIND,I AM SURPRISED SHE NEEDS TO BE TOLD THAT SHE HAS BUILT THE "TOP OF THE PYRAMID BEFORE THE BASE"IT WOULD BE IN HER INTERESTS TO KNOW THE STRUCTURE OF "JUDAISM"FIRST.THEREFORE THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE LESS ORDEAL FORMS OF JUDAISM WOULD SUIT HER...GO FOR A REFORM OR LIBERALRABBI"S TEACHING AS THE FIRST STEP INORDER TO SEEK THE TRUE PATH AND FURTHER MOTIVATION IN THE PURSUITE OF "OUR TRUE "G"D'....ANY CHANCE OF HER SEEING THIS ?

Here is what one very vindictive critic thinks of Madonna while exploiting the chance to bash as many aspects of Israel as she can fit into one superficial article. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2009/aug/01/madonna-kaballah-column?showallcomments=true

From the Tanakh . . . "For I am God, and there is no other. I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done . . ." (Isaiah 46:9-10) Bible prophecy allows both the diligent and the skeptical to test God's word. The Bible is God's Word and He proves it by including many, many prophecies which would (and will) happen in the future. Bible prophecy is also God's way of warning those on Earth of the great danger which now lies ahead. The Bible warns a single generation will see the fulfillment of many extraordinary prophecies, beginning with Israel gathered back into her Land as a nation ... and ending with the Rapture, Armageddon, and Messiah's Return. We believe the generation the Bible warns about is alive today. We expect you to challenge this statement. To do so, simply learn what the Bible says, study the news, study your history books (to see if these things have or even could have happened before), pray for wisdom, and then decide. Many prophecies are given so we will return to God and draw close to Him before it's too late ... for God promises to provide hope, comfort, and shelter for all who will receive it through the One He sent forth - Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) - called "Savior" because He willingly and lovingly laid down His life for us as our Sacrifice (once and for all) to save us from our sins and from the darkness, aloneness, and torment of Hell. The message found in the Bible is not trivial ... it is STAGGERING!!! A short Bible Prophecy “equation” to help show how close we are ... + Israel back in her Land again as a nation + Iran and allies threatening war against Israel + Russia rising as a powerful military threat ... and acting as a "guard" for Iran + China and allies armed with weapons capable of quickly destroying 1/3 of mankind + 'Weak mixed with strong' nations of the Roman Empire reuniting and rising in power (Europe?) + Teachings of 'false Prophets' deceiving and leading many + A Generation which is 'marked' by being "morally corrupt" and "filled with violence" (The Bible uses the word 'corrupt' - like smelly, rotting meat) + 'The falling away'... churches and synagogues no longer teaching or "enduring" sound doctrine + Israel and Jerusalem . . . trouble, troubles, and more trouble + All nations turning against nation Israel . . . = The Generation of the Rapture ... the Apocalypse ... Armageddon ... and Messiah's Return. For the first time in history this prophetic "equation" is nearly complete . . . And all in THIS generation!!! "Search from the book of the LORD, and read: not one of these (prophecies) shall fail; not one shall lack her mate. For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them." (Isaiah 34:16) Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) warns never in the history of mankind has there ever been anything as terrible as the coming "Apocalypse"... "For there WILL be Great Tribulation such has not been since the beginning of the world until this time no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened no flesh (on Earth) would be saved" (Matthew 24:21-22) "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that WILL come to pass . . ." (through Jesus Christ's worthiness ... not ours) (Luke 21:36) Grace and Shalom, www.alphanewsdaily.com

There are a lot of "I"'s in this article, almost every paragraph begins with I, me. How enlightening is that?

It's a shame people are so bitter and judgmental when it comes to others beliefs. Everyone see's everything through their own eyes and perspective. I hope for you to find a better sense of Peace in your life. Why do you care about which water she drinks?
