Kabbalah and Jesus

Was Jesus a Kabbalist?

Almost certainly. Many people now believe that Jesus travelled to India and even further afield during the 'missing years' before he began his ministry. This is because his teaching appears to reflect Eastern faiths.

He may well have done—but there would have been absolutely no need for him to do so; everything he taught is true to Kabbalistic teaching which was known as Merkabah (Chariot) at that time.

How can you tell?

Everything the Gospels tell us about Jesus show that he knew his Jewish law and understood its inner implications. He was a Jew, not a Christian—and so many people forget that.

But there are more definite indications too. Some of them are:

• John the Baptist was the son of a Kabbalist—Zachariah was a priest of ABIA—Azilut, Beriah, Yezirah (I and Y are interchangeable in Hebrew) Asiyyah. These are the names of the four worlds as shown in Jacob's Ladder.
• There are four gospels—Matthew is the gospel of Asiyyah, the physical world, Mark is Yezirah, the psychological world, Luke is Beriah, the spiritual world and John is Azilut, the world of the Divine.
• The Lord's Prayer is a Kabbalistic prayer, running down the central column of Jacob's Ladder.
• The patterns of the Gospels, such as the ten miracles in Matthew and the seven diatribes against the Pharisees, follow the order of the sephirot on The Tree of Life.
• The Book of Hebrews talks of Jesus being 'a priest after the order of Melchisedek' which is the Kabbalistic line. Melchisedek initiated Abraham and Sarah into the Teaching.

The study of the Teachings of Jesus through the Toledano Tradition of Kabbalah is still in its infancy but small groups throughout the world are sharing their knowledge on Kabbalah 30 AD—and books are currently being written.

I think it's really important to go back to the roots of who Jesus was and what he said. Many of us born into the Christian faith were raised on second-hand religion. If we spoke of angels we were told to stop dreaming. If we questioned rituals or the Bible we came up against walls of incomprehension. We were told that astrology, Healing, Self-Esteem and Reincarnation were incompatible with Christian religious belief and many of us turned to "The New Age" throwing our conventional faith out of the window.

But there is still a feeling of puzzlement, anger and loss about the belief system we were born into and wanted to make special. I believe that studying Kabbalah and the Teachings of Jesus can heal that rift. We don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
