Kabbalah - it is very difficult and to some extent even paradoxical doctrine is very different from the concept of thinking of those ideas, which are peculiar to thinking of the majority of Europeans. On the other hand, the inherent Kabbalah mystery, incompleteness, and symbolic imagery pronounced mysticism plaque were perhaps the most intriguing its qualities that attracted thereto plurality thinkers prone to the occult. However, the important thing: they all saw in Kabbalah refraction characteristic of western occult ideas and propositions - that all the great diversity of the phenomena of the universe, young and old is a certain unity; that all things and phenomena are parts ordered whole; that the universe itself and all the hidden relationships between phenomena which, at first glance, seem to be chaotic and did not related to each other, in fact, control the mysterious laws; that letters and numbers are full of meaning important key to understanding the laws of the universe; that inspiration and imagination is much faster and more reliable can lead to the attainment of the ultimate truth than the proverbial common sense; that man - is both God and the Universe in miniature; and finally, the most important thing - that there is a spiritual path, going that people can free themselves from the purely human limitations, and therefore - to become a superman and understand God.

In this sense, of great interest is a special aspect of the teachings - the so-called practical Kabbalah is based on the belief that with the help of special rituals, prayers and internal volitional acts a person can actively intervene in the history of the process (eg, zoom Messiah), for each "stimulation from below" (from the man) always corresponds to the "arousal from above " (from God).
