Since joining I hadn't seen much happen here.
Hopefully I am not overstepping the bounds of this tribe.
This post is a bit cross-disciplinary.

Re: Four Is A Magic Number
Wed, June 4, 2008 - 5:12 PMGuys, I'm new here and appreciate being admitted.
But my study of Hebrew is still rudimentary.
In fact many people's is. I really would love to learn Hebrew.
I can google terms, I do that a lot, but could you leave a (...)
with the english word inside? I would appreciate it so much.
I'm sure others will too. We just might grow the readership
and participation of this tribe. -

Re: Four Is A Magic Number
Wed, June 4, 2008 - 5:22 PMThis is one of the things I found for the word 'echad':
www.restorationfoundation.org/vol....htm
Please instruct me what it (this concept) means. I haven't read it all yet,
but I will. Ummm, 248 is one number away from the moment of my birth,
Oct 21, 1970 2:47 pm.
I found the number interesting to remember for some reason years ago,
I see it repeatedly now, in addition to others. I've even found some ideas
to link it to in the Kabbalah.

Re: Four Is A Magic Number
Wed, June 4, 2008 - 5:06 PMThank you, kind moderator.
I need to understand the greater depth of Jewish mysticism.
Now is truly the time. Thank you for your light. Send light back up to God.
Can you give your descriptions of the Archangels spheres of influence,
And describe what the Otiot are? It would be much appreciated.
I see the letters, does that mean the first four letters?
I honestly had never been much of a multiple-poster or spammer before,
but I blogged this and also put it in the Kabbalah tribe to see what responses I would get.
I linked to things both to share and remind myself to study.
I really wish everyone would start sharing whatever inspiration about Kabalah and God
they have here or in other such tribes as it is much needed.
One thing I did not mention is the 4th sephirah is the first on this side of the Abyss, and it means Mercy, right?
I really don't know if Daath has a number, I've speculated before, but it might truly be numberless.
Still, my speculations have granted me some interesting ideas.
I really think that experience of the grand visions God gives are hard to describe,
and if something seems to be a dead-end, in some cases it's because you have to keep digging.
You just might break through into some other tunnel someone started from the other side.

Re: Four Is A Magic Number
Wed, June 4, 2008 - 6:42 PMThank you for visiting both threads with your wisdom.
Feel free to describe further any point you have or others
have brought up, if you have the knowledge.
I really was not brought up in much of a religious background.
I have not attended a church in years, though I would like to.
The thing that has drawn me in is the Kabbalah.
It's been a wild ride.
We need to discuss all the relevant topics that pertain to what is occuring.
The spiritual elements of our traditions must be shared. We need to collect
all those wisdoms and figure out what they say to us about this time and its events.
I've done a lot of research, and I really do feel that something is afoot.
Just what... has yet to be determined. But I'm confident that it will turn out well. -
