The Kabbalah ain't gnostic in the slightest. Ah, what more can I expect from a Catholic woman whose idea of interviewing a Kabbalah scholar is Gershom Shalom? Shalom is a hack academic, not a respected Kabbalist.
"Shalom is a hack academic, not a respected Kabbalist"
What constitutes a respected Kabbalist?
Work left uncompleted in this life is undertaken again in a future life until the task of transformation is done. Reincarnation is a fundamental tenet of Kabbalah. The world and our place in it cannot be understood without this key principle. (The Way, p. 86)
Is this what you believe?
