Kabbalah...(Sabbatai Zevi)...Kaaba Allah

     Kabbalah is a mystical Jewish Tradition ("Receiving").  It is recommended that Kabbalah not be studied until reaching a certain mature age (40, I believe).  Found with various spellings ("Spells", mystical combinations of letters) that you may look up, modern-day Kabbalah has been associated with celebrities like Madonna, Demi Moore, and Mick Jagger.  If appropriate, you may look up more information about it.

 The Qabalistic Tree of Life

  ...Sabbatai Zevi, known by some as "The false Messiah", was a Jewish Kabbalist circa the year 1666 (In the era of Isaac Newton) who converted from Judaism to Islam.  With an interesting approach to life and Religion he has been called "The most notorious Jewish Messiah claimant since Jesus of Nazareth" and his followers, known as the Sabbateans, still exist to this day...

"Sabbatai Zevi enthroned"

from Tikkun, Amsterdam, 1666.

     The similarity of the word "Kabbalah" to the words "Kaaba" and "Allah" is, I find, most fortuitous as it reveals an underlying unity between 2 different Religious Traditions (Judaism and Islam), especially in this day and age!  In light of this syncretism we may build further Religious unification, even going so far as to unite Religion and Science with this formula (or "Spell"):

The Big Bang

Cosmic Plasma

Stars are ORGASMIC!

,in other words,

Divine Love

Proof of Yahweh

Proof of God

Proof of Allah

The Greatest Rock Song Ever?

     "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin remains a rock masterpiece to this day.  Probably loved and known by more people than any other rock song ever, it's theme remains timeless (The Song Remains The Same).  Perhaps overplayed, yes, and even undervalued, it's greatness appears to increase (As Time Goes By)...

"And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our soul

There walks a lady we all know

who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold

And if you listen very hard

The truth will come to you at last

When all is one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll"

How fitting it would be then that "The Greatest Rock Song Ever" (in my opinion) could be thought to end with an allusion to the Philosopher's Stone!  "To be a rock and not to roll".  To be a rock.  A stone.  Ergo, a Philosopher's Stone.  Stone Free on the Third Stone from the Sun like Jimi Hendrix.  In this evil age of dark shadows signs of the "White Light" at the end of the tunnel abound and now are confirmed...everything still turns to gold.  "The truth will come to you at last.  When all is one and one is all".  Here is one live version of "Stairway to Heaven" for you to consider:

  

"Crystal Ball"

     ...From Philosopher's Stone to Philosopher's Rock...performed by the band Styx and the Contemporary Youth Orchestra (...stoned, I saw and heard Styx in in our "high" school gym when they were a local Chicago area band A Long Time Ago...  :) this "Crystal Ball" is an underrated Rock Gem!
