I started to study Kabbalah this past Summer. They tell me to scan the 72 names of god or the Zohar to get value.
CAN A PERSON JUST SCAN with thier hands and get any benifits, or is this a brain washing? I can read some, but not everything.
Please reply… Thank you.
Answer:
I don’t see any benefit of scanning with one’s hands. Perhaps there might be a benefit of visual scanning, meaning the perpetual sight of the Name(s), even without understanding it, because the form of the Name has holiness, and can inspire a person to spiritual achievement.
One must in general be suspicious of kabbalah teachers who are not thoroughly grounded in the practice of Judaism. Soaring to the heights and depths of kabbalah can only come in conjunction with leading a life of purity in the ways of the Torah.
That is a good explanation – it resonates with me completely.
