And there's lots to learn from that about God and God's nature and the practice of a religious discipline in the world. And just as far as I'm concerned, human beings can't know everything. But Kabbalah understands that, too. I think we probably part ways on how much *is* knowable and what to make of it. *shrug* To each their own.

I haven't quite figured out how to reconcile conservative/reform Judaism with my own non-traditional beliefs, and perhaps mysticism has some of the answers for me. But if the answers are knowable, as Kabbalah seems to claim, is it really mysticism anymore? Way too confusing for me to wrap my brain around! I like this post.
