61. El Huerto Del Nogal - Kabalah - Reencarnación O Guilgul Translate this page b) abraham bar hiyya, (1150 aprox.) en Meditación del alma triste. c)Yehudáh Haleví (1100 aprox.) no menciona el Guilgul en su obra. http://www.elhuertodelnogal.com.ar/kabalahreencarnacion.htm

Reencarnación o Guilgul Kohelet (Eclesiastés) 1,4: “Una generación se va y otra viene, más la tierra permanece”. Resulta obvio, por lo menos para algunos, destacar que el judaísmo y el cristianismo son resurreccionistas. Por ello la visión de la reencarnación se dificulta en varios sentidos: a) No es oficial ni bien entendida la creencia en la reencarnación y por ello no aceptada. b) No resulta sencillo encontrar antecedentes para justificar su existencia, sobre todo si los mismos apuntan a ser oficiales. c) Sólo en la Kabalah, o en un desprendimiento del judaísmo (el movimiento karaíta, primera etapa de Anan ben David, su fundador en el siglo octavo e.c.), encontramos antecedentes serios. En la Kabalah la reencarnación ocupa un lugar trascendente en líneas de pensamiento importantes, como veremos más adelante. Habíamos mencionado como la Resurrección se relacionaba con un retorno de la muerte con el mismo cuerpo en concordancia al momento final de la vida del mismo.

63. Horoscopes And History abraham bar hiyya (XI), Abraham ibn Ezra (XII) and Yosef ben Eliezer (XIV) are goodexamples of what astrology could signify for some educated members of the http://home.planet.nl/~stuck008/hh_abstracts.html

Horoscopes and History Abstracts of Papers Josèphe-Henriette Abry: What was Agrippina Waiting For (Tacitus, Ann. XII, 68-69)? Everyone has heard of the famous night when, after Claudius’death, Agrippina had been playing the part of a weeping widow, preventing news from being spread and preventing Claudius’ children from leaving home, until “tempusque prosperum ex monitis Chaldaeorum adventaret,” according to the words of Tacitus. It was about noon when the doors were opened and Nero finally appeared. Tacitus’ description is precise enough to cast the horoscope of that moment and to understand how a person deeply steeped in astrology can compel fate and manipulate history Dieter Blume: Art and Astrology in the Italian Communes of the Middle Ages The paper will characterize the use of astrological imagery in the Italian communes in the 13th and 14th centuries. From the 13th century on special buildings had been erected for the communal institutions and a variety of iconographies in fresco painting or sculptures were used for the decoration. Astrological themes play a crucial role here, but usually these paintings explain general principles and do not show specific horoscopes. There are significant exceptions from this rule in Siena and Florence, though, which also throw an interesting light on popular beliefs. Jean-Patrice Boudet: Horoscopes of the Foundations of Cities: Myth and Realities Tommaso Campanella’s horoscopes of Civitas Solis may be considered as little masterpieces of astrological utopy. But did catarchic horoscopes of that kind ever really exist? Did horoscopes of the foundations of cities correspond to interrogations about an ideal future, a problematic present, or a distant and glorious or catastrophic past? Answers will be proposed for some historical examples: Rome, Constantinople, Gaza, Bagdad, Cairo, Vittoria (near Parma, founded by Frederick II in 1247), Florence, Venice, Bologna, Milan.

70. The Infancy Narratives In Matthew And Luke The Jewish writers abraham bar hiyya (about 1100 AD) and Isaac Abravanel (14371508)both believed that the triple conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Pisces http://elvis.rowan.edu/~kilroy/CHRISTIA/library/infancy1.html

The Infancy Narratives in Matthew and Luke by James Kiefer PART ONE INTRODUCTION THE STAR AND THE MAGI THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM A COMET OR NOVA? Let us consider the opening of the second chapter of Matthew: + Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of + Herod the king, there came Magi from the East to Jerusalem + saying, "Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have + seen his star in the rising and have come to pay him homage." THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM A PLANETARY CONJUNCTION? AN ASTROLOGY LESSON JUPITER, SATURN, AND PISCES Matthew describes the wise men as seeing a star and deducing that it heralded the birth of a great king. Whatever else the wise men were, they were astrologers that is, they believed that the motions and appearances of the heavenly bodies foretold earthly events. Now a simple conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, such as happened every twenty years, would not seem especially significant, but a triple conjunction would receive more attention. What would astrologers of that time take it to mean? Jupiter was regarded as the royal planet, the sign of kings. Therefore the conjunction would have been taken to indicate a royal event, such as the birth of a king.

71. A Breath Of Life view the NARAN is the kabbalist acronym originated in the Torah and was developedby the Jewish neoplatonists, Abraham ibn Ezra and abraham bar hiyya. http://www.hebrewbookofthedead.com/nishmat.html

A Breath of Life Rabbi Nachman of Breslav told of the king who sent his son to distant places to learn wisdom." When the son returned home he was well versed in all branches of knowledge. The king then told his son to take a large stone, the size of a millstone, and bring it up to the palace attic. The son looked at the stone and realized that he would not be able to lift it. It was a huge, heavy boulder. He felt very bad because he would not be able to fulfill his father's request. The king then explained his true intention to his son: "Did you really think that I wanted you to carry this huge boulder" Even with all your wisdom, you could not do it. My intention is that you take a hammer and break the boulder into small pieces. You will then be able to bring the entire boulder up into the attic." In this story from Outpouring of the Soul , translated by Aryeh Kaplan, the Rebbe addresses those of us struggling for enlightenment with hearts heavy as stone. What we must do, he said, "is take the hammer of words, and break and crumble our hearts of stone. And then we can lift our heart up to God." Bazak Four contains the words of Torah, the words

Contact Talmud Translated Page 204 - 208 p. 204 PART THREE THE ORDER OF SABORAIM AND GAONIM In Mitzvoth, 93, our master R. Moses of Coucy wrote that the Saboraim are the Gaonim who lived after the writing of the Talmud. R. Ashi commenced writing [the Talmud]. We therefore find that from the writing of the Mishna until the completion of the Talmud 311 (= ISH - man) years have passed. The Mishna was compiled in AM 3949 and the Talmud was sealed in AM 4260, 432 years after the Destruction. God, may He be blessed and glorified, shall build it for the sake of His name. Amen, may that be His will. It is currently 1000 years since the Talmud was sealed, as it took place 73 years after the death of R. Ashi. However, Yesod Olam claims that the Babylonian Talmud was concluded in the year 4265. There is therefore, a 5-year difference between them. The second generation of the Saboraim and afterwards was that of R. Aha b. Huna who was the head of the academy for one year. He died in 4275. After him, R. Samuel b. Abba was the head of the academy for 3 years and died in the year 4278. Following him Ravina b. Umza was the head of the academy for one year and he died in the year 4279. After him, R. Tachlifa was head of the academy for 7 years and he died in the year 4286. After him were R. Simona and R. Eina. R. Eina was in Sura and R. Simona in Pumbeditha. R. Simona lived until AM 4300. All these [Rabbis] were of one generation.

A Prayer For Those Who Don't Talk In Shul Translated and with a commentary by Rabbi Kenneth L. Cohen "Rabbi Hiyya said 'I have never concentrated on prayer all of my days. Once I tried to concentrate, but all I could think about was politics.' Shmuel said 'During prayer, I count the clouds.' Rabbi Bun Bar Hiyya said 'I count the stones in the wall when I should be praying.' Rabbi Matnaya said, 'I am grateful to my head, because it knows to bow automatically when we reach the modim prayer.'" (Yerushalmi, Berachot 16a) "A person is obligated to pray with proper intention and to recite all the blessings with intention, but there are very few people in this world who do so with all their hearts." (Orchot Tzadikim, Sha'ar Teshuvah, page 509 in the Feldheim edition) I like being Jewish so much that I took the ultimate step and became a rabbi. Little did I realize at the time that this would mean that I would be the only one in shul who wasn't supposed to daven. Sitting on the bimah, I held the ultimate responsibility for the smooth running of the services. This, of course, is also a form of Divine service, but still, it isn't prayer. I would try to steal moments of "kavanah" where I could, but always drawn back to earth by the uncertainty that something might go wrongthat Mr. Goldberg wouldn't get his aliyah, that the Bat Mitzvah might need some encouragement, that somebody would drop the Torah. How could I be so self indulgent as to seek transcendent union with the Infinite Source of All Life when my job was to be a captain of industry?
