Perhaps it's just a collection of funny memes and the original bible was just a big book of really good inside jokes, like a paper tvtropes.

What's the general opinion of mysticism in religion around here? Be it in the Catholic church, Kabbalah, or any other religion.

It's interesting. Too bad most western mysticism was burned at the stake, leaving us with the eastern stuff.

Yoga is part of mysticism? Wikipedia has failed!

No but seriously I myself am, to an extent, a believer in Kabbalism.

Well, tell us about it. What is this belief system of yours about?

Kabbalah has all sorts of interesting stuff.  I've found astrology, recomendations on sexual positions and extremely cruel homeopathic "cures" for cancer.

Well my style of Kabbalism is the idea that the Bible was written with the idea that every letter was precisely chosen and that there are indeed hidden meanings behind the letters.

For instance the letter Vav is and has been written as a Broken Vav in Sefer Torahs  when used in the word "Shalom" and Kabbalists are trying to find why this thing has started. And I for one am wondering why this started.

This idea is fairly common in Judaism but I took it the New Testament.

This thing is fairly new to me so I'm gonna be reading up on it. Over time because a Talmud set is expensive.

Bibles usually aren't that expensive, and I though the Talmund was just some books from the Old Testament and a few others.

It's a record and  of the Jewish people and an interpretation of the laws of Judaism. Of course they're gonna be expensive.

A good one will be like a thousand bucks. A lot more expensive than the Tanakh.

Have a course or two, if you want to know why a word has been used in the Bible/Torah and whatnot.

Unless learning that the Genesis is nearly a carbon copy of Enűma Eliš doesn't fit your mystical perception of the thing.
