Hi Zappy,

I must say I'm enjoying your articles, skeptical at first but good stuff. Given what's going on in the middle east can you share a Kabalistic meditation or formulae or something of this sort that can be practised to bring peaceful resolution.

Thanks, I feel this is an urgent matter and would appreciate a response.

intentblog should not be used as a tool for religious propoganda. It is distasteful.

Einstein the kabalalist said, “Let’s split the tiniest thing imaginable, and create the largest explosion beyond the power of human comprehension.

Interesting, didn't know Kaballah was to blame for the sufferings of thousands of Japanese for ages to come.

Yeah! Right on! The Kaballah has worked wonders for world peace so far. Who are its greatest exponents? Jewish fundamentalists.

This article is the biggest load of tosh I have read on this site. Einstein created a formula and theory about energy and how a small amount of energy could generate a much larger amount of the same. E=mc2 He had not originally realised there could be a chain reaction which could be used for the making of a bomb. The atom bomb was his single greatest regret, not because he was involved in the making of it, he was not, but because his work led to the development of it.

It is true that in a moment of weakness and pressed by other scientists of the time he wrote to Roosevelt urging him to proceed with the A bomb, but only because of the fear that Germany would develop it first. He did not imagine, once the war was won that the bomb would be used. Although Japan had not yet surrendered, the war was all but lost already and everyone in power knew it. Germany had been defeated months earlier. The USA used the bomb anyway, using the Japanese as experimental guinea pigs and to show off to the rest of the world.

Your words “Let’s split the tiniest thing imaginable, and create the largest explosion beyond the power of human comprehension.” which you have put in quotation marks and attributed to Einstein were NEVER uttered by the man and your attempt to make that dishonest and agenda ridden connection here is utterly fraudulent and a disgrace. Who gave you the f_cking licence to post on this site. Do Deepak and his family endorse your bullshit?

Stop making up drivel to confirm your own ignorance.

I do wish Intentblog were a little more discerning about who they give a voice to here. I will complain.

Perhaps when a writer uses a quote he should include the "source " so readers can further explore the material.

Love to all

just took a look at history of nuclear weapons on web.

In 1939, Albert Einstein, Leo Szilard and Eugene Wigner wrote Roosevelt a letter that warned him "about the developments that had been taking place in nuclear physics...that scientists in Germany were working on the possibility of using uranium to produce nuclear weapons..." -- But although he was against a bomb and was a pacifist, Einstein, along with Slizard and Wigner, proposed in that same letter that the US develop the bomb first, to beat Germany in the race.

Einstein's special theory of relativity, which is key to the development of nuclear weapons, says that a great quantity of energy can be produced from a small quantity of matter. But the special theory of relativity was like imagining crossing an ocean 800 years ago. After the imagining had to come the planning, the fundraising, the experimentation, the additional theories, and then the logistical work and the actual effort to make it happen. Einstein wrote the special theory of relativity in 1905, about 35 years before nuclear weapons were developed.

According to Nova's website:

"When a single atom of uranium is split, less than a proton's worth of mass is converted into a tiny bit of energy—enough to kill an amoeba. Two hundred million electron volts couldn't even boil a thimbleful of water but would likely kill an amoeba. Splitting a single atom of uranium yields a tiny amount of energy. When we speak of the awesome "power of the atom," we are generally referring to chain reactions involving as many as one septillion atoms—that's 1 followed by 24 zeros!"

Thus, it's the chain reaction that makes nuclear weapons possible, and Einstein did not even see the possibility of chain reactions, according to Slizard.

Here are the scientists more directly involved with nuclear weapons devleopment:

1. Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner, Fritz Strassman and Otto Frisch did the experiments and /or the development of the theory of nuclear fission, which is used for nuclear weapons -- not Einstein.

2. Enrico Fermi and Emilio Segre did the initial work that led to use of nuclear reactors to make enriched fuel for bombs -- not Einstein.

3. The Manhattan Project, that made the first nuclear weapons in th US, had many participating scientists -- but not Einstein.

A little before he died, Eistein said he'd made a mistake recommending that the US build a nuclear weapon. He said there was only one justification for it -- that if the US had not built it when they did, Germany would have finished building it, and would have caused much more harm.

(Just saw taomaster's #4, to the same effect, written while i researched this -- so the above can be taken as details to support taomaster's comments.)

Well when the Master of the Tao protesteth too much, then I know the blogger is on to sometime.

Thanks for the alert Master Tao

Oh boy.....never thought I'd be in agreement with Heather and Taomaster on anything, but here goes!!

First of all, I wish there were no atomic bombs. Second of all, since there are, I'm glad we got there first. Thirdly, using them in WWII, has probably saved lives in the long run, it showed their awful destructive capability.

my agreeing with Heather and TM stems from their questioning of Zappy's credibility. Seems he suffers from Deepak's syndrome!! When Deepak is posting about political matters, he never lets' the facts get in the way of a point that fits his agenda!! Maybe when they were consorting on the book, Zappy became infected!!

norm

I have to say that I agree with the others, your facts about Einstein are distorted. There is always the urge to try to link events/facts to support what we believe in but you loose credibility when those links are proven not to be 'quite' true. It's better to do research before making claims.

using them in WWII, has probably saved lives in the long run --norm

Probably??

Glad you used this word, norm.

Hi all,
Quoting the author:"People like Mother Theresa and Gandhi understood what it meant to use their innate dispositions to change the world, and artists like Beethoven, who composed whole symphonies as a child, used his inexplicable genius to bring music to thousands of people for generations." Unquote

The blog is titled "Using Kabala to help humanity" and then three names are given as a sub-heading in bold:

Einstein, Mother Theresa, Gandhi

And then comes the para which I've quoted above, which includes Beethoven in this list. Clearly, the author is trying to connect the names of these four, very famous people (all dead) with the Kabballah. I apologize for my ignorance, but could somebody please confirm to me if all these great people were practising Kabballists?

If they were not, then does the author have their permission to link their names to the Kabballah?

I am still waiting to see the *actual secrets* of Kabballah which can give name, fame, wealth and success to individuals who embrace this faith (science?)

Congrats to Heather for digging out some relevant facts about Einstein.

Cheers!

Papa, why a scientist like Einstein is not an outright materialists but a believer in some kind of mysticism? Is it his Jewish upbringing? Why do many Nobel laureates in the field of science believe in some kind of spirituality? Why do they practice some kind of religion, or philosophy and almost all of them are not self proclaimed atheists? Does science give the insight of spirituality? Why do the wise say, where science ends philosophy begins, where philosophy ends spirituality begins?

Eagerly awaiting your laser insight,

Sonny.

to navin in post 11,
Madonna? Demi Moore? and now Lindsay Lohan?

Quotes on Einstein's religious views:

* My first religious training of any kind was in the Catholic catechism.

and:

* I came - though the child of entirely irreligious (Jewish) parents - to a deep religiousness, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of twelve."

* I do not think that it is necessarily the case that science and religion are natural opposites. In fact, I think that there is a very close connection between the two. Further, I think that science without religion is lame and, conversely, that religion without science is blind. Both are important and should work hand-in-hand.

* A Jew who sheds his faith along the way, or who even picks up a different one, is still a Jew.[26]

As an adult, he called his religion a "cosmic religious sense".

In The World As I See It he wrote:

* You will hardly find one among the profounder sort of scientific minds without a peculiar religious feeling of his own. But it is different from the religion of the naive man.

* For the latter God is a being from whose care one hopes to benefit and whose punishment one fears; a sublimation of a feeling similar to that of a child for its father, a being to whom one stands to some extent in a personal relation, however deeply it may be tinged with awe.

* But the scientist is possessed by the sense of universal causation. The future, to him, is every whit as necessary and determined as the past. There is nothing divine about morality, it is a purely human affair. His religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.

In response to the telegrammed question of New York's Rabbi Herbert S. Goldstein in 1929: "Do you believe in God? Stop. Answer paid 50 words." Einstein replied "I believe in Spinoza's God, Who reveals Himself in the lawful harmony of the world, not in a God Who concerns Himself with the fate and the doings of mankind." Note that Einstein replied in only 25 (German) words. Spinoza was a pantheist.

Dear Jen,
All the women you've named, I would love to date! ;)

But seriously(not that I was joking earlier), if these women were to tell me some *real* secrets pertaining to Kabballah, I'll listen. I've got an open mind. But this current blog is totally off target, if the aim of the author was to get the readers interested in Kabballah.

Cheers!
Navin

wishing to be nuisance,
this bastard of a son
asks papa may questions.

he's going to see soon,
with his monkey faced friend,
his revered guru in a satsung.

he loves him more than his step-father
and is running to his ass for answers.

dear, bastard of a stupid son, ask
your guru kissing his ass all questions.
to your papa you are no more fun.

dear Sonny

in a very broad generic sense, all science has to do with pattern recognition and manipulation. it's difficult to work with ever-shifting, yet always similar patterns, day after day for years, without developing a sense that such patterns symbolise, and may even represent or express, an intelligence in the universe.

in addition, there's humanity's religious/spiritual instinct, which seems to be inborn.

try Chaos Theory: Making a New Science by James Glieck, for more insight into this issue.

"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods." — Albert Einstein

Dear Heather,

Maam, I thank you for your insight. Chaos theory, order out of chaos and entropy are interesting subjects. Thank you for your recommendation of the book. I will read it on a weekend in a bookstore.

Kind Regards,
Truly,
Sonny

Papa, I get what you are saying with your poetry; the kind of unraveling the kabala kind of secrets with your kind answer. There are many secrets in what you say. That for me is your laser insight.

Thank you for the prompt reply and the sarcastic poetry.

Kind Regards,
Always yours,

Sonny

Also, Jen.....

Madonna, Demi Moore, Lindsay Lohan were already famous & already rich much before they got interested in the Kabballah......if you were trying to point out that these are some celebs who take interest in Kabballah.

Cheers!
Navin

dear pops -- you're very welcome. but try buying it in a bookstore this weekend, rather than reading it in one, as you might not have time to finish the book due to the lack of comfort and privacy while reading.

kind regards, heather

poor dumb joe(DJ)
it's now "crystal clear"
masala is now work-
ing up in your rear.

you're running amok
like a crazy slut,
a certified absoulte nut.

calm down, little sissy boy,
you pink panties are bery bet.
say sorry or you'll regret.

these posts are interesting and thought-provoking. they would be even better if you could write more about practical things we can do in our lives to apply the principles.

for instance, i completely agree with what you are saying about harnassing the energy of the universe for your own benefit and the greater benefit of humanity and finding your true potential. you i agree that you have to "learn the rules of the game of life" if you want to be successful.

SO, i guess the big question is, what are some of these rules and how do we follow them? how does one go about being successful in this chaotic universe? it's easy to talk in theory (theory is good), but what are specific rules and how do we apply them? without this instruction, all the theories in the world don't have an impact on anyone...

There was a time when these secrets were handed down, Master to Apprentice. And they were very much secrets. It was thought by the Masters that men were not ready for this knowledge and that, in the wrong hands it would be very dangerous. The Master would have many apprentices, but very few would attain. The knowledge was not passed on, taught or annunciated. It was attained, through a flowering. It unfolded, and the Master taught without speaking, guided without leading. It takes a special type of apprentice. A special kind of courage. A special kind of person to be trusted with the Work.

But then things began to change. First the Jews escaped with much of the knowledge from Egypt which Moses had come to know of because of his privileged upbringing. But when Moses entrusted the secrets to the elders he did not predict that they would use it for their personal enrichment and "success". For these intellectuals did not have the wisdom to fully understand it and the deeper implications of invoking the Gods.

Later came the secrets that Jesus had unveiled. These were exported to Europe to be guarded. But again the guardians of the knowledge, who did not understand much of it, set up secret self serving brotherhoods to protect the secrets and to use them for their own personal enrichment and success. They did not know what they were doing.

Then came the exodus from Tibet with the Chinese driving the Tibetans out of their world into ours. With the release of Tibetan Buddhists came a naive popular understanding of the secrets. These were commercialized by young merchants, entrepreneurs and some very genuine seekers who knew not the implication of spreading this wisdom indiscriminately with the dominating agenda of self aggrandizement.

Without the Master the Apprentice thinks he is King. Without the Master the Ego runs amok.

So it has been with Deepak. For a while there he really had something. For a while he made contact with the field and it downloaded. But he didn't get it in the long run, I don’t think. Some are richer, but look at the world. It is all a symptom of the same abuse of power. Disguised, misunderstood, abused. Pandora’s box has been opened.

One who has had a Mystical experience born out of that special bravery would know, and would never dare to invoke the Gods for his own benefit, because Karma is unpredictable and because he would be playing dice with the very foundations of reality. It looks like Zappy is another conman, playing dice with things he doesn’t understand. Playing fast and loose with the wisdom of the gods.

But it is easy to stray from the path. The attractions are so dazzling. The pleasures are so enticing. Celebrity is King and money brings a false security.

Einstein understood as much, for he understood that his purpose was simply to serve his fellow man and in doing so he would be serving God. For I AM GOD and so are you.

In serving yourselves you only create suffering.

Namaste’

Dear Magenta:

I happened upon an interesting site, which may help. God- A Jewish renewal( Kabbulistic-Mystical-Neohasidic approach to God by Rabbi Michael Lerner at Tikkun

Love to all

movie on pbs what the bleep do we know and there is also a whatthebleep dot com. Check it out, well all those that don't mind mixing science and religion, probably not for the traditional that need to keep 'em separated...

This whole article about kaballah is a sham. As navin has pointed out leaders like Gandhi Ji and Mother teresa had nothing to with kaballah and neither were they any kind of spritual leaders. I am not sure what this Zappy guy is trying to zap in here, but his efforts are pathetic. Not that people have anything against kaballah, but this is pure C grade propaganda.
