Kabbalah
Kabbalah is perhaps the oldest of the spiritual wisdom paths of the world. Originating with Adam, the inner teachings have been passed on and ultimately published cryptically in the work known as the Zohar. These teachings have been interpreted and practicalised for training programs primarliy through the medium of Chabad teachings.
Rabbis Laibl and Menachem Wolf are leading exponents of these pathways, and teach it in its authentic state without 'new agey' embellishments or 'instant gratification' add-ons that some groups offer.
