Malakh - Kabbalah

Kabbalah

Jewish mysticism or Kabbalah describes the angels at length. Historically, Rabbis have forbidden the teachings of Kabbalah on the angels and the worlds until one is 40 years old, married and well-versed in fundamental concepts of Judaism and the Hebrew Bible. The Rabbinic warning is against learning it otherwise because it may lead to insanity or false beliefs about the world. Angels are described in Kabbalah literature as forces that send information, feelings, between mankind and the God of Israel. They are analogized to atoms, wavelengths or channels that help God in his creation, and it is therefore, reasoned that they should not be worshipped, prayed to, nor invoked. They are not physical in nature but spiritual beings, like spiritual atoms. Therefore, the Kabbalah reasons, when they appear in the Hebrew Bible their description is from the viewpoint of the person that received the vision or prophesy or occurrence, which will be anthropomorphic. However, they are not material beings but are likened to a single emotion, feeling, or material, controlled by God for his purpose of creation.
