Abstract
Mysticism commonly found in every religion, includes esoteric aspects of religious teachings. Kabbalah is a discipline and school of thought discussing the mystical aspect of Judaism. Some have thought Kabalah to include all mystical tradition of Judaism; while some other have known it as a middle stage arising after the prior stage, Merkabah, and before the posterior one, Hasidism. This mystical school of thought surely has influenced on and has been affected by both Christian and Islamic mysticism during its flourishing. It should be deeply noticed that nearly all mystical thoughts have been inverted in some aspects whereof serious damages occurred. Such has been the case of this school of thought. The domain of the damages has been extended to such a limits that all nations have damaged by it and it is the very fact for reconsidering it.
