Kabbalah Bracelet
Are you allowed to wear your Kabbalah bracelet in the mosque?
If you want to feel the warmth of being in the house of God (the mosque), you should free yourself from all religious innovations. Islam is total submission to God. To achieve this you need to follow the pure teachings of Islam clearly stated in the only divine book available today without any human alterations (the Quran).
MAY THE LORD ENLIGHTEN US AND GUIDE US TO ALL THAT IS BEST . . .

Bracelet Kabbalah
Michael Jackson Bracelet?
Does anyone know where I can get something similar to his Kabbalah bracelet? I noticed its not just a red string.. It has some sort of beads on it.. (?)
I don't think you're supposed to wear them as a fashion statement. If you do people will probably assume that you're a devotee of Kabbalah.

Kabbalah Hand
Selfish or Unselfish--Which is the best basic orientation in life?
Please don't say "a balance." That really doesn't help me figure this out. The Christian religion says clearly that the the best way to live is to be unselfish. Kabbalah says the same thing. On the other hand, many modern psychologists say that the best approach to life is to "look out for Number 1," i.e., for everyone to put themselves first and to focus on meeting one's own needs, seeking one's own goals, and protecting one's own turf. The writer Ayn Rand is famous for promoting a philosophy of self-centeredness that she called "Objectivism." Also, the economic system called Capitalism is based on the premise that everyone should compete in the marketplace for their own selfish desires. By contrast, the economic system called Communism or Socialism is based on the idea that citizens should not be selfish, and naturally don't want to be selfish. So, what's the answer? What should one's primary orientation in life be? Selfish, or Unselfish?
I would like to expand on what Kabbalah says about it, as I have been studying this method for several years now.
Although the main motto of Kabbalah is similar to other teachings: "Love your neighbor as yourself", Kabbalah also acknowledges that our basic inherent human nature is selfish egoism.
We simply cannot cancel, or suppress our own nature, but what we can do is to learn how to use it properly, how to continue to receive but with the intention of giving to others.
Since it is an obvious paradox, seemingly a complete contradiction - how to use our selfishness, our reception for giving to others - that is why we need Kabbalah, which is a practical method, a step by step ladder to teach us how to do all this. The word "kabbalah" means reception, as this method teaches us how to receive properly.
Only at the end of the ladder do we understand it fully, how to use our selfish reception for the unselfish giving to others.
I hope this and the links below can help, all the best.
