[QUOTE="Queen_Dopplepopolis, post: 2044662, member: 14323"] I am by no means an expert or anything resembling an learned individual so far as Kabbalah goes... what follows is simply what I have learned in my Jewish Studies courses - if there's something wrong with it, I blame my teacher. ;) So - Lurianic Kabbalah is based on the belief that the world exists in spheres, and that each sphere represents a certain quality of G-d. When G-d created the world, the spheres had to contract ao allow room for that creation. Many of G-d's rays shattered, becoming the source of Evil**. Man's job, therefore, is to - through prayer and devotion - put those pieces back together (I believe the phrase for this is Tiggum Olam, but I could be mis-remembering). This prayer and devotion will eventually restore goodness to the world and bring the Messiah to take the Jews back to Zion. I would like to put a spin on the theory and say that the shards are *physical* things that must be retrived in order to bring the Messiah... so, essentially, the basic D&D game... there are X amount of powerful artifacts missing: go find them. I think it could be a lot of fun... and I would get to use all sorts of fun biblical stuff... **When I initially attempted to type Evil, I typed Email... "Many of G-d's rays shattered, becoming the source of Email." THERE'S a profound statement. ;) [/QUOTE]
