Kabbalah: Golem

(left) Instructions in Hebrew on how to create a golem from Rabbi Eleazar of Wormes (Worms).

"Golem" is the Hebrew word for an unformed mass or body.

When you "roll" (GL) the body into a form, and utter phrases over its body, you can bring the golem to life.

The methods handed down over the centuries are usually the same- form a body for the golem; create a mantra to utter over it; transfer your soul or some named soul into the golem through your breath; and often, put a parchment with some sacred writings inside its mouth or write on its forehead.

The golem is suppose to move on its own- an independent automaton. Today's version of the cyborg.

Techniques to create a golem

There are many variations on how this way actually done. But all agree- it can be done.

In Jewish mysticism, the "Sefer Yetzirah" (Book of Creation or Book of Formation) holds the key to the actual instructions to form the mantra or spell that induces the transfer. The Book of Creation was originally written in Hebrew, then translated into Latin, Yiddish and other languages, including many versions in English.

The English versions are often based on Latin translations which were not very clear in understanding Jewish mysticism. Christian Kabbalah is often slanted toward religious philosophies not found in Judaism. hence, many misunderstandings and distortions in translations occured- and persist to this day.

The Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism is intertwined in the creation of a golem. Reciting the combination of the Hebrew letters with each other, then the letters with the vowels produces a substantial change in consciousness- the golem emerges.

The golem is real. It has been documented in science that the inanimate can animate under the right conditions. Electricity brings our world to life by self-powering almost everything we use- TVs, ACs, lights computers, refrigerators, even robots. Portable batteries carry small amounts of energy without the need for cables or wires. We accept this transfer of energy as commonplace and expect it to assist in our lifestyle.

Robots are golems. Their life force is induced by electricity to conduct specifically programmed activities- build cars, bottle and package foods and other items. In the next few years, you will be able to buy portable robots that will vacuum your carpet by itself. Those robots will be available for sale through here soon!
