"Blessed and exalted is God, glorious in power. He is one, united
in all His powers as the flame is united in its colors. The powers
which emanate from his unicity are like the light of the eye which
springs forth from the pupil." Sefer ha-lyyun Early Kabbalah, The
edited and introduced by Joseph Dan texts translated by Ronald C.
Kiener preface by Moshe Idel In the late twelfth century, at the
height of the Middle Ages that saw the flowering of the mystical
element in Christendom, the Rabbinic Judaism of southern Europe was
transformed by the eruption of new, Gnostic attitudes and
symbolism. This new movement, known as Kabbalah (literally the
'Tradition'), was characterized by the symbol of the ten sefirot.
By means of the sefirotic imagery, virtually the whole of everyday
life was linked to the cosmic dimension in a novel and highly
original fashion that stressed the dynamic, evolutionary element of
the Godhead and the synergistic relationship between the human will
and the action of God on earth. During a century of creativity, a
detailed system of symbols and concepts was created by the author
of the Sefer ha-Bahir, the Kabbalists of Provence, the Iyyun
circle, and the mystics of Provence and Castile that set the stage
for the great Kabbalists of the Zohar generation.
