Is Kabbalah just Shankara's advaita-vedanta in Jewish form?
What are some good resources for goyim to learn about it?

Some anon post the other day a book called "The history of non-dualist meditation" by Javier Alvarado wich i'm reading right now. I just finished an interesting chapter about kabbalah meditations and as you say is an adaptation of neoplatonist and eastern meditations.
I realy reccomend that book and I thank that anon who posted it.

>This is not so simple. It sounds from this idea that non-Jews in their actions cause a yichudelyon and they bring a shefa which helps maintain the world, but this is not true. Goyim do not bring life to the world, only the Jewish people do. (Later we will explain why it is not true and how it all came about.)

>A person who turns all of holiness into jokes the leitzim make him into a joke in the next world as his punishment. The shaidim laugh at him. For the soul this is very painful, because the soul is all seichel and daas. There are non-Jewish jokes, goyishe shaidim, and then there are jokes that are a bechinah of kellipas nogah. A goy’s animal soul and joke is the shalosh kellipos hatmeios. A Jewish joke is kellipas nogah: it can be used and brought to the realm of holiness. The word yeitzerיצר is related etymologically to the word tziyurציור for the yetzerrepresents the pictures of fantasy. The yetzer hara fills the blood. The Hebrew word for blood is dam דם which is related tothe word דמיוןdimyon. The Torah when it prohibits eating blood says vlo yizbachu od eszivcheihem lasiirim asher heim zonim achareihim, And they should not offer sacrifices to the goats they stray after. (Vayikra 17:7) In other words if one offers a sacrifice outside the sanctuary he is adding strength to the seirim, to the shaidim, the dimyonos. People used to offer such sacrifices to strengthen the shaidim and to draw down spirits of false prophecy. Through strengthening the fantasies in their souls they would have a tumah form of prophecy.

>Now we can understand the lashon hapasuk, terminology of the verse: “Viatem tihyu li mamleches kohanim vi goy kadosh.” And you will be for Me a Kingdom of priest and a holy nation. First Hashem told us that we are the “Segula mikol haamim” “The treasure of all peoples.” We have all the good from all the nations and the pasuk explains itself ki li kol haaretz, for the whole world is Mine. All should have been loyal to Hashem, everyone should have been a Jew, yet they did not want this privilege and therefore Hashem sent them away to the seventy ministers and they are no longer connected to the real plan of the world, to the malchus shamayim, the Kingdom of Heaven.

I asked him, "I heard in the name of the Lubavitcher Rebbe that there are exceptions to the general rule, and that there are some goyim whose nefesh habahamis comes from Klipas Nogah, and that they are able to do pure chesed for the sake of others. Did I misunderstand what I heard?"

He answered that no, I did not misunderstand. But that this was a major topic in Kabbalah and that he wasn't capable, nor were we, without that background, capable of understanding the inyan properly right now. But as a rosh perek, headline, he said that the Lubavitcher Rebbe was speaking with regard to something found in the Kisvei Ari z"l, who brought down that there are indeed individuals from certain nations, who have a certain kind of relationship with Klal Yisroel, and Goyim who will become Gerim, who are outside the regular category of a goy, and therefore have a nefesh habahamis rooted in Klipas Nogah, like a Yisroel. He said that lu yitzuyar, it is as if they are not totally goyim (though they aren't Jewish either, obviously).

>Even righteous gentiles, while pos-sessing an element of good within their souls, do not possess a Divine soul.

>The Jewish people are superior to all nations of the earth. This is not only so with regard to the fools who are abominable in their ways through murder and other great abominations. Rather, their superi-ority is due to their sanctity... which is superior even with regard to those who are the wisest and most saintly among the nations.

>The difference between the Jewish soul, its self, its inner desires, its overflow, its character, its standing, and that of all the nations, at all their levels, is greater and deeper than the difference between the human soul and the soul of an animal.

>The highest state of love of creatures should be allotted to the love of mankind, and it must extend to all of mankind, despite all varia-tions of religions, opinions, and faiths, and despite all distinctions of race and climate. It is right to get to the bottom of the views of dif-ferent peoples and groups, to learn, as much as possible, their char-acters and qualities, in order to know how to base love of humanity on foundations that approach action. For only upon a soul rich in love for creatures and love of man can the love of the nation raise itself up in its full nobility and spiritual and natural greatness. The narrowness that causes one to see whatever is outside the border of the special nation, even outside the border of Israel, as ugly and de-filed, is a terrible darkness that brings general destruction upon all building of spiritual good, for the light of which every refined soul hopes.

The Zohar, the primary source of Jewish mystical thought,5 firmly estab-lishes the perspective distinguishing between the souls of Jews and non-Jews, describing the Jewish people at the outset of creation as “The chil-dren of the Holy One, blessed be He, whose souls are [therefore] holy.” This is in contrast to the souls of the nations, “which emanate from... impure sources and render impure anything that approaches them.”6The people of Israel, the Zohar states, possess a living, holy, and elevated soul(“nefesh ḥayah kadisha ila’ah”),as opposed to the other nations, who are described asakin to animals and crawling creatures, which lack this “Di-vine” soul and possess only an “animal” soul.7 Additional comments in the Zohar Ha-Ḥadash establish that those who fulfill the Torah—the Jew-ish people—will live forever with God, while those who do not—the non-Jewish nations—will decay with the animals.

R. Yoḥanan ben Zakkai said to his students: “My children, what is the meaning of the verse (Prov. 14:34): ‘Charity elevates a nation and the loving kindness of the nations is a sin (ḥatat)?’” R. Eliezer an-swered: “’Charity elevates a nation’—this is Israel, as the verse states (Sam. II 7:23): ‘And who is like Your nation Israel, a unique nation on earth.’ ‘And the loving kindness of the nations is a sin’—all of the charity and loving kindness that the nations perform is a sin for them, for they do so only to aggrandize themselves...” [The Talmud now questions the implication of these statements]: And if a person does [give charity with the intent of fulfilling his own needs rather than purely for the sake of Heaven], is it not completely acceptable as charity? But it is taught in a b’raita: “One who says, ‘This coin [will go] to charity so that my children will live or so that I will merit the World to Come,’ this is considered a perfectly righteous person (tzaddik gamur)!”33 [The gemara answers]: This is not difficult. Here [the b’raita describing the act as acceptable], it is speaking of a Jew;

When the nations give charity, those nations will be elevated... and when they do acts of loving kindness, not only will they be elevated, but it will also be sinful for the Jewish People, for their merit will thereby be lacking. And the Holy One, blessed be He, must pay their reward in this world... and the reward of a mitzvah is great.

To understand this we need to consider the difference between the pure and impure animals.

I have heard from those who relate the truth that they heard from the Honorable Holy Rabbi, the Maggid, Yechiel Mechel of Zlotchov ZTzvK’L[15]. He related to them that when he came the first time to the Baal Shem Tov ZTzLH’H[16], he (the Baal Shem Tov) commanded that they give him honor. And he (the Baal Shem Tov) said they should know that this man (Rebbe Yechiel Mechel) is the son of the Holy Rabbi Yitzchok of Drovitch. “I tell you that the father of this man was given from Heaven the smallest of souls, such that there was almost no soul in that generation which was as insignificant as that one. But he raised it up to the level of the Tanna Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai.” Until here I have heard.

We have already mentioned the words of the Ra’avad with regards to an animal slaughtered by a Gentile: "for the Gentiles are like animals…and one who thinks of them as something [worthwhile] will gather the wind in his fist."

>I would like to examine the import of these three terms: *S’gulah* (treasure), *Mamlekhet Kohanim* (kingdom of priests) and *Goy Kadosh* (holy nation), with an eye to understanding why the first and last of these have a decidedly different fate from their neighbor. Both *’Am S’gulah* and *Goy Kadosh*, in various formulations, continue to appear in later books of the Torah as descriptive, exhortative or quasi-eschatological terms for the B’nei Yisra’el. , *Mamlekhet Kohanim*, on the other hand, disappears without a trace from the Toraic ideal.

>The eight-or-so year old son of one family, for example, in grasping for a derogatory persona with which to populate a story he was telling me, searched about with the words, “The place was full of... full of...” and then triumphantly hit upon, “goyim!”.

Another, older person—a teenager who had been spending some time overseas—referred to the “smelly goyim” who had been trying with their cars to “run us over as we were crossing the road”

So we see that the Jews, because of their special spiritual level, are considered to be a genus different from all the other people.

However, the principal form of man does not appear in the nations.

In "Netzach Yisrael" chapter 14 (page 83) it is written: "…Israel is special and separate from all the Gentiles, for the Gentiles are on a materialistic level, whereas Israel is on the ’form’ level…as Chazal said: ’You are called men and the nations are not called men,’ as though it were an ordinary thing for them, that the comparison between Israel and the Gentiles is similar to the comparison between man and animals who cannot speak, and this is because man is distinct from animals in that he is not materialistic and physical like the rest of the animal world; man is intelligent. This is the level of Israel, for they are distinguished from the material and are not immersed in it. Likewise with regards to Israel, the material is nullified compared to the soul; the material aspect is merely a transporter with the soul riding upon it, and the material is nullified, just like an ass is nullified and secondary with regards to one who rides on it. So is the matter with Israel, when they fulfill the will of G-d they alone are considered a transcendent form. However, in regards to the nations it is the exact opposite, as though their soul is nullified compared to the body, and as though they are only body and material."

>One of the deepest concepts of G-d’s providence involves Israel and the other nations. With regards to their basic human characteristics, the two appear exactly alike. From the Torah’s viewpoint, however, the two are completely different, and are treated as ones belonging to completely different genera…

>In the World to Come, however, there will be no nation other than Israel. The souls of righteous Gentiles will be allowed to exist in the Future World, but only as an addition and attachment to Israel. They will therefore be secondary to the Jews, just as a garment is secondary to the one who wears it. All that they attain of the ultimate good will have to be attained in this manner, since by virtue of their nature they can receive no more.


Jews, therefore, are the "true humanity," whereas the Gentiles are only "on a low level of humanity"; Jews "are true humanity from its authentic roots," whereas the other nations are "all on the level of Man in his fallen state" -- and therefore "are treated as ones belonging to completely different genera."

Therefore, even if one converted to idolatry he is still considered a Jew with regards to the laws of marriage and divorce…

On the difference between souls of the Jews and Gentiles it is written in the book "Etz Chaim" (Heichal Abi’a, Sha’ar HaKlipot, chapter 2):

So we find that Israel possesses the three levels of soul (nefesh, ruach, neshama) from holiness… The Gentiles, however, possess only the level of nefesh from the feminine side of the klipot…for the souls of the nations, which come from the klipot, are called ’evil’ and not ’good,’ are created without the da’at [knowledge], and therefore they also lack the ruach and neshama." (And in the continuation there: "This is also the secret of what Chazal said: ’It is forbidden to have mercy on one who lacks da’at,’’ for one who lacks da’at comes from the klipot lacking da’at, and therefore one who has mercy on him causes the spreading of the supreme mercy to the klipot as well…" According to this it is possible to understand the Gemara which I mentioned above regarding the lost item of a Gentile (Sanhedrin 76b): "…one who returns a lost item to a Gentile, of him the verse says: ’To add drunkenness to thirst; the Lord will not spare him’.

Supposing that non-Jews indeed do not have a neshamah-soul—but wouldn’t you wantthem to have one, as fellow human beings? Is this something that a Jew should take a particularly insidious joy and relish in?” At one point in the conversation, the view was expressed that since goyimdo not have a neshamah, all that they are interested in are the basic biological functions of eating, sleeping, sexual intercourse, and so forth.

I further asked him whether from every Gentile righteous people are destined to emanate. If only there were one righteous Gentile from a city and two from a family!…yet ’his blood shall be shed’ is part of a general verdict…He answered that a Gentile who murders is put to death only if there are witnesses, as the Targum Onkelos there translated the word b’sahadia [according to the witnesses], and if there aren’t witnesses, he is exempt. Therefore G-d, Who knows the future, arranges that there would be no witnesses to the killing of a Gentile who does not have the potential of producing a righteous person from his lineage…

>The explanation of this matter is according to what the Rabbi Chaim Vital OBM wrote…that every Jew, whether he is righteous or wicked, has two souls, as it says, ’And the souls I have made’ -- that is, two souls: one soul from the side of the klipa and Satan’s camp… also naturally good character traits that are found in every Jew, such as mercifulness and charitable deeds, stem from it, for in the Jew, the soul of this klipa comes from klipat noga which also contains good…But it is not the case concerning Gentile souls, for they stem from other impure klipot which contain no good…and the second soul of the Jew is surely part of G-d on high…

>When a person who has such a gilgul is finally able to undergo Orthodox conversion back to Judaism, does this mean that he has rectified whatever he did that brought about this gilgul of his Jewish soul into a gentile body?"

Maybe, but not necessarily. Or, better: at least partially, but not necessarily completely.

The klipot are divided into two levels…the lower level consists of three impure and completely evil klipot which contain no good whatsoever…from there the souls of the Gentiles are influenced and drawn, as are the bodies and the souls of all impure animals which are forbidden to eat…However, the vital animalistic soul in the Jews, which stems from the klipa…and the souls of pure animals, beasts, birds, and fish which are permitted to eat…are influenced and drawn from the second level of the klipot…which is called klipat noga…and the majority of it is evil, combined with a slight amount of good…

His body is only a dress of the "man," etc.’ -- this means that although one may find that the bodily features of the Gentiles and the Jews are the same, the meaning of the word ’man’ is not the body. For were it so, their saying "’You are called man’ would not be just. But rather the body is only a dress of what is within him -- namely the spirit, and the body is only a dress for the spirit, that is the ’flesh of man’: ’man’ -- the spirit, ’flesh of man’ -- the garment of man. And for this reason the Jews, who are holy, are called ’men.’ ’The lower aspects, which were blended, etc.’, they are holy and not impure, but not at the level of man; however they are blended from the holy spirit, which expands increasingly, and reaches the final levels of holiness…"

So I'm gathering that I cannot glean a divine truth from reading the Zohar with my goyish nefesh?
Literature for converting to Judaism?
Also, can converts marry Jewish girls or are they treated as something in-between goy and Jewish?
