Some clarification needed, simple terms perfered. LoL  

LoL, I wish it wasn't that bad, but you can ask anyone in my family... it is that bad. She is not all wish it I don't think. She asked my daughter if I was having her smoke pot and drink beer. Haha, well, considering I don't even do either of those things I don't see that it would make sense to force my 6 year old to do it! Yeah, and when my brother died her response was 'Well, that's just great.' So, hear that statement in your head in the most sarcastic voice you can imagine and that pretty much sums it up. It'd be nice if she changed, but I doubt it.

oh dear i am sorry she does sound hard work i guess all you can do is love her regardless and maybe she with warm up a little go bless you

FYI, Kabalah has nothing to do with Yoga.

Also, many Jews and Kabalists I know enjoy an occasional joint, and beer. Just so ya know. ;)

Haha, the reference to the joint and the drinks... is more about my crazy grandma accusing me of being a bad parent and getting me children all drunk and high for Thanksgiving dinner! Haha. What a weirdo.

LoL, thanks for the response. I see a little what you mean, there are some pieces missing still, I think... but it is still helpful. My grandma use to be Christian Science, for as long as I can remember she was. Then she ubruptly switched about a year or 2 ago. Kind of freaked us all out a bit. It's kind of the joke, because she is so mean to her family and yet she is all about 'world peace' to her Kabbala friends. I'm just trying to put forth the effort to understand a bit about all this, especially since my daughters are living with her and she is teaching them Kabbala stuff. I'd like to know what she is teaching them and if I should talk to my cas manager about this if it goes against my personal beliefs.

That's how I see it. Every human out there feels the need to be a better person... or else we wouldn't have such a thing as religion. So, for someone to deny their desire to grow and improve in life is kind of weird to me.

And just so the athiests and agnostics don't desend on me here... haha. Truely, even you have a 'religion' or something that you do that makes you feel you are improving on yourself or helping your innerself. You just don't always make it ritualistic.

I am spiritual but not religious as such because the selective dogma and rituals are really irrelevant.

Seriously, I don't get how someone can claim that they have 'the peace that passes understanding' and be heartless. I don't think peaceful people are so ignorant. Haha. My best friend's inlaws are catholic and they disowned her husband for refusing to force her to have an abortion. While they turn around and donate a ton of money to all these local pregnancy resource centers in the area. She get's a kick out of going to those places for help because they don't don't even acknowledge her children as their grandchildren.

So, it is sort of 'magickal' to use the word lightly? I think I get what you are saying. And, I've read some stuff that claims it's for people over 40. And stuff like that. It's clearing up in my head a little. But, it's still kind of hard for me to think that my grandma could really be into this whole-heartedly because she is not very kind. Oh well. Thanks, though.

Not sure what I'm talking about... because whatever it is, my geneticly related old person is obviously not that closly affiliated with it. Thank you for your response though!

That is rich! Yep, I think my mom asked her once what her beliefs were about people doing wrong things. And she said that we will always do bad stuff and we can't even hope to be good so we might as well not try. WHAT, I thought the whole point of religion is that we all recognize we aren't perfect and religion is supposed to be something we look to outside of ourselves for support! That could just be me, but I don't think that's what Kabalah actually teaches. I think that's just her 'mean spirit' making an apperance. Haha.
