ANGELS, DEMONS AND ALL THE HOSTS OF HEAVEN AND EARTH M. M. NINAN _____________________________________________________________________________ It only shows that the concept of beings in other dimensions were common in all cultures. It was in fact a direct experience of people and it was evident in the personal magical and miraculous events that regularly happened in every day life. "Angels transcend every religion, every philosophy, every creed. In fact angels have no religion as we know it ... their existence precedes every religious system that has ever existed on earth." St. Thomas Aquinas 17
ANGELS, DEMONS AND ALL THE HOSTS OF HEAVEN AND EARTH M. M. NINAN _____________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER TWO JUDEO-CHRISTIAN COSMOS This understanding of the reality of beings that are not always physical and having powers beyond human abilities were a daily experience of people every where. It is exactly this that we come across in the Biblical narrative where they are mentioned as a matter of fact without making excuses or explanation. These explanations came in the oral commentaries. Kaballah Jewish oral tradition, the explanatory commentaries of the Mosaic revelation speaks of Four worlds. These revelations came to be known as Kaballah which literally means “received”. It is a set of esoteric teachings which tries to explain the relationship between undefinable God and the finite universe, His creation. According to Kabbalistic tradition, knowledge was transmitted orally by the Patriarchs, prophets, and sages (Hakhamim), eventually to be "interwoven" into Jewish religious writings and culture. According to this tradition, Kabbalah was, in around the 10th century B.C., an open knowledge practiced by over a million people in ancient Israel. The documenting of this tradition can be found as early as 1st-2nd centuries CE (such as the Heichalot texts and the earliest existent book on Jewish esotericism Sefer Yetzirah). Later they were codified during the 12th-13th century CE (of which the main book is the Zohar); and mystical revivals writings of the 16th century Safed (especially of Isaac Luria). The teachings were popularised under the Hasidic denomination within Judaism of Eastern Europe in the 18th century. While dealing with the Kaballah tradition we should remember that they are given in high symbolism to render the underlying concepts clear. After all communication is possible only through symbolic medium. 18
