The Kabala is a collection of esoteric writings of various rabbis and medieval Christians, consisting of mystical and numerological interpretations of Hebrew scriptures. The authors of the Kabala treat every letter, word, number and accent of Scripture as a secret code containing profound but hidden meaning put there by God for some profound and hidden purpose, including prophecy. The Kabala also provides methods of interpretation of the occult marks on paper that the less spiritually gifted take to be mere words to be understood either literally or figuratively. The purpose of the Kabala is apparently to read God's mind and thereby become one with the divine.
Karma is the universal law of harmony and balance known as cause and effect. The universal law of karma suggests that complete and perpetual justice controls the experiences of life for, as the western scripture tells us, "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Karma provides a rationale that explains life's inequities.
Kirlian Photography was discovered by a Russian named Semyon Kirlian in 1939. If an object is photographed with a special infrared style camera, an image is found that resembles a colored halo of coronal discharge surrounding the object. It is a physical manifestation of the spiritual aura or life force which surrounds every living thing.
