I’m John from Texas. I’m new to the study of Kabbalah. I’ve studied, from a Biblical perspective, most of my 76 years but have been confounded by trying to understand concepts like spirit and soul. While recently searching to understand the various viewpoints expressed on the internet I found this site. I’ve had a distant awareness of Kabbalah, but decided now was the time to learn more.
