Karbala

Karbala is a city in Iraq. It was also the place of an important battle in Islamic history between Imam Hussain (the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad) and Yazid. Hussain had only 72 companions with him versus Yazid's thousands of trained warriors. In the aftermath, Hussain's army was slaughtered. Imam Hussain's sacrifice for justice and truth is looked upon and adored by many around the world. The event is held in high esteem among the Shia and is commemorated every year during Ashura.

Kabalarian 

The Kabalarian philosophy is a religious 'cult' based on the teachings of Alfred J. Parker. They base a large part of the teachings around Name Analysis. Despite the use of the word 'Kabala' in the word, Kabalarian Philosophy is not related to the teachings or practitioners of Kabala.

A Kabalarian philosophy teaches that you might be happier with a different first name that matches your last name better.

Kabalarian Philosophy 

The Canadian Encyclopedia has called the Kabalarian Philosophy the world's smallest religion. Founded in the 1930s by Alfred J. Parker, this philosophical religion teaches the Mathematical Principle relating mathematics, language, name, mind, and Consciousness.

The Philosophy teaches that the name, being composed of mathematically ordered symbols of language, represents a mathematical formula that influences an individual's entire life. They teach that name is the means by which the abstract forces of Consciousness are brought into form through these name formulas.

They offer Name Reports to validate this teaching, and balance names to bring these forces into harmony. They teach that unbalanced names adversely influence health, limit success, and disturb one's overall happiness, harmony, and balance.

Their website has over 750,000 brief name analyses to demonstrate this theory.

The Kabalarian Philosophy balances names to improve the overall health, happiness, and well-being of the child or adult.

Kabbalah 

1. A form of Jewish Mysticism, dating back at least to the 12th Century or even earlier. Kabbalists themselves say it dates back to just after Adam was expelled from the garden of Eden. From mediaeval times, the Kabbalah has been "borrowed" by Christian alchemists and ritual magicians.

Note that real magicians do not charge money for spiritual enlightenment.

2. A cult invented in the 1960s by a fake Rabbi called Michael Berg. He basically just read all the books on the subject and created a million-pound enterprise aimed at getting money out of gullible celebrities like Madonna, etc.

1. Isaac Luria (famous mediaeval Kabbalist): The way to enlightenment is to meditate upon the secret teachings which the Lord has hidden within the scriptures.

2. Michael Berg: The way to enlightenment is to pay me $200 for some old tat that was already available free or next to nothing anyway.

kabbalah 

A once secretive, proud tradition that only the wisest Torah scholars could study, and for good reasons. The knowledge and understanding that Kaballah can bring has overwhelmed some the wisest scholars in Jewish history, driving them to the brink of madness. To study Kaballah, a man had to be AT LEAST 40 years old, and has to have grown a beard and raised a family, activities which require nearly infinite patience.

However, thanks to Madonna and other opportunists, Jewish mysticism has been degraded into a new fad that any putz with a red string on his wrist can claim to understand. Anybody who thinks that a red bracelet will make him wise or holy is delusional.

Famous Kabbalah masters have included Rabbi Loew, who constructed a living golem from clay to protect the jewish people, and Rabbi Akiva, who entered the Garden of Eden while still alive, learned its secrets, and lived to tell the tale.
