I'm a newbie to the Jewish Kabbalah, so you could probably leave me in the dust rather easily.
There was an article on PYSCHE: Interdisciplinary Journal about the Kabbalah and consciousness. I've lost the link to the specific article and will look for it later tonight, but I have to go off-line for awhile.
If you are interested in consciousness, you'll probably really go for this thread by betty boop. There is a lot of creative thinking going on over there and you'll find some exclusive insights into the scientists involved.
I have to go soon, too (it's getting on for 10pm here and I have things to do before I go to bed, so ping me with the link or FReepmail me!
