The Secret Doctrine of the Gaon of Vilna: Mashiach ben Yoseph and the Messianic Role of Torah, Kabbalah and Science
This work reveals the ancient yet futuristic imperative behind the unexpected confluence between Kabbalah and science that was prophesized to begin in the year 1840 and onward. This prediction, first revealed in the 13th century Zohar, necessitates the “reunion” of the kabbalistic “wisdom from above” together with the technological “wisdom from below” in order to stimulate global redemption into the Messianic Age and beyond. This mystical doctrine is based upon the teachings of the Gaon of Vilna drawn from his writings and especially from the 200 year old hidden book Kol HaTor - The Call of the Turtledove – kept secret and only published in 1968. The Secret Doctrine of the Gaon of Vilna is the first ever extensive and coherent presentation of the esoteric Kabbalah school of Rabbi Eliyahu ben Shlomo Zalman, considered among the greatest Torah sages and mystics of the last several centuries.

A must read for anyone who believes in a Messiah!

This is mostly a book about a book, the Kol HaTor, or about the guy it was based off, written by one of his disciples, R. Hillel Rivlin of Shklov, who claims as much. Who was he, what was his purpose, and who did he think he was? From how I understood it he was a Jesus or Yoseph like character sent to bring about a mission he was seemed to have given by religious purposes and study of the Kabbalah. He happened to be a genius, or that’s what he was known by, the Gaon of Vilna. Insight into his existence is still debated as a certain religious idea.
Nonetheless something like this connects science with religion and paints one as being more right, historically accurate, and logical as being the best one. But who was the Gaon and what was his motive? Was he who he said he was? He claimed to have a complete understanding of the Kabbalah and knew all the secrets it had hidden. It gave instructions on how to prepare for the paradigm shift which is akin to the zodiac shifting into a new sign.
When I was a young child I pledged to read the Bible to see if it was real or not. Unfortunately this project was shelved and I am just now getting around to it, with the emergence of this book. People like books that speak to them and are related to their life and events going on that they may be biased towards its actual importance and the things that may be going on.
While the Gaon was married with children he led a busy life, studying and lecturing at his leisure. He knew all the innermost secrets of the Torah but one incident stood out. He went to make a trip to Jerusalem and cancelled, returning. He never gave the reason for his failed adventure save that Heaven did not allow him to make it at the time. Nonetheless he has to his credentials other feats of supposed genius thinking and routine, if he ever was a real person at all, meaning that the different messiahs are all different aspects of the same person, who is sent to complete his mission, with two other messiahs and other characters as well. It’s just that we’re experiencing it in this time. Generally, people know why they are here or what they need to accomplish. You can’t really waste that much time or give yourself away too much in that regard especially while working from important positions of the government or other hierarchical structures. The Kabbalah recently became publicly available in 1840 and is no longer privatized just for those initiated.
Apparently, what the book sets out to do is make the religion work based off all the coolest, latest, sciences. If you’re into that I can recommend it but otherwise I can also say science has yet to prove any of the wilder speculation. There’s also a volume II of this book, a sort of sequel although they were originally planned as one large bound, which goes into more detail about the fractal nature of the reality. The Kabbalah states everything that can happen has happened through its text. That’s one example of the fractals in action itself.
