For
centuries, the notion that human beings can infuse a soul into
inanimate objects has persisted. The Jewish golem is probably the
most famous of
all golem legends. The golem of Prague is the focus of many golem books.
Frankenstein is one of the other celebrity golem incarnations.
Many cultures
have tales how sages or magicians could make an object "come to life."
The Jewish golem stories give the most detailed instructions on how to
make a spirit breathe inside of an object. The obscure writings in the
"Sefer Yetzirah" are said to provide the instructions on how to create a
universe- and a golem.

"Golem" is the
Hebrew word for an unformed mass or body. When you "roll" (GL) the body
into a form, and utter phrases over its body, you can bring it to life.
The method is
usually the same- form a body for the golem; create a mantra to utter
over it; transfer your soul or some named soul into the golem through
your breath, and often, put a parchment with some sacred writings inside
its mouth or write on its forehead. The golem is suppose to move on its
own- an independent automaton. There are many variations on how this
way actually done. But all agree- it can be done.
In Jewish
mysticism, the Sefer Yetzirah -Yetsirah- (Book of Creation or Book of
Formation) holds the key to the actual instructions to form the mantra
or spell that induces the transfer. The Book of Creation was originally
written in Hebrew, then translated into Latin, Yiddish and English. The
English versions are often based on Latin translations which were not
very clear in understanding Jewish mysticism.
The Kabbalah and
Jewish mysticism is intertwined in the creation of a golem. Reciting the
combination of the Hebrew letters with each other, then the letters
with the vowels produces a substantial change in consciousness- the
golem emerges.
On this web site,
the keys can be found to make this miracle of life happen, according to
the great Jewish rabbis who left clues for future generations to
rediscover. Those keys begins with some of the recommended books and
studies found on these pages.
The golem is
real. It has been documented in science that the inanimate can animate
under the right conditions. Electricity brings our world to life by
self-powering almost everything we use- TVs, ACs, computers,
refrigerators and even lights. Portable batteries carry small amounts of
energy without the need for cables or wires. We accept this transfer of
energy as commonplace and expect it to assist in our lifestyle.
Robots are
golems. Their life force is induced by electricity to conduct
specifically programmed activities- build cars, bottle and package foods
and other items. In the next few years, you will be able to buy
portable robots that will vacuum your carpet by itself. Those robots
will be available for sale through here soon!
