Much has been written of late concerning the ancient science of Cabala. It has even reached cult status in some circles. Here is a most remarkable book that clearly shows that Cabala is alive and well and in daily use in all facets of modern society. For this illuminating study, best selling author John Michael Pocock has chosen a vibrant young democracy, the Philippines. For those not familiar with this land of destiny he has also provided a glossary, numerous explanatory footnotes, a potted history and a brief biography of the key personalities together with numerous examples of the Cabala as it is practiced today. Cabala has always been a tool of enlightenment and enrichment, both for individuals and peoples, especially in times of bewilderment. In its broadest sense Cabala attempts to elicit understanding of the contradictory universe that we are all bound by, a kind of metaphysical yet practical Chaos Theory for the soul and mind. A fascinating example of the classic struggle between darkness and light unfolding daily before the eyes. It is in such an environment that Cabala has traditionally come to the fore. It was so in biblical times as it was in the days of Nostradamus. The Philippines is no exception to the natural law, and its time has come. Within the pages of this book proof positive that Cabala, the ancient science of prophecy and understanding, is alive and well.

The Nostradamus Cabala Code,
By Chris Hanrahan (Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Nostradamus Cabala Code (Paperback)
John Pocock's "The Nostradamus Cabala Code" is two books in one. The first book tells us a little of what Cabala (or Kabbalah, a mystical movement in Judaism) is all about; " a kind of metaphysical Chaos Theory for the soul and mind", as Pocock sees it.The second book is an entertaining, albeit truncated and not very serious, history of the Philippines, right up to the present day, as "explained" by some of the predictions of "Nostradamus" (Michel de Notredame, a 16th Century French astrologer and doctor) and Pocock's Cabalistic interpretations of the lives and deeds of some of the Philippines' leading figures. Prominent among these is Jose Rizal, a 19th Century doctor and novelist who became the national hero of the Philippines. Some Cabalists use certain divine words as magic to heal the sick and perform miracles. They find hidden meanings in the Bible on which to base these deeds. Pocock, somewhat ingeniously, uses such Cabalistic techniques to reach his own findings about Philippine history and current affairs. Much of what he has to say about the contemporary scene is extremely tongue-in-cheek and even rather bizarre. For instance, he even goes so far as to give a Cabalistic interpretation of a Philippine commercial for vitamin pills in early 2001!

A description with insight and whimsy,
By Edward R. Teja (Silver City, NM USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Nostradamus Cabala Code (Paperback)
The problem with so many metaphysical books is that the take themselves so seriously that they are totally devoid of humor. While John Pocock certainly takes his subject seriously, his is not entirely a somber perspective. The Cabal is a way of deciphering life, after all, and life is sometimes too absurd to take too seriously. Although the book is targeted to explaining current events in The Philippines, the knowledge and insights let you do your own interpretations for wherever you live. A worthy thing to have around.
