I recently checked out the Kabbalah website and noticed fundamental contradictions.
1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity,
3 The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.

Supposedly Kabbalah teaches methods on overcoming the "ego". But then Kabbalah delves into methods of calculating physics coordinates. Apparently Kabbalah contends that we can attract events to happen in our lives by attracting certain patterns of atoms or physics. The patterns of physics in our lives determine what materializes in our lives - supposedly by controlling physics, you control your life.
The contradiction lies in that you can't really overcome your "ego" through control. The ego is control. You can't overcome the "ego" by feeding it - it's a contradiction. Kabbalah is based on lies and deceptions.
Sorcerers, witches, alchemists, Satanists, Kabbalahists all seem to deal with manipulating physics.

When you mess around with that stuff, you are surrendering your control to supernatural powers.

[would that include, surrendering to Christ?, or becoming a christian soldier?]
Yes - we have the freedom to choose. We can repent of our sins and surrender our power to Christ or we can surrendar our power to evil. The powers of evil will have you think that you possess the power to control your world through sorcery, etc. But by the very act of sorcery you surrendar your power to evil. You request the powers of evil to do your bidding. However, it is a deception because you aren't controlling the powers of evil - it's a delusion = the powers of evil are controlling you.

"During the Middle Ages (5th century to 15th century), science, religion, and magic often were not clearly distinguished in either Judaism or Christianity. In medieval Europe, ancient magical traditions became deeply intertwined with the Jewish mystical system called Cabala and also with surviving pre-Christian folk magic, which involved a wide assortment of spells, charms, customs, and beliefs."

Do the knowledge on authentic teachings of Kabbalah and The Tree of Life(Paut Neter), and you'll see a vast difference.
...
When studying the Tree of Life, one can also begin to see that every authentic religion is based on it.....

since we are trying to phonetically translate a hebrew word it can be written in anyway possible, kaballa, kaballah, quabalah, qabalah, caballah, etc... the important part is you get the phonetics right.
