kaballah is no different than any other mysticism, just in another cultural context. wether you read about the sephirots or the chakras, its essentially the same.  not to mention since ancient times every mystery school borrowed foreign myths to appear exotic and legitimate. the mithra cult being just one example. trying to pin it all on the kaballah, when the kaballah as everything else is an amalgation of various mystery schools is kind of foolish.  to this day freemasons teach kaballah, but also claim to be the builders of babel, the descendents of cain, the continuation of the egyptian mysteries and so on, all to appear all important and ancient.
