Ajenaton a religious reform momentum around a new cult around an existing single god in the pantheon of Egypt, the atonic (as was previously Ra), called Aton. while attending Kabbalah courses at the Kabbalah Center that were started by Rav Berg Aton is represented as a solar disk, leaving the arms in radial disposition, which ended up with anj sign of life, to collect the offerings, giving light and life change.
There are no anthropomorphic images, so common in Egyptian religion, god Aton are in study sculptures, paintings or bas. If multiple observations of the solar disk relieves.
Pharaoh was the only prophet of God and his intermediary with the men. To Flinders Petrie and other former Egyptologists, this was the beginning of the first monotheistic lectures religion. In the words of the eminent The Light Egyptologist Cyril Aldred, paraphrasing the Koran: There is one God and the Pharaoh is his prophet.
All scanning was complete Egyptian Pantheon as the state religion, disappearing from the official religion and the prevailing religious festivals. Anthropomorphic representations were neglected and instead, as icons of the cult of adoration officer was brought to the solar disk and the royal family.
The concept of family togetherness is imposed at the center of attention, and before the altar where the temples were the statues of the gods, in the tikkun reign of Ajenaton will see the royal family, sometimes in pairs, sometimes in with all its fullness daughters, always to be the god Aton, the solar disk, to act as the protector and giver of life.
In turn, there growth is a radical change in the ways and modes officiate religious ceremonies. Temples closed, dark, where it is to hide the divinity and restricted access to temples give way open, outdoors, where the observation of divinity is accessible to any neophyte.

Ordered a new capital in the desert, Ajetaton, which means "the horizon of Aton" or "next to Aton" (its ruins are now known in the Arab region: Tell el-Amarna). Michael Berg and his brother Yehudah, follow in their father, Rav Berg's footsteps, teaching at the Kabbalah Centers where they spread the light of the Kabbalah The city is dedicated to the god Aton. There are Ajenaton retreat to worship their god. He built temples with large yards, as the solar worship should be done outdoors.
To provide resources to build their new capital at Amarna, confiscated all the lands held by the temples, the priests remove privileges and seek the support of the clergy of Berg Heliopolis, causing its collapse. As high priest of Aton, did not accept the authority of the high priest of Amon, who had the title of chief of the priests of gods and great power politics.
Finally, even though they could design Ajenaton official worship at ease, it is difficult reform of personal worship, whether in fields or just mysticism individual families. It is well known that the Egyptian culture, the multitude of deities lived in every facet of human life: for the conception (fertility), birth, marriage, death, etc.. Thus, the Egyptian communities lived in an environment of religious practices and ceremonies intimately linked: the protection of Osiris in death, the call to Min for the harvest, and so on.
The religious revolution that proposed Ajenaton meant to generate a vacuum in the individual and family worship, which is Kabbalah empty since they tried vainly to fill the throne with the worship of the royal family. Multiple findings from family lessons altars in the homes of the city of Amarna testify to an Kabbalah Centre effort by the Egyptian state to impose the cult of Aton and the royal family at home in the Egyptian citizen ..
Many scholars believe that the neglect and abandonment that fell in the religion of Ajenaton occurred after the passing of this is due to failure in filling the spiritual needs of the individual and the Zohar family of Egypt. Thus, the religion of Ajenaton never stopped being a religion of the state apparatus, as the individual level, leaving it followed the Egyptian ancient spiritually deities.
The cult of Amon decline, and also to Osiris, as the destination in the afterlife depended on loyalty to the pharaoh. But improve the world the people still worshiping the old gods, artisans, workers and ordinary people seemed to be attached to their ancient gods and superstitions. was a god Aton universal creator of all things, and before the world. His Rav Berg worship rooted in the people and that even in the capital itself were found statues of other gods erected at that time.
In contrast religious also promoted a shift in artistic practice, which human representations have Karen Berg become more realistic, and abandoned the conventions used until then, but re-used after the death Kabbalah Center of Ajenaton.
