I gathered as much. It's like religion, it is all pretty much rehashes of each other, throw in a few different names, different words, etc. But I think there are a lot of hints and good pointers throughout all of the literature, it's just a matter of discernment and wading through the garbage to find something worthy or valuable.
Don't get me wrong; the Kabbalah when used with Astrology and the Tarot is brilliant for helping a person know and understand more about themselves.
The Tree of Life is like a map of the universe and corresponds to so many things in life you'll be surprised.
The Tree of Life glyph can be used to show the faculties of the mind, the human body, the solar system and anything in life be it animals, plants, herbs, incenses, metals, wood etc... can be found to correspond to at least one of the Sephiroth.
Take the fifth sephiroth for example, Geburah; it corresponds to the following; the number 5, the colour red, Mars, war, revolution, energy, tobacco, pine wood, iron, horses, and many more and the same goes for all the other sephiroth. Many practicing magicians use the Kabbalah for their rituals as well as other sources like grimoires etc...
Buddhism on the other hand is where you've had enough of the illusion of life and want complete liberation. I rate Buddhism above all other systems.
