Tell her you have chosen to be a Christian and you do not want to do Kabbalah, end of story. She needs to honor your choices.

just don't listen, she will run out of hot air. By not following her religion you have already made it clear that you are not interested. Try the same tactics on her, ask here to come to church, read the Bible with her, etc. Maybe by learning about each other's beliefs you could become closer.

Christianity and kabbalah are very similar really.
Kaballah only happens to go into the spiritual aspects of it a lot deeper.
They are all paths to the same goal.
At first glance they may look worlds apart but if you give it a chance you will find that all the world religions & philosophies have the same teachings.
Rather than rejecting her, accept her & give her your attention. Her faith means a lot to her & that's probably why she is so excited about it...
If religions can coexist , we can too...

This is tricky, she's in a cult and has been brainwashed. I'm proud of you for sticking to your Christian beliefs. Sad to say, she's lost and needs your prayers. I think the best thing for you is to tell her you're very happy about your church and want to be a Christian; tell her you hope she will respect your wishes. Good luck dear.

Bless you. Tell her just like that. That you are not able to discuss it with her at this time without being disrespectful, due to your own lack of skill. That you will in future leave the room when that subject comes up, to cheerfully return when the conversation returns to any other subject.

Tell her that modern "Kaballah" is foolish - as REAL Kaballah takes years of dedicated study of Torah before one can even BEGIN to understand the mysticism contained in its writings. REAL practitioners of Kaballah LAUGH at this modern gnostic nonsense.
Maybe also you'll get her to see the light and come out of it - or - if she really wants to dedicate 20-30 years of her life to studying the Old Testament - that might be a good thing.

Cabala is the same fools errand as Christianity only one is an older form of the other, tell your mother that

Pull a vice versa, witness to her and ask the holy spirit to open her heart and mind. She needs to accept Christ and be in the truth. You are already in the truth, so why should you leave, for the sake of her soul she needs to join you in the faith.

She allows you your mysticism. Why do you wish to rule over hers? I will bet you bring up your Christianity to her and she answers patiently and allows your Church going. Yet you won't listen to her interest. You do know that a part of Christianity rests on the mystic numbers of the Qabalah---don't you?

Tell her that, unfortunately, there are just too many religions in the world.
They all claim to be true.
Tell her it's just an impossible situation.
That nobody in their right mind would embrace any one religion.
