Ask Anything

Hey Luke,

This has always been the struggle of a Kabbalists. On one hand, they feel the obligation to spread the wisdom for each and every one to hear and taste but on the other hand, no one can hear or taste if there’s no desire.

This is why BHS explains that it needs to be “wrapped” in something the public can digest and gradually the world will become more and more ripe–also our methods will change, the means to reach the public will improve etc.. All these things which are out of our hands, are not things we try to control. We just need to continue to try to produce new methods of reaching humanity while at the same time not ruining it for them by giving them a bad impression, by giving them something they don’t want and it becomes repulsive. That’s not what we want. That’s why we always just recommend books. Hand a book over and it doesn’t require you to talk or explain anything which as beginners it a dangerous thing. Best is to hand over a book and if they’re interested, they’ll read. Just ask them to hand it back if they’re a friend of yours, that way they’ll feel a little pressure to get in and finish it.

But regardless, if a person doesn’t have a point in the heart, they won’t hear anything the wisdom of Kabbalah has to say. The world just needs to come to recognition of evil, recognition that the will to receive for ourselves is the root of all the problems, and agreeing to this will leave them open to the only solution in changing our nature.

Ultimately, the only thing that’s important is that those who have had their points in the heart awakened, they need to do their work–they need to truly start the correction in uniting the soul back together and this action will awaken the rest of the world. This is the most important.

Hope that helps, thanks!

Hey Gina,

That’s exactly when the calendar starts “counting”. That would be day zero. When Adam had the desire to reveal his creator.

Hey Nancy,

Not simply “altruistic behavior” but a complete change in nature.

According to Kabbalah, the act itself is not what influences reality, rather it’s the intention.

The method of Kabbalah is strictly to correct man’s nature. Consuming or not consuming animal products won’t influence the inner change that needs to occur.  Kabbalah as a whole, does not look at the person in this world and how they need to act or behave. It’s a method that a person uses in order to understand what inner actions to make in order to awaken the light that reforms so we will want to bestow.

Hope that helps, thanks!

Hey Luke,

This is a very conscious act, you know exactly what you want to do and what you lack to do it and when you receive what you lack it’s clear. Just like if you need some salt, you add just the amount and you taste the difference.

If you don’t finish the correction you’ll continue in “the next round”!

Hi Alina,

No, need to dwell on the past, if that’s what you’re asking. Yes, the study will show a person their nature gradually, and the more one knows of their nature and how that specific quality within them is what is keeping them from a good life, they will be happy in that revelation.

Thanks!

Hey Luke,

In Kabbalah, the focus is on the inner, spiritual meaning of the Torah, covenants, and mitzvot rather than their external, physical observance. The writings of Baal HaSulam emphasize that the true essence of these practices is an external expression of the spiritual action–the need to want to mimic the spiritual root. The covenant of Abraham, for example, symbolizes the commitment to align oneself with the path of bestowal and love for others. It’s about cultivating an inner state where we strive to rise above our egoistic desires and connect with the upper force.

Similarly, Mitzvot in Kabbalah are understood as spiritual actions or corrections that help us develop the qualities necessary for spiritual growth. They are not limited to physical rituals but are about the intention behind our actions and the inner work we do to transform our desires. The method of Kabbalah is one that gives a person the tools they need to draw the force of development upon them so it guides them and changes them according to their own desire and request. None of these things are dependent on who your mother was, or if you converted–or whatever your religion is or was. Ever human on Earth will need to undergo this transformation, therefore these definitions are ones each person will need to become familiar with, but again, has nothing to do with religious practices. The main this will always be the intention.

Thanks!

Chris
