Ask Anything

If Kabbalists wrote about something in the spiritual roots, then the root must touch its branch in this world. But it doesn’t mean it happens as we imagine it. For example, people imagined, based on the Torah, a man who lives in the sky with a white beard. It works for mankind. It doesn’t work for the Creator. We can’t stand just an interplay of forces. Even electricity we have to draw with squiggly yellow lines. So here too we want to be able to depict the interplay of forces in a way that suits us. While the reality is different. We have to attain those states to really know them.

Because of the exponential growth of the ego. What else?

As long as you’re taking care of the basics of life, such as job, food, money, family, then the rest of your time is yours to show the Creator and show yourself what is important to you.

The main thing is to work on the connection with the spiritual group. The rest of Kabbalah is only the study of the details of this action. The Sefirot, worlds…it’s all the details of this connection.

When you connect correctly with the group, you have the Kli (vessel) in which the Creator is revealed.

If something helps you think of the Creator, that’s good. It’s a question still if it is putting me in closer proximity to actual spiritual states. Because people think all kinds of things are close to spiritual. But actually the Point in the Heart is not just some tendency but it is the backside of the backside of the first spiritual degree, and this drives a person exactly toward the authentic wisdom of Kabbalah, in its cleanest possible form. If I have this property, which is an alien property, the quality of Bina, at least to some extent, then my music could transmit that to some extent. If I don’t have this quality, then it’s not my music that makes you think of the Creator, but something that was already in you, from your studies, environment, etc.

In Kabbalah, what matters most is where something takes you spiritually.

If music, any music, wakes up in you a real desire for the Creator, or makes you feel love and connection, then it’s doing something good. The Kabbalists teach that anything bringing you closer to the Upper Force has value. Your feelings become a tool for spiritual growth.

But there’s something special about music from Kabbalists like Baal HaSulam. These melodies aren’t just beautiful sounds. They carry the spiritual experiences of the Kabbalists who created them. When you listen with the right intention, you’re not just having your own feelings, you’re connecting to the spiritual places they reached.

Regular music, even great music like Coldplay, brings people together where they are. Everyone feels united, but on the same level. Kabbalistic music is designed to lift you upward, toward higher spiritual states, toward the Creator.

When the music stops, where are you? Do you feel more desire to study, to connect with your spiritual group, to work on yourself? Or do you just feel good about yourself?

Music that turns your heart toward the Creator, whatever its source, has helped you. But music created by Kabbalists specifically as spiritual tools carries extra power because it contains their spiritual attainment.

Even if it feels similar, Christian music often points toward different spiritual ideas (like intermediaries between you and God). Those intentions are baked into the music. You might absorb them without realizing it, which can create confusion in your Kabbalistic work.

Use music that wakes you up spiritually. But stay aware of where it’s trying to take you. Always redirect those awakened feelings back to your Kabbalistic path, your studies, your group, your desire to grow.
