Ask Anything

Though it seems related, this is completely unrelated to the wisdom of Kabbalah because with those who are in your family you do not have even the beginnings of a spiritual relationship. I have with my family essentially the equivalent of what lions or monkeys have. If you get along, it won’t bring spiritual benefit; if you don’t, it won’t bring spiritual harm. Spirituality is another dimension entirely. Better to not even connect the two. On the level of this world, family and such, you don’t need spiritual advice. In fact, the most spiritual will be to behave there as if there is no spirituality, no Kabbalah. Then, decide what would be the best, most normal, effective approach to this person? To what efforts on your part would they respond well? Once you’ve made the scrutinies, along these lines, and your efforts, it could be that you can’t have a relationship with them, for now.

Hi Aguinaldo,

It doesn’t work that way. Problems are sent to awaken a person, to ask what this life is for. If the problem disappears, I stop asking. If I don’t need problems, because I’m already running toward the goal of life, then perhaps there is a different calculation made with me, from Above. But the moment I stop chasing the goal of life, a whole system designed to bring me to it, goes to work.

In short, you can’t use Kabbalah for any purpose accept to attain the goal of life.

Hi Pradeep,

These are all good, necessary things. We need fear to reach love. Before I can reach love, which will require fear in order to hold onto the love, I need to start with fear that I’m not taking care of the ten, I’m not sufficiently pushing them toward the goal, soon they will fall from the connection, or if we’re connected, we’re not connected enough. Until I’m worrying for this, all the way to the point of connection on the degree of Gmar Tikun, the fear is not enough – and it wouldn’t matter if I reached the degree of love as I would not be able to hold onto it without establishing fear first.

If you knew your proximity to the goal you might give up, or on the contrary, run toward it egoistically. In other words, you couldn’t move forward, Above Reason.

You go, doing all you can, until the end. The Creator knows when the end is.

No, no – do whatever you want with romantic love. That’s nothing more than what birds do when the male dances in front of the female. It’s on the animate level. Kabbalah deals with higher things.

That said, Kabbalists always tried to be married so that the animate body of ours is taken care of and doesn’t bother us about that.
