Ask Anything

Hi, What is the definition of a Kabbalist (or sometomis it even says „true“ Kabbalist in the texts)? And how does it differ to  saying „and advanced student“ of Kabbalah? Sometimes tect speak of the one, and then the other… Thank you 🙂

Is Kabbalah considered pantheistic or panentheistic?

Hi, I`ve been studying with KabU only for a few months, and first of all I just wanted to leave a big and  heartfelt „THANK YOU“ to all of the KABUTeam… KabU team, the way you lead us beginners through all this is really, really helpful, and it´ś such a great setup with all the different courses, the forums, the Q/A sessions… and all those Videos, they are really amazing … I am truly grateful for the chance to study Kabbalah this way, and I so much appreciate all the work you put in this. 🥰

Now, in this forum I read a lot of very detailed questions, and quite a few of them were discussing the meaning of Torah, of some specific rituals, laws, commandments, … on the other hand, in the courses I learned that Kabbalah is exactly not about religion, that it´ś rather science, because it needs to be attained, observed and not believed in. When I started the courses, I was all intrigued by the scientific aspects of Kabbalah, maybe because I have some background there, and I really liked the idea of not having to believe but try,… anyways, now that I am progressing with the couses, I just dońt see the science yet. Please dońt get it wrong, I am totally happy with all that I learned… And for me, itś deeply spiritual, more than anything I have learned or practiced so far,… only I want to perceive it the right way. So, what I am trying to do is read it with an open mind, try to be unprejudiced, ready to be surpised by any revelation. In that, I am trying an empiric scientific approach. And I am getting, that once I get into a 10, the „lab“ might really be such, if the conditions to practice have determined factors, like in an experiment in a science lab.So, I am just seeking reassurance… well and the group, a teacher , and books of course…is that how it´ś meant? And is that all it needs? An open heart and an open mind? (Point in the heart included, for I am here…) After all,  I did not bother much about the religious impact yet, although I find the texts hard to understand as I dońt have any Jewish religious education, and the terminology reminds me so much of religion after all. Can I go on like that? Or will I just be disappointed then or getting to limits of understanding, if I dońt have that religious background ( I have a Christian background… but I never really took anything literally, and I am not into religion in terms of laws and dogmas, so I just cannot relate to it).

Thanks a lot :-))

Greetings fam and peace onto you,

Would a correct perception of this and the spiritual realm be that “nothing truly exists except the Creator?” as clearly stated by Rav in books etc. (eg. Attaining the Worlds Beyond)

That and other parts of the study seem to suggest that we are just virtual parts, ignorant of the true divinity and infinite from which He made us. This makes perfect sense in my mind if this is how it’s all designed by the infinite Creator and it feels like explaining it in this way is making the end goal and current perceptions much more clear. I see that our study is clearly meant to break the egoistic shell that we’re born with and conditioned to stay in by our environment, but if we’re short-cutting and attempting to attain the mentioned view, is it accurate? I realize that it’s not easy to reach such a perception, but is it the end goal? I feel like if I accept it in that manner then I can more easily accept the challenges and pains of this realm and even accept that I don’t even have the ability to live outside of it, but I do have the ability to live in truth.

Thanks and much love,

Scott

Hello there 🤗! I am a beginner, I’ve been studying Kabbalah for some weeks now and I would like to check if I am on the right track. Here is what I have understood so far:

1. I cannot perceive the entire reality correctly because everything I perceive is filtered by my senses and interpreted by the ego in a way that serves my ego. So what I actually perceive through my senses are parts of me that have to be corrected.

2. I have to receive and accept everything that is in my life with joy and with the intention to bestow to the Upper Force (feel appreciation)

3. I have to connect with others with empathy and bestow to them ( offer them what I truly and unegoistically think they need) with the intention of understanding the Upper Force and feeling what it feels.

I’ ve been trying to put this in practice already, so I would to understand if this is right or am I missing something. Thank you!
