It’s hard to put them on a scale of importance since it’s all one system, but if you look at it as “what’s more relevant for our times” you could say Rashbi was more important for us.

Hey mrc,

Yeah, you could say something like that. Something about what is “shattered” becoming “whole” – our perception of others.

Chris

If our values of good and bad are: good = close to the Creator and bad = distance from the Creator, then we can say that self-love is bad since it separates us from Him.

Chris

They will always be something “outside” of you that you are perceiving “inside” until you make the corrections to bring what’s outside to the inside – make them yours. Whether it’s positive or negative, currently, it’s always within the ego. The goal is to relate to them above the ego.

Chris

Hey mrc,

We can get into a lot of confusion discussing perception of reality. Ultimately, we should always try and “pop out” of the natural tendency of looking at things and move to adopt the perception of, “None else besides Him” and “If I’m not for me, then who?”. At the beginning of the day, I must go and do what I feel I need to do and make decisions how I would make them. At the end of the day, look back at it as the Creator directing me. We can’t fool ourselves into falsely feeling we don’t have any free choice if we don’t actually feel where it is or where it isn’t. We are gradually acquiring a new perception, a correct perception and this is continuous until the end of correction. The tendency should always be to aim for what I wrote above and any corrections/adjustments that need to be made, you will know what they are and if you stay on the path, you’ll know how to ask for them.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi M H,

That’s basically it, here there is a method for correction. If you’re drawn towards revealing the Source of your existence and realize your purpose – this is what Kabbalah will help you attain. It sounds like you still have a bit to sort out. We don’t recommend trying to combine religion and Kabbalah. Most of the time, it works itself out, we would simply try to suggest from the beginning not trying to mix them just to save confusion down the road where anyways you would need to “choose” between one or the other ultimately. No rush towards that since it needs to be natural – wherever your heart leads you is what you should choose, but you need to make a decision nonetheless.

Best of luck!

Chris
