      Hi,

      I am a beginning student of Kabbalah and I am extremely excited to continue learning more about the wisdom of Kabbalah.

      I recently watched a documentary on YouTube titled “Who Created Nothing?”.  In it they discuss the hypothesis that before the Big Bang the photons that were in the singularity came from the end of the universe that existed before.

      My question is then: “What started the cycle in the first place?” and “Where did the original matter come from to start the cycle?”.

      In the documentary the scientist admitted that they can only speculate since they don’t know how matter came into being from nothing.

        Hey Tom,

        That’s kind of the imaginary “wall” that the brilliant minds in our world want to be able to bridge –  spirituality and our material world. What makes it even more confusing (even frustrating for those trying to attain this in our corporeal minds) is that none of the material world exists but rather only in our imagination, inside of us.

        Sure there are root and branch, cause and consequence, but the moment the “spark” of spirituality penetrated into our world slowing down to the speed of light (initially above space and time) – this would have to exist only in the mind of the perceiver – there’s nothing else to say about it but to rise above movement, space and time in our consciousness and from there attain the force that moves every particle in our reality.

        I know that’s not a satiating answer, but the more you step closer to that in your emotion, the more you can peel back for yourself and feel the answer within you. Words aren’t helpful here.

        Best of luck!

          Thanks for the answer Chris.  I forgot to post the link to the video for us, but what you said makes sense to me.

      So our work before the revival of the dead is only giving to give?

      • #307441

        Our entire path is the gradual correction of our use of the will to receive. This would start with taking the “lightest” bit of our desire that we can possibly use in order to bestow.

      Is receiving in order to bestow only at the revival of the dead.?

      • #307440

        This would be using the entire will to receive in order to bestow called “revival of the dead”.

      Is faith above reason downplays knowledge what should we do about corporeal matters.

      • #307439

        That’s incorrect. It does not “downplay” knowledge since the “reason” or “knowledge” is necessary to build faith above it.

        Don’t forget that “corporeal” actually means “in order to receive”. This should help clear up some confusions along the way if you write this down and do not forget it.

      Is the soul a desire to receive or desire to bestow?

      • #307438

        Technically there’s no “desire to bestow” we just call it as such, but yes, the soul is the “device” which is our intention to bestow above our will to receive.
