Hi Mary,

There is no preference or specific practice. You can always try and read sources.

Hi mrc,

“Equal” here just refers to qualities. So if there are only two qualities – bestowal and reception – then equal or closer or farther with regards to these qualities. One can never be equal to another in this world, therefore Kabbalah doesn’t refer to this concept in our world.  (I understand you weren’t saying that, just for others who have similar questions).

The “successful” part you refer to is an observation we have since we measure everything according to the ego, the perception that doesn’t perceive an integral system. In addition, “sooner” or “later” has only to do with the root of the soul. We all have one, it’s unique and there’s nothing a person can control other than the speed of one’s development, which is the last part to your question. A person, by the root of their soul, may be closer to spirituality, but the effort they need to invest or the “flavor” of the corrections they’ve been given makes it to where they can realize themselves possibly at a later “time” than others – but truly, it’s a matter of the environment. This has to do with how well a person can create for themselves the environment that will lift them up out of their ego. If the environment is successful, the person is successful. The general and the particular are the same. It all just depends on whether or not one can invest in that sufficiently.

Thanks!

I answered your first question first since it’s relevant here as well.

Hi Pooya,

If you’re talking about what the Hebrew word means, then it would translate to reception. LeKabel = To Receive/Kabbalah = Reception.

If you want to ask about healing, and you’re referring to an inner “wound”, then Kabbalah will guide you where you need to go to see for yourself why you’re hurt in the first place, where it came from and what you need to do.

Thanks!

Hi Shaun,

There’s no requirement to have any background in the Jewish religion, the writings of the Torah or what is written about Mitzvot – how to observe them and when etc… These are all just symbolic to Kabbalists. The benefit comes later when you’ve attained what it means to perform a Mitzva in a spiritual sense which is the place they were taken from in the first place. Religion just kept the physical action and disregarded the inner action. Without the inner grasp of what this type of action is within your will to receive, or “atop” it, the physical actions (pertaining to students) usually just confuse the person trying to learn what the inner wisdom actually is, what the wisdom of Kabbalah is actually referring to if at the same time the student puts finds importance in the physical actions themselves as if they somehow affect the upper worlds.

Best of luck,

Chris

Isn’t it more logical if the world’s above “this world” is ascending in degrees of pleasure/pleasantness rather than still including mix of bad up to Beriah..? I thought that after crossing the machsom there are only ascent (pleasure).. ? thx
