Ask Anything

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

(Sorry I intend to ask this as a question, accidentally clicked here)

Hi Lisa,

Kabbalah doesn’t refer to anything in this world, the physical world. Each spiritual “root” must make a corporeal “branch” but there’s nothing spiritual in this world according to the wisdom of Kabbalah.

Thanks!

Hi Magloire,

Yes, it applies to any pleasure. Since Kabbalah literally translates as reception, it’s the wisdom for how to receive. So the way you perceive reality with the current vessels you have is one where you see reality 70 years of trying to fulfill your desires, turns into (with the addition of a new nature, a new “sense”) perceiving reality through new vessels which are all about filling the desires of the broken vessels outside of you. In order to fill them, you need to feel them, acquire them as your own and exist through them as a means not to receive for yourself, but to receive in order to bestow which is the intention to be similar to the Creator.

The gradual concealment of the One who created us is for us to each time have the right desire to reveal more and more. The true fulfillment is equal to the true pleasure which is infinite. An infinite vessel and infinite fulfillment. The desires that come and go, the ones we feel on this level are ultimately to awaken in us a new desire for actual fulfillment. You’ll notice you forget about all the pleasures you felt as if you never were fulfilled. This is how the will to receive works since it’s built to reach the degree of the Creator and this program won’t stop unfolding until the end of correction. It certainly feels like “oh, I just need to eat again?”, but nothing is repeated as the same state. The more sensitive you become to these things, you’ll see that each moment is an opportunity, it just depends on how ready you are to react to each opportunity correctly so you can become wiser from each state and not simply go through them as if in a dream.

Let me know if that’s not what you were asking. Hope that helps.

Thanks!

Saba I think is grandfather, but what about Tvuna?  I cant find this anywhere in the literature I was reading.  I finished the Zohar.  I am thinking I missed something.  Its good to know these words because it makes the text less confusing.

Hey Ceren,

Each person really is powerless when talking about the desire for bestowal. We have only this spark that lets us feel the emptiness of the will to receive for oneself along with a desire for something about this world, this perception of reality. This is the starting point for us all, but to expect a desire for more, cannot and will not come from oneself. A person is completely and totally dependent on the environment.

I wouldn’t set the bar so high. A person only studies where their heart is. If you can’t make it for the live lesson, watch it recorded (www.kabbalahmedia.info). Integrate here in the environment, and the morning lesson. You might feel like you have access to where the desire will come from and be able to integrate with it.

Don’t stress about this though. Just look at yourself from the side and see what the Creator is having you feel. It’s not for no reason, and you already know the direction, the aim, His intention – to bring you to equivalence with Him, expanding that point of desire He initially gave you to something infinite like Him. Try to react differently, check yourself – how you feel, what your thoughts are, mainly – what do you want, and to whom do you want to bring pleasure? To yourself or to the Creator? Once you have the diagnosis, you can already start working with the tools He gave you. This is the effort. You’re not expected to succeed, since real success is a true, heartfelt prayer to be rewarded with the quality of bestowal.

Best of luck,

Chris
