Hi Chris
Thank you so much for your wise answers.
Regarding question number 5, are you arguing that the Universe is not expanding? and if something else is happening, what might that be?
regarding question number 4, I know that time is a feature of humans or the matrix or our 3D world but that wasn’t my question. my question is, is time continuous or discrete? because if time is discrete what happens between time bits ?
because time does not exist under Plank’s time size (which is 10^⁻³⁴ sec.) so the universe doesn’t exist under Plank’s time which supports the theory that time is discrete.
regarding question number 8, since Kabbalah has a path to the ultimate objective truth, it must have the ability to explain phenomena that science hasn’t been able to answer yet, so according to Kabbalah, where did the first cell came from?
regarding question number 7, I know that everything happens within our subjective POV of the world but still we have a collective base POV of reality and Kabbalah doesn’t intend to disproof science and as a matter of a fact, it walks “hand in hand” with science, so science hasn’t decided yet if our Universe always existed or it began with the “big bang”,
so, which is it?
regarding question number 11, the creator’s frequency is infinite, how likely is that humans in a finite form can equate form with the creator?
thank you for your time, I really appreciate your wonderful work in this framework.

Hey Amos,

Kabbalah doesn’t say the universe is expanding or not, but we do understand that the universe is actually something produced as an image we create and not what is actually outside of us–what’s outside we can’t say anything about, only about how we perceive it within. If it appears to us that it’s expanding–then this is what’s happening. If it appears to us as static, so this is how it is.

Time is a complete fabrication of the human perception. It necessarily has to exist for us. It’s part of the framework we unconsciously build for ourselves. You’re trying to divide it into smaller and smaller ‘bits’ when really, it’s more correct to label time as the sensation of change–and this is what gives us the sensation of time, not that there is some universal timer that’s ticking.

Where did the first cell come from? The answer comes from the same place the more basic question comes from which is why does the universe even exist? Why did atoms form and why did they tend to form molecules etc. etc. We’re seeing a kind of “unfolding” of a program but in the realm of forces where no time exists, the final form already appears in full. We have to experience it this way but that’s just in order to exist within the restriction in order to rise above it.

Hey Chris
Thank you for being so patient with me. but I have to dig deeper here.
If we measure the distance to remote galaxies and find out that they are moving away from us to a degree that there is a part of the universe that is invisible to us, does it matter how I feel about it inside?
As a matter of a fact, science has discovered that the Universe is expanding faster than the speed of light, shocking ha?
Is gravity also dependent on how we perceive it inside of us? science doesn’t invent anything it just discovers it, gravity existed before an apple fell on Newton’s head, before anyone knew what gravity means let alone perceive it in any way, but they somehow by “try and error” knew that if they don’t hold something it will fall to the ground, regardless of what their feelings are about it.
There must be a base collective perception of our reality.
There are some reality facts that are independent of how we feel about them.

See, Chris, we live in a simulation and like any good computer game, this simulation has a rule set and laws we have to play by. so, in our simulation, you can’t jump 100 feet in the air, I think the world record is 2.45 m’.
Also, if you are a good player, you can tweak or cheat the game a bit so someone in India can hold his breath for 5 minutes or walk on burning coals 😂 but that’s about it. gravity, the Universe, laws of physics are the same for billions of years.

I was to believe that since Kabbalah is the Jewish mysticism most powerful secret it might know how to answer a few questions that science don’t have answers yet.

I heard about this Kabbalist Rabbi that computed the length of a month a thousand years before NASA has calculated it and with more accuracy, so Kabbalah has in its powers to know things before science discover them.
So, Chris, please don’t keep any secrets from me, I promise I won’t tell anyone.
1. Was the big bang the starting point of the Universe?
2. Is the “String Theory” the answer to the building blocks of all matter?
3. are we living in a simulation?

4. Is a black hole a gateway to another Universe?
5. Is the Multiverse theory true?
6. what happens when you cross the limit of the Universe?
7. If the Universe is expanding (and we know it is) what is it expanding into?
8. How did the first cell create? and who put it on planet earth?
9. Does consciousness really affect the result of an experiment?
10. If a tree fell in the forest and there was no one to hear it falling, did it make a noise?
Thank you so much Chris, and remember, don’t hold anything back and I promise not to tell anyone.❤️🌷

Hey sorry, Amos! I just saw you added another response here…

The “big bang” is an interesting concept. The Kabbalist don’t really refer to it the way science has arrived at it today. The say it’s 13 billions years ago, but then maybe not d/t the fact that we can’t even “see” back that far, but now with the JW telescope they’re saying different numbers–doesn’t matter, all that to say they’re trying to locate some “time” where it all started. At that point, we’re already starting to play with this boundary that according to Kabbalah exists only within us anyway. It’s that same wall that physicist now are having to reconcile between Newtonian physics and quantum physics–the juxtaposition between a world which is clearly physical and a reality that clearly shows us nothing is physical.

There’s this proverbial “wall” which we won’t be able to cross with our current logic and scientific instruments because in order to discover the truth of where we actually are, what reality do we truly exist in–this requires an inner change in the human, if the human can reformat itself and acquire different senses, this is what allows you to see the same universe but on multiple levels. Like an onion that has many layers, it’s all the same onion but each layer reveals to you that same onion at a different “resolution”, let’s say.

You ask a lot of good questions, and unlike science, the Kabbalists didn’t leave for us answer to all these questions. I suppose because they wanted to leave room for us to develop. There are many examples for why revealing too much before one is ripe actually ruins the growth of a person, and this is just another one.

I’d instead point you in the right direction for you yourself to begin to develop the right senses and you yourself can then come to answer your own questions. That means, once you understand that you’re not in a physical reality, you’re not on a ball in outer space, among stars and galaxies with infinite space between them. You’re instead seeing a projection of your internality strewn out before your eyes. First start there. With that fact,you can then move forward. You need to start attaching what you perceive as outside of you and begin bringing it back inside yourself. This is the whole wisdom of Kabbalah–Kabbalah קבלה (LeKabel-[לקבל] – to receive) the wisdom of how to receive [correctly].

Kabbalists didn’t tell us abut black holes per-se, they didn’t talk about the double-split experiment that proves to us that some observer actually collapses the wave function etc., they didn’t speak in that language and dind’t even know there would be a way to open the physical reality in such a way (I’m guessing), because the physical reality wasn’t important to them. I mean, what they know as the truth, they knew to bring that closer to us and they teach us that the path to this truth is engaging in a practice that brings upon a person the Light that Reforms, and not engaging in the research of this corporeal reality. Let the scientists do that, and with their advancements they’re also bringing humanity closer to a certain truth but no matter how deep they search they will not find anything spiritual in this reality. This is the difference between what Kabbalists (scientists of the spiritual reality) and physicists (scientists of the corporeal reality).

For example, how could it be that a researcher of this world would be able to conclude that it was some change in the behavior of molecule to shift into some amino acid and interact with another  that caused the first cell to develop? The question will always be what caused it to do that? They’re looking for  a CAUSE, meaning the causal force in reality. You can research physical matter all you want, but the realm of forces that cause changes in our reality always stem from spiritual roots and this is already the Kabbalist’s domain…

Thank you Chris for your patience and smart answers

so what you’re saying is there’s a time to murder and a time to steal, and a time not to murder and a time not to steal? But it doesn’t say that, I guess I don’t get it

Don’t forget there are spiritual laws and laws of this world. If we were all observing spiritual laws and living accordingly, there would be no need for laws of society. It’s exactly because those laws are concealed that we have to resort to such laws like “don’t murder”, “don’t steal”. The corporeal interpretations are all we have to work with in the meantime until we reach corrected society.

so what you’re saying is, the work we did during the week on our ego is what we should restrict on Shabbat because we already laboured in that?

The “restrictions” are labeled as such because there is nothing to “work on” in the state of Shabbat. A person has already revealed the corrupted vessels and what is left is the corrections which is the work of the light.

so, are you saying that what Judaism calls the branches of the spiritual roots, the physical halacha, did not exist in that time,  but he somehow knew? Does there have to be a branch before one understands the root? Isn’t a branch somehow always physically manifested in this world?

Correct, but attaining those roots necessarily points to the branches in this world but that doesn’t mean a ‘book’ needed to be written.

So, that means he “did” actually do what judaism claims, he practiced the physical mitzvah’s but the key difference with Abraham is that he went from above downwards, rather than, below upwards?  Whereas Judaism today puts most importants on the branch instead of the root,  Am I getting that right?

Discussing with a friend, The claim is “Nefesh elokis (or divine soul) and the nefesh behamis, animal soul, everyone has the latter but only a jew has the divine soul.” This is taken from the Tanya, kabbalah, (i know, you don’t encourage outside sources and that is fine, because I don’t actually read the Tanya.) my guess is,  to reconcile our different views, is that, its simply a spiritual transition. A jew is a stage needed to be “developed” , people get confused thinking of “jew” is being limited to physicality, Got Any sources that would prove the opposite or merge the two ideas?

thanks Chris. Btw, I Love the podcast with Seth and Asaf.

<p style=”direction: ltr;”>Ah ok yes. Well the best way to answer would be from the ‘zoomed out’ approach where you have to ask what did the Creator create? Once you realize He created only one thing–the will to receive–and then ask, why? The reason being that He wanted to “do good to His creating beings” that wouldn’t omit any part of creation.</p>
The difference you’re asking about is simply a matter of perspective. Within each one of us there is the ability to develop the soul, otherwise there would not be a way to reveal “His goodness”.  Why is the Jew singled out here? Because the work of the Jew is different, as you by now know. It’s the difference in the root of this soul–what the role is. The entire creature depends on the work of Israel which is why Israel judges the world to a scale of merit or not.
