Join Gil Shir for this session of Kabbalah Explained Simply to get answers to your most burning questions about Kabbalah and Spirituality.

The wisdom of Kabbalah lets us ask life’s deepest questions and feel the intimate and profound fulfillment from the attainment of their answers.

What is the power of prayer? A prayer is a sincere need for help from a higher power that ripens in us, and when this desire is ready, it ascends from the lowest depths of creation to the height of reality—the Creator.

What is prayer according to Kabbalah? We are born and raised in a self-centered perception and sensation of the world, which leads to an accumulation of problems in our lives. Our encounter with all kinds of problems is in order to give us a desire to rise above our current perception and sensation, and discover a new world, one of love, care, and positive connection among everyone.

We all live in the collective consciousness. However, rising above our unconsciousness and perceiving the collective consciousness depends on how much we actively participate with such consciousness.

Free will is fundamental to our lives. Questions such as, “Do we have free will?” and “If we have freedom of will, where exactly do we have it?” have been asked throughout history, and even if we have reached conclusions that we have no free will, deep down, we believe that we do.

Does nature control, or are we in control? The nature vs. nurture debate has existed for generations, and at the heart of the discourse is the question about our free will.

Why does the Zohar have a stronger power than any other Kabbalistic book?

The Zohar describes the spiritual world, i.e. the desires, intentions and actions of the created being when in contact with the Creator.
Since we exist in an opposite corporeal reality, we cannot understand a single word about the spiritual world.
