Is individuality an illusion?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

David,
If you ask the scientific community, reality itself is an illusion.  Even if you do a study on let’s say vision, you’ll learn that what we see is largely  created by the brain, rather than a direct representation of reality. But more than that, we are constructing reality outside of us based on our desire.  We will learn a lot more about this later.
In short the answer to your question is yes, however, we have to live day to day according to what we see.
Live according to what we see and simultaneously start building a new perception based the reality that the kabbalists attained and describe in their books.  And then while we make efforts to bridge the gap, what we are doing is actually building the new spiritual senses to perceive the single, unified reality and with those senses you will sense that everything is connected and you will feel all the threads connecting reality together, but your eyes will always see what eyes see and your hands will feel what hands feel.
Spiritual senses and physical senses are two different systems and they are designed this way on purpose that specifically through one system we can come to know the other.

“That is, he must not think that there is the force of the Sitra
Achra (Other Side), which does not allow a person to do good
deeds and follow God’s ways. Rather, all is done by the Creator.”

This makes me think of satan or the opponent.  I believe this means the opponent is a tool of the Creator himself to give us challenges to overcome and depend on the Creator for help in drawing near.    Am I off in this thinking?

David,

There are endless forces, even gravity which causes a person to fall and miss buying the winning lottery ticket.
So it doesn’t matter which force, satan or gravity or any other one.  The point of the excerpt is that behind it all there is one governing force.

I still haven’t understood how to use Kabbalah in my daily practice. What should I do with my physical desires? Should I restrict common desires like eating?

[Seth – KabU Instructor]

Renata,

Nope. Now only make spirituality so important that the other desires aren’t as important. You don’t need to fight your desire to play with dolls. Your desire developed and now as an adult other things are more important. Same scenario.

After watching this video, then we come to an understanding that Creator is the center for everything, as the light that sustain everything emanates from Him.

I have seen a change in my perception and then back again to a seeming standard state. but something is different in the end because I wouldn’t be upset now by not know something previously if it hadn’t changed my perception, which still feels like reverting back to a state of typical awareness or perception.

[Deborah Joplin]

Hi Seth,

My perceptions need to grow and change. I have always thought of the things that happen, that are by human perception “bad” events, as things that the Creator allows because we choose the path of pain —“the school of hard knocks”— because we are immature and our ego rules us. We know what God wants us to do, but we choose not to do it.

So, my question now is: if God is the only force acting in all of Creation, then we must think of Him as the Creator of all of man’s actions, and situations that man must face. He brings a Holocaust or any of the other atrocities we can see acting in the world. I know that God’s desire is to bring us back into adherence to Him, and being Omniscient, He knows what is required to make that happen. But, as one who has studied the scriptures for many years, the atrocities are difficult to attribute to our perfectly loving Father. In the book of Job, Satan is introduced as one who is allowed to “sift” Job. Is our Creator actually the force that performed this sifting?

P.S. How do I know when you have answered?

Sincerely,

Deborah — Truly Seeking — Calling Out to God to help me.

Deborah,
I had previously missed your question.
You can click SUBSCRIBE on the top right of this forum and get updated when there is a post here, so you can see when your questions are answered.
The question are asking bothers all of those who ask this question that is difficult to understand.
It is impossible to explain things in a way that we can feel that such atrocities are somehow justified towards a better good.
But the wisdom of kabbalah is very practical.
We can at least see and feel these events as a measuring stick to feel just how far we are from a good life for everyone.
Imagine that we are very thirsty but try to drink from a fire hydrant.  We would injure ourselves as the pressure of the much needed water is much too strong for our soft face, we may even choke or worse.
There is an abundance of good waiting for us to arrange ourselves so that the good that is coming to us can settle in us in a calm and good way, otherwise the forces of nature will rush forward pushing and kicking us from behind as it rolls.
