If everything that happens in our world is as a result of spiritual force acting upon it, why does the level of suffering in this world have to be so severe? For the example, the suffering that involve children who are the most innocent and vulnerable in our society. Is this also coming from the Creator or is it a reflection of the level of egoism into which mankind has fallen?
Hi Brenda,
We learn from the Kabbalists that every single moment comes to us directly from the Creator, this is called “there is none else besides Him”. Furthermore, they also say that He is the “good that does good”. Meaning that every moment He is sending us nothing but goodness. But why then don’t we see this in our world? Why do we see so much suffering and problems in the world?
This is because our world is governed by our egoistic nature. This egoistic nature is opposite to the Creator’s nature. Because of that, it inverts the Creator’s goodness into something bad. It’s just like multiplying numbers: a positive times a negative equals negative.
So as long as we remain within this egoistic nature, we will continue to see and feel more suffering and bad things in the world. But if we correct our nature to be similar to the Creator’s nature, then we will reveal the true reality in which only goodness exists, and our previous egoistic state would appear as nothing more than a dream.

Hi Albert,
How is Kabbalah not a mysticism when by definition mysticism is “a pursuit of a direct, intimate union or experience of the divine, or ultimate reality. It involves accessing hidden spiritual truths beyond normal human perception, often focused on inner transformation and experiencing unity rather than just theological doctrine.” Isn’t the Kabbalah all that? And if scientific methods were used in creating the books, then why not call Kabbalah the scientific mysticism?
Hi Alexia,
I cannot comment on how others define this word, but when we use the word mysticism, we are referring to something mystical, something removed from reality, something that does not follow the laws of nature. So when we make the distinction that Kabbalah is not mysticism, this is because Kabbalah is very much so grounded into nature. Kabbalah researches nature and the laws of nature using a very strict scientific method: “a judge has only what his eyes can see” and “what we do not attain we do not call by name”.
Even our knowledge of the Creator is limited to our research tools, meaning the desire. And whatever does not enter into this desire, we cannot research or talk about. For these reasons, it’s more accurate to classify Kabbalah as a science.

Regarding the year 1995 when it was said the Kabbalah was made available to us, the lay person, were there any significant events that led up to this reveal?
Hi Annie,
Yes, Rav Laitman wrote about it in one of his blog posts, here’s an excerpt:
“Question: You said that 1995 was the starting point of the current events. What happened in 1995 that you are referring to?
My Answer: I felt this because suddenly, the students that started coming to study with me were different: They were serious, diligent, and persistent in their pursuit of the goal. Today they still make up the core of the worldwide Bnei Baruch group. Of course, there were also inner changes that are concealed from the average onlooker – a clearer revelation of new spiritual forces in the world.”

There is 5 levels of Spiritual worlds.
So my question is does this 5 levels are connected with 5 levels of the soul?
Text sed that there were durning away from Kabbalah to philosophy.As l understand all religions are based on philosophy, mysticism,humanism etc,but still consist spiritual knowledge.
Did the Greator personally intervene and mix in Kabbalah wisdom so that the people would have the will to return back to Greator?
Hi Anu,
1. Yes the 5 spiritual worlds are connected with the 5 levels of the soul.
2. Kabbalah is not a philosophy or a religion, it’s a practical scientific method based on the research of the Kabbalists.

Could you explain more about the connection between the ‘Roots’ in the Upper World and the ‘Branches’ in our world?
Hi Olqama,
The spiritual world is the root of our corporeal world. Meaning that everything that happens in this world is a result of the spiritual forces acting upon it. As such, by connecting to that spiritual root, a Kabbalist can understand why things are the way they are in this world, how these forces shaped our reality in the past, and what awaits us in the future.

On the topic of realising our egoistc nature is the root of all evil in this world and actually seeing that in a real life situation, how do we go from there, beacuse if we need to see the detruction our ego causes how do we heal and trasnform to a new state of being that is more loving so we dont have to go through it again? And how do we heal the situation we hurt, for example trust, safety, honour? i hurt somebody and i want to restore the connection and trust so they will feel safe again, and I also realease i need to change… but how
Because i see that my egos desire is selfish and even when i understand that its way is wrong i cant resist it it seems, i mean gradually yes iahve but not enough it seems. Im starting to feel a need for a permanaent change because i dont want to ruin my the situation im trying to build in life and maybe thats even from the ego but i am desperate to grow now, im seriosly done with this chaper of my life.
I dont know if its good that i feel helpless because i know that its only Hashem that could ” fix me”
Hi Yeabsera,
It’s indeed good to feel how much we need the Creator’s help. The system is such that without His help, it’s impossible to succeed. This is because our very nature is egoistic. Just like a PC cannot just reprogram itself to run as a Mac, we too cannot just change our own nature. We need outside help for this.
This help comes to us from the light. It’s a special force that has the ability to change our nature. Our work boils down to extracting more and more of this light, especially through the Kabbalistic studies, and it does all the rest.
