Hi Fawnette,
The answer to your question is found in understanding the language of the kabbalists.
A kabbalist is one who attained spiritual degrees and they write to us about what they attained.
They couldn’t say, “98eafjq4rp8uefj”. That would make no sense, so they use words of our world, they mapped from the spiritual world as the root down through the worlds to this world, so when they use a word from this world, they are “pointing to a spiritual object”, meaning talking about it’s upper root, not about the object of this world. Kabbalists don’t write about this world, they write about phenomenon they attained in the spiritual worlds.What they discovered is that everything emenates from one single, unified source that bestows life, love endlessly.
As soon as there is a creature who will one day attain that sublime degree, so for the creature, everything is measured, there is no one, single unity. We have a head and arms, the Creator doesn’t have a head and arms, in the Creator everything is one. For us we have our childhood, our current life and our future life. The Creator is beyond time, there is no past, present and future.So all the names are measurements for us as we approach the Upper degrees.
Below the single unity, in the perception of the creatures, all of reality is operated by two forces, light and dark, up and down, in and out, etc.
So when it comes to language, the male force is referred to as the giving force and the female is referred to as the receiving force. This is not an issue of gender or sex although a simple examination of sex and it’s obvious. The Creator is the giving force, He gives life and everything and all of creation, meaning every person, every beautiful bird, every star, all of creation which is a vessel that needs to be filled with life to exist is called female in relation to the Creator and all of life and all of our history is the story of the relationship and reunification bbetween those two forces until the end of correction when they are one together again.

Hi. I am very new to Kabbalah and understand the meaning. What are some of things that I should eliminate so I can better perceive the greater reality ?
Brenda,
Welcome. The most important thing now in your study is to make your spiritual goal as big as possible in your heart.
This will give you the fuel you need to make it on this journey.
Read the material, watch the videos, write in your journal about what you are discovering and what your biggest desire for spirituality can be.

I am curious about the four worlds, what are they besides ratios between a will to receive and a will to bestow? Also the 125 steps we descended seems like such an exact number of steps… to derive from a spiritual world where how close or how far is only measured by equivalence of form vs its disparity. Why not just say that we through shattering we have lost equivalence of form with our creator? Why the 4 worlds and 125 steps, such exact math, which seems only relevant in our corporal world?
Alexia,
From the side of the Creator, everything is one simple unity.
We are opposite from that, everything is measure..yesterday, tomorrow, up and down, in and out, right and left, hot and cold.
All of this is for us to measure where we are and from that deduce where He is.
All of the numbers in the wisdom of kabbalah are qualitative discernments, not quantities as in some number of things that we can count.
125 steps refers to 5 partzufim in 5 sefirot in 5 worlds. 5x5x5=125 but what does all of this mean, it is a full structure in a full degree of completeness.

One of the things that often keeps me from total bestowal is a need to protect myself when under attack, either physically or psychologically? This question is both, on a personal level and on a bigger scale between nations?
Alexia,
This is a confusion.
You can breathe and also juggle or write a book, it’s on two different levels.
On the level of the body you do what you need to do to keep the body healthy and also you develop life on a spiritual degree where you make spiritual actions above the body called bestowal.

In Buddism the bais is , Life is Suffering, you suffer cus you have desire, you are born again and again cus you have desire. you get rid of desire and u attain nirvana, your not born again so you dont suffer.
why he said life is suffering has alot of points to it , the main ones are, you are born you suffer as a child after your born till you grow up a bit, you get sick , everyone will gets sick cant avoid that so you suffer, then you will get old so you suffer old age and then death the manner of death and the death of those around you. these are the main ones then there is the general suffering that comes from just living, environment hazards and suffering caused by other humans.My dog got a nasty fit 4 days ago, and its bad she is a shell of what she use to be and watching her makes me feels really sad, I had this thought, if the creator didn’t have Desire to give, then non of this will happen there wont be an existence where souls have to go though suffering learn the truth and go back to creator.
So in away, suffering is caused by Desire according to Buddha, so if the creator didn’t have the desire to give, then we wont be here suffering.
what do you think about this ?ps – If I was asked by the creator , hey you wanna go all the way down and come back to me? its gonna be a tough ride back thou. I will say……nope, I’m good. thank you, Il chill here with you. 😀
Migara,
Against our will we were born and against our will we will die. You’re right, if we added all the good in our life on one side of the scale and all the bad on the other side of the scale, we would admit, it’s probably better not being born at all.
The wisdom of kabbalah is a much different method than the methods of the East (and the West for that matter). As you mentioned, in Buddhism desire is the source of suffering, so the solution is to limit desire.
In the wisdom of kabbalah, we learn that the only thing that the Creator created is the desire and our work is to increase this desire to be endless so that in it we can receive His endless light.
It’s impossible to say that any negative thing comes from a perfect Operator, so we are left to understand that any suffering is due to our appositeness from Him.
So let’s get to work and cross that chasm and reunite and we will see a reality filled with love and all good.
