Hello,
How the barrier between our world and upper worlds is called in Hebrew ?
Thank you very much, I appreciate the lessons of Kabbalah very much !
Thank you, Seth. You are wisdom and I am learning. However, I do not think I expressed myself correctly. I do care and love all children. Living in Puebla City, in my comings and goings, in the late evenings, I would come across a child from six years old to 11 or 12 years old on the steps of a building entrance covered with newspaper because it was a cold evening. I would stop and ask if I could help. The response was always a “yes.” I would take the child home. I would ask the child to take a warm shower. I would have clean clothes for the child and a warm dinner. The child would spend the night on a bed I always had extra. I would wait until breakfast the next morning to ask the child why he had run away from home. He would tell me. It was usually because the father’s, a farmer, crops would fail. He would get drunk with the little money from the crops and would take it out on the child by beating him. I asked that if I could help, would he accept for me to take back home. The answer was always yes. I had a friend who was a doctor. He would give me medicine and vitamins to give to the mother and I would give the mother money. After speaking to the father and assuring him that I would continue helping, he would agree to stop beating the child. All children are precious to me. When I pray, I ask Hashem to protect all the children around the world as well as the mothers. I do care Seth about the neighbor’s children and children all around the world given the world we live in with all the violence. This does not mean that I think I am special. I am not. I exist on the egoistic world. I understand this and this is why I am taking this course. I just did not ask the right question and did not express what I truly wanted to express. However, within your response, I think I a ready, although at an old age, to learn the wisdom of Kabbalah in its entirety. Shalom
I find it interesting that the lessons of mystical schools which are heavily kabbalahistically influenced, all teach the “death of self” but I believe this to mean the not wishing to receive for the sake of ego. The “death of ego” being the beginning of the will to bestow. Also Christ’s teachings of “sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor” seems to be a radical idea until viewed in this light of will to bestow.
I am struggling with what feels like the notion that in order to attain a ‘higher’ reality, we must transcend / come out of the body. This principle feels like it may be separating body from divinity/ Creator and feels like a masculine principle (masculine transcends/ feminine descends). Through the teachings of Kabbalah, does the body hold wisdom/ access point to the Divine?
Aliona,
All of these feelings are coming to you from nature/God and now we need to arrange our hearts and minds and work with these forces. It’s like fire and water, it can keep us warm and nurture us or it can burn, flood and destroy…the exact same forces, it is how we work with them correctly.
Everyone who is paying attention and is sensitive feels that we are not fully at home in our bodies. This is on purpose, our soul is not made of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus like our body is. Our soul is not material, it is something eternal. However specifically by being in this world, in these bodies we have the opportunity to begin to measure eternity.
What do I mean by that?
Well if we are light, immersed in light, then there is no feeling of ourselves or feeling the light itself…like a drop of water feeling itself in the ocean.
So by the descent of the souls and the shattering, now, from this vantage point, we can begin to feel measure where the light is, what it is, what real love is..or could be, as we measure it as opposite from what we feel now as a limited world filled with wars and emptiness, etc.
Regarding the masculine/feminine, we must remember that in the spiritual work all of these forces exist inside of a person.
There is much more to open up in your question and we will have time to talk about everything. In short, the bestowing force is referred to as male and the receiving vessel where that light dwells is called the female force. Both of these are in each person and when we speak in the wisdom of kabbalah, we are not talking about spiritual qualities, not gender or something earthly.

Carl,
Just like a sperm contains the whole man, but in potential.
The point in the heart is like a spiritual sperm. It is the seed of your soul that if it is planted in the right womb, the right environment it will be able to develop all of the NRNHY (the five parts of the soul, Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya and Yechida). And the soul is a part of the Light of the Creator.
