Hi, please correct me if I’m wrong; we cannot see the creator, dressed in flashes of light or something near to that, but when we start to go up the worlds, climbing the worlds through the Ladder of love, by using all the love we can feel towards others, we start to sense something inside very special, something like a revelation of godness, something which transcend humanness or our normal lives. Ok?
Hi, nice to meet you. I have a question.
When I see myself in the mirror, I see me or an externality of me, the others?
I have a question that’s been popping up as I have gone through all of the lessons and all of the readings and other videos. I’m understanding that everything in Kabbalah is not corporeal, but relates to the upper worlds. I am also understanding that everything in this world has it’s spiritual root and the Zohar and other kabbalistic texts use the language of roots and branches so that they clothe the references to the spiritual matters/roots in corporeal words like metaphors. (On a side note, I also love that Hebrew words all have a shoresh/root as well and then their other expressions- nouns, verbs, tenses, etc and these studies bring that new meaning for me too!). Anyway, then I am also understanding that as a Kabbalist or one that at least strives to study Kabbalah would look at their life in the same manner where things that happen to them or extreme circumstances correspond to a spiritual root which can be contemplated from the Kabbalistic texts like the Zohar and an internal correction can be made in oneself, not through corporeal means, but by addressing the root that is removed from corporeal things. Is this correct so far? Or on the right track? Can we see circumstances as indications or reference points/hints given to us by the Creator? And then I have a specific question- Is there a place in RABASH’s writings/articles and also in the Zohar (a section) that talk about the spiritual root of Infidelity in marriage? I have seen it where they talk about the Priest’s daughter, but is there a section that talks about Infidelity of a husband towards his wife? (and I know that this is not corporeal, but referring to spiritual states and not anything in this physical world). I would like to read this if you can let me know these sections. Thank you 🙂
Hi Inbar,
Everything is arranged so that we would not be able to know the Upper World by any signs in our world. We only see the results, without any inkling as to why things are happening. In fact, our reasoning about them is all wrong. There’s a future goal that is sending them to us so we’d end up at that future state, while we would like things to be different because they don’t align with our own wishes. What we need is to align with the Upper Force, to become similar to it. Then we will agree that everything it does is perfection. We’ll truly feel this and be joyful every day that now we’re closer to the goal of Creation.
Likewise, we can’t learn from the Zohar, for example, something about romantic relationships. Because the Zohar toward those relationships is as I might be toward, say, the relationship between two cows in a pasture. It’s only concerned with our relationship to the Upper Force, in which correction is all possible goodness.
Of course, the reason for infidelity is straightforward: egoism.
Thank you so much for your answer. Yes I was looking at it like this- If I see things and experience things in the world outside of me, like infidelity, besides taking care of the issue in a corporeal way and going on with my corporeal life, on a spiritual level, is it correct to see it as an indication of a piece of my own ego being clothed outside of ourselves so that we can correct an egoic aspect within ourselves separate from the outside event and with no expectation of it impacting the outside event what so ever? Just as a lesson for our own personal development?
Without thinking too much about it, I should relate everything as coming from the Creator WHILE treating each one in my life as they deserve according to the regular laws of our reality. It’s not that I forgive people or give to people BECAUSE the Creator does everything. I relate to them as if there’s no Kabbalah WHILE internally I accept that everything comes from the Upper Force and that He is Good and Does Good.
