Curiously, if the Creator is Light, why do use terminology that refers to Him as a person and specifically male?
Hi Carla,
In spirituality, the force of bestowal is a male force while the force of receiving is a female force. This is why we call the Creator Him. But these are just technical terms, similar to how in electronics we call the plug the male part while the socket is the female part.
Interestingly enough, because our nature is the desire to receive, all of humanity is considered a female in relation to the Creator who is the bestower.

Hi Derek,
In general, you can say that, but there are different nuances behind each word.
Torah comes from the Hebrew word “ohr”, light. But it’s more so the system through which we extract the light in order correct our egoistic nature.
And when we use the word light, we’re talking about the force that is opposite the desire. All that was created was the desire to receive pleasure. The force that created this desire and fulfills it is the light. So the light is the Creator, the pure quality of bestowal. We can also say that light = pleasure, since this is what fulfills that desire.

Can we walk on the path of light and yet suffer from physical illnesses? Or? (I was thinking of the path of pain?)
Hi Annililia,
Yes, it’s possible. This is because our health is not always the result of our own actions, rather it’s often a reflection of the society and environment that we live in. This follows what we learned that all of humanity is completely interconnected, like cells within a single body. So even if there are a few healthy cells out there, if the body as a whole is sick, those healthy cells as well would feel it.

I would like to take the opportunity to, Thank Tony and all the Friends at KabU for the classes that have been made available.
I have walked away from Religion, due to the conflicting information that Religion teachs. For years, I have been confused, due to the Conflicting information, which made it hard to develop my Kabbalah studies. Having now dealt with this issue, things are now making far more sense.
Hi Mark,
It’s not the intellectual learning itself. After all, we can upload all of the Kabbalistic books onto a computer, but the computer won’t change as a result of this. Rather the Kabbalistic study is a means by which we can extract the light. It’s ultimately this special force that is called the light that takes us out of the path of suffering onto the path of light.
