Second question:

In the book; A guide to the hidden wisdom of kabbalah, page 46, says:

“What you do doesn’t matter, only what you aim to achieve by it”

Slavery, they made human beings slaves, as free laborers to build themselves a better future in all history.

Hamed,

This is just the manifestation of the human ego that wishes to control others. We can only measure benefit or harm according to the purpose of creation.

Until we consciously enter the process of correction, all of our actions are purely expressions of the ego. And we must aim to reach bestowal and love, which is opposite our natural egoistic inclination to control others.

<p data-select-link-text=”1″>If everything is predetermined and planned by the creator “even my next lunch”, sin becomes meaningless. I was watching a webinar of Dr. Laitman and when a lady raised her hand to ask a question, Dr. Laitman said it wasn’t you who raised your hand, it was the creator!</p>
Is kabbalah saying that all the evil doings comes from God, such as murder, rape, betrayal etc? did God killed millions of Jews in WW-ll?

I know kabbalah recognize egoism as evil, yet according to kabbalah the source of that egoism is God himself, he made us with a will to receive, so God is to blame?

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

The wisdom of Kabbalah says that there is none else besides Him, besides this there is only the point of recognition of the person. This means that everything comes from the Creator, and what we receive is only pleasure.

However, because of our uncorrected vessels, we cannot correctly relate to what we receive from the Creator. For this reason, on the path of correction, we discover things that we do not understand and cannot justify.

The advice is to continue, and gradually, step by step, a person will reveal the true reality and begin to understand why everything happens and how this whole corporeal reality is merely a means to attain the spiritual reality.

Only by rising to the spiritual perception of reality can we truly understand this corporeal reality and it’s purpose.

Moreover, the Kabbalists say that this entire corporeal reality is merely an illusion. That doesn’t mean that we should disregard our current perception, but it does mean that eventually we will discover that our previous understanding was not aligned with the true reality.

[Hamed T]

But you didn’t answer my question!

I’m not asking how a person perceives the world around him, I’m asking about Kabbalah philosophy about sin and free will.

How can murder, adultery, lying etc. considered a sin when you have no free will?

 

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Hamed,

According to Kabbalah, the only sin is not attributing something to the Creator, meaning that there is some other external force that acts besides Creator. Regarding humanity, there is no sin because they are completely governed by the Creator.

[Hamed T]

“Regarding humanity, there is no sin because they are completely governed by the Creator.”

How do you expect me (or anyone) to believe that God is the source of evil doings in our world?

I understand that “the egoism” is the main cause, but when you say it is -completely- governed by the creator and -we have no free will- it suggest that EVERYTHING, good and evil is coming from God. now you may answer that we don’t know the “wisdom” behind the God’s acts but yet again I refuse to believe God is evil. he can and will do whatever he sees fit by only good causes not for example by war!

“There is none good but one, that is, God.”

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Hamed,

Don’t believe it. Don’t believe anything. You should try to attain the true reality in your own perception. This is done by systematic studying of the authentic books of Kabbalah.

Kabbalists describe reality according to two principles:

1) There Is None Else Besides Him

2) He’s the Good that Does Good

This means that only the Creator acts, and His actions are only according to what is good for us. Not according to the body but for the soul.

Of course, there is a vast difference between our perception and that of the Kabbalists. About this it is said there is none as wise as the experienced.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Should we not feel bad at our shortcomings/negative attributes because it is created/preordained in the beginning by God..?</p>

[Joseph – KabU Instructor]

Hi Mrc,

There are no shortcomings when it comes to spirituality. Everyone begins from the same point and has the opportunity to fully attain the Creator according to the root of their soul. This doesn’t depend on one’s corporeal qualities and attributes, but on the efforts a person makes to build for themselves an environment that will influence them with the importance of the goal.

This is a statement, question, epiphany, and fear.

It took me 2 days to process my experience and this is what I deducted.

…………………………………

I was a little confused with the process of the graduate forum. So, I signed into a “workshop” which I was not prepare to undertake.

What I deducted from my inner self was quite frightening.

I saw myself! With all the ugly details and ego.

Of course I ran to hide from the world and myself…..

So, the questions….

Does everyone come to this realization?

If so, how does one push through?

For me pushing through my ego is quite shameful and embarrassing. This ego that lives within has a name: PTSD, the beast.  It fights others with words to maintain it’s survival.

How does Kabu or does it…deal with this type of behavior?

I see my truth on the other side of the veil, but have never had anyone to stand with me as I push through…and I’ve always given myself an excuse to be a victim.

So, AGAIN I am at this crossroad.

How does one shed an Ego that is BIGGER than life itself. One that fights viciously to stay Alive?

Because it is clear to me that I am at a place of change or go home and I prefer not to go home!

Thanks

Accidentally submited

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hi Beverly,

Everyone has different flavors along the way, but of course the common discernment is that the ego certainly rules us and aims us only towards ourselves all the time. This is kind of a general statement, but truly this is all you need in order to ask for correction. As long as your in an environment that will help you “find your footing” you’ll see where you need to put the effort. The effort is never against the ego since we are certainly powerless against it.

It’s not about shedding the ego like you mentioned, but more correctly it’s using the ego correctly. When the Creator reveals your nature to you, what do you do? If you get rid of it, you have no need for the Creator…

Thanks!

[Beverly]

Hey Chris,

That helps clear up some aspects. Still vague, but certainly better. My ego is a drama queen…lol

[semsem Ali]

I m not only look for another life lens, I actually started feeling or getting some sensations,I don’t know may I m in illusion and not real, but you say that you haven’t to study this science alone so If I start feeling the oness as a hint If I started feeling the inner of our physical bodies analyzing it scrutinizing it, is this possible are those sensation come to me real? Pls urgent answer

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Semsem,

There are many feelings and sensations and sudden moments of clarity that often come on the path, but it’s easy to be swept by these into our own thoughts and desires to receive for ourselves which of course is only the ego, distancing us from the goal, even though in our imagination it seems as if we’re coming closer.

We’ll receive these little awakenings but it’s important to aim them correctly. The best advice would be to go and read something from the sources which will aim you correctly.

Thanks!

Chris

[humehr garivani]

hello

meditation on sefirot’s must be start from first sefirot (keter) or from malakhut?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hi Humehr,

The method of Kabbalah does not include meditation so there’s no real answer for you here.

Thanks!

Chris
