I have too be honest here. I have an attraction and repulsion with Kabbalah. I have been studying or been exposed to it I belive 8 or 9 years or so now. I’m really interested about it, really really a lot and it has been a huge help in my understanding of life. Problem is that I can’t pass Young Group, I have been there two times and quit for various different reasons, example that I don’t speak English well even if I write right it all right and I easily understand it but something is telling me to quit. Am I just too big egoist? Because that´s how I feel it.
If you can still enjoy something else, go ahead. There’s a certain law over reality that ensures each one will complete that experiment, understanding that there is a law over them, imposing this correction of each one’s soul, and there’s nothing to do about it. The good future lies ahead; the suffering is coming from behind. Between these is a person’s only choice.
The overthinking part is very scientist and rational. There’s nothing wrong, but it does make it harder to navigate reality. That’s why kabbalah triggered my ego over and over. I was wondering, why do we have to learn these complicated Hebrew words? Why should we stick with words that most cannot relate to.
Then asking the question is answering it. I could give an answer, but I realize that it’s better to let people find them for themselves.
How does one know when they’ve ascended to a specific degree in the spiritual world? Are you able to enter in and out of the spiritual world on demand? What does that look like? Those of you who have been practicing for years, what is that you’re experiencing that informs you beyond a shadow of a doubt the truth of Kabbalah?
That’s a good question and also a famous question, one that every new student has and which Kabbalists never answer. My teacher asked something like that of Rabash, and Rabash just said, “you won’t get any insurance policy here. But go and search elsewhere.” How does a Kabbalist know what degree he is on, I also can’t answer because he knows by even surer terms than one knows where he is now, that I exist in this world. In what world do you exist? Where is this world you exist in? What is it exactly? Why? What’s it FOR? We don’t know. We don’t know where we are or what we are? And a Kabbalist does, learns what this world is, what he is, was, and will be.
In the last Great Transition live, we speak about a 6th sense that humanity has to develop, for a connection. I asked what would that 6th sense be named?
Seth gave a very good explanation.
I made a little more research and I found the quality: Daʿat (דעת).
This means, humanity is indeed developing that 6th sense through many channels. Kabbalah brings the science behind all this.
All this is very complex, and I just keep coming back to the same answer: Learn more Hebrew and Kabbalah.
So this means we have all the answers. I just feel gratitude for your work 🙏 Thank you.
During a meditation last week, I had what I believe was a “point in the heart” experience. Although is it wrong that Jesus was the one who gifted it to me? This made me think about the passage, “No one comes to the Father except through me,” which I had never really understood/accepted until this recent experience.
I’ve been reflecting on how our spiritual upbringing might shape the way we experience Kabbalah. Since Kabbalah is often described as a spiritual science, could it be that the faith tradition we were raised in, even if we don’t actively practice will affect our Kabbalah experience?
Baal HaSulam says that spirituality is a reality like going to London. One can say what he saw there, for example Big Ben. Centuries later, one who never met the first one can add on, that Big Ben is gold. The first one saw that it was gold but felt no need to write it down. This way, Kabbalists across the generations write about the same upper world. It’s something not personal or flexible but rock-hard, like our world; only it’s another world, an upper world. Regardless of one’s background before he opens this world up, he reveals the same world.
If in our original state of unity with the creator it was “good” and we in perfect one-ness, what was the need to have us be separated for the sake of giving us independence? Why make us go through the shattering and the suffering just for us to make our way back to the original state? What is the value of us having that independence/that conscious choice? Would it not be better to have kept things that way in a state of ignorance and bliss? Also if the creator is a force and not a personal god, why do we say that it has a “master plan” – the way a person or a primitive God has plans?
He is a force, and you are also a force, or a collection of forces that imagines that it is free. He’s not a ‘dumb’ force like we think about gravity, for example. He is more than us and all of us put together. A different kind of force. We’re in a reality consisting of nothing besides forces, and He includes all of them. He is, in the end, the only one acting. Through a more correct lens, we’d see there is no one in the world – because to live means to be free and here there are only complete marionettes.
It is said that all this reality was just an ‘adornment’. The Creator didn’t need it. But a decision was made that we need it, and, that it was all worth it. And now, our work is easy. It’s said that the Creator made man straight, but he preferred circuitous ways. We make it hard by not wanting to be corrected right away, but prefer anything besides coming to correction.
First, we have to say to ourselves that “there is none else besides Him,” the Creator did, does, and will do everything, and there are no people in this world who have free choice of their own. There is only an imagination of free choice. You don’t have free choice, they didn’t have free choice. Rather, the whole reality is how the Creator behaves toward you alone. That’s the way it really is. First, this needs to be accepted in you. Next, you behave toward the situation as is generally accepted as appropriate in society. If someone did something you usually sue for, I sue them – and so on. But inside, I relate as if all is done by the Creator.
