Is our defining characteristic the ability to speak or our reason or?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Our physical characteristics? Speaking certainly does define this, but it comes from the spiritual root. It’s “speaking” because this is the expression of our inner state where we want to be similar to the Creator.

Is it more correct to label it tsimtsum than tzimtzum?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

I believe our translation uses ‘z’.

[Brad]

If suffering or punishment in kabbalah is the gap between our desires and fulfilment, what about physical pain?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Yeah, the same. The desire is to not feel physical pain and when you do feel it, the desire to not feel physical pain is unfulfilled.

How does kabbalah view celebrities, people are taking sides with them now kinda  like politics. Kane west for example. There is the idea that all celebrities sell their soul and become puppets for fame, illuminati Freemasons etc. so, now he is appearing to be a hero by rebelling against Hollywood, he is appearing like a hero now, exposing them, and we know he has blamed jews, stirring hate, and he himself is against the creator, calling himself jesus or god, and apparently he is starting his own porn industry,  how would you explain to someone that no he is not a hero or a good person to someone who thinks he is?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

I don’t think there’s any reason to explain anything to anyone really. Kabbalah shouldn’t really be used as a kind of “talking point” imo. I mean, of course there can be “x” event in the world and there could be how Kabbalah would interpret that; how does it play into the program of creation? What forces are at work? etc..

You’ve been around a while and as many times as I’ve sure you’ve heard, “None Else Besides Him” it’s still difficult to see when our eyes tell a different story.

Is the world mathematically precise and rationally reasonable?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Mathematics are a kind of “descriptor” of what’s going on in our physical reality. It’s another language to describe what’s going on–a set of certain laws that exist.

[Joel]

Question about “causes” in first video:

Are causes considered part of karma? Does D Kabbalah believe we answer to Karma?

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Joel, regarding Karma….Kabbalah does not subscribe to the concept of “karma” as understood in other faiths/methods/religions. Instead, it explains that each person can influence their fate not through karmic actions but by correcting our nature to align with the program of nature. Kabbalah teaches that our actions within the framework of spiritual development, especially those aimed at unity, can positively or negatively influence our lives. If we align ourselves with the unifying force of nature, we experience positive influences; if not, it’s the opposite.

Thanks!

[Joel]

I am going back to first preparatory video which talks about everything we see has a spiritual cause. Does things like the war in Israel that is going on now have a spiritual cause that we cannot see? Like I said before there are a lot of new concepts I am trying to understand so I hope my questions are okay.

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Hey Joel,

Great questions, no worries.

Everything that happens in the physical world is a manifestation of spiritual forces. This includes wars and conflicts which are viewed as outcomes stemming from spiritual root causes. When people and nations do not correct themselves spiritually, it manifests as physical conflicts.

Chris
