      Hello instructors

      Who was Jesus really?

      • #296480

        Hi Melanie,

        Kabbalistic writings don’t talk about Jesus. So we could speculate one way or another about who he was and whether he was a Kabbalist or not, but these would just be speculations. We should keep in mind that Kabbalah is a science. Kabbalah only deals with the correction of our egoistic nature and the revelation of the Creator. It has no connection to faith, religion, or religious leaders.

        But ultimately these things are not so opposed. Both talk about the importance of loving others as yourself. Kabbalah goes even further and gives us a method to actualize loving others to such an extent that we can reveal in our lives the Creator, the general force of love and bestowal.

      Hello,

      ‘Something inside of me’ has ‘impelled’ me to start learning Hebrew as I am embarking on this journey.

      Can learning Hebrew be of any benefit at all to better understand the wisdom of Kabbalah?

      Thank you.

        Hi PVJ,

        Knowing Hebrew is helpful, but you don’t really need to learn Hebrew to study Kabbalah. All of our materials are professionally translated to English and many other languages.

        But does the translation pass the full spiritual meaning? No. Hebrew is a language built for passing spiritual meaning, not just the meaning of the words, but every single letter and shape of the letter is a code for a spiritual state. So any translation is good but it will never give you 100% of the true spiritual meaning, it’s impossible.

        So how big is the loss? For a person who is not yet in spirituality, the loss is very very small, even minuscule. In fact we have thousands of students worldwide studying with us on a daily basis, in a language other than Hebrew. Whenever Rav Laitman visits these groups, he always remarks how there is no difference in the spiritual advancement between these students and the students in front of him (all Hebrew speakers) that he studies with daily. This is because spirituality does not depend on knowledge but only on the desire. If we build the right desire for spirituality, we will feel it, if not, then no.

        If you want an in depth explanation of the significance of the Hebrew language, check out this article. The ties between letters, words, and numbers:

          Thank you very much, Albert.
          I totally understand. Hebrew is a fascinating language. I will continue learning it, not necessarily with the aim of becoming a fluent speaker, but rather to uncover some truths lying behind the letters — and hence (maybe) to better commune with the laws of Nature.
          Warm regards,
          PVJ

      Transcending time and space is my dream for this lifetime.  That is the only thing I want.

      Why are more people not interested in spirituality?

      • #296444

        Hi Robert, great question!

        It’s because all of humanity is part of a single system, like cells within a single body. In this body, there is a certain order of development that needs to take place. Just like when a corporeal body is developing in the mother’s womb, first one set of organs develop, then another, and another set, etc. Likewise with us. If we received an awakened point in the heart, it means that it’s our turn to develop in this system. And once we develop to a certain point, it will allow for others to be awakened and start their development.

          So in simple terms, we must first develop the desire, then the desire will lead to action (studying Kabbalah), & studying will enact inner change, which in turn will allow us to help others grow their P.I.T.H?

          I didn’t completely understand your response so this is to help my understanding.

        • #296781

          Hi Hensy,

          Yes, we first need to develop the desire. We do that by studying Kabbalah and trying to connect with our fellow students, with their points in the heart. This in turn grows our desire and causes inner changes to take place, until we begin to feel that these are not just fellow students, but rather parts of my soul. And this development in turn causes positive changes in the world, allowing others to start growing their points in the heart. We’ll learn about this in the more advanced lessons.

      I enjoy feeling and recognizing the forces around me. I’ve been developing my spiritual sense for a few years. Id go as far to say that the upper force has been making itself known to me after some time, lol. It’s fun. Strange. Kind. Has given me a lot of understanding at time. Also confusion. I’m thankful. I’m thankful I can help some others along the way too.
