If we’re different people, is the bestowal from the Creator changed? This can influence the connections we may have between us? So, how do we equalize the differences so we can build true connections between us and with the Creator?
The Equivalence of Form is the frequency on which each one connects with the Creator, by being like the Creator. Each one can do this upon whatever they are, their own desire, by rising above it, and going toward connection with others. Everyone has the same chance in this, to reach the Creator.
Thank you for this course. I have a better understanding of the science of Kabbalah and look forward to further studies. I particularly found the live meeting with Julian to be very enlightening. It is remarkable that the questions I had at the beginning of the meeting were all answered thanks to the fellow students.
For those who are not familiar with the Hebrew language would you suggest making a list or some kind of index system of the most often used Hebrew terminology and the English/individuals first language translations. Does this kind of list already exist with authentic/true to Kabbalah English translations?
Hi Joan,
I don’t think learning Hebrew is central to the first major stages of advancement. Most words that are in Hebrew need to be in Hebrew untranslated. Keter, Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin, Malchut, Adam Kadmon, Atzilut, Beria, Yetzira, Assiya it does no good to have some prosaic translation of. If you know Hebrew, in fact, you need to unlearn it so as not to confuse your definitions with terms that you really can’t define until you attain them. But we have a course in Hebrew here at KabU, which gives you the few basics I think you need. For example, there are a handful, such as Ohr (Light), Kli (vessel) – maybe 10-20 terms covered in the course – which are essential, but also you’ll quickly just absorb them being around us.
The point in one’s heart is an essential key to finding the way that we are required to pass into the spiritual world. I have understood that through my subconscious mind, feelings are expressed and giving a drive to certain actions and understanding. This is quite often understood during the night and on waking up in the morning, a solution to what one has to do is given. Could this be part of the process in obtaining the light?
Hi Malcom,
It’s true, the subconscious is powerful, can store memories and present solutions – in fact, it is the one doing most of the things we subsequently take credit for. It’s as if someone, having traveled thousands of miles, arrives and hands me a briefcase, and the second it’s in my hands, it seems to me that I packed this case and brought it all those miles. Not feeling where the inclinations within me come from isn’t spiritual, nor is, for once, realizing that something is being given to me from someone, in a dream as you said. What’s closer to spiritual is realizing that EVERYTHING is coming only from the Creator with at least the certainty you felt when you received such solutions while sleeping.
Some of the Greek philosophers describe the people they learned their science from in their work. They talk mostly of people of African descent. Could it be that the original Kabbalists were from Africa? Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Herodotus, Thales, all studied in Africa. Herodotus even described his teachers as Black-skinned people of the region, whom he credited with advanced knowledge in various fields.
It’s true the Greeks learned from the Africans. But Kabbalah originated a bit to the Northeast of Africa, in Babylon, and then moved back toward Africa. Babylon was a melting pot of peoples from all over, including those from Africa. So, certainly some of the original Kabbalists had dark skin. Kabbalists were not a certain race but a collection of different kinds of people who were only later classified as a people, according to their spiritual designation. Later, they moved closer to Africa, and some ended up all the way in Egypt. Afterward, they moved to what is now the land of Israel, and then spread out again, some living in Northern Africa, especially Egypt and Morocco. Egypt, Greece, and Israel are all neighbors on the Mediterranean sea – one could get from Greece to Egypt or Israel even in rowboat in about 40 days 🙂 – and at some point, in that region, the Greeks certainly learned from the Kabbalists – because at that time Kabbalists were willing to teach anyone who wanted to learn.
Is heard that kabbalists don’t need to sleep as much as regular people. I’m curious as to why this is.
