      Вы требуете все проверять и не верить на слово. Подскажите как проверить то, о чем вы говорите пожалуйста.

        translation of Vyacheslav’s question:

        You demand to check everything and not to take anyone’s word for it. Please tell me how to check what you are talking about.

        Hi Vyacheslav,

        Kabbalah is a science. The Kabbalists are the scientists of Kabbalah. Everything we know is based on their research. This is similar to how other sciences work. The Kabbalists are those researchers that have performed a certain experiment and reached a certain result: the correction of our nature, the revelation of the Creator, the force of bestowal, etc. So if we are to replicate their experiment, to follow their procedures we should reach the same results.

        But if a person is not yet on the degree of a Kabbalist, how does he relate to everything he’s learning? Like to any other science. For example, when I read a physics textbook, I see different formulas and experiments that research our reality. If I’m reading this textbook in 8th grade, then I have no choice but to accept the things written there since they come from a credible source. If I’m reading this textbook in college, I’m already given some tools with which I can measure and verify some of these things for myself. And yet there are some concepts that are so advanced, that I have no way to verify them until I become a physicist myself and get access to all the tools that will help me research these things.

        Same with us here. There are some things I can verify for myself even when I’m just starting in the fundamentals of this wisdom, and then there are things that I can verify only when I myself have reached attainment.

        For now, the main tool that we can use to examine this wisdom is our point in the heart. When a person’s point in the heart awakens, it naturally pulls him to a place where he can fulfill it. So on our current level, to check what we’re learning is to see how much these things resonate with our point in the heart. If they don’t resonate, it could be that a person is not yet ripe for this wisdom and will search elsewhere. This follows the saying that “one studies only where his heart desires”. Later on, once a person reaches spiritual attainment, he will discover additional means by which he can examine all these things.

      By learning to love and intend to be altruistic: acts of inner equivalence of form.

      Through equivalence of form.

      We get in touch with the upper force — we have experiences we do not immediately understand.  The upper force reveals itself to us through coincidences, things that work out and give us this sense that there is something else guiding us.  When we wake up and start to recognize this as not incidental, but to start looking for a pattern in these events that happen in our lives, then we are starting to get in touch with the upper force and after that, the connection just becomes stronger

      I can connect with the upper force by first acknowledging my deficiencies which are as a result of the self(ego).Once an individual acknowledges this lack then he/she begins to realise that there is a higher power from which we came from and which wants to endow us with its goodness.We then learn of the qualities of this power and aspire to be like it in action and thought. This in my humble estimation is the true essence of the wisdom of kaballah.
