Preparation Question: In what way have I gained a deeper understanding of my life and of the forces working in the world?

I’m still confused about the 613 mitzvot. I understand people can do all the mitzvot, but not have the right intention, but if I’m not doing all the mitzvot, even if the ones I do, I do with intention of connecting to G!d, am I still not going to make the connection?

Hi Jeff,

Kabbalah and religion are two separate things, so I cannot comment on the religious observations of the Mitzvot. In general, regarding connecting to the Creator, we learn that the process goes “from the love of the created beings to the love of the Creator”. Meaning that if we want to reach a connection with the Creator, we can do so only through our connection with other people. This is why R. Akiva said that love your friend as yourself “is a great rule (klal) in the Torah”. The word rule (klal in Hebrew), also means general, all encompassing. In other words, this is the all encompassing rule that summarizes all of our work. We’ll learn more about this and how to practice it in the more advanced semesters.

Hello,

I have learned  that this life is only a preparation to go back to the steps of correction to achieve the Creator.  We don’t have Free Will, everything is already decided by the Creator.  However, when we accept this path of spirituality we are responsible for our work to study and work in groups to be able to attract the Light and therefore help humanity!  We are in groups so that we can measure our EGO and try to achieve a common goal and transform our “will to receive” to a “will to bestow”

It is a long path of study through books, teachers and group study! but it brings us peace in our hearts and desire to reach the Creator.

My life will dissolve into the upper light as the illness of my egoism gradually fades away by acts of bestowal  with the correct intention to not expect a reward, but will nonetheless constitute a higher level of pleasure a with Solomon in the Song of Songs

Interesting question. Although there is something in the study of kabbalah, I am not sure what it is just yet.

Some of the concepts are not new to me, so reading these books has not taught me anything new.

I prefer to take a gnostic approach to all new wisdom. Until I experience it for myself, these things are just theories others have written.

I am not sure if this way of studying kabbalah is an accurate Map to the upper worlds or just another form of indoctrination.
