Reflect: Share something from the lesson that blew your mind, or even just gave you a new perspective.

I am most influenced by the idea that we live in an infinite world of possibilities, that our 5 senses are filters that limit our perception of this more expansive reality, and that there is an inner knowing within us which can be cultivated — an inner light that, if developed, allows us to apprehend the root world.

I always want to know about the reality and the ture world! Kabbalah gives me a chance! And the limit of five senses and the idea of transcending this limit inspired me！

Hello everyone, happy to be with you all. Just some thoughts to share, please reply if you like as I am always open for a bit of conversation 🙂

I was amazed to learn that Kabbalah quietly removed itself from the world when it’s population began to explore and develop ideas of Religion, Philosophy and Natural Science. That, as a result people became more interested in and felt they needed something more than Kabbalah.

I had always believed that Science was always a part of any study in truth, that it was a natural part of the body of knowledge being studied. Religion as I understand the word, is derived from the Latin word Religare which translates into English as ‘to re-unite or to unify’ as in re-uniting a human soul back to their creator. Yoga from the Sanskrit ‘Yug’ translates as ‘to yoke together’ again implying a reunification to ones creator. Therefor the purpose of Religion is or was to be a reunification of our soul with that of our creator.

I was taught that Philosophy is a combination word arrived at through the merger of Philios and Sophia. Philios means Love and Sophia meaning Wisdom, so we get Philosophy or the Love of Wisdom. Wisdom iirc is part of the First Logos or Kether on the tree of life, associated with the Creator. So Philosophers would study the Wisdom of God in the effort to understand oneself and our relationship to the Creator and it’s creation, to reunite with this being.

Gnostics concern themselves with all of the above, including Kabbalah which holds a special place in the hearts of Gnostics and they tend to boil this all down into Pyschology, teaching that we study these Gnostic traditions in order to understand our personal inner pyschology with the purpose of exposing and eliminating Ego and all that within which prevents us from reunification with our creator.

whew, my head hurts hahaha

I LOVE the idea that we are receiving suuch a small percentage of information that we get from Reality !!!
That all we have to do is “tune” our antenaee, or get bigger glasses !!!!

Me ha dado una nueva perspectiva enterarme de que la sabiduría de la Kabbalah, según creo entender, nos sugiere no abstenernos de satisfacer los deseos corporales.

I have a deep sense of relief and an upwelling of emotion like seeing a loved one after a long, sad separation.
