The interesting aspect of what I;ve learned so far, is that we humans are harmful creatures and this is why we are being separated from the rest of existence, the upper worlds. Just like the human legal system that puts people who are harmful to society behind the walls, separated from the rest, the creator has put us behind the barriers so we wouldn’t harm the rest of the worlds. It might look a little dark and cruel but as soon as we take a look at our situation as egoistic creatures, we realize it had to be done in order for us to realize our harmfulness to the nature. I think kabbalah is a method for humans to decrease the time they have to spend in the prison by speeding up the realization of this fact that we are interworld criminals. xD
And for sure start to change our intentions and motives.
– In Kabbalah, distance is not measured in inches or yards; it’s measured in qualities.
– Clearly, the more we want, the emptier we feel. And the emptier we feel, the more frustrated we become
– The more egoistic we become, the emptier we feel, and the worse is the crisis
– Correction begins when a person realizes that his or her egoistic nature is the source of all evil.
– When we reach the level of absolute sinner, we can cry out to the Creator and eventually rise to the level of the absolutely righteous
– Those of us who love the Creator are sure to feel revulsion toward egoism, since we know from personal experience how much harm the ego can cause.
– Developing a hatred toward egoism will eventually lead to our liberation from it
I like the phrase “There’s an answer to all your questions” that the instructors here said more than once. That’s a comfort. I was brought up in a religion that didn’t answer my questions. In fact, expected me to believe a ‘divine mystery.’ That never made any sense to me. I was born with a brain that wants answers not fairy tales. It makes sense that ‘answers’ are out there. As precise and on time that all nature around us operates from, I just can’t believe in mysteries anymore. Kabbalah came to me in a dream with this phrase, “Kabbalah is not a religion. It is a way of life.” Well, it can be if one chooses it to be I guess…. This was said so strongly in my dream I woke up right after it and remembered it. (And I rarely remember my dreams). The thing is, I’ve NEVER looked into kabbalah before – not a book, article or even a conversation with anyone about it. But, I have had so many questions. Especially after being severely spiritually abused inside a religious cult.
I like the history, the lineage of kabbalah. That gives me comfort knowing I am learning something that isn’t some drummed up new fangled something. I like that it’s not a religion because I want to stay as far away from any religion as I can get. I just want answers. So, that’s why I’m here.
I’m finding the Hebrew roots of words very interesting. The Hebrew word for crater is Boreh which is from “Bo” (come) and “Re’eh” (see). So the word “creator” means “come see”. The creator is literally asking us to draw closer. The creator reveals before me the goal by the method of Kabbalah. And I develop in this so it will attract me to my development.
