The God of the Tanakh is vengeful, wrathful, jealous, and spiteful – and it’s for this reason that so many people reject Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. By contrast, we are told in Kabbalah that the Creator is an all-loving, altruistic force. How can this contrast be explained? If the Tanakah is rooted in Kabbalah, or Kabbalah is rooted in the Judaic tradition (however you want to look at it), why are these images of “God” so different from one another?
How does one know when they’ve ascended to a specific degree in the spiritual world? Are you able to enter in and out of the spiritual world on demand? What does that look like? Those of you who have been practicing for years, what is that you’re experiencing that informs you beyond a shadow of a doubt the truth of Kabbalah?
I learned IÂ will never be satisfied with the vicious cycle of fleeting pleasures without attaining spirituality
If in our original state of unity with the creator it was “good” and we in perfect one-ness, what was the need to have us be separated for the sake of giving us independence? Why make us go through the shattering and the suffering just for us to make our way back to the original state? What is the value of us having that independence/that conscious choice? Would it not be better to have kept things that way in a state of ignorance and bliss? Also if the creator is a force and not a personal god, why do we say that it has a “master plan” – the way a person or a primitive God has plans?

In the first chapter of Kabbalah revealed, it is written that there was a time in the past where people were so unified with nature and with each other that they were able to communicate without words, like telepathy. Then as egoism grew, division was sown, society split into east and west, and along with that came the creation of the different languages, the biblical story of Babel.
Are we to believe these things are literally historically accurate? If so, where can we find proof? There are a number of historical claims made in this first chapter that don’t offer any citations, and I’m finding myself doubting their veracity.
