This dilemma of confusion of where one’s freewill lies is well shown in the statement of Apostle Paul “the things I want to do, those I do not and the things I don’t want to do that is what I find myself doing”. He lamented there possibly would be nobody to help him out of this problem of confusion of “where freewill lies”, I believe. Your teaching aptly explains the sources of influences on our decisions and choices in life. We are more like puppets in the hands of the puppeteers DNA, education, upbringing etc., until with the wisdom of Kabbalah, I think we can learn how to align our will, decisions and actions with the altruistic forces of the Creator, so that we receive the gift of bestowal of perception of true reality. On this Kabbalah hints at the bestowal of prophecy and the Holy Spirit if I get your teachings right.
Yes. I like all other human beings usually feel reality is the product of my perception, whereas this is not the case. One school of mysteries tries to distinguish between reality and actuality. Reality is ascribed to what man sees and feels which are usually different from the actual nature of what is perceived, and this they call actuality. The first time I took some exercises in practical “Cabbalah” about two decades back, I was able to see what would happen the following day and at a time of crisis at my place of work, I saw in my dream a gray Angel as tall as the building suggested as the cause of crises. The following day, riot broke out. At the physical level, no one sees the causative forces behind world events but from the inner worlds also called the upper worlds, actual reality is perceived at various degrees.
1. We should study and practice to “time travel” to our previous lives to learn about our previous weaknesses and strengths so that while appreciating the Creator for all he has made us and given to us and continues giving, we shall shift our consciousness from being just receivers but active givers.
2. We should learn how to daily connect with the higher forces that govern us from the upper worlds to enable us experience actual reality as opposed to mundane reality will be great advantage for living a better life.
3. By working assiduously to tame our ego and employ it for living in conformity with the altruistic purposes of the Creator should lead to a peaceful, fruitful and more contented life. This should also speed up the termination of cycles of reincarnation.
To have one’s prayer answered, it is necessary to submit to the will of God on all issues and to appreciate that whatever God allows to happen to any human is for his or her good and there is a purpose for all occurrences. It is very important to not to assume that God made a mistake with whatever happens to us and we have to beg him to change the situation. We should not try to change God’s decision but rather change ourselves to conform with God’s harmonious laws running the universe. We cannot bribe God but we should be imitators of God.
1. Kabbalah has nothing to do with mysticism, magic or so many other types of knowledge in the world.
2. Idea that the world and other upper worlds have similarities and correspondences even though the higher worlds are much more refined.
3. How evil the ego is and the need to handle it wisely.
4. And much more.
