Hi Annililia,
Yes, it’s possible. This is because our health is not always the result of our own actions, rather it’s often a reflection of the society and environment that we live in. This follows what we learned that all of humanity is completely interconnected, like cells within a single body. So even if there are a few healthy cells out there, if the body as a whole is sick, those healthy cells as well would feel it.

Hi Michael, good question!
It depends on whether or not a person has acquired a soul. Kabbalah defines the soul as a type of a desire. Our nature is the desire to receive. When we correct this nature, for it to operate in the direction of bestowal, that corrected desire is called the soul. So right now we don’t have this corrected desire, so we don’t have this thing called a soul. We only have a soul in potential which is called the point in the heart. If we realize this potential, then with it we build the soul. If not, this same potential will continue to reincarnate again and again until it gets realized.

Hi Laila,
Developing the sixth sense means acquiring the Creator’s qualities of love and bestowal. This cannot happen incidentally, by chance, without consciously aspiring towards it, as this would violate the rule that “there is no coercion in spirituality”.

Hi Mark,
It’s not the intellectual learning itself. After all, we can upload all of the Kabbalistic books onto a computer, but the computer won’t change as a result of this. Rather the Kabbalistic study is a means by which we can extract the light. It’s ultimately this special force that is called the light that takes us out of the path of suffering onto the path of light.

Hi Derek,
Ein Sof means infinity (literally translated “without end”). It’s not the Creator Himself, rather it’s the Creator’s attitude to the created beings, to fill them with infinite pleasure. Or more accurately, to fulfill the desire to the max. Similar to how you can take a cup and fill it up to the max where it’s impossible to add any more liquid to the cup. Even if you add one more drop it will just spill over. That state is called Ein Sof.

Hi Mark,
In Kabbalah, the ego is not a bad force but rather a partner that helps us to advance. Meaning we don’t eliminate our ego, we rise above it. It turns into a type of hill or mountain that we rise above. In other words, the greater the ego, the further up we can climb, and the greater the spiritual level we can achieve. On the other hand if we eliminate the ego, then the spiritual level we can achieve is relatively tiny.
