I am struggling with what feels like the notion that in order to attain a ‘higher’ reality, we must transcend / come out of the body. This principle feels like it may be separating body from divinity/ Creator and feels like a masculine principle (masculine transcends/ feminine descends). Through the teachings of Kabbalah, does the body hold wisdom/ access point to the Divine?
To oneness with life and the Creator. To merging of the feminine wisdom and the masculine principle in my body. To deepest truth and wisdom. To mercy, compassion and unconditional love for self and other.
I have one more question 🙂 so to become like the creator has to be an embodied, experiential experience, rather than a mental exercise. Does Kabbalah have any embodied practices to support those who study it?
Shalom and thank you for answering my question in advance, I have two in fact. My first question is about the ties between Kabbalah and Jewish people. There is emphasis that Kabbalah is not related to religion and is not to be only studied by jewish people, which I understand. However, all the main Kabbalists seem to be also Jewish (varying degrees of religious, but mostly so) and from the research I have independently done, Hassideism, which is a branch of Jewish religious tradition is built on the learnings/ texts of Kabbalah. Can you explain a bit more about this inter-relationship. My second (unrelated) question is about whether Kabbalah teaches us anything about embodiment practices? I mean, if we take the quote – “when we let heaven descent through us, the temple rises” more literally and see that it actually closely correlates with lost teachings of ancient priestesses, who through ritual and descent into the body and surrender were able to reach the Divine. Does Kabbalah have any reference, or practices of the wisdom of the body or is it a mental science (that you contemplate and embody externally with you actions, rather than internally through your body? Thank you and I hope the questions make sense.
Hi fellow seekers, my name is ALYONA. I was born in Lithuania and now live in Melbourne, Australia. I have been following the Kabbalah path for about 3-4 years now. It has come into my life together with my mentor and helped me find deep surrender, peace and understanding of the mysteries of creation and manifestation. I am now stepping more fully Into my life purpose of helping other souls find their way back to themselves through divine truth and compassion. I am hoping to deepen my knowledge through taking these courses and find beautiful like hearted community.
