Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist scriptures all talk about the coming of a golden age where evil will be eliminated from our world and a new enlightened society will emerge.
They all may have different names for it and different names for the Messiah who will bring this about but the stories are all the same.
Those five religions make up almost 80% of the world’s population.
No more war…no more conflict…no more hunger…no more disease…no more mental illness.

Hi everyone, I’m Benjamin.
Though I was born in a Jewish family I never connected to my Jewish roots. Because of that I’ve spent decades studying various Eastern religions and philosophy as well as the scriptures that are considered sacred by the Christians and Muslims. All of this left me feeling that something was missing.
When I recently discovered Kabbalah I was blown away. It connected all of the dots and gave me explanations as to why the Universe and humanity is the way it is. The last time I felt this turned on and hungry to learn was when I was a freshman in college and first started to learn about Buddhism and Hinduism.
Finding Kab U was a blessing. They not only are able to share all of this in a well organized manner, they are able to do it using modern technology and for an insanely low price.
All I can hope is that all of you are even half as excited about learning Kabbalah as I am.
Without anyone actually explaining this concept to me this has actually been one of my core beliefs since childhood.
I would constantly get into debates with friends and family who were of different religious backgrounds.
I would tell them things like:
“There is only one life form in the Universe and that is God”
or
“God did not create the Universe – God manifested into the Universe.”
or
“Everything you see is an aspect of God.”
It is so amazing to study with a group of people who share my core beliefs.
I’m really excited about this course digging deeper into the concepts of concealment, the misconception of free will, and how this can translate into the evolution of humanity as a whole.
In this introduction to Kabbalah I learned the inherent reasons for my history of unbalanced desires, addictions, and compulsions. As well as the inevitable disillusionment I felt once I had obtained whatever it was that I was seeking. I learned that I was not a “broken” obsessive/compulsive/addictive human being. I was created this way. And I was created this way for a reason.
I learned the reasons why I never felt comfortable with the interpretations I was given for the stories in the Torah. I learned that I was not wrong in my beliefs. Just that there are several “levels” to understanding the Torah. And that I just had not yet found a teacher who was capable of revealing those more advanced levels.
And I learned that many of my higher beliefs about the nature of the Universe and our creator that seemed to contradict what most religions taught were shared and supported by a group of fellow seekers.
I feel vindicated, relieved, restored, inspired, humbled, and grateful.
I have been a spiritual seeker my entire life. Since I started to study Kabbalah for the first time I feel truly connected to my Jewish roots. And I feel inspired in a way that I have not felt since I was a freshman in college. I’ve been “drinking in” the wisdom of Kabbalah as fast as I can swallow.
This is the best feeling you can have. A feeling that my life is moving in the right direction and that I am part of a group who sincerely understands me.
And I feel incredibly grateful and humble. Grateful that I have been given this gift and humble in that my creator believes that I am worthy of receiving this gift and capable of understanding what I have been given.
I wish my fellow students even felt a small part of what I’ve been feeling.
I understand what you are referring to in terms of spiritual desires that we will only possess in the causal/spiritual world and are not related to the desires we have in the manifested/physical world.
I just can’t believe that such a specific number such as 613 would randomly be both the number of spiritual desires and the number of Mosaic laws.
There must be some relation.
