Any state in which we are separated from the Creator is bad.

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

First, run to the sources and try to cleave onto their words initially, and then try to enter them emotionally. Kabbalists will only talk about the spiritual world–that it is the perception of the one ruling force in reality that only does good. When a person feels suffering, this is certainly only on the side of the receiver, therefore the change must occur there as well in order to perceive something differently. The aim at these times, from the Creator, is not to “cause suffering”–the Creator cannot do this, rather, to cause us to rise above the existence of bitter/sweet and into an existence of true/fasle.

Above reason is the state of wanting to resemble the Creator.

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

We will always lean towards judging others, and criticizing them–this is our nature. The commandment is to not want this as our nature.

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

Above reason means I have a reason, I have an egoistic (opposite the Creator) opinion and the power of “faith”–the Creator’s help–I’m able to rise above it and exist in the intention to bestow.

[Chris – KabU Instructor]

I couldn’t tell you what they did back then, but we know Kabbalah speaks about the inner world of a person and not what occurs externally. If a person says something or doesn’t say it, does something or doesn’t do it–this isn’t within the realm of what the method of Kabbalah speaks about.

Thanks!
