Everything just makes so much sense. The issue is is that I’m starting to see egoism and everything and starting to hate it quite a bit now I feel compelled to continue my studies in order to utilize the method of Kabbalah to obliterate my ego. I’m getting into this rut, where I am seeing my own ego and unable to do anything about it as well as seeing other peoples ego and being offended.
I want to understand the paradox of Kabbalah.  I dont understand how to transcend egoism to altruism without becoming a doormat.  I was in an abusive surgical residency and gave everything of myself into the residency, as much as I knew how to give. And, arguably, I gave too much.  I ended up burning out.  Does Kabbalah advocate being abused by a person or a system in power in search of altruism?  It seems easy for a Kabbalahist to be a Kabbalahist with no skin in the game, as in I don’t hear any practical life scenarios in KabU that address this.  I think of Christ, who was the ultimate altruist; does Kabbalah’s altruism extend to actual death in pursuit of shedding the ego?  What happens if a person seeking to be an altruist has a toxic abusive relationship with a parent.  Does the altruist need to give all to that parent leading  to loss of self and psychological deterioration?  I have heard casual answers to this question in KabU media saying:  Kabbalah is purely spiritual, you need to have a psychological condition treated psychologically.  But, this seems flippant and insufficient.  How do you achieve anything without a sense of I?
I liked the visualization of the creators right and left hand guiding us through life. the right hand drawing towards and the left hand pushing away. And that we perceive this as good and bad things in our lives.
“Understand” “Understand” “Understand” – Said multiple times in this intro video.
I begin to understand and come out of my limitations. The way have I gain a deeper understanding of my life and of the forces working in the world is through this measure of advancement in my study. The more is revealed that which was once concealed.
If everything in this world is a result of the upper forces, then what are we as human being in terms of spiritual bodies? What is the cause of us? The shattered soul of Adam. But that is a description of cause not a description of the current state. My understanding is that a soul is something we build in our lifetime, or not. So then, what is the description of the spiritual root of a person with and without kabalah?
